*****Alex’s POV*****
I had not intended to blurt those words to her, they had just come out. I did not know what had prompted me to say it. Maybe it was seeing her again. Watching her move as gracefully and confident as she used to. Though she was confident and graceful in her movement, there was this gentleness that could not be overlooked.
It was there. In her every step, her poises and stances. I had missed the way she talked and that face of hers. I had no idea what I had been missing until now. I might had sworn to fight her for what she did to Seren, but that had barely registered in my mind as soon as I saw her.
I found myself staring at her, waiting for her reaction. I was waiting for her response. She had changed, I could see it, I needed no soothsayer to tell me that.
There was this powerful aura that she exhibited and the authority that oozed off of her in great waves. I could only stare at her in respect and awe. It had barely been three weeks but I could see the changes. Everything that had changed in her and around her.
“Is this some sort of joke, Alpha Robertson?” She crooked a displeased brow.
“I’m sorry, it’s not joke.” I quickly apologized. I was at her mercy. Without her, there would barely be anything left of my pack. When I had said I missed her, I had not been lying but I really need her regardless.
The chances of her accepting me back was zilch, the way we had separated was not cordial, there had been this coldness already existing between us. And after the incident with Seren, it had gone from worse to worst.
“Is this why you called me? Is this why you asked to see me privately?” She questioned, her eyes were hardened.
“No, it’s not. Believe, it was not my intention to say that.” I tried to defend myself.
“Then why did you?” Her expression was stoic and unsmiling. She seemed to be really pissed.
“I don’t know, it just came out. I’m really sorry.”
“I do not think I can help you if you continue to play un-serious. I am busy, I have a pack to run.” She pointed out bluntly.
Fear took hold a bit, I could not afford losing her help. Iron Claw was the only hope I had when I came here. I could not afford for leave here without the agreement of her helping me.
Noir was determined to ruin my pack and I would not let it happen, hence, I needed to be careful with my words henceforth. Feelings aside, I needed to do what I had come to do in the first place.
“I’m truly sorry, forgive my manners. I would endeavor to girdle my tongue as we go on. Please, let’s ignore what I had just said like it never happened.” I pleaded.
I had no choice but to plead, that was the only way out for me. I could not afford to annoy her, she was my lifesaver at this point. Her pack was the only pack that could destroy Thunderpaw.
Her hard gaze was unrelenting. “I think we should make some things clear here, Alpha Robertson. You and I have nothing personal in common, whatever that used to exist was long gone. It has ended and has been dissolved before the public.”
