Chapter 4:

Hayden's POV

"Uhn, tell me, Hayden," Alexander asked, his other hand holding up my chin.

His lust ridden gaze lingered on my lips as he spoke.

"Your presence alone is a turn on, let alone the way you jiggle your bum and coquettishly reveal your thighs."

Alexander breathed deeply.

"Then the way you cover me with your maddening scent. Hemsworth, don't tell me they aren't intentional?" He sighed, in his bass voice, his jaw locked and a smirk tugging at the side his lips.

His hooded eyes locked onto mine, as if asking me to admit to his accusations.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about, Alexander." The words dripped out of my mouth before I could stop them. His eye twitched at the mention of his name.

"You don't know, yet you say my name teasingly." The Alpha chuckled, his laugh low and rich.

I felt like a prey that had been cornered by a predator.

The way he carefully assessed my face, his hands that held my waist and his deep blue lust-clouded eyes that stared into mine - they were all enough to tell me that something big was about to go down.

The sexual tension was intense.

Just then, Alexander shut his eyes and heaved a profound sigh, as if gathering the strength to control himself.

"I'm so....sorry. Carry on," he apologized, rubbing his forehead. The man then walked towards the wardrobe, continuing on with his former activity.

"Good night, Hayden," he bid, an edge of regret and shame in his voice.

With that, he exited the room, clutching a bed sheet and a blanket to his side.

I stood, wordlessly, my brain trying to process what the fuck just happened.

Hayden's POV

I tossed and turned throughout that night, unable to sleep, my mind running wild with the words Alexander had said earlier.

Needless to say that I got no sleep and as my luck would have it, I had to attend a compulsory 8 AM lecture in the morning.

I yawned as I strutted out of the school gates, the evening sun kissing my face.

My day was a series of boring lectures and short naps. My stomach grumbled, signalling that I had to feed it something.

Hayden's POV

The restaurant's door opened with a ding as I stepped into it, clutching the strap of my backpack. I settled into a chair and a waiter walked up to my table.

"I'd like the *****," I requested, holding out the menu card as the waiter scribbled something on a note in her hand.

"Alright!" She smiled, and walked to the kitchen.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the adulterous young master of the Hemsworth family," a familiar voice said and a hand gripped the back of my chair.

"Fancy seeing you here." The owner of the voice walked to face me, a nefarious smile smeared onto their face. I felt my stomach twist at the sight of my sister's ex fiancé, Chris.

Still holding the back of my seat, he leaned in so close to me that his warm alcohol scented breath hit my face as he stared into my eyes.

"How are you doing Hayden?" The Alpha asked.

"Oh, I heard you got kicked out. That must have been so awful." His face wore a sympathetic expression, but his voice was laced with mockery.

"If only you had opened your little legs.........."

He stood straight and sat on a chair across me.

"..................and moaned while I fucked you like the little slut you are."

All the while, my face held no emotions and that irritated him.

The irritation gnawed at him greatly.

It was evident in the way he spoke degradingly, in desperate attempts to watch my mask of aloofness crack.

"Oh, really?" I asked, smirking, my icy demeanor unfaltering.

His jaw locked at my words. His patience had clearly wore thin. "Would you look at this fuck hole!!" Chris shouted, standing, his arm swinging to hit me.

However, before he could, he was stopped. An all too familiar hand gripped his wrist, its veins bulging through its skin.

"Alexander!" I gasped when my eyes landed on him.

The veins on his neck stood angry, his teeth gritted and his brows furrowed, enraged. His eyes burned into Chris' face, as if he were imagining him on fire.

The Alexander standing before me was far from the sweet version I'd met and it struck a fear within me.

"Just what were you about to do?" The words dripped out of his mouth like thunder, shaking fear into the ordinary Alpha.

"W..why do you wanna know?" Chris asked, his tone sharp, as if challenging Alexander, but the caution in his voice betrayed him.

He was weak and he knew!

By now the attention of other customers in the restaurant had shifted towards us.

"A... Alexander, stop. People are looking."

My words worked like a charm to lessen the anger that was brewing in him, but his face remained unchanged.

"Take care of him!" The Alpha ordered, tossing Chris to a bunch of suited men who dragged away the man like the trash he was.

