Page 15 of Her Destined Alpha (Alpha #3)

“Oh, Kitten, I’d only eat you if you wanted me to.

” He winked at me. I felt my cheeks burn.

I may not have been the most sexually active person, but I knew what that meant.

I frowned to cover my blush as he stood up.

Leaning over, he caressed my cheek. “Enjoy your food. I just found a way into my little kitten’s heart, and I intend to win it completely. ”

I was about to ask what he meant, but my mouth was too full to speak. He walked out, closed the door behind him, and left me alone with the entire tray of food. I swallowed slowly. What did he mean by a way into my heart? There was nothing inside me to win; the hatred I felt would never lessen.

A familiar coldness washed over me, and the excitement I had felt moments earlier was gone. I ate my doughnut slowly, my memory going back to what Endora had said.

Kill her sons, the Rossi brothers. I had seen one of them, the Rogue Alpha, from afar.

Then there was the Lycan King and the third.

.. who was he? How was Rayhan related to them?

He wasn’t the Lycan’s son because he had only found his mate a few years ago.

Then was he possibly Endora’s third son’s son?

Why did I care? It wasn’t like I’d be agreeing to her offer.

I frowned. Endora could possibly be Rayhan’s grandmother, which made him somewhat have some witch genes in him… interesting.

A light knock on the door made me look up, and it opened to reveal the two pretty girls from the diner. I wondered who they were to Rayhan.

“Mind if we come in?” The taller brunette asked. I just shook my head. There was nothing I could say... they outnumbered me greatly. “I’m Lola, and this is Rose, my mate.”

“Nice.” I didn’t know what else to say…

“Mind if we sit down, babe?” Rose, the blond, asked.

I shook my head, picking up the yum yum.

The delicious icing sugar-coated pastry was tastier than I had ever imagined.

I’d had one once… but that was from a supermarket, in the garbage that I had found in the bins.

This one is so much better. Oh my, I think these might be my new favourites…

if I ever get the chance to eat another one again, that is.

“How are you feeling? Is it okay if I check your hand once you’ve eaten?” Lola asked. My hand... it didn’t hurt much anymore.

“It’s fine, thanks though,” I replied. I didn’t have too much experience with she-wolves. I just knew that their male counterparts were monsters…

“We were the ones who changed you just in case you think it was Rayhan. He told us to,” Rose said, giving me a small smile.

That did make me feel a lot better. So, he told them to? That was considerate… My heart skipped a beat, and I picked up my coffee, sipping it.

“So, how old are you?” Lola asked.

“Nineteen.”

“Nice! I’m twenty, Lola is twenty-three. Rayhan is twenty-one, and Chris is twenty-four,” Rose said. Chris? Was he the other man with them?

“He might be the oldest, but he’s a misogynistic pig,” Lola glowered. Weren’t they friends? I stared at the look of amusement on Rose’s face.

“You know, half the time he does it just to annoy us, and other times it’s his lack of brain cells,” she said, kissing Lola’s hand.

For a moment, I almost forgot that they were werewolves. They just looked like a normal young couple having a conversation.

A dark memory returned. I shivered, pushing it away. They both looked at me.

“Are you cold?” Lola asked.

“No, I’m fine,” I said, looking at the croissant. My stomach was full, but I couldn’t let it go to waste…

“Eat it,” Rose encouraged with a small smile. I shook my head.

“I’ve eaten enough.” It was the truth. My tummy was hurting.

“Do you want to watch a movie or something while you rest?” Rose asked. I didn’t miss her exchanging looks with Lola. I guessed I was being anti-social, but I didn’t really trust them.

“When can I leave?” I asked suddenly. They both tensely looked at me.

“When you’re better,” Lola said. She was lying, I could sense that much.

“Tell your alpha I am leaving soon,” I stated, crossing my arms. Rose giggled.

“Now there she is. Rayhan said you were a feisty thing, but I didn’t believe it.”

“Well, you shouldn’t believe everything he says. Besides, he doesn’t know me well enough to make a statement like that,” I said, frowning. Lola smirked.

“Mhm, I think he wasn’t wrong. Does talking about him annoy you? Is it because he’s handsome?” she teased. I felt an odd pang of something inside, and I frowned.

“He’s far from handsome.” I tossed my hair. Yes, extremely god-like, handsome didn’t cut it... Wait, what am I thinking?

“Mhm, I’m sure.” Lola smirked, and Rose gave her a look.

“Anyway, get some rest. I hope you know that we might be different species, but we won’t forget what you did for our kind, Delsanra. If it wasn’t for you, many more of our loved ones would have died. Thank you.”

Thank you? Would they thank me if they knew that I had given Endora the answers to a lot of her spells?

That I contacted the witches of the past and sought the answers she wanted?

No, they wouldn’t. I didn’t want to tell her what she wanted…

but she’d torture me until I screamed out all I knew. I had been weak. I still was.

I frowned. Should I just tell Rayhan? That if it wasn’t for me… Endora would never have been as strong as she was? Then would he let me go, accept my rejection, or maybe he’d kill me?

There was only one way to find out. I was going to tell him.
