Going Against the Alpha

Chapter 6-The Surprise

Kamila’s POV

Oh no, what was I thinking? Why do I not listen to her? I guess he senses my nervousness. He looks over at me, giving me the best smile I have ever seen. He tells me, “it is okay, no need to panic. I won’t let anything happen to you. 

I had a surprise set up for you earlier today.” Oh my gosh, he has a surprise for me! My nervousness quickly turns to excitement. I’m now smiling like a kid on Christmas again. Now I’m paying full attention as he keeps driving into the woods. I guess we reach our destination because he puts the car in park. Without saying a word, he jumps out, runs around to my side of the vehicle to help me out. I can’t help but keep smiling at how cute he is.

We start to walk down the path now. I’m looking around to see little lights hung in the trees, dimly lighting our way. We get to the end, which opens up to a small clearing with the cutes little table for two. I look around. There are more little lights strung in the trees above the table. 

It is creating the perfect romantic ambiance. I hear soft music playing in the background. It sounds like love songs, but I can’t focus. Denver has pulled out my chair, ushering me to take my seat. The next thing I see is a man appear in a suit carrying two plates. I look at Denver, who is smiling from ear to ear at me. He looks so proud of himself, which causes me to giggle. 

“What are you giggling at?” Nothing I say with a slight smirk . The food smells fantastic. The guy in the suit pulls off the top, covering our food, and it is my favorite dish! Parmesan crusted chicken with asparagus and stuffed mushrooms. 

How on earth did you know this was my favorite food? How did you even have time to do all this? There is no way you did this in an hour and a half. He smirks and lets out a little chuckle. “You caught me. I saw you earlier today when I first got to the packhouse. 

When I got out of my car, I could smell this incredible smell of cinnamon and brown sugar. I started to look around, and my wolf was pacing back forth in my head. I knew you had to be close. The next thing I know is you went running right by me. 

I wanted to go after you and introduce myself, but I was already late. So, I decided I would find you as soon as the meeting was over. Instead of the meeting starting, we were given a tour of the pack grounds first, which delayed me from introducing myself.

All I can say is, oh. I try to hide my disappointment. I put my head down, not wanting to look up at him. I am waiting for him to continue when I look up to see him looking at me confused. I can’t look him in the eyes. He must be so embarrassed that I got my butt kicked earlier today.

 He’s probably going to reject me and is trying to let me down gently. I’m so stupid. Why did I have to get in a fight with Claudette? I know full well she can kick my a**. I can hold my own, don’t get me wrong, but she practically lives at the gym. It’s like her life depends on being able to go there. If it had been any other girl, I would have dominated. 

Her, on the other hand, is like fighting two of me. I am now shoveling food in my mouth, so I have a reason not to be talking. He stops my hand midair before it can reach my mouth. He is now looking at me more confused with a hint of worry. I just look back down. I’m sorry if I embarrassed you today about what happened in the gym. I sense him shift in his seat some.

I look up to see his green eyes are now a shade darker. “Kamila, what are you talking about? What happened in the gym?” All I can say is you were there you saw. All the Alphas on tour saw it. I was already embarrassed. Why is he acting like he wasn’t there?

 Does he want me to tell him why I did not beat my sister up? Or is he giving me a chance to explain why I looked so weak in that fight? It suddenly dawns on me what Claudette said earlier “just remember that mates are protective over each other, and if he is not, then he can’t be your mate” I’m so stupid. He can not be my mate.

 If he were, he would have gone crazy because someone was causing me pain. All I want to do is disappear. I want to get away from this man as quickly as possible. I’m embarrassed, and at this point, starting to get a little pissed off. Did he think I wouldn’t figure out that he could not be my mate until next week?

 Did he think he could sweet-talk his way into me being with him before I found out? My voice comes out more of a shrill. You said the meeting didn’t start; instead, everyone had to go on a tour of the pack grounds, and it is what kept you from introducing yourself. Right?  

“Yes, Kamila, that is true, but…..”So why do I need to explain what happened at the gym? When you were there? Huh? Kamila, let me finish before you go jumping to conclusions. I cross my arms over my chest, huffing. Fine, go ahead, let’s hear it. 

You are right, Kamila. I did go inside to the meeting that did not happen until after the tour. However, we were given a tour of the packhouse first. In the living room area, there are pictures posted on the wall. I saw a picture of you with your family. 

I asked beta Josh who you were. He told me that you were the alpha’s daughter. While most everyone went on the tour, my beta and I stayed back to ask the cook to help us out with the food part of tonight. The cook is the one that told us about this place. So, instead of catching up to the tour, we left and came to see if it was as good as he had said it was. Now please tell me what happened.”
