The Alpha’s Exclusive Stripper by Selena Madrid
Chapter 9
“YOU are wrong,” I whispered softly and wiped my aunt’s tears. “I didn’t give up on living. What are you even saying? That’s ridiculous. After today, I will leave this place with a happy heart knowing that you are alive. You’re all I’ve got, aunt. You are the only thing keeping me together so please don’t ever think negatively about this.”
She sobbed.
I lifted her h*ands and k*issed both of them before I planted a k*iss on her forehead. “I love you.”
I didn’t know any form of love when I left the villa, the most beautiful but also the most poisonous place in the kingdom. I was told that my mother died after she gave birth to me. Growing up, my father treated me like crap. The only time he was nice to me was the day he sold me off, when we went out and he bought me a new dress after taking me to a restaurant.

That was also the only time I saw him smile at me, the only time I got to eat a decent meal when I was with him.
When he left me at the gate and I screamed his name while trying to run off to him, the staff in the villa held me by the shoulder. Dad never stopped to look at me for the last time. He was too busy counting the money he was given.
I’d never heard of him since then, since the day he threw me to hell only to live in paradise at my expense.
The only love I knew was the love Addison had given me. She loved me even when I couldn’t love myself. She was that amazing.
“I love you too, Pri. I love you so much,” Aunt replied while caressing my cheeks.
“If you love me, then stop crying.”
I smiled at her and she smiled back despite the sadness I could see in her eyes.
That’s when I felt him.
My owner.
My omega trait had made me hyper s*ensitive when it came to alphas. But that sensitivity seemed to have doubled when I met Trevor. It was like all of my senses were very much aware of him. Like now. He was standing by the door. I could tell without looking.
And his gaze was back on me again as if he was telling me that it was time to go.
I took a deep breath and indulged myself in Addison’s warm embrace since I had no idea when I could do this again. I closed my eyes when I felt her h*ands
rubbing my back just like the old times. She was humming something. She used to do it for me every night for a month when I would wake up screaming in my sleep.
“Please take extra care of yourself from now on. I will ask Spencer to have someone look after you for the time being. I will also give you a call whenever I can.” I released her and brushed off the remaining tears in her eyes. “I have to go.”
“So soon? I heard that Trent is on his way here now. Can’t you stay a while, Pri? It’s been a long time since the three of us got together.”
I heard the disappointment and longing in her voice. How could I tell her that the reason why she was here in the first place was because of me? The longer I stay here, the more I expose her to danger.
I’d missed Trent too. He was the only male friend I have. And I wanted to see him too. But that wasn’t possible right now.
“We will all meet again. Let’s not do it in a place like this though. This is a terrible place for a reunion.”
“When?”
“One day, aunt. Just… not today.”
I rose but she grabbed my h*and.
“I owe you my life now. And I will spend every day being thankful for what you’ve done for me. But next time, don’t risk your life for me again, Pri. I believe I’ve lived my life. You and Trent fulfilled my dream of being a mother. But you, you are too young. You are only twenty-three. There are still so many beautiful things in this world that I want you to experience.” When I didn’t answer, she added, “Be safe, alright?” Worry crossed her face. “And please, stay in t*ouch.”
I nodded.
It was h*ard to leave her before. And it was h*arder now. Still, I forced myself to move. When I opened the door, Trevor was no longer there. Instead, I caught Spencer leaning against the wall after I shut the door. It was as if he had been waiting for me there.
His h*ands were in the pockets of his leather jacket. Even when he could feel me standing in front of him, his eyes remained closed. He looked a little tired.
How many women had tried coming to Oblivion because of him? Because of his face? I’d lost count. Some of the dancers had even confessed that they were there hoping that Spencer would notice them. All of the dancers and crew there except me were college graduates and yet, they were sticking around.
Because of this guy who wouldn’t even spare them a glance.
In the far-end of the hallway, I saw Trevor talking to a doctor. I joined Spencer and leaned against the wall beside him.
Now, because of the alpha and my boss, the female nurses and even the patients walking around would stop a while to stare at them dreamily. I know they could feel the people’s gazes but none of them cared. I wished I could be like that too.
Or better yet, I wished I could switch positions with these women.
“I’ve been thinking about it,” Spencer muttered suddenly. “By chance, have you met Alpha Trevor before, Priscilla?”
My brows furrowed. “No. Never.”
I only saw him from the window when his pack came to the villa. But none of them saw me or any of the omegas at that time. The staff had made sure of that. “The search for his luna had stopped. There were rumors saying that he ordered it to stop last night. And you were with him last night. Did you know about it?”
So, that was the search Trevor was discussing with Weston in the elevator? I thought… I shook my head and replied, “No, I don’t.”
“Then why was the alpha acting like that? No matter how I think about it, it’s strange.”
“What do you mean? Acting like what?”
Spencer finally opened his eyes and glanced at me as if he was trying to see something in my eyes. “Like he would burn everything who would come between the two of you, like he would burn the world for you.”
