The Silent Alpha
Chapter 8: First Sight
***Natalia***
Fk! F**k!
"KE V scream internally as I clock out and race out of the clinic.I’m going to be late!”
"Talia, wait!" Travis calls out as I rush past him in the parking lot.
Travis is a tall man with rippling muscles trying to break through his scrubs, with tan skin and the sexiest tattoos on his arms and chest.
He is the cute radiology tech every girl was pinning over.
But like every sexy man, he’s trouble; a known playboy who had all the girls in the clinic wrapped around his finger and for good reason too.
The man knew how to bend you over a desk and make you his slut.
"Sorry, Travis, but I'm late for picking up Dakota!" I call out breathlessly as I scramble to the bike racks.
"Doesn't Sarah usually pick him up?" he chuckles as he trots over and watches me put on my helmet.
"Yes, but she's out of town visiting family for a few days which means I have to pick him up," I smile impatiently, unlocking the bike.
She was actually on business with some werewolves but I was not about to tell Travis that was running from her ex, a dragon King hellbent on dragging her back to his kingdom.
Being on the run, she and I both changed our names.
She was Sarah Davis while I was Talia Ramos.
"Well how about I give you a ride to the daycare center," he says, giving me his mischievous grin.
"And then maybe we can talk about you going to dinner with me tomorrow night? Say 7 o'clock?"
I have to physically restrain myself from reaching over and smacking him over the head with my bike lock.
Travis and I had fooled around a few times before but I had always made it clear that this was just a business transaction.
No feelings, just a good f**k.That was the deal.
"Travis," I sigh, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath.
"We have a good thing.Don’t ruin it, please.I'm not looking for anything else," I shrug unapologetically.
"I'm not interested ina relationship."
"Oh come on Talia," he smirks.
"You know I’m crazy about you...Look I know I have a reputation but I’m not lying.You’re amazing ...different from every other girl in this God forsaken town I frown at him.Does he take me for an i***t? He is literally a walking red flag! “
"Travis, stop it.I’m not interested."
"I could take care of you and Dakota,"
He murmurs, his finger grazing my arms and I shiver in annoyance.
"If you let me.Don’t you want Dakota to have a dad?" anyone to take care of me.
Dakota and I were just fine on our own.
Kota didn’t need a father.He had me...
"I'm sorry, Travis but I really have to go," I shrug, pushing past him and climbing on the bike.
"will you at least think about it?" He shouts as I pedal away and I fail to respond.
Oh Talia....
I mutter to myself.
What the f**k did you get yourself into? I push aside my thoughts about Travis and try to figure out what to do with Dakota while I’m working my shift at The Masque.
The only other people I know are Micah and Niki...
.Does Niki work tonight? f**k i can’t remember.
I arrive at the daycare center, the parking lot completely empty by now.
I curse Mrs.Freedman, my last patient, for talking her head off during her visit, and hurry into the building.
Through the large glass window, I peer into the classroom and see my little boy hard at work on a coloring book, his little red backpack already on his shoulders.
My heart skips a beat as I watch him color, his eyes furrowed in concentration and his little brown curls hanging low over his forehead.
Sensing my stare, Kota looks up at me and smiles with excitement, closing his book and jumping out of his seat.
I rush into the classroom and get down on my knees, spreading my arms out wide to receive him.
He collides right into me, nearly "Mommy, what are you doing here?"He giggles excitedly.
"Where’s aunty Gwen?"
I push back his curls from his face and stare into his beautiful big eyes.
They were unlike the eyes of any other, one eye being a gorgeous shade of cerulean and the other being the envy of chocolate with swirls of brown and amber.
Heterchromia wasn’t all that common and my Kota’s eyes were the talk of the town when he was first born.He was the little blue and brown eyed boy everyone loved.
I hear footsteps behind me and smile apologetically at the frowning teacher.
"I’m so sorry, Mrs.Henry.I had a patient today whom I could just not get rid of!" I chuckle nervously.
Mrs.Henry sighs heavily.
