Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

They started walking towards the garden, and Alyssa’s heart was flipping in her chest. She couldn’t believe that it was truly happening.

At first, when he said that he had to accompany her to the garden, she didn’t know what to say to that, because for many days, they had been at each other’s throats and now, they were having a walk together? It seemed unreal.

She looked up at him to see if he had a scornful look on his face.

He didn’t.

She started wondering what his plan was and why he wanted to accompany her. She started thinking about what to say to him and a few seconds later, she knew what to say.

“Why?” Alyssa said, and she mentally slapped herself. She had planned to ask him why he was following her to the garden, but she ended up embarrassing herself with her one word question.

“Hm?” He asked, and he stole a glance at her. He badly wanted to know what she was thinking about and why she wanted to even go to the garden, but he didn’t know how to ask her that.

Furthermore, he didn’t even know how to start a conversation between the both of them. So, he was a bit happy when she spoke up first, even though it was just a word.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Why…did you say that you wanted to follow me…to the garden?” She stuttered, and she was thankful when she finally completed her sentence.

“Well, I was bored, and I decided to.” He simply answered, but they both knew that that wasn’t true. Liam decided to follow her out because he knew that she had a motive with the way she was looking at Ella and Timothy when they left the room.

He thought that she might want to kidnap her son and maybe do something to Ella. He wasn’t sure.

“Oh, really?” She asked, and she quickly added, “how are you certain that I’m interesting enough to change that?” She asked, and could feel a smile coming on.

Likewise, she loved the way she was feeling so far about the walk, and she hoped nothing would spoil that.

Liam thought the same, too.

He didn’t think the walk was going to be that…peaceful, considering the way they had been with each other.

“Well, I’m not hoping for too much. So, if you don’t help with that, I won’t be disappointed.” Liam said, and he threw a small smile at Alyssa.

Surprisingly, Alyssa smiled at him back, and it seemed like time stopped because the way their eyes were locked on to one another, it was overwhelming.

“Okay.” She said, while smiling, and Liam smiled back.

“Okay.” Liam replied and he looked away from her.

Silence suddenly started reigning between them, but they were enjoying it. It was peaceful…nice and just… amazing.

They both needed it.

They really did with the issues that they had been facing lately.

“How are you?” Alyssa suddenly stopped and faced him, and she crossed her hands against her chest. She was interested in speaking with him very well and if asking a very awkward question was the way to do that, she was ready to take it.

“Well, it depends. I’m okay now because I’m…here, but whenever I’m not…here, I don’t know.” Liam said, and it didn’t make sense to him with the way he was stuttering.

He wanted to tell her that he felt at peace now that he was with her, but he didn’t know how to tell her, so she wouldn’t get the wrong impression of that.

“I understand. I feel…the same way too.” Alyssa said, and she smiled at him.

Their ‘moment’ was interrupted by Ella’s screams, as both Liam and Alyssa turned their heads to face her.

They saw that Ella was at the pond with Timothy, and Liam instantly looked at Alyssa.

He saw that the smile was no longer on her face and she was looking a bit angry.

“That’s why I came out. Ugh.” Alyssa mumbled under her breath, and she was surprised when Liam called her out on it.

He knew that she wanted to go to the garden for a reason, but he didn’t know that it was because he wanted to spy on Ella and Timothy.

“What?” Alyssa asked Liam when she saw that he was looking a bit angry.

“You didn’t come out because you wanted to enjoy the air? So, you came out to spy on Ella?” Liam asked, and his frown deepened. He couldn’t believe that he was starting to feel good about her, and she did that.

“No, no!” Alyssa said, but Liam wasn’t interested in listening to her any more. He walked away from her and went to touch a bunch of flowers that were growing against a wall. She didn’t know what types of flowers they were, but they were gorgeous.

She started trailing behind him, not knowing what to say again. Likewise, she was feeling bad about how angry he was at her, but she couldn’t help it!

The real truth was that she actually went out to see Ella and try to steal Timothy from her. She really wanted to hear what he was trying to say. She had a feeling it was about Liam and Ella, but she would rather not overthink it and find out that she was mistaken about it later.

“I’m sorry.” She whispered behind him and when he didn’t turn back, she ran to him, and she hugged him from behind.

“I’m truly sorry.” She said again, and Liam pushed her hands away from him. Alyssa went to stand in front of him, and she crossed her hands on her chest, just before she pouted like a big baby.

Liam touched her shoulder, and he called her out in her deception. He started telling her how hurt he was about it, and Alyssa started thinking about it, wondering if it was more than what actually just happened.

It seemed like he was overreacting, but she wasn’t interested in calling him out on that.

“I really came out to enjoy the fresh air and to just…be okay.” She told him and blinked him, hoping he would believe her.

She counteracts what he was saying and told him that she truly wanted to spend time outside to clear her head.

Alyssa told him how she felt about how they were walking together and how it made her feel at peace.

Liam rolled his eyes because it wasn’t clear to him why he wasn’t believing her.

Ignoring the eye rolls, she mentioned to him that she was glad about the way he decided to go on the walk with her, and she was about to hug him again when he stopped her.

He squeezed his face at her because he knew that something was wrong. The nice time that she was using to speak to him was too good to be true, and Liam didn’t want to believe it that easily.

The mean words, insults, tears, and everything bad that he did to her, were on his mind and with all that, Alyssa was still talking to him that way? He would rather not accept that.

He felt like she was up to something, but he couldn’t just figure it out.

Alyssa suddenly started talking about how she still misses him and out of surprise, Liam asked her if she’s still in love with him.
