The Alpha's Mysterious Mate ( The Fate Series Book 1)

Tessa's POV: 

Thankfully, the doctor said that my injuries were not too serious.I would just have to change the dressing on the wounds every day myself.

When I got discharged, Alvin picked me up.He then asked me out for dinner tonight.

I honestly looked forward to it.I agreed and Alvin said that he would pick me up at 6 o'clock.That meant that I had two hours to get ready.

Immediately, I called Patricia to help me get dressed.She picked out a silky, black, and backless dress for me.

At first, I thought that I would be too overdressed if I wore this.I thought it was just going to be an ordinary date.

But Patricia insisted, saying that the dress suited me, and asked me to try it on.

While changing, I heard Patricia gasp out loud.

"Patricia, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Tessa, come quick.I have news for you."

Patricia tended to exaggerate on normal things, so I didn't really take her seriously.

After changing into the dress, I walked over to her.

"What news are you talking about?"

"It's about your man, Tessa.Here, have a look."

Patricia handed me her phone.

With both her hands now free, she started to work on my hair.

If anyone would be first to know about any gossip in the Red Maple Pack, it would be none other than Patricia.

After all, she always browsed the gossip section of the pack’s home website.

The headline on her phone said, "Beta Alvin, spotted running out from premature ejaculation, perhaps?"

I quickly scrolled down to read more.

The article reported that Alvin was seen at the Haagen-Dazs store very early this morning, but he left in less than three minutes, looking to be in a rush.

Two pictures were included.

One was a woman in revealing clothes holding Alvin's wrist at the door of the shop.

The other was Alvin running out the shop with a tub of ice cream in his hands.

Obviously, I knew why Alvin was there.

But who was that other woman pictured with him? Why was she wearing such clothes so early in the morning? Why was she even holding Alvin's wrist? I wondered what happened between them in the shop.
