Chapter 83
Giving me onest look, Raizel looks over to Williams who said nothing from the whole exchange. I
know deep down inside, he had questions and was more than likely to bombard me with them and
tease me to no end. I was just thankful he decided to hold it in, in front of Raizel.
“Are you joining us for breakfast?”
Williams asks, searching behind Raizel to seek Opal. Raizel parts his lips, ready to spring an answer
like he already considered it beforeing here when his gaze falls to my nearly empty te. A look of
slight displeasure crosses his face but he looks away before anyone can really notice.
“Actually, I don-”
“Opal, can you please bring me another te of pancakes?”
I say, looking at Opal. I feel his eyes burn into the side of my face and I willingly nce over to him.
Licking my bottom lip nervously, I breathed in.
“I’m really… hungry.”
I finish quietly. Opal nods, stepping outside to go to the kitchen but stops when another voice interjects.
“Make that two tes.”
Raizel looks at me and I see the start of a small smile tug on his lips.
“I’ll be having breakfast.”
So much for staying away.
I mock. I can barely contain myself from wanting him closer.
Wordlessly, Raizel makes his way to the seat opposite of mine. My wolf was whining, looking longingly
at the man who wasn’t ours. If only she could talk and exin to me why she felt so attached. Her
growing interest in him only served to egg me on and stake my im. Knowing that that wasn’t the
greatest idea, I resort to keeping my face as impassive as possible. The least I can do is try to keep
myself in check.
Hounding my eyes away from him, it wasn’t long until Opal came back with two tes of pancakes in
hand. She was closer to him so naturally, she handed him his te first which he then passed over toOriginal from N?velDrama.Org.
me. I looked at him with both eyebrows raised, cautiously staring at the te still in his hand. before
looking at him. Was there something inside it? Did he want the bigger pancakes? Was it not to his
liking?
“Ladies first.”
He exins, amused at my indecisiveness. I feel myself get hot from overthinking. Of course I would
overlook the one suitable reason he was handing me the te. Panic was something I never worked
well with. Gratefully epting it, I mutter a soft thanks’ and stare at the te nkly.
I wasn’t hungry.
I had already eaten a te of pancakes and eggs. I had instinctively asked for more only because I
was hoping a certain person would stay behind. I took a peek at Raizel who had already cut into his
pancakes and had the fork in his mouth. His tongue poking out between his lips as he swiped down the
opening.
Or at least, I wasn’t hungry for pancakes.
Elizabeth who had gone quiet shot me a knowing look. A small, teasing smile on her face as she
wiped her mouth with the napkin. The familiar glint in her gaze matching the one her mate had.
“Alpha Locksworth, we were just talking about the G this week. It’s quite special this year. A lot more
is nned. Are you going to attend?”
Raizel who had his ss cup of water raised to his lips, looked at her before setting the cup down.
Clenching his jaw in deep thought, he shook his head.
“No, I have no reason in attending.”
Elizabeth nodded slow and deliberately. She sighed, ignoring the look Williams was giving her as she
then cut into her eggs. A moment of silence passes by us before she speaks again.
“That’s unfortunate. Selene here was going to make her official debut, I was hoping she’d have a
familiar face around to lessen her nerves.”
Nerves?
What nerves?
I stare at her in confusion of what the hell she was going on about when Raizel’s gaze cut to me. He
stared at me with an unreadable expression on his face as he battled some internal conflict. With a look
of intrigue, he looked at me and tilted his head to the side.
“You’re attending this year?”
He sounds almost surprised. I nod, looking at Williams and Elizabeth before putting my answer into
words.
“Yes. I am.”
Something shes in his eyes and he nods. More to himself than to me.
“Yes, this is her first real appearance in the Alpha world. I do hope you meet many wonderful Alphas,
Selene. More preferably single and avable ones. I’m sure with that dress, you’ll be catching more
than just a few eyes that night. The men better make sure not to trip over themselves trying to impress
you.”
Dress?
What dress?
I haven’t shown anyone my gown. It was a simple silk blue, strapless gown that covered me modestly.
Nothing too extravagant or eye-catching. But with the way Elizabeth was talking, she made it seem like
I was wearing something scandalously seductive. Like preying on avable men was my purpose in
attending the G.
I open my mouth to ask her but she continues,pletely cutting me off before I even have the chance
to refute.
