Chapter 24
Chapter 24.
Nelly’s POV.
He stood there, his gaze fixed on me as he clapped his hands together. Suddenly, the room was filled with silence. The tension in the air was so thick, it was suffocating. Then, a knock sounded at the door.
“Come in,” he said without taking his eyes off me.
The door creaked open, and a maid entered, carrying a small box. She set the box on the desk and curtsied before leaving the room. Alpha Kex’s gaze never left me. I stood there, frozen in place, unsure of what to say.
With slow, deliberate movements, he crossed the room and picked up the box. He held it out to me, his eyes boring into mine.
“Take it,” he commanded, his voice firm.
I reached out and took the box from him, my hands trembling. My heart was racing in my chest. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out.
“Open it,” he said, his eyes never leaving mine.
I fumbled with the clasp, my fingers clumsy and uncoordinated. Finally, the clasp gave way and the lid of the box fell open.
Inside the box was a pair of silver slippers, with the name ‘Nelly’ printed on the side in beautiful cursive letters. I gasped, my eyes wide with surprise.
I looked up at Alpha Kex, who was standing in front of me, a smile playing on his lips. His arms were crossed behind his back, his eyes shining with amusement. I couldn’t find the words to express my astonishment.
“Do you like them?” he asked, his voice soft and gentle. I could only nod, still speechless.
I moved to set the box on the table, but before I could, he said, “Wait.” I looked at him, confused and uncertain.
He took the box from my hands and knelt down in front of me. He gently lifted my feet and placed them in the slippers, one by one. I watched him, my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in short, shallow gasps.

His touch was gentle, his gaze filled with warmth. When he was finished, he looked up at me, his eyes meeting mine.
“I noticed your old slippers were torn, so I decided to get you some new ones,” he said, his voice soft and sincere.
“Thank you so much,” I said, unable to keep the smile off my face.

“You are welcome,” he said, returning my smile. He reached up and gently cupped my cheek in his hand, his thumb brushing against my skin.
His touch was electric, sending tingles of warmth coursing through my body. I felt a blush rising on my cheeks.
Just then, the door flew open with a bang, and there stood Emily, her face red with anger. She looked from the box, to my shoes, and finally to me.
I
gave her a sly smile, and her eyes flashed with fury. She stomped into the room, her heels clicking on the floor.
“What is the meaning of this?” she demanded, her voice sharp and accusatory.
I remained silent, letting her stew in her anger. Alpha Kex looked at her, his expression impassive.
Alpha Kex cleared his throat, his gaze still fixed on Emily. “What did I tell you about knocking?” he asked, his voice stern and authoritative.
Emily’s face went pale, and she opened and closed her mouth several times, unable to find the words to reply.
He continued, “What if I was…with Nelly having sex, and you barged in like that?”
The word “sex” hung in the air, making my cheeks flush with embarrassment. I avoided his gaze, staring at the floor.
“I…I wanted to show you something,” she stammered, her hands shaking.
Alpha Kex’s eyes narrowed. “It can’t wait?” he asked, a note of suspicion in his voice.
“I promise it’s important,” she said, her voice quavering. “I promise.”
I sat at the desk, watching the exchange between them. There was no way I was going to insert myself into this conversation.

“I am busy with Nelly,” he said, his voice calm and matter-of-fact. “When I am through, I will come to you.”
There was a long silence, and then the door slammed shut, making us both jump. I smiled inwardly, Emily was having a taste of her medicine.
My gaze met with Alpha Kex, a look of apology in his eyes. “Sorry about that,” he said.
“It’s not your fault,” I said, my voice gentle and reassuring. He walked over to me, his hands resting lightly on my waist.
“Does your back still hurt?” he asked, his expression unreadable.
I shook my head, a small smile playing on my lips. “No, it’s fine,” I replied.
I felt his breath on my face, and a jolt of electricity shot through me: I couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but I could feel the tension between us.
“Tell me something no one knows about you, Nelly,” he said, his voice low and intimate.
I raised my eyebrows, my mind whirling with possibilities. “Why should I tell you?” I asked, my voice playful and challenging.
