THE ALPHA’S LITTLE ROGUE

Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Caden’s POV My eyelids feel like lead as I peel them open slowly. Blinking a few times for my eyes to get adjusted to the pitch- black room, I take in my surroundings and find Alessia asleep on a chair that is placed beside the bed. My brows furrow in confusion. What is she doing in a chair when she’s meant to be in bed with me? The confusion clears when the memories come crashing. I remember the blood, deaths, and cries. I also remember Jude sliding a blade into my chest. Out of reflex, I reach for my chest and let out a whine when moving my arm makes a thousand tiny needles pierce through the skin. Alessia shuffles in her seat and her eyes fall open, scrutinizing the room before they fall on the bed and me. They widen, first in surprise and then in happiness. She leaps from her seat to my side. “You’re awake,” she says, a laugh bubbling out of her as she runs her eyes over my face. “You’re really awake.” She cuddles my face as tears well up in her eyes. The atmosphere is strained with tension and fear. I don’t like it. My relationship with Alessia has never been awkward and it isn’t about to start now. “Who are you?” I ask, making sure to keep a straight face as Alessia’s mouth falls open.

I’m just about to lay the final nail on the cross when her chin wobbles as a tear slides down her cheek. F u c k.

have made me forget who Alessia is to me. Nothing could wipe off my memories of her. Her eyes flash, and her chin straightens. The traces of tears she had in her eyes are completely gone. With a battle cry, she advances towards me, punching me in the shoulder. I groan, lying there on the bed and receiving her attacks. It’s so much better than the awkwardness of earlier. “You scared me s h i t le s s. Heck, you scared everyone sh i t l e s s and you think it’s funny to make a joke like that.” The punches keep coming, though I notice that they aren’t as hard as the ones she throws during our training sessions. She’s mad at me but still taking it easy on me. My heart soars. “1-1 thought you were going to” She puffs air through her mouth, the traces of tears back in her eyes as she clutches the front of the shirt I have on. 1043 330 20 ADC OBR Chapter 128 Unable to bear looking at the pains in fer eyes, I pull her head down, ignoring the protest my body gives.
