Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire (Maya and Alex)

Chapter 73

-Alex's POV-

We stood there, a tableau of shock and simmering tension. Her eyes, wide and glassy, seemed to stare right through me, threatening to shatter into a million pieces.

I wasn't supposed to be here. I hated everything about a park. It reminded me of what I never had as a child. Yet, here I was because even though I had tried to fight it, my wolf would always be at attuned to her.

Everything had been going smoothly at the office. Ivan's books checked out clean, the contract was signed, solidifying my ownership of a perfect 45% stake. No meetings lined up, just a day to unwind. Well, unwind wouldn't exactly describe the tense atmosphere with Miranda at home. Not in the mood for another argument, I'd opted for a drive with my driver. Then, passing the park, a low growl rumbled through my wolf. Unease prickled my skin.

So I went for a drive. It wasn't like I was following anyone, but my wolf seemed agitated when we passed the park. I instructed my driver to turn around, and that's when I saw it - a flash of bright red hair through the trees. My feet moved before my mind could catch up, and before! knew it, I was almost by her side. A car sped off, leaving her alone in the middle of the field.

The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating and we continued to stand there, rapped in an unspoken language of stares. Finally, I broke the eye contact, the raw urge from my wolf threatening to spill over. I had to before I did something stupid like kiss her again and with that thought, my gaze fell to her lips.

She just continued staring at me then after a while, turned around to leave without a single word.

"Amaya," I blurted out before she could disappear. Her shoulders tensed at the sound of her name, but she didn't stop walking. Frustration bubbled up. "Amaya, stop walking," I repeated, my voice firmer this time.

It was pointless to fight it. I unleashed a sliver of my alpha aura, a subtle pressure that demanded her attention. She whirled around, her eyes blazing with a fire I remembered all too well. "What do you want from me, Alex? Are you following me?!"

"Following you?" I scoffed, mirroring her irritated tone.
