CHAPTER 45MONTANA'S POV I felt my cheeks burning up. Thoughts raced through my mind as I replayed the moments, wondering if there was any chance that he also felt the same way. Both doubts and hopes.I could not control my sweet smile, even as I was trying to compose myself.I asked myself if he sensed my feelings and if there was a chance for something more. There was just this spark I felt between us and I hope he felt it too.After cleaning up and getting ready for the night, all the while smiling and blushing, I lay down, replaying every moment and touch until I fell asleep with a contented smile.The next morning, I woke up early with the soft glow of dawn that gently came in through my curtains. Stirring from sleep, I opened my eyes as remnants of last night hit me. The emotions were lingering in the corners of my mind.I had a large smile on my face. It spread across my face effortlessly as I again recalled the shared moments from last night with Alpha
CHAPTER 46MONTANA'S POV Victoria started laughing as she came inside the kitchen after she almost gave me a heart attack, "Montana what has gotten over you, this is new", she chuckled.I removed one of my AirPods to hear her properly, "Well I decided to make breakfast today.""And sing and dance, looking all pretty and cute, huh?" Victoria gave me a suspicious smile.I was not sure about things between me and Alpha Lincoln, so when I am sure, I will tell her everything that went down, but for now, it will be mine and Alpha Lincoln's little secret, "Oh please! Can't a girl have fun while cooking sometimes", I flipped my hair and winked at Victoria.Finally, a real person to wink at."Alright alright", she raised her hand in surrender, "Is there anything I can help you with?", she offered, and I gladly accepted."Yes, please, just help me set the table, I am already done cooking just to arrange everything, then you can come to help me take the food out to the d
CHAPTER 47MONTANA'S POVAlpha stopped, turned, and looked at me. I searched his face, I don't know, but I suddenly felt like I should stop, and I would rather not look desperate, he did not even compliment me on how I looked."It's nothing", I smiled, and we kept working, "it's nothing," I said again in my mind.I started convincing myself, maybe he does not want to talk about it and this is just not the place to do that.My eyes quickly widened, and I stood in front of him, "After this, how about we go out.""We are already out, Montana.""I mean go out, like out to places, have fun," I explained to him, hoping he would accept."I still have work to do in the pack," he said, giving excuses."Please Alpha, plus I have not been anywhere, and it would be nice to get around," I said sweetly, praying and hoping he agreed."Fine, I just need to round up with my walk around the pack, then we can go.""Yes, of course, that is fine, thank you so much," I exclaimed exci
CHAPTER 48ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVTruth be told, I was having so much fun and seeing Montana have as much fun too was very nice.I was glad she dragged me out, I have not had this so much fun in a long time or even laughed this much to the point my cheeks started hurting, but it was worth it.I knew she thought we would head back home after we were done in the amusement pack, but I had other plans.It was already evening but the day, for us, was just getting started.MONTANA'S POVI have tried asking him where he was taking us but nope, no reply, and so I just enjoyed the ride happily.Finally, we reached the place and could you believe it, instantly I knew where we were, a laser tag game place?I turned to him with a gigantic smile, oh, this will be fun.We parked in and got down. Paid for entry and the game. ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV One of the staff attended to us. The place was booked by me though, I wanted it to be for just me and her for the first time and maybe
CHAPTER 49MONTANA'S POVThe announcer started, "That was quite a game and the winner is Mr. Vincintore. It seems like Mrs. Vincintore had missed.""What noooooo????!!", I said sadly, really I almost cried I wanted to win badly."Mr. Vincintore fired first but Mr. Vincintore dodged and aimed his laser gun as he slid gracefully, the laser beam found its mark just as Mrs. Vincintore recoiled from her missed shot", the announcer concluded."This is not fair, one bit", I stamped my food like a child."Told you", Alpha Lincoln smirked while resting his gun on his shoulder.How I wanted to wipe off that smirk from his face with multiple lasers shot at his ugly face.He was not ugly, but presently he will be ugly until I say otherwise.I was pouting until he came and helped me, removing my helmet carefully and softly, "would you rather I went easy and let you win?", he asked me.I shook my head, "Of course not.""Then stop sulking", he chuckled, "it's your first time,
CHAPTER 50MONTANA'S POVAs I leaned in for a kiss, I was so close to his lips, but then he averted his face and pushed me away, in a soft way though, not a harsh way."We should call it a night, you asked we forget about everything and have fun, that is what I did, please don't assume," he explained.I nodded, maybe I was rushing things, I should not overwhelm him, I said to myself, "I apologize, umm okay thanks for a wonderful day once again. Goodnight Alpha Lincoln.""Goodnight Montana", with that, he walked away, heading to his room, I suppose.I watched him enter his room before I finally shut my door and squealed, "What was that chemistry? What just happened?", I giggled and blushed, making stupid kissing faces.I fell on my bed, "Today was spectacular", I felt too lazy to shower, but eventually, I did.I slept off happily. Finally, a spark in my life.ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVI had fun today. Montana did make my day, wow, I can't remember when last I had th
CHAPTER 51 MONTANA'S POVAlpha Lincoln was unbelievable, and he was beginning to get on my nerves. I am literally trying so hard to make everything work.It is like he is just holding back, and I have no idea why. We are fantastic today, the next day we are like strangers, nothing is just certain.I am trying to understand him, I am ignoring how cold and rude he is to me sometimes just because I want this to work, us to work.I don't even know what is happening anymore, I am putting down my pride and dignity for him, but it is like he just does not see me or something.He had told me that I should make sure I do not do anything to disgrace or embarrass him at the dinner party tonight, and then left me standing there.No compliments whatsoever, just that coldness again that always makes my heart ache.Even talking about his past, getting to know him more was an issue because it's either he changes the topic or gets upset, and he makes me feel like my feelings a
CHAPTER 52ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV Finally, she went to sit down. I see no reason why she was even with me, giving the stupid excuse of people this that.I just don't want any love attachment, I don't know, I don't want anything from the contract to change, and I admit this is all my fault.Kissing her first and making her think I feel something for her, but I do not think I do.You know what? Tonight, when we get home, I will have a talk with her about everything. Let it just end!If she agrees we can just stick to being friends or nothing, I don't even care, I don't.I said to myself, downing a glass of champagne. She always finds a way to irritate me.I let out a breath, taking another glass."Easy there", I felt someone's hands around my back and then on my chest, "What has got my sweet Alpha so worked up.""Ava? What are you doing here?", I asked a bit surprised, where did she even come from, I had no idea she would be attending this party?"Well my pack got
