Free Web NovelChapter 20: Rich Alpha
Liam’s POV:
I stood there alone, doing nothing but staring since that’s the only thing I could do as I watched that guy...
tall, might be 6’4 or 6’5 feet tall, blond, short hair, ripped, tanned, blue or maybe green eyes I can’t tell exactly, looks rich and fancy just like everyone in this party.
Anastasia did not make much effort, this woman did not even look in his direction, she just nodded and took the last sip of her wine before grabbing another glass from the tray and was about to walk away,
when her mother laughed awkwardly and spoke to catch her attention " Sweetheart, aren’t you going to say hi to your old friend. This is Scott. Please say hi and shake his hand."
Finally, Anastasia looked at the guy’s face.
He looked so excited and content to be here in the same house as my mate.
" Hi," Anastasia uttered while shaking his hand.
I could not help but grit my teeth when I noticed how excited he got while touching her hand.
From his body language, as a man, I can tell how much he likes her which only angers me more.
" Hi, Anastasia. I really missed you." Missed her? Dude, she doesn’t even remember who you are just fuck off for God’s sake.
I narrowed my fist around the handrail as I watched how Anastasia nodded and let go of his hand before walking toward her dad who complimented how pretty she looked.
Alexander tried to make himself as small as possible while watching his sister with his big doe eyes, looking at her with shine in his eyes, anyone could tell how much he loved her and how much he saw her as his role model and everything he wants to be in the future and this is just so adorable.
" I’m so sorry about her. She doesn’t know about second-chance mating, she hasn’t considered it yet. So please be patient. Anastasia can sometimes be very stubborn." I heard Elisabeth apologize to Emelia and her son and explain the fact that Anastasia has literally no clue about the fact that Elisabeth is planning her second chance mating.
" It’s okay, alpha. I’m a pretty patient guy especially when I really like someone." Scott said that with a grin on his face.
His smile disgusted me because it looked like one of those wanna-be bad boys and players in middle school.
It has been a couple of hours since Anastasia welcomed the new guests and sent all of them to her mother to deal with while she stayed with her dad.
" Did you meet your friend Scott?" Anastasia’s father asked while serving her another glass of wine since the one that she grabbed earlier was done already.
She quietly took a sip of her new glass before monotonously answering her question " Yes." She paused to gulp down the whole glass and glare at her father " And dad, that guy isn’t my friend and has never been my friend. Whatever you and Mom are planning better stop it because my answer is no."
Oh my God.
Have I mentioned before how much I love this woman?
She is so smart.
No wonder she is the head alpha.
Her father’s facial features dropped as he speechlessly watched her giving the empty glass to the servant and grabbing another one before angrily heading to the kitchen.
On her way, that Scott guy tried to talk to her but she just passed by him like he was not even there. freēwebnovel.com
Oh and how much I love the way that smile that was on his face vanished.
I smirked as I snuck downstairs and headed to the kitchen which is where I found Anastasia standing alone there and still drinking her wine.
How many glasses has she consumed?
" Alpha?" I called out as I paced closer, standing right behind her, breathing her intoxicating pheromones.
I heard the sound of the glass hitting the counter as Anastasia slowly turned around, facing me while leaning her back on the counter.
" Are you okay?" I asked in worry as my gaze averted, noticing how she was holding onto the counter with her hands and looking at me without saying anything.
" Would you like me to bring you to your room, alpha?" I asked again in a soft tone, she shook her head.
She does not want to go to her room.
I nodded understandingly and brought her a glass of water " Can you drink this?" She is drunk I can easily tell from her dozy eyes.
She nodded and let me touch her chin as she opened her mouth when I placed the rim of the glass on her lips, slowly pouring small amounts of water until she drank half the glass.
" Would you like me to do anything else for you?" I carefully wiped away the rest of the water on her lips and waited for her to answer my question.
Anastasia nodded while still standing in the exact same position and holding onto the counter " The heels. Take them off."
" Okay, but you can’t walk barefoot after. I’ll bring your slippers right away after that." I spoke before squatting in front of her.
I gulped as I lifted my hand to grab the first shoe, and gently took it off her foot.
I need to be careful for two reasons, first I don’t know much about heels but I do know that they hurt which is why I will do it as gently as possible and second I know for a fact that those heels are worth more than my life.
I took the first heel and went to take her other heel off before standing while holding those heels in my hands " I’ll go get you something to put on for now."
I was about to walk away when Anastasia suddenly fell on my chest.
I immediately held her body, feeling an electric shock running through my body, my eyes almost came out of their places.
" A...Alpha?" My limbs trembled as I put the heels on the counter and carefully wrapped one of my arms around her waist as my free hand moved to softly cup her face and lifted it up so that I could see what was wrong with her.
Her eyes were half closed with a confused knot on her brows.
My heart is racing but I have to hold myself together for her.
" Alpha are you still with me?" I asked as I gently caressed her jaw.
I can’t believe I’m actually holding her body in my arms and touching her face.
If I’m dreaming don’t wake me up.
She groaned and lifted her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose " I’m fine."
Right after she said, she tore her body away from mine slowly and attempted to walk out of the kitchen only to lose her balance and flop back right in my arms because I kept walking behind her just in case.
" I’m carrying you. I’m sorry if this will piss you off tomorrow but I can’t keep watching struggling to walk like this." After I said this I grabbed her heels from the counter and easily lifted her in my arms, bridal style.
I expected her to try to resist me but what she did made me freeze.
Anastasia smoothly moved her arms, wrapping them around my neck, and buried her face in my neck.
Now, this might seem like a normal move for humans in order not to make the one carrying, carry all the body weight but this is not a normal thing here.
First of all, we are supernatural, I can lift a whole bus if I want to, and second, pushing her head like this into someone’s neck is a pretty intimate thing.
Neck in general is a pretty intimate area in the werewolf world since this is where we mark our mate during sex.
And I have never ever had anyone this close to my neck and having my own mate this close... turned my legs into jelly.
For a second I felt all my supernatural strength vanish but I was able to stop myself from getting carried away.
There is one way to the stairs and it is through the room where everyone is gathered.
I’m going to try to sneak to the stairs without anyone noticing us but I doubt this will work.
And I was right.
Because the second I stepped a foot out of the kitchen everyone looked at me... Well looked at us.
Some of them looked shocked,e some confused, and some angry... The last ones that were angry were Scott and his parents.
The dude is angry as if he is her fated mate, in your fucking dreams.
Gosh, you have no idea how content I felt while watching him burn as I held my mate closer to my chest, only for her to hug my neck tighter.
I smirked at him but quickly hid it so that nobody would notice it other than him.
" Liam, what happened?" Elisabeth asked me in both confusion and worry as she and her husband walked closer to check on their daughter " Nothing, the alpha is drunk and wants to go to her room."
Elisabeth smiled and nodded before looking at Scott, asking him to come closer only to look at me and say what made my blood boil " It’s okay, you can give her to Scott, he will bring Anastasia to her room."
My hands, one of them is holding Anastasia’s thighs and the other one is holding her back. They narrowed around her, pulling her even closer to my chest as I glared at Scott who walked closer with a smirk on his face while lifting his hands up, ready to take Anastasia in his arms.
I have no idea what got into me, I just found myself holding her even tighter and growling loudly at him. " NO!!"
Yeah, growling at some rich alpha as an alpha isn’t a very bright idea because growling at anyone is pretty disrespectful but growling at a rich alpha is way worse.
