บททั้งหมดของ Becoming the Female Alpha: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

I pushed the door to his office open and slammed it hard, my eyes fixed on him as I waited for a reaction, but the bastard was too calm and way collected to react.Kane’s gaze lazily left the piles of books that were sitting on his desk, and he glared at me. “There is no need to put a door when you blatantly refuse to use it.”He was referring to my habit of just entering inside without waiting for his response.We have been over this; a lot of words have been exchanged, maybe fist too, but I was not about to change. In my defense, a knock was more than enough to alert him of my presence.And if he was the ‘great’ alpha he claims to be, he should have already perceived my scent a long time ago.The fucker keeps forgetting we are equals.Anyway, I came for something important, and that was the only reason I let his comment slide.“I am leaving the pack.”“About time, you have overstayed your visit.” I could swear I heard him say it under his breath, but his facial muscles barely moved.

“I don’t know; I was busy training, making sure I don’t die, fighting, trying to conquer lands, and maybe fighting my brothers.” I explained, listing them with my fingers, and they all looked at me with squinted eyes.“What the hell, Maddie? You did nothing but fight,” Emily exclaimed, still unable to fathom how I had lived my years with being boy crazy. “How did you not die of boredom?”“Anyways, that is not why we are here.” Ariel interrupted before it could get out of hand. “We are down to the important part. Giftttsss.” My ears rang at the screams that followed, and Ariel directed a glare towards me as she didn’t hear my voice.“Yayy!” I said in the most monotone voice I could muster, making her frown deepen, but I only shrugged. That was the most excited ‘noise’ I could muster.“You could be at least a bit enthusiastic.” She grumbled, rolling her eyes. “Anyway, we would take turns opening our gifts, and I would be the last to go.”“Yeah, sure, let’s just get this started.” I took

His words descended down like cold water, enough to dampen whatever mood we were in, and I released a long sigh.The moment we had shared was shattered, and he had managed to ruin the beautiful time that we had.“You can’t do that.” My whispers were the only thing that could be heard in the room. Everything was still; even the noise of the air conditioner was now a dull hum, as if they could all sense how serious the situation was.“Maddie.” Toby tried pulling me towards him, but I shrugged his hands off, refusing to be lured.“You can’t do that, Toby; you can’t. This was the only request I told you not to ask me, yet you did it.” I tightened my fingers in the fist—tight enough that my knuckles were getting white—it was the only thing that was keeping me sane.“I know; I thought I could do it, Maddie. I thought I could watch you go and continue living my life, but after today I know it is impossible.”“Toby!” I cried out, turning my back to him as a lone tear fell down my eyes. I have

“Toby?” I swallowed the saliva that had pooled in my throat as I heard the footsteps of what should definitely be my mate.Like a switch that had been suddenly turned on, my smile was instant, and I beamed up as I walked towards the source of the scent. But it was all wrong, and now that it was getting closer, the slow gait in which the person walked was nowhere near my mate.“Maddie?”“Ariel.” I sighed, dejected.“Someone doesn’t look so happy to see me.” She murmurs in a pout, jutting her lower lips forward, and I shake my head, not bothering to wipe the frown on my face.“Of course, I am happy to see you; I was thinking it was someone else.”“Aaahh.” Her eye lit up in recognition, and she smiled. “I bumped into him briefly, and we talked; that should explain why you can perceive his scent.” Ariel explained with a sparkle in her eye that was still shining even in the dark.She thought her response would make me happy, but it only made my mood plummet.It was obvious Toby was awake a
