Alpha Ricardo’s POV
She fell into my arms, while I easily held her and pulled her to myself. ”Mine!” Eric spoke possessively. We interlocked eyes with each other and I could see she had the most amazing set of sea-blue eyes I have ever seen on anyone. Everything in me was urging me to touch her face, but I held and composed myself.
Quickly, I made her stand to her feet but realized she was staggering, forcing me to wrap my hands around her waist. ”Let go of me.” She spoke stubbornly and moved away from my grip. ”Get away from me.” She grumbled drunkenly and began walking away.
I watched her slowly climb the stairs while she supported herself by holding the handle of the stairs.
Worried, I stood and watched her, making sure she was okay until she left my sight. With a heavy sigh, I collapsed on the couch and tiredly massaged my forehead. ”What are you going to do?” Eric asked, but I couldn’t give him a response because I didn’t have an answer to it. ”She hates us so much.” He grumbled hurt, but I didn’t give him a response.
I knew Mia hated me and nothing on earth would make her forgive me and, to be frank with myself, I don’t really deserve her, not after what I did to her.
With a sigh, I stood to my feet and teleported away. I appeared in my private room and was about going to the bathroom, but noticed Mia was on my bed, sleeping heavily. Obviously, she missed her way.
With a sigh, I walked to the bed and climbed on it. Her blonde hair covered most of her face, preventing me from seeing it. Carefully, I took her hair away and gazed at her perfect face. Mia was indeed beautiful, and I wonder why I never took notice of it. Maybe I was blinded by hatred. With a frustrated sigh, I went for her feet and took off her shoes. I stared at her one more time before covering her properly with the blanket.
When I was sure she was covered properly, I left the bed and went straight to the bathroom. I took a quick bath, changed into my pajamas and went back to the room.
I met her sleeping heavily and the sight of that made my heart flutter, bringing a strange feeling in my stomach. I stared at her one more time and wanted to leave, but my wolf stopped me. ”Stay!” He pleaded, ”I doubt that’s a good idea.” I declined, but he refused. ”You just have to stay a little longer.” He pleaded and I finally agreed.
With a deep sigh, I sat on the one-seater couch and fixed my gaze on her. Who would have thought that a day like this would come where I would sit and watch her sleep. ”She is beautiful.” Eric whispered in my head, and I agreed with him.
I sat and fixed my gaze on her, but noticed something was strange. She was murmuring in her sleep, and it felt like she was struggling with someone. Quickly, I stood to my feet and climbed on the bed. ”Mia!” I called and shook her, but didn’t get a response from her.
She kept murmuring and began throwing her hands up in the air like she was struggling with someone. ”Mia!” I called out in panic and roughly shook her body in fear. ”Mia!” I yelled and lifted her up from the bed.
With panic, she opened her eyes and held my gaze with terrified eyes. ”What…” She didn’t let me speak when she fell into my embrace. She held me tightly while she panted with fear. ”What is wrong?” I asked, worried, but didn’t get a response from her.
Her body shook vigorously with fear as she panted with panic. ”It’s okay, I’m right here, no one will hurt you.” I comforted her, and tried caressing her hair, but she pulled away and held my gaze with anger and hate.
”How dare you!” She spoke, furious and left the bed, ”How dare you have the guts to comfort me, after causing me so much pain!” She yelled with so much disgust for me in her eyes. ”Stay away from me!” She warned and began picking up her shoes. She gave me a death glare before storming out of the room.
With a frustrated sigh, I sat on the bed and roughly ran my fingers through my hair. I could tell she had a really terrible dream, and it was obvious she was already used to having such dreams. A groan left my lips when I realized I knew nothing about her, which made me anxious, wanting to know what was going on in her life.
”Maybe you should ask her.” Eric suggested, but I didn’t agree to it because I knew she would never tell me.
I stayed all night pondering with thoughts until I realized it was past 5am, and I didn’t get a single sleep. Exhausted, I stood to my feet and began taking off my clothes.
After undressing, I teleported away from my room and appeared in the woods. Easily, I shifted into my wolf and allowed Eric to lead the way. He raced around the dark woods until morning and still didn’t bother to take a rest or stop. ”Alpha Ricardo.” Jayson called through mind link. ”I can hear you.” I responded, still racing.
”The training has just started, do you wish to come.” He asked, ”No, Fill up my space.” I responded, ”Alright, I thought you would attend, seeing that Mia is here.” He announced, forcing me to take a halt.
”Mia is there?” I asked to be certain I heard him right. ”Yeah, she insisted she wanted to train.” He explained. ”I will be there.” I responded and ended the mind Link.
Quickly I shifted into my human form, teleported and appeared in my room. Hurriedly, I went into the bathroom. I took a quick bath and dressed in a pair of black jeans, but didn’t bother to put a shirt on.
I teleported away from my room and appeared in the big field where half of my pack members were undergoing training. The moment they noticed my presence, they stopped and lowered their heads in respect, while I nodded my head as a response. Searching for someone, I moved my gaze around, and spotted her beside Jayson.
She held my gaze for some seconds and looked away. I watched her talking to Jayson, who responded with a chuckle. With a frown, she attacked him, but he grabbed both her wrists and positioned them behind her. She struggled to free herself, but her struggle was useless. He continued holding her until she finally gave up, and he let go with laughter. I watched her punch his arm while he pretended to be hurt and chuckled loudly.
