Mated to Two Bad Boy Alphas

"Zane..." I whispered, my heart hammering in my chest. He walked towards me, his blue eyes dark with hunger. He'd never looked at me this way before... All these years, his gaze had held nothing but indifference for me. My back hit a bookshelf, knocking two books to the ground. I gasped as Zane closed the space between us, his eyes lowering to my lips. "Little Lia," he said huskily, resting his hands on either side of me, trapping me between his arms. I held my breath, staring up at him. Why was he treating me this way? Bullying me like his friends did? I'd thought he was different. "What do you want?" I muttered, trying to keep my voice steady. "I didn't do any—" "Shh," he cut me off, pressing a finger to my lips. The second his skin touched mine, tingles erupted throughout my body, making my brows pull together. "Don't be afraid of me. I won't hurt you." "What do you want, Zane?" I asked, turning my face away from him. His gaze was too intense. I felt like I was drowning. He curled a finger under my chin, forcing me to look at him again. His eyes seemed even darker now, almost like the sea. "I don’t like the way he looks at you, Lia." I swallowed, my throat going dry. "Who?" "Blake Walker," he spat, as though the name itself utterly disgusted him. "And I don’t like the way you're touching what's mine," another voice boomed through the silence, raw with anger. I managed to glance behind Zane, to find Blake standing a small distance away. His face was hard. Zane’s lips curled into a smirk, but he kept his gaze fixed on me. "Be careful what you say next, Walker." "Get away from her, Adams," Blake almost growled, his voice thick with warning. The air seemed to pulse with tension, and my heart threatened to jump out of my chest. "Or what? You gonna bark next?" Oh my God. I was about to become collateral damage in a fight between two crazy boys. - - - - Lia Snow is a simple, quiet nerd—the kind who gets targeted by the popular boys in school. Not to date, but to mess with. Ever since she was six, when she accidentally spilled orange juice on Zane Adams's clothes, his friends have been hell-bent on making her life miserable. No matter how hard she tries to keep her head down, they always seem to find her and unleash havoc upon her innocent existence. Until one day, a new boy arrives at school—one who seems to have eyes only for her. Blake Walker. As he shields her from anyone who tries to harm her, Lia's world is turned upside down. Because now, Zane too seems to want her for himself. To make it all worse? Lia could swear she heard both of them growl 'mine' on her sixteenth birthday.
