The Big Bad Alpha Next Door

15

Bentleys tan tatted skin started to grow hotter and I could feel the anger coming off in waves. I lightly grab his arm in hopes of calming him down just a little

"First of all she is not a mutt, and second of all id like you to meet the new luna" Bentley spoke with such power.
Bentley's dad just started laughing, a few seconds later so did Bentley. What. the. heck. is going on I asked myself.

Finally, after what seems like forever, they both stop laughing and have a conversation in mind link. I stand there awkwardly watching the two men. And then both turn and look at me. I blush under their stares, as Bentley pulls me closer to his side.

"Sorry dear, I was just pulling a good old prank on my son it's nice to meet you," says Bentley's dad, pulling me in for a tight hug.

"It's nice to meet you as well sir"

"Oh nonsense child, call me Robert" Robert now says finishing off the hug.

"You keep my son out of trouble, yeah he's been a lot less stressed with you around," Robert asks.

I smile and nod my head in response looking back up at the two men.

"Well father, we will be back in time for dinner but for now I would like to show Abby around the pack a bit more, and I promised her a coffee." Says Bentley smiling down at me

"Oh why yes, of course, you kids have fun," Robert says.

"It was lovely meeting you!" I say with a huge smile as Bentley gently pulls me softly out towards the door.
Once out of the door Bentley turns to me.

"They loved you," he says beaming, and dropping my hand lightly.

"I sure hope so," I say returning the energy with a smile.

"Let's go get that coffee I owe you, love," he says and we say a long goodbye to nova and walk out the front entrance

As we walk into the village of the king's Palace we pass tons of older buildings that have been there since the 1700s. They mostly looked all the same in terms of building them.

We near a smaller shop at the end of the street. The small shop smelled of fresh pastries and dark rich coffee, I stop to admire the shops tinted windows and all the people who buzzed with life Inside them.

The king also stops to look at the shop, he admires the old beat up shop.

"The best cafe in town," he says holding before for looking back up walk in.

"I'll see about that haha," I say giggling and thanking him for opening up the door for me.
We find a quiet booth near the back of the shop with amazing dimmed lights and comfortable seating.

After sitting, the waitress comes to our table and hands us the dark green menus.
I instantly scan over the menu and decide on a medium double-double coffee. The king just gets a plain old black coffee. Not surprising.

"So time to get to know each other," he says with a serious but cute look on his face.

"Okay, well what do you want to know," I ask putting my hands on my lap and looking up at him.

"Let's just start with the basics, I'll go first," he says with now a small smile on his face.

"What's your favourite colour?"

"Light green," I say smiling even bigger

"Why green?"

"It's just a calming colour if that makes sense, trees are green, the grass is green, it's a really pretty colour" I respond with my head up looking at Bentley, with a smile dancing on my lips.

"What's your favourite thing to do," I ask

"I like to paint," Bentley says lowly
I was taken by surprise. Who knew the big bad alpha king liked to paint!?

"Paint, Really, what kind of stuff do you like to paint?" I ask leaning on the table intrigued on what he will say next

"You" is all he says as he keeps his eyes on mine the whole time. My eyes go wide as all he does is continue to look into my eyes. I start to blush and lower my head as I feel my heart start to race.

A smirk grows on his lips as he finally stops staring at me all to look at the waiter coming back to us with our coffee. The waitress bows down and hands us our coffees without a word. Bentley quickly changes the question before I can fuss about it.

"What do you like to do, Kitten?" He asks yet again with a smirk while taking a sip of his plain old boring black coffee.

"I like to read, like a lot, I could get lost in a book for days," I say, remembering all the times I would fall asleep in the local library lost in some romance book I found on the dusty shelves. The king simply looks kind of shocked, like he's never heard anything like it.

"Would you rather be in wolf form or human?" I ask as another question. He stops for a moment looks outside the window before looking back up into my eyes.

"I like wolf form better, I feel very free and powerful that way," he says with his eyebrows clenched as if in deep thought.

" I like It that way too, " I say clenching his hand with a smile bright on my face. He looks at his hand watch quickly before speaking again.

"When did you become Alpha?" I ask before taking a sip of my coffee.

"I was 18" he says watching me intently

"What is your opinion on mates?"
I look up at Bentley searching his eyes. As I think about the now difficult question. How did I feel about mates? I felt at ease knowing that I have mine even though he's kind of an Asshole. I feel happy when people talk about their mates.
"I think that if 2 different souls are made for each other then thoses souls shall be together" i tell him
"Why did you lock me in the cells?"

He looks up at me this time with swirls of different emotions in his eyes.
"Because I don't take well with attitude from anyone, mate or not there will be punishments for bratty behaviour" he says while looking mischievously into my eyes daring me to show an explanation. I sit there with deep red cheeks and my hands on my lap, jaw open.

"As much as I loved this short but sweet talk, I have some pack stuff I need to take care of back at the house. You can come with me or I will have my beta give you a tour before we dine with my parents tonight." He says with a sad smile. I hide my disappointment and agree to go on a tour before we have a meal with his family.

The king bid me goodbye before he runs out the cafe's doors and hops into his truck and races off leaving me watching his dust, waiting for the beta.
