บททั้งหมดของ Mated to the Rogue Alpha: บทที่ 171 - บทที่ 180

Isabella.After waiting for a few seconds, Sierra's voice came through the phone.“Izzy? I'm here. What's up?" She asked.I sucked in my breath, trying to calm myself down before I said a word “Sierra, I need your help."She remained quiet all through, listening to me. I managed to state every single detail in spite of the heat that rolled up my cheeks as I spoke. I had to make sure that none of the people in the vicinity could hear me but I still felt mortified nonetheless. By the time I was done, I was sure that my cheeks were flaming and I would never live this down. Sierra, on the other side of the line, hadn't said a word throughout and the silence continued after the last words left my lips. I looked at the phone waiting for the longest time for any sound, but there was none.Suddenly, a sharp laugh came from the other side, making my eyes widen and my flush flare up again. Sierra laughed on the other side for what seemed to be a long time.I whispered into my phone, whining.

Leo.I didn't waste any more time in going back after that. Following the security check, I gave a few instructions before handing over the rest. When I came out, Gino was still outside. It was as though he read my mind when he looked at me looking ready to leave. It was more likely that he knew me too well. I had never abandoned work, and there were very few reasons for me to do so. Sierra was safe wherever she was at the moment, so that narrowed it to one. He gave me an assured smile before exhoing my thought.“I'll take care of the rest." He said, jerking his chin forward. “Go be with your woman."‘My woman.’ That was most definitely new. But no matter how hard I tried, it didn't sound completely unpleasant.I tried not to think about it as I drove back to my pack. The sky was blooming orange, giving a hue to the house when I finally reached.To my expectations, I heard laughter shortly after I opened the door.I closed it quietly, slowly stepping into the living room.Isabella an

Isabella. I recalled the words Sierra had murmured in my ears that day.“For now."I cleared my throat, earning glances my way. Instantly I changed, giving an assuring smile to cover up my flustered reaction. When their eyes soon left mine. I quickly took a glass of water. To clear the flush on my skin.I was still in the bookshop, working when it came to mind. Serena's statement sent me spiraling that same night after Leo had accepted to take things further. The thought of having another child felt like a distant dream and I didn't really think about it anymore. It was, however, the physical activities implied that made me flush. Still, there was no use.It had been less than a week since then, and so far nothing had happened. At least, not yet.“Who is that?” People gaped at his presence there. I turned in time to see a familiar frame coming in.Despite the wealth he had amassed, he was still very withdrawn, to the point of being elusive. I was sure that in the eyes of the others,

Leo.When she turned back to me, I noticed the perturbed look on her face. The words that I had prepared in my head slipped away, a bout of worry taking over.I stood straighter, all the traces of my erection gone as I reached out to her.“What's wrong?" I quickly asked, looking her over to perceive what had happened. What did she hear over the phone call? As she looked up at me, she silently shook her head, giving a small smile. I could tell it was forced and shaky.“It's nothing." She said, moving toward me slowly.But it wasn't nothing. Especially not to me. Anything that affected her couldn't be simply nothing in my eyes. So when she came in closer enough to my reach, I gently grasped her arm, meeting her surprised doe eyes.“It's not nothing. Not to me,” I said.Slowly but surely, I saw her small frame slowly give, relaxing in resignation.“Is it okay if I sit down next to you?” She asked me hesitantly. Why was she being so tentative? When I saw her look down at the pillow that

Isabella.By the time we entered my apartment, I was still flushed from the seemingly short yet intense kissing spree I had had with Leo back in the pack house.It didn't help that at this moment, he was still holding my hand like he did all the way through the car ride to the city. To my relief, there was no sight of clear or Sierra and Treasure, meaning that we hadn't spent as long. I sat awkwardly on the couch whilst he shut the door. Now strangely enough, I couldn't find it in myself to take my eyes off him as he moved.I traced him as he entered the kitchen area, grabbing a cup before he came toward me. I accepted it thoughtlessly, not even bothering to take a sip as I watched him sit down beside me.“Why are you looking so much?" He smiled.I remembered when his smiles were so rare and bright occasionally. Then he was more brooding, more quiet, and a silent comforting presence. Now they came so easily, yet every single one still managed to make my heart skip a beat. I couldn't
