Chapter 7 - First Glance

The black sport car stopped at the end of the mountain, and a man on suit stepped out. Seth and Paisley which were on a higher level looked down, with Seth being able to instantly recognize the person while she looked at him with a pickle of curiosity.

"Came quite early?" Seth whispered to himself.

Aiden climbed the mountain swiftly getting to the level where they were. James had already gone to his direction meeting him while Seth also headed there with Paisley tagging along.

"Alpha Aiden". James said as he met with Aiden.

Aiden smiled indifferently as he looked around the mountains at the soldiers who seemed to at ease.

"Did you guys find anything?" He asked.

"Well, yeah. Beta Seth's team caught a man escaping from a cave up on the mountains. We on the other hand caught some odd guys at the foot of the mountain. "

Aiden nodded his head looking satisfied. He looked and saw Seth coming down to him, beside him was a girl who had her hair packed in a ponytail making her beautiful face evident. She was putting on the vest along with Seth who came down which meant she had participated in the investigation.

"Came quite early?" Seth said to him as he came closer to him.

Aiden immediately shifted his attention from her to the ninety percent sarcastic guy in front of him.

"Heard you guys caught the intruders." he commented.

"Yeah, thanks to my brilliant cousin. Hey cousin say hello to the Cold Alpha of our prestigious pack!!"

Seth said with a sarcastic grin on his face as he looked at Paisley.

Paisley ignored his annoying behaviour and looked at the guy before her. He was putting on a suit but his tie was loose giving him an indifferent vibe with his cold handsome face.

"Hello, I'm Paisley, his cousin." She introduced herself as she pointed at Seth.

'Ohh, so they're cousins.' Aiden thought in his head

"You already know who I am so I guess there's no need to introduce myself " he replied her. "Take the intruders to the dungeon, we'll be able to get something out of them possibly" he said to Seth before leaving.

"Ok". Seth nodded as he watched Aiden get into his car before driving off.

"Can we go home now?". Paisley asked.

"The car's parked down. Just get in first and I'll be down in a moment." Seth said before hurrying to find James who had already left to handle the investigation .

Paisley signed as she was about to go down when she remembered she was still putting on the vest. She hissed, since she couldn't afford to climb back to keep it, she decided to leave it in the car for Seth to drop when he could.

She walked down to where the car was. To her surprise, a car was parked down, and the Alpha seemed to be struggling to change the tire which seemed flat.

" You'd have to maintain the tire pressure if you want comfort".

Aiden looked beside him and saw the girl looking at him. He looked at the tire and noticed the tire seemed to lack accurate air pressure.

"Ever replaced a car tire before?" Aiden asked as he yielded to her advice and maintained the tire's air pressure after fixing it in.

"That's a funny question." Paisley replied leaning to the car door with her phone in her hand while she waited for Seth's arrival.

He finished changing the car tire and dusted his hand. He looked at Paisley who was focused on her phone. Her hair was packed revealing her beautiful oval face from his side view. The black woolen sweatshirt covered almost all her fingers only leaving leaving a beautiful view for the tip. The V neck of the sweater with the white collar of the inner shirt protruding highlighted her beautiful fair neck worthy of being painted by famous artist. Her naturally long eyelashes casted a domineering view on her well crafted and sculptured face.

He held his breath for a second, admiring the beauty before his eyes who didn't quite seem to know someone was growing obsessed with her.

"You just arrived right?, you seem quite new and adapting to the surroundings" he asked.

She looked at him withdrawing her focus from the phone.

"Yeah, I arrived only today." she replied him and he nodded making an 'ohh' but his expression didn't change. He just stared at her giving her freaks.

He took his eyes off her after a few minutes.

" I'll be leaving now, do remind your cousin about coming early to the security system for work tomorrow." he said before entering the car.

Paisley nodded and watched as the car started and he drove away after he got in. Soon Seth came down with a tired expression.

"He asked me to inform you about coming to the security system tomorrow." Paisley said without hesitation as he came down.

Seth looked at her with a surprised and curiosity written all over his face.

"Who?" he asked.

Paisley looked at his surprised expression feeling like hitting him in his face about how dumb he could become just within a few minutes of work.

"Your Alpha of course ".

Seth's face change drastically, his expression evident of tiredness and stress like the responsibility of the world was in his hands.

"Hold on a second, clearly you didn't speak with him, when did he tell you this, you're not playing me are you?".

Paisley shaked her head, afraid of having a headache when it came to her cousins laziness and stupidity sometimes.

"We met here few minutes ago, his car had a flat tire and I gave him some advice. Do you understand now?" Paisley said obviously stressed out by his attitude. "I'm getting in now". She said opening the door and entering the car.

Seth seeing her enter the car also got in. He turned on the car engine and drove away heading to the Drake's residence.

In the white Porsche speeding along the road, Seth was filled with curiosity about what else his cousin and his friend had discussed while he was away. He casually stole glaces of Paisley who was focused on her phone with a null expression. He thought about them exchanging phone numbers and chatting but couldn't find any expression on her face.

"What did you guys talk about?" he asked with a relaxed expression hiding his extreme curiosity.

"Not much." Paisley replied knowing fully well who he was referring to but not knowing the reason why he insisted on asking.

Hearing her reply, Seth was amused thinking that they actually talked.

"You didn't gossip about me right." he asked imagining what it would be like if she said anything bad about him.

"Didn't even remember you existed." she replied him while he looked at her in a surprised and defeated look. Knowing he was looking at her and not at the road, she shouted; "the road's driving the car not you idiot ".

Hearing this he turned back his attention to the road. If he could he would ask Aiden about it tomorrow at the security system.
