*****Julia's POV***The moment I dropped the call, my heart began to pound heavily in my chest. I never expected that he would really call for me. It was faster than I had expected. Who would have thought that this plan of mine would surely work this way?Alpha Theo wanted us to meet, and I think this is just the perfect chance to carry out my actions. I just cannot wait in a situation like this. I must make the most out of it. ~I walked into the bar where Theo and I were supposed to meet. And just as I arrived, I saw him waiting for me, while tapping his foot anxiously. I paused at the entrance and smiled. Things are only going to become even more interesting from now on. I walked over to where he sat waiting for me. “Hello, Alpha Theo, it's nice to see you here.”“Miss Julia, I'm glad you finally came,” Theo said with a slight smile spreading across his face. “I'm so sorry that I took too long before getting here.”“It's okay, you have nothing to apologize for. After all, I was
****Tihana's POV***I could hardly sleep at the moment. I kept wondering if I overreacted to the whole situation. Maybe I had handled the issue poorly. No matter what, he's still my mate. Though I still don't understand why he had to lie to me but if he had a better explanation for his reasons as to why he kept me in the dark, I'll understand. For some reason, I feel like I should go to him and try to hear him out. At least, if I should be mad at him, I should have a good reason to. I looked at the time on the wall, which was 10: PM already. I can't believe that I chased him away, and he did stay away from me because I told him to. Perhaps I should go to him and bring him back. I really do not want to stay mad at my mate because I hate to be away from him. This was the first time I had been so mad at him and told him to leave. Making up my mind, I opened the door and walked out of the room. Since it was dark now, the pack house became so quiet. I guess the maids and some pack me
*****Tihana's POV***I felt discomfort in my stomach, and so I quickly stood up, only to find myself sitting on Theo's office chair with my head resting on his desk. Goodness! I can't believe I had slept in his study until this very moment. I looked at the time on the wall clock, and it was 8AM. I creased my brow when I noticed that he wasn't here. It can't be that he didn't come home at all last night. If that was the case, what could have happened to him? Why is he not here yet? Panic washed over me again. I quickly stood up from the chair, but suddenly felt my knees go numb. Immediately I sat back on the chair. If I had known I would be sleeping on the chair, I would have laid on the sofa rather than the chair. I need to go out to find him. I need to know the progress of his search. But first, I tried his number again, but it still wasn't going through. While I was still in his office, Dan suddenly rushed into the office. “Luna, you are here? Don't tell me you slept here?”“
****Julia's POV***As I got home, I was all smiles. Last night was the best night I've ever had. I'm sure things will change from now on. When we finally arrived at the Red Moon Pack, I caught sight of Tihana. Knowing she was going to come over to meet us, I quickly went over to the back seat and helped Theo out of the car since he was still weak. That must have hurt her, seeing how she retreated inside. “I'm sorry, Tihana, you seem to be a good friend, but I think things will not be the same from now on,” I whispered to myself as I walked into my room. I stood in front of the mirror and smiled. This is just the beginning of our encounter. I think things will get even better and better from now on. I'll make sure of it for sure. By the time I'm done, Theo will only be mine. I walked into the bathroom and washed myself up, still with a smile. While all this was going on, I heard my mom's voice. “Love, are you in the bathroom?”“Yes, mom, I'll be done soon.”I quickly washed up and
***Alpha Theo's POV***“Last night was so terrible that I didn't even want to think about it. I have blamed myself ever since I woke up this morning. I wanted to ask Tihana if she was worried about me, but then she was mad at me already. I doubt she ever wants to hear from me at this point. It was better not to say anything that might spike up her anger. I had plenty of files to review, and it was getting rather difficult to do so because my head still aches due to what I had passed through yesterday. “Theo, you need to focus. This is not the time to be lazy about now. There's too much at stake as of the moment. Just then I heard a sharp knock on the door. The homely and familiar scent made me raise my gaze up to the door at once. “Please come in, dad.”My dad walked in briskly. “Son, what's going on?”I quickly raised my gaze up to my dad, wondering what he was talking about. “What do you mean?”“Well, it so happens that there's this rumor which is spreading like wildfire about
*****Tihana's POV***“Honey, why do I sense that there's something you are not telling me?”“I'm okay, aunt. I just… I just feel all stuffy and want a breath of fresh air.”“Huh? Though there are fancy places where you could actually get a breath of fresh air in the pack house.”“I thought so as well, but I rather feel suffocated in the pack house,” I stated, while pressing my lips together and trying not to cry out. “Oh dear, why does it seem like you're passing through a lot?”“That's because…” I trailed off, not knowing what to say at that very moment. I felt so frustrated that I couldn't even speak. My aunt suddenly came beside me and pulled my head on her chest, so I could lean on her. It was at that moment I knew I wouldn't be able to hold my tears anymore. I burst into tears at that very moment.“My poor child, who could have hurt you this much? Who dared to make you cry? Talk to me, Tihana, I want to know.”I sniffled back my tears and wiped off the tears that stuck to my ch
***Alpha Theo's POV***I waited patiently for my mate. I can't leave without her. I know for a fact that she's mad at me, and there's no way I'm going to let this drag on. I have to apologize for last night and if she asks me what happened… I trailed off, not knowing what to say. Fuck! Why did I not think of this before coming here? There's a huge possibility that she would surely ask me what happened last night. Since it had become a rumor in the pack, she would surely have heard of it, just like she heard of what Adam had done. After waiting for two hours, Tihana's mom came over to meet me. “Alpha Theo, Luna is still very much asleep. According to what she had told me earlier, she lacked sleep these past few days and the reason she needed to take a nap here.”“It is all my fault. I'm the reason she couldn't get all the sleep she could have gotten.”“Oh, come on, Alpha. This is not the time to pass self blame. Why don't you go back to the pack? Once Luna is awake, I'll inform you
*****Tihanas POV***As soon as I got to the pack, Abigail rushed over to meet me. “Thank goodness you are here, Luna.”“Abigail, what's going on?” I asked, surprised. “It's the Alpha.”“The Alpha? What happened to him?”“Nothing actually happened to him, Luna. Just that he's in the kitchen.”Immediately I went wide in great shock. “In the kitchen. What is he doing there?”“Well, that should be explained by him clearly. For now, he asked me to take you to him.”“Huh?” I muttered as Abigail Immediately led the way. I followed her quietly to the dinning hall and to my utmost shock, I saw Theo preparing the table while putting on an apron. I was confused that I had to pause to look at him intently. He must have noticed my presence as he quickly looked in my direction with a smile on his face.“Hi, my love. He quickly left what he was doing and walked over to meet me.”“I ought to have been done before your arrival. Silly me.”I blinked, while staring at him without a word.”“Please, c
