hapter 4 As if sensing my gaze , Latudan looked in my direction and locked eyes with me . His hard , steely gaze giving nothing away a Hestia looked over him to this me . Not being able to stomach how perfect they look together , I turned away and focused my eyes on the ground . We walked up the steps of the porch , my father opening the door for mne while I walked in awkwardly . This was the first time 1 ever stepped inside the Alphas home . Alpha Harrison never really permitted anyone outside his family or high ranks inside . Seeing as the Alpha and Luna lovedl Hestia like a daughter and that she was Landons best friend , she had been here countless thmes before . Go up the stairs and make a right . Youll see the Alphas office . Go in , sit down and dont move until he comes in . I was about to ask him about the whole Alpha title , but he never gave me a chance to ask when he abruptly turned on his heel and walked back out . I swallowed nervously , craning my head to the wooden stairs before approaching it like it was made out of fire . The creaking under my feet each step I took did nothing to calm my nerves . I was scared shitless . Once I reached the top of the stairs , I looked to the right and saw that the first door there led to the Alphas office . If the golden nameplate reading ALPHA HARRISON wasnt an obvious indicator then the large , Nightwake Pack symbol of an arrow shooting through the crescent moon in black ink on the top half of the door just below the nameplate , was . I walked toward it , raised my knuckles to the wood and knocked on the door . A few seconds went by and I didnt get a response . I didnt really expect to seeing as the Alpha was apparently away for business , but I couldnt help but feel my heart beating out of my chest . I decided to wait a few more seconds before warily turning the doorknob and pulling it open . I stuck my head in . Furnished with a large mahogany table dead set in the center with a black leather executive chair , the room was quite spacious but at the same time , bare . Just a few feet from the Alphas desk was a coffee table with four black singular club chairs ; two on each opposite side . I chewed on my lip . A few photos were hung on the walls . I walked by them , taking my time to observe each captured moment . The first one I saw was of a younger version of Alpha Harrison and Luna Allison standing beside one another with smiles stretched across their faces . Luna Allison had her hands full with a baby Landon no older than a few months showcasing a head full of chocolate brown curls and his vibrant green eyes with a toothy grin plastered on his face . I felt a small smile curl at my lips at the sight . I walked further in , seeing Landons milestones framed on the walls . It was all displayed from his first birthday to graduating high school . The smile that stuck on my face fell a little when I saw the most recent additions . Landon stood behind Hestia with an arm around her shoulders . He had a warm smile on his face mirroring the same expression Hestia had . Alpha Harrison and Luna Allison stood beside them looking just as content . I could barely remember when this was taken . If I had to guess , it was probably last year around the same time of the annual Gala . Alphas were expected to bring along their mates and children at the event . Naturally , the Alphas children were permitted to bring their own mates . Landon had asked Hestia to go with him to which she agreed, Chapter 4 I still remember how happy Hestia was . The moment she stepped foot at home , she started freaking out about what to wear and how she was so excited . It was only then that I truly realized just how deep her affection was for him . I was a bit worried . seeing as what the significance of bringing her along to the Gala meant , but nothing in their relationship seemed to change , so I passed it off as just a platonic outing . Probably so he wouldnt be bored the entire night . Now however , I see how wrong I was Selene . I whipped my head around , instantly locking eyes with green hues . Telt the air get knocked out of me just from seeing him stand there . In all his glory , he stood tall with his lean , slightly built My tense from emotion . I straightened up . As awkward and horrible as I felt right now , I knew it was better to at least try to ad somewhat composed instead of acting like a blubbering fool . We need to talk . I could only nod . All sorts of thoughts ran through my mind but not one included the possible chance of rejection Landon sucked in a heavy breath , moving to the side of the door to which Hestia , my mother and father emerged from . My eyes widened . I immediately sought after Landons gaze to silently question him but his focus was on Hestia who slipped her hand in his as she stared at me guiltily . She bit her bottom lip , eyes staring hard into the floor .
