I couldn’t finish what I was saying when suddenly, a manly figure appeared beside me. He was so close to me, and he was holding my waist. My eyes widened, and my body froze when I found out who it was.

“A-Alpha…” I said, almost catching my breath already. Shit. I gasped hard when I felt the electricity going inside my body the moment our skins touched. My eyes widened even more. There was only an inch of space between our faces, and what’s worse was that my hand was resting on his chest.

My heart went wilder. It felt like it was ready to go out of my chest. Fuck. I almost couldn’t hear the surroundings because all I could hear now was the beating of my heart. I cannot believe we were this close! And to think I went here to get away from him, but here he is now, holding me into his arms.

“What the hell are you doing here alone, huh?” he asked in a husky and angry voice. I felt my cheeks reddening when his fingers lifted my chin, making our gazes meet.

Holy shit.

“Uhh…I-I was…” I couldn’t even finish what I was saying because I was so damn distracted with our position.

“What?” he asked again. This time, he leaned closer, making me feel his hot breath.

Shit, why is he so fucking near?

I bit my lip as I tried my best to avoid his gaze. My breathing was now labor. I felt like the air around us had thinned as he slowly closed the distance between us. Damn it. I cannot take this anymore! I felt like I would be out of breath! He’s too close! And to think that his mere presence was already too much for me to handle.

“Uhmm…” Fuck. I still couldn’t answer him directly, damn it!

Cinna purred, which made me even more irritated.

“What is it, Celine, hmm?” he whispered, making me close my eyes.

Damn it. I hate this freaking feeling.

My breathing is now ragged as I feel his mouth touching my left ear, effectively making my knees weak. I bet I would have fallen to the ground if he was not holding me.

“Alpha…I-I…” I tried to answer and compose a decent word. But I couldn’t continue it again when I felt him sniffing my neck. Right then and there, I felt my body temperature rising up.

Damn it! I was catching my breath already when he leaned toward me again. He tilted my head so I could properly face him. My mouth slightly parted. I blinked multiple times when he slowly brought his face closer to my face. I felt like my whole world had just stopped. The concept of time has flown away from my head, leaving me helpless under the influence of his presence.

He moved his face closer to mine so that his lips were only a few inches away. I didn’t know why but I automatically closed my eyes and waited.

But nothing came. All I felt was the cold brushing of the wind against my face. And the next thing I knew, Alpha Lucas was already far away from me. I blinked in confusion.

“Let’s go, Celine,” he casually said before walking away. I was left there dumbfounded. It took me three seconds to recover, and it took him five seconds to get back to me and carry me like a sack of rice.

“Alpha! wait for me!” I shrieked, but he didn’t listen and just continued walking.

What the hell just happened?!

Chapter Thirty-Seven

What happened in the forest made my feelings even worse. Like nothing, Alpha Lucas dropped me in the middle of the field and immediately went to the mansion with all the pack warriors and the omegas staring at me weirdly. My jaw dropped, and I felt my whole face reddening because of shame. Damn it.

I bit my lip hard and just walked out of there in shame. I just covered my face in embarrassment and walked faster to the mansion. Why did he have to do that?! And what he did earlier was…shit! What is happening with him?!

“What’s with the rush?”

I was startled and immediately stopped in my tracks when Leila met me at the main entrance. I clutched my chest and gasped at her. “Oh, come on, Leila, you startled me!” I shouted in shock.

The calm bitch that she was, she just stared at me and raised a brow. I rolled my eyes and just sighed. I bit my late and avoided her gaze.

“I…n-nothing. I need to go,” I said and walked past her. I hurried to the kitchen. Well, it wasn’t time for dinner yet, it was still early, but it wouldn’t hurt if I looked up what we had there.

The other omegas were very busy with their tasks, so I kept myself busy, too. Damn, I need to get what happened earlier out of my head, or else I’ll even be more distracted, and I cannot be more distracted than I already am. Shit.

‘Someone’s got a feeling… the question is, what feeling is that, hmm?’
