Alpha's secret love child
Chapter seven

I woke up after having slept barely a few hours. I was unable to forgot about the events of last

night. Who was the mystery wolf and would he tell someone what he saw?

I couldn't focus on this right now, Alpha Axel and his pack would soon arrive and I needed to helpget the Mansion and packhouse ready. We needed to set up all the rooms at the packhouse, fill thepantry and I brought some of my fresh vegetables and fruit. We needed to decorate the dinningroom in the Mansion and make preparation for Dinner that night. I started at the packhouse,making sure each room looked nice. Alpha Axel was bringing his Beta and the Betas mate. Plus hisDelta and some security. When everything looked great at bedrooms in the packhouse I wentdownstairs to head to Alpha’s mansion. I heard noises coming from the kitchen, people talking veryseriously. Suddenly I smelled Eucalyptus and Sandalwood, I turned my head slightly trying to sneaka peak at the person that smelled so nice. But before I could see I heard Alpha Drakes voiceWelcome Alpha Axel, I wish you would have told us about your changes to the schedule. You'rerooms are almost ready and we welcome you and your guest to attend dinner at my house later thisevening’. I quickly ran out, ran towards the mansion where i closed the kitchen door behind me. Therest of the staff was still busy decorating the dinning room, so I had a moment to calm down andthink. Even I could not deny the very big possibility that the wolf I met last night was Axels wolf. Heeven had his eyes, how could I not have noticed before. This was even more reason to avoid him forthe time being. I didn't know if I could trust him, I thought I knew Axel until he started to ignore meand wanted no contact with me. Maybe he was more like his dad than I thought, if that was the casehe would want to power of my wolf to himself and I didn't even know what this all would mean forElias.

I started getting some things ready for dinner, chopping some vegetables, making some dough tobake small buns later. But my mind was still spinning, I decided to bake some desserts already, Iwasn't a great cook like some of my colleagues but I loved to bake when I had the time. Perhapsthis would calm me down and keep my mind occupied. I made some brownies and something Ihadn't had much practice making : macaroons. I knew making them would require my full attentionand I didn't even notice the rest of the staff coming in making dinner around me. They knew bylooking at me I was in the zone and left me alone. Baking had worked to keep my mind busy, beforeI knew it was time to serve dinner. I was in clean up duty in the kitchen, to avoid the dining room.Every time one of the courses was finished someone brought in the plates and I cleaned them andhelped set up the next plates. It was like an assembly belt, each of us working in sync with eachother without saying much. The last plates were send out, with small pieces of my brownies and amacaroon and some other small pastries made by the other kitchen staff. Dinner was almost over, Ijust needed to help clean up the last plates and I could head home. I didn't even notice the kitchendoor opening until I smelled a familiar scent. I kept my head down and my back turned whilecontinuing to clean the kitchen.

“Dinner was lovely, I just wanted to give my respect to the chef’, a familiar voice said. “ I especiallyenjoyed the dessert ". His voice was almost the same as how I remembered, but more mature andwith more authority. Axel sounded like a real Alpha. I heard one of my colleagues Bill answer while Islowly turned around. I tried to make myself invisible, as small as possible and keeping my headdown. It was disrespectful to have your back turned to an Alpha while he addressed you. Thank youAlpha Axel, you are too kind. It was our pleasure. Most of the dessert was made by our colleague inthe back near the sinks." Bill said. I cursed Bill in my head, why would he mention me while I wasdoing so well staying hidden this evening. Of course I quickly felt guilty for blaming Bill, he didn'tknow the true reason I was back here and just wanted to give credit. Alpha Axel slowly turned hiseyes towards me. I hoped he wouldn't recognize me, I didn't look like that teenage girl he had asummer fling with. I have had a baby and that changes a body, I had wider hips and less perkyboobs (let's be honest), I had gained some muscles from training and lost some of the baby fat inmy face. At 21 1 was a woman and looked like one. But I still kept my head down just in case andnodded as a way to acknowledge his presence. It look like he was smelling the air for a moment andthen turned around and went back out the kitchen door. I couldn't move for what felt like forever,frozen in the same spot hoping he wouldn't have recognized me as his teenage crush or as the wolfhe met yesterday evening.

When I could finally move and felt the coast was clear I grabbed my stuff and headed out the back.It didn't go great today, but it couldn't gone far worse I thought to myself. I couldn't wait to seeElias, but because dinner ran late he was spending the night at Cassandra again. I would pick him upafter breakfast and we could enjoy our Sunday together. I was walking home my mind repeating theevents of today, the way Axel sounded and smelled. I didn't realize his sent before meeting my wolf.When I met my wolf my senses became heightened and I could hear and smell better. But I've neversmelled anyone so clearly, I usually have to stand very close to someone to really smell them likethat. When I hug Cassandra she smells like cinnamon and honey. Brian drinks too much, his scent iscovered by alcohol. Elias smells like fresh cut grass. I love to sniff his head while he sleeps andbreath the fresh scent in. I was almost home when I bummed into something hard and big. I landedon the grass. A few seconds later the scent hit me. No, no, no! I couldnt run away that way hewould know something was up. I softly spoke “my apologies Alpha Axel, I was not paying attentionto my surroundings’. I said while still sitting on the grass. He stuck out his hand and grabbed myarm to help me stand up. “We've got to stop meeting like this, bumping into each other’, he saidjokingly. “You are the wolf from yesterday right? The one that outran me? I recognize your scent.Where you the one who made the desserts as well? They tasted great’. “Yes, that's me, thank youAlpha Axel’, I said while keeping my eyes on my shoes. “Please look up at me’, he said gently “Iwon't harm you or tell your secret’. I instantly knew what secret he meant my wolf felt a sigh of reliefby hearing those words. I slowly lifted my head to meet his eyes. And there he was, beautiful asever. He got even muscular and bigger, with a few added scars I noticed. One that scarred hiseyebrow and could have cost him his eye. Luckily his bright blue eyes were still intact. His goldenhair was shaved on the sides and a bit longer on top. He stared at me for a second before therealization hit him. “Amber! Is that you?!"
