Chapter 59 - North Pole Turned Into Spring

Richard was sitting on the leather chair, with a hand holding the parchment and the other hand tapping the table in a rhythmic tone. His expressions were grim and his eyes were cold as he continued to look at the parchment. 

The knights standing behind him were in cold sweats as he had not uttered a single word since half an hour. He was just staring at a single piece of paper as if it was his death sentence. The temperature of the room was falling every second as his eyes were turning colder.

With a fierce look, he finally threw the paper away and it fell straight in front of the knights.

"Who would explain me how did this happen?'' His voice was cold and everyone trembled when they heard him. It was like the devil summoning them back to hell.

"My lord. We can not meddle in the affairs of their nation yet. We have to take over the royal family or send a collaboration plan to them or else, we would have no right on how they would run the nation." replied the head of the knights with cold sweat. He tried his best to explain their situation to the man who thought that the whole world would belong to him.

He wanted to scream and tell him that they are not in their empire. But he did not have the courage to speak against him. Just when the words left his mouth, the whole room engulfed in the cold blizzard that would freeze them to death. 

He lamented over accepting to follow his alpha to another empire. He must have known that a man like him could not accept the rule or power of other men except himself.

He closed his eyes and braced his heart as he accepted his fate to die right there. But the death he was waiting for did not arrive.

The north pole suddenly turned into the south. The cold melted and a warm feeling filled the room when the door opened and the bright and rosy face of hazel came into view.

A bright and sunny smile on her face that greets everyone after a snowfall was more than welcome.

The knights were not blind to think that it was their good luck that they were saved! It happened because the alpha did not want to scare his long awaited mate.

They blessed the lady in their hearts as their eyes filled with gratitude that stunned hazel. She did not know why everyone was looking at her as if he was mother Mary.

The man tilted his head and looked at the girl who had entered. her hair was falling till her waist, with small bangs over her forehead. 

Her eyes were watery and her face had that rosy hue. She was looking like an animated doll that had come out of a breathtaking painting. The dress was accentuating her curves. She had a leaner waist and long legs as she took slow steps in. 

Richard forgot that he was going to attack the knights. He looked at her with surprise as he was not expecting her to take the initiative to come and meet him after their heated discussion just a while ago.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was still a bit cold but it was much better than the words he had spit on the knights. They looked at their alpha in surprise, could he speak so softly too? 

Even his eyes that were frozen had started to melt. As if finding the deepest secret of alpha they all felt ecstatic. Now they knew how to tame their wild alpha and save their lives in future. 

They just have to praise the lady for her wisdom and foresightedness!

They all looked at each other with a knowing smile and then bowed their heads and silently left the room before taking their alpha for being the third wheel.

Hazel felt embarrassed as she came unannounced. Fool! She cussed herself in her heart. How could she have thought that a man of his caliber would be free to listen to her! He must have thousands of tasks to look after other than her.

But since she was already here, it would look odd only if she left without saying anything. Right? And who knows if she would be able to collect so much courage again!?

"I hope, i am not disturbing you?" she asked with an awkward laugh as she took small steps towards her.

His cold gaze was observing her every action like a hawk! His eyes kept following the way she bit her lips and then adjusted her hair by tucking her bangs behind her ears. The way she looked at the knights with an embarrassed face and then she tried to smile even when she was feeling the pressure.

She was like a drama where her emotions were clear on her face and he could read her like a book. For a change the cold girl was gone and stood a young girl that was full of feelings in front of him. Yet he could not help but feel that she was still too distant from him, no matter how many steps she took towards him.

"I am here for dinner.'' Hazel did not know what the man was speaking as he did not say a word. Shouldn't he say that 'no hazel! I am not disturbed at all, like a gentleman! Was he trying to scare me with that cold gaze of his! Tsk tsk.. I had seen much worse so you have to work harder on that!'

When he did not say a word, she came forward and pulled a seat and sat there as if it belonged to her only. 

"Do not tell me that you already had your meal." her cheeks puffed up unconsciously as she asked him in an aggrieved tone and finally his lips curled upwards.

"No! I have been waiting for you."
