Mated To Alpha Kessler

“Hello,” Jack’s voice echoes through the room, sending shivers down my spine. I’m a nervous wreck, unsure how to even give a reply.

Unknown to me, Alpha Kessler is right beside me, giving a reassuring squeeze on my shoulder. It gives me the willpower to muster a response.

“Hello, Jack?” I manage to say, my voice trembling slightly.

“Are we still on the same page?”

I gulp hard, trying to hide the nervousness in my voice as I reply, “Yes, we are.”

“What’s the latest as per our plan?”

I steeled myself, ready to deceive him with false information.

“Just the same old plan. I’ll let you know when it’s time to strike.”

“Very good, girl,” my uncle responds.

“How is Annie?” I ask genuinely, concern for her and her pregnancy.

“Why do you care?” Jack’s menacing voice fills the room.

“Expecting your call soon then,” he ends the call abruptly, leaving me with a sense of dread.

I’m left pondering why someone can be filled with such an insatiable thirst for power. Jack’s relentless pursuit of control is alarming.

Once I end the call, Zach excuses himself, stating that Cara needs his attention. Suddenly, I find myself alone with Alpha Kessler.

I don’t know how to face him, playing with my fingers and avoiding his gaze. All I want at this moment is to be far away from him.

For once, I don’t want to rely on anyone’s help. I just want things to be done my way, and now look where it has gotten me.

I know Alpha Kessler is being lenient with me. Already, there’s a bounty placed on Annie.

I can’t stand the disappointment in Alpha Kessler’s eyes as he looks at me, so I stand up and make my way out of his office.

I was hoping he would call me back, and reassure me that everything would be fine concerning the voice I keep hearing in my head. I couldn’t bear to see the look in his eyes.

I made my way to the room and headed straight for the shower. I needed a refreshing bath to soothe the roller coaster of emotions I’ve experienced today.

Under the warm water, I let my thoughts drift, trying to find peace. The sound of the rushing water was a welcome distraction, drowning out the sound of doubt and fear in my mind.

As the tension slowly melted away, I replayed the events of the day in my head. The encounter with Alpha Kessler, the unsettling voice in my head,

Stepping out of the bathroom, I felt relaxed. Tired from the day’s events, I decided to rest for a while, hoping to gain my energy. Thankfully, I drifted off to sleep soon after.

When I woke up, the evening had already set in, and I realized I needed to eat something. I made my way to the kitchen attached to my room. I had a craving for comfort food, so I decided to prepare some mac and cheese.

Just as I started gathering the ingredients to prepare the mac and cheese, my phone began to ring.

I moved closer to the phone and saw that it was Cara calling. With a smile, I answered the call and placed the phone to my ear.

“Don’t tell me you’re still sleeping,” Cara teased.

“How did you know I was sleeping?” I responded, curious.

“I was on my way to your room, but Alpha Kessler stopped me. He said I shouldn’t disturb you because you were asleep.”

The thought of Alpha Kessler intervening to ensure I got some rest brought a smile to my face. His concern was touching, even if it meant delaying Cara’s visit.

“So, the reason I called is that we want to have a girls’ outing this evening,” excitement evident in her voice. “We’ll go to the restaurant and enjoy ourselves.”

“That sounds like fun,” I replied, already feeling a bit more relaxed at the prospect.

“Yes, it’s going to be Lyra, just the four of us.”

As I looked at the mac and cheese ingredients in my hand, I contemplated whether I should join them or not. On one hand, I could use the time alone to unwind, but on the other hand, I needed that release from the tension surrounding me. The girls had been my rock these past weeks, keeping me sane.

“I’m in, Cara,” I replied, knowing she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“Like you have a choice,” she teased, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her playful antics.

“Hurry up, Lyra. We’re waiting at the lounge,” Cara urged before hanging up.

“Okay, let me get dressed,” heading to my wardrobe. I opted for a comfortable pair of jeans and a T-shirt that suited me well. I pulled my hair into a messy bun and slipped on a pair of flat sandals before grabbing my purse and heading out to join the girls in the lounge.

Stepping out of my room, I noticed my bodyguard waiting, as usual, to accompany me whenever I left the pack premises. I nodded in greeting to him before making my way to the lounge.

As I entered, Olivia rushed over and enveloped me in a tight hug. “You look hot!” she exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes playfully and gestured to my protruding stomach. “Even with this?” I asked with a hint of skepticism.

“Trust me, Lyra, when I say it’s true,” Julie chimed in with a smile. “Let’s hurry before it gets dark.”

Cara gave me a side hug and asked, “How’s my godson doing?”

I chuckled at her certainty. “How are you so sure it’s a boy?”

“I have my ways,” she teased with a mischievous grin as we made our way to the car. Soon enough, we arrived at the restaurant.

We settled down as a waiter came to take our order. Hunger had already struck me, so I promptly placed mine.

“I’ll have the grilled salmon with roasted vegetables, please,” I say to the waiter.

Cara orders chicken Caesar salad.”

Olivia opts for fettuccine Alfredo with garlic bread.”

Julie smiles and says, “I’ll have the vegetarian pizza, please.”

The waiter nods and notes down our orders before heading back to the kitchen.

Cara’s blunt comment caught me off guard. “I hope you and Alpha Kessler fuck always, you know you need that for the baby,” she blurted out without any hesitation.

I stared at her in disbelief, never expecting such a direct remark from her. It seemed like Zach’s influence had brought out a bold side of my friend that I hadn’t seen before.

Julie was equally surprised, almost spitting out the juice she had in her mouth at Cara’s unexpected statement.

Glancing at Olivia, I noticed a mischievous look in her eyes. It was as if they had planned to throw me under the bus with Cara’s bold comment.

As we all looked at each other, a shared understanding passed between us, and in a split second, we all started laughing uncontrollably.

Just then, the waiter arrived with our food, and we eagerly started digging in, enjoying the delicious meal.

However, Olivia, true to her mischievous nature, chose not to let the question go unanswered. “I hope you two fuck, I’ve noticed the sexual tension between you two, and I know that you would have fucked yourselves out silly, despite showing us that you aren’t on the same page.”

I looked at her dreamily and replied, “It’s not that I haven’t thought about it. I’ve imagined it many times. But Alpha Kessler and I are not there yet, and I doubt we will be.”

“It’s only because he insists that I come back, for the sake of my safety and the baby’s.”

“I already have my life planned out in Northville, and I hope to go back once I’ve given birth. The only thing tying me to this pack is this baby.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Julie’s response caught me off guard. “I’ve known Alpha all my life, and I know when he loves, he loves wholeheartedly. The way he dotes over you, I doubt he will let you leave this pack even after having the baby,” she said with conviction.

Her words left me stunned, contemplating the depth of Alpha Kessler’s feelings. I couldn’t deny the care and attention he had shown towards me and the baby.

“But I doubt if I still stand a chance with him after what I’ve done, not trusting him enough about Jack.”
