Alpha Amanda's Love Adventure (By Aurora Grey) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Meet Me at the Stairwell

Amanda’s POV:

I was just about to head downstairs when I ran straight into Samson.

He stepped to the side, quietly making space for me to go first.

“Thanks.” I started down, but after only two steps, my foot slipped.

There was a whole puddle of water on the stairs!

My body flew backward, totally out of control-but instead of crashing into the ground, I fell into someone’s arms. His embrace carried the faint smell of pine.

I jerked my head up and smacked right into Samson’s deep, shadowed eyes. My face burned instantly, heat rushing so fast that it felt like fire. I shoved him away, flustered, and spun to leave.

“At the party yesterday, helping you was Grandpa’s orders.” His voice came from behind me, calm and cold. “Don’t get the wrong

idea.”

The wrong idea?

I thought he’d done it out of instinct, maybe even because of me. Why was my mate so cold and distant?

I sucked in a deep breath, forcing down the sting in my chest, and turned back with a smile. “Don’t worry, Mr. Ortega. I know my place.” Then, just to push his buttons, I added, “But if you keep saving me like this, what if one day I lose control and cross the line?”

Samson didn’t answer. He just walked into the dining room, ignoring Josh, who was standing there frozen in shock.

Seeing Josh’s stupid face, I didn’t need to think twice-it was definitely his prank.

That little brat. I’d teach him a lesson soon enough.

I shot him a glare, then walked into the dining room too.

The second I sat down, Hugh smiled at me. “Amanda, let Samson take you and Josh to school later.”

Josh’s face twisted up. “I don’t wanna go with her!”

“You don’t get a choice.” Hugh cut him off with a sharp glare.

Chapter 12 Merit Me at the face!!

Josh bit into his bread so hard that it looked as if he wanted to kill it, his cheeks puffing up an angry hamster.

His plan had failed, and now, he was stuck riding with me. His eyes were practically spitting

hatred.

And sure enough, that morning, a transfer student appeared in our class.

“Hey, everyone. I’m Josh.”

The boy on stage smiled like an angel, and the whole room blew up. Even Camilla Cunningham-the usually icy top student, and one of the female Alpha candidates from Polar Pack-let out a quiet, “Damn, he’s hot.”

I had been napping at my desk, but the second I heard that annoying voice, my irritation spiked. I lifted my head and scowled. Of course. The clingy shadow I couldn’t shake.

“I’ll sit here.” Josh walked straight to the empty seat beside me, dropped down, and leaned close with a sly grin. “Hey.”

I gripped my pen and ignored him, but he just kept poking. “What, you mute now?”

When I still didn’t answer, he started bouncing around in his seat, acting like some restless wolf

pup.

It wasn’t until wolf spirit basics in the afternoon that the teacher clapped her hands. “Next Friday, we’ll have a physical challenge. Events include an obstacle course and a weighted cross- country. If you’re interested, sign up after class.”

Suddenly, Josh elbowed me. “Amanda, how’s your fitness?”

“Just enough to scrape by,” I muttered, annoyed.

His eyes lit up, and before I could stop him, his hand shot up. “Amanda says she wants to sign up for the challenge!”

The whole classroom exploded.

“Her? A country Omega who doesn’t even have a wolf spirit?”

“Why is she signing up?”

Even the teacher frowned, trying to be kind. “Amanda, the trials are tough. Maybe you should sign up next year.”

That soft rejection stabbed at me, sharp enough to make my temples throb.
