Alle Kapitel von Loathed by the Alpha: Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

I sat on the edge of my bed, going over various breathing exercises in an attempt to calm down. Liam will be here soon. It's rare for me nervous to the point where my entire body trembled. After Aiden left the cabin, I had nothing to do but pick up after him, wash the leftover plates and bowls.     As I was going to pack, I found myself tucking the navy blue coat around my body, something that Zain had gifted me a while ago. I didn't have the desire to throw it in the garbage because it's my favourite piece of clothing. It's long, with a substantial black button and flowed behind me as I walked. The material was thin, hugging my curvy body, but it kept me warm nonetheless.    I had no idea how long I sat there, letting myself be soothed by the light chirping of the birds outside the window. Just then, I heard heels fr

As I stepped into the kitchen, the polished wood underneath my feet was reassuring, allowing my thoughts to be taken off the ice-slippery cement outside. Looking around,  a condensed dew left my lips, spilling into the air and fading into nothingness. Everything was squeaky clean, courtesy of the housekeeper—Beth.     The kitchen was huge, like a party hall with a four-chair dining table set in the corner. Indeed those chairs were used by omegas to sit and chop and clean the vegetables. My eyes gleamed at the matching cabinets, latest stovetop and built-in oven.     Everything was rightfully in its place and stocked fully. Maybe they already expected the snowstorm and filled the ration. My Alpha said so earlier that we should do the same in our cabin.&

My teeth dug into the bottom lip, enough to taste blood in my mouth. I couldn't believe that Ria pushed me aside to get the shot herself. More than that, colour bloomed in my cheeks at the Alphas condition. I was the reason he couldn't breathe, gasping for air while his face turned red.    Just then, it clicked on me—saltwater. In our pack, the method was used on pups to make the person vomit anything poisonous he/she might have swallowed. Hurriedly I rushed to the kitchen and poured a lot of salt in one glass, and added water to it.    Rushing back, I noticed that the living room got crowded but still no sight of Ria. That meant she did not find the shot yet. Instead of letting Aiden sit in pain, I thought the saltwater trick could be helpful. 

Blinking at the Alpha hovering above me, my mouth twisted. What did he want now? Waking up, I felt my nose stuffy, and my eyes kept watering. As much as I wanted to throw a giant tantrum but held back.   "Your shivering is annoying me. Could you stop it?" Aiden huffed.     My lips parted open at that. Yeah, well, if the cold could automatically stop, then maybe I would stop shivering. Not my fault that omegas don't have freak powers and high cold tolerance. Standing up on my feet, I immediately felt the room spin but managed to blink against it. The last thing I would do was show my weakness to him.    "I am sorry I can't control my body reactions."   He looked taken back by my sudden response, not used to me talking back. Th

The rest of the day was spent in the cabin, with Aiden making himself scarce. He came around lunchtime and made food before I could stop him. As the Alpha left for this room again, I noticed that a whole grilled sandwich was resting atop the kitchen counter.     Silently, I picked the plate and ate the sandwich, trying not to smile. My teeth kept chattering at the blinding cold outside, fog tinting the windows and making it impossible to see anything clearly. That meant we had no other means to spend our time but hole up in the cabin all alone.    I could hear the sound of hammering, banging followed by drilling. Aiden must be working on something which I didn't question him. The Alpha always kept to himself anyway.
