Chapter 107


    Chapter 107


    Caden’s POV


    Why did you leave my bed without my permission?”


    I know exactly what I sound like. A caveman. I can’t help it though. Waking up to find her side of the


    bed empty had put me in an instant bad mood.


    Finding the ce cold had just added salt to the injury. How did she manage to sneak out without my


    knowing? That both amused and scared me. I felt so rxed around her that I had unknowingly let my


    guard down. A slight noise or movement rouses me up from any sleep no matter how dead-a s s tired I


    may be. Yet, I had managed to sleep through her sliding out of bed, rummaging through the room for


    her clothes, pulling them on, and then sneaking out of the room unnoticed.


    “I didn’t realize that I need your permission to go-to my room,” she says, sounding snarky and grating


    on my already frizzled nerves.


    “Watch your tone,” I warn tired of her attitude.


    Our interaction has gotten the attention of most of the people surrounding us. They can watch and


    come up with whatever it is they desire. I don’t give a d a m n about any of that.


    “Oops,” she rushes out, her hand pping over her mouth as her eyes widen as though she has made


    a grave mistake. “I’m so s-sorry. I forgot to take your permission.” She mockingly takes a bow. “Your


    Royal Highness, may I please have your permission to speak?”


    I swear I hear a few snickers from around us and it makes my irritation morph into annoyance. Why is


    she so childish?


    let my gaze flow over the people around the room, my eyes rying my words, and everyone rushes to


    do their tasks. They may be trying to do an illusion of working out but I know that they still have an ear


    out for our conversation.


    Stop that attitude and get on with your workout. I want you to drop down and do a hundred and fifty


    push-ups.


    know it’s going to be hard for her to do that after not being physically active for weeks, but she needs to


    push herself and get back to her former self.


    Or what?” She ends the question with a raised brow and a bratty smile.

    Chapter 107


    I don’t take pleasure in hurting ady but I suddenly wish that I had her over myp. Her a s s cheeks


    would bear the brunt of my anger and she wouldn’t be able to sit well for a week.


    Instead of telling her about all the colorful things that I’ve envisioned in my head, 1 close my eyes and


    breathe in through my nose to calm my breathing.


    I’m already nicknamed the Ruthless Alpha. What would everyone say if I pulled her into my arms in


    front of all these people and made my fantasies be a reality? Although I have to admit that it will


    be fun to see how Alessia will react to it.


    “Why are you smiling in that manner?” She asks in a shaky voice, her eyes staring at me warily.


    I was smiling? It would seem that thinking about taking Alessia over my knees has lifted my mood.


    Straightening my face, I level her with my sterner look. “Start working on those push- ups.” Leaving her


    standing there with that confused look still on her face, I walk over to Alex who’s turning a punching


    bag into a rag doll.


    Everything alright?” I ask as I stay at a reasonable distance from him. I’m not about to catch one of


    those flying punches.


    He grunts, still pouring his frustration out on the poor, defenseless, inanimate object.


    stay silent, knowing he wille to me himself if he thought that it was something hat I could help him


    with. Or something that he needs my opinion on.


    e slows down his punches until itpletely stops. “How did the date go?” He asks, ulling off the


    gloves in his hand. “I’m assuming that it was fantastic, seeing as you were osent for a whole day.”


    nce when did Alex turn into a gossip? I wouldn’t bat an eye if this wasing from aphael, but Alex?


    That’s a whole new thing. Just as I’m about to voice out the thoughts my head, Raphael pops up


    beside me, looking overly excited.


    What are y’all talking about?” He asks, draping his arm across my shoulder and making e grind my


    teeth to keep my remark in. “Is it about the fact that Caden and Alessia are ally mated?” He asks


    innocently. Too innocently.


    bes the whole pack house know about it?


    verybody heard us?” I ask the very obvious question anyway.

    Raphael nods, actually managing to look sympathetic. “I don’t think anyone is going be bothering her


    again after hearing what we all heard. Basically, everyone knows how crazy you’re for her. I mean, we


    all heard it for hours.”


    He’s looking super happy as he fills Alex in about what had happened the previous day. He doesn’t


    leave anything out.


    Lucky B a s t a r d,” Alex muses at the end of Raphael’s storytelling. “You got to spend the whole day in


    bed with your mate and no interruptions.”


    far gaze


    away.


    He sighs wistfully, his is really stressing him out.


    It would seem like their new addition to the family


    “Are you trying to kill her?” Raphael asked, his gaze fixed on something or someone behind me.


    I turn around to find Alessia struggling through her push-ups. She’s dying out there but she doesn’t


    stop. I don’t realize I’m watching her like a prevert until Raphael’s head pops in front of mine.


    “You really love her, don’t you?” His face is about to split into two from how hard he’s grinning.


    I ignore him and his questions and head over to Alessia, ready to relieve her from her punishment.
