The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha novel Chapter 82

Walking through the hall and into the dressing room, Nathaniel doesn't see Alexandra in sight causing him to sigh.

"Where could she be?"

Striding out, while advancing out towards the ring, he bumps into Alexandra at the doorstep. She gazes into his eyes and he gazes back in silence. Hearing the familiar thumping of his heart beating fast, Alexandra smiles and gently puts her soft hand on his chest.

"I like the way is beating"

"Can you hear it?" A lot of emotions run through Nathaniel's eyes

"Yes"

"I can hear yours as well, steady as it beats"

Licking her dry lips, Alexandra bites gently observing him intently, trying to find something she isn't sure of.

"What?" His baritone voice whispers in her ear

Alexandra opens her mouth to say something but on second thought pushes it aside.

"Nothing" she drops her arm

"Are you sure?" He takes a step forward and she steps backward.

"Yes," she lies glancing around trying not to meet his eyes for fear that he doesn't see right through her.

"I don't believe you"

"Well, that's your problem" she shoots sharply attempting to walk away when he holds her hand, pushing her further into his arms causing her hands to fall against his hard chest.

"What are you doing?" Alexandra's eyes widened

"What does it look like?"

"Let go" Alexandra strives

"Why?"

"Because someone might see us" she glances around

"No one's here"

"Let me go someone might walk in"

"I don't mind"

"Well I do" Alexandra hisses

"Stop that" he whispers

"Stop what?"

"Hissing"

"Why?"

"Because it makes me want to devour your lips"

"Devour? That sounds harsh" Alexandra states, wondering what he meant.

"It makes me want to kiss you"

"Can you stop being so blunt all the time" Alexandra continues to wriggle, trying to break away from his arms?

"Don't you like it?"

Alexandra scoffs. "Why will I like something like that?"

"I thought you would since you didn't get it when I used a mild phrase"

"You said devour, is like trying to say you want to eat my lips out"

"Fine I will use kiss all the time so I won't get misunderstood"

"I didn't say you should use that either"

"So which one will I use?"

"No one" Alexandra states firmly

"Wrong answer Alexandra, you have to tell me an alternative for me to use"

"I don't have any since I don't plan on kissing you again"

"Why?" Nathaniel frowns

"Don't ask me why, now let me go"

"Not until you tell me the reason"

"Why must I? Now let me go"

"I will hold unto you tightly" Nathaniel glances around "I wonder where they are" He whispers

"Who?"

"Your pack members"

Alexandra's eyes widened. "What? Why would they come here? Did you invite any?'

"Yes I did and she is a little bit too careful"

"Who? Tell me her name! Hurry!"

"Her name is Alexandra Guerrero" he smiles and she calms down, staring deep into his eyes.

"Why? You didn't think I would invite someone else to come when I want to spend time with you"

"You want to spend time with me" Alexandra feels her face redden for a moment

"Yes I do know what word should I use to replace kiss"

"Nothing"

"How about mating?"

Alexandra's eyes widened. "Are you crazy? What if someone hears you?"

"Relax there is no one here and besides I wouldn't mind sealing the bond between us"

"Nathaniel"

"What?"

"You are being naughty"

"And is getting your heart to beat faster, and your hands sweaty"

"That's ridiculous"

Leaning closer to her ear, his warm breath fans her face as he whispers. "Are you perhaps nervous or what?"

"I'm not nervous now quit playing around and let me go"

"I'm not playing around Alexandra. What makes you think that I am?"

Hearing the words roll out of his mouth, Alexandra tries to form the right words. "Are you serious?"

"Yes I am"

"Well… well–"
