Alpha Adryan novel Chapter 58

Jade carries the pile of books in her hands, as she walks towards the house from the pack library. Opening the front door, she realizes that everything was dark inside the house, her brows scrunched in confusion, she thought Adryan might have returned by now after training the new pack members, but she thought wrong as she took in her surroundings. The house was empty it seemed, as Adonis was with Violet, who was happy to entertain the toddler as Jade was busy handling things.

Holding the books with one hand, while the other searches for the light switch. She turns on the living room lights, keeping the books she brought along with her on the table, she moves inside the house. She uses her werewolf senses to guide her. Just as she was about to pass the balcony, suddenly lights lit up outside the balcony door, catching her attention.

Wanting to check it out, she moves towards the door, sliding it open she's awestruck and shocked by the view in front of her. The lights that had initially caught her attention were actually fairy lights, that covered most of the balcony, even the tree branches that extended towards the balcony. The sight in front of her was beautiful and magical, to say the least, at the centre of it all was a small table for two people, covered with a tablecloth and on top of it laid a bottle of wine and food along with cutlery. The thing or rather the person that caused her heart to beat too fast was standing in front of her, she was surprised at his sudden appearance, but the smile on his face made her heart race even more.

Dressed in a brown coloured button-down shirt, with sleeves rolled around his elbows, and black casual pants, with his hair, was messy as if he had been running his finger through them. He looked otherworldly as the lights from the fairy lights illuminated his face.

"What-?" when she manages to find words to question him, as she looked around her surrounding once more.

"Come" her eyes moved to his at that, as he stood in front of her with his hands extended for her to take. Gingerly, she places her hands in his, which he wraps his own hands around as he leads her towards the table set up in the middle of the balcony. As they reach the table, he pulls out the chair for her like a gentleman, making sure that she was seated properly, he moves to sit opposite to her.

Her eyes take in her surrounding once again, to the food in front of her. Her mind trying to comprehend what was happening.

'Is this a date?' she questioned herself with her brows furrowed.

"It is a date," Adryan says as if reading her mind. Her eyes meet his ocean blue eyes, his eyes taking in her face. He's been watching her as she looked around, and he knew immediately what she was thinking.

"Why?" she asks, then realizes her mistake. She didn't want him to think that she didn't want to be there of her own will. "I didn't mean it like that." she immediately corrects herself.

"I know" he smiles at her. She couldn't take her eyes off him. She felt underdressed in her summer dress and wild hair but Adryan's gaze on her made her feel beautiful.

"Did you cook this all yourself?" Jade asks as she now took in the plate of food placed before herself. The pasta looked well cooked, with cheese melted on top of it and the aroma of it just made her mouth water with hunger. There was even freshly baked bread kept on the side. As she was studying the food before her, Adryan scooped up pasta from his plate onto a fork, extending it towards her mouth, so that she could taste it. Looking up, she's startled to see the fork full of pasta in front of her. Opening her mouth, he feeds her, and all the while her were on him. She felt warmth spread throughout her at his actions.

Her eyes widened as the flavours hit her taste buds, she had to stop herself from moaning in delight.

"To answer your question, I cooked it myself mostly, I had a bit of help," he says. Happy at her reaction to the food he had cooked. This was the first time he had made an effort to cook for someone else, he had Violet's help as she instructed him on what to do. He was nervous to see her reaction but he was relieved to see her positive reaction to his cooking.

"It's delicious. You need to cook me food more often" she says complimenting him causing him to appear a tiny bit bashful.
