Rejected Slave To The Alpha by Gory Anna

Chapter 39

Chapter 39.

Nelly’s POV.

I stood at the window, breathing in the cool, crisp air. The sun was just beginning to set, casting a golden glow over the landscape. It had been a wonderful few days with Alpha Kex, and I didn’t want it to end. In his company, I had seen a side of him that I had never known existed, and it had been both surprising and exhilarating.

But now, with the setting sun, I knew our time together was coming to an end. I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness.

The door creaked open, and I turned to see Kex standing there, an apron tied around his waist. He looked at me, then at the bag on the bed.

“You’ve already packed?” he asked, an eyebrow raised. I nodded, a sheepish grin on my face.

“Yes, Alpha,” I said, then corrected myself. “Yes, Kex.”

He rolled his eyes, a small smile tugging at his lips. “Just Kex, remember?” he said, a teasing lilt to his voice. I let out a soft laugh, already missing his company.

“I made dinner,” Alpha Kex said, gesturing to the plates on the counter.

“Let’s cat before you go.” I nodded, and we both sat down at the kitchen counter.

“You are in for a treat,” he said, lifting a serving spoon from the pot. “I am the best chef you’ll ever come across.” He said it with such sincerity that I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m sure you are, Your Majesty,” I said, smirking. He let out a chuckle, the sound warm and inviting.

He served me spaghetti and sausages, placing the dishes in front of me with a flourish. I took a bite, savoring the flavor and the warmth of the meal.

“Ahem,” I cleared my throat, ready to speak. “What was it like growing up?” I asked, my curiosity piqucd.

He raised an eyebrow, a small smile playing on his lips. “Why do you ask?” he replied, a hint of amusement in his voice.

“Well,” I said, feeling slightly embarrassed, “I’m just curious about my friend’s background.”

“Friends?” he repeated, his tone thoughtful. I couldn’t help but notice the
