Chapter 183: His woman?

VALENCIA’S POV

"What are you doing here?" Maverick asked me as soon as he entered the room, and I shook my head before stepping down from the balcony railings.

"Just thinking," I smiled at him.

"I hope I am a part of it," he winked at me, sending those familiar butterflies into my heart. I sighed.

"Tomorrow is the alpha’s meet. The alphas would start coming from today’s evening itself. You will be quite busy. Why did you bring me here at this time?" I couldn’t help but ask.

About to drink some water, Maverick placed the glass down and walked to me.

He sighed as if tired of something, his actions confusing me.

He placed my hand over his chest before looking at me as if I should be able to understand his words without him speaking.

"This heart feels happy at the thought of returning home to you," he said.

Heat crept up my neck at his words as the jittery feeling returned, much stronger than before.

He was indeed good with his words.

"Shut up. I have something to confess, but I will do it after the alphas meet, okay?" I asked, and he looked at me before nodding.

He didn’t say much, and his trust in me amazed me. For once, I wasn’t seeing him in a new light.

Anyone is bound to have questions, and with the amount of suspicions he has against me, he was putting his life at risk by being with me.

And I know he was doing that even after knowing everything.

Were his feelings that strong?

"So, when do you want to go shopping?" He asked out of the blue.

Shopping? Right. I needed an appropriate dress for the event. If I was going as the alpha’s partner ...

But Tyler would be there, too. I bit my lips. Was there a way to leave this situation and deny going with him?

I looked at Maverick, who was looking at me casually. Though he wasn’t as expressive, after observing him for so long, I knew he was excited about having a partner for the first time.

I didn’t have the heart to tell him no anymore.

I was a bad person, wasn’t I?

I looked down at my hands, unsure.

’You are not a bad person, Valencia, and don’t you dare call yourself that. But I guess it’s about time you stop being wary of it. You will tell Maverick you are a rogue sooner or later, won’t you?’ Aurora asked me, and I sighed.

She was right. I needed to face this.

"You don’t need to worry about that. Just tell me the color theme if there is any," I said, and he looked up from his phone briefly before tucking my hair behind my ears.

"I insist. You are my partner, and as an alpha, what kind of man would I be if I didn’t take my woman shopping?" He asked.

I smiled at how slickly he called me his woman again, and I wanted to correct him, but I knew it would be useless. So, I just sighed, leaving the matter as it was.

"How about in an hour?" I asked, and he nodded his head.

"I will make time for it accordingly. Do you have something to do, or would you like to accompany me to the security checkups?" Maverick asked me.

Asking a spy if she wanted to accompany him for the security checkups. You weren’t acting too wise, were you, Alpha Maverick? I wanted to ask him but just nodded casually.

I needed to leave this home. Why? Tory said someone was constantly watching me, and I wanted to see who it was.

The only way is to catch him in public because things might go downhill if he saw me alone.

"Let’s go," Maverick held my hand, intertwining his fingers with me, and I licked my bottom lip.

Strangely giddy.

He took me to one of the security spots out of the pack. I was glad he knew I would be uncomfortable with the spots near the pack.

"What about it? The alphas started to arrive already? No. I don’t think there is any need to greet them until they’re older. Show them to the resting space," Maverick said through the call while I looked around at the beautiful setting.

They went out of their way to make this meet memorable for its aesthetic.

It wasn’t all flowery at all, but the simple setting with the environment was incredible.

"Also, ensure every room has a common security guidelines pamphlet," Maverick said, catching my attention.

"Pamphlet?" I asked him, and he nodded his head.

"The guidelines say that after a certain area if the alphas want to enjoy the city, they should do it at their own risk. We can’t provide security to every wandering alpha and jeopardize the security here," Maverick said.

I nodded my head in agreement. That sounded like a plausible solution.

"By the way, how many soldiers are guarding this meeting?" I asked him as I looked at a few women soldiers eyeing me up, making me feel conscious.

What? I wanted to ask them, not liking how they looked at me, but I refrained from doing anything out of the ordinary that might attract unwanted attention.

"Around 253 soldiers around the pack and 300 out of the pack," Maverick said.

I looked at him wide-eyed.

That many? No wonder the council members have been so busy, too. Handling such a large number of soldiers while keeping a lookout for any suspicious activity and the alphas was a tough job.

Thank god I wasn’t involved in any of this.

This reminded me of Dylan saying something about Mason wanting to meet V.

Ha, as if I am going to allow that to happen.

Rolling my eyes, I walked behind Maverick when Shadow walked to us.

"Miss Valencia," he nodded at me, and I nodded back, unsure why he looked at me like that.

He looked at Alpha Maverick, talking to him through the mind-link, and I didn’t like how Maverick turned to look at me, either.

What was going on? Did they catch up on something?

Maverick nodded at Shadow, asking him to leave before he looked at me.

"What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked him, feeling wary.

"The mall we went to for dress shopping has arranged the things. We shall leave now," Maverick said with a sheepish smile.

I glared at him before following him out of the area. I was about to sit in the car when a car stopped by us.

I was facing the other side and only heard the sound, but the moment that familiar scent wafted through my nostrils, I knew who it was.

My body froze in its place for a second.

"Alpha Tyler," Maverick said.

I closed my eyes. Just one day. Can I have just one day without any event?

"Alpha Maverick, I didn’t know I would get to meet you on my way to your place," Tyler said.

I could feel his eyes boring into my head, and it took every ounce of patience inside me not to turn and poke his eyes.

"And who might this lady be?" He asked as if he didn’t smell my presence.

Wait. That was right. He couldn’t smell my scent that strongly; no one could because of my absence from a wolf. Only Alpha Maverick could quickly smell and recognize my scent because of his strong senses.

Ummm... Should I give him a little surprise? I smirked in my head.

Alpha Maverick would introduce him to me either way. Let’s twist the situation.

My cunning mind started working, and I turned to look at Tyler, whose pupils dilated immediately.

I grabbed Maverick’s hand and intertwined our fingers.

Maverick looked at me briefly, not saying anything, though he must’ve had multiple questions.

"My woman," Maverick said, and it was my turn to look at him with wide eyes.

What the hell? I expected him to say something like I was his partner for the alphas’ meet or a good friend, but what was his obsession with the term ’my woman’?

"Your woman?" Tyler asked Maverick, but his gaze was focused on me.

This was my chance to scare Tyler a little and I was going to do it either way.

I could not call my team here to fight because of the high security, and they were all rogues, but I could handle him myself, right?

"His woman," I said, and I could see a storm of emotions in Tyler’s eyes.

"How is that possible?" He asked and I smiled.

"Why can’t it be possible, alpha Tyler? Last time I checked, I was single and ready to mingle. Alpha Maverick is my type and someone any female would like to be with," I smirked, fueling his anger more.

"And last time I checked, you were a ro-" he started but paused, his little pause making me more wary.

Why didn’t he say those words? What was he planning?

"The last time I checked, you were still my woman," Tyler said, and this time, I was definitely left speechless.

He just didn’t...
