Alpha's Nala novel Chapter 33

Theo

Seeing her didn't do good to me…

Instantly, my eyes widened and my breath hitched.

Not because she looked amazing on that emerald green fitted dress while wearing a small amount of makeup, but because she looked awfully familiar.

“Casmine?” I whispered.

No, it can't be.

She's already in the heavens... She can't be alive right now.

Yet, who is this female?

I inspect the unknown woman further with a held breath as she hurried her way towards me. She did wave at me once but I couldn't bother to respond — too flabbergasted to even move.

Halting in front of me now, she flashed a small smile and politely asked, “Excuse me, Sir, but I was looking for the meeting room. Can you tell me where it is?” 

Mother of all mercy, her voice; It was the same diction and tone as Casmine's!

No, this is a dream... It must be a dream.

Right?

I know deeply this is not my RED, that this is not my beautiful Casmine, but I could not help to feel completely surprised by this.

For that, I immediately searched for more signs of familiarity.

I started on the top; recognizing the same heart-shaped face, to the similar small nose and full pink lips. Hair colors the same and even the slightest hint of dimples on both sides of her cheeks were there. Then, to avoid being speculated as a pervert, I rapidly scanned her body from up to her head and down to her toes.

The same physique, curves, and height…

The only difference I could find upon my assessment was her eyes — which happens to be silver-gray, while Casmine's were midnight black.

So, I am not crazy.

And this is not really a dream…

Satisfied with my confirmation, I slowly exhaled and shifted my gaze to stare at her once again.

Seeing this, she waved again at me. This time, she looked awkward and somewhat nervous.

I wanted to ask why when she spoke first.

“Um, hi? Do I need to… repeat myself or… you just don't understand what I was saying?” she shyly inquired.

She's adorable... Unlike Casmine's grace when approaching, but still adorable.

I could only smirk as I realized that I had an effect on this lady; verified with the timidness she was displaying.

Clearing my throat now, I answered, “It's on the fourth door to the left, Miss. Just walk straight from here.”

Amusingly, after telling her the directions, I noticed a hint of blush on her cheeks. Whatever thought she had with me, I could tell it was not a decent one.

I felt smug about this that my smirk widened.

She finally snapped from her sudden dazed and flashed me another one of her small smiles, her ghost of a dimple showing.

“Oh, thank you so much…?” her eyes timidly looked at me, asking for something.

Getting the clue, I smiled at her, declaring, “Theo,” and noticing that she just got out from another stupor, I proceeded on introducing myself fully.

“Theo Callix Gray.”

Furthermore, I took her slender hand and kissed it gently while remaining in eye contact with her.

She gasped and was about to say something when I heard my right hand's voice, coming from the hallways that my back was facing at.

“Legaxy, baby?”

The unknown dame, who I know now as Legaxy — unusual name but it uniquely suits her, peeked at my back and instantly beamed.

“Papa!” she called out.

Papa?

Jacob?

When Jacob appeared from the shadows, Legaxy gently took off her hand from mine and hurried to my right hand and most trusted man.

Dios!

For a lady with heels, this woman can sprint... Nonetheless, my forehead creased in question.

Jacob had a daughter?

I, after a while, decided to sniff her scent.

HUMAN.

Oh, her… I remember her now.

Jacob, noticing my presence now, shot me a baffled look and before he could even address me, little Legaxy spoke up.

“Papa, I thought you were in a meeting. I was about to get to you.”

“I was, Princess.” Jacob frowned, “However, your Mum called and told me you were missing… we got worried.”

Legaxy, hearing this, looked embarrassed.

“I'm sorry, Papa.”

She apologizes with trembling lips.

‘Very, very adorable,’ I couldn't help but thought.

Jacob only smiled at her and kissed her forehead lovingly.

Quickly, I felt a pang of jealousy flooding my body — particularly, my heart.

Interesting…

Too, turning his attention back to me, Jacob was about to bow in greeting when I quickly motioned him not to.

I don't want the girl to know anything about me… not yet.

He looked further confused but do as I say.
