Alpha? That's Me

Chapter 14

Zia

My mood was at an all time low by the time I got down the stairs. As I overlooked the arrangements, I kept glancing at the door, waiting for Jack to turn up. I had been on regular contact with my border team, just looking out if he decided to leave without informing me but there had been no such news. When I was relaying instruction to Luke, I suddenly felt him step out. He was a magnificent sight, something for my literally sore eyes. Wearing a white v-neck with dark wash jeans, he looked every bit the powerful alpha he was but his eyes were stormy. They were plain furious. But it only steeled my decision while secretly hoping that he'll stay long enough to hear it. Our rift didn't go unnoticed by our friends.

But as soon as I realized the situation, I sobered up. When Zia approached me and caught my hand, all I could think about was her warmth for a second. But looking into her eyes when she asked me to go with her, I knew somethings were going to change today, drastically. I wasn't sure whether I wanted answers now or not. I didn't want to be abandoned again. I knew I won't be able to take it. But I went with her. I owed it to all the troubles my mum went through to keep her life grounded. I owed it to her...
