Think Again Alpha

Chapter 38

I yawn and nuzzle my head into something hard and smooth. A smile creeps onto my face as my eyes flutter open to find Jayden holding me. To my surprise, he is already staring down at me, awake.

"You really are cute when you sleep," he comments. My cheeks blush.

"I'm surprised you woke up before me." I comment and yawn, I cover my mouth with my hand.

"Tired?" He asks with his sexy smirk.

I giggle and nuzzle my head into his chest, "tired and sore thank you very much. Now be a good boy and cuddle with me."

He laughs at that and tightens his arms around my naked body. Feeling his body warm and against mine, I find myself drifting off again. He gently kisses the top of my head.

"Come on, no falling back asleep. We need to get to the pack house soon. My dad wants to talk to us and your Mom. Probably about Manus." He says.

I sigh. I totally forgot about Manus. And now I need to see the Alpha, who, let me remind you, hates me. This is going to be a wonderful morning.

"Fine, let me get ready for the day and we can go..." I complain.

-------------------------------

Mom, Jayden and myself get to the pack house by noon. We go straight to the Alpha's office.  My heart beats nervously. I know Jayden and I didn't fully mate last night, but basically the only thing we have left to do is for him to mark me. But I'm nervous that his dad is going to find out. I mean I know there is no way for him to find out, but what if he does? Will he kick me out of the pack for breaking his rule? I mean I know I didn't fully break his rule, but I broke most of his rule which was to not mate with Jayden. What would happen if I go kicked out of the pack? Would Jayden leave with me or would he stay? Ugh I don't want to think about this...

Jayden must sense my discomfort, because he wraps my hand in his own. I look up at him nervously and he smiles gently and gives my hand a reassuring squeeze. Telling me I shouldn't be worrying. I sigh and try to calm down. I mean having him around me is calming me, but I'm still nervous. His dad is the Alpha after all.

Mom knocks on the door.

"Come in," the Alpha announces after a moment.

Mom opens the door and we file in after her. Jayden closes it behind us and we wander in. There are only two seats. Jayden motions for both my Mom and myself to sit. We thank him and comply. I release Jayden's hand so that I can sit down. The Alpha straightens up and then I notice his wife standing beside him at his desk. She smiles at me sweetly and I blush but smile back. She's so nice, how did she end up being mates with this grouchy Alpha?

"I'm glad you guys could make it." The Alpha says to us.

"It's our pleasure sir," my Mom says.

"So I'm sure you have an idea of what this meeting is about... Manus. It appears that the intel we received was actually a trick planned by Georgia and Manus. They had a plan the whole time to capture you Sophia, and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to get there early. We should have read through the deception of the fake intel."

Woah, woah, woah. The Alpha just apologized to me? Something's wrong.

I throw my hands up at chest level and wave them, "oh there's no need to apologize sir, it was my mistake for trusting Georgia in the first place, I didn't realize that not only was she working with Manus but she was his mate as well."

Jayden cuts in, "woah, Georgia was his mate? Isn't she our age and he is your age dad?" He asks the Alpha.

The Alpha nods, "yes, the fates work in odd ways. But we got them locked away. When the elites heard about Manus's escape, they ordered for him to be held in their prison. So he is being sent to be in their care. I also wanted to let you know Sophia that I will no longer be needing you to testify against Manus. He has committed so many crimes and Georgia has agreed to tell the truth to the elites in order for her to get a lesser sentence. I don't want to put you through any more trouble than you've been through these past few months."
