Chapter 38: The training house (Part Two)

Immediately, I remove my eyes away from his and pull my hand away from the paper, standing up, nervously.

The alpha laughs and slowly stood up as well, holding the paper in his hand.

I lower my head, feeling embarrassed. I hated whenever he does that, laughs at me.

As I lower my head, I saw him gently pass the paper towards me. I raise my head, looking at him and there I saw his eyes yet again fixed on me.

Slowly, I brought my head back to the paper and gently begin to take the paper from his hand, carefully pulling it away from him.

My heart started to race within my chest, seeing that he refuses to let go of the paper while he was giving it to me. It was like he was playing with me.

Instantly, I move my hand away from his and return my stare to his bright blue eyes.

The alpha gave me a grave look.

Is he angry at me for throwing his papers all over his office, I begin to think scared.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bates," I apologize to him, not wanting him to be angry with me. His anger scares me badly.

My eyes widen as I saw him smirk. I lower my head again embarrassed and there I saw him still holding his hand, wanting me to take the paper.

I again move my hand about to take it from him. I return my hand to my side not wanting to, knowing what might happen again, him refusing to give me the paper.

"Nala," I heard the alpha rough voice calls me.

I return my eyes to him immediately.

"Aren't you going to take the paper from me?" the alpha inquires me.

I slowly return my head to his hand, reaching out to me with the paper, and again stretch my right hand to take the paper away from him. My fingers held onto the tip of the thin white paper and made a gentle pull. My heart almost stops as I felt him playfully pull back the paper towards him, not wanting to let it go.

I carried my eyes to him, while I still hold onto the end of the paper, with a questionable face; wanting him to know why he wants me to take the paper and refuse to give it at the same time.

My eyes widen seeing a large smile appears on his face, allowing the beauty of his blue eyes to shine even more.

I turn my face aside instantly, staring at the wall, shyly and too not liking what was happening.

"What are you going to do, when you're mating with your mate?" my eyes widen at the wall while my heart beats within my chest, even more, hearing what the alpha had said.

"Shy away," I heard him answer his own question.

I lower my head, look away from the wall, and slowly move my hand away from the alpha.

I was so uncomfortable in the way he was acting towards me and where the conversation was heading that my body started to shake nervously. I need it to stop now, I wanted to before I find myself passing out and yet again embarrassing myself even more.

"I'm going to finish your work, Mr. Bates," I told him as I quickly turn around, not caring about the paper that was in his hand anymore.

"Hah," I shriek as I felt him, pulling me back and spinning me around to face him.

My eyes went to him as he did.

"I ask you a question?" the alpha inquires me with his eyes gazing into mine, wanting me to answer him.

I lower my head, shyly, staring at his black shoe.

"Nala, look at me," the alpha commanded me.

I slowly raise my head and begin to stare into his eyes, nervously. My bottom lip begins to shiver as I did.

"Didn't I ask you a question, the alpha inquires me playfully?"

"Yes, Mr. Bates," I answer, staring into his eyes while my lips shiver even more.

I didn't want to answer him, hating the question. I wish he'd just let me go and let me move on to my work. After all the question he was asking was about him. He is my one true mate and yes, I would, I thought while I lower my head, shyly.

"No, once I'm comfortable with him I wouldn't," I answer him which was not a lie.

My body jumps frighteningly, and I carry my eyes to him, feeling his hand that was no longer against my hand, stroking my hair gently.

"Okay," he answers me while he nodded and moves his hands away from me.

I exhale heavily, feeling relieved, while I remain to stand still before him. He then again begins to give me the paper he kept on teasing me with. I stare at it wondering if I should try to take it from him again. I decided not to.

"It won't happen again, I promise," the alpha told me as he stares into my eyes.

I reach for the paper and hold the end of it. He let go of the paper as I did.

The alpha then walks away from me, heading towards the door. I watch him as he did.

As I saw him open the door, I hurriedly return to my work.

"You didn't answer the first question I ask you?" the alpha stops me as I heard him open the door.

I turn to him, trying to remember what it was. Soon it hits me.

"I'll have a fried chicken and mash potato," I told him.

I didn't know much food and asked for the one I'd had before. Also, I didn't want him to know that I came from the forest. It was much safer that way.

"Any drink?" he inquires me.

"Water," I answer him.

He nodded and left, closing the door behind.

I exhale heavily as he did and lower myself down to the ground sitting down. Being around the alpha had seemed to become harder again. His new treatment was allowing me to become very uncomfortable.

I started on my work, focusing on what I was doing and too trying to forget how uncomfortable the alpha made me feel that in no time I was through and put away the box, trying to seek other more files to organize but there was none. I had no choice but to return to my chair and wait for the alpha to return.

"Hah," I said worried, as the thought of what else he will try to do to me started to make me anxious.

I'm glad that he was not hurting me anymore, but the way he now treats me makes me feel so uneasy.

I got up from my chair as I heard the door open and there, I saw it was the alpha returning with a large clear bag within his hand.

