It was already late in the night, and Alex was still in the study, making some final touches in preparation for tomorrow's meeting. Looking at the pile of documents on his left side, he took off his specs after placing the last file on top of the bank. He was exhausted after going through all the files.
After Malia collapsed, he transferred most of his work home to keep an eye on her. He had left old man Eliot and Arnold in charge of the office because of his trust in them.
Thanks to his girl being awake, he had to stop by the office the next day to attend a meeting about his business abroad. Alex was shocked at how late it was, checking his watch for the time. Then, stretching his arms over his head to rid himself of the stiffness in his muscles, he decided it was enough for one night.
Alex placed all the documents in his briefcase in preparation for tomorrow, and then he headed out of the study room. He went up the stairs to his room but then decided to check on his family, who were in the guest room.
He quietly opened the door so as not to wake Malia and entered but didn't lock the door behind him. Instead, he leaned against the wall by the door and watched her sleep soundly. Then, as if she had waited for him, she kicked her duvet off her body, and part of it fell to the floor.
The action made Alex blinded by her cuteness, and he smiled, "The Luna did sleep like a baby," He muttered softly as he moved close to her bed. He picked the duvet from the floor and adjusted it to cover her adequately, but she still pushed it away, making him repeat the same action.
Malia became irritated in her sleep, making her pout her lips in annoyance. Alex just sat beside her on the bed and watched all the action like a love-stricken puppy. 'How lovely it would be if he could lay beside her,' he thought.
Malia, whose face was scrunched up due to discomfort, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Alex, who was already looking at her. "Mr. Ford?"
She didn't know whether she was dreaming or hallucinating. "Yes, baby, it's me. Did I wake you? Alex asked softly as he rubbed her hair lovingly.
Malia shook her head no and told him she was feeling hot, making Alex stand up to adjust the room temperature. He came back and squatted beside her bed. "Is the temperature acceptable now? He asked softly, and the girl who was still in a daze just nodded her head.
After getting her answer, Alex got up and covered her once again, and gently left a kiss on her forehead. "Good night, princess. Don't kick the blanket again, ok?" He touched he hair again and switched off the lights in her room. Then, he headed out and closed the door softly.
Back in his room, Alex headed to the bathroom to have his bath. He couldn't be any happier, knowing that a special someone was sleeping next door. Very soon, the shoe would lie in his room and bed.
When Alex came out of the bathroom, a white towel was wrapped around his torso, and he headed to the closet to get something to sleep in. He came out shirtless, wearing joggers only. It wasn't that hot anyway.
Alex was indeed a beautiful sight to behold. Moving from his muscled arms to his firm abs. Not forgetting his beautiful manly face. He was a moving male god with a height that always towered over many. But, Alex wouldn't deny that he was eye candy too. Daniel always reminded him of how he drove women crazy.
Too bad for all the other women, though; only Malia had the exclusive rights to his body. The way Alex looked would have made him feel awkward each time, but the fact that they were wolves made most of the males have well-built bodies and also due to their constant training. Only their height differed slightly.
Alex got into his bed and turned off the bedside lights. He closed his eyes and drifted off to slumber, hoping to dream of his pregnant mate.
"Love," Amber called when she didn't see Daniel beside her when she woke up. She checked the time on her phone, only to see that it was still 6:30 am, and wondered where her mate was.
She got out of bed to go to the bathroom and found him combing his hair in front of the bathroom mirror.
Daniel turned to look at her and smiled. "It's still early, my love; go back to bed" He came to her and kissed her on the lips. "Good morning, baby."
"Good morning, babe. Why are you up so early? You promised to drop me off to work yesterday." Malia was now in a complaining mood. She hated it when he never kept to his words.
Daniel had nothing to say for himself. He planned to wake up early and leave her sleeping, but he underestimated Amber. "Am sorry, my girl, but there is something that I have to do. Some of it is in line with your mission at the restaurant," Daniel tried to explain.
"Does that mean I get to leave the restaurant before the due date?" Amber was already tired of working at the restaurant, especially now that Malia wasn't there and the rude boss. Whenever the Harold man shouted at her, she felt like ripping his head off.
"That is right. So, can I go now? I promise to make it up to you when I return" He pulled her closer and kissed her passionately. "I love you."
Daniel said before leaving the bathroom. Then, when he went out, he smiled in victory. It's always hard to convince her each time he has to go somewhere.
As he drove to 02, Daniel called Alex to inform him about what he was going to do, and the latter sounded down for some reason.
"What is wrong, Alpha? You sound down," Daniel inquired
"I have a meeting with the overseas company, and Chris is the representative. I haven't seen him since that time, so it feels a little weird," Came Alex's voice from the other side
"You know that you would see him even if it isn't for today, right? So, just put on your big-boy boots and go through that meeting like the big boss you are. You are starting to sound like you aren't Alexander Basil Ford.
