The Alpha’s Little Rogue

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Alessia’s POV I did it. I told him the truth. Shifting in my seat, I wait for his response with bated breath. Is he even going to believe me? Half the time I didn’t even believe it myself. His facial expression is inscrutable, not giving any hint as to what he is feeling. “Which Alpha is your father?” He asks, his voice low and even. “I don’t know,” I whisper, looking him in to let him know I wasn’t lying about this. e eyes He scoffs and straightens. “You really expect me to believe you don’t know who your father is?” He arches a brow in disbelief. I sigh, knowing this was what would happen. I had fully expected it but for some reason, I held hope that he would believe me. “My Mother never told me who he was.” Even as I say it, I realize how stu p i d it sounds but I continue, “She was a human and he was an Alpha grieving the loss of his Luna. That’s all she told me. She said it was too dangerous for me to be in his life.” I never demanded to know more about the person who fathered me. Mostly, because I didn’t care- having my mother was more than enough for me- but also because I wasn’t ready to hear it.

I wish I hadn’t been such a worthless spine and asked my mother more about who he was. Caden’s gaze holds mine, searching for something. Whatever it’s that he sought, he must have found it because his eyes soften a bit, but I’m not about to think that it means he believes me. “Do you think those rogues were after you because of your father?” He voices the thought that I’ve been pondering over since I walked in on my Mom’s body. But without any knowledge of who my father was, I was off to a dead end. Was it possible that someone. from that life was after me even after years of running away from them? “F u c k!” Caden exclaims out of the blue. “This is terrible. We have no idea who those people are or

where they might be getting their orders from. For all we know, they might be sitting outside the pack territory. just waiting for you to step a foot out. He throws his head back and runs his fingers through his hair, making it go wild in different directions. “I could leave your pack if you want,” I innocently offer. Five seconds ago, that had seemed like the right thing to say. Caden was stressing over something that wasn’t his to worry over and I had thought that offering to leave would relieve that stress.

Instead, he now looks wrung tight and about to explode at any second. 96% 11:21 “You go nowhere.” He steps forward, stopping in front of me and looking down at me. “I mean it, Alessia. Don’t even think of stepping a foot out of this pack house without me by your side.” The anger that I had felt in the woods, rises up my chest again. It was obvious that he wanted nothing to do with me so why was he so hellbent on keeping me by his side? “I want to leave,” I say instead of all the other colorful choices of words I could have used and wanted to use. He rolls his eyes like he’s dealing with a petulant child who keeps misbehaving. “You’re not going anywhere,” he simply states. Ok, f u c k this. I’m trying to be the biggest person here but clearly, he wasn’t appreciating my effort. I stand up and the fact that I still have to tilt my head back to look at him just adds insult to the injury. “You don’t have the right to keep me locked up here!” I’m not even trying to keep my voice down. I’m passed caring about who hears us. That’s his issue, not mine. He closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose. A breath puffs out of his mouth as the vein inThis material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

his neck pops dangerously. Was it wise to be pocking him when he looked like he was already at his knife edge? No, definitely not. Did I care? No, definitely not. When he opens his eyes again, they are back to the ember-green orbs I know. “What do you think is going to happen when you step a foot out of here?” He asks calmly, a contrast to what he was a few minutes ago. He arches an eyebrow in expectation of my answer when I stay silent. I have given that question some thought but voicing those thoughts out would make me sound so dumb. I want to go back to my house but I know for sure that there might be someone waiting for me to walk right into their trap. Aside from my house, I have no way else to go. “Exactly.” He doesn’t look smug like I expected. “You can’t leave at least not until we’re sure that there isn’t still someone after you. Do you understand that?” Time to retrace back my steps. “Ok,” I nod and Caden looks like a weight has been lifted hon is shoulder. “But…” I begin and his shoulders hunch again. “I want you to train me,” I finish. “Train you?” His brows furrow in confusion. “I want to learn how to defend myself,” I spell out for him. When I came across those men in my house, the first thought that entered my head was to run away. I hated it.

And if I ever wanted to find them and make them pay for my Mom’s death then I needed to know how to fight. For that, I needed Caden’s help and I was sure that he wasn’t going to- “No.” Comes Caden’s answer.
