The next morning, Ophelia headed to the supermarket to get some things. A lot had been happening in her life and she so much needed that space. Not to talk about her business going down the drain because of her inability to sustain it and also stick with Ethan.

She thought about her plan as she rode past the highway. She never wanted things to get this obvious, she just wanted to take things from below but for every damn second and minute that kept passing by, she felt that she was losing Ethan to Clara who wasn't even trying as hard as her to win him and this was making her angry beyond words.

She sighed softly and ran her hand across her hair as she flashback to what had happened that day he asked her out. She had always seen Ethan as an older brother to get ever since she was young but then when she reached the age of maturity, she discovered that those feelings he had were not that of neutrality anymore; they were something else and that made her happy.

    Clara finally arrived at Ethan's office, she was replying to every greeting directed her way by the workers. Well, they weren't surprised to see her as they had their suspicions that she was very important to the boss. The rumors about what transpired between Ethan and Ophelia a few weeks back had spread so people were a bit curious about the relationship that this strange girl shared with their boss. A few of them dared to click her pictures as they believed that it would be a good story for the bloggers who were ready to pay for it.Clara knocked on the door before entering. She met Ophelia standing very close to Ethan and the both of them looked at her. She smiled and waved. "Hello." "Thank goodness, you're here. I was wondering what was keeping you that long."

    Ethan and Clara left the station. The atmosphere was warm as Clara was in deep thought. Ethan would glance at her numerous times just to make sure that she was fine. "Are you okay?" He asked her. "Yes, I am. Thank you." She responded immediately. "Don't you have any questions you might want to ask or did she say something that made you unhappy?" He questioned her again. "Not really. It's just about my dad. He never told me any of this, I was not even aware. I agree that we didn't have the best relationship when he was conscious but then I am his daughter, he was in grave danger just because of his human needs, like…I am confused, doesn't he see me as someone he can talk with?" Clara asked, her voice shaking as she replied to him. "It's not that he doesn't see you as someone he can talk with. Look, I don't know your father well enough to decide if he likes you or not because multiple times, I have seen parents that dislike their kids for one reason or another but I need you to con

    A FEW DAYS LATER. "What about this?" Agnes asked as she showed Clara the fabric that she had chosen. They were on a shopping spree because Olive had to chase them out. Clara suggested they come here as she would be able to embark on her fashion designing again.She looked at the fabric closely but then let it go as she didn't like the color. "The color isn't attractive enough. Let's go for the sparkling one." She suggested. "Thank you." Agnes smiled. This showed how Clara was good at color choosing. The two ladies continued talking as they went to the cashier for payment. "I can't wait to see your design." Agnes squealed. They finished paying and came out. Clara looked ahead for a cab but there was no one in sight. "I don't understand. You're twenty already, above the legal age to drive a car. Why aren't you driving one?" Agnes complained and Clara snapped her fingers against Agnes's forehead. "Ouch, that's unfair when I am speaking the truth. Doesn't Ethan love you?

    Ethan left for the meeting with Clara. It felt as if she was in another world of Ethan because of the changes she saw in him. He turned on the engine and zoomed off but not at a high speed. Clara was anxious and eager to be there. She was thinking a lot about what could be contained in the meeting, and how people would react to her presence. She was happy that at least, he considered taking her along. Did this mean that he was being open to her? "What am I expected to do? Like…I am confused and it's my first time…so, uhm…" She was stammering. Ethan looked at her briefly before focusing his eyes on the road. "You don't have to worry. Just introduce yourself when needed and sit wherever you want. Listen to the conversation and let me know if you have any contribution." Ethan answered and she nodded. "Got it."Apart from that, she made up her mind to support him since he decided to trust her along with this. "Have we been getting attacks from the rogues yet?" Clara questione

    A man looked around where he was before walking towards a car that was parked at a desolate place. He was wearing a mask to conceal his identity and when he got to the car, he knocked on it. The person inside opened the door for him to enter and he did.When he had entered, he closed the door and removed the mask. "Good day, ma'am." Ophelia's face came into view. She nodded. She was wearing her sunglasses even when inside the car and her mouth was moving, showing that she was chewing something. "Do you know why I called you here?" She asked him and the man shook his head. "I have no idea." He answered. "Good. I need you to tell me what you know about Clara's movement. You carry her everywhere she goes, right?"The man scratched the back of his neck, "I am sorry, Miss Ophelia but I am not mandated to let you know about that. It's private."Ophelia was stunned and took off her sunglasses, she looked at him furiously. "How is that private, huh! What if I had seen you two o

