Alpha's bride

Chapter five

Alpha Luca has requested for your presence”

Danelle became worried because of the encounter she had earlier with the Alpha at the garden. After Lisa dragged her out of the garden she had told her that the alpha doesn’t like any one to be in his personal space and the garden was one of those spaces.. She made her way to the Alpha’s study but suddenly she felt conscious of her appearance, she didn’t think the alpha would mind what she is putting on as they were just more clothes but then she doesn’t know what pisses him off because she has heard a lot of tales about him. She stands in front of his study door a little bit worried as to why he had called her, maybe she would have asked the head maid who had brought the news to her but then she had not bothered to inquire why as she thought that the lady would have no clue but now she is wishing that she had asked.

“Are you going to keep standing there or you want me to send someone to lift you up?”

She hears the deep voice of the alpha and then the door opens widely revealing the alpha and his study.

“Sir…..sorry my lord I was about coming in”

She stuttered, not sure how to address the alpha.

“Lies”

She kept quiet, not sure if he would want her to speak, she didn’t want to piss him off or be in his bad books.

“You are not only slow, you are also mute”

Denelle scratches her neck nervously not knowing what to do or say. She had not even stayed up to fourty eight hours and the alpha is already feeling irritated by her presence. Luca notices her nervous acts and then he points to the chair for her to sit.

“Sit”

“Thank you my lord”

Denelle sat at one of the chairs bending her head to the floor, her eyes were concentrated at nothing but it felt as though there was something of interest on the floor.

“You can call me Luca when we are indoors speaking alone”

She stared at him at him confused wondering why he wants her to drop the formalities

“It may seem as though I brought you here to be part of the servants but in truth I have no use for you, i just wanted your father to know how it feels to loose a loved one”

Denelle sniggers, finishing what the alpha said amusing. She was nothing to her father so obviously he would not even be bothered if she never goes back to moonlight pack. After all he made it clear that he is embarrassed to call her his daughter.

“My father would not care less if you take my dead body to the borders of moonlight pack hunged on the tree naked, asking for one of his daughters was an easy way to dispose of me”

She didn’t know where the confidence came from but she was relieved that for once in her life she could talk freely without being scared of consequences. If he decides to order for her death after this conversation, she won’t even ask for mercy because her life ended long ago.

“What do you mean?”

Luca’s interest in her story peeked up even though he had already heard a lot about her when he went undercover to the moonlight pack to gather information he needed as to how he mate died. Denelle went silent, she didn’t want to speak of the horrible experiences she had gone through in her father’s house. She didn’t want to have to bring back old memories even though they were still fresh.

“My father doesn’t care about me”.

Alpha Luca did not seem surprised at the revelation, he had done his findings earlier on and discovered that the daughter he had sent to him was the least favourite of the two daughters.

“Your father might not be your father after all”

Denelle went silent, she had thought about the possibilities of Alpha Frederick not being her father but not once did she question him on the paternity.

“Why are you suddenly being nice to me?”

Luca lets out a humorless laugh as he himself was yet to know why he had called her to his study. After he met her at the garden, the sight of her at pleased his wolf and he wanted to see her again. He wanted to apologize for how harsh he had spoken to her but then again he thought the apology was going to leave them in an awkward situation.

“Why am I doing this?”

He said to himself and then a voice from his head replied him… “it is because her sight pleases you”. He rubs his head feeling fraustrated at the feeling.

“My lord, are you okay?”

“We are done here, go get some rest”
