“Can we talk?” I repeated my question.
“Sure,” she said, giving me a small nod.
She looked at the guy and smiled. “I will be right back.”
I had to hold back a growl. I didn’t want her to come back. I didn’t want her to go out with him tonight.
I suddenly realized what that weird feeling was.
It was jealousy.
CHAPTER TWO – Fuck, I Like You
Amy’s POV
My hands were shaking.
Alpha Drake was intimidating, even more so because I had a stupid crush on him.
Not that he would ever feel the same about me. He was an Alpha, and I was nothing. I wasn’t worthy of him.
But how could I not have had a crush on him? He was so handsome. He was funny. He was kind. I got to know him better over the last few weeks, and I liked him. He was a handsome, smart man.
I followed him to the garden behind the packhouse. Unlike the rest of the place, the garden was peaceful. Nobody was around, and before I knew it, Alpha Drake and I were completely alone. I could still hear the voices coming from the packhouse, but no one was close to us.
I was nervous. I started playing with my hair, twisting it, and curling it around my fingers. I always did that when I was nervous.
Alpha Drake finally stopped walking. He turned around and looked me up and down.
I shivered.
The nervous feeling was starting to be replaced by fear. Did I do something wrong? He said that there was nothing wrong with the soil. Was I disrespectful? Did I offend him?
I saw his jaw tighten. He gulped and narrowed his eyes a little.
“Do you have a mate?” he asked, his voice raspy.
I shivered again. His voice made me tremble. I didn’t even hear his question.
What did he ask me?
“What?” I mumbled, hoping that he wouldn’t get even angrier at me for not listening to him.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a second.
Fuck. I did anger him.
“Do you have a mate?” he repeated his question.
I forced myself to listen to him this time, and his question surprised me. Did he ask if I had a mate?
A few seconds passed, and I saw him raise his eyebrows at me. He expected an answer.
“I don’t, Alpha Drake,” I said immediately, not wanting to anger him even more.
“I told you not to call me Alpha,” he said.
Fuck. He did tell me that.
