ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV…I could see the disappointment in her eyes after I’d said that and she held on to the knob of the door as she was fighting hard not to cry in front of me.Seeing her like this, watching her almost break down before me, my heart clenched and this gave me all the more reason to push her away. As Alpha that I was, I couldn’t afford to be broken down by someone, not even if they were my mate.She chuckled as she stared at me. “It’s gotten that bad, huh?” She asked me, and I rolled my eyes as I clenched my fists, doing my best to keep my emotions bottled in.“Let’s be real, there was nothing between us. It was all just lust. You shivered under my touch, your body pressed against mine made me feel things, but that’s in the past now, let’s focus on what actually brought us together. I’m doing you a favor after all and the pup will be my pay back for the fifty million I spent on you when I bought you.” I told her, and she nodded as she turned away from me.From the way s

ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV…She gasped as she fell to the ground, the boxes landing on her. Seeing her like this, my heart clenched, but I couldn’t fall out of character. I had to be as strong as I could be. She started this, and I was going to be the one who called the shots here.“You don’t have all day for this, so come on, we need to get back to the mansion before midnight so don’t waste my time.” I told her, and she gasped as she held on to her back, getting up as she stared at all the boxes that had gotten scattered.Staring at her face, I realized that there was some blood on her forehead because of the fall. I wanted to move closer to her and tend to it, but then recalling that things like that would only make her think I couldn’t do without being soft to her, hence, causing her to be disrespectful, I withdrew myself.‘Come on, Alexander. Tend to her. You want to. Can you really bear to see our mate in danger? Tend to her already.’ Jason urged from within me, but I surpressed him.

AMELIA’s POV…As I dragged myself to my room, Kevin stood in front of me and seeing him, I rushed to him as I hugged him, tightly, tears streaming down my cheeks as he hugged me.“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” He asked me, and I shook my head as I kept soaking his shirt in my tears.“Why? Why is this happening to me?” I asked him, and he sighed as he wrapped his hands around me, taking me to the garden where we sat, like an older brother, him patting my back.“The Alpha said something to you, didn’t he?” He asked me, and I nodded as I buried my face in my hands.“I don’t even know if it’s his words that are hurting me this way or the fact that I know he’s not the same man I started to like.” I told him, and he sighed as he stared at the waterfall.He chuckled as he took his hands off my back. “You should really watch out for men like him. You shouldn’t get too attached. Amelia, I’d love to console you now. I’d like to tell you that everything will be fine, but how can I? How can

AMELIA’s POV..“Pinuno?” One of the men called out to him and that was when I knew that he was the leader of their gang since “Pinuno” meant “leader”Pinuno chuckled as he walked over to me, grabbing my chin as he looked into my eyes, but having him look into my eyes, I felt nothing but disgust. “I want you, cupcake. You look like you’d be tasty. I mean, a woman who can get herself out of my bounds is bound to be tasty, isn’t she?” Following his words was a slap on the face from me.“How dare you?” I asked him, angrily, and turning to me, I could see the anger in his eyes.I looked down to his fists while he seethed in anger and I saw that they’d been balled into a punch. I clenched my fists, doing my best to hide the fear that was now building up in me from having seen this, when suddenly, I felt his hand driven into my stomach, and I gasped in pain as I fell back into the chair, having it fall to the ground as I rolled out of it, holding my stomach.He blew his first as he bent to m

AMELIA’s POV…“Alpha Alexander?” One of the men called as he moved closer to him, but before he could strike, Alpha Alexander grabbed his hand as he twisted it behind him, ducking as he went under his legs, flipping over as he caused the man to land on his neck and from where I laid, bleeding, I could hear the snap of his bone.I tried to get up but the pain from my head was making it almost impossible. I sniffled as I tried to move away from there, to at least get some help, but before I could, one of them rushed to me.He was about to cover my mouth, but I saw Alpha Alexander coming for us so I just hit my head against his face seeing as he was around my height and the moment my blood that had been mixed with sand came in contact with his face, he staggered and that gave Alpha Alexander the chance to strike at the side of his neck and in less than a second, he fell to the ground, whether dead or unconscious. I didn’t.“Alpha Alexander, move!” I screamed when I saw a man coming for h
