Alpha 225

Everything he said came to mind, one by one.

What made him fall for me? What was it about me that he liked? My life was already out of control. I

did not want to mess it up anymore.

I took a few steps back while shaking my head in denial.

As if he had seen something behind me, Max’s eyes widened in surprise. I was about to turn my

head.

But before that, he hurried over to me. He held me in his arms and turned to the

other side.

I was shocked.

It took a few seconds for me to understand what had just happened.

I was about to be hit by a car, but Max saved me. When I turned my head to look at the car, I

noticed that the driver had turned his head to look at me.

That was not a look to check on me or see if I was okay. Rather than that, it was as if he was trying

to see if he had hit me.

Strange!

Why did he want to hit me intentionally? I might be imagining things.

“Are you okay?”

The sound of Max’s voice caused me to turn my head. When I looked into his eyes, I noticed a hint

of concern. It surprised me.

I realized that we were very close to each other, so I pushed him and moved a step back.

“I’m fine. Thank you,” I said, tugging the hair strands behind my ear.

“Look, Natalia. I did not mean to put you under pressure. I am here in this pack for you. I just want a

chance from you. That’s it.”

I raised my head to look at him.

You said you did not mean to pressure me. But you also stated that it is your condition to save my

brother.”

The expression on his face became gloomy “Of course, it’s my condition. If I don’t set the condition,

will you ever agree to be with me? The woman who did not give

any other men a chance in the last six years, how can I take one from her?”

I ran my fingers through my hair in irritation. “Now you are forcing me.”

He nodded his head in response and turned around.

“Hey! Where are you leaving?” I asked when I saw him getting into his car.

I was afraid he would not help my brother.

He turned his head to me and replied,

“I got your answer. It’s okay. It’s your life. I don’t want to force you.”

“W–What about my brother?”

He averted his gaze from me and started the car. “I have so many other people in my pack waiting

for me, crying for years to save their families. I need to go save them as well.”

My heart started to beat fast. “No, no. You can’t leave. I want my brother to stay alive. Harold said

he doesn’t have much time.‘

But Max did not listen to me. He drove his car away before saying,

“You know my condition. I will leave the pack in two days. Approach me only if you agree with me.”
