“I am sorry,” I apologized.

He sighed and looked me up and down again. I could feel the temperature in my body rising.

‘Focus, Amy,’Alora mumbled.

‘I am trying,’I said.‘The crush I have on him isn’t helping.’

‘He does smell good,’Alora mumbled, and I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes.

She was telling me to focus, and she was the one breathing in his scent right now. He smelt nice. He smelt like a forest after rain. It was my favorite smell. I loved running in the forest after it rained.

“Who is that man who asked you out?” Alpha Drake asked me, making me snap out of my thoughts.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Why did he care? First, he asked about my mate, and now about Nick asking me out. Why?

“He is one of Alpha Henry’s warriors,” I answered. “We’ve met a couple of times before.”

Alpha Drake narrowed his eyes.

“What were you going to tell him?” he asked me.

My heart raced. Why did he care?

His dark eyes bore into mine. His scent overpowered my senses. I couldn’t focus.

“What?” I managed to mumble.

“If I didn’t drag you away, would you say yes to his proposal?” he asked.

He didn’t really drag me. He asked if he could talk to me, and I said yes.

“No,” I answered.

He tightened his jaw again.

“Why?” he asked.

It was mostly because I had a crush on him, but I couldn’t tell him that. He was an Alpha. I was no one. I was just a regular wolf.

“I don’t like him like that,” I mumbled.

He gulped and took a step closer to me.

What the hell was he doing?! He needed to step away before his scent made me lose my mind.

“Is there someone else who you like, Amy?” he asked, making my eyes widen.

“Why?” I asked instead of answering him.

He walked up to me and caressed my cheek.

I froze. My heart raced.

“I want to know how much competition I have,” he mumbled, tracing his finger up and down my jaw.

My heart was going to stop.

Did I hear him right?
