Chapter 47
Alpha Jayden's silence made the trust I had in him suddenly disappear.
“I don't want to ask for anything else,” I said softly. “I'm sorry,” I continued, feeling a little embarrassed because I realized that I shouldn't be greedy when Jayden had done everything for me, but I was still not satisfied and wanted more.
“What do you mean, Erica? You have the right to ask for anything you want, so you don't need to feel guilty like that and don't be too quick to judge. How can you know I would refuse your request when you haven't even told me what you want from me?” Jayden said quickly, making me look up at him because I had been looking down, my confidence suddenly disappearing without me being able to prevent it.
“Really?” I asked with a little enthusiasm, even though I knew I shouldn't be so selfish, but for some reason, when I was with Jayden, I slowly began to become the person I had lost for so long.
"Of course, Erica, but remember, I haven't agreed yet. I’ll agree after you tell me what you want first because it’s impossible for an Alpha like me to promise something I don’t know about, right? So tell me what you want, and then I’ll evaluate it. If you want something I can give you, then I’ll be happy to give you what you want, Erica.” Jayden seemed to be trying to make me trust him again. Of course, what Jayden did was something that no one around me had ever done before.
Everyone around me before had treated my words as nothing more than wind, unworthy of being heard, so I was used to being ignored, but why would a stranger like Jayden treat me differently? Is this what it means to treat a werewolf humanely? Because werewolves like me are still living creatures with opinions and feelings that should be respected.
“Tell me, Erica, I don't have much time right now.” Alpha Jayden was pushing me a little because I also knew that he would be holding a meeting with all the elders of the Ruby Pack shortly. Before the big party, the elders would also be part of the party committee, so Jayden had no choice but to hold several meetings with them to ensure the security of the place. The Rogues could escape if people were careless and ruined the party.
"I just want you to give me a strong sign that I can also represent your voice, Alpha. I know what I'm asking is quite excessive, but if you don't, I'm sure the other wolves will also treat me badly. You can't help me all the time, right? Or if you can't give me something that big, at least give me a sign that you love me in the eyes of all the wolves so that they will think twice about trying to hurt and humiliate me because I'm sure the women who want you will do anything when they know that I'm still very weak. I know that the inauguration will take place tonight, but before night falls, I also have to welcome the guests, right? There is no guarantee that I can be completely safe from them all,“ I explained my intentions anxiously, even though I wanted to ask for a few things, but after thinking for a moment, I had to restrain myself so that Alpha Jayden wouldn't think I was a very greedy woman who was never satisfied with what he had given me.
”How about it, Alpha? I certainly can't keep locking myself up here, can I? I'm sure the other elders who don't know about the agreement I made with you will try to test me secretly because they all want to see if I'm worthy of being your Luna or not, so please think carefully, Alpha Jayden. I'm doing all this because I don't want what we've prepared to fall apart," I explained at length so that Jayden would understand my thoughts.
“All right, I can give you what you ask for.” Jayden walked closer to me, causing me to reflexively take a step back.
“What are you doing, Alpha?” I asked cautiously because I saw that Jayden's eyes had changed color, and I didn't want Jayden to do something to me that I had never thought of before.
“Why are you afraid, Erica? Didn't you ask for proof that I love you? So why are you so scared? Calm down. I'm not going to eat you,” said Jayden with a soft laugh that made my heart race even more because his smile was full of question marks in my head because this time his smile looked a little strange and also a little sly.
“It's not like that, Alpha. I just asked you to give me something you often wear so that people will know that you are protecting me,” I replied nervously as I continued to back away and Jayden moved closer to me.
But in the end, I couldn't back away anymore because I felt that the wall was touching my back and I couldn't just break through the wall with my weak body.
“What do you think about me, Erica?” he asked with a small smile that made my heart beat even faster.
“Alpha Jayden, please stop.” I became even more nervous until I couldn't answer Jayden's question.
“How can I stop, Erica? I'll do what you want, so calm down because I think your request is very reasonable,” Jayden replied as he got closer to me.
Now we were only about 10 cm apart, and I could even smell his breath, which was slightly calming in a way I couldn't describe in words.
“Alpha Jayden,” I muttered softly. Jayden was staring intently at me, his head began to lower, and I couldn't look away from his face.
“Calm down, Erica, I won't hurt you. I'll do what you ask with pleasure,” he said in a hoarse voice, making my heart race even faster, and my mind began to shut down because Jayden was so close to me.
“Remember, Erica, I'm doing all this because you asked me to.” The man was getting closer to me, and I slowly closed my eyes because I didn't know what Jayden would do to a girl like me at such a close distance.
Muah...
