I feel this female was important to him because I saw them kissing.
I never saw my Alpha kiss or hold anyone in his arms. Occasionally, I would see him hug Andrea, but that was it. He was never careless enough to be seen kissing her, or maybe he hadn’t kissed her at all. But Andrea was part of the past.
Fuck me! Why the fuck did I mention Andrea earlier?It’s no wonder Nadia would rather sleep in the dungeon.
“Where are you going?” I was at the foot of the stairs, about to head up to the room Alpha Riley wanted me to give her, when I noticed Nadia had passed me and was heading for the corridor.
“Alpha Riley said I could stay in the other building...” She was biting her bottom lip, and her eyes were watering. She looked like a lost cat, different from her demeanor when she was inside the office and snarling at the Alpha.
“No. He instructed me to take you to the room upstairs. Come.” I gestured with my hand, urging her to follow me.
She didn’t reply but proceeded to follow me.
“So, you and the Alpha. Have you met before today?”I asked.
“We met three months ago.”
My head snapped back in her direction. Three months ago? Was it before the Alpha went into sulking and stopped functioning as an Alpha? “What happened after you met?”
“Didn’t he tell you?”
I shook my head in response.
“Maybe because it was nothing to him.”
“Or I was worth nothing to him as a Beta, so he didn’t trust me with anything.”
“Either way, one of us will still get hurt, right? So better not dwell on it.” She smiled weakly, her eyes focusing on where we were heading.
“Will you tell me about you and him?”
“He marked me.”
“Did he force you? Shit! Did he go mad…” My breathing hitched as I spoke. I couldn’t believe he would do that, but what if?
“No. It was mutual. But I didn’t know he would leave me after…”
“You let him mark you? Is he your mate?” My eyes darted to her neck, which was covered by her hair. I wanted to see if a fated mark was there or if Riley had gone mad and just picked up a female to replace Andrea.
Her hand flew to her neck as she gently rubbed it with her palm. “Yes. Fated mate. But I don’t think he wants me.”
“Maybe he does. What I saw there when we entered his office was something he had never done with anyone.”
She stopped walking as she scoffed and crossed her arms across her chest, facing my direction and making me halt. “Even with Andrea?”
I nodded my head. “Even with Andrea.” I moved forward and pointed to the door ahead of us. “That’s the Alpha’s room. Now, he said, you can select the room you want. Even the biggest room, but he wanted to have it renovated first, so if you want that big room, you have to wait for a couple of days before you can use it.”
“A couple of days?”
My forehead creased.Was that a complaint because it would take a couple of days for a room to be renovated?That was quick already.
“You mean I can stay more than one day?” Her eyes started to water again, and she was confusing me.
I scratched my head before I chuckled as I answered her. “It seems that way. Otherwise, he would just let you use the guest room on the second floor. You want to check the rooms?”
“No need. I’ll take the one farthest from the Alpha.”
I nodded my head and started walking towards the end of the corridor. This floor has seven rooms, but the whole floor belongs entirely to Alpha Riley. No one has occupied this place except the Alpha’s family in the past.