"I'm finished Mr. Bates," I told him as he closes the door behind him. "What should I do next?"

"It's lunchtime, let's eat and I'll tell you later," the alpha told me as he walks past me and went behind his desk.

I was so surprised at how long I was within the office filing when I thought I had finished quickly.

"Sit," the alpha told me as he begins to take out the food from the bag.

I obeyed him and watched him as he did.

He passes me the food I wanted with a bottle of water and then places his meal on the table. A large sandwich that smells delicious that made me wish I had asked for the same thing he was having. With his sandwich, he too was having a bottle of water along with it.

The alpha put aside the bag and sat in his chair before me.

I stare at him, wishing I didn't have to eat, and stare within his face. I was so uncomfortable and nervous as hell.

"Aren't you going to eat?" the alpha inquires me as he took a big bite of his sandwich.

I nodded and shyly begin to uncover the plastic cover of the small round plate my lunch was in.

Not wanting to look at him while I eat, I stare at my plate and begin to eat slowly. For the entire time, I devour my lunch my eyes were within the plate only and not at him.

"Are you enjoying your lunch?" the alpha inquires me.

Before I could answer him, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," the alpha orders the person.

"Good afternoon, sir," I heard a familiar voice. A voice I've heard before.

"Afternoon," the alpha greeted him back.

"I've completed what you have told me to," the familiar voice again told the alpha. That I had no choice but to turn around to look at him and there I saw who it was. It was Eric. The second man I've met within Burnesfield. He was the one who first took me out to see the main area of the land and from that day I didn't see him again.

I was happy to see him once more that I smile as his eyes met mine.

"Hello Nala," he greeted me kindly, I nodded and turn around not wanting to disturb the conversation with him and the alpha.

"Okay, you may leave," the alpha told him.

I look behind me and watch him as he did, remembering how kind and charming he was to me.

As Eric closes the door behind him. I turn around to face the alpha. I froze instantly within the chair by the grave look he was giving me. Immediately, I lower my head and begin to complete my lunch, not wanting to see eye to eye with him now.

"How do you two know each other?" the alpha inquires me.

I stop eating and raise my head to face him, answering him. "He took me out and show me the main area of this land," I answer him.

The alpha nodded and removed his eyes away from me. I was so shocked to see within his eyes now that he was somehow bothered by what I had said. No, I'm just thinking that to be so, I thought as I look away from him.

"Did you enjoy yourself with him?" the alpha again inquires me.

"Yes," I answer as I raise my head.

"Good," he answers while he nodded, now staring back at me.

"It's forbidden for my secretary to be involved in any relationship with my men if there not mates," the alpha said to me before I could remove my eyes off him.

I was so surprised by what he had said. Still, I nodded telling him yes.

How could he think I was interested in being in a relationship with Eric I thought angry, while I continues to stare at him. I was so pissed by him that I could feel my blood boiling within me with great anger.

"I'm glad you understand," the alpha told me as he got up from his chair and throw away the small remain of his lunch within his small garbage bin.

I covered the plate and drank some of my water no longer wish to eat anymore. What the alpha said hurts me badly. I only see Eric as a good stranger or friend but still who gave him the right to make that rule.

"There's no more work here for you to do today, let me give you a tour around the place and by tomorrow I'll find something for you to do," the alpha said as he walks towards the door waiting on me to follow him.

I got up and too threw away the remains of my lunch and walk towards him. As I did, I couldn't help to think why he was interested in giving me a tour around the training house suddenly. Was he only interested after finding out about Eric giving me a tour within his land? I thought even more as he opens the door, allowing me to exit.

I stop and watch him as he exits the office as well, closing the door behind him, leading the way downstairs.

"Alpha Anton," Mr. Travis the man he had introduced to me earlier, calls him.

"Stay here, I'll be right back," the alpha told me.

I nodded and waited for him within the hallway.

As the alpha went away, I saw Eric coming towards me. He gave me a bright smile as he approaches me.

"What are you doing here?" he inquires me as he stood in front of me.

"I'm Mr. Bates's secretary," I answer him as I step backward, remaining distant from him.

I didn't want the alpha to return and thought that anything was happening between us after what had happened back there within the office.

"Okay," Eric answers me with a great smile.

I smile back at him, staring at him.

Eric was within a dark grey shirt, a pair of blue pants, and a black booth. He looks good.

As he begins to say something to me, I took another step backward and lower my head, seeing that the alpha was returning.

Eric, I wanted to call him and inform him that the alpha was behind him, but I was just too afraid to.

"Remember what I told you about us being more back at the market?" Eric questions me.

I didn't answer him. I was so damn nervous and wanted him to just leave, knowing who was behind him.

"So did you think about it, Nala?" he again questions me.

Slowly, I raise my head, staring behind Eric.

My eyes widen immediately seeing great anger within the alpha's eyes.

I was so frightened that my body froze while my lips trembles.
