Did you get something bigst night?” Daphne chuckles, plopping beside me on the bench in the
yard.
I tighten my hold around the mug in my hands and pull my knees closer to my chest. I did have
more than something bigst night. Alex and I had sex, he told me the rejection didn’t work and
washed me gently before slipping into the bed with me. He held me the whole night while I slept and

this dream will be over soon and I will get hurt again.
What do I do? “I sigh.
About what?” Daphne follows my line of sight and looks at A who is ying with blocks.
Serafina’s son is trying to y with her, but my Baby doesn’t seem to be in the mood for that. She
wants her Daddy. I can tell. She refused to let him leave earlier. He had to promise an ice cream

Alex wants
to love him.”I reveal.
*Alex? So you have a nickname for him now?” She gasps yfully.
“Daphne. “I ce my chin over my knee. “Please. I am not in the mood to joke.”
Is it that serious?” Her voice bes rigid right away.
He literally asked me to love him and not Theo. He wants me to get to know him and spend time
with him. At first, I thought he was overemotional because of what happened in the recent days, but
—I don’t know anymore. What if he is really serious and won’t go back on his words? Or what if his
enthusiasm is only temporary and he will go back on his words? *I whisper, unable to make sense
of this mess.
You are overthinking things again, La. She leans in and grabs my hand to squeeze it.
You don’t know what it’s like, D. You don’t know what it feels like to be rejected by others. You don’t
know what it’s like to be without a wolf. I am a lesser woman than any other in our world. I am not a
human, and I am not a werewolf. I am just somewhere in between and Alexander has told me this
repeatedly. How do I trust him? And how do I stop trying to choose the safe side that Theo is for
me? He is the only one who didn’t hate me for what I am. “I blurt, my voice lowering with each word
I love Alex. That realization is still haunting me. I don’t want to love him. I want to love Theo,”
But that sounds like a joke to me. Why can’t I just choose the man I want to love? Why does my
heart have toplicate all these things!
La. “Daphne hisses. You are not like that! You are the strongest bad b i t ch I know. And you are
just ate bloomer. You will get your wolf one day. I am f u c i n g sure of that.
No, D. There is n
no wolf for me.” I shake my head.

mug.
“He is jealous, b i c h!” She scoff’s, folding her arms over her chest.” He is jealous and mad about
you. Can’t you see the way he looks at you?”
“How does he look at me?” I ask curiously, his eyes shing in my mind and making me shudder.
“He looks at you like he wants to kick everyone away and have a steamy f u c k session with you
and like he wants to kiss you until you forget the world and be his. He looks at you like he
can’t bear the thought of being away from you or like he can’t get enough of you. “Daphne sighs

My heart flutters. I shake my head, denying he ever looks at me like that.” Daphne-
Alpha is home. She announces before we continue the talk about him.
“Is heing here? “I ask, knowing she can hear and smell him due to her sharp werewolf senses.
“Where else do you think he will go?” She grins at me before Alex appears in the doorway behind
her.
He scans the area, his gaze lingering on A who is ying. Of course, he is here for her. I inhale a
deep breath and it gets stuck in my throat when he snaps his head in my direction.
In two long strides, he is looming over my head and looking at me. I blink, craning my neck to meet
his gaze.
He cups my cheek in his big palm and leans down. His lips press into mine, leaving a chaste kiss.
My eyes widen as he draws his head back and caresses my cheek with his thumb.
“I didn’t get the time to talk much in the morning. I wanted to ask-Are you alright?” His deep voice
resonates all inside
me.
I nod silently, my heart betraying the cause of staying detached from him.
“Are you sure you are not sore?” He whispers, peering into my eyes.
I almost choke on my breath as my gaze is drawn to Daphne who is giving me a dirty, wicked look.
He didn’t just say that in front of her, right?
Tell me if anything hurts. I will take care of it. “Ilis soft eyes steal the breath out of my lungs.
Yeah, La. You must tell Alpha if it hurts anywhere. ” Daphne teases.
I
“N-Nothing hurts. 1 am–I am fine.” I lick my lips that subtly taste like him.
“Good. Go get ready then. We are going out. ” Alex demands.
I thought you were only taking A out. “I mumble, staring into his eyes.
You shouldn’t think so much.” He smiles and kisses my lips again.

I inhale his musky scent and shudder. The sparks were always there. I should have known the
rejection didn’t work.
Get ready. You have ten minutes. “Alex groans and pulls away.
“Daddy!” A yells when she notices his presence before I hear her running footsteps.
My Princess.” He grumbles, bending down to pick her up in his arms.
My dazed eyes meet Daphne who is grinning at me sinugly. My heartbeat skyrockets as I process
everything. He kissed me in the open, not one but two times, and proceeded to mess with me by
talking so gently.
*Told you. He has fallen for you. “Daphne mouthes.
A shiver racks my back. This only makes things worse.
