While Ophelia was being strangled alive, Clara and Ethan were sitting in front of Johnson, ready to be interviewed. Clara was a bit nervous as she had never faced or even imagined anything like this. She would steal a glance at Ethan but the man's face was poised and he didn't seem to be scared. He was more composed than her.

She was surprised that he wasn't scared.

"So, that son of a bastard rejected you, huh?" Johnson asked after a minute of silence.

"Before he could, I did him the favor. I didn't want to experience it first-hand, especially from him." Clara responded truthfully.

"Continue."

"I met Ethan before the ceremonial night and he offered me the deal to be his chosen mate. I refused at first because I thought I was going to get a good mate so after realizing the Doom was handed over to me by the goddess, I then decided to go for him. He has been the one taking care of me from the start…since six months ago." She explained.

    Johnson was slowly recovering and Clara was happy about it but the problem was that he had been discharged and the old man wanted to go back to City F. She wasn't so happy about this and tried to talk him out of it the next morning as she served his meal. "Dad, I don't think it will be good for you to go back at this moment."Johnson sipped his tea, "I have been discharged for a week now and I do not feel comfortable here. You have a lot of duties to do as a soon-to-be Luna and then your studies. Ethan informed me that the exams are coming up in a few days but you are not reading and this is getting me worried. You are kinda focusing on me rather than on your studies, pack, and Ethan. He isn't complaining though but still…you have to consider that." Clara sighed and sat opposite him. "Dad, I understand you but I just don't feel like departing from you this quickly. We haven't bonded much over time…" She let the rest of her words stray off as she sulked. Her father exhaled deepl

    "Mr. Joseph, you have been blurting nonsensical words for the past fifteen minutes with no one to stop you. You keep on accusing my brother of doing something so disgusting when you are just a newbie in this industry, huh? How proud can you be? You are only wanting to create a scandalous activity for your benefit so your name will rise in the search engine of the world." She blasted him and giggles alongside snorts could be heard from the audience as she paused.Joseph's face turned ugly as he listened to her speak. "I want to say to everyone here that my brother is innocent of what this dummy just said. For the workers who left the company, there are only a few and they give a valid excuse for wanting to do so which we can't stop them. We never fail in paying our workers nor do we use fake products. The one he talked about was from five years ago under the brand name IMMORTAL. We all are aware of this…" "True. Everyone was aware of this company and no one knew that you were

    .Ophelia wanted to eat out with Ethan but the latter was not in the mood as he planned on going home to rest. Johnson was back in City F despite his daughter's refusal to let him go. However, Ethan was able to allow it after much coaxing. "What do you want for your birthday?" Ophelia asked him. "Anything. You have always been surprising me anyways." Ethan responded and Ophelia smiled. "So, you remember?"Ethan glanced at her briefly, "Why won't I? It's almost like your favorite day of the year." He replied. Ophelia smiled bitterly.Deep in her heart, she knew that she was about to cross the boundary and eat the forbidden fruit. "Do you know that the birthday is gonna be grand? I don't want to miss out at all. It is going to be the day for your 'crownship' as the Alpha. I can't wait. Promise me that I will be your first dance." She brought out her pinky finger and pouted. "This is childish." "No, it is not. Just promise me because slowly, you are becoming Clara's. At

    Ben waited for Lucille to climb on the bed so they could retire to sleep. The latter was busy looking for one of her make-up materials. She had misplaced it the other day and saw that it was the right moment to look for it. Ben watched her jump from one spot to another, bend down, put on a confusing look, skeptical, ask him unrelated questions that all he had to do was to question the moon goddess why she had these characteristics. Anyway, it was fascinating for him to watch. Lucille finally found what she was looking for and jumped on the bed finally in a happy state. "I thought it was lost forever." "Lost forever? As if." Ben scoffed and got hit by her playfully. Lucille had a big smile and moved closer to him. Ben kissed her forehead. "That's my Queen." He praised and Lucille chuckled. "So, how are things in the office? Ethan and Clara?" "Not much but I am sincerely hoping that he won't do as decided." "What decision is that?" "He plans on not making Class h

    "Alright, students. Any form of malpractice is not allowed here. If you have anything that can implicate you then I forbid you and advise that you take them out in a few minutes that I am offering you now. 10…9…8…" The invigilator continued his countdown while Clara looked around her unnecessarily.It was time for the University's common entrance and Ethan had insisted on dropping her off. Her mind went back to the kiss he gave her on her forehead as her hand slightly graced the spot. She smiled and blushed a little bit. She still remembered his words to her that morning before he left. "Do your best and leave the rest. Don't stress your brain because I do not want you to run crazy by the time you are done."She smiled again.A young lady sitting beside her was quite astounded to see her smiling at nothing. She tried to look in that direction but there was only Clara's computer so why was she subconsciously smiling at it? She was a bit confused but after taking a second look at

    "Come on, she might have run past this side." A group of young boys, teenagers to be precise, yelled at themselves before running towards the ascertained direction. Not far from that spot, Agnes's head snuck out of its hidden spot like a snake. She was very careful and had to make sure that she wasn't caught. She gasped and hid again when the boys ran out again. They seemed not to have found their prey and one of them was unhappy about it as he groaned loudly. "Like how could she have escaped? This is IMPOSSIBLE! She could be brilliant but it does not mean that she is fast." The boy let out another frustrated sigh. Today was supposed to be a planned-out moment between him and Agnes but the little brat fooled him and managed to escape his clutches. Did she think that she was wise, huh? He was the real boss here that was holding the key while she was the puppet.He waved his hands in another direction and his friends rushed toward that spot. Agnes couldn't calm down because she k

    [BEWARE: SEX SCENE AHEAD]Two men were sitting inside an office with one sipping his wine and the other going through a file. They were in their mid-fifties but were still looking young as usual because of their body cells that were different from that of an ordinary human. "I can't believe that the young girls have started fangirling over Ethan." The first man with a wine spoke. He sipped it again and then looked at his friend. "Sometimes, their posts on social media make me realize that it is indeed his birthday that is coming up." The second replied. "I am impressed that he is doing well." "Oliver won't regret choosing him." "Does he have a choice?" The first man countered and put down the phone. He sat very well and tightened his palms to have a real discussion with his friend. "Do you think that he could be around?" "I am not aware. I also heard from one of the Alphas that he was seen but then it might just be a rumor. No one knows." "If it is indeed true,

He slowly dragged himself to the door and unlocked it. Standing in front of him was Drake, someone that he wasn't expecting.He frowned, however, opened the door wide for him to enter. "Good day, Mr. Johnson." Drake greeted. His eyes ran across the sitting room and he alerted his inner ears to get any sound from within but it was as silent as a graveyard. "Drake, what are you doing here and how may I help you?" Johnson asked him. His character wasn't accommodative at all and Drake was even aware of this. This added to his nervousness. If he had known, he should have come with his father but now that h

    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

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

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.

    "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

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
