A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 113

"What the hell?" I spoke, glaring up at one of the bodyguards named Francis, who suddenly just got in my way when I tried getting into the car and heading out to meet Lionel and Tatiana for our picnic.

We had planned on meeting up at our usual spot by four, so I stayed back after my work closed to get a few markings and grading done for the tests I had on my desk. This way, I would not have to take them home. Once it was three thirty p.m., I stepped out of the office and locked the door, hoping to head out only to have Francis step out of line when I got to my car.

He was doing more than his job at this point. I didn't understand his goal, and I didn't want to. I had a place to get to, and I didn't want him making me go late.

"I'm sorry. We just received instructions from the alpha to bring you home."

"What the hell? If the alpha wants me home, he would have called. Now get out of my way before you get yourself in trouble." I snarled at him, but he didn't move away like he should, instead, he nodded at the second guard Bruce. They both took hold of my hand and pulled me away towards another car, ignoring my struggles and protest.

"I am sorry, Ms Adams. We are just doing what we were told." He said and gently pushed me into the car. I entered and wrapped my hand around my left wrist which felt sore from having struggled with them to be set free.

They shut the door and entered. I rested my anger. They weren't to blame, they were just following orders. Aaron, however, deserved to be blamed. He knew I had plans for today and he decided at the last minute to step in and change the course of things just because he could. Lionel and Tatiana were probably at the park waiting for me now and here I was, being driven home."

The car stopped at the park estate after thirty minutes drive and I stepped out and stormed into the house. I ran into Ivan on the way in and he spoke to me but I was too angry to hear or even give him my attention as I headed for the study where I'd found Aaron these last few days.

Once I got to the door, I pushed it opened and stepped in. As expected I found him, seated across the room, reading.

He glanced up at me at the intrusion and a smile spread across his face but it vanished the same second after seeing the look on my face.

"Zera," he started, rising to his feet, but I didn't let him finish his words.

"What is this?" I bellowed, my face turning red and my hands balling into a fist.

He looked around me as if trying to find what I spoke about and after failing, they returned to me and he asked. "What?"

"Do not fucking act clueless with me!" I snapped, pointing my finger at him. "Why did you tell your guards to drag me home when you know damn well I had plans with my family?"

He sighed and walked towards me slowly. "I am sorry. You're right, I knew your plans to meet up with your siblings today and I did not mean to be the villain, but I had to be. We believe the rebellion pack will strike today and we don't know how or why, and I can't take any chances."

"Sesi went ahead to Lionel. She would keep him safe until we are sure of our next step," he answered and I knew he told the truth.

"And Tatiana?"

"She as well. I sent the beta Jude to monitor her," he answered, telling me he had all the things covered.

"Thank you," I said. Knowing that my siblings were safe was a relief.

He took hold of my cold hands. "I should be the one thanking you. You've sacrificed everything for me, and I don't know if I'm worth it."

"You're worth it and more." I tilted my head and kissed his lips before wrapping my arms around him.

I admit I was a train wreck and I also knew how rebellious I could get especially when backed into a corner and I was grateful for the man Aaron was. He always had his plans and always saw ahead. I didn't say it as often as I should but I was glad to be his. Glad that he was mine and glad that we were together.
