Slaved To The Alpha

“I’m sorry!” He backed off right away when Greco realized that he shouldn’t do that. “Those bruises… you don’t have any of those when we were still inside the dining hall.” He asked as he was just looking at her firmly.

She shyly looked away and hid her bruises from him, although he had seen them already. “These are nothing. I tripped on my way out. That’s why I got these.”

“What? Where exactly did you get trip? To a cliff? That looks really serious.” He asked once again, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice. It was obviously not from being tripped to somewhere, and Greco knew that. He just wanted Krisna to tell him that herself, but it looked like she had no intention of telling him that fact.

“There’s nothing more to it, okay? I got tripped really. Do you want me to give you some, too? In that way, we’ll have a matchy tattoo.” She insisted on saying that with too much sarcasm in her voice. She was able to laugh and smile again, so Greco just agreed to her so the conversation wouldn’t run too long.

Greco put his hands up like he was surrendering. “Okay, okay, okay. No thanks, I give up. I don’t want any of those bruises on you. Leave my own pretty face alone, Krisna.” He told Krisna then, later on, they both laughed at each other.

Krisna didn’t know that she was able to meet a friend when she was going to come with Asthrid to the Annual Pack Gathering. She wasn’t expecting for herself to be able to laugh genuinely again. It seemed like good things were really going to happen if you expect less from people. Asthrid was always too cruel towards her, and that was the kind of life she lived on for years. Not until Greco came and she was able to experience another kind of freedom. Different kinds of freedom from when she was going training with Fravis back home.

“To be honest, something happened back at the dining hall while we were there. Didn’t you feel it, Krisna?” He asked her in a serious tone of voice. She was trying to think it over but couldn’t understand what he was trying to say.

Her forehead creased, and she looked at Greco with a very curious facial expression. “What happened? Was it when I was dismissed by Alpha Grant’s mother?” She asked him, but a few seconds later, after Greco just stared at her pretty little face, he shook his head left and right to disagree with her.

“No, it happened when you were still there. I know that you know something was happening back there. Can you please tell me?” He asked her. He was trying to give Krisna a clue, and she knew about it, but she was only trying to fight it off. She didn’t want to think about her being the Alpha’s mate. That was why she wasn’t telling Greco anything.

Krisna pretended not to know anything about what Greco was asking and just looked at him. “Hm? I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Greco.” She said with a baffled facial expression. She pretended not to know anything because she had decided to ignore what was destined for the future. She didn’t care about that at all.

At this point, Greco was a little too confused as to how Krisna was acting. She should have known by now. They should have common knowledge about it, but why was she acting so strange about it? Greco was really determined to know, and he wanted to ask Krisna everything about it.

Greco breathed a deep sigh, and he was trying to gather all his courage to ask Krisna. After a few seconds, Greco started to walk a few steps away from Krisna with his hand in his pockets. Then he turned back to look at her again. He looked really serious, and the moon was behind him. “Did you feel anything strange when you were inside the dining hall together with Alpha Grant’s mother and, of course, the Alpha himself?”

Krisna was too shocked by what she heard. She didn’t really expect Greco to ask her about that. She gulped when she saw how serious Greco looked. His eyes were reflecting the moon’s light and her body shivered all over down her spine. What was that all about? Greco looked like a totally different person at the moment. But after a minute, Krisna was able to regain her senses. She blinked and let out a deep sigh.

He really wanted to know about what she felt when she was inside the hall with Alpha Grant. Did he also get the feeling of the pull? He also got suspicions about what was happening between her and the Alpha. Greco wanted to know if Krisna was also feeling the same way as the Alpha because the Alpha was sure that it was Krisna who had the greatest pull.

Krisna came back to her senses and gulped once again. After a while, she stood up straight, smirked, and scoffed. “I don’t know what exactly you are trying to ask me, and I don’t know what answer you want to hear from me. But one thing is for sure, Greco, I didn’t feel anything while we were in the dining hall because all I felt was anger, and at the same time, I was worn out from all of Asthrid’s petty commands.” I told him in a serious tone of voice.

Because of that statement, Greco felt relaxed this time. He didn’t expect her to say those words when in fact, he already knew that Krisna was the woman destined to the Light Sky Pack’s Alpha. How could she say that to him? Was she only denying it, or was there really no feeling she got?

Greco nodded his head continuously and slowly walked in her direction. He smiled at her and scoffed. “If that is the fact, then so be it. I just wanted to ask you, and it seems like nothing strange happened earlier.” He went and agreed with her. After that, he looked at his wristwatch then back at Krisna. “Oh, it’s getting late, Krisna. I should head back now. It’s really nice to see you, and I hope to see you again tomorrow.” He said with a smile on his face.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
