Rexton's POV.
Waking up in bed with black sheets, I felt like I didn't sleep well last night. I took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily.
After cleaning myself I went down to the dining room. On the table there was some food and also a glass filled with milk. Not only that, my father and mother were also there.
"Good morning, Dad and Mum." I said, smiling.
"Good morning, my son. Have you not had enough sleep these past few days?" asked Annette -- my mother.
I smiled in response to her question.
"It's obvious that you're not getting enough sleep, look at those puffy bags under your eyes." Lennon said -- my father added.
"Didn't I give you eye cream to keep your face looking handsome and fresh?" Annette said.
"I've been forgetting to wear them lately, Mum."
"Tonight and so on, don't forget again, Rexton."
I nodded my head.
"Oh, how is your relationship with Matilda?" asked Lennon.
"That's fine." I said. "We already have plans to get married next month."
"That's good, I'm also waiting for your wedding before my death."
"Mum." I saw her smile. "Don't say it like that, you will definitely recover."
"But even the best doctor said that I only have about three months to live."
"Don't listen to them, you can definitely live longer and have a long life."
"What Rexton said is true, you shouldn't just believe the doctor's words even though they are the best doctor here." Lennon added.
"Maybe that will happen, but if there's a miracle for me." Annette seems to have resigned herself to what will happen in her life.
When breakfast was finished, I left father and mother who still wanted to chat in the dining room.
Entering the study, I sat down on a chair. I started the computer on the work desk and the first thing I opened was the search engine.
Amelie, I looked for that name. You can see a social media that appears with the name Amelie Chyn, she uses her own profile photo.
"Ah, this is her social media accounts, maybe I can find out something from here." I whispered.
The last upload was on the eleventh, which means about a week ago at nine in the evening. She uploaded photos at a party with his friends that night.
Scrolling all the way to the bottom, I saw a photo that had previously been used as a profile photo. The photo is of her standing in front of a building. There is a caption there that says she feels lucky to have been accepted into the building.
"This means she works in this building." I said quietly.
Rubbing my chin, I felt like I didn't recognize where this building was. The view in the photo felt very foreign to me.
"Come to my room, Luke." I sent a mind link to my beta, who knows he might know the name of the building and where it is located.
While waiting, I noticed a building shaped like a pyramid. Amelie was standing right in front of the building wearing a cream blouse and carrying a black hand bag. Her smile looks very happy, it looks like when this photo was taken she had just been accepted into the building.
"Come in." I said from inside when I heard the sound of the door being knocked twice.
A second later the door pushed inwards revealing a man in a cream colored suit approaching me.
"What did you call me for, Alpha?"
"Do you know where this building is?" I asked, turning the monitor slightly so Luke could see what was displayed on the screen.
"I think I've seen it before," said Luke, he brought his face closer and frowned. "Oh, I remember now. That building was on the outskirts of town near the border, it was only built a few years ago."
"What's the name of the building?"
"Just a moment," said Luke, he took his smartphone and started doing something. "Well, this building belongs to Boss Media Company."
"Uhm, can you send the address details to my smartphone?"
"Uh-huh, sure."
***
Sitting in a cafe, I ordered orange juice on this very hot day. My eyes kept looking at the pyramid-shaped building on the other side, observing who was coming in and out of the building.
"Isn't that one of Amelie's other three friends?" I said softly. "Ah, I'm sure I saw her at the bar that night."
I decided not to leave the room and meet her, it wasn't a good idea. What if she told Amelie that I was here and waiting for her.
I took another sip of the orange juice on the table. A few seconds later I saw someone I had been waiting for.
She wore a short black skirt, a white shirt covered with a fairly bright pink jacket. A smile appeared on my lips instantly.
"Finally ... that's it!"
Coming out of the cafe, I tried to follow her first. It wasn't too difficult to find her again because Amelie was wearing light colored clothes. Moreover, I can also easily recognize the smell which gets stronger the closer I get.
Without saying anything, I immediately took Amelie's hand, took her into a quiet alley with my other hand covering her mouth.
"Don't shout!" I said firmly.
Her eyes widened. "Wh--who are you? Wh--what do you want?"
