Chapter 3

He couldn't hold back as he had a feeling the night before that there was something special for him. He could scent the delicious fragrance of a woman and he had to follow it but that was because he had already gotten to the field while being so adventurous.

He didn't know who to tell all he had in his mind but one thing was for sure, though she tasted good, she wasn't his class

"What's the great Alpha Ethan doing, sitting on his chair and looking lost?" Bella asked as she walked into his office.

She had this short blue gown worn, it had a turtle neck with short sleeves. Her pink eyes glistened as she looked at him.  She could tell he was worried as she looked at him. She felt like she cared about him the most. She was the only cousin who chose to live in the same house with him but that was because she was the only one who could look him straight in the eyes and talk to him without feeling scared.

Alpha Ethan looked up at her and couldn't help but smile. "I am fine. You should be in your room."

"I wasn't born to be stuck in my room. By the way, it's morning. I can do whatever I want but I guess I am bored." she replied to him.

Not wanting to be the one to entertain her, he stood up and left the room leaving her in confusion.

Selene had to walk out of her house later that day to a nearby apartment to visit Dada who was her male best friend. He seemed to have been looking for her for a while. She got to his doorstep and opened the door as always but then she didn't see anyone inside. Surprise, she checked various parts of the house but still couldn't find him. Giving up, she then decided to make her way out of the house but then she saw someone jump out of the curtains and couldn't help but freak out.

"Dada why?!" she asked, exclaiming at the same time.

"Just wanted to make you laugh."

"that was dumb," she replied.

"Sorry! But you don't seem okay. Did something happen to you?" he asked her as he seemed to notice some changes in her.

"nothing. What did you find?" she asked him.

"you have changed."

"Dada stop!" she said and then sat down on his couch.

"You now look more beautiful. More beautiful than someone who mated with her mate in the last full moon," he said to her and she froze.

Was there a special kind of beauty that comes with that? She thought as she looked at him.

"Did you let any man touch you?" he asked her.

"I don't think I want to answer that. That's such a private question," she said to him feeling a bit off by his speech.

"Tell me it's not what I am thinking," Dada said to her as he rubbed his blonde hair, feeling some a man who had been betrayed by his lover.

"You are kidding Dada! I think I should find my way out of here because you definitely want to piss me off," she said as she stood up and tried to walk away but he grabbed her hands and pulled her to his chest, holding her face with both of his palms as he tried to get closer to her lips.

"What has come over you?" she asked as she pulled him away from her.

Dada felt the tension within him. This was a woman he loved but had been silent about it because he didn't want to lose the friendship they shared but now it seems as though a braver man had come in between them. He didn't need anyone to tell him as he could already sense that foreign scent in her.

"what the hell are you thinking about and looking at me like that?" she asked, feeling completely pissed.

"I sense another man. Who did you let touch you?" Dada asked furiously.

"Excuse you? What right do you think you have to question me that way?" she refuted him and he grabbed her closer to him. Pissed, she pushed him away from her.

"I had a one-night stand the night before. It was magical and up till now, I still can't let go of the moment I shared with this stranger. I have no idea who he is. Now I feel very lonely. I'm telling you because you are my friend. The only make friendship I have and value but please respect me next time." she said to him and tried to make her way out of his house but then he shut the door as he looked at her like someone who was brokenhearted.

"Why will you do that? Why Selene?"

"Because it's my body."

"Why didn't you call me if you really wanted it?"

"I would never want you. You've got to figure your shit out because what the heck is going on here," she asked him, obviously confused.

It turned out he had always loved her secretly and wanted something with her. She couldn't get to see it and ended up having a thing with another man and it hurt him badly.

Without wasting any more time, he discharged her and planned to erase her from his mind forever. He had to go look for someone else because it was clear he would never have Selene. He didn't want her as just a friend either. It's either they were an item or nothing. He was done pretending to be just friends with her to please her.

Selene got back into her apartment and couldn't help but think about the incident at Dada's apartment as she started to get worried but soon, the thought started washing off the moment she thought about Ethan.

Worry sipped in at that instant and she started having the urge to see him but how was she going to get it done?
