Alpha Alexander by LS Barbosa
Chapter 143 (Scarlett)
I looked around the pack members who had their eyes wide as they saw me walking beside their Alpha.
His arm wrapped around my waist, and I couldn’t help the low growl that escaped my c*hest as I looked down at it.
He sighed and removed his arm before walking up the stairs, guiding me to the room that he had assigned for me. The room where I was staying with Alexander seemed to be locked, but I didn’t want to think too much about that now. I had to find a way to get out of this place, and the only way that I was going to do so was to compromise.
“This is your room,” he said, opening the door for me. The room was three times bigger than the initial room that I was staying in, and I couldn’t help but frown in confusion at the sight of it. It was mostly empty, a royalty room, with a white bed at the far end and a sitting area. “The room should be fit enough for you to be able to raise our kids if we are ever to have any. It is in our tradition that the pack’s Luna is to stay in a separate room, across from her Alpha when she’s given birth. Given the chance that she would want to get more or less sleep…”

“The idea of you thinking that I would want you to t*ouch me, let alone carry your child amuses me.” I said, stopping him. He stayed quiet for a few seconds and I shook my head at the man. “I have to admit, I am confused by the way that you treat me. One minute, you are this loving Alpha who wants nothing but to protect me, and the next, you are an abusive man. Which version are you?”
“I am a Pakhan, and sometimes, in order to run my pack and family, I am to do things that even I don’t like to do. But that doesn’t mean that I would want to harm you nor does it mean that I ever wanted things to go the way that they did. Your wolf grew angry, and that is something that I couldn’t handle, especially if I was to consider you my Luna.” He said, and I nodded. “And had it been the other way around…”
“What are you trying to do, Scarlett?” He asked, stopping me. I looked down at my feet and he shook his head. “I will excuse your questions because I know that the past few weeks have been hectic on you. But I will have you know, I am not Alexander, and I do not like it when a woman thinks that she can cross her limits with me.”
“That would depend on what you mean by crossing limits. However, I will still apologize to spare myself the trouble and headache of having a random argument when I need a bath.” I said, looking him dead in the eye. He nodded and pointed at the door. “I believe that I have a few clothes to wear. I doubt that you would expect me to wear these ripped ones.”
“These would be thrown, I don’t want you to keep in mind what happened. There are clothes in the closet, most are what I would prefer to see my woman wearing.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow.
“You should be thankful that I am willing to hold on enough not to t*ouch or approach you. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to see you in a certain way.”
I nodded, not wanting to argue. The man can rot in hell for all I cared, but before I got out, I had a certain woman that I needed to help. “Can I ask a question?” I asked, hesitating for a second and the Alpha nodded. He crossed his arms over his c*hest and I looked away from him, pretending to hesitate. “Netanya…”
“What about her?” He asked, his expression h*ardening.
“I know that she was with me in the cell. I don’t know why, and I won’t ask for reasons, but I want to know…”
“She has a kill order, and I am just giving her time to…”
“Killing her, regardless of the reason, would be too easy of a punishment.” I said, stopping him. I couldn’t believe that I was helping the woman who has caused me nothing but annoyance. I knew that her aim was to have Alexander falling for her, but that was something that I was going to be willing to ignore if I wanted to have an alley on the inside.
“Excuse me?” He asked, frowning in confusion.
“I was punished despite me being an Alpha born. My parents could have been killed, and instead, we were demoted to omegas. I became the Alpha and Luna’s maid under the excuse that they were taking care of me.” I said, trying to make things look more discriminating. I wouldn’t be harming her, I wasn’t that type, but the Alpha had to believe that it would be a punishment worse than being killed. “I can’t tell you what to do, but my suggestion to you is if you want to punish her, make her an omega, someone to serve the Alpha and Luna.”
“I take it that you are aiming for your revenge this way?” He asked and I shrugged.
“I gave you a h*ard time,” I said, taking a step closer to him as I lowered my hand toward his abs, gently gliding my finger over his stomach, ignoring the clench that I felt. Netanya’s words played in my ears, and I knew that I had to sacrifice what I thought was right for the sake of getting what I wanted. “And I think that is enough of a revenge for you. However, for her, I am yet to do so, and believe it or not, I do not want to ignore things anymore. It would be a way for your pack members to also respect me as their Luna.”
“In what way?” He asked and I smiled, my smile menacingly cold. It was one that did not reach my eyes, but I also knew that the easiest way to break a pack from the inside is for a pack to lose their trust in their Alpha. And that was something that I planned on doing. “They would know that their Alpha has his Luna’s back, and whoever dares mess with her would be meeting the same fate. Only then would they all, regardless of who they are, respect me…”
