Chapter 127 Could You Ask Him To Leave?

Cecilia

No! I couldn’t let myself be enchanted again.

“I should get going. See you Monday,” I said, turning away quickly, desperate to escape the dangerous magnetic pull of Alpha Sebastian.

Summer was definitely peak season for love–brain syndrome, and I was not about to become

another victim.

I hurried a few steps, frantically waving for Harper and the others to follow.

We had nearly reached the gate when Alpha Sebastian’s deep voice called out behind us. “Wait.”

Everyone froze in place.

Alpha Sebastian approached with measured steps, his dark penetrating eyes fixed on me.

“Running into each other in this little village must be fate. I’m just sitting around with nothing to do anyway. Why don’t I join you on your visit to your friend’s house?”

I stared at him, speechless.

Harper and the others looked equally stunned.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Of all the times to be bored…

I desperately hoped he wouldn’t come, but who could stop him? Even Tang, who had just

threatened a massive dog, turned into a compliant puppy around him!

Nicole peered nervously at Alpha Sebastian from the corner of her eye.

She tugged at Harper’s sleeve and whispered, “Is the Alpha coming with us? Does he know about…

our situation?”

The poor girl was clearly intimidated by Alpha Sebastian’s overwhelming presence. His eyes

seemed to see straight through people, dissecting their very souls.

Harper patted her hand reassuringly. “Don’t worry. He doesn’t know anything. He’ll probably just

stay for a little while.”

“But-” Nicole protested weakly.

“If you don’t want him to come, you’re welcome to tell him yourself,” Harper challenged.

Nicole shook her head vigorously. “No, no. It’s fine. He can come.”

Alpha Sebastian’s gaze drifted over to the whispering pair, a knowing half–smile playing on his lips.

He instructed Beta Sawyer to remain at the farmhouse.

“Alpha Sebastian, you’ll come back for dinner, won’t you?” the farmhouse owner called out. “I’ve prepared some excellent food and wine.”

“Of course,” Alpha Sebastian replied smoothly.

Our group of five had somehow become six as we left the yard. Nicole led the way, while Alpha

Sebastian effortlessly glided to my side.

Levan attempted to wedge himself between us, but Harper yanked him back by his ear.

“He’s up to something with Cecilia,” Levan muttered under his breath to his sister.

Harper dramatically patted her brother’s cheek. “Wow, my little genius finally figured it out. Took you long enough.”

Levan’s face fell.

Tang clapped the dejected young man on the shoulder. “Path’s too narrow, kid. Know when you’re

beat.”

Their whispered conversation carried clearly in the quiet lane – Tang wasn’t even trying to be

subtle.

I kept my eyes fixed ahead, pretending not to hear every word.

Then Alpha Sebastian leaned close, his breath warm against my ear. “So who are you rooting for?”

“Rooting for?” I stalled, my mind racing. “In… in what? The annual pumpkin growing contest? I

haven’t seen the entries yet!”

I quickened my pace, putting some much–needed distance between us.

Nicole led us to the last house at the edge of the village–a weathered two–story structure whose

overgrown yard stood in stark contrast to the manicured property we’d just escaped.

“This is my uncle’s place,” she announced, pushing open the creaking gate first.

An elderly woman was sitting on the porch steps, methodically peeling a winter squash with a

knife. She squinted against the sun, her face breaking into a wide, wrinkled smile when she

recognized Nicole. “Well, I’ll be. Is that our Nicole?”

“Hey, Grandma,” Nicole said, her smile softening in a way I hadn’t seen before. “It’s me.”

“What brings you all the way out here? And you’ve brought company!” the old woman exclaimed,

wiping her hands on her apron as she rose.

“Just showing my friends around the countryside,” Nicole explained smoothly. “Thought we’d stop

by.”

“Well, don’t just stand there in the heat! Come on in, all of you,” she insisted, shooing us toward the

door with warm, bustling energy.

They settled around a rustic wooden table with long benches on either side.

By some unspoken agreement, everyone directed Alpha Sebastian to the seat against the wall

facing the doorway–the spot that naturally commanded the room.

When Levan called for Cecilia to sit by him, Alpha Sebastian smoothly intercepted.

“Growing boys need their space,” he said, steering Cecilia firmly toward the bench beside him

instead.

She landed hard on the narrow plank.

Ever had the distinct pleasure of having your backside meet a twelve–centimeter–wide wooden

board? It felt like being whacked with a paddle.

Nicole’s grandmother appeared, laying out a spread of proper hospitality–steaming tea,

homemade candies, fresh berries, and warm scones.

The whole scene gave Cecilia a strange sense of déjà vu, reminding her of that wedding she’d attended with her grandmother years ago, where the bride and groom held court from the seat of

honor…

She rubbed her temple, trying to appear relaxed despite her discomfort.

“These are fresh from the oven – my famous rosemary potato rolls,” the grandmother announced,

placing a woven basket of steaming, herb–speckled bread on the table.

Harper’s eyes lit up. “They smell amazing.”

“Weren’t you just complaining about your stomach?” Cecilia whispered. “Maybe don’t push your

luck.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” Harper sighed, though her eyes remained fixed on the basket.

“Oh, they’re quite gentle on the stomach,” Nicole assured them. “The rosemary is from our garden, and Grandma’s recipe has been in the family for generations.”

To demonstrate, she took one herself, carefully lowering her mask to take a small bite. The warm,
