The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha

"And how did you know they were 15 in number, I didn't tell you how many they are"

Deep down, Adam knew he had to say something, anything, or risk exposing himself and Olivia.

"How did you know they were 15"

"Well, this and that" He chuckles, glancing around.

"What and what?"

"Numbers" He shoots sharply as a thought strikes through.

"What?"

"Numbers, an average number for mobs in a group is 15 so I assumed they were 15"

"Ah!" Alexandra exclaims, playing along, seeing right through him. "they were"

"So stories about mobs being 15 in a group are true"

"I don't care"

"Yea just glad that you are safe. Please don't walk through the lonely path again" Alexandra's eyes widened. "How did you know it was a lonely path?"

Adam bites his lower lips for a second, and smiles, hating that he was giving out too much and risking everything.

"I assumed, mobs attack in lonely path"

"You must know a lot about mobs"

"Some rogues act like mobs, the only difference is they don't use weapons since they are werewolves"

"Rogues" Alexandra whispers.

"Yes. I hate them"

"Because of what they did to you"

"Not only to me but rogues should be killed. They are a disgrace to werewolves"

"Your hate runs deep"

"The mere sight of them makes me crave raw meat"

Alexandra glances around making sure no one heard them.

"Do you still hate to eat raw meat?" He states, aloud.

"Will you keep your voice down?"

"Relax no one can hear us"

"You can't be so sure, how can werewolves be this ignorant most times"

"Because we don't give a damn" He winks her eyes.

"Please don't do that"

"Do what?" He winks at her again

"That thing you just did with your eyes"

"Winking"

"Yes"

"Why? Do you hate it?"

"Yes I do"

"Really? But I thought you use to like it when you were a student"

Alexandra laughs, she had forgotten all about high school and its drama. "I was what? 16"

"Yet you did it a lot"

"I didn't, it was the werewolves in my class, who had a habit of winking"

"And you love when they wink at you"

"I didn't but Olivia did"

Hearing that familiar name, the smile on Adams's face quickly fades away for a moment. The thought of Olivia sending those mobs to hurt Alexandra still made his blood boil and he wasn't ready to forgive her, at least not immediately.

"Is something wrong?" Alexandra asks noticing the sudden change in his eyes

"Nothing"

"Are you sure is not about the rogues?"

Adams laughs, he had forgotten Alexandra knew had a habit of bringing a smile to his face.

"Yes" he stares into her eyes and she stared back, imagining Nathaniel sitting in his seat, winking and teasing her.

"Do you know something Alexandra"

"What?"

"When you came to find me, I was startled but then I thought..." He smiles, wondering if he should continue.

"You thought what?"

"I thought that maybe, you..."

"What is it? Come on tell me, I'm itching with our curiosity"You are so blunt,

sometimes I wonder why you didn't become a solicitor"

"Maybe I should go back to school and start all over"

"Don't be silly, pretty sure you don't need that"noveldrama

"Business Administration is a good course, most billionaires majored in B.A"

"I can't be a billionaire since I'm a werewolf"

"Who said you can't? You Alexandra Guerrero can be anything you want to be and we both know this. Soon you are going to be my Luna"

Alexandra smiles cunningly, wondering how Adam could be blind to the truth even while it stared down at him. Was it ignorance, she wasn't sure but all she knew is that he was in for a big surprise at their next meeting.

"Come on, tell me what you were thinking?"

"I thought that you were rejected"

"Rejected?" She raises her brow, without a doubt what he was implying, and decides to play a fool. That was so her style and Alexandra doesn't fail to bring it to the table.

"Rejected?"

"Yes"

"By whom?"

"That man, the Alpha"

"Nathaniel"

"Yes"

"Why would he reject me?"

Adams runs his hand through his hair. "I...I don't know, I just thought"

Feeling her Adrenaline rush up, molds her fist tightly, and forces a smile, calming her nerves.

"Is alright but Nathaniel isn't like that"

Adam chuckles. "You address him by his name"

"He's my mate, what should I call him then?"

"Rumours has it no one calls him by his name and stays alive"

"You sound like he is some tyrant"

"Your mate has a reputation for being ruthless, don't you know?"

"Ruthless? I haven't heard"

"How well do you know him?"

"Okay maybe we should stop right there Adam"

"I let you call me Adam, I would let you call me anything"

"Who told you I can't call him anything?"

"Can you?" He raises his brow daringly

"I call him Nathaniel and yet I'm still alive"

"The rumors -"

She shoots sharply. "Those are just rumors, nothing has been confirmed"

"What if it turns out to be true?"

Alexandra smiles seeing right through him, he was expecting to see her throw Nathaniel under the bus but she wasn't going to do that. She knew who he was before accepting to be his mate and agreeing to their marriage so nothing was going to make her change her mind.

"Will you ask this same question if you were the one?"

Adam opens his mouth and closes it unsure what to say.

"What if Alexandra?"

"We all have our demons Adam so let's not start poking" she smiles glancing at

her wrist watch seeing how time times, standing up".

"Yes is already getting late and I need to get back home"

Adams stands up. "Thank you, Alexandra"

"Thank you for meeting with me and buying my meal"

A smile forms on his face and he leans towards her ear. "You owe me lunch" he

winks at her and Alexandra stares at him, her face void of emotions for a moment, turns around, and leaves.
