Killing My Alpha Mate
Chapter 42

"Alright, shall we?" Nisha says drawing my attention towards her.

"Sorry I..." She halts, squinting her eyes and observing my features.

I'm sure she could see the fear lurking in them.

Turning to the side of the hallway Lord Perry walked through he was gone.

I rub my elbows nervously knowing that is no empty threat.

Lord Perry is a wealthy powerful man: two elements that can get him anything he wants.

What did he mean by that?

"Hailey, what's wrong?" Nisha asks, troubled.

"No nothing" I lie, my voice betrays me by wavering.

"You sure?" She pushes.

"Yes," I say with more force, managing to smile.

"Alright let's go shopping, I'm starving and stressed, though I would have loved to hit the spa but Elijah doesn't like the idea of me being exposed in a room when he's not in charge, I'm sure Jaden wouldn't mind would he?" She starts the conversation as we head through the hall.

"Not one bit" I joke knowing how jealous he could get.

"Only if we're in a single room with two hunky men and void of towels" I raise my eyebrows making Nisha chuckle.

"Real funny," Jaden says sneaking up on me via mind link.

"Is there any way you can block out the mind link?" I ask Nisha.

"There should be Elijah does it all the time it's a gift and a curse but I don't bother blocking him out I'll only return to tell him every detail later," she says giving a warm smile her eyes gleaming, I'm guessing she's talking to him.

Well, I don't like the feeling of being split in three, Helen, my best companion, already has my thoughts to feast on.

"You didn't split baby, that part of you belonged to me, to begin with" butterflies roll low in my belly and I get why Nisha doesn't block Elijah out: his voice soothes me.

"Grab a red lingerie too" Jaden says and now I wanted my personal space back.

"Please leave"

We head into Nisha's spider car.

I walk into the car, a bit surprised she knows how to drive.

"So Nisha, how did you meet Elijah?" I ask, a bit curious.

Starting the ignition she puts the car in gear before saying

"At a war" I laugh out loud but stop when I see her keep the same expression focusing on the road.

"You are joking right?" I ask.

"Not even a little bit, My pack Blood Moon clan had an enmity with this one and Elijah was the one in charge of the ambush on my pack, I was heading to the safe house when I ran into him." She narrates smiling.

"I must have been on fire cause I felt myself melt underneath him the enmity had been settled a month later the day the peace treaty was signed Elijah claimed me and faced a lot of complications before he could bring me back here to face his duties as Jaden's Beta and best friend"

"Aww that's so romantic," I say, staring at her, love at war.

"Shut up so what's your romance story"

I bring up the thought that Jaden's story was nothing romantic.

But Nisha was waiting patiently and I couldn't leave her hanging.

"You know the usual happily ever after story"

"Rough beginning I'm guessing"

"That's an understatement trust me" I chuckle looking back at how we made it here.

"That's cool the best love stories have the worst beginnings" which was true but I wish the story could erase some of the down side.

"Coffee or smoothie?"

"Ehmm a little caffeine won't be bad now" I understand why she asks a while later as she heads to a restaurant's drive-thru and orders for both of us.

The snacks are mouth-watering.

A muffin, scones, jelly doughnuts and cupcakes with coffee.

We eat in silence as we head to the shopping mall.

The tall building is hugely crowded with a lot of people, a lot of stalls and mini shops, I have no idea where to start.

17

'Crescent stall" Nisha yells her eyes in awe as she looks at the name in the distance alluring, making our choice for us.

Stepping through the crowd we head through the glass doors.

The smell of the place is divine; it's a clothes store and I'm guessing Nisha's favorite as she runs into the store touching every piece she walks by.

"Good day ma' anything you have in mind?" A girl in the store wearing a cap and t-shirt that states crescent asks.

"Not really I'll check around" she smiles waving me in and that's exactly what I do, I walk through the store and the clothes racks high so I couldn't replace Nisha hoping she stops daydreaming and returns soon.

I walk through the racks. The clothes looking beautiful and really expensive.

Seeing a beautiful green gown that calls to me one I'm sure will match my emerald necklace touching the fabric underneath my fingers, it's soft and silky underneath my finger tips, about to remove the gown for closer inspection, I feel a tug at the other end. Pushing the gown aside I see a red-haired lady's hand on it.

She must also want the gown I let it go sure I'll replace something else.

Hey" She calls out to me.

"Hey " I smile pleasantly, peering at the gown in her hand.

"The gown won't fit, I'm a small size but it would look perfect on you," She says, placing the gown in my hand.

She had a nice small with high cheekbones and brown eyes scaring she reminds me of another version of myself that's not thick.

"Thank you-.

"You really should tell me before leaving" A voice that makes my heart skip says.

His eyes trail from my leg up to my face, his eyes flaring in recognition.

"Hailey... He trails.

"Hey Dim. Dimitri" my voice catches in my throat.
