Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- Flashback Continue Flashback Continioue:- "Since you already know more about me than all the people I'm forced to spend my days with, I guess it's just fair that I get to know what you're in here for." Sam questioned , deciding it was for the best to have someone talk if it meant he could distract himself from his own thoughts. "Anxiety and her two siblings : panic syndrome and insomnia" Monika answered dismissively , grinning as she watched the boy scrunch his nose in confusion.

"You know, the typical sweaty - vomiting - freaking - the-fuck-out whenever you get slightly frustrated about something -or anything, really-and then you can't bring yourself to sleep because you can't get your stupid body to chill nor your brain to shut the fuck up for a millisecond, so 40 hours later and enough caffeine to murder an elephant, your body kind of just gives up and you end up...

well, here, if you're lucky, it didn't give up for good." Monika finished in one breath, as if he'd been told this same history every day for the past 10 years straight, apathetic and nonchalant, before clarifying with a shrug. "In short, I'm a massive drama queen who overreacts to the universe and can't keep my shit together. ---- Cute," Sam mocked, waggling his eyebrows as a unique fucked -in-the-head-bros-who-overshare-in -the-middle -of-the-night hail of recognition .

"For how long have you been here? "Three days. I'm getting out of emergency tomorrow and heading to the therapy ward, though." "Oh. So they won't, like, let you leave? Sam inquired, his curiosity perking up now that he's also left to wonder if they won't allow her to leave soon. "No way. If they do so, then we'll just be back here in no time, and all of their efforts -you can also read taxes and money-are going to waste." Monika explained , sighing heavily.

Sam wasn't dense; he'd heard all about how these places work and whatnot , but still hearing it from Monika gave him a confirmation he wasn't quite ready to receive. "Is it your first time here?" "Third. Also, hopefully the last. The other answered , proceeding to close her book and turn the lights off." Better go to sleep, Sam. Tomorrow is going to bea long ass day, she said, already giving him her back.

Sam stared at the dark ceiling for a little while, basking in the silence, before his world turned black again. TIME SKIP "T honestly don't get it," Monika said while blowing a ---- thin cloud of smoke from her lips into the warm night sky of the city.

" I mean, of course it's not something anyone could simply understand; otherwise it wouldn't be called a disorder," she added witha shrug, eyes trained over the other, who was lying sprawled on the floor with his head over his lap in an act of intimacy that has become casual to them by now. "Anyway, you got my point." "Yeah, I get it." Sam agreed lazily, eyes shut, fingers tapping away to the beat of a song they could hear from somewhere far away, savoring the warmth of Monika's company.

By Sam's 15th day at the clinic , he had managed to build a tight friendship with his former roommate , despite the latter being indeed discharged from the emergency room into the therapy ward the following day from his arrival, which left him all alone for the reminiscent seven days of intensive care he still had left until he was finally ready to be transferred to the therapy ward as well, where he found Monika welcoming him with a friendly smile and a protein bar in hands.

The fact that the girl stood there silently encouraging him into finishing it was already an indication that he had found himself a friend. Only three days after Sam got admitted to the hospital, the staff was able to finally get in touch with his grandfather, who was widely known for his wealth, and therefore no one had the guts to kick the ---- kid out until then.

Upon hearing about his grandson's condition, the man only sighed heavily through the phone before emotionlessly adding, "My secretary will be contacting you about the expenses. Just do whatever seems fit," he said, hanging up right after, not even bothering to ask about his grandson's well-being or the state of his current health or future concerns.

For whatever it was worth, Sam also never spelled a word about his so-called grandfather , whose checks kept coming in religiously every Friday , although there were no attempts at contact from either part. His brother comes and checks on him as often as he can.

Monika was the only one to whom Sam opened up, telling her all about how his mother left their home earlier when he was around seven, moved to England with an affair, would send him expensive gifts on his birthday and Christmas , but never really mentioned anything about coming to visit him or inviting him to meet the new family, which he only learned existed through an Instagram picture.

It turned out his mom gave birth to two healthy girls, identical twins, who should be around 5 years old now. As far as his father goes, other than with his wallet, he's never really been much into the picture -maybe due to being too busy working and screwing his associate's wives over their backs, which was the very reason his mother got fed up and left. At first, the
