Her Devilish Alpha - Chapter 198
The man that laid on Xavier’s bed got up from his bed.
“You catch on pretty quickly. Way faster than I would’ve expected you to.”
Getting straight to the point, Madeline tilted her head questioningly, “Who are you? And what are you doing in someone else’s house?”
That same grin he had on his face before returned to his face as he walked right over to her.
“I’m Lawrence, Lawrence Ronan.”
She stared at him, quickly piecing things together. Ronan was Xavier’s last name, so the man that stood across from her must be Xavier’s… twin brother. She huffed, displeased that he had tried getting into her pants when she hadn’t even known him before that day. The only reason she hadn’t tried attacking him or kicked him out was because… As much as she didn’t want to admit it, he had Xavier’s face. Besides, it was no easy feat making it all the way here from wherever he came from. He must have been a werewolf too, or some other species.
“So what, your plan was to somehow trick me into sleeping with you because you look exactly like the man I’m in love with?”
“Pretty much.”
“Did you not think there would be any repercussions?”
“I can protect myself quite well, I don’t have to worry about any repercussions.”
“…quit looking at me like that.”
“Like what?”
“Like I’m some delicious piece of meat. And keep the dirty jokes to a minimum.”
“But you are hot, there’s no denying that. Can’t blame me for wanting to–”
“Keep ’em to a minimum. Man, I can’t believe you and Xavier are brothers. You sure do look alike but Xavier’s a gentleman. You’re perverted and shameless.”
“Hmm, can’t argue with that. Xavier’s always been a goody two shoes. But I’m not him, I like enjoying the pleasures life has to offer.”
“Pleasures as in sleeping with various women?”
Nose up in the air, Lawrence insisted, “It’s an adventure, not some sin.”
Madeline folded her arms against her chest, “I can’t believe I really thought you were Xavier for a second.”
“So you admit, for a second, I had you fooled,” he smirked.
“Don’t flatter yourself. I’m only interested in one man and you’re not him.”
“But I do look like him, I can act like I’m him if that’s your thing. I’m also amazing in bed, and making people feel a certain way.”
Madeline facepalmed.
“I’m not sleeping with you.”
“Hmm, fine. I guess I tried. And also, since you asked who I am and didn’t immediately peg me as Xavier’s twin brother that means you didn’t know who I was. Xavier didn’t mention me, did he?”
Pursing her lips, Madeline reasoned, “He probably has a reason for keeping your existence from me.”
“You’re the woman he loves, isn’t he supposed to tell you everything?”
“There’s bound to be several things he won’t want to tell me, he doesn’t have to tell me if he chooses not to.”
“Wow, smart and considerate. I can see why he loves you so much.”
“Am I supposed to thank you right now?”
“You can thank me by doing more than just say it aloud.”
“Hard pass.”
“You sure? Many girls pass me down until they give in and–”
“And what if I said yes? Hmm? Don’t you think Xavier would be upset or do something? We’re soulmates, you know.”
“I can handle my brother.”
“Sure you can.”
“I have a question,” Lawrence stated.
“Shoot.”
“What made you realise I wasn’t Xavier?”
Madeline chuckled, “Oh, that. Me and Xavier aren’t dating, we’ve gone on a few dates but we’re going with the flow. We just had a talk about it.”
“Wow, so I must’ve made a quite convincing Xavier. Seems like I do know my brother enough.”
“And what about your brother?” Another voice asked.
Madeline whipped around to see Xavier.
The real Xavier, this time.
“Darling,” she called, her voice softer than usual as she bit her lip.
She had missed him so damn much.
“I see you’ve met my brother,” Xavier said, narrowing his eyes at Lawrence and wondering what the man had told Madeline.
“You never told me you had a brother,” Madeline said, eyeing him.
Xavier looked apologetically at her. Family was a sensitive topic for him, although Madeline knew that already.
“And you never told me you found your soulmate, brother dear,” Lawrence added, an amused expression on his face.
Of course, Xavier was unaware Lawrence had tried to sleep with Madeline and that Lawrence had broken into his cabin without his permission… but it was a matter of time.
“She’s not bad.”
Madeline scoffed.
“Wow, thanks. Means a lot.”
“And what are you doing in my bedroom?” Xavier asked the both of them.
Madeline and Lawrence exchanged glances. Madeline wondered if it was best she told him because it wasn’t anything like what it seemed like.
Xavier glanced back and forth between the two of them.
“Is there something you need to tell me?”
“I think it’s better if you hear it from Lawrence. You know, your brother.”
Lawrence laughed nervously, nudging Madeline in the rib. He knew what it looked like, Xavier’s bed was untidy too, so that didn’t help matters.
Madeline knew it too, and she couldn’t believe it. How did she get herself into this situation?
“Let’s move down to the living room,” Madeline suggested, to which both Lawrence and Xavier agreed.
“So, now is someone going to tell me what’s going on?” Xavier inquired, getting impatient.
He didn’t like being left in the dark. Had Madeline slept with Lawrence thinking Lawrence was him?
A knock sounded on the door, before whoever was at the door realised it was left open. Seemed like Xavier had forgotten to lock the door when he rushed upstairs to see who Madeline was talking to.
“Xavier?” Adrian questioned, looking for Xavier to find Madeline, Xavier and Lawrence in the living room.
His eyes widened, and he dropped whatever he was holding from pure shock.
“What the f–”
