Without having to turn, Alexandra could put a name to that familiar voice echoing in her ear, tensing up as she attempts to turn but on second thought comports herself, breathing out.
"A penny for your thought"
She licks her lips, moaning softly. "What are you doing here?"
"I came looking for you"
"I told you to go" she states hastily turning around
He laughs. "You were thinking about me just now"
Realizing it was just his imagination, she taps on the space beside her and he walks closer to her and reclines next to her.
"Everything turned out the way you wanted" Nathaniel states
"I became the Alpha"
"Is what you wanted"
"Is what I wanted"
"Now you get to lead your pack the way you want"
"Yea" she smiles but it didn't reach her eyes which didn't go unnoticed by Nathaniel
"What's wrong?"
"Is nothing" she stares into space
"Talk to me"
"I wanted this so much and now I got it, I just… I just feel scared"
"Why? This is what you wanted or don't you want it again?"
"Of course, I want it so much"
"Then what's wrong?"
"What if I mess up? What if I can't handle everything? What if –"
"Hey is going to be Alright" He smiles and Alexandra imagines him holding her hand. "I know I don't know much about being an Alpha since am just an imagination but I'm sure you will have a great beta and all to support and help you out when it gets difficult"
"He offered to help me out"
"Who?"
"Nathaniel"
"And?"
"I told him I would think about it"
He shakes his head disapprovingly. "What's there to think about?"
"How?".
"Just say yes"
"Should I?"
"Of course, you should, is Nathaniel, your mate"
"You are right"
"Call him now!"
"What! No, I can't call him now"
"Why?"
She glances around playing with her hair while trying to form the right words.
"I'm trying to play hard to get so if I just call now it will mean that I didn't think it through while I told him that I was going to think it through"
"You sure did," He says, unfazed.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well is you, When something good is in front of you, you just want to ruin it by wasting time. If Nathaniel wasn't your mate, I'm certain any lady would want his attention"
"Any lady"
"Yes"
"And what about me?"
"Well it doesn't seem like you want me"
Alexandra rolls her eyes. "You sound as if you are him"
"I'm him, maybe not technically"
"You are not," she laughs. "You are just the perfect annoying imagination of him," she says, causing him to laugh hysterically.
