Alpha 241

Max was frozen when he heard me. His brows lifted, but then his eyes filled with smiles.

“What did you just say?”

“I accept your condition.”

He shook his head in denial as if he did not ask me that.

I sighed and lowered my head.

“I will be your girlfriend.”

Max took a brief pause and asked,

“Are you saying that because I pressured you for your brother?”

“No. I thought about it a lot and made the decision to give my life a chance.”

Max kept quiet, which caused me to raise my head to look at him.

However, the moment I raised my head, he pulled me into his embrace.

I was shocked by the sudden closeness. His arms tightly wrapped around me while embracing me.

My hands were frozen in the air. My mind was not processing whether or not to hug him back.

My wolf was not happy that some other wolf was touching me. I closed my eyes tightly and hugged

Max back.

Since I had decided to be with him, I had to fight back my inner wolf and accept him

wholeheartedly.

“I thought you were so stubborn that you would not come to me. But if you had not come today, I

still would have returned to this pack in

a few days.

I broke the hug and looked at him. “What did you mean?”

He looked away from me and rubbed his neck. “Actually, I lied.”

My eyes widened. “What did you just say? You lied?”

His eyes shifted back to my face. As if his eyes were observing me, chuckled at me.

“Did you think of me as a cruel man? I was just trying my luck. I would have come back to treat your

brother anyway.”

I got mad at him. I hit his arm, which caused him to groan.

“How could I forget that my soon–to–be girlfriend is an Alpha?” he said, rubbing his arm.

I laughed as his words eased my anger. He genuinely cared about me and considered returning to

save my brother, even if I had declined his offer.

I noticed that the way he spoke had changed. He no longer sounded professional. Instead, his tone

became more relaxed and soft.

He turned to the men and told them,

“Cancel the checkout process. I am not going anywhere.”

I let out a deep breath of relief. I could not wait to see my brother return to health.

“Max,” I muttered.

“Don’t tell me you have changed your mind after listening to me.”

I shook my head. “I know the value of words. I will never go backward after taking a step forward.”

Max smiled at me. He opened the car’s back door for me and said,

ay’s vehh together”

I thought for a moment before getting into the car. I looked at him

and asked,

“Can you please treat Eric as well?”

After hearing me, Max’s expression changed. “Didn’t he want to marry you?”

1 parted my lips, thinking that he would disagree with helping Eric.

Max, he is not only my brother’s beta but also my family member. He has a mate now. He no longer

has any feelings for me. He almost lost his life for my brother. I can’t let him die.”

I felt terrible for Eric. I had a soft spot for him as my close friend. We had been together for so many

years. How could I watch him die in front of me?

Max took a hold of my hand and replied, “I will help him too, but only for you.”

These physical interactions were unfamiliar to me. I glanced at our hands and thought,

‘Is this man truly here to change my life?”
