Alphas, Betas & Protectors

4. Drinks before Dress Rehearsal

It was evening and Lorraine was waiting at home hoping that her brother returned home soon to let her go to the dress rehearsal event. She had been good doing all her work listening to her tutors and guards too. He wanted to keep her waiting. It was part of the sanction to wait. She watched as a car entered their driveway and parked in front of mansion. But it was not her brother's car. It was the alpha's car followed by cars belonging to his guards. What did the alpha want? She left her room and walked down the stairs to greet the alpha. He was there for a reason and he had to be greeted by the host at the mansion. As she reached the living room, she saw him standing in the middle of the room. She knew better than to look up. She looked down as she said "Greetings Alpha. My brother is not home right now."

Alpha Gavin walked to her "I am aware. I didn't come to see your brother. I came to see you." He then watched her reaction as she sweetly looked up. She resembled her brother a lot. She was as fierce and dominant.

Lorraine asked "You came to see me?" She sounded taken back.

Alpha Gavin took a seat on a sofa and gestured to the sofa in front of him "Take a seat Lorraine."

Lorraine was hoping her brother was going to come any minute. She didn't like being alone with the alpha. There was something about him that unnerved her. He was quite intimidating and around her he even didn't unleash his waves of authority often. He was a good friend to Lucas so he showed consideration to her. Also since she was a beta wolf, she didn't get as affected as others. But still she didn't feel comfortable. So she cleared her throat "Alpha. May I offer you a drink?." She then walked to the fridge hoping to kill time until her brother got there. Her instinct told her nothing good could come out of talking to the alpha who even though was only eighteen and two years older than her, but was much more powerful.

Gavin raised an eyebrow "Lorraine. I don't want a drink. Besides you don't need to prepare any drinks. Omega servants can do that. Where are your house servants by the way?"

Lorraine put her hand on the fridge handle and turned around "We only ask servants to come once a week to help with cleaning. Our mansion is very big so it's hard for me to clean but I like doing house work. I like cooking a lot."

Gavin frowned "Really? And your brother allows you to do all this work?"

Lorraine shrugged "I just cook. There is hardly anything else that needs doing and I enjoy it alpha." She was looking outside the window hoping her brother arrived soon. The less she talked to alpha about serious things the better. Her brother had been very lenient and liberal at home with her. She didn't want alpha to know and be harsh to him.

Gavin stood up "I think after I finish talking to you, I will have a word with your brother too. Lorraine you are working too hard. If you lived at my home you wouldn't have to do anything except leadership unless you wanted to do it for fun. You shouldn't be making anything unless it's meant for a beta or an alpha."

Lorraine found herself face to face with alphas chest as she turned from the window. She glanced at the fridge composing herself as his closeness was unnerving her "Alpha...I can offer you some milkshake I made this morning. Would you like to try?" She wanted time to pass. She didn't want to argue with the alpha. Challenging his words was not going to end well. She badly wanted to argue.

Gavin nodded "Alright. I don't mind drinking what you made. If you insist."

Lorraine turned to the fridge and pulled the milkshake jug from the fridge. She then walked to the counter.
