Chapter 7

Esme's POV

As soon as I arrived at the door of the Alpha's room, I took a deep breath before knocking on it. Probably thinking that it would be Rachel, he told me to come in.

I went into the room and closed the door behind me but as soon as I turned around to face him, I was welcomed by a frown.

"What are you doing here?" He asked without mincing words.

I summoned up the courage to speak.

"Rachel said she wasn't feeling too well so I decided to save her some stress by bringing your food." I concocted.

He glared at me for some time before looking away, silently giving his consent for me to continue.

I carefully moved towards him and placed the food on the table, managing to keep my hands from shaking while I served him.

"Keep it together Esme, you can do this." Solar kept cheering me on.

I finished serving his food and moved to the side, wanting to watch him eat.

"What are you still doing here?" He asked without looking at me.

"I…. I'd like to watch you eat." I answered.

"Why is that?"
