Falling in love with my Ex's Alpha Chapter 203: Book 2 - Chapter 36

***The Traveler***

I wonder if anyone who knows my fated mate is really used to seeing a genuine smile on her beautiful face. I hardly see her smiling except when I provoke her to smile. She always has a serious face; she couldn’t be more authoritarian even if she tried to.

As soon as we entered our room, next to Letum and Dana’s room, she immediately went to the bathroom with her backpack still on her back. She closed the door with such force that I’m sure Mrs. Elide heard it at reception.

She’s still upset that I made her sleep in a real bed before we return to our territory.

However, she didn’t know that besides that, I had another reason for having insisted so much on waiting to travel the next day.

Earlier, I made a deal with a guy downtown and bought a truck.

Call me spoiled, but fuck, I can’t stand having to walk all the time to get from one place to another. Particularly since Alexa can’t shift.

I’m pretty sure she’s going to freak out on me when she finds out, so I’m going to leave that problem for my - tomorrow - self to solve.

I hear the sound of water in the bathroom, and I know she is taking a bath. I place my backpack near the door.

The motel room is very plain; it has a bed that fits just the two of us, and it’s covered with a white blanket with purple flowers.

There is a small table and two chairs next to the wall; I sit on one of the chairs while observing the space around me.

Although everything is simple and modest, I can see that the room was well cleaned.

After a few moments, I smell Letum before he knocks on the door.

I get up and open the door just as Alexa comes out of the bathroom, dressed in the robe I gave her. The smell of her soap invades the room, inviting me to get close to her.

The burgundy robe almost touches her bare feet, and the voluminous fabric near her neck gives her an air of royalty. *She is my Princess*.

With arms crossed, she ignores me after placing her backpack on the floor and looking at Letum, “It better be food!”

Letum enters the room and places the plate with four sandwiches on the table. “It was courtesy of Mrs. Elide for *sweet Nox*,” he says with an almost grin.

“Shut up,” I say, smiling at him as Alexa snorts.

“Take some for you and Dana,” I say after closing the door.

“I already take it,” he says with a genuine grin in my direction as he walks to the bedroom door.

Alexa turns around, takes off her robe with her back to me, and puts it on the bed, revealing the pair of pajamas I gave her as a gift. The bottom is so short that I can see the curve of her ass below the hemline. My cock is immediately begging for me to rip it apart.

She walks to the bathroom again, still clearly angry with me and avoiding my eyes.

But when she strides away, as she sways her hips, her tiny pajama shorts ride up, allowing me to see a bit more of her perky butt before she closes the bathroom door.

Oh, my Princess, I’ll definitely leave my handprint on your ass later.

“Um, not to interrupt your little pervy moment there, but have you forgotten that I’m here?” Letum asks dryly.

I spin towards him with a scowl.

I’m not a jealous guy, much less possessive, except when it comes to my girl.

Letum holds his hands up next to the door. “Hey, it’s not my fault that you forgot about me.”

“You were leaving! Did you stare at her ass?” I snarl at him.

“W-what? No, of course not!” Letum says.

“But you saw me staring at her ass. Therefore, you must have been looking at it.” I say as I try to calm Khai in my mind so he doesn’t shift and attack Letum.

“No way, man. I was looking at you.” He holds the door handle, more than ready to leave the room.

“Just make sure that you are only ever looking at me and not at her,” I warn him. I don’t need to use my Alpha aura with him because just the commanding tone of my voice alone is enough for him to understand.

Letum’s eyes widen. “Okay. Uh, Nox?”

“Yeah?” I say, now sounding more like I usually speak.

Fuck! When it comes to Alexa, I lose my mind, even though I know very well that Letum and Dana consider my fated mate just like a sister.

“Thank you for bringing us here,” he says almost in a whisper as he opens the door to leave the room.

I feel like shit for threatening him like that after this. “Take care of Dana,” I answer; somehow, I try to hold my small grin.

I could swear I saw him blush as he gave me a short nod before quickly leaving the room.

After my girl left the bathroom, we ate the sandwiches together, even though she still avoided talking to me, and then it was my turn to take a shower in the tiny bathroom.

Not long later, I return to the room dressed only in underwear — and yes, call me spoiled, but I did have to buy some underwear for myself because I refuse to wear anyone else’s underwear.

When I see her lying on her side facing the wall, I just think that she’s fucking with my head whether she means to or not.

She is so gorgeous, the pajama set hugs her body perfectly.

I confess that I’ve had sex with the girls in my kingdom more times than I’d like to admit, but none of them have ever left me as breathless just looking at her as Alexa does.

She’s not just goddamn another woman. She’s my fated mate and so fucking sweet only with me that it kills me.

She’s still angry with me because I didn’t react the way she wanted to the whole travel situation. I can’t say I blame her because I know she’s used to taking care of herself alone.

If I were in her shoes, maybe I would have reacted far worse than Alexa if someone had tried to command me. I understand why she’s so goddamn conflicted.

But I can’t take her tantrum anymore, so I lie down on the bed and immediately pull her close to me, hugging her from behind.

She doesn’t say anything. I think she can sense that I’m tired of being away from her. “Are you using the gift I gave you to tease me, Princess?” I say as I tighten my arms around her, making her feel my hard cock behind her.

I kiss her neck, smelling her scent that drives me crazy.

“Let’s go to sleep, Nox,” she says, even though I smell her arousal.

However, I know she is exhausted because that was the main reason we fought. I mentally talk to my hard cock so he can read the room.

Not long after, she falls asleep in my arms while I stroke her hair, and then I fall asleep, too.

🐺 🐺 🐺

I wander vaguely throughout the place without knowing where I am.

After walking tirelessly, I recognized the place. I am close to the three sacred trees. However, they are not like the last time I saw them. They are like they will be in the future.

I look around again, trying to understand what is happening. The full moon in the sky is the only light around me until she appears to me again.

Precisely in front of the sacred tree with sacred fruits stands Goddess Selena with the souls of her wolves around her.

My body kneels before I even realize it because everything around us stops just to bow to her with me.

I’m dreaming because unless I’m back to the future, this can’t be real.

I wonder this even though the Goddess in front of me is as accurate as the last time I had the honor of seeing her.

Maybe she’s here to scold me for taking the diamonds from the mine. Could that change the future?

“Moon Goddess!” I say in worship as I bow my head, kneeling.

When I hear her voice, I lift my head slightly to look at her immensely dazzling glow, as it seems to draw me closer to her as much as the souls of the wolves around her are being drawn.

I feel at peace, safe, and content in the presence of the Moon Goddess.

“Nox, you have treaded the correct path.”

I feel warmer just hearing her voice. Then, I ask something that I have been thinking about since the last time I saw her.

I promised myself that the next time I saw her, I would ask something more important because not only are her visits short, but she hardly answers me, so I need to choose my questions carefully.

“Goddess Selena, will I be able to stay in this era after I fulfill my purpose?”

*Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes.*

She doesn’t respond right away, and then I lift my face to look at her once more, and she says something that makes me so scared that it feels like I’m dying.

I wake up terrified and sweaty, sitting up abruptly.

“You scared me! I had to wake you up, Prince,” my mate says from my side. I feel her distress at seeing me panting. “Did you have a nightmare?” she asks me, caressing my hair.

I just nod with my head down without looking at her. My hair covers my face as I breathe heavily like I’ve run a marathon.

I have no words to describe to her that my nightmare will soon come true.

Even though Moon Goddess’s motherly voice was so serene, it wasn’t able to lessen my terror when she said I will go back to the future soon. And alone.

Without Alexa.
