034 – Mr. Creepy Guy

LUCY.

My eyes snapped open at the same time my stomach growled as if something would come out of it. I shoved the blanket off my body as I glanced at the clock – it would be lunchtime soon, and I was still

in bed.

The Alpha did really let me rest, which was very thoughtful of him.

I sniffed myself – I reeked of the Alpha and all the fluids that were mixed in and out of me, but I was not repulsed by

them. But of course, I needed to wash it off me. With hurried movement, I rushed to the bathroom only to stop in my tracks when I caught sight of the bathtub. Someone had prepared a bubble bath, but the cold water and the almost-gone

bubbles were a sign that it had been left

standing for quite a while now.

The Alpha might have done this, and I

was sure they were for me because he

told me he seldom used the bathtub. But because he had an unpredictable mood, he stormed off before we could enjoy this.

I rinsed off my body from the cold shower and jumped into the almost-gone bubble bath without minding the cold water. As long as there’s water, it would

work for me.

I was enjoying myself so much that I almost forgot that I was supposed to hurry up. The Alpha told me he would be leaving today for another task, and I

would throw a tantrum if he did leave

without waking me up.

After I slipped on a skirt and midriff

blouse and tied my hair in a high

ponytail, I rushed out of our room and

skipped my way down the stairs. No one was around the stairs, so I was sure no one would tell the grumpy Alpha that I was walking in a not-so-ladylike manner.

Hmmm… the food smells nice. I hope I’m

not late for lunch yet.

I hurriedly walked and ran toward the dining room, only to stop in my tracks when I came to the entrance. The Alpha had visitors, and since I was caught off guard, I was not able to say or do anything except flash the Alpha a wide grin because I was honestly thrilled he

was still home.

“Look, who do we have here?” A sweet voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and it somehow sounded familiar. “Isn’t

she a beauty, Aeon?”

Aeon, like Alpha Aeon of Alexa? Aeon was not an ordinary name and hearing it

made the smile on my face fade as my

heart thudded loudly. My eyes rounded the dining table, and despite the crowd in there, they focused on the beautiful blonde female I thought I would never see again in my life.

“Alexa?” I asked in an almost inaudible

voice. It had been too long since I had seen her last.

The female’s brows furrowed before she smiled at me. “You know me?”

I was right! She’s Alexa!

Her mother and my mom were good friends, and Alexa came into our lives a few days after my stepfather died. And after that, she had always been around until I was taken away. She was helping us, providing whatever we needed, and my mother told me once that she was giving us so much that she was able to save more money for me.

Excitement brewed over my chest as I

beamed at the only female I considered

my only friend, even though she was nine years older than me. “Don’t you

remember me? Darling Lucy?!”

Alexa’s face paled as she pushed her chair back, creating a loud screeching sound, and stood up. “Lucy!”

I didn’t wait for her to move. Instead, I

rounded the corner and dashed to her

side. She had her arms open, and I flung my body toward her, hugging her tightly. She still smelled like lavender and roses. I

closed my eyes as tears threatened to fall. She was the only person close to my mother’s memory, and it was making my

heart ache.

“Aeon, Lucy is here…” Alexa’s voice was almost breaking as she hugged me tightly. “I looked for you, but we couldn’t find you…”

A lone tear fell from my eyes at the thought of someone who deemed me important enough that she actually went looking for me.

My mother died in her sleep. I found her unresponsive in bed one morning, and I had no idea what to do. I was eleven, and

we had no friends around us. I left my

mother’s body at home and went to a nearby shop to borrow a phone.

I called Alexa and told her mommy was

dead. She told me she would come for me

and that she would take care of me like
