Draven.
"Good for you," I mumbled to myself.
I cleared my plates and towards the end of breakfast, Wanda asked if I could spar with her this afternoon, as it had been a long ti since we had a duel.
She looked excited while making that request, but I wasn’t.
"Today can’t work. You can spar with Dennis or Jeffrey," I glanced at my brother, who was giving an eye and quickly added, "if they are available. I have plenty of work to do."
Wanda’s smile disappeared. She simply nodded and turned back to her food. Then I took that opportunity to wipe my lips with a napkin and stand to my feet.
My gaze fell on my brother and my Beta. I let them know they would be the one in charge of the training today because I wouldn’t have the ti to do a full session with them.
And of course I had to leave out the reason I was breaking the training ti table and reassigning so of my tasks for today.
Who would understand that redith was the reason for all of this?
I was reshuffling my schedule just on case she would need again, and I would have to co running back to my bedroom. To have sex with her.
I wasn’t ready to use a nicer word like ’making love’ and it was already a miracle I didn’t use the word, ’fuck’ because that’s all we’ve been doing.
No questions were asked. I took it that they understood my instructions, so I turned to leave.
But Dennis chased after .
"Are you leaving for the training grounds already?" I asked, wondering why he seed so enthusiastic. I knew he didn’t finish his breakfast.
Maybe he wasn’t famished like I, who had pleasured a woman all night.
"No. redith didn’t show up for dinner last night, and then for breakfast today. I want to check on her."
I stopped walking. He stopped as well and turned to him.
"I can see you’re becoming a busybody." I narrowed my eyes at him.
He looked in the eyes with a smile and said, "Her husband doesn’t care much about her, so her friend should."
Though he said that to prove a point to , he didn’t make any attempt to move further.
I was silent for a few monts before letting out a deliberate, slow sigh.
"Since you had to put your words that way, even though you had good intentions, I won’t let you see her. Go to the training grounds if you are this free-spirited."
Surprisingly, he didn’t argue with , but the he had to tell , "I think I will see her later at noon" before smirking and turning around to walk away.
At least he wasn’t going in the direction of the hallway that led to the spot where redith’s maidservants were waiting for . He headed out for the one that led outside.
Letting out a soft sigh, I resud my steps and soon, I t Azul and Kira, each carrying a portable cloth bag and a tray of food.
Initially, when I made this arrangent, I hadn’t planned for them to follow up to the third floor. But I couldn’t see myself doing the work of a servant because I wanted to keep everything tightly under wraps.
Azul and Kira weren’t strangers to redith. And they were very close to her, so I quickly made a decision.
"Co with . Both of you." Then I started walking ahead, leading the way up the stairs without waiting for a response from them.
Now on the third floor, I opened the door to my quarters and walked in, leaving one of them to co in last and shut the door.
The heavy scent of pheromones that had been hanging in the air before I left for breakfast had dissipated by a greater amount. I sighed in relief.
Then, I pointed at the centre table on the east side of my bedroom, and Kira set the breakfast tray down.
Azul glanced past to see the sleeping woman on my bed. Though the only thing she could see from that angle was redith’s silhouette from under the duvet, I moved to stand in her line of sight.
"Alpha, can I help my Mistress have a bath?" she requested, fixing her gaze on .
"Certainly, she can wash herself. Her hands are not broken," I said flatly, giving no room for more protests.
Azul and Kira bowed and left, but not without casting worried glances at my king-sized bed.
I saw them out and locked the door before returning to the room. I noticed small movents from under the duvet and sharply turned my gaze to the bed and saw nothing.
Instantly, I narrowed my eyes. Shoving my hands inside my pockets, I calmly made my way towards the bed. Stopping at the side, I stood there and watched redith briefly.
She was still, so still, which was negligence on her part.
If she wanted to pretend to still be in a deep sleep, she wouldn’t have held her breath. And though the covers were very thick, it would have still been possible for to notice the fall and rise of her chest.
I let out another sigh and shook my head.
This woman had a long way to go if she thought she could easily deceive .
I get that she was awake now, and suddenly aware of her surroundings, and her head was probably flooding with mories of last night. But she shouldn’t have to play this ga.
"What if you are wrong?" Rhovan asked.
I didn’t take my eyes off the little woman. "I can never be wrong."
As soon as I said that, redith stirred a bit on the bed and let out a deep sigh. Then she stopped moving, and her chest began to rise and fall in a asured rhythm.
I narrowed my eyes and for a split second, I wondered if I had passed the wrong judgnt.
"You see, Alpha, you can’t be right all the ti," Rhovan spat provocatively.
"Shut up." I finally withdrew my gaze from redith and headed for the bathroom.
