Under My Mates Clutch

chapter 26

What?

'I NEED TO GROW UP'

I can't believe she just said that!!

I thought she might have changed a little or have a little feelings for me, I guess all those staring were just glares. I just couldn't take it any more I needed to get some fresh air or something.

I thought her bringing me here meant something  to her, helping me open the car door and actually sitting down with me before she stood up to leave as always ,meant something well I guess not.

I need some fresh air and decided to at least enjoy some time alone in the garden before I retire to bed. Obviously I don't want to see her again but I have no choice, we are sharing the same room.

For a moment I thought we could  work. I know we might have an age gap in our arrangement but I thought we could still work if she just let the respect and arrogance go.

I was so lost in thought I didn't notice someone behind me.

"Hey pretty boy",  I was so surprised by the sudden closeness of the person voice  by my hear that I almost jumped off the bench I was sitting on.

'why the hell is someone still in here?"

Oh someone like me

I whipped my head to look at the direction of the voice.

Lo and behold stood the most beautiful and attractive person I have ever seen. She looked pretty alright but something about her looks familiar.
Something about her was captivating and alluring at the same time. She had a confident and seductive smile on her face but something just seemed odd.

It wasn't until she moved closer that I
Realized she had  red hair and red eyes ,  which was why I thought she looked familiar to begin with. She had red eyes just like athea but was nothing compared to Althea at the same time.

"Hi" , trying to muster courage to look at her face. I just suddenly felt self conscious and shy all of a sudden.

"What's wrong with me!!

"What are you doing here all alone pretty boy ? With a wide smirk on face like she found me funny, amusing or something.  Something about the way she talks oozes confidence and make me feel uncomfortably and vulnerable.

"You

Are waiting for your gf?  She looked serious like  she's trying to confirm something.

"No, I don't have"  I said trying to recover the  little confidence I have left.

She looked relieved  about something and I don't  know why

"So  what is a pretty guy like you doing on a dark night like this alone?"

For some reason I felt pissed, why do everyone think am the one in danger.
Am a guy for geez sake!

"Excuse me!

"I think I can take care of myself by myself"

"I get it if you think you are not in danger but omega males like you  walking around in the dark where there are high ranking wolves it's not advisable"   she said not even bothered by tone .

I admire her for that.
Something about her also screams power, Now that am talking to her I finally get a chance to look at her closely.

She's wearing all black , a black leather pants,jackets and some silver accessories to complement her simple look. She had her a messy low burn red hair and looked tired but best of all her eyes spoke many words and made me squirm under her intensive gaze.

Her eyes were beautiful and mesmerizing unlike Althea, They were scary  as hell. They both had  different style,she was badass /tomboy while Althea was giving mafia classy look.  Her hands are soft and gentle unlike Althea rough touch.

'wait ! How do I know that?
I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"What the  hell just happened?

Huh !!

"Are you okay? She asked looking at me with those beautiful eyeballs , she looked serious  with a worried look on her face .

"Yh yh am fine" , shyness suddenly creeping back to me. I looked down on the ground with  my hand covering my face.

"I think I should get going" before she could say  anything I just ran off

"Coward!!

I was about to enter my room when one of the servant gave me an invitation card. It was about an important/ special guest the alpha will introducing tomorrow at Breakfast.

Geez when do all this surprises end!!
Can't we just finish the ceremony and go home . This place look like hell to me.

I was hesitant to knock after some while. For some reason I didn't want to see her at all. To my relief she wasn't back yet.
