My fated alpha by Natalie novel Chapter 19

Hayden

I stared at Garron as my fists clenched in an effort to keep myself from jumping on him. It was his territory but he was beginning to get under my skin.

I saw Madeleine walk towards the packhouse and disappear behind the door. And, that is when I felt as if I had lost something.

I had wanted to hug her one last time, to hold her in my embrace and tell her that everything was okay. But, I had missed that chance.

Even Luke was disappointed with me. All the sorrow and worry were making me want to kill Garron right then and there.

But I kept my cool and reminded him of our talk, “If you don’t send all of your pack members to train, you are answerable to the other alphas.”

He grimaced but could say nothing except nod his head. Despite the little victory, I had over him, I felt anxious to know that it would be days before I would again see Madeleine.

Giving him a stern and loathful look, I stepped in my car and drove away. I was feeling restless and anxious and I didn’t know why. It had been a long time since I had felt the need to protect someone.

The last time I had done that, turned against everyone to claim what I wanted…things had gone awfully wrong.

The thought surprised me. When had Madeleine become so important to me?

Shaking my head, I tried to empty my brain as I drove like a madman. Twisting the car through the narrow lanes, I almost crashed it into a tree but narrowly missed it.

I looked at the wide tree trunk that was just inches away from the car’s hood. It had been a narrow miss and my eyes went wide to notice that.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself as I placed my head on the steering wheel.

I sat there with my eyes closed and thinking of the past and the present, willing myself to not go down the same route as before.

After I had calmed down myself considerably, I decided to turn the car away and drive towards my pack.

It was almost close to evening, and I had not even realized that I had spent half of the day with Madeleine or thinking about her.

Parking my car in the garage, I stepped out of it and was closing the door when I heard Raine call out from the window, “Would you love to have some coffee?”

I raised my head to look at her, “sure”

My head was hammering and I think my sister just knew what I needed- a strong cup of coffee. After locking the garage door, I walked inside my house and sat on the couch.

Ben wanted to talk to me about something based on the anxious look he had given me when I was heading towards the door, but I had signalled him to wait.

I would talk to him later. Coffee came first.

Thus, I sat on the couch with my eyes closed and it was when Luke picked the strong scent of coffee that I opened my eyes. Raine was smiling at me, holding a cup in front of my face.

“You could have simply said something instead of staring at me,” I said while taking the cup from her hand.

She settled in the chair opposite me and took a sip, “Is it too strong?”

I took a sip and answered, “It's perfect.” I answered while smiling at her and even she gave me a hesitant smile.
