Alpha Amanda's Love Adventure (By Aurora Grey) novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Something Was Definitely Off

Amanda’s POV:

Finished

Just when I was about to lose it, a calm, steady voice cut through, and I forced Alice back down inside me-Hugh had come home from his trip.

For his sake, I swallowed the fire in my chest and said calmly, “Hugh, it’s nothing. Just a little misunderstanding.”

That fool, Josh, thought I’d backed down and immediately started tattling. “Grandpa! This country bumpkin tossed Samson’s jacket straight into the trash! I told her to just apologize, but she acted all ungrateful!”

“Shut your mouth, you brat!” Hugh smacked him hard on the head, then turned toward me with a warm smile, his eyes full of apology. “Amanda, what really happened?”

Looking into his kind, grandfatherly eyes, most of my anger slipped away. “Samson told me to throw it away, but Josh misunderstood.”

Right then, Samson walked up, drawn by all the noise. After hearing me, Josh spun toward him, shocked. “Samson, is that true?”

Samson nodded, his voice flat. “Yeah.”

Hugh looked pleased, then turned his sharp eyes back on Josh. “You heard him. Now apologize to Amanda.”

Josh’s whole face turned red, and he glared at me as if I had bullied him. Only after Hugh pushed him again and again did he finally grind out the word through clenched teeth. “Sorry.”

I sneaked a glance at Samson beside me, remembering how he’d handed me that jacket yesterday. Suddenly, it hit me that maybe tossing it in the trash wasn’t the smartest move. My heart sank a little, and I muttered quietly, “It’s okay.”

“Get along better from now on,” Hugh said, patting my shoulder, his voice heavy with meaning. “I’m still hoping Amanda will become the future Luna of our Eclipse Pack.”

Inside, I wanted to roll my eyes. Get along better? Yeah, right. Good luck with that.

Especially with Josh, who was still glaring at me like he wanted to kill me. Alice snickered inside me, “Him? He thinks he can actually mess with you?”

Chapter 11 Something Wis finitely off

the angrier I got.

Who did she think she was? Some backwoods Omega, daring to act tough?

And she even waved a check in my face! Probably fake anyway.

I was sure I’d find a way to knock her down a peg.

Early this morning, with dark circles under my eyes, I dragged myself downstairs. The maid was mopping and warned, “Mr. Josh, the floor’s slippery. Be careful.”

“I know,” I muttered, rubbing my temples when, suddenly, a nasty idea popped into my head.

I turned back with my most innocent face. “Hey, could you bring me a bucket of water?”

She brought one fast, looking confused.

I dumped the whole thing across the stairs. Then I leaned in and told her slowly. “Don’t clean the stairs yet. Wait till I finish breakfast.”

She didn’t dare argue. This wasn’t the first time I’d pulled something messed up.

Ha. Right now, Amanda was the only one upstairs. That puddle was guaranteed to send her flying.

Just picturing her arms and legs flailing in the air made me grin.

I ducked behind a pillar in the living room, waiting. It didn’t take long before Amanda came down-and she just happened to run into Samson.
