The Darling Of The Alpha
Chapter 25

Camila Albora

—And finally the cafeteria, —I say to Felipe and Clara as we enter the aforementioned area. I look at them expecting some question but nothing, the girl looks at me with boredom and boy with her neutral face.

“Maybe vampires don’t smile,” I think.

“Thanks for the journey, moon,” Felipe murmurs and smiled at her.

—Aren’t you too young to be a moon? —Clara asks me—And which alpha are you a moon?—She asks, looking at me with interest from top to bottom.

“I am the royal moon of the alpha king

The two quickly bow.

“Oh… forgive our rude way of treating you, Princess Camila,” Felipe asks.

—There are no problems guys… everything is in the past. I understand that they are defensive in a new environment,” he commented, giving her a smile until the bell rings announcing break time. “If you want, you can join me at my table,” I propose and they nod to follow me.

I get out of the car after Carlo opens the door for me, I whisper a thank you and he follows me until I’m inside Xander’s company. According to him, he wasn’t going to work this week but he has to take care of some very important things so I decided to come see him.

I look at the receptionist who smiles at me, I respond the same since she had not come to the company for several months. Since Inés left she had not returned here.

I enter the elevator and mark the top floor, sighing. Although I don’t show it, it hurts me a lot that Xander has to leave, but as he told me, we should take advantage of this little time we have to be together. The sound of the door opening brings me out of my thoughts and I leave the metal drawer to find Xander’s new secretary, I calmly approach the desk to see her cleaning her nails, I wrinkle my nose as I feel the excess of perfume on her.

“Good afternoon,” I greet, trying not to breathe in her perfume, since my senses are very developed, therefore strong aromas bother me. She is looking at me haughtily and the excess of makeup that covers her features does not go unnoticed. “I’m looking for Xander,” I add, looking her straight in the eyes, she frowns at me.

—And you are? —He questions, looking at me with his eyebrows raised, I roll my eyes.

I had to be human, if I were a werewolf he would let me pass without asking so much because my scent is on Xander and his scent surrounds mine, since the alpha is busy releasing it all the time when he is by my side.

“His…cousin,” I murmur, remembering that Xander told me that I can’t tell a human that I’m his mate, moon, and future wife.

“Just a second,” she asks, taking the phone. “Mr. Cohen, his cousin is looking for you…” I don’t like the way he talks to you at all.

“Camila,” I tell her my name as she looks at me questioningly.

“His cousin, Camila, sir,” he says and I can hear clearly what the alpha is saying and I also know that he has known of my presence since the elevator doors opened, and he hangs up the phone. “It can happen,” he points to the place.

“Thank you,” I can’t be rude.

I walk into the office and Xander is in his chair with reading glasses on. He looks so sexy and it is one of the things I have always admired about him as well as his knowledge of various topics of his.

“I know I’m beautiful,” he announces looking at the papers in his hand, I roll my eyes and lock the door to go sit in the chair in front of him.

“Inés is needed in this company,” I say, taking a chocolate out of my backpack, which I leave on the floor next to my chair. I also pass one to Xander and he smiles at me.

“You don’t change,” he mutters, looking into my eyes for a few seconds before returning his gaze to the papers. Since Xander started bringing me to the company he always brought with me some chocolates, cookies and a coloring book, the latter I stopped bringing when I was nine years old.

“I’m bored being here… plus you told me you’d take me to the amusement park,” I remind him to take a bite of chocolate.

“Sorry, princess, but I have to leave everything in order,” he murmurs, releasing a sigh.

“I understand,” she murmured with a small smile. “I still can’t get the idea that you’ll be gone for so long,” I let out a sigh as I look at him sadly.

“You know that if the decision was in my hands, I wouldn’t go anywhere,” he reminds me and I nod. —But this is important for the company and I also have to go sign some treaties with small packs that have emerged in recent years—He adds.

“I’m glad to know that new werewolves have appeared,” he murmured.

Since my kind destroyed a few herds, the exact number of men, children and women who were able to escape this massacre was not known. Many escaped and did not want to return to a pack for fear that the same thing would happen, but now they are returning because security is better and because werewolves and vampires, like other species, have joined forces against the hunters.

“I still feel happy that they are back home,” he says to continue with his work while I eat my chocolate and help him with anything he requests.

(…)

Today is the day I never expected to come, Xander has to leave. He left my face on his chest as we walked to the airport, I sigh feeling the warmth of him, I inhale his scent and enjoy the caresses he leaves in my hair. I’m going to miss him a lot and I just hope that time passes quickly.

“My beautiful moon,” I hear him say in a sigh, I know he is capturing my scent to keep it in his memory, the one that makes me his mate and that he likes both him and Bruno. The latter lets out a few purrs, Xander’s chest vibrating every time he does that. “I will miss your smell, my little Camila,” he tells me, putting his hand on my neck. —Your laughs, tantrums and those beautiful pouts you make when you want something, my spoiled love. —He adds melancholy.

“I’m going to miss you too, mutt,” I let out to hear him growl, I laugh. “My grumpy wolf,” I whisper, listening to his heartbeat quicken.

“Alpha, we’re here,” Carlos announces, opening the door, we get out of the car and I watch as Xander’s private plane waits for it along with its pilots and stewards. We look at each other transmitting everything we feel at this moment: love and sadness is what passes through our eyes and I try not to cry.

“I’ll be waiting for you, little wolf,” I mutter and his eyes turn a carmine red.

This happens very rarely with Xander and from what he told me, it happens when he and Bruno share their human form at the same time, connecting to be present without needing to become a wolf.

“And we will return to you moon,” he announces with his hoarsest and firmest voice, showing his status among all the werewolves in the world. All the people present have their heads bowed and their necks inclined, showing submission and respect before their alpha king. Xander carefully takes my face and lowers his to mine. His lips take mine in a demanding k**s, I try to keep up with him, his tongue enters my oral cavity until he enters an erotic dance with me, of power and above all of love. When he is separating from me he bites my l*p and then leaves a chaste k**s full of many promises. —We love you, my, ours.
