Page 16 of Alpha's Fated Desire

I really needed a change of clothes and I resigned myself to rewearing the green dress from yesterday’s event. I couldn’t wander around here with only this thin dressing gown on.

It barely covered my ass.

I wandered over to the closet, opened it, and was pleasantly surprised to see it stuffed full with clothes for every possible occasion.

I squealed in delight and quickly grabbed a cute top that caught my eye. I let out a laugh when I realized I didn’t have to rush to grab the best clothing anymore. There were no more omegas beside me jostling for the best pick!

I savored the feeling of having a whole closet of clothes to pick from and no one to share it with, and let out another giggle of happiness. I hugged the cute top close to my chest.

“Damn, I never thought I would wish to be a piece of fabric this bad in my life,” a deep voice rumbled from behind me.

I shrieked and spun around and spied Chase, leaning on the doorframe at the entryway of the room. His long dark hair curled over one eye.

He was just effortlessly sexy.

I let out a nervous laugh, unsure if he was making fun of me or not. Surely he couldn’t really be flirting with me?

He straightened up, and his expression sobered up.

“Roman wants to meet with you in his office whenever you are ready to discuss your future,” he said darkly.

I gulped.

Judging from his expression, it must be a horrible fate that’s been decided for me. I wanted to prolong my ignorance of it for a while.

There was no need to go rushing in there.

“Well, my leg is really aching right now. I think I’ll stay in bed for a while longer before I meet up with him.” I said slowly.

Chase glanced at me sharply.

“Your leg is aching? Why didn’t you mention this right away? I’ll grab the med kit, and I’ll be right back.” He said worriedly.

Before I could protest, he had already turned on his heel and vanished from sight.

Chapter 6

Gabriella

Inrecordtime,Chasereappeared at the door, clutching the medic kit. His black curls framed his face in a messy, sexy halo. He made his way over to the bed and looked at me expectantly.

“Alright, Gabriella. We’ll have your leg sorted out in no time. Lay on the bed, please,” he gestured politely to where he wanted me to be.

I sighed.

This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but at least it would put off the unpleasant meeting with Roman. I wonder what fate he had decided for me.

What if he had to end up executing me after all?

Shaking off those morbid thoughts, I pulled myself back to the present moment.

Truth be told, my leg was aching a little, to be honest. I might as well allow Chase to see to it. And from my brief experience observing these alphas, I knew once Chase had it in his mind to care for my leg, he was going to care for it one way or another.

I might as well get on with it.

I shuffled over to the pink bed, dragging my feet to make every second pass slower. I sat and was about to lean back to lie down when I suddenly froze in horror.

Oh shit!
