Chapter 42
Didn’t that count for something?
“W-H-How did you… Where were you? How are you?”
At this, she rose a brow. She was completely unamused, almost dreading my presence for the mere fact she would rather do anything else than be here with me. All the questions and things I wanted to ask and say to her blanked out of me when I soaked her in. She truly was beautiful. She had gotten toned. Her form was much better than before, allowing me to see what good four years of training had done for her. A huge part of me was glad to see she didn’t take anyone else. The missing mark on her neck told me so.
But there was still a possibility that she was seeing someone.
A possibility I didn’t want to consider.
“Alpha Walker, if you have any business with me, please make an appointment. I don’t have time for small talk and pointless little reunions.”

Then without even blinking, she pulled the car door s hut and waited for the man to climb in with her before driving off. The vans followed suit leaving behind a fog of dust to blur my vision. I watched her drive away for the second time in my life.
But somehow, it felt like I lost something I didn’t have.
“Well, that was quite a show.”
I didn’t look away from the road to know that Noah had an annoyingly smug expression on his face. I could feel his excitement and pride swelling through our bond. He made dam n sure I knew how good he was feeling. How much he enjoyed what he witnessed. The overwhelming satisfaction he got from the little show. The way his voice was slightly higher and pressed than usual was also a dead giveaway. He claimed to have a love for drama.
“My favorite part was ‘please make an appointment’ but then again, the whole thing was great. There’s so much to choose from.”
He sighed in content before looking at me seriously,
“I’m afraid I’m falling hard for you, Alpha. Don’t tell Mailia. It could be our little secret.”
The urge to smile was getting harder to resist. So I didn’t. My lips tugged up and I shook my head in amusement. I made a me ntal note to tattle on him so he could face the wr ath of his mate. Goddess knows he’d rather face any punishment I’d give him than be given the silent treatment by his beloved destined. Gripping the wheel in my hands, I glanced over to him. Noah had been talking about this for the last thirty minutes of our drive home. He made me feel like a celebrity with the latest scandal from the way he was talking. Like I just had a mini cat fight with some girl and ended on the front cover of tabloid magazines.
Except in this case, a dog fight.
Taking a left turn, we entered pack territory and nodded at the warriors guarding the border. From a glance, I saw our best fighters aside from Isaac watching with
aution as we approached. Eyes narrowed in alert and bodies tense in caution. The Head Warrior lurched forward, ready to jump down in front of the car when his gaze met mine. He backed off immediately but said nothing. He waited for his comrades to take notice themselves.
