The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha novel Chapter 62

Sitting in silence for a long brooding moment, Adam stares at Alexandra who hasn't said a word since they walked into the cozy restaurant. Observing her as she nibbles on her food, he molds his fist, trying to suppress the urge to speak but the anxiety building inside of him wouldn't let him. If anything, he wanted to know what was eating her up, that way, he could begin to set his plan in motion for the Alpha ceremony since he was already aware that she wouldn't be present.

"Alex…Alexandra, can–"

"I know" she shoots sharply, sniffing.

"You know" He smiles, exhaling deeply.

"Yes I know that I shouldn't bring you here and keep you waiting"

"No that's not it"

"Then what is it"

"I want to know what's wrong with you"

"And I want to tell you Adam, is just…"

Adams stretches his pinna, attempting to hear the next word but a deafening silence follows causing him to groan inwardly.

"Is just what?" He asks, curious.

"Is just that I don't want to burden you" she takes a sip of her orange juice

"You are not bothering me at all"

"I just thought"

He places his warm hand against her palms "Don't think Alexandra, at least not when you are with me"

"Alright" she cautiously slips her hand away, feigning to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and drops her hand on her thigh, aware that her plans didn't involve getting closer to Adam to the point he would have to touch her. He didn't have that right, at least not anymore and that made her glad.

The thought of having a mate like Adam getting close to her whenever he pleases made her blood boil and at that moment, Alexandra felt her hand itching to grab her juice and dump it on him but that would mess things up and complicate her plans even further.

Adam would get mad and demand an explanation, he may even begin to suspect her of trying to play a fool of him and Alexandra wouldn't want that, it would mean she had failed again, and the people who had destroyed her life had won all over again.

"Tell me the what's wrong Alexandra"

"Do you promise not to be mad?"

"Of course, I won't be, what is it?"

"Won't you scold me?"

He smiles, flashing his perfect set of white teeth. "I would never scold you"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, have I ever scolded you?"

"Yes"

Adams chuckles, unbelievably. "Seriously? When have I?"

"When I didn't pick up your call and your text"

"That was different" He states, uncertain.

He didn't expect her to bring up that incident ever again since they had cleared up that matter and he had ended up apologizing and stating his purpose for visitation.

"How is it? You accused me of something I didn't do"
