LUCY.

I was expecting the Alpha would call for my attention, but he didn’t. I walked home toward the packhouse with him trailing behind me.

The house was deserted when we came in, and I was grateful for that because I didn’t know how to face Laira and Lena. I wanted to ask Alpha Stone where I would be staying for the night, but I didn’t want to start any conversation with him at the moment.

So I just walked ahead up the stairs. I saw him switch off the main lights and turn o n the dimmed lamps all over the ground floor before he followed me up the stairs.

As soon as we entered the bedroom, he walked past me and headed for the bathroom. I heard him open the shower, and I just slumped my body down on the single sofa. More than my body, my mind was tired from everything that happened i In the last twenty-four hours. And I was hoping to have a good night’s sleep, but it still depends on the Alpha.

After what felt like an eternity, the bathroom door opened and Alpha Stone stepped out, fully naked, and went directly to the bed as if I didn’t exist.

I stopped my mouth from dropping and my eyes from rounding as I watched him walk like a god toward his side of the bed. Everything about him was massive. And I was too lucky to be able to set my eyes on him this way.

But he kept ignoring me. He slid into the blanket, placing his arms beneath his head and closing his eyes.

I swallowed hard before standing up and heading for the bathroom. Fine, if he doesn’t want to talk, then we don’t need to talk.

I opened the shower and washed, all the

while thinking of ways to make this night bearable. Should I go out of the room and sleep somewhere else? Or should I swallow my pride and sleep beside him?

I was already done, but I still hadn’t made up my mind. A part of me wanted to leave him alone, but a part of me wanted t o stay. I knew I would never feel secure the whole night unless he was around me.

With my hair still slightly damp, I wrapped myself in the towel and just stared at the mirror. I didn’t even have clothes to wear and I just couldn’t get one from his closet since I had no idea how his mind was working at the moment. I let out one deep sigh before I moved and walked out of the bedroom. The Alpha was still in the same position when I left him, still with his eyes closed.

I stood in front of the foot of the bed.

“Alpha…” I tried to soften my voice, even if I was still slightly annoyed with him.

“Hmmm…” he answered without opening his eyes.

“I don’t have clothes to wear.

“In my closet. Wear whatever you’re comfortable wearing while you sleep.”

“I sleep comfortably naked, Alpha,” I told him, wondering if he would react. Because the truth was, I rarely slept naked because I didn’t trust anyone in the orphanage.

“Then sleep naked.” He replied in the same cold voice that irritated me.

I stopped in my tracks and went for the bathroom instead, hanging the towel on the rack before stepping out fully naked. The Alpha’s eyes were still closed, and I was disappointed. I wanted him to see me.

So instead of going directly into my side o f the bed, I went to the end of the bed where I stood earlier and went on all fours, before crawling on my way to my corner – the mattress dipping with my movement and I saw him on my peripherals finally opening his eyes.

I moved to my side with my ass facing him, and I swore I heard his breathing hitch.

“Are you trying to seduce me?” His voice came out hoarsely.

“Are you mad at me?” I asked him back almost immediately as I slipped inside the blanket and rolled on my side, my back facing him.

“I’m not. Are you mad at me?”

“No,” I replied, even though I was still irritated with him.

I felt the mattress dip behind me before his arms slipped under my waist and the others snaked around me, dragging me towards him until my back hit his torso.

“I don’t want to argue tonight, Lucy. My mind is so tired.” His voice came out sad and all the annoyance I felt just vanished.

My mind was tired too. “Me too…”

“Can we just sleep? We can argue again tomorrow.” He sank his head into the look of my neck, and I couldn’t help the smile from curling on my lips. His hold o n my body tightened as his breathing slowed down.

He was falling asleep. I scooted my body closer to his, letting his warmth envelope. my senses and my heart. “Goodnight, Alpha Stone.”

“Goodnight, my Angel…” He said it in almost a whisper before his lips pressed behind my ear. My heartbeat slowed. down as my body relaxed before my eyes slowly shut.

My eyes fluttered, but I kept them closed when I felt warm and wet lips trailing on the skin of my neck while a hand was cupping my bare pussy, a finger brushing against my folds.

I suppressed a smile from forming on my lips as I felt the Alpha’s hard cock probing against my thigh. What time was it anyway? It was still dark.
