53. A better job at hiding.

Deangelo.

After Elena had abruptly let the coffee spill on the table and even a good amount on me, she excused herself and just rushed out. I looked around to see that Sofia and Camila had also witnessed this as well as Mrs. Cali and they all had shocked looks on their faces, obviously thinking that Elena was very out of line for not apologizing for spilling my coffee like that.

They even started to look at one another, asking what was wrong with her and why she would be that careless yet not apologize and instead run off like she had something pursuing her.

Camila looked like she wanted to walk over to help me with the mess which is actually sort of her job but then Sofia suddenly pushed through and was soon before me helping me clean the coffee off my pants in a manner that was a bit too slow and quite off.

“I apologize for Elena’s behaviour, alpha. She is always like this, I think you just let her get aay with a lot of things and that is why she thinks something like this is okay.” She said as she cleaned the same spot close to my crotch over and over.

If this was been done by another female, someone like Elena for instance, I was very sure that I would be growing bigger in my pants by now but for Sofia, I was not even in the least bit aroused at what she was doing even though it seemed like she wanted me to be. I shake the thoughts of that from my head before speaking.

“It’s okay, Sofia. There is no issue with what she did at all, I think she just had to go to the restroom so bad, I don’t think she even knew that it spilled on me.” I said after stopping Sofia who looked like she was ready to keep cleaning unnecessarily, while avoiding the messed up table like it was a plague.

I continued to eat my toast with an amused smile on my face while evryone went back to whatever it was that they were doing before.

Sofia was the only one who looked like she was being highly suspicious of Elena and I’s behavior but she did not say anything about it.

My kids came down the stairs dressed neatly in their school uniforms and while Diego ran to hug me, Mia simply greeted and went instead to get her breakfast.

“I would be dropping you guys off at school today.” I announced and this seemed to surprise them both and even the women surrounding me. Diego was extremely excited about that and so was Mia but she as usual played it off like it was not a big deal and it made me smile.

“Uh.... really? I hope it will not be a hassle for you, I had planned to drop them at the school today already since uh... Elena has not been able to yet.” Sofia said and I smiled, “thank you, Sofia, but I will do it today. I have to go to the company today after a while and I want to just drop them off on the way.” I said and she nodded.

After dropping them off, I went to the company, one that had been founded by my great grand father and handed down from generations to generations, we employ humans here too although they never know of our secret lives. I hardly went there these days because I had been focusing more on trying to get back at the Amato pack.

When I got in there, my father scowled at me, “look who have decided to grace us with his presence today, to what do we owe this special honour to, your highness?” he said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.

Father and I had a relationship that was not so smooth. After he gave the position of the alpha of our pack to me and stepped down, we hardly saw each other much more speak to one another. The strain had started when he brought in Beatrice as a new mom for me and I had downright rejected her saying nobody was ever going to replace my mother. especially not someone as shallow and gold digging as Beatrice. The only good thing that came out of their union was Lucy which had always been the sweetest baby sister ever, one that I would lay my life for in a second if needed. She was also the only reason why I tolerated her mother and let her stay with the pack in my vicinity.

Without further ado, we got into business meeting while I tried to catch up with everything I might have missed, although it was quite easy because Luca made sure to always feed me with everything from time to time. But then I could not get a certain red head out of my head even through all of these.

I knew that she had seen me touching myself and we had yet another sexual moment, mere thinking of it was enough to start getting me aroused but I could not help but think if it was just too much for her to take judging from her reaction this morning at the table. Maybe I should talk to her when I get back home, I thought.

Luca walked into my office, getting me off the trance I was in, “I have some news about the man that had assaulted Elena.” He said and I smiled.

Finally, some good news, because I could not wait to snap somebody’s head off their necks. I believed that this had to have been done by someone trying to get back at me, or her even.

“I can not find any connections between this man and any of our enemies or rivals, alpha. To be honest, I think this is a very random attack that we should put too much energy into.” He said and I glared at him, unconvinced that this was just something random. It just did not feel random plus I wanted more excuse to kill anyone who could have dared to mess with Elena like that.

“There has to be a correlation, Luca. There has to be an explanation, you just need to check deeper. Whoever dared to hurt her like that should not be left walking freely around, he needs to be put down and tortured to death even.”

Luca got pissed however at my stubbornness and so he put snapped, “I have checked everywhere and I have found nothing because there is nothing to be found, I am tired of checking for something so irrelevant, Deangelo. I don’t understand why you keep letting this girl to get into your head like this. Why are we even stressing ourselves over this stranger we barely know nothing about, she is no one and nothing to be cared over so much for. Get a grip!” He snapped and I got very angry.

I stood up from my chair and stalked towards him, I grabbed him by his collar, “is this how you would feel if it had bee Mia, Camila or any other female of the pack? Is this how you would treat it with levity if it were them? UH?” I yelled at him, extremely angry at his choice of words and nonchalance.

“Those are women of our pack, Deangelo! Not some random girl that wandered into our home from nowhere.” He said with an eyeroll.

“Elena is now a part of the pack too, Luca and you need to understand that! You need to start treating her with some respect and kindness and stop acting based on what I had told you that I felt about her! Say things like what you have just said about her again and you will see my wrath, I promise you!” I said as I tightened his collar making him cough until I then came to my senses and realized that I was hurting my friend with my strong grip on him.

I let go and helped him straightened his shirt, “I am sorry for the outburst...” I apologized as I moved away from him.

Luca just looked shocked, he had never seen me act so irrationally, “what was that just now? You literally went ballistic on me because I said she is not a part of the pack?”

“I am sorry, I have just been over the edge ever since the party especially since I had seen that son of a bitch right there. Only for Elena to have gotten assaulted barely an hour later.” I explained, feeling guilty for my overreaction.

“But why are you so interested and almost obsessed about this girl, Deangelo? Are you sure this is just a simple crush or lust to just get her into your bed? Are you sure that it is not more than that? Possibly you already falling for her?” Luca asked, giving me a suspicious look.

“Of course not! This heart is made of stone and it is closed for entry by anybody else other than the ones who have previously occupied it. I am so not falling for her.” I quickly rushed out. “I am merely looking after a member of our pack, that could have been anyone, we need to be very vigilant.” I added.

Luca looked like he did not believe me but he did not press further, “well, I will try and see if I could make more correlations and probably dig something out but do not put your mind in it. I do not promise anything.” He said.

“Thank you, man.” I replied and then he left.

I was frustrated, I can not just go around hurting people because of Elena. Whatever this feeling is that I feel so strongly for her, I really need to do a better job hiding it.

This is just like a disaster waiting to happen.
