I Forgot I Loved You Alpha (Ellie and Nolan) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

“What do you think she’s up to?” the Beta asked conspiratorially.

“What do you mean? Ellie?”

“Her little innocent act earlier–do you think she’s trying to seduce you again? You’ll probably walk in the room and find her in that cheap lingerie she always wore for you.”

“If she’s wearing something like that, it’ll prove she’s faking this whole amnesia thing,” I said coldly. “Then again, she should be ovulating soon, so maybe that has something to do with it.”

I dismissed the Beta with a wave of my hand as we reached the door and walked into my room. Ellie was already in the bed, the covers pulled up over her. Judging by her breathing, she was fast asleep.

I stepped up to the bed, looking at her warily, only to find, as she rolled over and the blanket slipped low, that she was wearing pajamas covered in little cartoon bears that covered every inch of her–baggy, shapeless things.

Whatever her reason for sleeping in my bed, she clearly wasn’t trying to seduce me, and that only left me even more confused.

I woke early the next morning and prepared for the day. Ellie was still fast asleep, and I decided to leave her there. It would be easier to get through my morning meetings without her causing any distractions.

I had to meet with my younger brother today, and it was something I did not look forward to. I had a strained relationship with him- and that was putting it lightly.

My brother, to put it bluntly, was a party boy, never wanting to leave his yacht long enough to take care of pack business. No matter how many times I told him that his presence would benefit the pack, he was likely having another wild party just last night, so I wasn’t surprised to find that he was late.

He only ever came back for major events and pack–wide parties. I’d originally invited him over today to discuss the upcoming party and stay for breakfast, but he made it very clear that he had no intention of spending more time with me than necessary and would leave as soon as he was done with the meeting.

It was probably for the best. The two of us never spent much time together without an argument erupting, and I was stressed out enough dealing with Ellie’s dramatics. I didn’t need to fight with him too.

Still, he was late, so by the time he arrived, breakfast had already been prepared and I had an extra seat set for

him.

He staggered into the room, his blonde hair a tousled mess, his dark eyes filled with irritation as he entered the dining room.

“Good morning,” I greeted formally.

“Don’t know what’s so good about it,” he grumbled to himself as he stared at the table, noting the three plates.

“You expecting someone else?” he asked.

“Ellie, obviously,” I replied, irritated by his attitude.

He scoffed, clearly unimpressed. “You expect me to share a table with that unlovable rogue of yours?”

I fixed my eyes on him coldly. I was becoming irritated with the number of people who felt comfortable mocking Ellie to my face.

It had never bothered me before, but after seeing the reaction of the Moonstone Pack Alpha to Felicity’s open insults, it made me realize that I’d miscalculated.
