Alpha Alexa
Chapter 32

Julians POV

I had just hung up on Alexa. Now that Colter was awake, I had to cut ties with her all the way. It was hard and something I didn't want to do it. I needed a drink. I walked over to my liquor cabinet in my office and pulled out some homemade stuff that my kitchen makes. It was stronger than human liquor and actually got us drunk faster and we didn't have to drink a ton of it.

"Luca, a drink in my office?" I mind-linked him.

"Ya man, I will be up soon." He replied back.

I walked to the couch, poured a shot of it, drank it down, then another, and then about four more.

"Zion, we have to get over her, what do you suggest?"

"I don't know she was perfect."

I didn't get to answer him because Luca came into my office.

"Whoa man, what happened? It's bad if you brought that stuff out." He said as he came and sat down on the couch with me.

I let out a big sigh and flung my body all the way back on the couch. Luca gave me a worried look.

"Look, I had to cut off all ties with Lex. I told her to never call me again, when she called to tell me that Colter is awake."

"First Alpha Colter is awake? That is fantastic! Why do you need to cut ties with her? I am confused about that?"

"We were sleeping together, and she made it clear that is all she wanted but somewhere I fell in love with her. I think that she was starting to have feelings for me as well but then Colter showed up."

"Shit man, I am sorry that sucks. Let's go out and get you drunk and laid. The best way to get over someone is to get under someone new."

I just groaned at that because that is the oldest saying ever and I don't know if I am ready to sleep with anyone else. I got up and followed him out to the garage and he drove us into town where we had a bar. We got there and walked right in and sat at our normal table and were immediately bought some beer.

"Thanks, darling, but the next round we need a shot or two of wolf's liquor," Luca said.

"Rough day boys?" She asked.

"You could say that beautiful, but you could make it better for my friend here." Luca said.

She gave me a big smile and walked away swaying her hips. I couldn't help but stare at her a*s as she left. It was a great ass. It would be a handful but then my mind flashed to Alexa naked in my bed.

"Dude, that waitress is hot. You could take her home easily but you're going to have to have a little game. I can't do all the work for you." Luca said.

"I don't know if I want to take someone home tonight." I told him.

"Well, if you don't then I will."

"Be my guest man."

She came back over and sat the shots down on the table. She had brought six of them. I picked up one and downed it and then the next one. I held back on the third one as the waitress was watching me. She slid into the booth beside me and gave me a sad look. "What's wrong Alpha?"

"Just a bad day."

Well, you know sometimes being a bar tender, it also makes me a therapist. I am pretty good at helping with problems.

I didn't reply to her. I didn't know what to say. I was a little drunk already and just wanted to get really drunk. She got up and stood at the table.

"I will go get you guys' some more shots." She said and walked away.

Luca finally had his shots and left me to go dance with someone and that's when the waitress came back over with more shots. She again slid into the booth.

"You know Alpha you really look like you could use a friend that isn't getting drunk right now.

"What is your name?" I asked her.

"Nicki."

"Well Nicki, don't call me Alpha anymore it's just Julian. A friend is something that I need right now."

"Someone really did a number on you didn't they and by someone, I mean a she-wolf." She said.

"Yes, but the shitty part is that she isn't to blame, I am. She was very clear about her feelings from the beginning."

"Let me get you some more shots and when I am off, we can leave."

I just nodded my head at her, and she took off. I couldn't replace Luca anywhere I looked.

"Luca, where are you?" I mind-linked him.

"Bathroom, with that girl." He replied back.

"Oh goddess, at least take her home where it is clean."

"I will but we wanted round one out of the way."

"That's disgusting. I will replace my own way home."

I cut the link with him as I didn't want to know any more of what he was planning on doing. I sat back taking shot after shot and watching the waitress. I know she is a part of my pack, but I don't really remember her. I am going to have to ask where she came from and how long she has been here. I should have known this information but for some reason I just couldn't place her.

She really was beautiful. She had short red hair and green eyes. She was on the shorter side but had these curvy hips and a nice perky ass. Her tits weren't that big, but they were perky, and she always had a smile on her face. I don't know how long I watched her, and I don't know how many shots I took because she eventually just left the bottle on my table.

