The Alpha’s Little Rogue

Chapter 16

Chapter 16
Caden’s POV
I enter the pack house to see Lucy running towards me like she always does.
“Hey sweetie.” I greet as she jumps into my open arms. I set her on my hip and wiped the flour stain on her check. “What did you do today?” I ask, already knowing the answer.
“We made biscuits,” she replies excitedly.
“I can see that,” I say, dusting a speck of flour from her hair. She’s going to be needing a very long bath to get all this from her body and hair.
“Alessia helped us,” she announces just as the subject of our talk steps out of the kitchen.
She walks over and stops in front of me. “How did the training go?” She asks.
I can’t help but notice how domesticated this is. It looks like I came home from work to be greeted by my wife and sister at the front door. It leaves me feeling uneasy.
“It was ok.” I set Lucy down on the ground and she flies into the kitchen, leaving Alessia and I in a bubble of awkwardness.
Alessia clears her throat and shifts on her foot as she looks around her.
I take a good look at her and notice that just like the other night, the shirt she has on is falling off her shoulders.
I made a men t a l note to remedy that and now seems like the time for it.
“Follow me,” I order, taking hold of her hand and dragging her towards the door.

“Where are you taking me to?” Alessia asks but that’s the only objection she makes. She doesn’t try to pull her hand out of my hold or dig her foot into the ground.
I smile at that. It seems my little brat is learning quickly. My thoughts halt as I register that I just referred to Alessia as mine. When did I start thinking of her in that way?
“Answer me.” Her whining pulls me away from my thoughts.
Stopping in front of a Toyota Camry that was hardly ever in use, I gesture for her to get in but she just stands there and keeps staring at me.
I huff, walking around the car to the passenger’s side and pulling open the door for her. Then I dramatically bow down and gesture a hand into the car. “Would you please do me the honor of getting into the car?” I ask, my tone dripping with sarcasm.
She crosses her arms over her chest. “Not until you tell me where you’re taking me to. You could be driving

With a groan, I consider actually following through with that idea. Why was this girl so insufferable
“I’m taking you to get a new set of clothes,” I admit, already regretting the kind act.
Maybe I should have given this task to someone else. If only she didn’t tend to try and run away at every chance she got.
“Oh,” she mumbles dumbly. “You could have simply told me that.” With an eyes roll, she walks to my side and slides into the car.
Rolling my eyes as well, I shut the door and round the car to the driver’s seat where I slide in and insert the keys into the ignition.
The car was so out of use that 1 silently prayed for it to still be working when I turn it on.

Thankfully, the car roars to life and I shift it into gear, peeling out of the driveway where it was parked.
I continue driving without a word from Alessia and I appreciate the peace and quiet for however will last. When we get into town, it changes.
“Why did we have to go into town to get me clothes?”
I don’t have to look at her to know that her nose is scrunched up in confusion.
