Nelly’s POV.
The car came to an abrupt stop, and | lurched forward, nearly hitting my head on the seat in front of me. Aisha woke with a start, her eyes bleary as she rubbed them with the heel of her hand.
“Get out,” a harsh voice ordered from the front of the car. | knew it was Alpha Kex, and | felt a surge of annoyance.
“He couldn’t open the door for us, like a gentleman would have?” | whispered to Aisha.
“We are talking about Alpha Kex here,” Aisha whispered back, and | rolled my eyes. Yes, | knew exactly who we were talking about.
There was a loud rap at the window, making me jump in my seat. | rolled the window. down and came face-to-face with Alpha Kex, who looked extremely irritated.
“Do you need a special request before you step out?” he growled, his voice low and dangerous.

Aisha spoke up, her voice steady. “We are so sorry, Alpha,” she said, her eyes downcast. “Please forgive us.”
With a low hiss, Alpha Kex turned and began to walk away. | quickly opened the door, Aisha and | followed behind him, my heart still racing from his display of anger.
| adjusted my gown, tugging at the fabric, trying to get it to fall just right. | glanced at Aisha, and | could see the same nervous energy reflected in her eyes.

Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence, sending a chill down my spine. | turned to see a woman running towards us, her expression elated. She was petite, with blonde hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in a simple gown, her feet bare as she ran across the grass.
She stopped in front of Alpha Kex, a wide smile on her face. “Oh, Kex!” she said, her

“Oh, | have missed you so much!” the woman gushed, a dreamy look on her face. | resisted the urge to gag.
The woman reached out and wrapped her hands around Alpha Kex’s waist, gazing up at him adoringly. He gently brushed a few strands of hair from her face, his expression unreadable.
“Emily,” he said, his voice tinged with exasperation. “How are you doing?”
“This pack is different without you here,” she said, sounding almost triumphant.
“So | have heard,” Kex replied, the ghost of a smirk on his lips.
Emily’s smile faltered for a moment. She leaned forward, as if to kiss him, but Kex pulled back, his expression cool and detached.
| cleared my throat, the sound loud and jarring in the silence. | turned to face them. Instantly, the pair broke apart, Emily’s face flushed with annoyance.
Emily’s eyes fixed on me, her gaze icy and calculating. She looked at me as if | was a thrash. | looked away, feeling her gaze like a dagger piercing my skin.
Aisha met my eyes, a smirk on her face. | couldn’t help but chuckle. Aisha had always been one to dislike being bested. | could tell she was pleased to see Emily's discomfort.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Who are they?” she repeated, turning her gaze back to Alpha Kex.
“You don’t need to know,” he said, his voice firm. “They are not worth your time.” He reached out and gently caressed her cheek, and | watched as she blushed.
| rolled my eyes. “Ugh,” | thought to myself. It was all | could do to not gag. | was caught in this strange triangle of drama, and | wanted nothing more than to escape.
| let out a deep sigh as Alpha Kex continued on his way, and | followed, my feet heavy with reluctance. His arm was now wrapped around Emily’s waist, and they walked side. by side, their heads bent together.

When we reached the third floor, Alpha Kex stopped at a door and pushed it open. My eyes widened in surprise as | took in the room. It was nothing like my room at the pack.

“Get a grip,” my subconscious whispered in my mind.
“This is your room.” | heard Alpha Kex say, his voice cutting through my thoughts.
“Mine?” | asked, confused. “What about my friend?” | glanced around the room again, my eyes taking in the luxurious furnishings, the soft fabrics and the opulent decor.
“No,” Alpha Kex said, his voice stern. “This room is for you alone. You don’t share it with anyone.” | felt a lump in my throat. “Why?” | asked, my voice trembling.
Alpha Kex’s expression was unreadable. “You know what | told you about having a sharp mouth,” he said, his voice low and dangerous.
“Yes, Alpha,” | whispered, my throat tight with fear. “I’m sorry.”
“Good, | made the decision in this pack and no one dared to question me,” he said in a stern voice. And | nodded, afraid my voice might betray me.
Alpha Kex turned away from me with Emily, his eyes landing on Aisha. | watched as he gestured for her to follow him, and she nodded, her head bowed. She looked so small and scared, and | felt a pang of sympathy for her.
But then she turned and left, walking beside Alpha Kex as if nothing had happened. | watched them go, feeling helpless and confused, so | decided to close the door.
His hand shot out, holding the door open just as | was about to close it. “Wait for me,” he said, his voice low and commanding. “I will be back tonight.”
| shivered, his words sending a chill down my spine. | nodded, knowing | had no choice. As the door closed behind him, | was left with a sense of unease. | wasn’t sure what to expect from him, but | knew that | would have to be on my guard.
