Kayden’s POV
I stared into her beautiful eyes, no doubt they looked even more beautiful and captivating today. I felt a strong urge to grab her and kiss the hell outta her but then what reasons would I give for that?
My head however seemed to ignore my thoughts as it moved closer to Mantha, her eyes were slightly closed as I moved even closer to the small, pink lips that seemed to have been made just for me.
I pressed our foreheads together and our lips were just about to touch when the door opened.
“Oops!”
I quickly opened my eyes and helped Mantha stand straight.
“I… I am sorry if I interrupted anything, I would just take my leave now.” mum said with a shy smile on her face and I ran my hand through my hair.
Mum was sure going to read deeper meanings into this incident.
“You didn’t interrupt anything mum,” I replied her, walking over to my bed.
“What do you mean? I would just leave right away, sorry to disturb you,” she said and walked out of the door.
I sighed softly and took my eyes towards Mantha, she quickly looked away from me, I could tell that she was nervous.
The way her toes curled told me that.
“I… Do you still need my help Alpha?” She asked with a cracking voice and I sighed.
I honestly could not give a reason for almost kissing her, what came over me for a moment? She just seemed too attractive at the moment with her ruffled hair, she looked so much like her at that moment.
The moment was quite nostalgic.
“Pack my things,” I ordered her and stood up from the bed.
“You want me to ask what that was about before you are going to tell me?” Jay asked and I groaned.
“C’mon, that was nothing, perhaps a surge of dopamine,” I replied.
“Really? Dopamine?” Jay scoffed.
“Jay, let’s not think about that, “I replied.
“Really? Why did you almost kiss Mantha? Are you …”
“Don’t say rubbish. ” I cut him off.
“Why cut me off?” Jay groaned.
“Because you are becoming talkative and you are doing nothing but spitting rubbish,” I replied him as I pulled off my pyjamas, ignoring Mantha’s presence.
“Alpha…” She trailed off as she stared at my abs. I watched her gulp as she stared at me, her eyes fixated on my body.
“I….”
Somehow, I seemed to enjoy her being speechless.
“What do you want to ask?” I asked, still keeping on a straight face.
“D…. do you…. do you”
“You can’t speak no more?” I asked.
“Do… Do you want to take your laptop with you?” She asked, looking elsewhere sharply.
“Yeah, sure,” I replied to her and she nodded repeatedly.
“I… I would continue packing Alpha,” she said with another slight bow and turned her back against me immediately, packing up my things with shaky hands.
A smile subconsciously crept up my lips.
“You just smiled!” Jay said with surprise and astonishment in his voice.
Realizing that I was guilty of that, I masked up with a deep frown.
“Tell me, why did you smile?” Jay asked.
“Can you keep it down, Jay?” I asked.
“So I don’t deserve to know why you smiled?” He asked as I tied a towel around my waist and headed into the bathroom.
“I smiled for no reason,” I replied.
“You have to tell me.”
“Jay, we have much more important things to talk about, right?” I asked him and heard him sigh.
I had just reminded him about the attacked pack. He kept quiet immediately and I took my bath, a long and cold bath.
I walked out of the bathroom and met my bag already packed but Mantha wasn’t there.
I looked around the room, her scent was still held up in the air and it seemed to not calm only me but even Jay.
Nothing in the room had been touched inappropriately making me wonder even more what was behind her, she has had different opportunities to take whatever she wants from my room but not even once has she touched my things, she has not even gotten so attracted by the expensive things.
“She is probably scared of what you will do to her when she steals.” Jay breaks his silence.
“Or what you are going to do to her?” I asked.
“Hey… You are more brutal than I am.” Jay insisted and I shook my head, ignoring his words and dropping my towel to the floor.
I dressed up in some random clothes, I picked up my golden wristwatch and put it on, I checked the time, it definitely would soon be time to leave.
I picked up my phone and dialled Mantha’s contact, she has to tell me why she left my room when I didn’t say so.
She picked up at the first ring.
“He… Hello Sir Kayden” her voice came.

Samantha’s POV
I was still touching my lips slightly, my fingers grazing it. I wondered how good it must have felt if he kissed me and I seemed to wonder even more what the reason could be for him almost kissing me.
“Are you sure you are okay? You don’t want to talk about what is going on in your mind?” Cassie asked and I shook my head to indicate the negative.
I didn’t want to tell her about the almost kiss experience I had with Alpha Kayden, she might just want to make others think absurdly about it and that would place me into more trouble if Miss. Lauren hears about it.
“You are not going to tell Cassie but Samantha, don’t you think he is so handsome and hot?” Cara asked.
“You are right! He is!” I affirmed, there was no need to deny a clear fact, everyone with and even without eyes knew that Alpha Kayden was hot and handsome.
“What could be the reason he wanted to kiss you?” Cara giggled.
“Cara, why giggling? You hate him, right? You hate him for doing nothing about the issue of slavery, right?” I replied to her with another question.
“Forget about that right now,” she said and just as I was about to reply, my phone rang.
It was Alpha Kayden as usual. I picked up the phone with my heart pounding hard against my ribcages, I could not help but wonder what he was going to say to me… Was he going to talk about the almost kiss?
“Hello…. sir Kayden,” I said immediately I picked up the call.
“To my room.” his voice came, colder and distant than usual.
It was the type of voice that could be said to be me having gotten into some huge trouble with him.
I gulped in hard as I gripped the phone tightly.
