The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1655

A surge of conflicting emotions coursed through me, leaving me feeling torn.

His unwavering kindness and thoughtful demeanor always emitted a comforting warmth, like a gentle ray of sunshine that enveloped everything in its path.

Despite his genuine intentions, his actions left me feeling unsettled, as if the ground beneath me was constantly shifting.

I held on to the belief that true kindness often came with hidden agendas, a sense of indebtedness lingering in the air.

So, I responded with gratitude and caution, “Mr.

Pierce, your concern is truly appreciated.

Your support has been invaluable to me.

I’m determined to replace a way to repay your kindness.

”

My words were laced with a subtle reminder of boundaries, acknowledging his generosity while maintaining a sense of independence.

The tension between us had been simmering beneath the surface for far too long, stifling and suffocating me.

Finally, I summoned the courage to speak my truth.

Andrew appeared on the verge of saying something, but I preempted him, closing my eyes as a signal that our conversation had come to an end.

“Let’s take a pause from talking.

I could really use a quick nap.

”

Navigating conversations with someone as perceptive as Andrew proved to be emotionally draining.

“Nice one, honey,” Ivy praised, genuinely impressed by my deft maneuvering of the situation, exceeding any of our previous encounters.

“I had no idea you had it in you.

Well played.

”

Grinning, I couldn’t resist teasing her back.

“Well, that’s probably because you conveniently forget half of what goes on.

”

Despite our light banter, a serene silence enveloped us for the rest of the journey, as we drew closer to the convergence point of the two worlds.

“Halt!”

A sharp command suddenly pierced the tranquility.

I snapped my eyes open to replace a line of soldiers barring our path.

Their stern demeanor was a sharp contrast to the peaceful atmosphere we had just left behind.

As my gaze wandered to the nearby tents, curiosity gnawed at me.

When had this area become fortified with troops? It wasn’t like this before, was it?

Catching Andrew’s gaze, I found him equally bewildered, his expression reflecting my own confusion.

We stepped out of the car together, and I approached the leader of the guards, my voice firm but respectful.

“Why are you preventing us from entering? We haven’t done anything wrong.

”

The guard’s expression remained stoic as he replied, “Sorry, but it’s a special time.

No outsiders allowed in the werewolves’ world.

”

He tightened his grip on the gun, his tone serious.

“Stay back! I won’t hesitate to take action if necessary.

”

His demeanor had shifted significantly since our last encounter.

Had something changed among the werewolves to make them wary of outsiders?
