| watched as Ben followed his gaze, but a dangerous knowing
smile crossed his lips. “Ah! | see what you like now. My mistake.”
He held his hands out, calling the attention of the crowd. “Our
Alpha here appears to like them innocent. These vixens are too
much for him.” Then he turned to Aleena. “Aleena dear, get me
Ella.”
What was going on? My eyes followed after Aleena as she
deposited the items in her hand on the nearest table and rushed
out of the room. Id barely taken a breath when the doors
opened again.
The girl that walked in front of Aleena looked like a frightened
cat. She wore a flowy white dress that accentuated her figure.
She looked to be in her early twenties, with long brown hair
that fell down her back easily. Her eyes were wide, and green,
with an innocent, untainted look in them.
| almost laughed. Ben was about to worsen the humiliation he'd
already endured tonight. It was obvious he'd barely thought
this ‘trap’ through. If he knew better, he would end this ruse
right now. Alexander would see through it right away. But Ben’
s best friend was the drink in his hand, and we all know alcohol
never gives great advice.

The girl walked forward, practically shaking like a leaf as she approached Alexander. “Hi...” she began with a
shaky voice.
“My nis Ella. It's nice to meet you.”

To his credit, Alexander didn’t glare at her. Instead, he smiled
politely, and then moved to sit on the one-seater to my right. He didn’t respond.

“Ella, why don’t you grab a seat? We'll join you soon,” Ben said.
The girl nodded and settled into the couch opposite Alexander's.
It was filled with men drinking and laughing. But the moment
she sat down, they turned their attention to her.
“Looking for a good time, are you?”
“I can take you up to my room. Make you scream all night.”
“Hungry? | have something you can put in your mouth.”
Ella shrieked and jumped to her feet. She grabbed Aleena’s
shoulders, using her as a human shield against the vultures. But
her eyes kept darting to Alexander, as if expecting him to
reprimand the men.
| didn’t blher. Alexander was the only decent man in this
entire room.
“Cone,” | heard Aleena say to Ella. “Go. He's not going to
bite. Just walk up to him and strike up a conversation.”

Ella swallowed. She eyed Alexander again. And then she began
to move.

I could see the fear on Ella’s face, Yve could smell it even. But it
appeared Aleena’s encouragement was enough for her to put all
that aside.
Ella staggered forward, almost stumbling on the white dress
that was too long for her. She didn’t seem the least bit confident,
but she kept moving, and eventually she stopped in front of
him.
She wrung her hands together, shifting from foot to foot. Then,
she cleared her throat and said, “Um, Alpha Alexander? Could
I... could | maybe sit next to you?”
| watched Ben's face light up with satisfaction from his position
behind her, his matchmaking schplaying out exactly as he’
d planned. The others, including Aleena and every man in the
room all turned to watch with obvious anticipation.
| knew what they were expecting. Because of how he'd treated
Aleena earlier, they expected him to view Ella as a damsel in
distress and ‘save’ her. But, they were about to be sorely
disappointed.
Alexander's cold, intense gaze suddenly met hers, forcing her to

A hush fell over the room. The words weren't just cold, but

whole spectrum of emotions; confusion, embarrassment, then a
deep, mortified red blush crept up her neck and onto her
cheeks.
Ben’s mouth fell open. Everything he planned was slowly
crumbling around him. One would think this man would give
up. Wasn't he sick of being publicly

“She asked if she could sit.” He gestured at the lack of space
beside him. “I gave her an option.”
Everyone was staring into space awkwardly. No one looked at
Alexander directly, or Ella for that matter. The poor girl looked
like she was seconds away from bursting into tears.
Something finally clicked into place.
