The Alpha’s Little Rogue

Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Alessia’s POV 品 120 This is the first time that I’ve visited Scarlett ever since she had the baby. I visited her a few times since she moved out of the pack house but have decided to give her some space to recuperate after her delivery. Now, I’m back to sniffing around her beautiful home. And what a beautiful house it is. I still marveled at it when I walked in. “Where is the baby girl?” I ask, giddy with excitement to see the new addition to their family. It’s been a week since the baby’s arrival and I’ve been itching to get my hand on that baby and shower her with hugs and kisses, but like a good friend, I’ve forced myself to stay away and give them some resting time. No more of that. I’m going to be getting my hugs and kisses right now. Scarlett giggles at my excitement. “She’s asleep in her crib upstairs.” I’m moving before she can get another word out but I do hear her footsteps right behind me. Even if I can’t get my hugs and kisses right at the moment, I’m content with just seeing how she looks. I just know that she will be the cutest little baby that I’ve ever since. Not that I’ve seen much but if Alex and Scarlett are her parents then no baby is going to hold a candle to that cutie. I hold my breath as I set my eyes on her. I already knew that she was going to be a diva but dam n, that one f c k i n g beautiful baby. Her eyes fluttered open making me suck in a breath as surprise hit me. She’s heterochromic. Two different colored eyes blink up at me and I find myself smiling as a toothless smile makes its way to her face.

“She’s awake,” Scarlett says, finally catching up with me. “You can pick her up.” Not waiting for her to tell me twice, I pick up the baby out of her crib and cuddle her to my chest. Burying my nose in her hair, I breathe in that scent that every newborn baby seems to possess. Hers is still very prominent and I sigh as it hits me, ignoring the smile on her mother’s face. “What’s her name?” As much as I would love to keep calling her beautiful, it would be nice to know her

name. “Beatrice,” she says, smiling at the baby in my arms as she reaches over to wipe a little drool on the side of her cheeks. She must have had a very nice sleep from the looks of it. I play with Beatrice for a few minutes and like every baby, she soon starts yapping and crying to be fed. 1 hand her over to her mother and excuse myself to let them have their privacy. Walking into their living room, I head over to the couch facing the television and reach for the remote. Turning it on, I surf for any program that will catch my eye and then settle on some cheesy reality TV show. Just as I’m getting into it, Scarlett makes her way down the stairs and joins me on the couch. “Oh, I was following them during my pregnancy.” She sinks onto the couch and we watch the show together until it 14 11:50 Chapter 67 ends. “I pray she doesn’t end up with that pri c k,” I say, turning the television off when the episode is over. “I know right? Brad is so much better than him. Hopefully, she realizes that soon before it will be too last.” She turns in her seat, sitting on her leg and turning on her side to face me. “So what is it?” She inquires, making my brows furrow together. “What is what?” I ask, a little confused at the sudden change in our conversation. “What exactly are we talking about here?” “Why did you come here?” Her eyes widen like she just realized how her words sounded. “Not that I’m saying I don’t appreciate your visits but it’s obvious that there’s something on your mind.” She coc k s her head to the side with a knowing look in her eyes. “I’m guessing that’s one of the reasons why you’re here apart from wanting to see my baby girl.” I sigh, not surprised that she saw through me. “There has been something on my mind, I confess.

She arches a brow, silently encouraging me to go on. “So, you know Veronica and Isiah moved into the pack house for the meantime.” I pause and she nods so I continue. “Yesterday, Veronica cornered me in the kitchen and she said something that has been on my mind ever since.” “What did she say?” She asks, her brows pinching together. 13 I breathe in, feeling the same confusion that I felt the other day. “She said Caden is hers and that I should stay away from him.” Her eyes widen, reflecting the same confusion that I feel. “She really said that?” “Yes, she did.” I nod wildly, hoping she can make sense of the f u c k e d up situation. “Wasn’t her sister Caden’s previous mate?” I ask, trying to wrap my head around everything. She nods silently, still looking dazed. “Did you tell Caden about what happened?” I shake my head frantically. “Why on earth will I do that? I’m not stup i d. Besides, Caden probably wouldn’t even believe me.” I’ll just manage to make everything worse. “I did get some weird vibe from her but I never thought it would be something like this. She stared at me blankly. “I think you should tell Caden about it or at least let me tell Alex what happened?” I’m shaking my head before she’s even done talking. “No, you can’t do that. I don’t want anyone to find out. They’re just going to think that I made it all up.” She opens her mouth but shuts it when she catches the look I give her. I don’t want to involve anyone yet in this. Not until I have some concrete evidence.
