"You can have me"
Williams’ POV
What the fuck could that be? I thought as I double checked to make sure there was no one lurking around.
Maybe I was just hallucinating? I thought but I quickly pushed the thought off my mind.
I quietly got back into the room and pulled my clothes off. I slipped into bed next to Cleopatra and wrapped my arms around her warm smooth body. She scooted closer and muttered something inaudible.
Remembering the Alpha King's announcement made me a bit tense. My life is chaotic already, this could be an overkill. At least, he agreed to my request to bring Cleopatra along for the meeting. I mean, how could he not when he had already placed me in a situation I never wanted.
As I drifted back to sleep, the thoughts of having Cleopatra in my arms every night and every morning made me all giddy inside.
I could get used to this. Right?

Cleopatra's POV
I jerked up from bed, my heart pounding in my chest. I looked around anxiously but couldn't find Alpha Williams. Did he go to the meeting already?
I looked at my phone and it was almost 11 in the morning. Fuck!
How did I sleep so well that I didn't notice him leaving? Alpha Kane would kill me. I quickly slipped out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I better hurry up and find him if I don't want to be locked up again.
As soon as I opened the bathroom door, I froze, my breath catching in my throat. Gosh he's so fucking handsome. I could stare at him all day and not get tired.
My gaze dropped and lingered on his dick, tentatively studying it like it was some extraordinary object. I mean…it is extraordinary, I thought, instinctively biting my lips.
“You could have it if you want, you know,” he whispered teasingly, causing my head to jerk right up.
“Huh?” I said absentmindedly.
He wrapped himself with a towel and stepped closer to me. My body tensed up as he stood near me. It must be the steam coming off his body that clouded my mind because why can't I think straight?
Focus Cleopatra. Alpha Williams is the enemy. He deserves to die. He's a sexy mouthwatering hot….stop it Cleopatra! I screamed at myself mentally.
He grabbed my chin and turned my face up towards his. “I said, you could have it all if you want to,” he repeated and I held my breath.
“Um-no, so…I was looking…um for you and I thought you left for the…,” I stopped my blabbering halfway as he leaned in and kissed me. Deeply.
Just when I thought it should get heated, he pulled away. I'm glad he did. I can't and shouldn't feel excited around him. He killed Alex. Just the thought of Alex made me feel guilty and I stepped out of his arms.
“Are you ok?” he asked, his brows furrowed.
“Yeah. Yes. I better go wash up so we can leave together,” I replied hastily and stepped further into the bathroom.
He studied my expression before exiting the bathroom, but not after planting a kiss on my forehead. As soon as he left I shut the door and fell to the ground.
I left horrible. The war within me was overwhelming. How could the presence of the man who killed the closest person I had to a best friend excite me so much?
I wallowed in guilt some more before getting into the bathtub to shower quickly.
‘Get your head back in the game Cleopatra’, I muttered to myself and hurried up with bathing. Not long after, I was out of the bathroom. I dried my body and wrapped myself in a white towel before heading out.
Last thing I need is Alpha Williams’ eyes ravaging my naked body. But he wasn't in the room when I got out.
I quickly changed to an elegant red dress I picked specifically for this mission. If my job is to distract Alpha Williams, then this would do the trick. I put my hair up in a ponytail and applied my signature lipstick with little makeup.
I finished getting ready and took one last look in the mirror. Perfect. I look the part.
Just as I was about to pick up my purse from the vanity table, Alpha Williams opened the door and stepped in. He looked beyond dashing in his black tuxedo.
He walked towards me holding a rose. He looked so…charming. But I knew better than to be fooled by his looks. He is indeed the true definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Does that even make sense?
He looked directly at me as he approached closer and placed the flower in my hands with a smile on his face. I froze, my heart pounding in my chest.
“I thought you might like these,” he said, his voice soft and seductive.
“It's beautiful, Alpha Williams. Thank you,” I replied, trying to sound indifferent.
He came closer, his eyes never leaving mine. He grabbed my waist and pulled me into his arms.
If only he knew how that made me feel. I could tear this expensive looking tux off his body in an instant but I held back.
He gently bit my earlobe and I stifled a moan. I can't give him that satisfaction. Not When I should be focused on my mission. Not when I should be thinking of how to kill him.
He pulled away and looked into my eyes. “I'm glad you like them. Now, are you ready to go?”
I nodded, trying to hide how badly he turned me on just by doing that and how badly I felt because that excited me. That feeling was soon replaced with a strange sense of anticipation as we left the lodge.
This so-called meeting of the Alphas was going to be interesting, to say the least.
