Approaching the Arrogant Alpha novel Chapter 7

Spicy, chilli, ripe and intense.

Now I must be crazy.

It couldn't be Alpha Baden. I had wished his arrival to kill him time and time again... but he wouldn't have come now... why would he have come now?

I walk to the door, feeling numb in preparation for my full blown fury; the calm before the storm.

I grab the doorknob, I open the door... and I come face to face with the one and only Alpha Baden. He is wearing a black suit for a party, his brown wavy hair to his shoulders, it's slicked back neatly... and he is holding a single daisy.

It looked like he picked it from the side of a weed.

"I'm sorry," Baden speaks and I stare at him without expression, while wearing my, ironically, daisy patterned flannelette pyjamas. After a minute's silence whereby I simply stare at him without expression, he repeats himself, "...did you hear me, Maia?" Baden asks quietly, "I said I'm sorry. Can I come in?"

I continue to stand, my nose slowly scrunching up - and then I burst into a fit of three sneezes. They are so intense, embarrassingly loud and high pitched, but they consume me and when I finish on the third sneeze, I see the tiniest hint of a little smile, curling at the corner of his lips.

I was too furious to know in my moment of raging emotions, that it was a tiny show of honest adoration. Instead, in this moment, I consider it just another mocking gesture.

I lose it.

I close my eyes and I breathe in my wolf. I don't care that my pyjamas will be shredded. I slowly smile as my wolf pounces forth and consumes my soul; changing me physically next. I shrink, contort and then I'm furry, medium to small sized and snarling with all my teeth.

I admit, the top of my wolf's head, is equal to Baden's knee, but I was beyond feeling shameful at this point. I'm about to latch onto his leg, when Alpha Baden suddenly forces his way into my room, walking towards me as he slams the door shut and he starts to rip off his blazer and shirt.

"I see how it is!" Baden growls... and as he strips, it is the only thing that makes me hesitate. When I see the rippling abdominal muscles and ridiculously perfect muscle tone I had imagined underneath those clothes since I found out we were mates... it gives him just enough time to intercept me before I pounce.
