The Shadow Alpha novel Chapter 57

“Wake up, it’s time to go.” Ronaldo’s stern voice called out as he unlocked the cell gates and pushed it open.

Yasmin’s eyes fluttered open; she stretched her stiff body as she tried to figure out what was going on, when her eyes landed on me it all seemed to click and she narrowed her eyes at me.

So much for being good friends. I thought unhappily.

Oliver was standing a few feet away, I had asked him to leave us, but as I expected he wanted to keep an eye on her until I glared at him to leave.

“Alpha Allison.” Yasmin regarded me emotionlessly and I nodded a greeting.

“Take a walk with me Miss Hamoudi.” She looked on suspiciously and flinched when she caught Oliver’s bulky frame over my shoulder. Her eyes were guarded as she looked between us.

“Is my punishment over already? I thought for sure you would want to teach me a proper lesson.” Gone was her hesitance, in its place was a mocking smirk. I couldn’t do anything but roll my eyes at her attempt to annoy me again; I turned to Oliver and glared at him till his shoulders sagged.

“Will you be okay, Yasmin?” he asked Yasmin and surprisingly enough she looked to have been taken aback for a split second before she masked it with a cold expression.

Since meeting her she has only displayed three emotions; anger, indifference and arrogance. It honestly wasn’t healthy.

“Fine. Not that it’s any of your concern.” He flinched at her accusatory tone, but didn’t respond; instead he nodded curtly and walked up the stairs and out of the prison.

“Now, how about that walk?” I clapped cheerfully and she looked slightly horrified for a second, but soon reverted back to her blank look.

“I don’t actually have a choice, do I?” she deadpanned and I smiled sweetly, already leading her out of the building.

“Of course not! I wasn’t asking.” She sneered at the obvious tone that I used and I snickered, leading her away from the pack house where many pack members were already going about their daily duties.

We walked for a few minutes before she grumbled something about me being strange under her breath; I ignored the jab and spoke.

“So Yasmin, how do you find the pack?” without having to look I knew she was about to give me a sarcastic answer.

“Very hospitable. The floors are super soft here.” I shrugged and a noncommittal sound erupted from my throat.

“Not my fault you didn’t sleep on the bed that was obviously provided for your comfort.” She stopped short and her face twisted in disgust.

“What the hell! I don’t even know what could be breeding in that thing!” I chuckled at her girly response.

“Should have thought about that before you opened your big mouth and challenged the Alpha.” I shrugged and she glared at me once again, but said nothing.

“What do you want from me?” she sighed after a few moments of silence apart from the scuffling of our feet on the dry leaves. I shook my head and turned to face her, she stumbled not expecting the sudden halt and narrowed her eyes at me for what felt like the millionth time.
