Chapter 28
ALPHA XANDER
Alpha Maxwell stopped when we got
to a minibar. There was not much noise here and we can see everything going on in the party from here. I kept my gaze fixed outside to see when Maliya came back from the restroom.
I noticed how uncomfortable she was even while I was beside her so she would feel out of place with me gone and nobody to look up to.
“Let me start by thanking you once again for coming here tonight. You don’t know what this means to me and I appreciate your effort.”
“It’s okay,” I said flatly. I was starting to think of why Maliya was taking so long. She said she needed to pee and it’s been over ten minutes now. Even if there was a long queue at the restroom she ought to have been done by now.
“I have been thinking of paying you a visit for a while but I knew you wouldn’t like me showing you without a prior notice. Seeing you tonight is just an opportunity for me,” he said with a chuckle and I nodded while I kept my gaze fixed on the party.
No one seemed to be going in or out of there. If there was a queue, I expected everyone to be coming out one after the other, but there was nothing of such.
Could she be hiding inside because she was uncomfortable?
We all know that your pack is lucrative when it comes to business and I have been thinking that maybe we can partner together, you know?” He paused for a while to examine my expression but my mind was far away from here.
“We can discuss this properly some other time since there are so many things to consider but I believe it would be profitable for both of us,” he finished with a smile as if he had just come up with the most brilliant idea ever.
“What do you think? Should I arrange for a proper meeting soon? So far, your pack has been doing things on their own. I don’t think it would be such a bad idea to expand things with me, don’t you think?” He pushed further.
I checked my wristwatch and I was starting to feel uneasy. Maliya was gone for about twenty minutes now, and she still hasn’t returned.
“Alpha Xander!” Alpha Maxwell called my name to see if I was listening to him but I was done with the conversation.
“Let’s talk about this later, I have something to do.”
“Alpha-
I walked out on him before he could ask me any more questions and he followed after me. I was ready to snap at him if he was going to ask another stupid question, but he didn’t. Instead, he just followed behind me.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
My eyes scanned the dance floor for the umpteenth time but there was no figure that looked like Maliya or stood out like she did.
I decided to go and check the restroom to see if she was indeed there.
She couldn’t have run away, right? I thought to myself as I pushed my way through the dance floor to look for her. This is the first time she would be alone without anyone watching her.
If she wanted to flee, no one could stop her here, not when I wasn’t watching or even in my pack for that matter.
Shit! I didn’t expect her to run away, not when she was carrying my child, but she didn’t have any reason to stay too.
I knew how much she hated ane. I could feel fear from miles away and she could barely make an eye contact with me.
She was yet to tell me the one thing she wished for, but I could tell that it was freedom. That was the only reason she was hesitating to ask.
If my assumption were true, then she is not in any kind of trouble, she simply escaped.
I clenched my fist at the thought and I could feel a surge of rage Course through my veins.
I didn’t want to believe anything yet, but no matter how much I thought about it, I could only conclude.
She had either runaway, or something had happened to her.
It better not be the latter because I won’t spare anyone that touches a hair in her body.
I stormed off angrily to look for her and finally made it out of the party. I went to the corridor she turned in earlier when I finally saw her.
My breathing hitched and anger blinded my vision at the sight of what I saw, and for a moment I wanted to believe I was seen g wrong.
Maliya’s back was pressed against the wall as someone tried to force himself on her. I watched how she struggled for a second and it felt like my inside exploded at once.
It was Alpha Luxwell. I thought I told that bastard not to look at her or dared to show his face around Maliya and me.
My stomach churned in disgust as I watched how he tried to forde himself on her and I didn’t how I got to his side. My breath raged as I pulled him away from Maliya forcefully before punching his nose, and making him fall to the ground. Maliya’s eyes were closed as tears stained her cheeks. Just then, she opened her eyes and our gaze locked.
I could see the pain and fear in her eyes and my anger surfaced. Who does he think he is to touch my woman?
I turned to see the bastard crawling like a coward that he was, and I marched towards him angrily.
I dragged him up by his collar and began to punch him continuously in the face, giving him no room to fight back or protect himself.
My anger doubled as I recalled how he was touching her. The way he was forcing himself on her despite ger resistance.
How the hell does he think he is?
“I am going to fucking kill you!” I growled as I punched him harder.
A smirk spread across Alpha Luxwell’s cheeks and wanted to wipe them off, so I did exactly that by punching his face over and over.
He coughed out blood as I beat him up but I wasn’t done with hum.
“How dare you touch her, you piece of trash! She is mine!” I growled as my fist collided with his face again.
“You should have listened to my warning because now you are going to pay for this,” I hissed.
“Alpha Xander! You are going to kill him!” Alpha Maxwell yelled as he tried to get me off him, but I was stronger.
Just then, the hallway was filled with a cowd and a few men tried to break the fight. I managed to push them away and my stomach clenched as I watched how everyone was trying to save the bastard.
“Alpha Xander, snap out of this!” One of the men yelled and they came to drag me off him once again.
