Chosen By An Alpha
Chapter 7

Third Person’s POV

Grace saw many people of the society rushing toward John’s house to provide her help and support but it was not required NOW. John had already gone. Some called the ambulance and some informed the police.

As usual, the police were late. She had informed them about everything before she had started shooting the video.

Grace couldn’t sleep that night all she could think was how could any man be so cruel? She had never seen violence in her life. She realized how it felt to be near a mafia for the first time.

She wished to god to never let her see his face ever again in her life but she had no idea that the author (me, obviously!) had planned something against her wish. Hehe!

“We have a problem, Alpha.”, Eric informed to which Zayden raised his brow, signaling him to continue. “Someone had uploaded the video of John’s murder over the internet and it went viral within a small amount of time.” Zayden closed his eyes, keeping a pen on his head. He was thinking about Grace and listening to Eric at the same time.

“Though that video has already been taken down and our team is trying to acknowledge who did this so that we can personally punish the culprit.”, Eric said.

“Hmm. I will deal with that person on my own. I want to admire that person for his guts or say stupidity.”, Zayden said in an even tone. Immediately his eyes started changing color, Eric realized that it would be Allison for sure because no one except her was allowed to mind-link the Alpha directly. Each and every detail would be passed to Zayden through his Beta, Eric.

“So, what was she saying?”, I asked, when Zayden finally looked toward me.

“She wants me to get married the moment I told her about Grace.”, Zayden laughed and shook his head at her childish behavior. “She wants to meet my woman as soon as possible.” Saying this Zayden started smiling and Eric could guess the reason behind his smile.

“Well, she was not wrong about it. You are now 33 years old and next month you are turning 34. I think you should get married soon.”

“Talking about marriage, I had assigned some work to you. What’s the update on that?”, Zayden asked, getting impatient.

“Getting impatient, aren’t we?”, Eric joked and received a glare from Zayden. “I had already assigned that work to Theo. He would be here at any moment.”

“Perfect.”, Zayden flashed a smile toward him.

Since Zayden’s good mood, Eric finally relaxed as he could finally talk with him like a friend. “So, what are you planning to do? I mean how are you planning to win her heart? She seems to be too innocent and comes from a modest family. She will surely start ignoring you if she figures out who you are!”

“She won’t…I won’t let her ignore me.”, Zayden replied sternly.

“Does it mean you will force…force her to be with you?”, Eric asked as there was no other option left and this was his only choice left with him.

“I don’t know. I have to go soft with her, try to court her, and then will propose to her, but…but if she will try to run away from me then she won’t leave any option for me other than forcing her.”

“Will you tell her your real identity?”

“Isn’t it obvious, Eric? If I am planning to spend my whole life with her then sooner or later, I will have to share everything with her.”, Zayden said and heard a soft knock on the door. He saw Theo standing there with a file in his hand.

“What is it?”, He asked rudely because Theo indirectly disturbed him when he was talking about his woman.

“Alpha, I have the file you asked for.”, Theo asked softly. He knew Zayden hates loud or high-pitched voices because it used to make him mad.

“Which file?”, Zayden asked, narrowing his eyes. “I didn’t ask for any file.”

“Alpha, I had asked him to bring Luna’s file.”, Eric answered calmly. He was glad that Grace had a soft tone otherwise he had no idea how Zayden and Grace would have lived their whole life together.

Zayden’s face glowed like a bulb and he immediately became restless. “Then why the f**k you haven’t hand over the file yet?”, He growled. Eric quickly took the file from Theo before he could have given it to Zayden, he snatched it from Eric’s hand. After all, curiosity got the best of him.

“Patience bro, patience.”, Eric teased him.

Zayden ignored his words and opened the file. He smiled when he saw the picture of Grace on the first page. ‘She looked beautiful.’, He thought. It was a picture with a pup in her hand. He reluctantly turned the page. Her mere picture seemed to arrest his mind. He started reading her file.

Name: Grace Felton

Age: 28

DOB: 18th Feb 1993

Address: House No: 642, Block F, XXXX

Father: Harry Felton

Mother: Emily Felton

Sisters: Gia and Gina (already married)

Brother: Blake Felton

Qualification: Bachelor in Culinary arts

Profession: Head Chef in XXXX restaurant (Working Hours: 18 Hours)

“Why does she work for 18 f*****g hours?”, Zayden asked and a frown appeared on his face.

“She is financially tight, Alpha. She is the only one who earns in the family as her father is diagnosed with cancer. She is saving her money for her father’s surgery.”

‘She is having a hard life but not anymore. After all, she has me now!’, He thought and continued to read what else was mentioned about Grace.

**Pure Vegetarian but was an excellent cook of non-vegetarian foods.

**Fond of animals.

**Italian: favorite cuisine.

After reading all the details, Zayden’s mind stuck back to Grace’s address. He waved his hand signaling Theo to leave and then looked toward Eric, who had another file in his hand already.

“What is it in that file?”, He asked while Eric stroked his hair nervously.

“Umm…Alpha, this file has the detail of the person who uploaded your video on the internet.”, Eric replied hesitantly. Zayden forwarded his hand to take that file and returned the file of Grace to Eric. Zayden read the details which were mentioned in that file while Eric read the details of Grace.

“Shit Alpha! Grace is the person who did all this and not to mention her address…”, Eric would have said a little more when Zayden cut him off in between.

“She lied.”, Zayden said in short. One of the things he hated the most was lies. And Grace lied in the first meeting itself. For a moment, he could ignore that because she might have done that for safety purposes. What mattered the most was she had seen them doing those things which he was expecting to share with her calmly.

“It means she saw everything.”, Eric said, getting worried.

“Whatever happened, it happened for good. Explaining to her about my world will have been difficult for me. So, it’s good that she saw and had little courage to stand against me. Now, I don’t have to act in front of her because this time she will be facing half of the real ME.”, He said and a smile formed on his lips by thinking about their next meeting. “Once she will become comfortable with me then I will show her my real identity.”

‘Can’t wait to mark her as MINE.’, Zayden thought.

“Eric, make sure that the streets and road will be vacant when she leaves for her home after her working hours. I want to meet her alone. If she behaves with me just like the previous night then it will be good but if she starts screaming or running away from me then make sure no one touches her in the process to stop her. Also, block all the routes once she comes inside my web so that she can’t run away even if she tries to. I don’t want any failure, Eric. I hope that you get my words clear in your mind.”, Zayden asked seriously.

“Don’t worry, Alpha. I will not disappoint you.”, Eric said and left Zayden’s room to make necessary arrangements which he would require to get his newly assigned work done.

‘I can’t wait to see you, sweetheart.’, He thought and smiled thinking about the endearment which he just gave to Grace.
