My fated alpha

Chapter 15

Hayden

Ben blinked his eyes and looked at me as if he didn’t know where he was or what he was doing. His

eyes were glued to Madeleine so I cleared my throat.

“You were saying something?”

Upon hearing my voice, he shook his head, and Ben turned his attention to me.

“Yes, the rogues are from far south. It seems like a battle broke out in the south and some packs fought

bitterly. I don’t have the complete details but there is a new group of rogues roaming around…”

I heard the report carefully and immediately asked him to tighten the security around our territory.

I also asked him to take some of the trained recruits with him, who he knew wouldn’t die or get injured if

there were to be an attack.

Then I turned my attention to Madeleine and said, “Come, let’s put some food into your empty

stomach.”

She smiled at Ben who couldn’t take his eyes off her. I only looked at him with squinted eyes before he

abruptly turned around and left without another word.

Luke sniggered, “Possessive already?”

I snapped at him, “Shut up, Luke.”

He fell silent and I guided her to my home. My heart was fluttering at the thought of walking her home.

I had never taken a girl to my home…except one. It had been a long time ago and I don’t know why

Madeleine reminded me of her.

Trying to calm myself that I was just taking her inside my home to have her eat something felt

reassuring.

I knocked on the door again and Raine opened it. But before she could scold me for disturbing her

again, her eyes fell on Madeleine.

As expected, I could see a thousand questions forming in her head already.

Before she could jump to any conclusion, I answered her, “Raine, this is Madeleine. She was…

apparently lost and stumbled across the river where Charlie found her.”

Madeleine only raised her eyes to look at me but refrained from commenting. Raine’s eyes flitted from

me to Madeleine and she saw the dress she was wearing.

“So, you needed that for her…”

I looked around not pretending to know what she meant and Raine turned her attention to Madeleine.

“Come, come inside, we can talk inside.”

Madeleine smiled at her and we both went in. I saw my beta and gamma watching from afar giving

each other a knowing look but I only rolled my eyes at them as we went in.

Raine immediately asked Madeleine to sit down and true to her usual nature offered her a truckload of

food that she could eat for months.

Madeleine only looked at me helplessly and I couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Raine, that food will last me for three days, you know.”

My sister rolled her eyes at me and Madeleine tried to suppress her smile. For the next hour, the two

girls started to talk and conveniently forgot that I was even around.

I tried to join in their conversation once or twice, but the two were engrossed in talking to each other.

So I had no other choice but to giveup and do something else.

Shaking my head, I decided to walk out of the house and let them do the talking.

I recalled Ben rushing up to me to inform me about some rogues so I thought I might as well see if he

had found any more information.

Predictably, the two were sitting below the shadow large tree, gossiping with each other like school

girls.

Upon seeing me approach, both of them got up from their seats and stopped abruptly.

Crossing my hands over my chest, I asked them, “What is it?”

Ben and Charlie looked at each other, each pushing the other one to ask something.

Raising an eyebrow, I said in a stern voice, “Spit it out, I don’t have all day.”

Charlie, who was poking Ben in the back, suddenly blurted, “Ben was saying that he found the girl to be

pretty.”

“Is it so?”

I asked, not trying to give away anything. Ben looked anywhere but me and tried to defend himself,

“What is wrong with that? She is pretty.”

“I know that”

I added in an annoyed tone and then I was surprised at myself for saying that. I had not even thought

about it and the words had casually slipped my mouth.

Both Charlie and Ben looked at me in shock before I shrugged my shoulders, “Can we please talk

about the rogues? You can talk about pretty girls later.”

My soldiers were the best when it came to strength or battle but the two were softies when it came to

girls.

They hadn’t found their mates either and like me didn’t like fooling around with girls if they weren’t

interested.

Though when their body had demanded, they had given in to the pleasures, from what I heard. But, I

never went into the details. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Ben answered me in a serious voice, “I did try to talk with the betas of other packs in the surrounding

areas. It seems that only one of the farthest northern pack had been attacked by a rogue but that had

been taken care of swiftly. So, no big deal.”

I was relieved that there were no rogues roaming around. But then I wasn’t sure if it would be okay to

let Madeleine return to her pack on her own.

She had stayed for more than a day and if I prolonged her stay any more, I knew Garron would think

that I did that on purpose.

While I was deep in thought, I saw the two boys whisper in front of me. Turning around, I realized what

had made them suddenly talk excitedly.

Madeleine was walking towards us with Raine beside her. The two still appeared to be deep in

conversation and when the two reached us, the boys instantly fell quiet.

Raine looked at them and decided to have some fun, “Beta Charlie and Gamma Ben, have you two

introduced yourselves to our guest?”

The two realized that they hadn’t and immediately rubbed their sweaty hands on their jeans.

“Hello miss, my name is Charlie, and I am the beta of the Blue Moon pack.”

“Hello miss, my name is Ben and I am the gamma of the Blue Moon pack.”

Raine slapped her hand on her forehead as she added, “I said the exact same thing a second ago, you

boys need to work on your first impressions.”

Hearing her made the two boys look around nervously. They wanted to disappear while Madeleine

suppressed her chuckle.

“Hello, beta Charlie and gamma Ben, my name is Madeleine and I belong to…”

Her voice suddenly trailed off and I knew why. She had momentarily forgotten that she had to return to

Garron’s pack and only now did she recollect it again.

Her face immediately grew sad which all of us noticed. Trying to ease the tension, I added, “She will

join our pack soon.”

I had said that plainly and without another thought and all of them had turned to see me with wide eyes.

‘Shit’ I muttered. I had spoken that out loud and I had not even discussed it with her first.

Hastily I added, trying to salvage the situation, “...that is if she wants to.”

Madeleine gave me a smile and even Raine beamed at me. But none of their smiles seemed to be as

radiant as Ben who looked like he had found paradise.

Waving my hand in front of him, I spoke to him, “Earth to Ben, are you still here or did you leave us for

some heavenly treasures.”

All of us had a good laugh and Ben scratched the back of his head while looking at her.

Hesitantly, he asked, “Miss Madeleine, do you recall the direction to your pack? If not, I will be more

than happy to drop you.”

But before she could respond, I blurted, “No”

Luke grinned at me and I swore under my breath. What was happening to me? Was I getting jealous of

my gamma over a girl I barely knew?

Ben’s face grew small at the sudden and harsh way I had spoken, but I tried to reassure him and

correct myself.

“I need you on patrol duty for tonight as well, Ben. You can take Charlie with you.”

Charlie’s face was appalled as he tried to argue, “Why me?”

I answered, “You can keep him from falling asleep as the rogues infiltrate our territory.”

They knew I was joking so they didn’t take it to heart.

Raine who had been smiling and watching everything asked the most important question.

“But then who will drop her if not the beta or gamma, Hayden? You cannot let our guest out of our

territory on her own when you know there are rogues roaming around.”

I looked at Madeleine and answered in a confident voice, “I will”
