Help! the four Alpha's are obsessed with me.-Chapter 126 Gun training..
Letting out a maddening grin, Alexander scoffed. ππ£πππ°πππ§πΌπππ.π°π¨π¦
"You missed..." he said, stepping forward as he brushed a cobweb off Danielβs hair. Nearing over his shoulder, he gripped the back of his neck firmly.
"Distracted, Daniel? I wonder whatβs stealing your attention this time. Is it Xylanderβs escapades or Dravenβs situation? Whatever it is, if I were your enemy, youβd have lost your head by now," Alex thundered, snatching the gun from Danielβs trembling hands.
Daniel shuddered slightly at the touch of Alexβs embrace. He watched as Alex lifted the gun, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger. The bullet slammed dead center into the bullseye.
"Show off," Daniel muttered, irritation rising in his voice. Maybe he wasnβt that interested in shooting after all. He turned on his heels to leave, but before he could take another step, Alexβs iron grip caught his arm.
"And where do you think youβre running off to this noon?" Alex asked, one brow arched.
Daniel stayed silent, tugging against his hold.
"Being weak again, Daniel?" Alex taunted, his voice turning cold. "Or are they rightβthat male omegas are just soft, rotten pussies that should be burned alive?"
The words struck deep. Danielβs eyes darkened as anger surged through him. He yanked the gun from Alexβs hands, face twitching with emotion.
"Why, Alex... youβre just being mean," Daniel said, his voice strained and cracking.
Alex only shrugged, calm as ever. Danielβs jaw tightened. He loaded a bullet, raised the gun, and firedβhis rage boiling over.
Bang!
The bullet tore through the bullseye, then through the wall behind it, leaving a smoking hole in the spot.
Alexβs lips curved into a smirk. "You see? Perfect. Thatβs it. Show them youβre no pussyβyouβre my Daniel Lancaster." He patted Danielβs hair lightly. "I knew youβd hesitate, so I had to push you. Donβt take it to heart."
Daniel stood frozen, staring at the wall in disbelief. His body trembled as the reality hit him. He could have killed Alexβjust like thatβin a moment of blind rage.
"I could have killed you, Alex! That was careless of you, putting yourself in that position," Daniel scolded, his voice sharp.
Alex only stepped closer, cupping Danielβs chin gently.
"That wonβt happen, dear," he said softly. "I know how cruel the world is. Iβm preparing you for the worstβbecause one day, none of us might be there for you. Your survival may depend only on yourself. I pray that day never comes, but still... you must be ready."
His fingers brushed through Danielβs curls, tucking one behind his ear.
"Now," Alex said with a small smile, "happy birthday in advance, Daniel Lancaster."
Daniel blinked, surprised. Their gazes locked for several long seconds, an unspoken warmth passing between them.
"You knew? How? Youβre so well-versed about me, and yet I barely know your background. Thatβs not fair, Alexβwhy?" Daniel asked, half teasing, half curious.
Alex drew him into a gentle embrace, pressing Danielβs body against his chest.
"The day youβll know will come, but not now. Iβll surprise you soon," he whispered. "And I know you love Xylander so muchβitβs written all over you. Donβt worry. My men are already watching Draven, trying to find out whatβs behind his strange behavior. Everythingβs covered. Nothing will happen to us while Iβm here. Never."
By the time Alex finished talking, their faces were dangerously closeβbreaths mingling, noses almost brushing. The tension thickened, charged with heat and hesitation.
Alex leaned in teasingly, lips almost grazing Danielβs, but Daniel froze.
"This isnβt right," he murmured, stepping back. "Not when others arenβt here... and when my husband is suffering. I canβt."
Daniel turned away, shoving his hands into his pockets as he tried to leave the suffocating, dust-filled room. But before he could, Alexβs hand shot out and pulled him back with a swift tug. Daniel spun around, falling into Alexβs strong arms. Alexβs hands slid around his waist, holding him tight.
For a moment, everything stopped. Daniel stared into Alexanderβs electric-blue eyes, feeling the pull again.
"Alex... we have to pack our bags, remember? This isnβt the right time," Daniel whispered, his voice low, breathless.
He didnβt even recognize himself anymore. When did I become this? he wondered. A man once cold to love, now tangled in emotions with three different men.
