The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1743

But catching her distracted look, my resolve melted.

“Are you upset?” I broke the silence and stepped closer to her.

Patiently, I tried to reassure her.

“Look, it’s not that I’m singling out Andrew.

It’s just that I feel he can’t provide the protection you deserve.

I can’t bear the thought of you facing danger.

”

Debra finally turned to face me, her spirits low.

I sighed and embraced her.

“Alright, I

ll try my best to respect Andrew, but please, keep your distance from him.

Remember, I’m the one who stands by your side.

You need to maintain some space from Andrew.

”

Maybe it was my gentler tone, or perhaps she could sense my genuine concern, but her expression visibly softened.

Seeing her mood improve, I couldn’t help but smile and switch the conversation.

“Feeling hungry? What would you like to eat? I can pick something up and bring it over later tonight.

”

Debra shook her head, declining the offer.

“There’s no need.

I’m well cared for at Andrew’s manor.

I’m not lacking anything.

”

I sensed a sense of coldness from her that I disliked.

It felt like there was a wall between us.

Just then, Debra stood up to leave.

Overcome with emotion, I reached out in frustration and pulled her back into my arms.

Before she could react, I cradled the back of her head with one hand and ki*sed her.

The ki*s caught Debra off guard.

She pushed against my chest, trying to break free, but I held on, deepening the ki*s instead.

The ki*s stretched on until she stopped resisting and melted into the embrace, and only then did I let her go reluctantly.

Gazing at her red and swollen lips, I smiled with satisfaction.

I pressed a gentle ki*s to the corner of her forehead and whispered, “Wait for me.

I’ll be back soon.

”

Debra’s eyes fluttered, her expression painted with vulnerability.

Feeling upbeat, I smoothed her disheveled hair before standing to leave.

As I exited the manor, I encountered my bodyguards.

I handed a slip of paper with a suspicious phone number to one of them and instructed, “This number belongs to someone inside the clan leader’s manor We have two suspects-Shirley and Addy.

I want a thorough investigation on them.

”

The bodyguard murmured a response without moving.

His gaze fixed on me oddly.

I furrowed my brows and turned to him, querying, “Aren’t you going? What’s with that look?”

The bodyguard quickly lowered his gaze and muttered, “Alpha, you seem different today.

Your smile—it’s kind of unsettling.

”

Unsettling?

I was merely joyful!

Clearly, this man lacked perception.
