Chapter 88
Alessia’s POV
I walk into the bathroom and head for the bathtub. A quick shower isn’t going to help get rid of all the dirt that has
accumulated on my body in the past two days. I need a good hot soaking.
Stripping down, I slide into the warm water and sigh as my sore muscles relax. I feel like I’ve ran a thousand miles just
to be run over by a truck.
Making sure to keep my injured arm above the water level, I scrub my body, doing the best that I can with only one free
hand. When I finally feel partly and somewhat clean, I rinse the soap off my body and just soak in the tub until my skin
starts looking wrinkly.
That’s when I realized that it was time to hop out of there. I towel my body and head to my wardrobe to look for an outfit Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
that I can easily put on without moving my arm a great deal.
I settle on some shorts and a shirt with buttons at the front. It’s a struggle to do the button but I manage and smile at my
reflection in the room, deciding for my sake to ignore the bed nest sitting on top of my head.

There’s no way that I’ll be able to try and take care of that mess of hair. So, I just have to make do with what I have.
Throwing one last glance at the mirror, I head out of my room and walk down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Conversations come to a standstill as I stroll into the dining hall. And unless this is some outrageous coincidence, then
everyone is keeping quiet because I just walked in.
I know that rumors about what happened must have been spreading around the pack house like widefire, hence why it
feels like everyone has their eyes on me.
Walking over to the table filled with a variety of options, I pick up a plate and start filling it up with anything that I set my eyes on. I finally stop when my plate is filled to the brink with eggs, hotdogs, pancakes, and beacons. A shadow appears behind me and I turn around when I get a whiff of that familiar delicious scent. “You’re going to sit with me today,” Caden states, picking up an empty plate and doing the
exact thing I did, piling the place with every food on the table. “Why would I do that?” I’ve never done that before and I don’t intend to start now. Especially not when another rumor is already running rampant. Doing that is just going to give the pack of hyenas something else to munch on. I’m not doing that. I’m going to sit at my usual spot. “I said you sitting with me and that’s final,” Caden grits out, sounding annoyed. My annoyance also makes an appearance as I stare at the back of his head, wishing I had something in my hand to use to knock him over his fat head. Ignoring his words, I head over to an empty seat and settle. into it then start digging into my plate. 1/3 Chapter 88 I’m hungry as f u c k and not even their stares are going to drive me away from this table and my mission to fill up my stomach with whatever food I can get my hands on. I continue shoving pancakes and beacons into my mouth, my conversation with Caden already a thing of the past. Apparently, Caden doesn’t share those sentiments with me because his butt lowers into the empty chair on the right side of mine. I stop eating, glaring at him and gritting my teeth. “What are you doing here?” I look around the table and just as I suspected, everyone has their gaze fixed on us. This is exactly what I was trying to avoid. “Having breakfast with my mate,” he answers innocently and digs into his plate. What happened in the days that I was unconscious? Did Caden hit his head and have a personality disorder? That’s the only explanation I can come up with as to why he’s acting weird. Looking over to the chair at the head of the table where he normally sits, I find it empty and turn my glare back on him. “Your seat is empty. Go sit down there and leave me be,” I groan out, turning my focus back
onto my delicious plate of food. Caden doesn’t make a move to stand up and I sigh, squirming under the gazes and questioning looks fixed on us. I wonder how long it will take for these new rumors to die down. What were they coming up with at the moment? Caden has never sat down beside me at the dining table before so this is going to be a whole new dimension for them. Are they saying that I casted a spell on their Alpha to bewitch him and make him lose his senses? Another shadow appears behind me and I twist my neck to the side just as Raphael settles into the other empty seat beside me. Oh, this is going to be some juicy rumors. I’m almost eager to hear what exactly it is that they’ll cook up. Ignoring the unwanted guests on both sides, I focus on my food and devour everything on it down to the last scrape. Reaching for the glass of water I brought along with my plate, I down it all in one go and wipe my mouth with the back of my palm. “Do you need another serving?” My head lifts at those words and I find Caden staring at me with amusement in his eyes.. “You were five seconds away from shoving that plate into your mouth.” His eyes t w i n kl e and I’m momentarily blinded by how beautiful they look before I snap out of the trance. I answer his question with a glare and stand up, shoving my seat backward and exiting the dining room. I dump my plate into the kitchen sink and rub my sweaty palms on my thighs. Chapter 88 Now that my stomach has been filled, the next thing on my agenda is having that talk with Jake.
