Rae’s POV
Oh, my Moon Goddess! I was expecting him to say he wanted me out of the pack, to say that I was going back to the dungeons or that I should not try to steal anything when I went upstairs to help with the cleaning.
Instead, Alpha Erik just offered to help me to read. After I said I didn’t know how to, because I don’t. Knowing a few words is not considered ‘know’, he said he could assist me, if I wanted to.
I had to think for a while before I answered him. If I said no, it would look as if I was being ungrateful, and I was not. And accepting meant I was going to spend more time with him, around him.
Ok, I was afraid of him. After he threatened Aaron, even when the Beta told me it was not serious. I started to see him as some kind of an enemy. Not exactly that, but also not friendly. It was hard to label him. By that, I could say ‘no’.
