The Alpha Train (Christina and Sebastian) novel Chapter 180

Chapter 113: Sebastian

Sebastian

I wake earlier than normal and realize that I’m alone in bed. Not only am I alone, the place where Christina should be is cold as if she’s been gone for a while. I’ve gotten used to having her in my bed. I want her here, today, tomorrow, and forever. It’s on the tip of my tongue to tell her I love her every night when we’re together and multiple times a day when she does something that just makes me love her more. But I bite it back. I’ve waited this long. I can wait one more week.

James and I have been keeping track of how many points everyone has so we know that our leaderboard, which has been pretty steady for the past five years, is about to get wrecked by this incredible class. I don’t know if there’s ever been another time in our history when three Alphas from the same class were vying to get their names on the leaderboard.

Because of that, I refuse to distract her with my professions of love. One more week, then I will tell her everything. And then, I’ll have a heart to heart with my son. I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that even if Ryan isn’t okay with me taking another mate, it’s not his decision, it’s mine. Suzanne was my mate, and I’ve made peace with the idea that it’s okay for me to find. happiness again. I’m a different man than I was when she was alive, so it makes sense that the woman I’ve fallen in love with is different than Suzanne was. She’ll always live in my heart, but my heart now belongs to Christina.

I’m not sure why Christina left this morning, but I can’t wait to

see her. Goddess, I had her last night, multiple times just like every night these days, but I still can’t wait to see her smile, touch her, talk to her.

I get out of bed quickly and shower before heading downstairs, expecting to find her there getting her coffee. But she’s not there. It’s the last weekend before finals week, so maybe she’s doing laundry.

“How’s everyone feeling about finals week?” James asks the other Alphas as we grab our breakfast and go sit.

hate taking tests,” Noah says.

“You’ll be fine, young Alpha,” Jo says, mussing his hair as she walks by.

“Should I bother taking the tests? I don’t have enough points to pass this semester,” Logan says.

“Take the tests. It’s good practice for next semester,” I tell him.

I see Christina come in from where she was obviously out for a run. I try to catch her eye, but she avoids me. Instead of coming to sit at our table after getting her food, she goes to sit with the other assistants. It’s not completely out of character, but something is obviously wrong, and it makes something twist inside my stomach. First, she was gone this morning, now she won’t make eye contact.

“Alpha Noah, I’ve spoken to your father. Sylvie and I will be returning home with you. I’d like to get your father to agree to coming to the Academy and that will give him a week to prepare to leave the pack in your capable hands,” James says to him.

“I really do hope he will accept the position. He needs this,” Noah says.

“Then, we’ll make sure he accepts,” James says.

“How are the rest of you feeling about going home?” James asks before looking at Logan and Liam. I know I should be paying attention, but I’m distracted by Christina. She’s forcing a smile as she talks to Charlotte and Haley, something I haven’t seen her do in weeks. What the fuck happened overnight?

I replay last night in my head. It was basically the same as every other night over the past several weeks. We fucked hard, made love, then went to sleep. Did I slip and tell her I love her? I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out if I said something that might have offended her, but I’m not coming up with anything.

As soon as I see her get up to leave, I do the same. I realize I’ve just interrupted a conversation that was going on at the table, but I don’t care at the moment. I need to know what’s going on. James gives me a look. He knows I’m distracted and I’m sure he’s realized who is causing my distraction.

I throw my garbage away and set my tray on the tray table for cleanup before following Christina to the laundry room. She’s just walking out with a basket of clothes. I reach out to take it, but she pulls it away.

“I’ve got it. Thank you, Alpha Sebastian.” It’s like she’s erecting walls right in front of me.

“Sebastian, Christina,” I growl. It’s one thing for her to call me Alpha in the bedroom. That’s playful and teasing. This isn’t. “Do you want to tell me what’s going on? What is this?” I ask her.

I feel someone come up behind us and I step aside, watching her as she uses the opportunity to skirt around me. Mia looks between us as she goes into the laundry room.

“Christina,” I growl, as she continues walking away from me. I catch up to her quickly, but we’re still downstairs where everyone is mostly milling around.

“I’ve decided that I need to focus on my studies this week, Sebastian. I don’t need any distractions. The semester is nearly over, and I need to be ready for finals this week.”

“I can help you…” I begin.

“NO!” she says sharply. “No. Thank you. I’ve got this,” she says, walking past me and up the stairs to her room.

It feels like there isn’t enough oxygen in the room, like I can’t breathe properly.

“What’s going on, Alpha?” Mia asks quietly.

“I don’t know. She won’t talk to me. Everything was fine, but

now…

“She’s got a lot to think about right now, and we all know that she, Ezra, and Tyler are neck and neck for the leaderboard. Maybe she’s just realized that she needs to double down so she can do her best.”

I nod, but I know in my heart that’s not it. Something happened, something caused this switch in her.

I watch her the rest of the day. In class, she actively avoids my gaze as the instructors begin to review what the Alphas have

learned over the semester preparing for finals.

I wait until the end of Communication class which is the last class of the day. When everyone is walking out, I call out to her.

I wait until everyone is gone, James giving me a glare, silently warning me to fix this, before closing the door.
