The Alpha's Bloodline [Completed ]

Chapter 6. "Let's get it out of our system."

A week later. . . .

Carla's POV

It's been a week since Gio rejected me. All I did the entire week after, was hook-up with different guys--who were once my suitors--and then gallop drink after drink in self pity, down in the wine cellar.

It's strange how every night I'd be good as dead after continuous consumption of alcohol but still somehow, I always end up in my bed tucked in securely with the duvet covering me.

It's not like I could recollect on who brought me to my room the other day when I sober up considering how bad my alcohol tolerance is--one of the reason I drink, to forget everything that's wrong with my life.

Maybe Danny simply brings me back to my room? Or a servant took pity in me and dropped my drunken ass on my bed? I shouldn't be thinking too much.

Talking about Danny....

Daniel and Ariana are in Veneton along with Ariel and the others to meet Claire, an ancient royal witch and also Danny's best friend.

Apparently, Anthony's pack faced a rogue attack at midnight on the day Gio rejected me. According to Anthony, the rogues had yellow eyes and were faster and agile like they trained a lot---his words, not mine. This peeked Ariel and Daniel's interest since yellow-eyed rogues existed only in the ancient times and were already banished and extinct. So, they all went to Claire--since she was the only existing ancient left--to ask her more information regarding those rogues.

The problem here is, now I'm all alone with the man who broke my heart, in this huge castle. And the only thing I do to keep myself away from Anthony and all the painful memories along with him is avoid him and indulge in other activities, if you know what I mean.

Currently, I'm heading out of my room to meet David Arnold. He is the north-eastern pack's alpha's son. We have this 'no-strings-attached' kind of relationship ever since the baby. . . .

Don't go down that lane again, Carla. Just Don't.

David admitted once that he liked me but we both knew that he had a mate out there so we agreed on keeping the feelings aside. It felt so wrong of me at times to even be in a chivalrous relationship with him but I just can't seem to find another way to get out of my impending thoughts. Sometimes it's scary where my thoughts lead me to. And I desperately needed the distraction, no matter how wrong it felt.

Pushing those memories aside, I make my way to where David is waiting for me near the entrance.

David smiles at me the moment I'm in front of him and pulls me in an embrace.

"I missed you, my darling." He murmurs against my hair before pulling back with a grin.

I stare at him blankly and he pouts like a two-year-old, "Come on, not even a miss you too?"

"David..."

"Yeah, no feelings involved. I get it," he sighed before hooking his arm with mine, "But you could offer me dinner, you know. I'm famished. I came directly from the boring Alpha conference with my father. Just for you." He winks at me.

I shake my head with a small smile at his obvious flirting. David is a nice guy. Before we started this whole 'fling thing', he was like my best friend. Still is. Although for him, it's different. I just hope this whole ordeal doesn't lead him on.

"Let's have dinner in the kitchen. Everyone's in Veneton except me and--" I stop myself mid-sentence.

"And?" He quips his head in curiosity.
