My eyes almost bulged from their socket, I was expecting another kind of reaction from him, not this.“Wha…. What do you mean” I asked, acting oblivious.He smiled “The stunt you pulled today, I knew you did everything intentionally”“Except for getting your clothes stained with wine”“So you admit it” he smirked and I realized what I had just said.“It’s not what you think”“Please enlighten me”“I ….. just …. had to …. find a way for you to lose interest in me” I am sure he was having fun with the way I could not even make a sentence with my jumbled words.“Is it because of my confession”I nodded slightly.He chuckled, “I don’t plan on trying to stop liking you and no matter how silly you act, you just make me grow fond of you” he moved a strand of hair that was standing idly on my face to the back of my ear “ and I don’t plan on forcing you to reciprocate my feelings” his hands rested on the car beside my head “I also think you should stop trying to make me not like you, do you un
Kai stared at me waiting for an explanation as I looked around looking for the white haired guy that was here a moment ago.“You better give me a good explanation as to why you are here” he thundered and I stepped back at how menacing he sounded.“Go easy on her would you” Preston emerged from the woods and walked towards me, placing his hands around my shoulder.“Are you hurt?” he asked and I shook my head while looking at Kai from the corner of my eyes.“Just ignore him. Are you hungry?” the ever so sweet Preston asked.I smiled and nodded.Kai sighed “Stop indulging her Preston”“Says the guy who ravaged the pack trying to find her” Hearing Preston’s reply, I looked up at Kai surprised and I expected him to deny it.“Don’t get thoughts in her head” he replied calmly as he walked away.“Come on now, the boys are waiting” Preston held me as he led me out of the woods.Preston was really a life saver, I was sure Kai was ready to chop my head off with the way he was glaring at me.We d
“Nice to meet you” she smiled at me as she brought her hand forward for a handshake.I only smiled awkwardly as I took her outstretched hand.“I look forward to working with you” she kept on faking her smile.“Jane please take Amber to change her clothes, she will start working immediately and by the way, you look stunning today” Mr Baldwin commentedShe giggled “Thank you, Mr Baldwin” I almost cringed at their interaction; this wasn't just a boss worker relationship.“Come on Amber” she winked at Mr Baldwin as she left and I followed her.She led me to another room, which was only for the female workers.She took a black apron from the rack and a name tag.“This would be your work uniform”I took it from her “Thank you”. I was about to put on the apron when she held my hand abruptly.“Don’t act like you don't remember me” she seethed “It seems Alpha Kayden got tired of you, and now you have to fend for yourself. You better watch your back” Her eyes glowed as she released my hand be
“I am really sorry” I slightly bowed my head “If you don’t mind I will replace your meal” I apologized ignoring my throbbing cheek.I was about to grab the plate from the table, but he suddenly threw the plate to the floor.“Are you trying to mock me” he thundered “The service here is really bad, I need to see the manager”It seems anything I do right now would only infuriate him, I just apologized and he said I am trying to mock him.“The manager will be here shortly, so please don’t be mad, I apologize on my co-worker’s behalf, she is new to all of this” It was June who spoke up, anyone seeing her right now would think she sounded sincere, but it was obvious she just wants to point out that I was wrong because I was a new worker though I have been here for two weeks.“Making a new worker serve me just shows how disrespectful you are, do you know who I am” he raised his tone as he spoke “I want to see the manager immediately”“I am really sorry for my worker’s incompetence” Mr Baldwi
It has been two weeks since I started working in the diner and none of the Alphas have ever come to the diner. It was Kai’s rule for all the brothers to keep a distance from me at my workplace, and seeing Preston standing at the entrance of the diner was surprising.The workers that had all gathered dispersed, and everyone went back to eating their meal, there was tension in the air as Preston stood in front of the troublesome customer who was standing at the entrance of the diner“Al..ph…aa…” He stuttered as he stepped back, away from Preston.“Alpha Preston” Mr. Baldwin quickly stepped in, smiling wildly as he approached Preston “Welcome to my diner” “Diner?” he scoffed “It looks more like a war house” his eyes darted to the troublesome customer who had insisted that I had put hair in his meal.Mr Baldwin chuckled nervously “It was just a little misunderstanding, and he was just leaving, aren’t I right?” He asked the troublesome customer who quickly nodded and scurried away from th
Once I got home, I had lunch with my step brothers, except for Kai who I think wasn't home. I haven't seen him for the past few days now, because he was busy.I decided to take a stroll around the house before going to bed, and I happened to notice a greenhouse, which I had never seen since I had been staying here, although I hadn't really explored the house.I stepped into the green house and the scenery was so beautiful, it smelled like nature and there was a little garden of flowers, I walked towards it and saw a pretty purple flower isolated from the rest, the petals could catch the attention of anyone who walks into the greenhouse.I was about to touch it, but my hand was suddenly held preventing me from reaching the flowers.“I didn't know I had a visitor”I turned around and was faced with Matteo who had a darkened expression, which took me by surprise, making me stagger backward, I missed a foot and almost fell, but Matteo caught me.This was the first time I saw Matteo with a
“Who the hell are you?” I shouted moving backward. My room was dark and I regretted not turning on the lights when I entered my room.A hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and I was pulled to the bed.“You are too loud,” the husky voice said, his voice was low as though he was tired, then it hit me and I realized who I was lying beside.It was Kai.What the hell was he doing here?I wanted to stand but his strong grip held me down making it impossible for me to move.“Alpha Kai” I called out his name, but his steady breathing made me know that he had fallen asleep.I did not know how I was going to sleep, hell I wasn’t even comfortable knowing that I was sleeping beside the one person who hated me in this house.Many thoughts kept on running through my head as to why Kai was currently on my bed. Surely it was not a mistake that he was here because that could hardly ever be it, and never in a thousand years would I expect this kind of scenario.I stared into the darkness knowing that this
“Amber” Preston called out my name worried “You are awake”I nodded awkwardly, my fingers entwined as I stood in front of them feeling nervous. “You are Caren’s daughter,” The man beside Preston said with a smile.I nodded, not still able to form any words with Kai’s piercing gaze still on me.“I am Andrew, the boy's father”I gasped as I lowered my head, I am currently facing the former Alpha of this pack.“No need for formalities, you are also my daughter, Caren told me a lot about you, she is really worried about you, you can come see her anytime, and I will be looking forward to know Caren’s beloved daughter” his tone was warm “I have something urgent to deal with, I will be excusing myself. And if the boys ever trouble you, you can tell me anytime. Especially Kai” he whispered the last part to me with a smile and left.Kai rolled his eyes, he clearly heard what his father had told me. I haven’t spoken to Mum since our last argument and it made me feel guilty, being in this pack
