Chapter 19: Keep a tab on her
VALENCIA’S POV
"Is everything alright?" Aiden asked me as soon as I plopped back into my chair with a scowl.
Apart from the fact that I just got threatened, a particularly scary alpha, known for his deep-rooted hatred for the rogues, just indirectly told me they would hunt me down if I tried to run away, and most importantly, I knew that every word he said was probably right and he really won’t hesitate to pull out my heart? Yeah. Everything was perfectly fine.
I wanted to say all those words to him but then took a deep breath to calm my raging heart.
"Everything is good. He just wanted to ask me if I was okay with the arrangements and told me that he chose me because I had the worst credits in the class and wanted to help me a little," I said before forcing a smile at him.
Aiden looked at me as if he didn’t believe a word I said. But he didn’t comment on that and just nodded before leaning back, his hand instinctively going behind my chair.
This was one weird habit of his. Sitting with his hand on my chair as if he was trying to protect me from something all the time.
In my initial days, I was almost skeptical about it because my body and my senses were quite sensitive and reactive to everyone’s approach, especially after living in the wild for four months.
However, I soon got accustomed to it.
"After college, are you free this evening? A cafe opened near our college recently. Let’s check their menu," Aiden said casually.
As soon as he ended his sentence, I was about to tell him that I had things to handle because I was planning to move into my lake house, but before I could say anything, Tracy interrupted us.