Alexander's hand gripped my wrist, as he walked out of the restaurant, dragging me behind him, his eyes fixed forward.

"Alexander....." I called, but the Alpha stared, wordlessly, into nothingness, his jaw locked and his eyes burning with immense rage.

"Get in the car, Hayden," he finally rumbled, his tone brooking no room for refusal.

I nervously occupied the back seat and he occupied the driver's seat. The engine roared to life and the vehicle pulled onto the road, disappearing among other cars.

Alexander's POV

"He seduced his sister's fiancé, Chris Washburn, at their engagement party and took him to bed to have his way with the man," the Beta secretary, Elaine narrated.

"Really? I'm sure that's not all there is to the story though." I smiled, shooting a knowing glance at her.

"Accurate, sir."

"Mr Hemsworth was drugged and taken to a hotel room where the Alpha undressed him........."

My eye twitched at the word "undressed".

"........But, before he could continue, Mr Hemsworth's sister, parents and some of the party guests barged into the room."

"Thank God," I sighed, subconsciously.

I did not how I would react if I heard that the bastard violated Hayden.

"Hayden Hemsworth was then kicked out by his father."

"Find Chris, I need pay him a visit," I ordered and the secretary bowed, exiting the office.

I was not the type to nosy in people's businesses, but when I do show interest, my employees know I'm either pissed or about to be.

"Come here, Matthew," I ordered, glancing at the Washburn's location on my monitor, and the beta bodyguard at the door walked up to my desk.

"Round up some men, we're going somewhere ."

Alexander's POV

I stomped through the doors of the restaurant he was said to be in, my bodyguards following closely behind me, their eyes scanning around for the punk.

My eyes soon landed on Hayden's familiar body frame and I walked curiously to where he was seated across a man.

"Would you look at this fuck hole!" The man suddenly shouted, springing to his feet. He swung his arm to hit the smaller man.

Just what did this fucker think he was doing!

Hayden's POV

The drive to Alexander's house was awkward. The car was silent, only the monotonous humming of its engine to be heard.

"You have to understand, Alexander, I wasn't doing anything with the man," I explained, tears streaming down my cheeks.

The whole world could doubt me if it wanted to, but not Alexander. It would break me.

"I... I don't have anything to do with him.......I"

"I believe you, Hayden." His words struck my heated mind like a wave of cool water and my eyes widened with surprise.

My own parents didn't believe me, my sister didn't either and there was this man who I've been staying with only for a few days telling me he trusted me when he barely knew me.

"Hayden, I know this sounds crazy, but I can bet with my life that you'd never, in a million years, do such a thing as adultery," the Alpha said, his hands gripping the steering wheel and his eyes fixed on the road.

"H...how! You barely know me. My family did not accept me, why should you?" I whimpered, wiping the tears that were pouring down my face uncontrollably.

The car pulled onto Alexander's property and packed. Click! Thud! The Alpha spilled out of the driver's seat and walked to where I was seated.

The door beside me swung open and the Alpha leaned towards me.

"It's seems too far fetched," I sniffled, looking up at him.

That enraged Alpha from before had now disappeared, leaving behind a man who wore a sympathetic expression on his face, staring lovingly at me.

He lifted me up, my legs around his waist, startling me and I wrapped my hands around his neck instinctively.

"Wh....what are you doing?" I stuttered, my tear stained face flushing with red.

"You're far too stressed to walk." He said, strutting up to the front door.

"Hayden," he called out, his face inches from mine and I gasped at the intimate proximity.

"I'm not upset because of you, but because of that fucker........"

My eyes widened at the curse word. Who knew a man like Alexander could speak in such manner!

"........The way he thought he could walk all over you and the fact that you let him do so. It evoked a fiery anger within me."

I watched in awe as he spoke, every word laced with care and affection.

"I know this sounds hasty but I'd like to get closer to........" My lips suddenly met his, in a kiss, cutting him off.

I pulled away, looking at his dilated eyes and his familiar dazed expression.

"Me too," I smiled, my hands cupping his face.

"Thank God," he sighed, nuzzling his face against my hands.

"Thank you, Hayden," he said, and kissed me back, his warm tongue muscling through my mouth, as he strolled through the front door and climbed up the stairs.

That was when I knew Alexander loved tongue kissing.
