**FORMERLY THE ALPHA'S BETA** Josh is turning 18, and with that milestone comes the possibility of finding his mate. Temperamental and, more often than not, the cause of his own problems, the only person who truly understands him is Darren. As his soon to be Alpha, it only makes sense that the two are so close. What doesn't make any sense is the sudden attraction to someone he's seen as a friend his whole life. Darren is the next Alpha, juggling an unruly beta and the weight of his own inheritance. At 19, life seemed to be going just fine for him until his Beta disappears right when bodies start showing up. Together, they must come to terms with being more than just Alpha and Beta and protect their pack from one of the biggest threats in its history.

Watson Young has always been a bright kid, no one could deny that, but even the most intelligent people can make the dumbest mistakes. Keep the dumbest secrets hidden. Watson was rather good at that, considering that no one knows about the stuff he deals with at home. Elijah Andrews, one of the wealthiest kids in the school, but doesn't necessarily describe Elijah, no, that describes his financial state. Elijah's not stupid, he knows his friends are pretty fake, seen the drooling stare with money in their eyes, blinding them from seeing Elijah as something more than walking money. Elijah had a busy schedule, which was probably why he never noticed Watson, the small cello player in the school's orchestra. He never saw the guy who sat in the back of his classes, never speaking a word to everyone. But neither did anyone else, if they had, maybe they would have noticed the bruises covering Watson's arms from a mixture of bullies and his drunken father. What happens when the school's wealthiest attendee notices the quiet cello playing boy with too many unexplainable bruises?

"that's rich coming from a pretty boy" I narrow my eyes. "I'm not a pretty boy." He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. "not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money" I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry. "you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do" He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear "I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight" My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated. ••• Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School. A private behavioural school for those who can afford it, but after one too many expulsions and a scholarship opportunity Jasper finds himself stuck in a place filled with pretty boys who've done nothing worse then forget to shine their silver spoon. Beckett Chambers took on a mentorship position at Balton's to stay away from home. He could care less about status and social image he just wants to find a way out of Manning Heights and Balton's was supposed to be his safe haven until then. What he didn't expect was for his mentee to show up and make everything a whole lot more complicated. ________________________________________ Disclaimers: •This is a bXb story! •This is a LIGHTLY edited, first draft *respectful* constructive criticism is welcome🤍 Cover art: Created on Canva, unfortunately I don't know the artist who created the artwork :( Started: December 2020 Completed: December 2022 •• #1 in QueerLove -04/05/22 #1 in boysschool -05/15/22 #2 in MxM -05/05/22 #2 in Confused -05/19/22 #1 in Poorboy -09/08/22 #1 in Queer -05/08/22 #1 in Mentor -07/5/22 #1 in bxblove -09/01/22 #1 in boardingschool-12/16/22 #1 in delinquent

Owen has been bullied by Jason the future alpha of the crimson crescent pack. And now all he wants is to leave the pack, get away as far as possible and never come back. But what would happen when he finds out that the person who he hates the most is his mate, Will they survive the game the fate plays with them?

In the Astor Group Ice Arenas, the worlds of ice hockey and figure skating merge by the border between working-class Brunson and the upper-crust Lake City. Liam Astor is the boy everyone knows. Everyone knows he's the son of the CEO of Astor Investments Group. Everyone knows he only skates with his partner. Everyone knows his favorite hobby is turning heads and slacking jaws. And everyone knows he had a summer fling with another boy when he went away before senior year. Eli Blake is the boy who's lost too much to throw his goals all away for distractions. He has a plan to make it out of Brunson, and it involves throwing himself at his chances of a pro career with the NHL. No college, no grades, no detours except whatever he strictly has to do to get by and make it to his ultimate goal. Eli is a mystery to Liam. And Liam is too enticing for Eli to be able to resist. Maybe the boy everybody knows has a secret side to him as well. And maybe, the boy who can't afford distractions could use one after all.

