The Darling Of The Alpha
Chapter 17

Xander Cohen

I wake up startled and very scared when I don’t feel Camila next to me, I quickly get out of bed and follow her scent, which takes me to the room in front of mine. When I hold the doorknob the memories of last night come flooding back to me.

Camila decided not to sleep in my room anymore, the reason is because she wants to sleep alone, I can’t keep her and even less force her to do something she doesn’t want to do.

I growl and open her door which was previously locked but she no longer has it. I slowly enter her room and listen to her slow breathing, confirming that she is asleep. I approach her bed and observe her beautiful face, her lips parted and her cheeks with a pink tone due to the low temperature that is circulating in the morning.

I sighed and took a seat on the edge of the bed so I could caress her perfect face. Camila is a very beautiful girl and I imagine that when she is a woman she will be the most beautiful of all, she will gain the attention of many and I hope that the connection we have benefit me so that no other person is liked.

“I can’t believe I almost lost you because of something stupid,” she whispered, removing some strands that covered her face. “My beautiful moon.” —I conclude earning a growl from Bruno.

“She’s ours,” he proclaims possessively.

(…)

—Camila, hurry up, it’s late!—I shout from the first step of the stairs so that she can hear me and come down. Today is the first day of class for the mimada and we are already going to be late.

I go to my meeting and Camila to her first class, since the little one is at school I can take advantage and go to the office, I know that she will be in good hands and that leaves me calm.

“Ready,” she murmurs, quickly descending the stairs, causing him to grunt.

“Slowly so you don’t fall,” I reprimand and when she’s reaching the last step he jumps to catch her. “Moon goddess,” she whispered, looking at the ceiling and shaking her head as he held her.

With one hand I grab the backpack and a lunch box with something to eat from Camila and with the other I adjust it better to quickly leave the house where Carlos is already with the Jeep on waiting for me with the doors open.

“Good morning Carlos,” I greet, entering the Jeep and listening to the man’s “Good morning alpha” which causes me to roll my eyes, he puts the car in drive and he already knows where he has to take me, first to the pack school and then to the company.

(…)

Five minutes is what it took us to get to school, I get out of the car with Camila in my arm who has her face on my neck and who then removes her to curiously observe everything around her.

The school is in the center of the pack for safety, since the majority of those here are boys and girls who are under nine years old. The older ones go to the other institute that has access to the forest because they also take hand-to-hand combat classes and in their wolf form, by law all inhabitants must know how to fight.

Even humans who are partners of some wolves in the pack must know how to defend themselves, since you never know what can happen.

I enter the school, I walk straight to Camila’s classroom, I give two knocks and a teacher opens the door and I know by her smell that she is human. When she sees me she bows her head respectfully.

“Alpha,” she whispers, looking at the floor.

“Teacher Madison,” I greet and enter the room, I know the name of almost all the members of the pack but also as a precaution I learned the name of all the teachers in this school, I cannot leave my moon in the hands of strangers.

Most of the boys and girls in the room are wolves, so they lower their heads to show that their wolf side recognizes me as their alpha.

“Is she the moon?” The teacher asks me to which I nod, giving her a smile and Camila looks curiously at all the students until her gaze remains on a fixed point, I look at what she is looking at and I observe my granddaughter. lullaby

I also made sure that she was placed in the same room, I don’t want my moon to feel alone while I’m not with her. I hand Camila’s backpack and bundle to the teacher and squat on the floor to let the little girl down.

“Carlos will come for you and your friend, I’m not going to be able to come look for you because I’ll be leaving work late,” I tell her caressing her cheek, she looks at me with a tender pout and with her cheeks blushing causing her to look more tender. of what it is.

—Do you cut them a lot?—She asks me.

“No princess, I’ll be with you when you get home,” I tell her to which she smiles. “Now go with your friend,” I murmur, nodding with my head. Camila nods.

When she turns around to leave, I get up but she turns around and makes a sign with her little hand for me to bend down. Curious, I do what she asks and she gives me a k**s on the cheek to leave with her friend. her.

I am surprised and looking at her like a silly teenager in love, I watch as the teacher looks at me and I get up quickly from the floor.

“Take care of her,” I say to the teacher, looking at her seriously.

“With my alpha life,” she announces to which I nod and leave the room to go straight to the Jeep, I get in and look at Carlos.

“Did Parker do what I asked?” I ask him as he puts the car in drive.

“Yes alpha, the moon’s escorts are already in their positions,” he comments to which I let out a sigh, I don’t want to get away from Camila but I have obligations that I can’t leave behind.

-Good.

(…)

Thirty minutes and I am already passing through the large doors of the company, I walk straight to the elevator feeling the gaze of many and listening to the murmurs of some, I avoid rolling my eyes.

I enter the elevator and mark the top floor. When I arrive, the first thing that hits my nose is the characteristic dead smell of vampires, but the smell is strong, confirming that the king of the vampires is here.

“Mr. Cohen is finally arriving,” announces a pale Inés.

“Are you sick?” I ask her, to which she denies.

“Everything is fine, except that Mr. D’angelo is already here,” she says, looking away and with blushing cheeks. “Since when does Inés get nervous with a client?” I think and walk to my office, which is where the noise comes from. smell of death

“Wait for me here,” I ask Inés and I enter my office, leaving her with the word in her mouth, I close the door, I look at the stupid Dereck in my chair.

I raise one of my eyebrows and cross my arms.

»What are you doing in my chair, mutated mosquito? – I ask seriously and glaring at him, he smiles at me showing his fangs.

“This is how you welcome me, fleabag,” he says with his arrogant smile, with his fast vampire speed he places himself in front of me.

“If you don’t get away, leech, I’ll punch your fangs out,” I threaten and growl at him, showing my canines.

“Dare you flea,” she challenges me as her eyes turn red.

—When did they stop fighting over who has the biggest one? Pieces of mutated orangutans,” says Felicia, the younger sister and vice president of the mutated mosquito company.

“He was the one who started it,” we say at the same time while not pointing.

“Idiots,” she whispers causing us to g***n, I hear a knock on the door and stop looking at Dereck.

I manage to smell Inés’s smell, it doesn’t go unnoticed how Dereck’s eyes change to a more intense red to return to their natural color, which is a light blue.

“Come in, Inés,” I ask and she enters.

She looks at Dereck and then looks away blushing, I can’t help but raise my eyebrows.

“Mr. Cohen, the meeting room is ready,” she announces.

Seat.

“Thank you Inés, please make sure that no one bothers us,” I request and she nods. “Come on,” I order Felicia and Dereck, they follow me and I watch as Dereck keeps looking at my secretary. We all entered the meeting room except Inés because this is something private.

I don’t really have to close any contract with Dereck, since he just came to visit to screw up my life. When the doors are closed I look at him with one of my eyebrows raised.

»Well?—I ask.

“Well what?” he asks, pretending to be innocent.

“You know very well what I mean, leech,” I point out seriously. “How much do you look at Inés?” I ask.

“Nothing that matters to you, flea,” he answers and I approach him with threatening steps.

-Stop! “Felicia screams, “Dereck tell him the f*****g truth,” the vampire orders and I look at him waiting for him to speak. He lets out an unnecessary sigh while he runs one of his hands through his black hair, looks me in the eyes and lets out what I already suspected.
