Chapter 8 Alessia’s POV After crying for what could have been minutes or hours, I pull away from Caden. My cheeks tint pink as I notice the wet patches on the front of his t-shirt from what I hope were tears. I say a silent prayer that it isn’t anything other than tears. “Let’s go back to the pack house,” he says, looking down at me with a worried expression on his face. The only other emotion apart from anger that he has directed my way. “Ok,” I reply, twirling my fingers awkwardly, not knowing what to do with them now that they weren’t clutching onto his shirt. We walk back to the pack house in a comfortable silence, not a word exchanged between us. When we get to the front stop of the pack house, Caden stops me with a hand on my arm just before I can open the door. I’ll come to your room tonight to talk this out. No more lies this time.” His piercing gaze holds mine determiningly. He isn’t asking for my opinion, he’s telling me what’s going to be happening here. I nod, giving him my silent agreement that wasn’t asked for. I’m not delusional enough to think that he will change his mind if I simply refuse. The question was, did I want to refuse? “I’ll see you after dinner,” he tells me and opens the door to the noise of a packed house. I’m still not used to living with people and I don’t think I ever will. It’s a completely different scenario from the life that I once had. Caden walks ahead of me and disappears into the house, leaving the door open for me. Pulling a deep breath into my lungs, I take the first step into the pack house and shut the door behind me. Now, all I had to do was keep my head down and make the escape to my room before anyone noticed my presence. Everybody was immersed in their own world and I pray none would notice me passing by. Just as I take my first step, my plan gets bursted as a shadow appears in my path. From my line of view, I could see toes painted with hot pink nail polish and as I dragged my eyes up the body of the
person who interrupted my escape, I was stunned into silence. The person standing in front of me was pretty. Maybe even beautiful. Everything about her was in perfect condition, from her blond hair to her hot pink nails. She looks so put together. A complete opposite to what I currently was. A smile is about to make its way when I mame out the expression on her face. It wasn’t exactly one that said she wanted to be friends with me. 1/3 JMMB BBBBBBBBB I Chapter 8 ㄖ 9% 11:21 With her nose upturn, she gazes down at me in disdain. Of course, she was taller than me. I don’t even bother to hide my annoyance at that fact. I scoff and cross my arms over my chest. Blondie must not have liked that because the scowl on her face deepened into a deadly snarl. “What were you doing with the Alpha?” She spits out. “Caden?” I ask stup d l y. Who else would she be talking about if not Caden? The absurdity of this situation was messing with my head. Her snarl darkens. “Caden? You call him Caden?” She enquires incredulously. “Isn’t that his name?” I ask dumbly, not getting what her issue was. “It is but not just anyone is allowed to call him by his name.” She places a hand on her hip and takes a long one over at me, eyeing my state of barefoot and ruffled borrowed clothes that were a size too big. Her nose wrinkled. “Definitely not someone of your status,” she injects. The tiny envy that I harbor at her appearance immediately dies a quick death. Forget her beauty, this b i t c h was just sad to look at and frankly, I didn’t have the patience nor ment a l strength required to deal with her. “Excuse me,” I murmur, sidestepping her to continue with my escape plan that was rudely interrupted. “Hey!” She yells out but I ignore her even as I hear her hurried footsteps from behind me. “I’m not
done talking to you.” Her words come first before she grips my arm. I open my mouth, about to give her a piece of my mind when a voice interrupts us. “Let her go, Julianna,” the voice drawls out dryly. A red-haired lady appears from the door leading to what I suspect was the kitchen. Was everyone in this pack just naturally beautiful or was there something in the air they were breathing in? Julianna- which I just learned was the Blondie’s name- rolls her eyes and peels her grip away from my arm. I barely stop my eyes from widening. I didn’t expect her to give in that easily. Julianna walks over to the stranger and pins her down with a glare which the stranger returns right back. “Stay out of my business, Scarlett. Your mate won’t always be around to help you.” Then she tosses her hair over her shoulder and walks away. “Thanks for that, I mutter to the helpful stranger. I like to think that I would have been able to handle Julianna on my own but it was nice to know that someone was kind enough to lend a helping hand. “You’re welcome and just ignore Julianna. She’s a bi ch to everyone,” she smiles softly. “You’re Alessia right?” Her brows raised in question. Mine raised in surprise. How did she know who I was? I Cd & M MB BBBBBBBBBI Chapter 8 “Alex told me about you,” she supplies once she probably makes out the surprise on my face. Her answer doesn’t do anything for me except deepen my confusion. 96% 11:21 “Alex is my mate. He’s the beta of the pack,” she tells me, probably wondering how I didn’t already know about that. She was kind enough not to call me out on it though. I’m assuming Alex is one of the men who were with Caden when he found me. Though I wasn’t sure which of them he was.

“Let’s go have dinner. The chef just finished with the sauce. The table should be set already.” open my mouth to flatly refuse the offer. I wasn’t looking forward to an hour spent in a room with people I was trying to avoid. Before I can open my mouth to tell her that- maybe in more friendly words- she pulls on my hand and starts dragging me in the opposite direction of my room. What was it with everyone wanting to manhandle me?