I couldn't see him that well from this angle, but I could tell he dressed expensively. He wore nice dress pants with a white dress shirt with rolled up sleeves. The watch on his hand shinned, like it was made from little diamonds. I squinted my eyes, looking closer to see his face. He had groomed facial hair, and thick eyebrows. He had light brown hair. He looked older, maybe around his late thirties. Who he was, I didn't know? My mom and dad barely brought over any of their friends. The man crossed his arms. He rose his chin and looked up, right at me like he sensed me there. He raised his eyebrow at me. For a moment we just stared at each other. I wanted to figure out who he was, and he was probably doing the same. Finally, he gave me a smile....

I find myself in a predicament, or rather, in deep binding trouble, one that has no way out by the looks of it, and I have no one to blame but myself. Why? Well, I played around too much and got myself trapped by a spider; deadly and silent in his approach as he pounces, one who possesses an irresistible smile, a devious mind, lustful dreamy eyes, a tall mouthwatering muscular body, and a knack for always getting what he wants. The thing or person, he happens to want at the moment, is me; no surprise there really, I am that awesome...yes, I do toot my own horn, nothing wrong with that...awesome, remember. Anyway, the spider, Dorian Mars, has somehow managed to trap me before I even knew what was going on. How he did it is still a mystery. I was always careful, keeping him at arms length, not giving into his way or dancing to his tune. So how is it that I now find myself all fluffed up on his 'dinner' table ready to be devoured as he so please, all prettily wrapped with a bow, and a card slapped on my ass that says, "Please, Eat Me?"

Like any other teenager, I wanted a damn break from school. Well, a murder on campus gave me that break. Sadly (for me, mostly) the murder had to do with my new... "friend": a homicidal, obsessive, cunning, and possessive stalker with an irritating sense of humor. How did I stumble onto the stalker of all stalkers? no. damn. clue. What I do know is that they text me obsessively, kill people around me, and threaten my friends and family if I throw away my phone or tell the cops. Well, they cover the categories of insane, murderous, and annoying, so I'm already screwed. But that doesn't mean I'm going down without a fight.

Sequel to My dominant Mate An incubus name Theron and an Alpha named Jace. Two very different species, but never more right for each other. A rare species and a beast of a man. Only time will tell if dangers will come their way. With only a few incubus and succubus are, so its only a matter of time before Theron's entire race becomes extinct. Thankfully, he has a powerful mate at his side.

I read it and swallowed. I have somewhere to stay now. I can just focus on working and paying off all the debts I had accumulated. I didn't need to do this anymore. I'll always have somewhere to go. Chris wouldn't kick me out. Would he? No. No he wouldn't. I couldn't doubt him like that. We've been best friends for years. He wouldn't kick me out, and he wouldn't lie to me and tell me I could stay when I couldn't. You mean like you wouldn't lie to him? A traitorous little voice whispered in the back of my mind. I winced and bit my lip, before moving the cursor to hover over the delete button. Do I really need the money so badly that I would sell myself out? On the other hand, was I really in a position that I could say no to work, even if that work was as distasteful as this? I moved the cursor away from the delete button, doubt starting to niggle at the back of my mind. Of all people I knew how quickly a situation could change, and I also knew that Chris was really angry at me right now. I also knew that I couldn't rely on him forever. I didn't want to be that friend that always had to have someone there to help them. I was a stronger person than that. My eyes flickered over the message again. The question is, am I strong enough to do this without it taking everything that's left of me? Everything that I am? ------------------------------------- This is Book TWO of my series. Book One is called Tongue-Tied and can be found under Works in my profile. I highly recommend you read that first, otherwise this one won't make 100% sense. As usual, this book IS boyxboy, and it WILL contain sex scenes between two males, as well as graphic violence, mature language and homophobic slurs. These opinions are not my own, if they were I wouldn't be writing this. Yay gay! *Throws confetti in the air* Other warnings include - prostitution, terminal illnesses. Thanks to @KaedeHaruto for the beautiful cover :) UPDATES will occur every Friday <3