Behind the black mask I wore, my smile was created. The black hat on my head took off, as did the mask.
Again, Amelie's eyes widened wider than before. It seemed she was very surprised to see me here.
"A--Alpha Rexton?"
My smile widened, I felt happy because she still recognized me and that should be the case forever. She is my mate!
Even now I know her name and she does too after meeting about six days ago at her own house. Again, I can't stop this.
"You still recognize me, Mrs. Pinky?" I smiled teasingly at her.
The distance between me and her was very close, she couldn't go anywhere because my hands were on either side of her body.
I think she is very fanatical about the pink color, even the jacket she is wearing right now is also bright pink. Oh, adorable!
My hand touched her chin, guiding her face to look up slightly so that I could easily feel the sweetness of her lips again.
"Please, no. Don't do this, Alpha Rexton!"
That sentence couldn't make me stop, in fact it made me even more excited. Her wet lips parted, I looked at her face and a second later I was eating those lips again wildly.
"Let me do it or I'll tell everyone if you're my mate."
"No, please, Alpha Rexton. Please let me go, just reject me as your mate. Please."
Amelie's POV. The bright blue sky can be seen from inside my work room. I've finished all the work today and in five minutes it will be time to go home. I've made plans about what I'm going to do when I get home. Of course, I will immediately clean myself, prepare snacks and start watching my favorite drama that I haven't finished watching since yesterday. "Are you finished with your work?" I nodded, then smiled proudly. Meanwhile, at the next work desk, Chasne was still busy with work that had not been completely finished. Her ten fingers danced on the keyboard with her bright brown eyes focused on the monitor screen. Several times she looked at the clock on the wall to make sure it wasn't time to leave work yet. It was clear that she was in a hurry, she didn't want to leave any work to be done tomorrow or maybe today was the deadline. "Huh, finally." She said as she lifted both hands from the object containing letters and numbers. "You managed to finish it?" I asked, taking
Amelie's POV. I try to stay away from him. While he was at the left end of the table, I was at the right end of the center almost to the back. Every now and then I would steal glances at him, not because I was tempted by his good looks but I didn't want him to know that I was here. "Why is he here too, Gwen?" I asked, then took a sip of strawberry juice. "The guests who came were not only my friends, Amelie, but also my parents' business partners." "Wow, your parents' relationship is no joke." Chasne praised. "But I'm a bit lazy, from my father's relationship with them, he forced me to marry a man named Luke. One thing I know is that he is a Beta." "Good offer! If I were you, perhaps I would agree with father's choice." Hailey also spoke. "Unfortunately I can't be like you, Hailey." Gwendolyn took a piece of cake and took a bite. "There's no way I can leave my boyfriend who has accompanied me for five years, even if I meet my mate." I was silent when I heard the words Gwendo
Amelie's POV. All the guests who came enjoyed their time while chatting with people they knew. Several others seemed to enjoy the food and drinks provided. Time doesn't seem to pass quickly and now it's ten o'clock in the evening. Even so, the birthday party wasn't over yet and according to Gwendolyn the birthday party would last until late at night. Gwendolyn sat down next to Chasne, she took a piece of biscuit and ate it. "What's the big problem?" Hailey asked while taking the orange juice on the table. While I was just silent, even before Gwendolyn said that I was already in a big trouble. "That guy at the front end, isn't he the guy we saw at the bar?" Gwendolyn moved her chin to point in the direction she meant. "That's right, I still recognize him very well." Chasne nodded confidently. "I just found out from my father earlier that he is the Alpha of the Yellow Moon Pack." "W--what?!" Chasne and Hailey said almost at the same time. "I already know." I said, trying to
Rexton's POV. Getting out of the black car I was driving, I first opened the car door for Matilda. She looks elegant in a white dress that fits her body perfectly. Matilda put her arm around my left arm, we both walked into a magnificent building. This hall has been decorated very beautifully, lots of balloons, ribbons and other wall decorations, all of which are black and white, just like the dress code that the guests have to wear tonight. "Good afternoon, Alpha Rexton." Someone approached me, I didn't know who is him. The man in a black suit and tie directed Matilda and me to a table at the very front on the far right. There were only two chairs there and it seemed like the table had been prepared for the two of us. "Thank you, Sir." Matilda said kindly. Not long after we both sat down, I saw three people approaching. They consist of one man and two women, I know the man, he is Mr. Jeremy, the father of his daughter's birthday today. The three of them smiled at me and Matil
