Alpha Justin

Josephine and I lingered outside, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the ambulance. The woman’s condition was critical, and though the odds seemed bleak, we clung to a glimmer of hope that the medical team would save her life.

My mind couldn’t escape the haunting question: why would anyone want to harm a mere housekeeper? It baffled me as we stood there, trying to make sense of the senseless act.

Throughout the traumatic ordeal, Josephine tightly held onto me, seeking comfort and solace. I wished I could shield her from the gruesome scene we had just witnessed, sparing her the burden of such a disturbing sight.

With heavy hearts, we both knew our plans for the evening were shattered. The experience was too overwhelming to carry on as if nothing had happened, so we decided it was best to call a cab and return to the safety of the pack house, where we could process this unsettling event together.

“I apologise for how everything turned out, Jo. I truly wanted us to enjoy ourselves,” I expressed as we strolled toward the road. She interlocked her hand with mine, offering a comforting touch.

“Putting the housekeeper incident aside, I genuinely had a great time, Li,” she confessed, and the sincerity in her voice brought a sense of relief to my troubled mind.

I hailed a cab, and we entered. I was determined not to let any distance come between us. Pulling her close to my body, she nestled in, and a wave of calm washed over me. In that moment, holding her close, everything else seemed to fade away, and I cherished the connection we shared.

The drive to the packhouse was brief, and we soon arrived. It being late at night, my assumption was that everyone would be asleep. To avoid encountering or disturbing anyone, Josephine and I quietly made our way toward the staircase, intending to head to my wing. However, our path was unexpectedly blocked by Justin, whose expression revealed clear anger—undoubtedly related to the incident at my grandmother’s house.

“What the Fuck, Li!” he exclaimed, causing Josephine to flinch slightly. Josephine wasn’t an alpha, so she couldn’t help but feel intimidated by Justin’s imposing presence. She clutched my arm tightly, seeking reassurance, and I glanced at Justin.

“Please, let’s keep it calm,” I linked him, hoping to diffuse the tension. His gaze shifted to Josephine, and he realised his mistake, acknowledging her vulnerability in this situation.
