Samantha’s POV
“What do you think of James?” Cassie asked me, while the both of us were folding our clothes into our bags after just washing them.
“James… I think he is a nice guy, you are so interested in him.” I said, nudging her shoulder slightly.
“He is such a good guy and what more? I think he likes me too.” Cassie replied.
“But what if James finds his mate and leaves Cassie? Won’t she be heartbroken?” Cara asked me and I found out that was a vital point.
“And it is so good that he is a human, he would not get some mate that he would be tied to,” Cassie added and I paused.
“Did James lie to Cassie that he is human?” I asked Cara.
“That is definitely what is going on,” Cara replied to me.
“Do you think I should tell Cassie that James is lying to her? Should I tell her that he is a wolf-like me too?” I asked Cara.
“No, you need to at least hear from James first” Cara replied and I reasoned with her.
“That’s good, he told you he is human, right?” I asked Cassie.
“Of course, I asked him cause I wanted to make sure I would not be falling for someone who belongs to another,” she replied with a wide smile on her face.
“What are you both talking about?” James asked, popping up in front of both of us.
“Girls talk, what do you want to know?” I frowned playfully at him.
“Keeping secrets from me, I see.” he teased and poked Cassie’s forehead playfully.
“Uh… James, can we talk?” I asked him and he pouted.
“Of course, go on, I am listening,” he replied.
“No, not with Cassie here. In private.” I added and Cassie’s eyes darted towards me.
I moved closer to her and whispered into her ears.
“Just a little talk to know what he has for you,” I said to her and drew back.
“C’mon, James, let’s talk,” I said and held his hands, pulling him towards another place entirely.
We were still on our way when we met with Alpha Kayden.
“Welcome back Alpha.” the both of us chorused with a slight bow.
“Where are you both off to?” He asked, his voice laced with a considerable amount of venom, his gaze was on our linked hands.
“Is Alpha Getting jealous?!” I shrieked to Cara.
“That must be it! Must be the reason he separated you from James this morning also.” Cara replied.
“We are just going to have a small talk Alpha” I replied him as humbly as I could.
“You both are jobless to that extent now?” He asked and I wondered how he was now speaking so many words at a time.
“We are sorry Alpha.” I and James apologized.
“I would guess it’s your free period, you have nothing doing, right?” He asked.
“That is right, Alpha Kayden.” I replied him.
“Mantha,” he called and my heart skipped several beats, he just called me that special name once more
I loved it whenever he calls me Mantha, it makes me feel super special to him.
“You are now busy, I have work for you. You can’t laze around doing absolutely anything. Follow me.” he ordered and began to walk away.
“I would come to see you soon,” I mumbled to James.
“Just say you don’t want to see me with other guys, why use work as an excuse?” I mumbled, smiling.
I had no idea that Alpha Kayden had stopped and he was now staring at me.
“James is so funny that few days with him is making you smile this much?” He asked.
“A… Alpha Kayden… James is fun to be with but…”
“Fine! You have a whole lot of time to play and have fun, you keep on lazing around. Next time, I find you lazing around and spending time playing all over, I will be docking your pay.” he threatened and I held back smiles.
“Go and get my room cleaned up,” he ordered.
“I already did that sir” I replied.
“The other rooms?”
“They have all been cleaned up sir,” I responded.
“Go and make me a meal,” he ordered.
“B… But your meal has been made already sir.” I replied him.
“Are you trying to refuse my orders?” He asked and I shook my head repeatedly.
“No Alpha Kayden but the thing is… I don’t really know how to cook.” I mumbled.
“Go and make a meal,” he said authoritatively and walked away.
“I have to suffer cause you’re jealous.” I scoffed with a smile playing at the curves of my lips.
“Now, there’s a problem in front of us. How do I cook?” I asked Cara.
“Ask Cassie for help,” she replied.
“Cook the meal yourself, no one is allowed to help you,” Alpha Kayden said suddenly like he had heard what Cara said to me.
“Y… Yes sir.” I said to him, grumbled and walked away from his presence before he would give out another absurd restriction.
I walked to the kitchen and stared at the utensils and the foodstuffs present in the kitchen.
Dinner had already been prepared so the kitchen was deserted. I was the only one present there.
I really cannot cook!
But then he wants me to cook for him even though I told him I do not have the skills yet that means he is also ready to eat whatever I prepare, right?
I set to work, preparing a meal of pot roast. I just hoped that it would turn out even at least a bit well.
I was trying to make him accept me, I can’t cook something that would make him push me away yet again.
After spending over an hour in the kitchen I had come up with a bowl of pot roast. I sighed and pressed my lips into a thin line. I was scared to taste the meal. I was scared of what the result would be so I decided to take it to Alpha Kayden directly.
I carried the bowl of food and placed it in a tray before taking it to Alpha Kayden’s room. I knocked on his door a couple of times before he gave his usual response.
I opened the door and froze for a sec. Alpha Kayden was torturing me, he was standing in just a white towel, his well-chiselled abs were in sight, it was evident that he had just taken a bath, his hair was dripping water and his exposed body was wet too.
I gulped down nothing and shook my head to get out of the trance that I seemed to be in.
“Alpha Kayden… Here goes your meal.” I managed to say, dropping the tray of food on the table beside him.
“I… I would take my leave now.” I stuttered.
“You wait and let me have a taste of what you cooked,” he ordered me and took the spoon.
He stared at the meal for a moment before having a bite. I watched him squeeze his face into a deep frown and my face fell.
I had cooked rubbish for Alpha Kayden.
“Just so so. You will be the one cooking dinner for me from now on” he said and my face lit up immediately!
He loves my meal!
