The Darling Of The Alpha
Chapter 18

Xander Cohen

—Inés is my Tua cantate,” Dereck whispers to which I gasp, shit, shit, it can’t be. Although Dereck is not a bad man, but Inés? He couldn’t be anyone else. “Speak up, Xander, you’re getting on my nerves,” he asks, looking at me seriously.

“Inés doesn’t know anything about the supernatural world… I’m just asking you to be good to her or I’ll leave you without balls,” I point out seriously to which he nods.

They are both clear that I am overprotective of my secretary, since she is so innocent and I don’t want anyone to take advantage of that.

“Well, everything is clear,” Felicia announces, drawing our attention. —Dereck and I already know what your company is going through, that’s why we offer our help to solve this problem once and for all, —she adds to which I nod gratefully.

They are old vampires and they know more about all this.

“What do you have in mind?” I ask, taking a seat in one of the twelve chairs at the long glass table in the meeting room.

—Well…

(…)

After an hour discussing the plan to capture those involved in my company’s deficit, I left to go to another meeting at an Italian restaurant with the investors of the hospital that is being remodeled. and that it will be ready in one two months.

When the meeting was over I went straight to a jewelry store where I bought my moon a beautiful gold necklace with an inverted half-moon pendant that has a star in the center.

The crescent and star are encrusted with diamonds, which makes it look more elegant and perfect for little me. I also decided to buy him a giant black teddy bear.

“You had to buy a wolf,” Bruno reproaches for the link while I walk through the mall square looking at what else I can buy for my moon, I’m not one of those who always go out shopping but I know that my Camila He is angry with me and I don’t understand the reason for his anger.

—She already has one of her so I can bring her another—is what I can think of to answer.

“True,” he murmurs, closing our link and ending our little conversation.

Tired of women looking at me as if I were a piece of meat, I leave the shopping center to go straight to the Jeep where Carlos is already with the door open waiting for me.

I go in and place the bear next to me, I put the necklace in my jacket pocket, Carlo gets into the car and sets off towards the herd.

“Is Camila already home?” I asked, looking out the window. “How did my little moon fare on her first day of school?” I think as the buildings disappear with each passing minute.

“Yes, Alpha, the moon arrived safely… according to the teacher, everything was kind to her and that Camila is a very intelligent girl,” he details and for the first time he decides not to be so formal, it doesn’t Don’t bother me that he says the little girl’s name. .

-Yo lo se.

(…)

When Carlos parks in front of the house I get out of the Jeep taking the bear. I enter the mansion, I go up the stairs following my little girl’s smell which takes me directly to her room.

I knock on the door and hear her tender voice:

—Come in.

I walk in and look at her, she is sitting on the floor surrounded by her dolls, with one of them on her legs that she is combing.She raises her face and looks at me and then glances at the giant bear and goes back to her business.

“He ignored us,” Bruno speaks, releasing small m***s of pain and causing my heart to ache for the rejection of my moon, not a smile, not a hug, nothing… just indifference towards me.

I sigh and approach slowly, sitting on her bed to look at her. I don’t know what to do, I’m not used to dealing with children, the only one I dealt with was Mimy and it was because she is my sister otherwise she would never have the experience of taking care of children.

“Little girl,” I call her but she continues doing her thing without looking at me. “Come, I brought these gifts for you,” I add, taking out the necklace from my jacket. Camila looks at me seriously and what she says makes her feel like something inside breaks me.

-I don’t want them.

(…)

I’m in my office reviewing some invitation papers for birthday parties, dances, new moon presentations, etc. This is the only way I can forget for a moment the rejection of my moon.

I can’t believe that at only six years old my moon does this to me, rejecting me and not wanting to be close to me. It’s something I wouldn’t wish on even my worst enemy. I sigh because I do n’t know the reason for her rejection of her. It couldn’t have been because I slept with Angélica, since Camila is too young to know that kind of thing. I will have to talk to my mother to tell me what the probability is that my little girl knows what happened.

I sigh again and leave the papers organized, I look at the time and it is one in the morning, I leave the office and walk straight to my room where I undress, go into the bathroom and take a shower.

Being already showered and in my bed with my pajamas on, I look out my window as the sky slowly clouds over and after five minutes thunderous thunder begins to be heard and lightning illuminates my dark room.

All the lights go out when lightning strikes. I bring my hand to my chest when I feel discomfort and Bruno moves restlessly.

—What’s wrong, Bruno? —I question because my head is about to hurt with his disturbing movements.

“Something is wrong with our moon, go with her,” she asks, closing the link, I immediately jump out of the bed and with quick steps I go to my Camila’s room, I sharpen my senses, I hear her sobs which can be heard from the bathroom, I entered and caught a glimpse of her in the tub next to the bear I brought her a few hours ago.

Her face is hidden in the bear’s neck of her causing my heart to shrink and make me feel happy because I accept my gift from her.

“Little one,” I whisper and she pulls her face out of the neck of the stuffed animal, bathed in tears. Her eyes are red, as are her cheek and her nose. I approach the tub. “Come, princess,” I murmur, opening my arms and she quickly gets out of the tub. to snuggle into my chest.

Camila hides her face in my neck and I can feel her cold body, Bruno growls because we were able to prevent our moon from going through this calamity.

»Shh… I’m here little one, I caress her back while I snuggle her more in my arms, I sit on the cold bathroom floor hoping that the heat of my body can remove the coldness that covers her.

After a few minutes her sobs calm down but her body trembles as she hears some lightning strikes, I get up from the floor so I can go to my room.

“Don’t leave Tedy,” he asks in a raspy voice, I hope he doesn’t get sick.

“Teddy?” I ask confused, Camila pulls her face out of my neck and looks at the bear I gave her to which I nod and took the stuffed animal from her while holding my moon with one arm.

I go into my room, then into bed with my moon and her bear who is now called Tedy, Camila snuggles into my quilts while she hugs the bear, which I glare at, I lie down on my back.

» Do you know, I’m warmer than Tedy? —I question looking at her, she looks at me and then at the bear.

When another lightning bolt is heard, she lets go of the stuffed animal and snuggles into my chest, filling me with joy. I hug her and cover us with the quilts and then caress her hair. Within minutes she falls exhausted and in a short time I let myself be carried by Morpheus’s arms to rest happy to have my little girl in my arms.
