The Alphas' Mate novel Chapter 20

Chloe,

The party has started and I can see that everyone is happy, especially Cherry.

I saw Zachary just watching and was thinking deeply, I stare at him but still no response so I approach him.

''You okay there?'' I ask.

''Yeah. I just remembered something but still, I'm okay'' he smiles. I kissed his forehead and I decided to invite him to dance.

''May I have this dance?'' I mumble and wink at him. He hold my hand and lead me at the center.

The song You and Me played and I don't know why I'm blushing.

Later I felt Zachary lean his forehead on mine and he closed his eyes. He sighed heavily and I didn't expect what he was about to say.

''Chloe," he started but he's stuttering "I Love You''

Oh my God, is this true? But, I do not know what to say to him.

"Love, that is not a question for you to answer immediately, I can wait until you are ready and please do remember that I will always love you."

He said calmly and kissed me on the forehead. We finished the song first before leaving. After hours of partying the rest of them now bid their goodbyes that they still need to do some chores.

Cherry then came towards us and now she look so calm.

Zachary and her really have something in common.

''But Luna Chloe, I can't do that. I will just go-'' I didn't let her finish and I glare at her.

''Don't challenge me dear." I say and she laugh softly before she run upstairs. I know she did have some fun.

It's already 10 in the evening and there are some of the pack members just cleaning the last pieces of dirt.

Zachary approached me and smile but his smile was accompanied by sadness and I was surprised by it .

''She really does remind me of Cassie, my long lost sister'' he mumbles. I then pulled him upstairs and we both walk inside our room, I made him sit on the bed and I pulled the little chair and sat in front of him.

''Can you tell me what happened?"

I ask but his tears started to fall out of his eyes and I can see the sadness he have. I pulled him close and hug him.
