Chapter 78
The moment we were settled on the bed again and the food had been laid out in front of us. Alpha Greyson’s face remained. on mine and he watched my every movement, from the moment I dug my fork into the food, even till the food made its way into my mouth.
The glee on his face was similar to the one a child that had been given their favorite bar of chocolate had.
Surprisingly, the moment the food came in contact with my tongue the burst of flavors was shocking and I couldn’t have been able to hold in my surprise even if I had tried. The moan that escaped my lips was already a dead giveaway that I was enjoying the food.
“That good huh?” “The Alpha was currently wiggling his brows in pride and I was enjoying the food too much to try to put a dent in his good mood by downplaying how good the food actually was.
That did not seem to please the Alpha because in the next minute he was taking the plate out of my hands and sending a playful glare my w
“If you’re not going to admit that the food actually tastes amazing then you don’t deserve it.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It tastes wonderful, can I have my plate back now?” I humored him, doing my best to hold in my laughter at his sulky face.
He finally returned my plate after he deemed my words satisfactory enough, muttering about ‘greedy green eyed girls that were only interested in him because of his food.”
We are the most of our meals in silence but I didn’t mind. It was a comfortable silence, not one of the ones that made me think about what to say to dispel it. Or the ones that made me fear that he was upset. This one was the type of silence that brought with it, calmness.
The only sounds that could be heard in the room was the sound of cutlery against plate.
But alas! It was broken.
-What was it like at your previous pack?”
The question threw me off guard and I paused with my fork midway to my mouth, before dropping it back onto my plate. I couldn’t remember a time where I had been asked this question since I left.
A knot formed in my throat as I remembered everything that I had been through in the brutal pack. And when Jessy had been born, the treatment had become three times worse.
It wasn’t something I ever wanted to experience again, to be honest, it wasn’t something I even wanted to talk or think about but something about the way the Alpha watched me with soft and gentle eyes made me want to open to him, tell him everything.
“It was horrible. Very horrible. It’s hard thinking about how I even survived all of it.” I whispered finally, after a long silence.
The Alpha did not say anything, he only continued to watch me but I could see the frown that I hated mar his handsome. features as he studied me.
“I was constantly punished, beaten, abused and most times it was for ng absolute reason. Most times, I went days with no food. It got worse when I had Jessy. There were bad whispers, finger pointing, mean words and even worse treatfhents.” 1

Chapter 78
The Alpha reached out towards my face and I frowned at his hands, it wasn’t until he was wiping a tear from my face that I realized that i was crying
He packed up our plates and arranged them into the tray that we had brought them with, while I only continued to watch

Once he was done, he opened his arms and I moved to settle in between it. Closing my eyes at the feeling of his large, warm arms wrapped securely around my small frame. His intoxicating scent helped to calm me down and in minutes I couldn’t even remember why I had been crying
“Feel better?” He whispered to me and I nodded my head not wanting to move from my cozy spot against his chest. “It’s Sam already, I think we should start getting ready for our day.” He said softly again and I groaned loudly Peeking my head from its cozy spot to glance at the bedside clock. True to his words the red numbers showed 5:05.a.m
Sighing heavily I moved out of his arms and trudged in the direction of the bathroom. Hoping to wash away the sex and sweat that clung to my skin before beginning my day.
I twisted the shower knobs until the right temperature of water was pouring out and I had just stepped into the downpour when the glass of the shower stall was pulled open and the Alpha was joining me in the space.
It was definitely not the first time we were taking a shower together but the mischievous glint that shone in his eyes let me know that he was up to no good this time.