Rexton's POV. The sound of footsteps could be heard passing through the hallway. In a dark room, Amelie and I stood face to face at a very close distance. I had composed a sentence in my brain, but I could only exhale heavily when I was about to say it. I can't say that, I can't imagine how sad the two wolves are inside each of us. I don't want to hurt her at all. I felt her breath hit my face, maybe vice versa. One thing I hope for, is that someone out there doesn't come into the room that I don't even know what room it is. The sound was getting closer. "Rexton ... where are you?" She looked for me, and it was Matilda's voice. I can recognize it well. "Hhmmpp--" Amelie almost made a sound, but I immediately covered her mouth. "Do you want her to know that we are mates?" Amelie answered by shaking her head, I could see it in the dark even though it was a little faint. "If it's like that, then shut up." The sound of footsteps drifted away. It seems Matilda has already passed
Amelie's POV. Gwendolyn's birthday party was exhausting. Luckily after successfully escaping from Alpha Rexton, he never approached me again. After returning home from the party I immediately fell asleep until the afternoon. I woke up hungry and found Matilda in the dining room who had just woken up from sleep. "It turns out you know Mr. Jeremy?" I frowned, then shook my head. "No." "Didn't you come to her daughter's party last night?" "Oh." I just realized something. "Gwendolyn is my college friend." "Didn't you see I was at the party last night too?" I frowned again, pretending not to understand. "Did you come there too, Matilda?" "Hu-um, I came with Rexton. I sat in the front seat at the very end on the right. You really didn't see me?" "Oh my, I didn't know you were there." "You stupid little sister!" I chuckled at her curse. My hands were busy opening sardines and heating them first before eating. "If I knew you were coming too, maybe I would have asked you to leave
Amelie's POV. "Hey, get up, your leg is blocking the road. This bus passenger is having difficulty walking because of your right leg." I was surprised to hear an old woman's voice as well as clapping her hand on my arm. Both of my eyes opened perfectly immediately. An old woman in a cream-colored knitted cardigan stood in front of me. Her brown eyes stared intently at me. Judging from the expression on her face, she seemed to be waiting for my answer. "Wh--why am I on the bus?" I looked around, making sure I was in a moving vehicle. "Aw, young people nowadays get drunk on the bus." She then continued walking. My eyes looked in the direction the old woman had gone. Her hair had turned white, only a few strands remained black. In her hand was a medium-sized brown hand bag. She walked all the way to the front, then sat in the second seat behind the driver. I looked outside, my eyes suddenly opened wider than usual. This road is too far, I have missed stop number four where I was
Amelie's POV. I took a slice of the pizza on the table, then fed it into my mouth without washing my hands first. Disgusting, that's what, but I don't care how many germs enter my body. The taste of this pizza remains the same, delicious, very delicious. Matilda never makes a mistake when buying food. All the food she bought always tasted delicious. "Friend." She answered simply. I was silent, in my heart I didn't believe her words. Even so, I still nodded my head pretending to believe her words. The smartphone in my sling bag rang, I could hear it even though the sound was soft. Likewise with Matilda, she turned her head slightly towards me, looking out of the corner of her eye. I got up from the chair. "I'm tired, I want to rest." "Clean yourself first, then rest." I just responded with a nod of my head. This not so neat room was still dark, I turned on the light so I could see around. Blankets that haven't been folded anymore, pillows that aren't in their place and bed s
Amelie's POV. Hearing the good news, I immediately ran to the hotel and woke my friend up. I can't wait to see Griffin again soon, I hope he can be rescued easily and is in good condition. "Hailey ... Hailey, wake up. We have to go to the castle now. Alpha Rexton is going to attack where Gloria is tonight. He said we have to wait for his arrival at the castle." "Attack? Tonight? Are you serious, Amelie? You're not dreaming, are you?" I shook my head quickly. "No, I just met Alpha Rexton earlier. Get up, I'll call Andrew and Ben." "Where--where did you meet Alpha Rexton earlier, Amelie?" Hailey still doesn't seem to believe it. Meanwhile I left the hotel room and went to the next room to call Andrew and Ben. I didn't have time to answer his question. My two feet walked quickly. I don't know how many times I pressed the bell until Ben finally opened the door with his pillow face. Just like Hailey, he also looked like he didn't believe it, but I still convinced him. Now the four
