Alpha's Nala novel Chapter 16

Legaxy

I know that type of creature.

A vampire, for sure...

But what's it doing here?

I took another glance and search for any signs indicating he was a rogue predator.

Thankfully, he was a clean one; no wrinkled skin, no ugly marks, no long dirty nails, and hopefully, no dark teeth and pure blood-red irises.

Yet, still unsure of its purpose, I slowly unlocked our front door and took another peek through the crack.

To my instant relief, it was just Cayden — our clan's messenger, standing bored on our front porch.

Immediately, I fully opened our front door.

Upon seeing me, he gracefully straightened up while a wicked smile slowly spread across his smooth, pale white face.

“What a lovely morning it is,” he announced, taking off his hat — his long blonde hair was tied up in a messy bun. “Hello, Ms. Dyme.” He greeted in a flirtatious tone.

Great, a flirting Vampire in the morning... And here I thought, rogue vampires and black witches were far more formidable.

I just raised an eyebrow at him, suggesting I was in an unpleasant mood.

Sadly, he didn't notice that since his eyes found it's way to my body; busy prowling at it.

Damn it!

Remind me the reason why I didn't change my sexy sleeping wear; composing of a matching white silk lace halter top and cami shorts, into a more conservative attire when I had the chance — Oh yeah because I was completely distracted by the upcoming event tonight…

‘Stupid, stupid Legaxy.’ I internally scolded myself.

“Cayden.” I finally acknowledged him — coldly if I may add, while covering my body with my free arm in a somewhat, discreet way.

He noticed that but it didn't bother him at all... No, actually the idiot male vampire finds it amusing that his infamous smile widened.

I couldn't help but rolled my eyes out of annoyance.

“Mind telling me why I should NOT slam this freaking door, right in front of your face by now?” I inquired, my other hand which was resting on the doorknob was itching to move.

Cayden snickered.

“Oh, still a feisty woman, I see...” He muttered and leaned on the door, completely dominating me with his full six-foot height, “You know, I love difficult and tough women in the morning. Makes me want to EAT. THEM. RAW.” He teased, quickly licking his teeth.

Instead of laughing and feeling very brave at the second, I stepped a little closer at him — not disturbed by his intimidating height — and shot the bothersome Vampire my signature cold look; the aloof and serious stare.

“10 seconds, Cayden. Talk, NOW.” I warned, crossing my arms.

The mischievous vampire loved the motion that he opposed me and here we are, commencing a staring contest with each other.

“Or what, Dyme?” He challenged while cocking his head to one side, “Know that this door can't even stand a chance. We, vampires, are built to break down mountains woman, so this” — points a thumb at the door — “barrier you trust so much, is not enough to cause harm to me... I might just leave a dent here instead.” He then smirks — a naughty kind of smirk.

I swear, I almost swing a fist at him — wanting to wipe that smug expression on his face.

Though, I quickly reminded myself to stay calm and be more in control of myself because I am more mature than this — I'm more steady and clever than this.

So, I proceeded to the countdown.

When the ten-second ended and me sticking to my promise of closing the heavy oak door on the Vampire's pleased face, I abruptly halted for I caught a glimpse of a gold envelope shimmering on Cayden's black blazer suit's pocket.

I instantly knew what that was — a VIP invitation to the Red Moon ball.

Cayden, noticing my pause, blinked. Then, his eyes followed my line of sight and seeing I was staring at the invitation on his suit's pocket, his face beamed.

“Seems like you have an important message to give us.” I pointed out after the sudden silence — gone was the madwoman.
