Edna pov

　　The next day. I woke up very early and walked out of the room. Alpha Darrel was still asleep and I tried not to wake him while I was getting up from the bed. When I got out of the room I headed downstairs and just as I thought there was no one in the sitting room.

　　I headed to the swimming pool and removed my jacket leaving only my bikini on. I dived into the water like an expert.

　　I really needed to cool off and swimming was the only thing that crossed my mind because that was our favorite sport. Grandma said she wanted to be a swimmer by profession until she got married to an Alpha, she loved both the Alpha and her swimming, she had to leave one ahd keep the other.

　　She chose her husband over swimming because at the end of the day that was the only best option.

　　When I asked if she regretted her choice. She was quiet and then smiled before nodding her head. That was a reply I never imagined to hear her say.

　　I asked why she had sighed. She said her husband and her were married for just five years before he passed and she had to raise her five kids all by herself.

　　If she had chosen swimming maybe she wouldn't have gone through so much. Listening to her that day made me realize that some choices might be right but at the wrong time. If she had chosen her swimming she might have found the right guy later in the future.

　　I snapped out of my thoughts and went back into the water. I continued swimming until I was beginning to feel like myself again.

　　I got out of the water ahd pot on my robe before walking away.

　　While I was heading upstairs I stopped on my tracks and went back down to get myself a bottle of water. After getting the water I headed back to the room. Alpha Darrel was not In the room, I looked around and he was nowhere around the room.

　　"Where could he be?" I asked myself and sat on the bed tiredly. I sighed and gulped the bottle of water before dropping it on the table.

　　After some minutes Alpha Darrel walked into the room. I didn't know he was downstairs just now because I didn't see him.

　　"Hey." He said to me and sat on the bed. I picked the bottle of water again ahd gulped it then stood up and walked into the bathroom to shower.

　　When I entered the bathroom I could finally breathe well. I can't believe I now feel nervous I front of Alpha Darrel, I don't know why but it just became something I no longer have control over. I decided to focus on my shower and stop letting anything that concerns Alpha Darrel cloud my mind.

　　I turned off the shower ahd stepped out to change my dress. After dressing up I was about to close the wardrobe when something caught my attention. I brought it out and shockingly it was the same flower I gave back to him that day. He still had a way of keeping it in my wardrobe.

　　I remember how I was upset with him because he failed to recognize I didn't want him to leave with the flower, he didn't leave with it after all. Alpha Darrel behavior towards me was beginning to bother me because I couldn't tell if he was being serious or he was just playing.

　　Before we left for my family house he's been very different and started caring about me, but I just couldn't see everything he was doing and think he was doing it for a good cause because I know how he has hurt me in the past and with the way his family dislikes me I don't think he can fall in love with me again.

　　I turned to look at him while holding the flower, he also turned to look at me and our eyes met, we stared at each other for a while before he looked away.

　　"I'm sorry if getting the flower with Amber made you feel some type of way, but I wasn't faking it, I bought it because I wanted to get you a flower." Alpha Darrel explained to me, even though he couldn't raise his head to look at me because he was very shy to do so.

　　"I'm sorry if I was rude earlier, I just find it hard to be calm these past days." I replied to him and dropped the flower back. It was just both of us so there's no way he was telling a lie.

　　While I was dressing, he walked into the bathroom and took his bath. I sat In front of the mirror and that made me feel like I was really back in my room. The mirror was my favorite place in the house because it shows my face and a reflection of how I was feeling inside.

　　I heaved a sigh and applied my cream on my face, while applying it I suddenly remembered what Alpha Darrel just said again. He sounded very genuine and I don't think I should have any reason to doubt his intention for putting the flower in my wardrobe.

　　"He can't be lying with such a face." I muttered trying to convince myself he was serious when he said such thoughtful words earlier, then I suddenly remembered Luna Becky. There's no way she's going to let us live happily, and if her son is in love with me again she will do everything to make sure we stop living with each other.

　　I brought out my hair packer and was about to pack my hair when I suddenly remembered that Alpha Darrel and I are married. He's an only child and because his mom dislikes me she might start asking for a grandchild. I opened my eyes wider than normal and started thinking of the best way to escape such a situation. I cannot tell him I'm Ill because we did a test together and Alpha Darrel knows perfectly that I'm healthy.

　　It felt like I was going crazy with too much analysis.

　　"I need to stop." I muttered to myself and took a deep breath. When I stopped thinking about it I felt like I sighted Luna Becky's face through the mirror and how she was yelling at me with her eyes opened wider than normal looking cold and angry.

　　I felt a touch on my shoulder ahd I screamed at the top of my voice.

　　"Edna, it's me." I heard Alpha Darrel's voice stop screaming immediately. Then I raised my head to look at him. "Why did you scream so loud? Good thing the door is sound proof." Alpha Darrel said to me, I was about to become defensive when I heard a knock on the door.

　　"Edna are you okay?" My dad asked. I turned to look at Darrell.

　　"Yes dad, I just saw a roach in my room." I said to him so that he would not be bothered about me.

　　"You should have called my name, why did you bother touching me?" I said to him angrily and stood up from the chair. Alpha Darrel stared at me while I was leaving, I know he would be wondering if I'm okay.

　　I sat on the bed and turned to look at Alpha Darrell, I don't know why I'm suddenly thinking about this. The thought of asking Alpha Darrel the question was making me sweat.

　　"Have you ever thought about having a child?" I asked him after thinking very well.

　　Alpha Darrel turned to look at me, I'm sure he is wondering why I asked such a question.

　　"It's not a bad idea." He replied to me. I gave him a disgusted look and laid in the bed, we had a funeral to prepare for.

　　******

　　The next morning.

　　I woke up tired and checked the time, I jumped up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom to take my bath. After taking my bath I rushed out, Alpha Darrel was still fast asleep, I had no other choice but to wake him up, I can't believe I am waking up late for my grandma's funeral.

　　I woke him up and he immediately jumped up from the bed. From the way I was rushing he could already tell we were late. We were done dressing and walked out of the room together.

　　It was such a sad moment in the house, the day we all realized we will never see grandma again. Even if it was unbelievable, now we will be able to believe it when we see how she's being buried.

　　I held Amber's hand and we entered the same car. Aunt Erica's eyes were puffy, it looked like she cried herself to sleep last night.

　　We all entered inside different cars and headed to the funeral ground where she will be buried.

　　When we got there, we all got out of our respective cars ahd paid our last respects. Her friends from all over the world were present. Seeing the mind of guests available made her realize how much she has achieved before she died.

　　We were done and most of them were saying their goodbyes to us.

　　"Edna?" One of them asked. Alpha Darrel opened his eyes wider than normal.

　　"Yes." I said to him with a smile on my face as we shook hands.

　　"Charles Jackson." He shook hands with me and I introduced Alpha Darrel to him. With the excitement on Alpha Darrel's face I could already tell Charles has to be an important person.

　　"I look forward to working with you." He said to me and let out a bright smile.