"Alright Julian, let's get you out of here." She said as she came up to my table.

She held at her hand to me and pulled me up, but I stumbled back and fell right on my ass in the booth. I started laughing. I hadn't been this drunk in a long time. She reached out again and pulled me up and this time I stayed up. She threw my arm around her shoulder and helped me out of there.

"Where is your car?" I asked as we walked past everything in the parking lot.

"I don't have one but don't worry my place isn't very far."

"You walk home this late by yourself?" "Yes."

I just let her lead me away to her place. I wasn't in great shape right now. After about ten minutes of walking, we came to the pack's apartment complexes, and she led me up to two flights of stairs and she fished her keys out of her pocket and unlocked the door and helped me inside. She walked me over to the couch where I just flopped down and she walked into the kitchen and came back with a large bottle of water and some sandwiches.

"Here drink this and eat this. It will help sober you up and feel better in the morning if you do." "Thank you."

"So, tell me about Alexa?"

How the hell did she know that it was her. Who was this girl? I had to replace out.

"How did you know that it was her and why don't I know you? You're a part of my pack and I don't remember you."

"I've been here a few years. I ran from my old pack because they were awful. You took me in, and I made a comfy life for myself. I stay out of the way and leave everyone alone."

"I am sorry. I don't mean to ignore pack members. I should have remembered you."

"It's ok. It's what I wanted. I don't trust very easily, and I like to be left alone."

"So how do you know I was seeing Alexa?"

"Well, it's pretty obvious. She was here and you were happy and at her every practice and the way you looked at her, it was like she was your fated mate, and then she was gone, and then you were getting drunk in my bar." "Where you in one of her classes?"

"No. I would go to the gym and the time I had was between my two jobs was during one of her classes." "Does one not pay enough?"

"That's a story for another day. Why don't you tell me what she did to break your big bad alpha heart."

"Nothing and that's the worst part. She was clear from the get-go that she didn't want a relationship and we were only a release for each other, and I didn't care. She had lost her mate like me, and I didn't know that she would get a second chance mate. I never did. So, when he showed up and turned out to be her mate, she gave him a chance even though he hurt her, and I was the one to protect her."

"Listen don't be mad. She didn't have the best life. Her parents didn't love her, and her dad did an awful thing to her and the fact that she survived it is a miracle. I know I almost didn't."

"How do you know what happened to her?"

"Because I was her brother's mate, and her father did the same thing to me. He made Ryan reject me. He did it without even thinking. I left the next day and ended up here."

"Why didn't you tell me this when you came here? I could have helped you more and I could have tried to do something about that pack."

"Because you had just lost your mate and were barely functioning when I showed up."

"I am sorry about that. It was a dark time in my life, and you were going through the loss of a mate as well. I should have been a better Alpha."

"It's ok, I needed time alone. I needed to figure out my life and I needed to learn how to stand on my own two feet."

This girl was unbelievable. She had been through so much and I wasn't there for her like I should have been and here she is being kind to me and letting me talk and being honest with me. She suddenly pulled me into a hug. She wrapped her tiny arms around my shoulders and pulled me to her. It felt nice. It felt right.

I pulled her down on the couch with me and we just laid there on her couch cuddling. She wasn't trying to get into my pants. She was just trying to comfort me, and it was the first time in weeks that I felt some sort of peace. We laid there until we fell asleep together just holding each other.

I woke up in the morning alone and with a pounding headache. I obliviously drank way too much. I rolled over and there was a note on the table with some water and pain pills.

"Julian, I know when you wake up your head is going to hurt. Drink this and swallow these. Feel free to stay as long as you need. I had to go to work. I had a great time talking with you last night. If you ever need to talk again you know where to replace me."

Nicki.

I think I made a new friend last night and I definitely was going to talk with her again. I don't like that she is working two jobs and walking home alone that late.

"Julian, there was something off about her last night?" Zion linked me after taking the pills and drank the entire water bottle. "What do you me?"

"I couldn't sense her wolf at all last night. She had no scent of one and I tried to reach out to her wolf, and I couldn't replace one." "That is really weird. I will be talking to her again. I was too drunk to notice that part, I guess."
