58. This damsel in distress act.

Sofia.

My head was pressed against a door at the moment as I was trying so hard to listen to what was being said between the alpha and the pretentious damsel in distress called Elena. When I saw that I could barely hear a single thing from inside, I tried to push the door slightly open but it seemed locked so I simply put one of my ears against the key hole instead. And I was surprised that I was able to hear what they were saying even though it was a bit faint.

“Why are you like this, Elena? Are you sure that it is just the kidnapping and what not? Is it just the trafficking that happened to you? It just seems to me like it is way more than that, like this is very very personal than that, who hurt you, Elena, tell me.” I heard Deangelo ask her in such a calm tone that was obviously also laced with worry and concern.

The tone alone made me annoyed and I rolled my eyes, hard. I could bet that his reaction would never be the same if I was in that bitch’s shoes. I was even starting to believe that Elena is great at trying to get the alpha’s attention because she ends up getting it every single time she pulls these stupid stunts, it was very hard to believe that she was not doing all of these because she had something up her sleeves. Something like her trying so hard to get into the good books of Deangelo, possibly trying to get him to fall for her or something and the fact that it all seemed to be capturing the alpha was very annoying. I could not believe that it took less than a month for her to get the alpha in her space while I had never even gotten him to look at me other than as his wife’s best friend and his kids’ tutor.

I must be doing this thing so wrong, I might have to resort to this damsel in distress act very soon too, at least I get to know if he would be this concerned about me too, who knows if I would end up sleeping in his bed just like Elena.

My curiosity piqued as I heard the alpha keep pestering Elena about her past and what not, I wanted so bad to hear her response because I believed that it might be something that I needed to know or even something that I could use against her to trigger her trauma even more. And honestly, even if these episodes of hers are not pretence, I still very much believe that she deserved whatever she got, no matter what it was.

“Alpha, its... uh... uhm... it is...”

Ugh! Speak, you dramatic felon!

My patience was running thin at her stuttering and shaking voice and I could not help but wonder how the alpha was so patient with her and not just storming out of her presence with immediate effect.

“I... I would rather not talk about it, alpha. I prefer to leave the past in the past because I believe opening up the past and talking about it is just going to open up my wounds in return, those which are not even healed yet at that. Plus, talking about who hurt me is like opening a can of worms, nobody wants to see that.” Elena said and I scoffed at her audacity.

This bitch! If the alpha says he want to know something, then you have to tell him, whether it opens your wounds or it is a can of worms! I swear, this girl does not know that Deangelo is not someone who takes anybody in, especially not people whose entirety they know not much of.

I half expected Deangelo to snap at her to speak or try to exert his authority of being an alpha on her but he did not do that, in fact, he did not even do a damn thing.

“I understand, I honestly do not want the details, can I at least have a name though? I am sure I would out a face t the name myself and deal with whoever dared to hurt you, Elena. You did not deserve whatever made you this way and that person needs to be dealt with! Please, sweet cheeks, please.” He pleaded, and I found myself wondering if that was the same alpha that was usually very cold and stern with everyone or just some pussy who has managed to become a woman wrapper.

Because, what the heck is he even doing right now?

Why on earth is he trying to fight her battle for her? Who does he even think he is? Superman? Captain America?

However, I leaned my ear to the door even more, if that was possible because whatever name that was about to be mentioned by Elena was something I just had to hear, it was premium tea to know. Who knows whether I could locate whoever it was before the alpha does and then I could get him to act first and somehow get the bitch away from here as soon as possible which would be good news for me.

On impulse, I looked up from the floor of the door and I was shocked to see that Mia was standing at a few feet away from me. She had caught me eavesdropping on her father’s door, I smiled sheepishly as I reluctantly stood up straight while I swung my hands like a child that had been caught stealing food from the fridge.

I moved away from the door and closer to Mia, “uhm... it is so not what it looks like, Mia.” I said and she smirked like the devil that she was, that girl reminds me of er mother at every slight turn, ugh!

“It’s not what it looks like? Really, Ms Sofia? It looks to me like you were eavesdropping on father’s conversation with Ms. Elena, what other explanation is there?” She asked.

“Okay! Fine, you got me. But can you keep this between us at least, nobody needs to know, it’s not even that much of a big deal.” I said, instead of pleading.

“Well... I wish I could do that, Ms. Sofia. But I can’t, actually, I can but I won’t. Just because!” Mia responded and then smiled mischievously and I was immediately enraged by the little brat.

Like mother, like daughter indeed!

She ran away from me and I took off after her, while trying not to look like I was chasing her. I found her in the kitchen but when I took my eye off of her for just a second to have a taste of one of Mrs. Cali’s delicacies, Mia disappeared by the time I would look back up. I hurried after her but Mia was of course a master at evasion and the house was also a very large space, so I resorted to calling out her name as sweetly as I could hoping that she would at least show her face and I would be able to succeed in bribing the bratty gremlin, but then Mia was no show and I had to give up, hoping the she does not go around running her leaking mouth about what she had caught me doing.

There was literally no explanation that could vindicate me from such a stupid behaviour.

Night started to fall and Mia was still not in her bedroom, the alpha and Elena ere also still together in his room and it was as if they had both shut the world out just to be by themselves. I thought of going home and forgetting about them but I decided against it and walked towards the my room in the house, one that I used whenever I decided to spend the night instead of going home.

But as soon as i sat on the bed, my imagination started to run wild as I thought of Elena and the alpha kissing one another or possibly fucking each other’s brains out at the moment. I jumped off the bed and onto my feet and I proceeded to return to the alpha’s door and just continue what i had started, my mind was not at rest after all and I needed to get to the bottom of what could be happening between them before my mind will go to rest.

As I walked down the passageway to the alpha’s door, I saw a small shadow and I smiled thinking that I had succeeded in capturing the bratty Mia, but as soon as i turned by the corridor to grab the gremlin, who I saw instead made me yelp in shock because the shadow actually belonged to the beta of the pack.

It was Luca.
