Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- Sam couldn't have described his relationship with Monika better than that. That was it. They never asked anything of each other. No demands, no expectations. They just love each other without any expectations ; their relationship is pure. "Who do you love the most?" "You." Monika smiled as she continued walking while balancing herself on the huge pipe lying on the roadside as Sam held her hand. Monika hears the crickets on the grass and giggles .

Sam, remember the time we captured crickets in that glass jar? "Shit! That was so gross." Sam laughs and says, "Yeah, why did we even do it?" Monika smiles and says, "I have done so many things with you that I would have probably never done on my own or with someone else." "Yeah, me too." Sam giggles. Monika remembers the time Sam sneaked a cigarette from his grandfather . They both met at their secret spot.

Sam agreed to do it only after making Monika swear that he would never smoke again and that it was just for trying it out. Just for the sake of experience. Both of them would take single puffs and ---- never take them again. Monika waited quite nervously as Sam lit the cigarette and handed it to her. Monika looked at him before she took it from his hand. She took a puff and started coughing. Sam laughed as he took the cigarette from her hand.

"It's so bad!" Monika said, making a disgusted face while Sam took a puff and started coughing himself. Monika laughed, looking at him. "Do you feel anything? "T don't know. Maybe a little lightheaded ." Monika said, scrunching her nose. "Yeah maybe..." Sam put out the cigarette on the wall and said, ''Never try doing it again, okay? Never." Sam said it firmly. "T won't. Promise me you won't either." Sam nodded. In her heart, Monika knows nothing will be the same again. It scares her.

"T don't want to grow up." Everything scares her. She knows Sam better than she has known herself, and Sam knows Monika better than he ever knew himself. A whole year at school without Sam when Sam joins some competition . He knows he would miss the bus rides with her every ---- morning and every afternoon. The bicycle rides, the bicycle races.

The sleepovers at each other's place Being at Monika's house while her brother complained about her and told her to be more like Sam, while the same thing happened when they went to Sam's place. While their respective brothers scolded them, all they did was muffle their laughs. As they always said to each other, Everyone has their own time to shine. He would miss the number of times they sneaked out at night and the couple of times they got caught.

Getting caught wasn't the fun part, but he knows that he would miss that too. Going on bike rides when the whole town is asleep, "I feel like the whole world is ours." "It is ours, Monika! We are the king and the queen of this whole world, and no one can tell us otherwise ." There is a feeble smile on Sam's face. "I don't want to grow up either." "Will we become the same stuck-up grownups we have always made fun of?" Sam shrugs: "Who knows? The thought scares me.

It scares me so much." "Tt scares me too." "I wish I could stay with you forever. Just here." Monika feels as if someone has put iron weights on her chest. "I want the whole world to fall asleep ---- forever, and then we would go around the world riding on our bikes." "We'll be the owners." "With nothing to rule over," Monika chuckles. "We don't want power. It is freedom we seek." "It is freedom we seek." Monika says as they both break into laughter.

In school, they have always been teased by their friends. Everyone has complained about how they forget about other people and completely ignore their surroundings when they are together. "What do you guys even talk about?" "That's none of your business." Sam retorted. "Why don't you guys just get married already?" "Why don't you try shutting the fuck up?" All this teasing never bothered Sam, and nothing ever bothered Monika apart from Sam.

Sam plays with the drawstrings of Monika's hooded t- shirt and says, "You know you can always call me." Monika looks away, not knowing what to say; the words feel so unfamiliar . She looks back and says, " Yeah, I guess." Call him? She used to visit his house at any time,
