Betrothed To The Alpha CHAPTER TEN
Awakening in the late afternoon, I find myself bathed in the soft, golden light filtering through the curtains. I reach out for Alex, expecting to feel his warmth beside me, but my hand meets empty air. Opening my eyes, I sit up and scan the room, my heart sinking as I realize he's gone. There's no trace of him, not even a lingering scent. I run my hand through my hair with a sigh, a pang of hurt gnawing at me despite my efforts to brush it aside. After all, I know we are mates, but not a couple.Throwing the covers off my body, I make my way to the bathroom, eager to freshen up before I leave. With each step, I feel an ache between my legs, and a blush creeps up my cheeks as memories of this morning flood my mind. Alex had surprised me with his skills. I hadn't anticipated his roughness, nor did I expect to enjoy it as much as I did. But in that moment of shared intimacy, I discovered a new aspect of myself, a side that craved the intensity and passion he offered. With Alex, it seems

“You thought this is what I wanted?” Alex barks, his voice slicing through the tense silence like a blade.“Yes. I tried to tell you the dress wasn’t appropriate, but you threatened to come in and put it on for me, so I had to wear it,” I explain, hoping that he sees I didn’t choose this dress on purpose.Alex releases a dark chuckle that sends shivers down my spine before he speaks again. “So, you're telling me my pack arranged for you to wear this fucking excuse of a dress?” His voice takes on a different tone, filled with a mix of frustration and curiosity.I nod, too frightened to utter a word, my heart pounding in my chest as I navigate the unpredictable shifts in his demeanor."Maybe the clerk made a mistake. I don’t know," I add after a pregnant pause, hoping to diffuse the tension. Alex lifts a brow, tilting his head slightly as he stares at me intently. I nod once again, silently pleading for him to believe me and let me go. As much as I enjoy our closeness, his shifting mood

ALEX“Stay here,” I instruct Haisley before stepping out to meet the person who knocked.“I’m so sorry, sir. I just realized we asked Miss Haisley to go into the wrong dressing room,” the clerk explains apologetically.“What do you mean?” I ask, feeling confused.“Miss Haisley’s dress is actually in fitting room 5, not 1,” she clarifies.“Oh,” I respond, understanding the situation. Does that mean I was wrong in my assumption?“Yes, you were,” Eden interjects in my mind. “The poor girl was innocent, and you punished her.”“Getting face-fucked isn’t really a punishment, in my defense,” I retort.“Because she was trembling with need?” Eden counters, his tone tinged with sarcasm.“Yes,” I admit.Eden rolls his eyes in response.“What do you think about her?” I ask, changing the subject.“I feel the connection, but it was a lot to take after just losing one mate,” Eden responds.“Same way I feel,” I agree.“I doubt. Your dick has been in her pussy and mouth in the last hours,” Eden counte

My hand trembles slightly, the grip on my fork loosening as I digest Luna Marley's words. I had always imagined if I ever moved out of the pack house and get myself place in the human world, I would be on my own, not with a husband. I am not saying I wasn’t expecting I would move in with Alex, but not before we get married. "I know it might be a lot, but we thought to give you guys a real chance to know one another before you get married," Luna Marley explains, her words pulling me from my thoughts. "I see," I murmur, offering her a tight-lipped smile as I turn my gaze towards Alex once more. I expect him to object, but he remains silent, his attention fixed on his plate as though everything is alright. Releasing a deep sigh, I return my focus to my meal, the food suddenly tasting bland and unappetizing. I will speak to him later about talking to his parents. I am not ready to live with him yet. I have accepted to marry him but not live with him yet. I continue to eat in silence, m

The following morning, I make my way to M Corp, a company I've long dreamed of working for. Renowned as the most prestigious financial group on downtown Seattle, landing a job here would be a dream come true. As I approach the skyscraper that houses M Corp, I'm immediately struck by its grandeur. The towering structure looms overhead, its sleek glass facade reflecting the morning sunlight. The entrance is adorned with polished marble, and the revolving doors beckon me inside with a sense of anticipation. As I step through the entrance, I'm greeted by the hustle and bustle of the lobby, where professionals in sharp suits and bustling interns mingle amidst the impressive architecture. The atmosphere is charged with energy, and I can't help but feel a surge of excitement as I envision myself working in such a prestigious environment.I walk over to the receptionist and inquire which room the interview is holding. She directs me to the 10th floor, and I step out of the elevator once I rea

The car comes to a sudden halt, and I peer out the window, my eyes widening in surprise as I take in the imposing structure of The Rainier Square Tower Residences. What are we doing at one of the top apartment buildings in downtown Seattle?Before the marriage alliance altered the course of my life, I had dreams and aspirations. One of them involved moving into this very apartment complex in the future. I had meticulously crafted a ten-year plan, mapping out every step to climb the ladder of success and afford a place in this prestigious residence. I wonder what we were doing here.I spin around to ask Alex but notice him stepping out of the car. Confusion and curiosity swirl in my mind as I quickly follow him, my steps echoing in the quiet air of the luxurious building. As I catch up to him, I can't help but notice the scowl etched on his face as his eyes scan over me. Why is he looking at me like that?"What are we doing here?" I blurt out.He meets my gaze with an intense stare bef

ALEXI stride urgently into the hospital, my heart hammering in my chest as I race towards the emergency room. While at the penthouse, I got a text that she was in the hospital. Approaching a passing nurse, I inquire about Alice's whereabouts, and she directs me to bed five with a quick nod. With a sense of urgency propelling me forward, I hasten to her side.As I arrive, I see Alice seated on the bed, her expression strained despite the small bandage adorning her pinky. Something doesn’t add up; there must be more to her being here."Alice," I say softly, stepping closer to the bed, my voice laced with concern. "I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"Alice's gaze shifts from my brother to me, and tears brim in her eyes at the sight of me.“Alex,” she cries, her voice quivering with emotion as she reaches out her hand. I take it, and she pulls me into a tight embrace,

The sound of the bell snaps me out of my thoughts, and Bee grabs my hand, rushing us to class to avoid being late. As we enter, I notice everyone's eyes shifting towards me, their gazes filled with curiosity and whispers floating around the room. My brows furrow in confusion. Why are they all looking at me like that?Their hushed conversations reach my ears, their words cutting through the air despite their attempts at secrecy. "Did you see the photos?" one voice asks. "Yes, I did. I can’t believe she actually tried to force herself on Alex." another voice responds.The words hit me like a blow to the stomach, and I feel a surge of disbelief rising within me."I know, so shameless," the first girl continues, fueling the fire of gossip. "Did she really think he would go for a girl like her?" The disdain in their voices is palpable, and it stings."In her dreams," the other girl chimes in, her laughter ringing out in the classroom. By this time, tears I didn’t know were already in my
