The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha novel Chapter 75

Leaning against her seat, Alexandra smiles. "What do you think?"

"Honestly I don't know anymore"

"I will participate in the contest, I'm an Alpha of this clan after all and my father is the Alpha so is only right that I take part in it, don't you think?"

"Of course, you have to take part in it because if you don't take part, people may start to think you are some weakling Alpha since you are not yet married to Nathaniel"

"Married? How did you know we are getting married?"

"When you have a mate is most likely you have to get married"

"You are right"

"You will win and lead this pack"

"I heard a lot of people are supporting Adam Hawthorn to win"

"Is a tie"

"Equal supporters?"

"Yes but you are stronger. Have you been training as I told you to?"

"I do some laps, race to the woods and all"

"That's good, you also need speed"

"Adam has speed and strength. He's an Alpha"

The female pack member tucks her hair behind her ear. "You are also an Alpha with speed and strength, just watch your opponent moves and trust your instincts"

"Why do you want to believe in me?"

"Because you are the best person to lead this pack, Alexandra Guerrero. There is just more to you and I will love to figure it all out"

Alexandra takes another sip. "What if you are disappointed"

"Will try and welcome it"

"What if I lose and fail to lead the pack?"

"I can live with that but then I believe in you and don't be scared of Adam because of his muscularity. We are werewolves so we are the same as the men, I guess"

"We are not, you just have to keep training" Alexandra chuckles

The female pack member savors the last piece of chicken on her plate.

"I will try my best in the Alpha election ceremony"

"I won't come"

Surprised, Alexandra lowers her glass. "Why?"

"I get nervous and sweaty hands during these things"

"How are you going to get your fantasy mate then?"

"Oh when it comes to love I don't get scared at all"

"You are full of surprises"

"Coming from my Alpha, I will take that as a compliment"

Alexandra smiles, without uttering another word continues eating in silence.

…….

After the meal with the pack member, all Alexandra wanted to do was go home and stay in her bedroom but she found herself wandering around, taking a stroll in the woods and then the quiet pack that was off a sketch of her home.

She had retreated to take solace while filling her mind with memories of Nathaniel.

"The election is around the corner yet here I am thinking about you" she smiles "Will you have come if I had invited you?" She wonders uncertain about the look Nathaniel would have had if she had told him about the ceremony.

"I want to surprise you every day" she closes her eyes and imagines him sitting next to her staring at her intently.

"What is running through your head?"

"You" He whispers

Tears crowd her eyes and she blinks.

"Don't make me emotional, I need to be strong for the contest"

"Do you want me by your side?" He asks

"Will you come even if I had asked?"

Imagining Nathaniel running his index finger on her face, Alexandra gawks at him, her eyes softening.

"Why?"

"Stop doing that" she hits his hand away. "I don't want to get emotional alright. There is a ceremony around and I need to give it my best"

"Why were you possessive of me awhile ago"

Without uttering another word, Alexandra bites her lower lips.

"Sometimes I wonder if you are just my imagination or him"

"Why?"
