Playing With The Alpha

Playing With The Alpha- Chapter 2 pg5

I breathed in and breathed out. He was right. How hard should it be to place this on the counter? I think to myself, looking down at the cake that shook in my hands.

I look up at the wall which had a beautifully design mirror hanging from it. I stared at the girl in it. She looked pale. Her hair a dull brown and her eyes looked lifeless. I despised her. I despised the girl I let myself become.

"The hell with it." I told myself. I forced my legs towards the kitchen and without a second thought I walked in. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me. That small boost of confidence I had flew out the door and I became the weak human girl again.

"I....I was just bringing the cake in." I speak trying to explain my presence. I place it on the counter and turn around to leave.

"Leah?" someone calls out. I stop in my tracks and slowly turn around to face her.

"Hmm?"

"How are you doing?" she ask with a beautiful smile. I envied her beauty and the fact that she was kind. Who could hate someone who's nice and beautiful? I just couldn't hate her no matter what even though I wanted to.

"I'm fine, thank you." I say bowing my head a little before turning to leave a second time.

"Wait where are you going?" she calls out. I secretly curse myself for coming in here. I turn towards her.

"Come here for a second." she waves her hand motioning me to come. I stare at her for a second. Was she serious?

"Yes?"

"It's nice to finally see you out again. You look very nice tonight, doesn't she look nice." she says looking to alpha Randi. I couldn't resist but to look to him for his reaction. I honestly wanted him to be proud at my appearance. He places the hand that wasn't wrapped around Camila's waist into his pocket. His pupils seemed to become larger as he finally looked at me.

"Yes she does look nice, excuse me." his deep but soothing voice sets my heart into a beating mess. He exits the kitchen with others trailing behind him. Camila looked shocked by his action. My nose inhaled his scent, which continued to linger in the air. The small piece of hope I once owned was gone now. How stupid of me to think putting a dress on and curling my hair would change everything.

I finally look back at Camila, "It was nice talking to you." I say to her before finally exiting the kitchen myself.
