Through The Eyes Of My Alpha

Chapter 18 

NADIA. 

Although I was upset with the picture I saw in Riley‘s room, I couldn‘t be angry with him. 

For starters, the female could be his sister or a relative. It just made me realize that I knew nothing about him. But then, I hadn‘t even been here for 24 hours yet, so I shouldn‘t have expected that he would tell me everything in his life in the few hours that we spent together. 

Second, if that female was Andrea, should I really be upset? Or should I be thankful that she chose another Alpha and left Riley alone, giving me a shot of having him for myself? Because I was certain that if Adrea was still here, I‘d be spending my days in the cell, or worse, back with my uncle, rejected and unmarked. 

So maybe I should be celebrating that Andrea isn‘t around here anymore. 

But if there was anything I wanted to know, it was who Andrea was and where she stood in his life right now. But then again, it would all go back to the fact that we just didn‘t have time to talk about her yet. 

One day, maybe, but until then, I would try my best to just shove her off to the back of my mind. I was the one here with Riley, not her. 

And just as long as she doesn‘t show up here and stake a claim on him, I should be fine. 

I stepped into the shower broken–hearted but came out of it with a clearer mind. 

I have two months. And the odds were on my side. 

While drying my hair, I was already thinking of grabbing some of his clothes again because I still had to pick up my clothes from the basement when I caught sight of my folded clothes on the couch where he said he would be sleeping last night. 

I went to pick it up and saw a small note attached to it. 

They were from Riley. He was apologizing for the little brown burn stain on the back of my blouse because he tried to iron and press it, but the fabric was too thin and it got slightly burnt. And the note ended with a reminder that he‘d wait for me for breakfast. 

I couldn‘t help but smile as I picked up my blouse and checked the back portion. There was indeed a slight discoloration, but it was nothing obvious. Heck, he could burn it all and I would still not feel the least bit angry at him. 

He was actually making me feel giddy with the thought of him ironing my clothes. I couldn‘t get rid of the thoughts in my head about how sexy he must have looked, especially if he was half naked while he did that, 

Riley. He still amuses me, 

If I based it on the things I heard about my mate, I should be scared. They said he was a good Alpha, but it was hard to stand in proximity to him because his aura was too strong, and if he didn‘t like you, he would not hesitate to show it. 

Would that mean he liked me, maybe a bit, because he has been nothing but nice to me: Or was I just reading it wrong? 

Or maybe he was trying to like me too. Besides, he has no one now but me. So I should really take advantage of this instead of overthinking, right? 

I folded the note he left me and pressed a kiss on it before slipping it into the pocket of my jeans. I then took all the clothes with me and dropped them on the bed before I took off the towel covering my body and slipped the clothes on. 

I didn‘t have any make–up with me or anything to make me look better, so I just kept biting m y lips and pinching my cheeks to add color to them. And when I thought I was ready to face my mate, I hurriedly went to the door, casting one more glance into his room to make sure I had set everything back in its place, except for the photo frame, before walking out of the door and closing it behind me.
