Chapter 23
I froze, and my heart was racing so fast.
“Alpha Xaden, good morning.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?!” He barked at me.
His handsome face was rageful, and I could see his onyx eyes glowing.
I swallowed hard.
“I was just trying to cook,” I said genuinely, even though I was scared to death.
“Cool?!” He said he was confused.
And then he looked behind me and saw the meal I had made.
It was like he hadn’t even noticed that.
His anger cooled to a tempo; then it went back to us.
“You’re trying to kill me and my men?” He asked me. “Are you trying to kill me and my men?!”
“No,” I answered truthfully. “I just heard the men complaining about food last night. So I came out to cook.”
He didn’t believe a word of what I had just said.
His entire facial expression said it.
“A spoilt brat cooking?” He asked me. “I don’t believe a word of what you’re saying!”
Then he kicked one of the two cans of gravy, which toppled over and spilled its contents.
All my hard work is gone.
“No, please,” I begged him as I tried to grab the can.
But he hauled me back.
His hand was firmly held at the neck of my dress and kept at ransom. “Tell me the truth, or I will take you here before my men!”
I looked at him in utter shock and horror.
No, he wouldn’t do that. He was trying to scare me.
I felt my heart begin to pound and sweat grow on my brows.
“And I think you vividly remember what I did to you the last time.” He said to me,
I just stared at him in horror and fear.
“Now tell me the truth, or I will fuck you in the view of my men!” He spat out.
The tears in my eyes began gathering, and my entire body shook.
I had been such a fool. It was such a fool to think that they would think I was ever helping them.
“It’s the truth.” I stuttered, the tears almost flowing down my eyes.
His eyes glowed in anger; his entire demeanour terrified me, and then he pushed me against the tree in the middle of the camp where all his men were and positioned himself against me.
