Through The Eyes Of My Alpha

Chapter 20 

NADIA. 

Riley welcomed me into his pack with a bang, and I couldn‘t get enough of it. I had no plans to mark him, but when he said I could bite him anywhere, I guessed my inner desire surfaced, and I was happy that he didn‘t stop me from doing it. 

I didn‘t know if he noticed, but I wanted to stake my claim and mark my territory. 

But if anything, he looked happy about it. I couldn‘t forget the way his eyes were twinkling as he brushed the hair off my face after I marked him and after we shared a kiss. If I based it on his expression, I would assume that my mate liked me too. 

And I wish I was right. 

We just finished buying clothes for me, and although I was insisting on buying a few pieces of each, my mate was adamant about buying more. I couldn‘t keep track of all the costs, but I was hoping if the contract continued, he would not deduct them from the money I was asking from him because he bought a lot today. It was probably more than what I have bought new in my whole life. 

I was even exaggerating. My uncle was not poor, in fact, they had money, but I never got a taste of it. They would always give me hand–me–downs and a little money when I was still in school. So the moment I was allowed to work, I found a job and started earning for myself. But then my earnings went to my savings and I had to share expenses at home, so I still didn‘t have enough to buy new clothes. 

Katarina would be the one handing me new clothes. It‘s usually new ones that she just doesn‘t like anymore, but I don‘t believe her. I knew she was buying those for me and she knew I would not accept it if she said it that way. So she made me feel guilty that the clothes would go to waste if I didn‘t take them because she would never use them. But either way, I was thankful to her. 

Which reminded me that I had to call her and tell her that the big, bad, grumpy Alpha turned out to be my fated mate. 

“Anything you want more?” Riley’s mouth was on my ear and his breath was fanning over my skin, sending shivers of pleasure down my spine. 

You. I only want you. All of you.

I smiled as I tilted my head to look at him. Our faces were just inches away, and it was taking too much of my restraint not to smother his face and kiss him. 

Lately, I‘ve been getting too aggressive with my actions, and although he would stop me from going further most of the time, I was happy that he was returning the intensity of my kisses. 

I snapped away from my thoughts and scanned the area, checking for other fruits that I could buy. Riley had just paid for the oranges that I asked him to buy, and I thought I would love to have some apples and pears, so I took his hand, which he tightly gripped in his, and we walked towards the other side. 

We passed by a vendor that was selling little trinkets and fridge magnets, and he called the Alpha‘s attention. 

“Maybe you want to buy some Alpha? These are handmade.” 

“How much are five pieces of this?” I asked while Riley was bent down, checking the items. 

“Two dollars and fifty cents for five pieces.” 

“Then we will take ten.” I nudged Riley‘s stomach with my elbow. 

He looked and winked at me before turning his attention to the vendor. 

“We‘ll take twenty.” He told him, and I couldn‘t wipe the smile on my face. 

The vendor jumped to his feet and began showing us the majority of the nicest ones, and when we had twenty pieces of fridge magnet, he placed them inside a plastic bag before handing them to Riley. 

“No discount for us?”

“I will take just nine dollars, Alpha. The one dollar is a discount for you and your lovely female.” 

But I cut him off before he could say anything.
