Andrea tapped the Alpha's shoulder, calming him, "It's okay, Lewis. Maybe she's just not used to having other people in your house."
My mate glared at me, "Be nice, Elysian. She is a guest."
"Sure," I said while shrugging.
The three of us started eating, but I felt like a complete outsider at my table. Andrea was there, caring for my Alpha and serving him with such ease and grace that she thought she had always belonged in his world. Every gesture she made seemed perfect. Like she knew how to cater to him in ways I couldn’t.
I sat there, watching them, my heart tightening every moment. I was supposed to be the one by his side, the one he leaned on. But at that moment, it felt like I was my life's intruder.
I cleared my throat, "How long will she stay here?"
"Elysian!" Alpha reprimanded me; I raised an eyebrow, challenging him.
"I am just asking her, Lewis. I mean, Andrea shouldn't stay long at someone else's home. And this Manor is for the Alpha and the Luna. An outsider shouldn't be here."
"That's it!" Alpha stood up angrily and walked towards me. He held me by the arm and pulled, and I obliged. He dragged me out of the dining area. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
