The scent of pancakes wafted into my nose, rousing me from sleep. The sunlight. streaming through the window hit my eyes, making me groan as | sat up and stretched my body. | looked to my side, and Alpha Kex was nowhere to be found.

| could hear sounds coming from the kitchen, and | got up to investigate. As | walked out of the bedroom, | was hit with the full force of the smell of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. The kitchen was warm and inviting, the sounds of cooking filling the air. | followed my nose to the source of the delicious smells.

There he was, Alpha Kex, wearing an apron and his back to me, standing at the stove. | couldn’t help but admire him, his strong frame, his broad shoulders, his wavy hair, hist scent filling the room.

| felt an urge to go up behind him and wrap my arms around him, but | held myself back. This was new territory for me, and | would rather not make him uncomfortable.

“You know it’s a crime to stare at someone without their permission,” he said, a mischievous glint in his eye. | felt my cheeks grow red, embarrassed to be caught. “I wasn’t staring at you,” | protested, but my words were weak. “Then what were you staring at?” he asked, his voice low and seductive.

He moved closer to me, and | felt my breath catch in my throat. My heart was racing, and | could feel my nipples harden beneath my clothes. | knew | should look away, but | couldn’t tear my eyes from his.

He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. “Good morning,” he said, his voice warm and soothing. He caressed my cheek, his touch sending a shiver through me.

“Good morning, Alpha Kex,” | mumbled, my words still half-asleep.

“Ugh,” he groaned, “stop putting ‘Alpha’ in front of my name. It’s just Kex.”

| laughed, the sound filling the room. “Fine, Alpha, sorry Kex,” | said, a smile on my face.

He rolled his eyes, but | could tell he was smiling too.

“Do you mind going for a walk after breakfast?” he asked, breaking the moment. Chapter 35

“Why not?” | said, a little surprised at his request.

“Thank you,” he said with a smile. He leaned, his lips closed to mine, | was about to press my lips with his, when | caught a whiff of something burning.

“Shit!” Alpha Kex exclaimed, rushing to the stove and turning it off. He removed the pan, and the scent of burnt food filled the kitchen.

Oops, my late dad wasn’t lying when he said women are distractions,” he said, his face sheepish. | couldn’t help but laugh.

He served the food on the counter, and we sat opposite each other, enjoying the meal in companionable silence. | put the pancakes in my mouth, savoring the taste of maple syrup and butter, | shut my eyes.

“Mmmm,” | said, unable to contain my satisfaction.

“Delicious,” he observed with a grin. | opened my eyes, surprised by his comment.

“| didn’t know you were paying attention,” | said, a little embarrassed. He shrugged.

“It's hard not to notice the way you are enjoying your breakfast made by the best chef,” he said, a hint of anusement in his voice. “So you think you are the best chef?” | said with a teasing smile.

“Absolutely!” he exclaimed, a confident look on his face.

“Come on,” | said, “just admit it. | cook better than you.”

He gave me a sly grin. “I will admit nothing of the sort,” he said.

“A chef who burns food isn’t much of a chef,” | teased.

His cheeks grew pink. “That’s because you distracted me!” he said, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. | felt my cheeks turn red, a blush spreading across my face.

We continued to banter back and forth, a playful exchange that brought a smile to my face. When we were done eating, | gathered the plates and put them in the sink.

“Don't worry, | will do the dishes,” Alpha Kex said, his voice gentle.

“Thank you,” | said, relieved that | wouldn’t have to spend my time scrubbing dirty dishes. | hate doing the dishes, it really sucks cleaning them.

| hurried to the bathroom to take a shower, eager to feel refreshed and ready for the day ahead. | stepped out of the bathroom, my hair damp and my skin still warm from the shower. | looked at the clothes in my room, not sure what to wear.

| settled on a pair of jeans and a crop top, deciding that comfort was more important than fashion. | looked at myself in the mirror, cursing myself for not bringing any makeup. But then again, it wasn’t like | had expected to be taken to a cottage in the woods.

| stepped out of the cottage, feeling the cool breeze on my skin. Alpha Kex was standing by the door, his expression unreadable. “Ready?” he asked, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“Yes,” | said, my voice barely above a whisper.

He wrapped his hand around mine, and we started walking. | looked up at the sky, the sun shining brightly in the clear blue sky. The scent of pine trees and wildflowers filled. the air, and | felt a sense of peace wash over me.

| glanced at Alpha Kex, a smile on my face, but as soon as | noticed that he was looking. at me, | looked away, my cheeks growing warm. Why did | feel so nervous around him?

| caught him staring at me again, and | held his gaze, daring him to look away first. He didn’t back down, his gaze intense and unwavering.

“What?” | asked, my cheeks flushed with color.

He let out a small chuckle, and | felt my heart skip a beat. “I’m just wondering how the goddess could have made such a beautiful damsel like you,” he said, a teasing smile on his lips.

“The funny thing is, it just made me like you more.” | was taken aback by his confession,

“Is anything the matter?” he asked, his voice laced with concern.

| shook my head, realizing | had been lost in thought. Maybe | was reading too much. into this, | thought. But the more | talked to him, the more intrigued | became.

Who was this man in front of me? He seemed so different from the ruthless Alpha | had met before. Had something changed, or had | just been wrong about him from the
