"Why are you giving me that look?"
"I don't know you never fail to surprise me"
"I don't have a plan"
She tactfully omitted the word yet. As if sensing it anyway, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and Alexandra cleared her throat.
"You have to tell me"
Leaning towards him she whispered. "Get some rest. The walls they say have ears"
"As you said" Nathaniel lays down and closed his eyes. Alexandra stared at him, he looked so peaceful as he drift off to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day but she would have to make certain Adam doesn't get what he wanted.
Falling back beside him, she closes her eyes as well as darkness soon takes over her.
The day draws to another crimson-grey day. Nathaniel tapped his finger on the ground continually creating an annoying staccato. He wanted to get out of the Guerrero cell. He wanted to be back to his pack with Alexandra by his side but most importantly he wanted to vindicate her.
The rumour Adam had spread has given his pack the impression that Alexandra was weak and doesn't deserve to be the Luna but she was not weak. She was nothing like Adam rumoured her to be and she never had an affection for him.
If she did, she would have jumped right unto the first opportunity to get rid of him and stay next to Adam but Alexandra didn't do any of that. Instead she didn't give up until she made sure he was alright.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked and he paused.
"Everything here is wrong"
Alexandra grinned. "You have not been held up in a cell before"
"I hold people not the other way"
Alexandra holds his hand. It was irritating having him tapping his hand against the floor.
"You're gonna hurt your self"
"I won't. It helps me calm my nerves. Actually, is the only thing stopping me from reaching across and strangling any of these guards that walks in here"
"I'm here to calm your nerves" Alexandra caresses his hand and Nathaniel smiled.
"Keep doing that"
Alexandra pauses. "You're so cheesy"
"Why did you stop?" Nathaniel frowned
"Because you're so cheesy"
"Only when it comes to you"
"So is me all the time"
"Not always" Nathaniel lied.
Alexandra arched up her brow at him. "Who is it then?"
"Just one person. Only you"
Alexandra blushed. "Why are always so cheesy?"
"When I'm with you I can't help it that's why" He grinned and she help but roll her eyes. She missed doing this, only Nathaniel can make her feel happy and angry at the same time.
"As if you –" Alexandra choked on her words hearing footsteps approaching.
The slow yet calculated steps could only belong to one man and Alexandra hated it was Adam. He couldn't wait to show his face and although she had anticipated for his arrival, was suddenly saddened seeing him standing out side the cell looking at her. His gaze wicked.
"Is time" He said.
Alexandra stood up. "Time for what? Your coronation?"
