a shadow behind me and I turned to look at the owner of the shadow, only to see Alpha John standing behind me, his hands in his pants pocket.
I ended up standing in front of the house when I left the room as I didn’t know where to go from there.
It was so stupid of me to try and run away when I knew I had no place to go and I didn’t remember the way to Stanley’s house anymore, neither did I have his number to call him and ask for directions.
“Miss Jane, I agree with all you said earlier. Yes, I will never understand, no matter how you try to explain to me because it did not happen to me and even if I tried to pretend, I would end up making you uncomfortable. I admit my fault in making you cry, forgive me,” he apologized, bowing his head.
If I was being honest right now, then my heart just skipped a bit. He was an Alpha who was apologizing to me, that was the first time an Alpha had done that, let alone bow to show how serious he was.
I didn’t get what his deal was, why he was hovering around me when I was just a pregnant lady who was defiled and rejected by her own mate, so why was he trying to help me. Since I couldn’t answer that question, I decided.
to ask him.
Why do you ask?” He questioned.
I just wanted to know. I am an inquisitive person and I won’t be able to let it out of my mind if the Question isn’t answered, “I responded and twitched his lips, trying to think of an answer to my question.
“I can’t give you a direct answer, so just think of it as kindness towards you. You intrigue me and I thought it would be better if I kept you close. I don’t know where you live and I figured you won’t tell me if I asked and since you’re new in this pack, I decided to help you,” he explained.
“I was right then, about you liking me. So, was it love at first sight? Or was it when the doctor was treating me? When did you fall for me?” I moved closer to him, wriggling my brows at him.
“Uhm….. Miss Jane, it is not like that. Just as how you are very inquisitive, I tend to get very curious and interested in a person when I set my mind to do that and that’s exactly the case with you. I have no personal feelings for you, cross my heart,” he swore and I nodded.

That is good, it would make things a little awkward for us, considering the fact that I just got out of a relationship and we barely know each other yet. However, I think our relationship has passed the way you define it,” I pointed out, observing his reaction with a side eye.
Define our relationship? Care to elaborate?“,
“That’s exactly what I’m talking about. We live together now, which means we would have to see each other everyday. I don’t think all these formalities and boundaries you’re trying to set are important, “I explained, dreading what his response would be.
“Are you trying to say that we should be informal with each other?” He asked and I nodded.
“Friends, to be precise. Be on a first name basis and definitely avoid speaking to me like you’re in a meeting, “I cringed.
“What do you think?” I asked again and he shrugged.
“Whatever you want. I have been speaking that way because I did not want to appear rude to you. I did not know it was making you uncomfortable, I am sorry,” he apologized and I huffed in annoyance.
If you’re sorry, then why are you still speaking that way? Tsk! “I snapped and he bit his lips together. Am I sure that he is really an Alpha?
“Well…… this is awkward,” he muttered audibly, rubbing his palms on his pants and I smirked.
It shouldn’t be hard, just think of me as a friend and the words will flow out smoothly from your mouth without you thinking of it, “I assured him. He closed his eyes for a moment and took in deep breaths before opening it back.
“What’s your next plan now?” He asked and I shrieked happily, clapping my hands.
“That’s it, the flow. Actually, I don’t know yet. I was searching for a job when I got kidnapped by those assholes. and now, I have no idea on what to do,” I answered truthfully.
“You didn’t get a job?” I shook my head sadly, remembering that Stanley told me I wouldn’t be able to get one.
“Yep. All of the shop owners refused to hire me because of my pregnancy, “I replied.
Why don’t you relax then, just like the doctor instructed? I have a lot of money to be able to take care of you

and your babies, you can start working after you have given birth,” he suggested, but I shook my head again.
As tempting as that is, I would like to decline. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone, even if it’s you. I have learnt that in a hard way since I had no money or anything to do after Damien chased me out of the pack. I had

been relying on my parents and Damien for support and I knew it was time for me to fend for myself now,” I explained to him.
“So, you’re really determined to work?” He asked and I exhaled loudly before nodding in affirmation.
“It’s now or never,” I answered.
No problem, I’ll see what I can do about that,” he assured me and I smiled, smirking inwardly.
This was it, exactly what I wanted. I was going to make sure to befriend him and acquire all the powers that I needed to get my revenge on Damien.
