Chapter 15: Alpha’s Unexpected Offer
Evaline:
The moment we stepped inside the kitchen, I was hit with the familiar scent of herbs, flour, and the lingering warmth of the ovens.
All of the kitchen staff had already retired for the night which left the massive space eerily quiet.
Alpha Kieran finally released my wrist and moved to lean against the counter, watching me expectantly.
I was still pretty much at a loss about what was happening. "You do realize you could just order a servant to make you something, right?"
"Yeah." He replied with that lazy smile still playing on his lips. "But this is more fun."
I hated how my stomach flipped at that. I knew better than to read too much into his words. Also, I was aware of the mistake I just made - I was a servant too.
I didn’t move for a while and stood there while he just kept watching me. His deep green eyes were heavy-lidded, intense in a way that made my breath hitch.
Something was so wrong here... and dangerously so.
I swallowed hard and forced myself to look away. "Fine," I muttered. "But don’t complain if it’s terrible."
His chuckle was low and smooth as he spoke, "I wouldn’t dare."
