Her possessive alpha novel Chapter 50

　　Bubbly Meeka

　　Ava was puzzled.

　　“Nani, who is that food you’re setting for?”

　　“I don’t know either. The alpha gave instructions to set the table, someone special will be joining us this morning, it did seem strange because there aren’t any noble visitors around, but you know the alpha’s popular saying, ‘do as you’re told without questioning.’”

　　Nani finished setting the table and sent one of the wolf guards there to inform the alpha in his chambers.

　　About a minute later, the guard returned followed by the very someone no one expected to see; alpha Lucas De’Clan himself. Why had he come after he said he wouldn’t? Why the sudden change of mind? Ava asked herself within her. All the dawners stood up upon sighting their alpha, they all bowed their heads in recognition of his presence and he bowed back at them before taking his seat in the middle of Cian and Filip.

　　Not a word was said as everyone continued to eat. It was as if Lucas made the air surrounding them cold, everyone was scared to utter a word because they know their alpha as a ghost; an unpredictable man, and it made everyone wonder why he decided to join them downstairs especially when there wasn’t any special occasion going on. Ava felt sorry for her mate; Lucas was a good man, but not everyone knew that because he keeps to himself too much, so much so that they were even scared of communicating with him. Long minutes stretched and then Meeka broke the silence, she stood up on her chair and began to tell her wolfy jokes.

　　“Yay! I’ve finished my food now, and I’m so glad that I get to share my wolfy jokes with everyone, even Alpha Lucas came down to hear me today!”

　　Everyone turned in the direction of little Meeka and suddenly the air was all bubbly again. It’s amazing what a little child can do. All the attention now shifted away from Lucas and was placed from little Meeka, who nearly fell off her chair trying to demonstrate a howl; that move of hers alone made the dawners almost jump from their seats, laughing hysterically.

　　Suri sat in the corner with Nani watching everything, hoping that the ground would open up and swallow her at any moment. Nani was laughing too but didn’t miss Suri’s reaction.

　　“Relax dear, can’t you see how much tension she’s letting off?”

　　“I’m glad she’s doing that, but what if she goes to say something that will put us in trouble again?”

　　“Alpha Lucas isn’t like that, the last time you nor your daughter weren’t punished should have told you the kind of man wolf he is, don’t worry dear. I’m sure everything will be fine.”

　　“I hope so.”

　　Breakfast was now over and everyone slowly began to retire to their quarters, greeting the alpha who stood by the door on the way out. Kiara approached him as she was about to leave too.

　　“I’m glad you came today alpha Lucas, it’s like everyone has forgotten what it’s like to have an alpha.”

　　“And I’ve forgotten what it’s like to have followers, I’ve neglected my duties for so long. Maybe it’s time I forget about the past and start facing my responsibilities. I hope you should have also acquainted with Ava now.”

　　“I’m glad to hear that, and yes I have made friends with her,” she said with a smile and walked away. She knows that Ava is the reason behind this surprise today, but didn’t bother to mention.

　　Everyone had finally left and it was now only Ava still at the table, she spotted Lucas still waiting for her at the door and got up, walking towards him. They left the dining room and began to take a walk together.

　　“It’s good you came today, Lucas. Everyone was surprised at first but later it all turned out to be nothing but laughter.”

　　“It wasn’t me, thank the goddess for Meeka.”

　　“Your presence cleared the air for Meeka to speak up; she wouldn’t have had the chance to tell all those jokes if you hadn’t come,” she said with a laugh. Lucas couldn’t tell if she was being sarcastic or funny, all he knew was that she had the most beautiful smile he’d ever seen.

　　“So, um… Ava, what plans do you have for today?”

　　“I’ve greeted everyone that wanted to see me today, that was the whole reason I had to come down today, so now there’s no need for anyone to come and see me privately again as they all know I’m fine.”

　　“That’s good. So how do you intend on spending your day?”

　　“I don’t know, but I know I want to spend it with you.”

　　She wants to spend the day with him? What a shocker. He wants to spend the day with her too, but of course, he won’t admit it.

　　“So, what would you like to do?”

　　“It’s been a while since I left my wolf run.”

　　It’s been a while since he let Erasmus out too, he hardly ever does. Not that he didn’t like his wolf, but his cursed form always reminded him of his dark past. Erasmus understood well so he didn’t bother him much about it, man and wolf weren’t joined together by nature or the goddess, Erasmus was created for Lucas as a punishment. But for Ava, he could do anything.

　　“Very well then, let’s take the wolves for a run. Where would you like to go?”

　　She smiled seductively. “The drawl forest, I want you to take me to that cabin.”
