Sold To The Scarred Alpha

ALPHA XANDER

I hate attending social functions more than anything. No matter how important they claimed it was, I’d rather sit in my room and think about how to progress my pack than sit among those clowns and try to mingle with them.

I’d send Lord Williams to represent me on different occasions, but for some reason, I wanted to come here tonight. I don’t

know it because I haven’t seen everyone in a while, but here we are.

I didn’t miss the way everyone had been staring at Maliya since the moment we arrived but none of them had the nerve to say anything to our faces until Alpha Luxwell showed up.

He was nothing but a power–hungry fool who would do anything for attention, but even he knew where to act up or I wouldn’t hesitate to put him in his place.

“Look who is here!” He grinned as soon as our eyes met. “Alpha Xander? What a pleasant surprise,” he beamed proudly.

One would think he was smiling so brightly because he saw me but we both know that was not the case. The last time we met, he almost lost his neck and now he was a ding as if nothing ever happened.

He was doing it all for attention.

“Alpha Luxwell,” I said coldly,

If anyone were to tell me that you would be coming here today, I’d laugh in their face and tell them that they must have mistaken you for someone else,” he said.

I didn’t miss the way he looked around from the corner of his eyes to see i

one was watching this.

if anyone

He was humiliated publicly the last time, so he was putting on an act now so propel could think we get along

I can read through him like an open book and I wasn’t

t even surprised that he was still the dumb man I used to know.

“I know you are definitely not the type to attend parties like this. Did Alpha Maxwell offer you something?” He tried to hide his remark with a laugh.

We both knew why he said that. Just last week, he sent an invite to a party he was hosting but I didn’t attend, and neither did I send a representative like I’d have done.

He is a nobody. Just because he has the privilege to become the Alpha doesn’t make him important. He needs to learn his place.

“I can change my mind at any time after all, it’s my choice, isn’t it? Whether he offered me something to attend his party or not surely isn’t any of business,” I dismissed the conversation

“True,” he chuckled.

He pretended to just notice that someone was with me, when in fact, he had been watching Maliya since the moment we walked in.

His eyes fell on our arms and I didn’t miss the glint in his eyes as he looked at her. I could already tell that he was planning something dumb in his head, but if he had any self–respect left in him, I expected him to hold back, or I wouldn’t stop with humiliating him alone.

“Who is this beautiful woman?” He looked between Maliya and ine and rolled my eyes. He was always so predictable. I’m guessing she is your ride for tonight, isn’t she?” He grinned.

I have always known you had a good eye, but this one here is exceptional,” he winked, as his eyes roamed her body and he licked his lips from the sight.

I noticed how Maliya shifted uncomfortably from the way he was glaring at her and I began to feel irritated.

I took a step forward, blocking his view from Milaya’s before I like the silence.

“Stare at her like that again and see what I’d do to you,” I said coldly, and a smirk spread across his face.

Twas merely appreciating her beauty,” he chuckled, but I didn’t miss the sly smile on his face.

“The next time you look at her or even show yourself in front of me, I won’t hesitate to cut off your head, I warned.

Tm sorry,” he apologized but his eyes were still fixed on Maliyal

I always avoided parties like this because somehow, they always managed to get on my nerves and tonight was no exception.

I began to feel irritated and wanted to leave already. I could sense Maliya’s fear beside me but I ignored it all.

I’d just greet Alpha Maxwell since I am already here before heading back home.

I noticed the surprised gaze on the guest’s faces as I made my way to Alpha Maxwell but they were the least of my concern. I didn’t come here for them, and I certainly don’t give a fuck about them.

Alpha Maxwell, I greeted him as soon as we reached his side.

His face widened in shock as he turned back to see who it was and he could not hide his smile.

“My goodness, I wasn’t expecting you to show up personally. Thank you for gracing me with your presence,” he said.

“This really means a lot to me. I know how busy you are

“It’s not a problem.”

Just then, Alpha Maxwell looked between Maliya and me and a smile spread across his cheeks.

“When did you get married? How come I didn’t hear anything about it? Don’t tell me you didn’t invite us on purpose!” Alpha Maxwell finished with a surprised look.

“No, I am not married”

Alpha Maxwell looked between Maliya and me again but before he could ask any more questions, I broke the silence.

“Happy Birthday, Alpha Maxwell.”

His face lightened up immediately and a smile spread across his lips.

“This means a lot to me. Thank you.”

“I thought I should drop by and say hi. I should be on my way now, I announced and he refused immediately.

That is not possible. Since you are here already you should enjoy the party. You can’t just leave like that,” he said with a frown.

“I didn’t plan on staying long,” I said and he shook his head.

“Even at that, the party is just getting started. Shouldn’t you at least eat and have fun?”

“Fine,” I agreed and he smiled. I haven’t been to a party in such a long time that I think I have forgotten how to have fun

I stood beside Maliya firmly as I watched everyone do their thing. Alpha Maxwell came to join my table and ordered alcohol.

We took shots to relax, but my attention was fixed on Maliya, I noticed how uncomfortable she was but before I could ask questions, she beat me to it.

“I need to use the restroom,” she whispered and I stood up immediately to leave with her,

“Where are you going?” She seemed a little taken aback and I gave her a look.

“Don’t you need to use the restroom?” I frowned.

“Yes, but I am only going to pee.”

“I never said you wanted to do anything else, I just wanted to make sure you are fine,” I said coldly but I could tell she was still uncomfortable.

“No, I’ll be fine on my own. It is the ladies‘ restroom. Other women would need their privacy too, she argued and I thought about it for a while.

“I’ll make it fast,” she assured me before rushing over to the restroom.

Despite all the small talk Alpha Maxwell was trying to engage me in, I kept my attention fixed on the corridor Maliya had just gone to.

I played with the drink in front of me before taking another shot when Alpha Maxwell came to stand beside me.

Thank you so much for coming here today,” he said with a smile and I nodded.

“It’s nothing.”

“Do you have a moment? I have something that I have been meaning to tell you. Why don’t we talk where there is less noise?” He asked and my eyes went back to the corridor.

As if Alpha Maxwell could tell what I was thinking about, he broke the silence.

“You don’t have to be worried about the woman, nothing will happen to her in here and I’m only going to take a few seconds,” he assured and I nodded.

I guess she would be fine on her own for a couple of minutes.

I followed Alpha Maxwell out as I waited for him to speak up.
