I thought Nadia would join us for late lunch, but my Beta said he sent food for her upstairs. Although I wanted to see her, it was better this way. I didn‘t want her around with anyone at the moment until I got a chance to talk with her. 

Jake has already gone home. He did not want to stay later since he wanted to be home by midnight. He told me his Luna was pregnant and, although he trusted his Beta and Gamma, he never wanted to be away from her, especially at night. 

The fucker was still smitten with his Luna. If I based it on his track record before he got mated with Clair, I would never even guess he would end up being mated or loyal to one female. 

I wanted to get back at him and taunt him about the way he looked so fucking happy while talking about his Luna, but then I remembered Nadia. 

Maybe it was the same thing. I couldn‘t explain the flutter in my chest when I saw her at the border today. It was like my body came back to life. I started breathing again. I just hope I can make her stay. 

My Beta told me how Nadia‘s eyes brightened when she found out she could stay for more than one day. It gave me hope. Maybe she would want to stay here. 

And if Jacob was right, she might need my protection. And I could take it to my advantage. Make her stay without forcing her, and find my way into her life. 

But how? I couldn‘t even fix my own. I looked at the clock overhead. It was almost dinner time, and although I‘d been here in my office for the last couple of hours, I didn‘t get anything done. 

My mind was still fucking blank. She kept occupying my mind. But if there was anything positive, her presence was snapping me back to reality. 

I wanted to be an Alpha again, fix my own life, and prove to her that there‘s no better mate than me. It will be a lot of work, but if she just gave me a chance, I would be up for it. I stood up from my chair and brushed my hair with my fingers. After lunch earlier, I went and shaved my growing beard to the regular length I was used to having before I started slacking off. Maybe I would look less scary without the tons of hair on my face. 

I chuckled despite myself as I walked to the door. I never cared about how people viewed me. I just wore clothes and fixed myself as I pleased, so it fucking feels strange to want to look better and good–looking now. I was growing up backward and starting my teen years just now. 

“Just right in time, I was about to inform you that dinner is ready.” Beta Dominic was outside the door and was about to knock when I opened it. I scrunched up my nose as I walked past him. 

“I‘ll skip. I have things to do.” 

“Or female to do?” He snickered, and I turned my head around and threw him a glare. 

“One more time you say something like that about Nadia, I‘m going to cut your fucking balls.” 

He raised his hands in the air, but he was still grinning. I let out the grin I was trying to suppress before turning around. 

“But tell Lydia to save something for me and Nadia. We‘ll eat dinner together.” 

“Yes, Alpha!” He answered in a happy tone before it turned serious.