    It was another new week to be busy and things to go smoothly. There hadn't been problems in the Pack and business so Ethan had time to relax his brain. "What do you think?" Ben asked as he presented the plan in front of Ethan. He gave it one look before nodding. "It's alright, not bad." "So, should we get right on it?" Ben inquired. "Yeah. The building should be fantastic as usual." He responded. "No problem. You look troubled, is there something that you maybe need? "My dad wants to meet Clara's parents and also we talked about her being the white wolf."Ben brought out a wrapped sweet and unwrapped it, he threw it inside his mouth as he stared at his friend. "Yeah, I heard about it once. But why are you so troubled about her being one? It's a blessing, man." Ethan nodded, "Yeah, I know. Dad wants to conduct the Alpha ceremony…" "Which means she is becoming Luna, right? Have you told her yet?" Ben asked eagerly. "No, and she isn't becoming anybody's Luna,"

    Clara was sitting inside a cafe with a cup of milk in front of her. It was evening and the weather was cool, this was the type of weather that she preferred. Not sunny and not storming, just mild. To add to how lovely it was, the owner of the Cafe was playing a smooth romantic song and she couldn't help but think about how Ethan had made her life seem good. The song that was playing belonged to Ed Sheeran and she couldn't help but hum the tune along as she subconsciously started imagining herself dancing to it with Ethan. When she realized how her thoughts were slowly drifting away from him, she shook her head to distance them from her brain.She took a sip from her milk and looked out the glass wall as it was transparent to see those leaving and coming. Everyone minded their business in City A, maybe that was why it was quite different here than where she came from. It's been a full six months that she had been here, if she had counted from day one then she would have probably wonder

    Ethan settled down as far as he could from Ophelia and he had as many abled people beside him to probably stop him from strangling her to death. There were Clara, Ben, Lucille, and some other abled men for this short mission.The elders were allowed to start talking while Ethan kept shut because it was more advisable to do so. He wasn't in the right state of mind. "We received a letter on your behalf from this young man…" a woman pointed at Jackson while speaking to Ophelia. *Who claimed to be your mate? How true is this?" She asked her.Ophelia blinked, her heart was still racing, all of a sudden this apparent situation of hers opened the door for more headaches, worries, high blood pressure, and whatever one could feel and think about at the point of death. "Yes…yes…he is my mate." "He is human," Lucille said and locked eyes with Ophelia meaningfully. "Yes." She answered with a whisper. "Do you really want to apologize or you just had him do that as a fake? You've

    "What do you think is going to happen now? Will he accept it? It's been days." Ben asked as he put Sofia to sleep.Lucille was dusting off imaginary dirt off her clothes and then looked at her husband after he mentioned that. "You didn't know?" "Know what?" "Luna has already sent a letter back to them but I think the question now is will Ophelia come or not?" She answered.Ben sighed, "I just don't even know my stand in all of these. Will everything go well for our good? Ethan doesn't seem like he is in a good mood to want to welcome anybody. He has been yelling at everyone at the company." He rubbed his hair.Lucille sighed and put down the big bear toy that she was holding. She went to meet him and wrapped his arms around her waist making him place his head on her tummy. "I know how badly you want to help me. Everyone is as confused as you are so don't hurt yourself that much. The pain is gonna be there but that day, Ophelia did recognize her mistakes and was trying

    "At least, you were able to spread positivity through your behavior," Ethan said as he walked into the mansion with the ladies. "And I am proud to have given her a mark that she won't forget in her whole lifetime. I also told her that I am watching her. I can't easily forget what she did. I went almost naked on national TV. If I had been totally naked, I would have been going through therapy now and her apologies wouldn't heal me." Agnes complained and flung herself across the chair.A wolf passed by them carrying Sofia on its back. "Anyway, it is all gone now and she has turned a new leaf. Try being friendly towards her." Clara said as she rubbed her tummy subconsciously. "I will try to but I won't hesitate to bring her down to her knees if she goes insane." She threatened. Her phone rang, popping up Brown's name on the screen. "Hey…yeah, we are back. Alright, I will be there. No, there is no need for that, I can come all by myself. Hmm…see you later." She ended the c

