Falling in love with my Ex's Alpha Chapter 73

"What? No! Are you crazy?" I shout, and he's amused by my outburst.

"There's no point denying it. It's written all over your face," he says in an arrogant and convinced voice. It doesn't even look like he has a deep cut on his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll mark you soon."

Why does he have to say these things in front of everyone?

He might just want to kill me with shame.

He lets go of my face but continues to look at me when he says with a dismissed tone, "take them to the packhouse dungeons, I'll see them later."

One by one, they begin to empty the room, and Jason follows them.

Urgh, Kaiden should have guessed my embarrassment after they left, not before.

"How was that dream, my little sun?" he asks and puts his hand on my hip while I start cleaning and applying the antidote to his wound.

I remember very well that big hand on my hip...

"I didn't have any wet dreams about you," I lie, at this point more than Pinocchio.

"Deny it all you want, but remember that I can smell your arousal," he says in a sensual voice close to my ear, and I shiver. The bastard simply widens his smile even more.

"Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself," I say as I finish applying the antidote.

My face is burning, I'm sure I'm so red.

Before turning to throw the bottle in the trash, he pulls me closer to him by the hip and kisses my neck. I wanted to be stronger and show that I'm immune to him, but my body betrays me, and my neck tilts to the side, opening the way for his kisses.

I feel his smile on my neck in satisfaction with my body's involuntary response.

"Kaiden, the directors are waiting for you," I hear Chad's voice, and I turn my face and see that he is at the door with an angry face.

Kaiden embraces me even tighter, and I feel his body against mine. Immediately, the memories of the wet dream come back, and I clear my throat to ignore it while I try to let go of Kaiden.

Reluctantly, he lets me go. "I'm going to take you home today," Kaiden says before leaving, and I smile as I nod, trying to control the excitement of a thousand butterflies in my stomach. "Let's make your dream come true," he shouts from the door.

Ugh. Why does he have to be like this?

***Kaiden***

"What the fuck is the problem now?" I try to control my anger while trying to solve more problems. I feel like I'm surrounded by idiots.

It seems like nothing gets resolved if I don't have to interfere.

"The Royal Council was reviewing the remaining candidates in the tournament, and some of them think you should be disqualified because Katie is human," Chad states as Jason enters the room and closes the door.

The three of us are still in the hospital because, although the room is not soundproof, according to Chad, the situation is urgent.

"And couldn't you wait until we get to the packhouse?" Fuck, just when I was close to my mate after having spent so much time away from her.

"Well, I think it's serious enough for us to fix this soon," Chad blushes as he chokes on his words.

"I don't think there's any way to resolve this. First, we need to see what the Royal Council's decision will be," Jason says, crossing his arms, "I don't think they would disqualify you for that because there is a member of the council whose mate is a human."

"And you think one person is enough to solve this shit if it's through a vote?" Chad cuts Jason off.

I hear someone walk by in the hallway, and immediately, I raise my hand to silence them both, and then I hear someone knock on the door.

"Alpha, the directors are waiting for you," Dean, one of my warriors, says and then leaves immediately after I respond okay.

"Let's wait for them, and in the meantime, Jason keeps an eye on what they are planning for the next phase, and Chad starts looking for a solution to this problem, search the books to see if there have been any other similar case in history before," I command them, and then I open the door.

They both nod in silence, and we go to the directors.

As if the pile of shit that I have to deal with on a daily basis wasn't enough, I still have to deal with one more possible problem.

The door is already open, waiting for us, and after the three of us enter, Jason closes the door.

"Alpha, I'm glad you're here. I need to talk to you," Dr Smith says as he stops writing whatever he is writing and gets up from his chair.

"Be quick, I'm very busy today," I reply coldly, hoping it won't be another problem at the hospital.

"Well, it's not really a problem. In fact, I would like to invite you to the semester closing ceremony," he says with a smile on his face.

"I don't participate in that kind of thing," I state and start heading towards the door to leave.

"It's the end of Katie's semester," Jason says, and I immediately turn to them. Now they have my attention.

Jason smiles broadly, Chad continues with a frown, and Dr. Smith says, "It won't take long. The ceremony is usually brief as it's not the graduation."

"Okay, I'll go," I give a curt nod, "give Chad the information about the schedule," I tell, and this time I open the door to leave.

"Chad already has the information," he says while I'm already in the hallway, and I control myself not to turn around and strangle Chad for not warning me that today would be an important day for Katie.

I look in the corner of my eye and see Jason shaking his head and looking at Chad as they try to keep up with me.

As soon as I leave the hospital, I shift and go straight to the packhouse.

I'll save my fury to take it out on the rogue prisoners.

🐺 🐺 🐺

"You have one more try. I want to hear something useful, or this will be your last try," I say coldly with a death glare at one of the rogues we captured in the last attack on one of my neighboring packs.

His face of pain is evident, well, that's what you expect after taking so many stabs to your body, "I've already told you everything I know, please, I can't take it anymore," he cries in pain as I turn the knife that It's on his shoulder, in the same place he stabbed me in my shoulder.

"Okay, okay, the attack was just to destabilize the border," he confesses.

"Who?" I ask, holding myself back from removing the knife from his shoulder and slitting his throat. The stab he gave me hurt like hell.

"I don't know. I was ordered to attack your territory and get out as quickly as possible before being captured. I don't know who paid us, and the person who managed the attack was killed during the attack," he says between his teeth, holding on so as not to scream in pain.

This type of senseless attack is already becoming a joke. However, I believe he is telling the truth.

In one quick movement, I remove the knife from his shoulder and slit his throat, exactly as I wanted. My satisfaction is instantaneous.

"That doesn't make sense," Jason says from behind me. I stand up and throw the knife along with the others on the table.

I sit in one of the chairs, and Chad says, "Maybe someone is doing this to weaken the pack. We can't forget that we have one of the biggest packs in the tournament."

I had thought the same thing, so I just nod.

"But who would have sent this? Duncan?" Jason asks.

"I know he's going to try everything to eliminate me from the tournament. He might have put ideas in the Royal Council's head about Katie being human... that fucker!" I say while looking at my cell phone. It's almost time for the ceremony.

"No need to say anything else, it's almost time for the ceremony," Jason says teasingly, "I'm going to get Jake to take him there, he always participates in all of Katie's ceremonies," he says proudly. How does he not find this strange?

"I'll hitch a ride with you guys then," Chad says as the three of us leave the basement.

"When the ceremony is over, I'll come back here, and I'll continue the interrogation," Chad says without looking me in the eye.

I don't say anything, I just nod my head.

At least I'll have more time with Katie. I want to know every detail of her dream.

Who knew that behind that angelic face, she would be dreaming of me marking her?

I was right all along. I'm her dream come true.
