*****Alex''s POV*****


    I had just dropped the call with Gage when a knock came at the door to the room.


    "Come in." I called and the door was pushed open, revealing Seren dressed exquisitely.


    I raised a brow at the sudden attire while she smiled at me.


    Come to think of it, it had been so long since Ist saw Serenity, she had just been going on and off for a while now, never at home and always busy.


    I wasn''tining though, considering that she had her own life to live and she had her own things to deal with.


    "Alex.." she whined, the usual whining she added each time she called out my


    name.


    "You don''t look happy to see me.." she pouted and strolled into the room.


    She pped her hands softly and a maid came in carrying a tray of different meals in tow.


    "I brought you food!" She smiled and getsured for the maid to ce the tray on the table. Once the meal had been ced on the table, she dismissed the maid and the maid left.


    She turned to me again and wiggled her eyebrows, suddenly also making me smile at the cute gesture.


    "I said to treat you to a meal today, since I''m always busy running errands for myself and not having time for us anymore."


    For some reason, the way she said it made me cringe inside, but smiled at her. "From today, I''ll be taking care of your meals." She added and began to set the meal before me, adding the essentials and everything she knew I liked.


    "Alex say something and stop staring." She quipped with a blush and I blinked, realizing that I had been staring at her for a very long time.


    "What''s up with you? You look lost."


    "I''m fine, just stressed." I replied and she raised a brow at me. "Oh you''re stressed? Then that''s good! There''s a partying up in two days, I''m taking you along." She said and beamed at me.


    I scrunched my face up at the party and sighed. It''s been such a long time I had such outings with Seren, so I guess it wouldn''t be a bad idea to actually go out and unwind for a while.


    "Fine, we''ll go to the party in two days, who''s the celebrant?"


    "A high school friend of mine, he just returned from abroad."


    "Oh..." I drawled and she nodded.


    "Now open wide.." she chided and I felt slightly ufortable having her feed me the meal.


    "It''s fine, I''ll eat myself..." I began to say, but was rudely interrupted by her.


    "We haven''t seen each other for a while now and this is like the only chance for us to actually bond again, let me treat you well. You might never get this chance again."


    I frowned at thest part, what did she mean by that? I watched her face and the look that shed in her eyes.


    Seren was hiding something from me, she definitely wasn''t telling me something.


    "What do you mean by that?" I asked her, trying to get the reason behind that statement.


    She blinked, her expression going back to the nk unreadable one she always had on her face.


    "Oh, I mean to say that we might not


    have this chance again because you would soon be upied by the pack''s duties and I will be upied by my own things." She exined, but still my heart felt she was lying.


    It felt odd, but I couldn''t push it too far.


    I let her feed me the meal one after the other until I couldn''t eat anymore of it. "That''s enough." I waved a hand to stop her from feeding me anymore of the meal.


    She nodded and set the tes aside.


    "I''m d I could do this for you, I see the stress you keep going through all these while and I feel that you need this rest." She said, a sudden genuine look in her eyes.


    All suspicions I had just now about her disappeared, reced with a soft look of appreciation.


    Here I was suspecting her for nothing actually, and she was thinking of my health, even bringing me food.


    "What about you? Have you had anything to eat?" I asked her and she shook her head.


    "I suddenly don''t have an appetite to eat anything. I prefer feeding you the meal instead." She said and I nodded.


    "Just try to eat something before you leave, by the way, where do you always go off to each time?"


    I stylishly asked and I saw her freeze.


    The suspicion was back again.


    "oh, I got this job that I''m doing, I''ll tell you about it when we bond again." She said and extended a hand to touch my face.


    "For now, I''ll just continue the job and I love it so much." She added yfully, pinching my chin softly.


    "If that''s all for now, I''ll get going." She said and gathered the tes, "See youter, Alex."


    She strutted out of the room, leaving me to watch the imaginary after image I thought she left behind.


    "Don''t you think she is acting very strange?" I asked Elijah and he hummed.


    "She is acting strange. You know I never liked this serenity right from the very day mate left this house." He added and I winced internally at being reminded of how Erika had been the Luna of this pack.


    Now she was the Alpha of the number one pack, and a ruthless one at that. She was now so distant that not just anyone could get to her. I''m even grateful she didn''t lock me up and punish me for my actions back then.


    She seemed nicer to me.


    "Mate is very kind."


    "Elijah stop calling her our mate, we can''t mate her anymore. She is now unreachable and untouchable." I sighed and rxed in my seat, heart suddenly clenched as the memories of how I had treated her


    MA


    came flooding in.


    If only I could get a second chance from her, I would dly right my wrongs and


    im my Luna again.