    Jackson stood to look at his mother who seemed to be arranging something in front of the house. He was squeezing his fingers nervously as he watched her. He was totally fidgeting.He didn't know how he was supposed to approach her because her actions were always unexpected. Rihanna sighed for the third time. Living a lonely life was hell and her husband was not around.Was he even worth being called a husband? Her present family was nothing but trash. There was no peace…no love, just her alone. There was nothing to gain as it was an absolute waste of time.She turned around and saw Jackson standing there, staring back at her. She eyed him without much reaction. One was expecting the other to tell him to come but staying off was probably better because anything dangerous could happen. Rihanna spread her hands open suddenly for him and Jackson's eyes widened. There was that rise of hope in his eyes as he looked from his mother to her hands that were opened in front of him. Rihanna ur

    Jackson left the house after taking a day off from the restaurant. He was inside a cab heading to Lydia's father's house for a meeting. According to the plan that Ophelia had devised yesternight, he was to go to her father's place before she did anything dangerous while she promised to work on his mother instead.He didn't know what she was going to say to her but he hoped for the best. As he was going, he felt nervous because he didn't know what else he was going to face on his side.What if he didn't like him anymore and decided to punish him? What if things wouldn't go the way that they planned? He was sure of one thing and that was, Lydia was going to get mad at him. But he was ready to do whatever it took for himself to regain his freedom.The cab dropped him off at the gate and he paid the money before entering. The security man cross-checked diligently as he was supposed to do before letting him in while someone else brought him to the garden where the man was sitting.He was

    "Why can't just people face what they are doing, huh? Why must they be concerned about other people's affairs?" Agnes said with frustration.Lucille came into the sitting room carrying a plate of fruit for Clara to taste. "What happened?" She asked. "Someone went ahead to spread pictures of Luna and Mr. Henry, claiming that the both of them are dating." She answered. "That's absurd," Lucille answered and collected the phone from her hand. She took a look at the contents and rolled her eyes afterward before taking a seat. "Well, to be able to sell, they need to provide enough false news. And telling the tales of Billionaires seems to work just fine for them, I guess." Lucille replied.Clara didn't even mind and only focused on eating her fruits. "I hope the Alpha won't get worried and over-jealous after seeing this. The pictures are quite intimate." Agnes showed Clara. "If he doesn't get jealous, that only proves he doesn't love me. If he considers this to be fake j

    Jackson came back with a glass of drink for her and sat beside Ophelia who was sobbing. By now, she was trying hard to stop herself from crying and eventually started hiccuping so Jackson had to attend to her. "Here. Have some water." He gave her the water and she collected it with trembling hands. "Thank you."Jackson nodded and watched her drink all of it. What could be the problem? Who offended and made her cry? Why was she crying? She had always been that strong face woman that he knew so why was she crying?After a few minutes, she was done drinking the water and gently put down the cup. "May I ask why exactly you are crying?" Jackson asked her again worriedly. Ophelia bit her lips and fumbled with her fingers. Maybe she shouldn't have come here directly but she wasn't in the right state of mind to want to be alone. "I…I"Jackson sighed, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. At least, you came to me when you are unhappy and that's enough to keep me glad bec

    Ethan drove out of the ice cream store that evening, feeling a bit pressured. Beside him was Ben who was going through the things that he had bought for the hundredth time in a row. "Alpha, the flavors are complete and I can assure you that she will love them." He said. "You are not here so how can you say that on her behalf?" Ethan raised his brows and Ben just scoffed. "I can't believe that you are behaving like this now. What happened to the strong Ethan I know? Come to think of it, during my time, you didn't consider me serious. You would mock me all the time and whenever I called to cry out to you for help, you just ignored me and reported me to Lucille for more suffering. Don't you think that it's my time to repay the deeds?" He smiled at Ethan like a maniac and Ethan successfully pulled out the leadership card against him "As your Alpha, you shall obey me." He ordered and Ben's smile slowly dried up as the corner of his lips went downwards. He was displeased at the

    "Remember that you have to put on a good smile and act accordingly to the plan, do you understand?" Lydia instructed through gritted teeth to Jackson. The latter was dressed in a fine suit and his hair was well made so it could give him a more beautiful and innocent look.Currently, they were in Lydia's father's house for an introduction and Jackson felt more nervous than ever because he had not been in such a situation before.His pupils kept moving from one side to the other because of his anxiousness.Then suddenly, they both heard the sound of footsteps coming from the inner part. Unlike any other house with a staircase in sight whenever someone came in, Jackson concluded that they must be in the waiting room because there was no staircase in sight for him even though it was a big building that ought to have one.An aged man then appeared with a lot of electronic gadgets. Some were his phones. He seemed to be in his seventies as most of his hair had turned white. He was wearing