"We have till tomorrow," Alex said, his tone low and seductive. "And as you once saidβfuck the world. Let me have you... just for a minute."
His voice was demanding, temptingβand Daniel gave in. He leaned in and pressed his lips to Alexβs.
Their mouths moved roughly against each other, hungry, desperate. Alexβs hands roamed Danielβs body, sliding down to his hips and then lowerβuntil Daniel suddenly snapped out of it.
"Enough!" he yelled, pushing Alex away.
Alex froze.
Seconds passed before Danielβs face softened into a small, teasing smile.
"Thanks for everything, Alex. But Iβm leaving now. And next time you drag me into a cobweb-filled room just to kiss me, I swear youβll regret it," Daniel warned, walking out with a playful strut.

Meanwhile, Xylander was still deep in grief, sitting alone in his room. Two portraits rested in his handsβone of his parents, Maxine, and his late sister; the other of himself and a young boy with blonde hair.
"Tell me this isnβt you, Daniel. You werenβt in that singing competition... please, it shouldnβt be you," Xylander whispered, fear creeping into his voice.
The thought terrified him. He had confessed to Danielβbut still, dark secrets lingered in his closet. The number one being that boy in the portrait.
What if it was Daniel?
And what if the night of that terrible accidentβthe person involvedβwas Daniel too? If that was true, then his mother had done something terrible.
The door creaked open. Alexander stepped inside and caught the worried look on Xylanderβs face.
"Havenβt you said enough? Are you still afraid?" Alex asked, puzzled by his expression.
"Itβs not that," Xylander said shakily. "I feel like Ericβmy childhood friendβis Daniel now. I can feel it, Alex. Itβs in my bones. Thatβs what scares me the most. What if itβs him?"
Alexanderβs jaw tightened. He snapped his fingers in frustration.
"Enough with these pity thoughts. Daniel is not Eric. Eric had a terrible accidentβhe died that night. Daniel is your groom now, not your ghost from the past. Donβt say that again."
Xylander nodded slowly, though his heart refused to calm.
Alexander reached for the portrait in his handsβthe one with the little boy.
"You wonβt be seeing this again, Xylander," Alex said firmly. "Itβll only cause trouble. I canβt let this ruin what you and Daniel have. Iβm discarding it."
"Donβt!" Xylander said sharply. "Thatβs my treasure. Leave itβIβll take care of it myself."
But Alexβs expression didnβt waver.
"One day, this portrait will bring you trouble. If anyone sees it, itβs over for you. And we donβt want thatβright now," Alex warned, leaning against the table.
Xylander hesitated, running his hand through his hair in frustration. Finally, he exhaled deeply.
"Fine. Take it. Do whatever you want," he said.
Alex nodded, took the picture, and walked out silently.
As soon as he was gone, Xylander clenched his fists, anger seething beneath his calm face.
"Adrian and Matteo Valez..." he muttered under his breath. "I will butcher you both. Just wait."

Also, Daniel came up with a plan. Why not call Norman and Thomas over? They could have a drink, share some laughter before he left the next day. The thought sounded comforting, even blissful, so he jumped on it.
But as he headed down the stairs, a sharp pain tore through his lower stomach.
"What the..." he gasped.
He tried to take another step, but the pain struck againβharder this timeβmaking him stumble and scream.
"Haaaaa! My stomach!"
Daniel fell to the floor. His head struck the wall, leaving a bleeding gash on his forehead.
Hearing the scream, Xylander rushed out, his face draining of color when he saw Daniel collapsed and bleeding.
"Alex! Alex, where are you?!" he yelled, lifting Daniel into his arms. He carried him bridal-style, rushing down the hall, until he collided with Alex.
"Daniel needs helpβnow!" Xylander cried out.
Hearing that, Alexβs expression hardened. He sprinted to the car, jumped in, and turned the key with a furious twist.
"Get inβfast!"
They both climbed in, and within seconds, Alex drove out at full speed.
"Hurry, Alexβheβs burning up!" Xylander said, voice trembling.
But as the car sped down the road, a heavy truck appeared behind themβits headlights blinding, its engine roaring.
Unaware of the danger closing in, Alexander kept his foot on the gas. The truck drew closer and closer.....
