Alpha's Nala novel Chapter 2

Legaxy

Time flies so fast, and before I knew it, it was already dark.

Finally, time to go home.

I packed my stuff, got to say my usual goodbye to boss, then changed to my casual outfit and once I dropped the uniform at the uniform shoots going down the laundry room, I exited the hotel.

Since it was a long-distance between home and hotel — I see not a lot of cars or taxis around either and thanks to my overprotective parents, I never learned to drive — I texted my Dad for a ride home.

I waited for a reply but then realized, he works a lot at the Hue Kingdom...

Considering the fact that the Vampire King stays as a hidden character and never leaves his chamber, unless necessary, my Dad fills in most of 'his' work. That means, my poor father has to handle a full-time paperwork duty and has to accept — without thinking twice — endless overtime.

So, to be clear and in short, I don't know if Papa could spare me that extra time.

I sighed at the thought.

Surprisingly, he texted back, and I see a 'YES' on my screen. I got excited and waited for him but once I got picked up by our Black SUV, I was shocked to see my brother, Seth, in the driver's seat.

Seth Deo Dyme, the big brother of mine. He's a vampire, so you can imagine when he got out of the car and flashed his pearly white smile at me that a lot of human girls were already drooling over him.

GREAT!

My cue to do a facepalm...

I'm gonna say this, sternly and for the hundredth time: I'm in no mood of having another set of fake friends asking me how was I doing when in reality, they just want to ask about the whereabouts of Seth — so they could stalk him all day, every day.

And just the fact that my big brother only flashed a smile, resulting in every girl in town to go nuts, literally — I mean, what else am I going to do or say?

'Yup, gotta blame this on the female hormones again, Legaxy. No offense self, but it's the truth. Accept it already.' I thought, or more like a scold, to myself, making me shook my head out of exasperation.

Good thing for me though, I already saw that smile before... What am I saying? I ALWAYS saw that smile since it's the regular gesture Seth does when we greet each other.

But for some odd reason, and unlike those bewitched ladies, I'm acting pretty much 'normal' around that 'smile' and more importantly, around Seth.

Not that my brother is ugly or plain in my eyes — His actually drop-dead gorgeous; brown hair, smooth white skin, pointed nose, masculine body, pretty green eyes, and perfect diamond smile.

It's just that, brother or not, I don't have that instant attraction towards him; It doesn't feel right if you ask me.
