Chapter 4
As if sensing my gaze, Landon looked in my direction and locked eyes with me. His hard, steely gaze
giving nothing away as Hestia looked over him to find me. Not being able to stomach how perfect they
look together, I turned away and focused my eyes on the ground. We walked up the steps of the porch,
my father opening the door for me while I walked in awkwardly. This was the first time I ever stepped
inside the Alpha’s home. Alpha Harrison never really permitted anyone outside his family or high ranks
inside. Seeing as the Alpha and Luna loved Hestia like a daughter and that she was Landon’s best
friend, she had been here countless times before.
“Go up the stairs and make a right. You’ll see the Alpha’s office. Go in, sit down and don’t move until he
comes in.”
I was about to ask him about the whole “Alpha” title, but he never gave me a chance to ask when he
abruptly turned on his heel and walked back out.
I swallowed nervously, craning my head to the wooden stairs before approaching it like it was made out
of fire. The creaking under my feet each step I took did nothing to calm my nerves. I was scared
shitless.
Once I reached the top of the stairs, I looked to the right and saw that the first door there led to the
Alpha’s office. If the golden namete reading “ALPHA HARRISON” wasn’t an obvious indicator then
therge, Nightwake Pack symbol of an arrow shooting through the crescent moon in ck ink on the
top half of the door just below the namete, was.
I walked toward it, raised my knuckles to the wood and knocked on the door. A few seconds. went by
and I didn’t get a response. I didn’t really expect to seeing as the Alpha was apparently away for
business, but I couldn’t help but feel my heart beating out of my chest. I decided to wait a few more
seconds before warily turning the doorknob and pulling it open. I stuck my head in.
Empty.
Furnished with arge mahogany table dead set in the center with a ck leather executive chair, the
room was quite spacious but at the same time, bare. Just a few feet from the Alpha’s desk was a coffee
table with four ck singr club chairs; two on each opposite side. I chewed on my lip.
A few photos were hung on the walls.
I walked by them, taking my time to observe each captured moment.
The first one I saw was of a younger version of Alpha Harrison and Luna Allison standing beside one
another with smiles stretched across their faces. Luna Allison had her hands full with a baby Landon no
older than a few months showcasing a head full of chocte brown curls and his vibrant green eyes
with a toothy grin stered on his face.
I felt a small smile curl at my lips at the sight.
I walked further in, seeing Landon’s milestones framed on the walls. It was all disyed from his first
birthday to graduating high school. The smile that stuck on my face fell a little when I saw the most
recent additions.

Landon stood behind Hestia with an arm around her shoulders. He had a warm smile on his face
mirroring the same expression Hestia had. Alpha Harrison and Luna Allison stood beside them looking
just as content. I could barely remember when this was taken. If I had to guess, it was probablyst
year around the same time of the annual G. Alpha’s were expected to bring along their mate’s and
children at the event. Naturally, the Alpha’s children were permitted to bring their own mates.
Landon had asked Hestia to go with him to which she agreed.
I still remember how happy Hestia was. The moment she stepped foot at home, she started frea king
out about what to wear and how she was so excited. It was only then that I truly realized just how deep
her affection was for him. I was a bit worried, seeing as what the significance of bringing her along to
the G meant, but nothing in their rtionship seemed to change, so I passed it off as just a tonic
outing. Probably so he wouldn’t be bored the entire night.
Now however, I see how wrong I was.
“Selene.”
I whipped my head around, instantly locking eyes
with
green
hues.
I felt the air get knocked out of me just from seeing him stand there. In all his glory, he stood tall with
his lean, slightly built body tense from emotion. I straightened up. As awkward and hor rible as I felt
right now, I knew it was better to at least try to act somewhatposed instead of acting like a
blubbering fo ol.
“We need to talk.”
I could only nod. All sorts of thoughts ran through my mind but not one included the possible chance of
rejection. Landon suc ked in a heavy breath, moving to the side of the door to which Hestia, my mother
and father emerged from. My eyes widened. I
immediately sought after Landon’s gaze to silently question him but his focus was on Hestia who
slipped her hand in his as she stared at me guiltily. She bit her bottom lip, eyes staring hard into the
floor.
