MY BESTFRIEND SLIPPED INSIDE ME (AN ALPHA’S SECRET) - Season 2 Episode 83

Xade’s pov

When I got back inside the house, I made a beeline for Avery who was seated on the sofa and chatting away with Kaylee and mom. Mom’s brows pinched in worry when she spotted me and Avery looks just as worried.

” Xade?”

I picked her up, making her flush as I hug her closer to my body in front of everyone. I bury my nose in the crook of her neck, the tip of my nose brushing against my mark on her neck. She shivers. ” Xade?”

I kissed her neck and then place her on her two feet. “I need to go buy a few things but I will be back soon,”

“It’s not safe, you should let someone else-

Mom started but I cut her off. ” No, I’m the only one who should buy this. I won’t be long,” I reassure her and Avery who’s still staring at me with worry. The skin between her brows are furrowed and lined and I reach up to rub it off her pretty face.

Don’t look so worried,” I whisper, leaning down to kiss her softly. “I will be back soon. Don’t miss me so much,”

She chews on her lower lip, obvious concern etched on her beautiful face. I squeezed her hand reassuringly and left. Time was ticking in my ear, the impending arrival of Alister when Dad tells him what was going on, and then there was Milian. A man I do not know other than that he is presumed my mysterious aunt’s mate.

If fate was knocking down at our door every step we take, then I’d want us to be one step ahead. I want to marry her, do right by her. Marriage is something humans do and I know V always dreamed of it.

I dreamt of it too, marrying her, seeing her in a beautiful white dress.

More determined than ever, I peeled off my clothes. Being in wolf form would be faster than taking the car. Most of the people living around here are werewolves anyway. Besides, I’ll keep my clothes in my jaw and put them on before I step out into the opening.

Buying her that ring is one of my top priorities right now. However, I had one stop to do first before getting her the most beautiful ring.

Her mom. She may hate me right now but I could not propose to her daughter without her permission.

I shifted in my wolf form. The familiar feeling of my bones and muscles realigning makes me happy. Being more in the human world because of college and having to hide my true nature from Avery had been tough on my wolf.

I didn’t get much time to run through the woods or be amongst my people much because of this.

With my clothes clenched in my jaw, I hasten through the woods. When I arrived at Avery’s old house, I shifted back into my human form and quickly got dressed. I stood still, watching the house quietly as I steadied my breathing.

I can sense more than ten wolves from our pack surrounding the entire area to protect Fay. One came toward me, his eyes questioning. I sent him off, not caring to explain why I was here since it was none of their concern.

I step out of the woods, my heart ramming in my chest. I may receive another slap but it will be worth it.

I walk up to the door and lift my hand to knock. My knuckles scrap against the wood, creating the thudding sound that beckoned one to answer. I waited, hearing her footsteps getting closer, her heart pounding as well.

Was she scared?

I frowned.

The door creaks open, slowly at first as her head tilt to peek behind the door. When she spots me, she opens the door wider, her expression tight with a suspicious look. ” Xade right? What are you doing on my property?”

Her tone is not as harsh as it was earlier, but it wasn’t nice either.

As I look at the woman who had been like a second mother to me, I couldn’t help but spill out the truth. “I love your daughter Fay,” I breathed, my voice thick with emotion. ” And I want to marry her.”
