Chapter 86
There were different sort of noises aroundbut it felt like I couldn’t hear any of it because of the awkwardness
that Surrounded myself and Christie in the kitchen.
The maid had only spoken two words tosince the beginning of the day and I couldn't tell why. She didn’t look
like the was upset withbut maybe her special ability was hiding her emotions.
Christie was my best friend, my only friend if | was being truthful to myself and the fact that she wasn't talking
tobothereda lot. In fact, she wasn’t even looking in my direction at all. Only pretending to concentrate
on the vegetables in front of her.
| knew she was pretending because they were all properly diced but she refused to pack them up. Sighing
heavily. | inched closer to her.
“I think those vegetables are properly diced Christie, you don’t have to completely murder them.” | said, using
her words. from once upon a time.

The smile that danced on the maid's lips, broke a little of the ice and it madesmile a little too.
“What's the problem? Why have you been ignoringall morning?” | asked and she sighed heavily turning in
my direction for the first tthat day.
“Are you ready to tellwhat happened last night or are we just going to continue pretending like the Alpha
wasn't standing behind you and you didn’t go up to his room afterwards?” She asked and | bristled in my spot,
shrugging my
shoulders.
“What do you mean?” | asked stupidly. | knew exactly what she meant but | did not exactly have an answer to it
so the best route was feigning ignorance,
Christie finally dropped the knife in her hands and turned to facecompletely and for the first tsince | met
the maid, | saw anger dance within her eyes.
“Do not takefor a fool Freya. | understand if you don’t want to tellabout this. | understand if you want to
keep a part of your life private but don’t respond tolike you're talking to fool and | don’t know what I'm
talking about Christie said.
I sighed heavily, feeling terrible that | offended the maid.
“I honestly don’t know what to say Christie.” | whispered truthfully.
“Well you can start from tellingwhat exactly is going on between you and the Alpha. Is that the reason Jessy
has been sleeping in my room for a while now and you're always up so early in the morning and acting weird”
She finished folding her arms in front of her and although the maid was not much taller or bigger than me, in the
moment she looked intimidating and threatening. | ran a hand through my face and sighed once more.
There was no need denying any of it or trying to cup with an excuse, it would only prolong things and could
make her angrier, which | really did not want
“Well, I don’t think I can explain it but I've been spending stwith the Alpha.””
“Okay... so that means you're in a relationship with him?”

Chapter 86
“No, not that, I'm not exactly in a relationship with the Alpha. In fact, it’s a little complicated asthe moment and
I'm still trying to figure it out myself.”
“Do you love him?”
| had opened my mouth to answer this question but | shut it again when | realized that | couldnt exactly answer
the question.
Was | in love the Alpha? I liked him. A lot. But | couldn't be sure | was in love with him, maybe because | had
never been in love with anyone.
But wasn’t that the point of love? It cto ‘one and consumed them, whether or not they knew what it was or
how to identify it.
“1-1 don’t know.” | finally whispered and Christie pulledinto a hug.
The feeling of the maids arms aroundwas blissful and I just enjoyed her scent around me. Talking about the
Alpha with someone else other than Jessy felt relieving. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest.
