The Alpha's Daughter

Chapter 9

I can't believe Roxy hugged me yesterday the whole thing felt so surreal.

I can't believe I hugged her back. It just felt like something that needed to happen.

It just felt like she belonged in my arms. I actually felt like I could protect her from the world.

I was laying in my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about her like a lovesick puppy.

I needed to get up and go take a shower. I groaned lifting the sheets off of me and grabbing my clothes

heading to the bathroom.

I walked out of my room almost running into Roxy who was rushing down the hall.

I stepped forward when she was trying to as well. I stepped back when she stepped back .

We did that awkwardly for a good five minutes. Obviously losing a few brain cells along the way.

“If you were heading to the bathroom you can go first” I said and she shook her head.

“You can go ahead you were heading there before me," She said, turning away before I yet again

insisted she go on ahead .

After another couple of awkward minutes of us debating we finally decided that she should go first.

I waited for her to finish up in the bathroom and I walked in soon after her.

I turned on the water stepping inside letting it fall down my face. I hope it doesn’t stay that way between

me and Roxy forever.

Why was it like that now anyways was it the hug?

Was Roxy not telling me something that involved me?

I sighed finishing up my shower and stepping out to get dressed.

I opened the door and saw Roxy's sister Rachel coming towards me.

“Hey cutie” She said and I smiled politely at her yet again trying my best to not come across as

agitated.

I'm not about to lie. I hated when Rachel called me cutie. I much rather have Roxy saying it to me.

I tried walking around her but she blocked me positioning herself in the doorway.

“Um can I just pass by please?” I asked trying to sound as politely as I could.

“Do you like my sister” She asked with her hands on her hips and I stared at her a little taken aback.

“Um that's a little random why?” I asked trying my hardest to just walk away.

“I can tell by the way you look at her now do you like her” Rachel asked again a little harsher this time.

I nodded and I swear if this was a cartoon there would be steam coming out her ears.

“Well don't bother she doesn't like you” She said crossing her arms irritably.

I knew it already but hearing it be confirmed by a person so close to her made my heart just crumble to NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

pieces.

I guess I had a little hope but now it was all gone.

“Yeah but I like you so if you ever want to hang out you know where to find me” Rachel said walking

away whilst trying to sway her hips in the process.

I didn't feel like eating. I skipped breakfast and spent most of the morning in my room groaning.

Luckily I didn't have to do anything but clean the bathroom again.

I headed in there glancing at Roxy as she headed downstairs with her hunting group.

She looked so beautiful it didn't make any sense how so much beauty was given to one person.

Sadly she doesn't like me. I sighed walking into the bathroom cleaning it slowly.

Once I was done I returned to my room. I didn't want to run into Roxy or Rachel so I stayed in my room

trying to avoid them both.

Maybe that was why she was acting all awkward; her sister probably told her about her suspicions.

She probably figured that I really liked her and didn't want to be mean and break my heart.

Well too late I thought to myself. I mean how could she like me anyway.

I couldn't protect her or even begin to know how to love her.

Maybe my father was right about me being pathetic and useless.

There was a knock on my door and I hesitated whether or not I should open it.

I decided to and revealed Roxy holding a tray.

“I didn't see you at breakfast or dinner so I thought you were hungry” She said handing it over.

I sat it on the nightstand before returning to the door.

I saw Roxy nervously staring down at her shirt fidgeting with the buttons.

W’hat's wrong” I asked her and she looked up at me, her blue eyes peering into mine.

“I have something to tell you I…” She began to say but I held my hand up.

She looked at me confusingly. “I know you don't like me don’t worry, I totally understand" I said.

She looked a little taken aback. “Wait what, who told you that?" She asked.

“Your sister told me when I was leaving the bathroom this morning” I said.

I watched as Roxy's beautiful blue eyes darkened with something anger perhaps.

“If you hear screaming just ignore it” She said with a beautifully twisted smile on her face.

I stared at her retreating body with wide eyes as she stomped down the stairs.

I closed the door and headed to my bed. What was all that about? What was Roxy trying to tell me?

I was so confused right now but my thoughts were disturbed by my growling belly.

I sighed, grabbing the tray of food, demolishing it all.

I laid back on my bed looking at the ceiling content the food made me feel a whole lot better.

I was full and a little bit happy that Roxy looked mad when I said her sister said she didn't like me.

“That doesn't mean she likes you. She probably mad her sister told you when she wasn't supposed to,”

My conscious said.

Wow was I always this negative or was it just because of what Rachel said.

I was thinking; arguing a little with my negative consciousness occasionally as my positive thoughts

started to detour.

My thoughts were interrupted once again but not by a knock or somebody talking.

It was interrupted by what sounded to be Rachel screaming.
