Alpha Amanda's Love Adventure (By Aurora Grey) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 She’s Not So Simple

Alan’s POV:

The cold flash of the knife hit my eyes before I could even react.

It wasn’t until a raw force yanked me to the side, my back slamming against the stage railing, that I heard the ripping sound of fabric tearing.

Amanda stumbled back a half-step, a cut opening across her arm, bright blood sliding down her forearm in a steady line.

“She’s bleeding!” Vincent’s voice cracked with panic.

I froze, staring at that streak of red, my mind completely blank.

In that split second, the way she had lunged-the speed, the precision-was nothing like a normal Omega. It was sharp and fast … like a trained fighter.

“You okay?” I rushed forward. My voice shook before I even noticed.

She only smiled at me, her brows curved, subtly hiding the wound. “Handle your exchange first.”

The audience below was already in chaos, pack representatives whispering while the fake knife- wielding server was pinned by security.

I took a deep breath, lowered my voice into the mic, and announced, “Today’s exchange is suspended. Eclipse Pack will investigate this and update everyone.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Samson pushing through the crowd, his face as cold as ice.

I didn’t care about him. I steadied Amanda and guided her backstage. Strange enough, her wound almost looked like it was fading.

Doubt pricked me. How could she have an Alpha’s healing ability?

But I couldn’t sense her wolf spirit.

Forget it. I’d figure it out later. I hurried her toward the back.

Suddenly, one of my men rushed in. “We tracked it. Someone from Blackrock Pack sneaked in. They’ve hated our cooperation with Silvermoon Pack from the start.”

“Useless!” I kicked a chair, sending it crashing. “How does security at an interpack exchange let someone sneak in with a blade?”

The man hunched in fear. “Sorry, they forged an allied pack badge-”

“Enough.” Samson’s voice cut in.

He stood in front of Amanda, eyes locked on her like a wolf sizing up prey. Each step pressed the air heavier, making it hard to breathe. “I’ll take her to the med bay. You clean up your own

mess.”

Before he even finished, he scooped Amanda into his arms. She gasped and grabbed his shirt instinctively.

I watched them walk away, my chest tightening with something I couldn’t name.

A man shoved a phone at me-the screen lit up with pack forums. Photos of Amanda pulling me to safety had already spread. The comments were vicious.

This girl did it on purpose. She’s just trying to get close to Alan.

Look at her plain face-she’s chasing status.

Maybe she was the one who brought Blackrock here!

My man rubbed his hands together. “Want me to have PR draft a statement, say that—”

“No.” I grabbed the phone, fingers flying across the keyboard. I typed a clan notice. Amanda saved my life. What happened today has nothing to do with her. Anyone spreading lies— Eclipse Pack won’t let it slide.

Vincent chuckled in my mind. “This is the first time you’ve gone public for an Omega.”

My man nearly jumped out of his skin. “Alan! We’re in critical talks with Silvermoon Pack! Do this now, and they’ll use it against us!”

“Shut up.” I shot him a cold glance. “If I can’t protect the person who saved me, I don’t deserve to be an ambassador.”

He froze, as if he’d never seen me serious.

Scrolling the comments, I remembered her smile earlier-arm still bleeding, eyes bright and steady, no fear. She looked more real and unshaken than all those polished, pretentious Omegas in the ballroom.

It had been a long time since anyone faced me like that. No hidden motives. No angle. No asking for anything. Just taking the hit, even if it meant bleeding.
