Rejected Slave To The Alpha novel Chapter 6

Chapter Six.

Nelly’s POV.

The car came to an abrupt stop, and I lurched forward, nearly hitting my head on the seat in front of me. Aisha woke with a start, her eyes bleary as she rubbed them with the heel of her hand.

"Get out," a harsh voice ordered from the front of the car. I knew it was Alpha Kex, and I felt a surge of annoyance.

“He couldn't open the door for us, like a gentleman would have?” I whispered to Aisha.

"We are talking about Alpha Kex here," Aisha whispered back, and I rolled my eyes. Yes, I knew exactly who we were talking about.

There was a loud rap at the window, making me jump in my seat. I rolled the window down and came face-to-face with Alpha Kex, who looked extremely irritated.

"Do you need a special request before you step out?" he growled, his voice low and dangerous.

I flinched, my heart racing in my chest. I felt like I was in trouble, even though I hadn't done anything wrong.

Aisha spoke up, her voice steady. "We are so sorry, Alpha," she said, her eyes downcast. "Please forgive us."

With a low hiss, Alpha Kex turned and began to walk away. I quickly opened the door, Aisha and I followed behind him, my heart still racing from his display of anger.

I adjusted my gown, tugging at the fabric, trying to get it to fall just right. I glanced at Aisha, and I could see the same nervous energy reflected in her eyes. We walked in silence, our footsteps falling in unison behind Alpha Kex. I could feel the tension in the air, thick and heavy, as we made our way towards the pack house.

Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence, sending a chill down my spine. I turned to see a woman running towards us, her expression elated. She was petite, with blonde hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in a simple gown, her feet bare as she ran across the grass.

She stopped in front of Alpha Kex, a wide smile on her face. "Oh, Kex!" she said, her voice breathless from running. She pulled him into a hug.

They broke apart from the embrace, and the woman pressed a quick kiss to Alpha Kex's forehead. I turned away, my stomach churning with disgust. Couldn't they have saved this display of affection for when they were alone?

"Oh, I have missed you so much!" the woman gushed, a dreamy look on her face. I resisted the urge to gag.

The woman reached out and wrapped her hands around Alpha Kex's waist, gazing up at him adoringly. He gently brushed a few strands of hair from her face, his expression unreadable.

"Emily," he said, his voice tinged with exasperation. "How are you doing?”

"This pack is different without you here," she said, sounding almost triumphant.

"So I have heard," Kex replied, the ghost of a smirk on his lips.

Emily's smile faltered for a moment. She leaned forward, as if to kiss him, but Kex pulled back, his expression cool and detached.

I cleared my throat, the sound loud and jarring in the silence. I turned to face them. Instantly, the pair broke apart, Emily's face flushed with annoyance.
