The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha novel Chapter 9

Nathaniel glances around the large dim room with pictures decorating the wall, a fireplace that keeps the room warm during frigid weather, and soft cushions.

Observing the placement of furniture and antics, Nathaniel could tell what type of man Bernard was even though he had not met him. Once the rain had stopped and the midday sun cast through the city, Alexandra and Nathaniel left the restaurant, returning to the Guerrero house.

"So who is it?" Bernard asks as he strolls down the stairs into the living room with Olivia, Veronica, and Alexandra trailing behind him.

Entering the living room, Bernard halts as he meets Nathaniel's intense gaze, firm and unblinking looking into his eyes.

Advancing towards him, Bernard extends his hand. "Bernard Guerrero, Alpha of the Guerrero pack"

Nathaniel rises, shaking his hand. "Nathaniel Starkov, Alpha of Crimson pack"

Hearing his deep baritone voice, Olivia gawks at Nathaniel, she hadn't seen such a handsome man, whose demeanor sent chills down her body. She wonders what he was doing in their house and how Alexandra had met him.

"What brings you here?" Veronica asks

"I invited him here" Alexandra states from behind and they stare at her.

Olivia scoffs, infuriated. "Why?"

Gazing into their eyes, Alexandra moves towards Nathaniel, standing next to him, Olivia boils with anger, her heart ripping apart with jealousy. "Alpha Nathaniel here is my mate"

Startled, Olivia and Veronica gawk at them.

"What…what did…did you just say?" Olivia stutters

"Nathaniel is my mate"

"How is that possible?" Veronica asks

Observing them, Nathaniel had confirmed his suspicion, even though he didn't know the entire story, he had realized Alexandra must have had a tough time with her family.

"How is what possible?" Nathaniel gazes at Veronica and she clears her throat realizing herself.

"Nothing… em… you're welcomed to our home Alpha Nathaniel, I hope we will see again" she leaves and Bernard goes after her, uncertain what to say.

Olivia stares at Nathaniel and Alexandra, overwhelmed by jealousy, she had never expected her mate to be such a muscular man, whose biceps hide under his shirt. Olivia molds her fist, uncertain what to say, she leaves and Nathaniel looks at Alexandra.

"Are you okay?"

She smiles. "Of course"

"Your family, they are a lot" He adds, uncertain of the right words to say

"A lot?" She raises her brow, curious

"Nothing"

"Okay. Wait here, I need to change my clothes"

"Alright, take your time"

Without uttering another word, Alexandra leaves and Nathaniel stands up, strolling towards Bernard's portrait hanging on the wall, next to it is Olivia and Veronica's portrait. He glances around, realizing there was no picture of Alexandra hanging on the wall, a lot of things run through his mind. Moving away, advances towards the lovely art of a wolf, and a smile creeps on his face.

"That's me"
