“Sorry, what?” I mumbled, making her chuckle.

“I asked if everything is okay with the soil now?” she repeated her question.

I gulped and smiled.

“Yes, of course,” I said. “Thank you so much. I can’t believe that my agronomists didn’t figure it out.”

“Oh, don’t blame them,” she said, shaking her head. “I wouldn’t have known either if I didn’t see it once already. It was a rare fungus, and no wonder they didn’t think of it.”

I smiled and nodded. I was nervous. Why was I nervous?

“I am sorry for bothering you, Drake,” Amy said. “I will see you around.”

She didn’t bother me. She could never bother me.

She gave me a small smile and walked away before I could stop her and tell her that I wanted to talk to her and that she wasn’t bothering me.

Fuck. What was wrong with my brain?

‘She smells nice,’Dean sighed.

She did smell nice. She smelt like coconut. I loved coconut.

“She is pretty,” Josh said, making me glare at him.

I didn’t know why, but his comment angered me.

“I heard that she didn’t find a mate yet,” Josh said, taking a sip of his drink.

His eyes were on her, and it was pissing me off.

“Why do you know that?” I asked, holding back a growl. “Are you interested in her?”

Josh looked at me and smirked.

“No,” he said. “Are you?”

I clenched my fists and looked away from him.

“No,” I mumbled.

“Then I am sure that it won’t bother you that a man is talking to her right now,” Josh said, making me snap my head in her direction.

Josh was right. One of the warriors that arrived with Alpha Henry was talking to her. She was nodding and smiling at him.

Something weird stirred inside of me. I didn’t like it. I didn’t want him to talk to her. I wanted to drag him away from her.

I growled quietly, placed my glass on the bar, and walked toward them. I could hear Josh chuckling quietly.

“So, Amy, are you free tonight?” the guy asked her, making that weird feeling inside my chest grow. “I was thinking that we could go out and get something to eat?”

She was just about to answer him, but I interrupted her.

“Amy, can I talk to you, please?” I asked, making them both look at me.

“Alpha Drake,” the guy said politely, bending his head in respect.

I gave him a small nod and looked back at her.
