True Luna by Tessa Lilly (The Unknown Magic)
The White Wolf Series Book 4 – CHAPTER TWO – F*uck, I Like You
Drake & Amy (Amy’s POV)
My hands were shaking.
Alpha Drake was intimidating, even more so because I had a stupid crush on him.
Not that he would ever feel the same about me. He was an Alpha, and I was nothing. I wasn’t worthy of him.
But how could I not have had a crush on him? He was so handsome. He was funny. He was kind. I got to know him better over the last few weeks, and I liked him. He was a handsome, smart man.
I followed him to the garden behind the packhouse. Unlike the rest of the place, the garden was peaceful. Nobody was around, and before I knew it, Alpha Drake and I were completely alone. I could still hear the voices coming from the packhouse, but no one was close to us.
I was nervous. I started playing with my hair, twisting it, and curling it around my f*ingers. I always did that when I was nervous.
Alpha Drake finally stopped walking. He turned around and looked me up and down.
I shivered.
The nervous feeling was starting to be replaced by fear. Did I do something wrong? He said that there was nothing wrong with the soil. Was I disrespectful? Did I offend him?
I saw his jaw tighten. He gulped and narrowed his eyes a little.
“Do you have a mate?” he asked, his voice raspy.
I shivered again. His voice made me tremble. I didn’t even hear his question.
What did he ask me?
“What?” I mumbled, hoping that he wouldn’t get even angrier at me for not listening to him.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a second.
F*uck. I did anger him.
“Do you have a mate?” he repeated his question.
I forced myself to listen to him this time, and his question surprised me. Did he ask if I had a mate?
A few seconds passed, and I saw him raise his eyebrows at me. He expected an answer.
“I don’t, Alpha Drake,” I said immediately, not wanting to anger him even more.
“I told you not to call me Alpha,” he said.
F*uck. He did tell me that.
“I am sorry,” I apologized.
He sighed and looked me up and down again. I could feel the temperature in my body rising.
‘Focus, Amy,’ Alora mumbled.
‘Iam trying,’ I said. ‘The crush I have on him isn’t helping.’
‘He does smell good,’ Alora mumbled, and I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes.
She was telling me to focus, and she was the one breathing in his scent right now. He smelt nice. He smelt like a forest after rain. It was my favorite smell. I loved running in the forest after it rained.
“Who is that man who asked you out?” Alpha Drake asked me, making me snap out of my thoughts.
I furrowed my eyebrows. Why did he care? First, he asked about my mate, and now about Nick asking me out. Why?
“He is one of Alpha Henry’s warriors,” I answered. “We’ve met a couple of times before.”
Alpha Drake narrowed his eyes.
“What were you going to tell him?” he asked me.
My heart raced. Why did he care?
His dark eyes bore into mine. His scent overpowered my senses. I couldn’t focus.
“What?” I managed to mumble.
“If I didn’t drag you away, would you say yes to his proposal?” he asked.
He didn’t really drag me. He asked if he could talk to me, and I said yes. “No,” I answered.