I felt jealous and hurt. I was supposed to be the one training her, she was supposed to laugh with me and not with anyone else.
”Just go to her.” My wolf suggested, and I agreed to it. I made my way to her and walked past some partners who were training against each other.
I got to her and saw a big frown appearing on her face when she noticed my presence. ”Thank goddess you are here. Can you fill up my place, I will be back.” Jayson didn’t wait for a reply before walking away, although I knew what he did.
I could hear her grumbling within herself as she watched Jayson leave. ”I will start from where he stopped…” ”That won’t be necessary, alpha Ricardo.” She cut in and tried walking away, but I stopped her by holding her left wrist.
With an irritated groan, she held my gaze with so much anger and disgust. ”Your training isn’t over yet.” I spoke in an authoritative tone while holding her gaze. I watched her burn with hate and anger as she held my gaze. Staring into those eyes that hold nothing but hatred for me, I remember how a few years ago, those sets of eyes were always happy to see me. I knew that no matter how much I showed her I hated her, she was still coming to me; I wished I could turn back the hand of time and rewrite my wrongs.
”Fine!” she spoke furiously and stood before me with folded arms, giving me the opportunity to take a look at her.
She was wearing black shorts which stopped on her upper thighs, exposing most of her laps. She wore a black fitted crop dress which exposed some part of her stomach and her hair was packed in a bun. She was looking so sexy that I lustfully stared at her, but composed myself the moment I held her gaze.
”Are you done undressing me with your eyes, alpha Ricardo?” She asked with raised eyebrows while I composed myself but didn’t say a word.
Unexpectedly, she threw a punch at my face, but I was quick to avoid it. Instantly, she tried attacking me, but I easily threw her on the ground. With a groan, she stood on her feet and tried throwing a fist at me, but it landed in the air as I moved away and pinned her wrists behind her. A frustrated groan left her lips as she realized I had already won. With a smirk, I turned her over and we both interlocked eyes. She held my gaze with so much disgust, which made my wolf whimper in pain. Just when I was about to let go of her, I received a hit on my Dick. ”Shit!” I exclaimed in discomfort and let go of her wrist. She had hit me with her left knee, and it was damn painful. ”Look like I won.” She spoke nonchalantly and walked away without looking my way. With a groan, I watched her walk away while I felt discomfort between my thighs because the kick was intense and painful. ”That was unexpected.” My wolf mocked while I groaned and teleported away. I appeared in the mansion’s sitting room and went straight to the bar. I took out a bottle of whiskey and a glass. I walked back to the couch and collapsed on it. I filled up the glass before taking a sip of it while I smiled at what happened few minutes ago. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also intelligent. She just needed to undergo a little training, and she would be good to go. I emptied the glass and stood on my feet. I dropped the bottle of whiskey and glass on the table and teleported to my room. I took out a black shirt from the closet, put it on and teleported to my office which was attached to the mansion.
I appeared in my office and sat behind my work desk which was filled with documents that needed my attention.
With a deep sigh, I picked up a pen and began going through the documents. I was still going through the documents when a knock came on my door. ”Come in.” I gestured and the door opened. I saw Chris, my personal secretary, walking in with documents in his hands. ”Greetings alpha, Beta Jayson request I give these to you.” He said while I signaled him to leave it on the desk, which he did and left.
I continued working for hours until I looked through the window and realized it was already getting dark. Curious, I checked the table clock and realized it was already 5pm, and I hadn’t even had breakfast, not like I felt it.
With a sigh, I rounded up and put off my laptop. I walked out of my office and met my assistant in his office, also busy. ”I’m done for today.” I announced and teleported away.
Within the split of a few seconds, I appeared in the sitting room and met aunt Cara having a conversation with uncle Stephen, whom I had forgotten was around.
”Greetings uncle.” I greeted him and sat on the single-seater couch. ”You look worn out and tired.” Uncle Stephen said while moving his gaze to me. ”I’ll go check the dinner.” Aunt Cara said and quickly stood to her feet and left.
”She is obviously not happy with me.” I grumbled and didn’t get a response from my uncle.
”I heard you stayed all day in the office.” He said while I hummed with a sigh, ”Did it help?” He asked, ”What?” I asked confused, ”Whenever I’m going through a lot, I usually occupy myself with work to clear my head.” He explained while I nodded my head and shut my eyes. I inhaled deeply and couldn’t perceive that alluring scents of fresh honey mixed with nutmeg. ”Where is Mia?” I asked, worried.
”She left a few minutes ago.” Uncle Stephen responded. I wanted to ask where she went, but I knew it would be stupid of me to ask such. ”She told Cara that she was attending some party.” He announced like he was reading through my thoughts.
I didn’t say a word, rather I stood to my feet and said, ”Inform aunt Cara that I’m not hungry.” I spoke and made my way to the stairs. ”I will be leaving first thing tomorrow, will you teleport me back?” He asked, while I nodded my head and walked away.
I got to my room and collapsed on the bed. My life was making a drastic turn right before me, and I couldn’t do anything about it. ”Maybe I should let go of her.” I lied to myself because I knew I couldn’t. ”Are you giving up without even trying?” My wolf asked while I groaned and shut my eyes.
I forced myself into a deep sleep, so I could escape from my worries, but the loud whimpering of my wolf woke me up. ”Mine!” He spoke possessively, forcing me up to my feet.
