Alpha Amanda's Love Adventure (By Aurora Grey) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Who You Really Are

Samson’s POV:

I stayed quiet for a moment, then told the driver, “Stop at that cake shop we just passed.

The driver nodded, turned the car around, and parked in front of it.

Amanda practically jumped out, slamming the door so hard that it rattled, then darted inside like a tiny, restless animal.

“Boss, I want this one, and this one oh, and that one too!” she said, her energy so quick and bright it almost looked cute.

When I walked in, she was on her tiptoes picking cakes. She glanced back at me. “Why’d you get

out too?”

“I’m hungry as well. Problem with that?” The words slipped out before I realized it-even though I wasn’t actually hungry.

She blinked, then waved it off. “Sure, whatever.”

Then she spun back to the cashier. “Make that two of everything!”

When she handed me the bag, my fingertips brushed the back of her hand-cool from holding the cakes straight from the display. I frowned. I’d never really liked sweets.

“Don’t overthink this,” she said quickly, probably seeing the look on my face. “It’s just a thank- you for you and your family taking Aunt Susan out for dinner. If the cake’s too small, I’ll take you out for a big feast next time.”

I took the bag, saying flatly, “No need.”

She didn’t argue. She just bent her head and dug right in.

The fork dangled from her mouth as she ate, casual and unbothered. Cream smeared her lip, but she didn’t care. She looked like a wild cub finally getting its favorite treat.

Watching her like that brought back other memories.

The time she stumbled into the wrong room, and I felt her skin, which was way too smooth for someone who did hard labor.

At the physical challenge, the speed she hit at the finish line left even Camilla behind.

In the warehouse, where she escaped ropes and fought Levi, a grown Beta.

Chapter 24 Who You Really Are

Finished

And now today, her aunt, the diplomat, who showed up out of nowhere….

The pieces clicked in my mind. One blurry thought started to make sense-the Glacier Pack’s rarely seen female successor Alpha… her last name was Lamb.

Rumor said this young Alpha had huge power, but her wolf spirit was unstable, which was why the ceremony kept getting delayed.

Could Amanda … really be her?

But if she was that Alpha, why hide as an Omega, why come to Eclipse Pack at all?

I studied her profile as she bent over while eating cake. “Amanda,” I said, my voice unusually clear in the quiet night, “are you—”

Amanda’s POV:

Samson barely started before I guessed what he was about to say, and I cut him off fast, lifting my head sharply. “Samson, I want to thank you.”

He froze, the sharp curiosity in his eyes softening. “For what?”

“For always being there.” I poked the strawberry on my cake with my fork, my voice low. “That time in the warehouse, and today too … You always look like you don’t care, always with that cold face, but I know you’ve been worried about me.”

He didn’t say anything and just looked at me.

The light slipped across his lashes, casting a thin shadow. In his deep eyes was something I couldn’t name.

The air went quiet. All I could hear was my own heartbeat, pounding hard.

“Amanda, he’s looking at you!” Alice screamed in my head. “The vibe is all wrong! Say something-fast!”

I was about to blurt out a random topic to break the tension when the back window rolled down. The driver leaned his head in. “Mr. Ortega, Ms. Lamb, if you’re done, we should head back. It’s late.”

Reality hit, heat rushing to my cheeks. I shoved the last strawberry in my mouth. “Okay, okay, let’s go!”

Samson didn’t move right away. He handed his barely touched cake back to the staff. “Please box this up.”
