MATED TO THE STRONGEST ALPHA
Chapter Twenty - Seven

Selene's POV

I waited for Alexa in the garden. She said that there was a problem with her skirt now, so she went back to her dorm. I had free time today after only one lecture; my enrollment was over, and I didn't know where to go. Axel asked me to go out earlier, but I refused him. I wanted to be with his sister. Just kidding, I also wanted to be with him, but I want him to realize that not everything he wanted he could get as fast as he thinks. He called me before, but I didn't answer. As I was alone in the garden looking at the plants, and for a moment, I noticed someone standing at the front of the garden. It was her again, the nerd girl. What was her name again? Alancia?

"Hi." I

"I sat up happily and tried to get closer to her, but she stepped backwards.

"Is there anything wrong? I am not bad; I just want to be friends with you." I tried to reason with her.

Until now, I didn't get why she looked so afraid of me. Was it because she saw me before about those bully men? But I just defended myself. That did not mean that I could do bad things to her. I was not like that. Or could it be that she was scared of me because I am the Lycan king's daughter? I guess that would not be so far off and unusual.

"I said I know." It was a low voice, with a trace of being afraid.

"But why does it seem like you didn't want me to be your friend?"

"Yes, I didn't want you. I just... Please don't ask me about it. This garden is my peaceful place. Please leave and replace your own."

With what attitude she gave me, I wondered why she was like this. Even though she didn't tell me the truth, I know she hid something from me.

"Please?" She begged. Even looking into my eyes, she didn't bother to do it. What was wrong with her?

I bit my lower lip and walked away. I wanted to talk to her about her issue if it was involved in me, but she always pushed me away. For what she did, the urge in me to know the truth was strong.

Who was she?

Why did she look afraid?

As I walked, my phone rang and it was Axel calling me again. I answered it this time. He asked me to meet him at the library; he was something he wanted to give me. After the call, I saw the text from Alexa that she couldn't attend the university right now; her father called her and wanted her to be present at their business meeting. I understood her, so I went to the library where her brother was. I have no choice but to be with Axel.

I looked around, but I didn't see anyone with the same posture as Axel or with a silhouette similar to Axel. He was not here.

"You played a trick on me," I said to myself and turned my back, but I stepped backward when I saw Axel much closer to me. My face even landed on his rock-like chest. "What the hell!" I shouted.

"Please be silent!" I heard someone shout too. I cover my mouth because of it. I stepped outside as Axel laughed at me.

He loved when those things happened to me.

"What the hell!" He copied what I said earlier.

I raised my eyebrows and crossed my arms. "So, you planned that? Are you happy now?"

"No, I didn't expect you to shout that loud at the library. You are a bad student." He pinched my nose.

I rolled my eyes and didn't respond. He may have planned this as his revenge on how I ignored him for a day.

"Where have you been? I was about to search the whole campus. Alexa didn't tell me your exact location, and then you didn't bother to answer my phone." Now he acts like my boyfriend. "In the garden," I answered.

"In the garden?" He paused for a moment as he remembered where that place was. "Ah, in the garden. You met the quiet girl there?"

He got my attention when he mentioned the girl. Does he know that mysterious woman?

"You know her?"

"She was quite famous when it came to academic excellence. You became her friend? Don't tell me, you got her trust."

"She didn't want to talk to me."

Because of what I said, Axel laughed at me again. He was like this. I thought he had changed after he apologized, but it seemed like that was not the case.

"She didn't want anyone to be with her."

He knows the girl, but why didn't she let anyone be her friend? What was her secret that she was afraid to be discovered? I wanted to ask Axel about that girl, but he didn't let me say a word. He grabbed me by my hand, and we walked like we were in a relationship. In a good and healthy relationship.

"What are you doing?" I asked him with a confused look.

He didn't say a word. He just smiles at me. Acting weird again.

"Where are we going?"

"Just come with me. Don't worry about anything."

"That was the reason why I was worried; I am with you."

We laughed together when I said this. This was weird; how come my anger and joy collided in a nice and good combination when I was with him?

Does this mean that I was about to fall in love with this man? I asked myself, knowing fully well that I had already fallen in love with him.

There was nothing I could do. I had already fallen in love with him before I knew it. It was beyond my will, and at this point, I could not think of a way to, unlike him; I had already fallen too hard already.
