The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha novel Chapter 48

Realizing herself, Alexandra bites her lower lips, no one knew about that night and she didn't want to make a big deal about it.

"Yes he was nagging me about something"

"In the middle of the night"

"I didn't say it's the middle of the night"

"Alexandra!" He states aloud. "Can you at least be honest with me for once? We are mates"

"I don't want to make a big deal out of this"

"Why didn't you lock your windows?"

"No one would dare enter the house of an Alpha to steal. The guards will catch them"

"What about your sister's case? Have they caught the rogues?"

Alexandra scoffs. "You certainly an expert at pissing me off"

"Is it working?"

"Maybe"

"Then tell me what Adam was doing in your bedroom at night"

"I already told you" stomping her feet on the ground, she moves to a seat

"No you didn't, you are dodging the question"

"Dodging? You're sounding as though I am cheating"

"I didn't say that"

"Your words implied that"

"That's not the point Alexandra, what's so hard in telling me what he was doing in your room at night"

"I already told you, he was nagging me for something"

"What was he nagging you about that he couldn't do in broad daylight"

"Oh he did in daylight and my house"

"Now I'm curious to find out"

"Honestly drop it" she states firmly

"I'm your mate, I deserve to know"

"Are you?" She raises her brow "Last I remembered you regret our marriage agreement so do you even have the right to be called my mate"

"Alexandra!" He yells and she gazes into his eyes firm and unblinking

"What? Did I strike a nerve? You should have left it when I told you to"

"Only guilty mates would want their mate to stop asking questions about them"

"Just what are you implying?"

"You know damn well what I'm saying"

"I don't! Care to elaborate?"

"Well that's too bad, I don't have the time"

"Nathaniel!" She glares at him

"What? Do you think you are the only one with a heart?"

"I told you to stay out of my business"

"And I did until now. We are mates so there's so much we should know about each other. Ask me anything and I will give you an honest response but when I ask you, you play around"

"Play around? Sounds as though I was a child"

"Call it what you want"

"You are the one who wants to ask questions, I have nothing to ask you"

"Why? Every other mate would ask each other questions. That's what normal couples do"

"We are not normal"

"I beg your pardon"

"We are two people who the moon decided to attract their wolves together to become mates and then you and I thought we could make that happen by entering into a marriage agreement"

"Just what are you implying?"

"That we are not married so stop acting as though we are, we are just mates"

"Come with me to my pack"

She bites on her lower lips wondering why he still brought this up when she had already given him a response and doesn't think her mind would change since she was mad at him.

"Aren't we way past this?"

"And I told you that I don't give up"

"I can see that, you are truly Alpha Nathaniel, at least from the stories I've heard"

"Are you pleased?"

"Hard to say since you keep asking the same thing"

"Until we depart I won't stop asking"

"What if you don't change my mind"

"I can change your mind"

"Such confidence, told you I love to surprise people"

"Is not confidence, I will keep trying till I conquer that's the words of an Alpha"

"Haven't heard about it"

"Because is one of my principles"

She smiles averting her gaze to her wrist watch realizes how fast time was flying. Dropping her gaze stares into Nathaniel's eyes searching for something she isn't sure of.

"Did he even call a mechanic?" She thinks to herself

"What about the mechanic?"

Nathaniel glances at the wristwatch. "He should be here any moment"

"Are you sure because that's what you said when I walked in"

"I said that I was going down to meet the mechanic but since you came I texted them that he should come to my room once he gets here"

"When did you text? I didn't see you"

"You must not see me, just have it in mind that he will be here"

"What if he doesn't?"

"Why won't he?"

"Because you never informed him. Is there even a mechanic?"

"Just what are you implying? That I'm making up stories"

"I didn't entirely put it that way"

"What other way would have made it sound better?"

"I don't know"

"The thing is you doubted my words. Why will I deceive you? What intention could I have for doing so?"

"I don't know, you tell me"

He runs his hand through his hair, and his face him saddens

"Can you be honest with me Alexandra?"

"About what?"

"If it was your Adam Hawthorn, would you doubt his words?"

"My Adam? Have you lost your mind? Since when did he become mine?"

"Don't you want him to become yours? Isn't that why he comes to your house often and even sneaked into your bedroom"

"Nathaniel!" She yells, enraged. "Don't you ever say that again?"
