Female Novel
Chapter 480
Chapter 0480
I turn and look at Alpha Mahli and try to swallow the food around the lump in my throat. I definitely have
a bad feeling about this.
After breakfast, Alpha Mahli gives me a tour of the packhouse, including his personal bedroom. Gross.
It’s just as dark as the rest of the packhouse. I also realize that he has put me on the Alpha floor across
from his room. Yeah, I’ll be locking my door tonight.
Then, he gives me a tour of the pack lands. I realize that he’s taking every opportunity to touch me
possible, finding reasons to put his hand on my back to guide‘ me, or sliding his hand across my back
when he goes to point at
something. The hairs on the back on my neck are standing on end and all I want to do is get away from
this guy.
I do find out that he’s been an Alpha for nearly 15 years and his fated mate died. I try to consider that
maybe that’s why he’s so awkward and why he likes the dark, but I can’t reconcile it in my mind.
Finally, he drops me off at my room, telling me he needs to do some work and that dinner will be in two
hours. I wait until I hear his footsteps walk away before locking the door. The first thing I do is open the
blinds, letting sunshine in. Then I find my bag and grab my phone. I send Clint a text, hoping that I’ll
hear back, but doubting that it will happen. I know they are out hunting and fighting rogues. I feel like I
need a tether to my real life to combat the eerie feeling I have about what’s happening here.
When I don’t get a response, I decide to take a shower and lay down for a while. I doze off and am
awakened to the sounds a metal scraping on metal. I turn and see that Alpha Mahli has used a key to
unlock my door and is walking into the
room.
“You’ve slept the afternoon away, Lily. It’s time to get up and come have dinner.” He starts walking over
to me and I quickly hop off the bed.
“Oh, I’m so sorry. Let me brush my hair and I’ll be ready to go.” I say, darting toward the ensuite
bathroom.
“Actually, I bought you a dress to wear for dinner. Your father gave me your size. I’d like you to wear it
tonight. I have something special planned.”
“Will my father be joining us?” I ask, hoping the answer is yes.
“No, his…..business, is keeping him busy tonight.” By the way he says ‘business‘

I get the feeling that it’s not business at all. But, if it’s not, I don’t know why we’d be here.
“Okay, where is the dress?”
He goes to the closet and pulls out a red satin dress with black lace overlay. It’s strapless and the black
lace falls farther than the satin which looks like it will barely cover my backside. Honestly, it looks more
like sexy lingerie than something that I would wear to dinner. And if I was choosing my own lingerie,
this wouldn’t be my color scheme. It matches the tawdry décor of the packhouse.
“I think it will go beautifully with your brown hair.” He says, handing me the dress while sliding his
fingers through my hair. My body shivers in revulsion at his touch, but his smile and the darkening of
his eyes leads me to believe he thinks I like his touch.
“I’ll wait here while you put it on.” He says, stepping back. I’m not sure if he thinks I’m going to strip in
front of him, but no, that’s not happening. I walk into the bathroom and firmly shut the door, listening tonovelbin
make sure he isn’t going to come in.
I quickly change into the dress and I’m just getting myself adjusted in the top when he opens the door
without knocking.
He looks me up and down. “Beautiful. And there are these.” He hands me a pair of what must be 5 inch
red and black stiletto platform heels. I lean down and put them on my feet. When I stand, I’m nearly as
tall as he is.
