Skin of Flames

Chapter 8 : Alpha Miles

Rolling back and forth on the bed, Miles feels the restlessness of his wolf. Not taking it anymore, he sits up and asks his wolf softly   “ What is wrong Klay ?”

“ I don't know,” A voice in his head says; that was his wolf. “ My emotions are going haywire and I don't know why. ”

About to say something, he felt someone trying to reach him through the mind link, he lifts up the barrier blocking him from communicating with his pack and the voice of his beta flows in his mind. “ Alpha, there has been another rogue attack in the border. No one died except the rogues but two of the guards were badly injured. They are in the clinic right now. ”

He let out a frustrating sigh, running his hands through his brown curly hair. “ Thanks Roy, please do make sure foods are sent to all of the guards that were present in the fight. And anytime there is a rogue attack, please do inform me Beta Roy.”

“ I'm sorry, I thought the guards could handle it since you trained them specially and they did. You have a lot in your hands; dealing with the council and your company...”

He cut him off in a stern voice, “ I appreciate you for your concern but don't you ever keep anything from me AGAIN!”

“ Understood Alpha.” His voice came out low.

“ Good, I will be down in a few minutes.” With that, Miles raises the barrier once again.

“ Maybe that is why you felt restless,” He suggests to his wolf.

He feels his wolf lowering his head, lying flat and his voice comes out as a whimper agreeing with his human side. “ Maybe.”

Coming out from the bathroom with water dripping from his hair, a towel tied on his waist. He flinches at the sight of a brunette-plumpish lady seated on his king sized bed—dresses in a black skimpy dress—her legs cross on each other, her olive tone laps visible to him. His eyes darken with lust seeing the pretty lady in his room.

“ What are you doing here Laura ?” He asks, his eyes still on her. That made her smirk proud of the effect she made her alpha feel. She bites her lower lip seductively, standing up to her feet. She makes her way to him while twirling her hair that stop just above her shoulder. Reaching him, she raises her hands to his chest; trailing her fingers on his abs. Her smirk widens hearing his erratic breaths, “ I heard about the rogue attack, I know you are terribly worried and stressed out. So that is why I'm here, to give you a good massage to relieve you.” She tells him, giving his muscular arms a tight squeeze. He chuckles and encircles his hands around her waist; she let out an excited yelp as he draws her closer to him.

“ Really ? The massage will be on the bed too ?” The strands of her hair, he brushes it to the back of her ear. “ Yes it will be my love.” She stands on her toe—since she was six inches shorter than him, he was five foot ten inches tall—she gives him a little peck on his cherry lips. Contrast to her skin, he is fair tone.

He simply smile, releasing his hands and made his way to his closet “ Laura I need to dress.”

“ What ?” She chuckles, folding her hands on her chest. “ It is not like I have not seen anything, anyways that is why I'm here to help you pick the clothes you will be wearing for your meeting.”

He quirks an eyebrow immediately his head snap to her. “ What meeting ?”

Her mouth twitches as she rolls her eyes, “ Please don't tell me you forgot about the meeting.”

“ Okay I won't.” He smiles sheepishly, ransacking through his clothes.

“ You are lucky I'm here, lucky I prepared your file, got the car that will be taking you to your company ready also the cars accompanying you. Everything you need is ready except your clothes.”
