Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 36: Another Problem

"So, how serious is this crush which you have on me?" Xander asked, tone blunt and direct.

I choked on the mouthful of drink I had in my throat while I felt color flood my cheeks.

Xander and I have been seated at the table for over ten minutes and neither of us had broken the silence until right now.

I had known that he was blunt and cold, Taylor had given me a rundown of his personality, but it had still shocked me to the core to witness said bluntness right now.

I slowly cleared my throat while trying to move past my embarrassment.

"What?" I whispered and I watched as he scoffed before gulping down his drink.

"That’s the reason why we’re right here, isn’t it? Because you have a crush on me." He continued and I cleared my throat, remembering that Taylor had informed him that I had a crush on him.

"Oh, yeah..." I ended up mumbling, cheeks ablaze. I was unable to meet his eyes so I stared straight at my drink.

"So, answer my question then." He continued, voice grating on boredom once again.

I swallowed emptily before slowly nodding my head.

"Uh, yeah, it’s just a regular c- crush, like a serious o- one." I ended up muttering in response.

A small string of silence stretched out between us before he let out a low scoff, causing my gaze to dart towards him.

"So, you wanna get into my bed, that’s it, right?" He continued, with his hands folded around his middle.

I found myself spluttering almost immediately.

"Huh?" I ended up whispering and he snorted this time.

"Well, that’s the point of this entire thing, isn’t it? It’s because you want to get into my bed like so many others, right?" He paused for a moment before leaning forward.

Or perhaps, you’re one of those delusional ones who thinks he can make me fall in love with them? The ones who believe they can make me want to connect with them emotionally? The ones who believe I’d end up wanting a relationship with them? Are you one of them?"

As he spoke, my mouth fell open in shock, not just because of his bluntness, but also because unknowingly, he had revealed my actual reason for trying to get his attention from the start.

I ended up shaking my head frantically and he scoffed before giving a firm nod of his head.

"Good," He breathed out then he picked up his drink and former the rest of the content.

"So, all you want is to get into my bed? Is that what you’re saying?" He asked and I slowly nodded my head.

"That’s hard to believe because no omega has ever wanted only that. Omegas are greedy, they always want more, they always want it all."

Distaste filled my insides as he spoke and I felt annoyed on behalf of actual omegas but I kept my face blank as I shook my head while hastily racking my brain for a response.

"I might want a little more... but it won’t be too much because I’m not greedy." I ended up responding.

What I wanted to say was that I couldn’t care less about him and that I’m only interested in getting useful information from him, but I refrained from doing that because I needed to play my cards right. It was clear that if I wanted to get close to him, I needed him to believe that I had a crush on him and wanted to get into his bed.

"There won’t be more to get from me, aside from my large cock." He drawled out, a sickening confidence in his voice which grated on my nerves.

I still couldn’t keep the colors from my cheeks even if I wanted to, and on noticing, Xander let out a low laugh as he sized me up.

"Wait... don’t tell me you’re a virgin?" He breathed out around another laugh and even as I felt my heart sink into my stomach, more color flood into my cheeks.

"I’m not." I argued while trying to appear unbothered and confident. Although, it didn’t seem like Xander was buying it.

He peered at me even more before speaking. "You’re the new kid, aren’t you?" He asked, curiously tinging his voice and I gulped emptily before reluctantly nodding my head.

"Oh, yeah?" He drawled out and then he leaned back into his seat.

"Oh I’ve just gotten more intrigued right now."

The hallways were quiet.

I had my hands shoved deep into my pockets, the large hoodie I had on was swallowing me up in a way that made me feel significantly safer right here in the open, where danger could befall me at any moment.

Because Elio and I studied until evening time in the library, I exited school quite late. The clouds were already darkened and I cursed myself in my mind over the fact that I completely lost track of time.

I rounded a left corner when I came to an instant drop on coming across a scene that made my knees buckle.My mouth opened and closed and I tried to slow my racing heartbeat while my knees buckled once again.

Blaze had someone pinned against a wall.

It wasn’t anything lewd or obscene.

Blaze had a hand tightly wrapped around the person’s throat. The person’s legs were dangling in the air and blood was on Blaze’s free knuckles.

I blinked once, unable to comprehend what I had come across right now.

Blaze’s captive was wheezing and kicking his feet, blood dripped from his nose and busted lips. When Blaze dropped him, I flinched at the sound his body made as it collided with the ground.

The person let out a shaky, wheezing sound before hurriedly crawling away, leaving me in Blaze’s presence.

Panic swelled in my chest at once and my hands shook even more. My eyes darted around in fright but before I could even contemplate on running in the opposite direction, Blaze was closing the distance between us.

His dark eyes gleamed as he stared down at me.

"Hello, bunny."
