Chapter 14

My ear strained waiting to hear the sound of water hitting the floor as I stood in front of the Alpha's closed door. Surely, the sound came like i anticipated and I breathed a sigh of relief. Good, now I just need to clean the room before he finish in there. Easy peasy...i hope.

The door creapt open slowly as I tiptoed inside, conscious of every single sound that I made in the process. I dropped the cleaning supplies in the middle of the room, taking in the immaculate decor of the room.

From what I've seen so far, the Alpha is a very organized person so there wasn't much to do in the room . Just laying of the bed, dusting tge non existent dust from the shelf and window bars, then of course —sweeping and moping the floor.

I got to work immediately, starting with the huge king sized bed covered with black bed spread.

You know the saying —time flies like a thief in the night...well it did. I was so engrossed in tge last part of my work that I didn't hear the shower water stop running. I didn't even notice the silence that had settled in the room until the bathroom door creaked open slowly...or maybe that's how I played it in my mind.

I didn't turn...not because of I didn't want to—but because I couldn't. Goddess! Am I still breathing. My heart at the moment was beating so fast and I literally started calculating in my mind on how I can make a dash for it before he steps out of the bathroom.

Maybe I overestimated my luck...or I don't even have any at all but immediately I turned back, he stepped out of the door, naked.

Or...maybe not so naked but with a grey towel wrapped around his waist. His toned, muscular other half part of his body was wet and in display for my innocent eyes. I notice a small, ink in this chest area—obviously a tattoo but I couldn't figure out the drawing.

My eyes swept up to his face and met his eyes that were on me the entire time. My face flushed and I quickly diverted my eyes to the nearest object. " I-i-i am almost done". I muttered, looking everywhere but him.

"Mmmn".

I turned back to the window, absentmindedly continuing what I was doing....but I couldn't concentrate —not with his eyes drilling hole in my back .

My hand moved in lazy circles across the window pane, rag in hand and my thoughts in...the gutter. Seriously, I should've rushed things and not lose track of time. He's probably dressed now...I hope. Is he even? Because I can still feel his eyes on me. Am I imagining things?

My mind drift back to the small tattoo I noticed on his chest. What could it be? He doesn't have any ink on him apart from that one and ohhh his chest... they're so toned and .. Goddess!!!!, Mara get out of my head!!!!

The cloth slipped from my finger without me noticing and I continued wiping my hand on the window glass. My hand brushed the corner of the glass—

"Shit!"

I yanked my hand back, stumbling a step as a sharp sting bit into my palm. Blood immediately line out and before I could even take a breath in, my hand was already snatched and a thick brown hair came to my sight.

Sparks erupt from my hand down to the whole part of my body making me jolt. I quickly snatched my hand back from him, holding it to my chest. It wasn't that much of a big deal but the way his eyes keenly stared at it made me feel...to much.

I took a step back when I realized how close we were and that seemed to snap him out from whatever haze he was.

His jaw tightened as he finally diverted his eyes from my still bleeding hand to my face ," You should get that treated". He paused " And be careful while going out. I don't want blood on my tiles".

Of course...of course. I bowed my head before picking up the cleaning supplies and making my way out of the room

_Alpha Kaelith _

The Alpha watched her retreating figure, his hand clenched at his side—fighting every fiber of his being telling him to care for her —for her injury.

He ran his fingers through his hair frustratedly. What is it with her and why does her presence affect him so much. It's driving him mad how he longed for her, how his wolf longed for her—tho the motherfucker always goes silent in her presence.

And now that he knows she's hurt, his wolf won't be able to rest till he knows she's alright. He could already feel kale pacing in his head.

"It isn't even my business.... why am I so worried?. She was the one that wasn't concentrating on what she was doing. Is she dumb? Why would she be cleaning the window with her bare hands."

"You could've at least ask if she was ok. What was that ?You don't want blood on your tiles?" Kale snarled back

"Have you gone senile? As if she was ok? Why would I care if she's ok or not? Remember she's from Bastian's pack? I'll take pleasure in her being hurt than ask if she is ok. "

"Then why did you run over to her when she got injured? Or why were you taken aback when she flinched earlier during lunch? "

"I wasn't " he grits out, his teeth clenching" I just didn't want to cause a scene in front of Ryan's new mate."

Kale scoffed mockingly "As if you care about that"

His mind drift back to her . Fuck, she'll be alright, right? She doesn't even have a wolf, how in hell will she heal fast. And why doesn't she even look pained about the injury —does it not faze her?. Why won't it faze her? Unless she ...

No, why does he even care