Griffin's POV. I don't know how long I've been in this basement. About an hour ago Gloria delivered food which only consisted of one biscuit and a glass of water. I still felt hungry if I only ate that, but Gloria didn't give me any more, she actually threatened me by not giving me any more to eat if I asked for more. This left me with no other choice but to nod and endure my hunger. Besides, this was also my fault for not obeying what she said. My eyes looked forward, to the basement walls which were not neat and were still in the form of dirt. It looks like this basement has never been repaired and continues to be like this or this is a newly built basement, I don't know. Tired of sitting, I lay down. I could only curl up and cry, missing my mother who never came to save me. The sound of the door lock opening again was heard, I saw Gloria descending the stairs while covering her nose. The basement is really dirty and smelly, it's because of my poop. My chained feet meant I could
Rexton's POV. I really didn't expect that Matilda and Levin were mates. Realizing this, it was as if Matilda was pushing me backwards and further away from her. Matilda was still standing in the same place. She looked at me intently. What she said just now was not wrong. I still often think about Amelie and even regret rejecting her. Can Matilda see my attitude clearly? I never realized it. "Yeah, Levin and I are mates." Matilda said after a moment, reassuring me. "S--since when did you know?" "Since the first time I met him after not seeing each other for several years." Matilda answered without hesitation. "I met him at the bus stop when I was going to work." "Why ... why didn't you tell me, Matilda?" Matilda sighed. "Didn't you also tell me that you were mates with Amelie?" Instead of answering, she just threw the question back at me. I was silent at Matilda's question. We were both wrong. If only Matilda had said that she was mate with Levin from the start, maybe I would
Rexton's POV. "Y--you got it too?!" Beta Luke nodded his head so easily. "Y--yes, Alpha Rexton." He reached into his pocket. "Look at this." I complied and received the smartphone from Beta Luke. Previously, my eyes had looked at him for a few moments before I finally looked at the smartphone. On the smartphone I found the same photo as the one I got, even the foreign number who sent it was the same. My forehead furrowed, I was curious about who was actually behind this strange number. How come the foreign phone number knows my cell phone number, Beta Luke and even Mr. Anderson? Is it possible that they didn't just send the photos to me and people related to me too? What if the photo gets spread? What if this photo gets spread? There are many questions present in my mind and they are very disturbing. "Find out about it." I said as I returned the smartphone to Beta Luke who was the owner. "We're going back to the castle now." "Okay, Alpha Rexton." The car drove slowly away from
Rexton's POV. I saw the car in which Amelie and her friends were traveling away from the castle through the window in the work room. The car just passed by until it finally passed the gate and was no longer visible in my sight. I let out a rough breath, Amelie's presence back in my life seemed to be at the right time. At least that's what I'm partnering with now. After I could no longer see the car, I sat down on my work chair. My hands started to open the laptop and re-check the documents that seemed to be needed during the meeting later. A few moments passed and I felt that everything was complete and perfect, nothing was left behind and nothing was missing in the slightest. I really appreciate Beta Luke's performance, which is always satisfying. When I was about to go to get ready, I actually heard the sound of my smartphone beeping, indicating that I had received a short message. Not as usual, this time I was curious about what notifications came into my smartphone. I sat back
Griffin's POV. I took the thin cloth that Gloria said was a blanket, folded it several times and I lay face down on the basement ground. I tried my hand to reach the water droplets so that the cloth in my hand could catch the water droplets. My lips smiled when I saw what I was doing was working. Maybe by waiting a few moments I will get water to wet my throat which is already very dry. "Please speed up the dripping. I'm very thirsty, I want to drink." I said softly while continuing to pay attention to the cloth which was almost completely wet. The cloth was on top of my hand so that it was not directly exposed to the basement soil, only the top of the basement. However, I feel this water is clean enough and I can use it for drinking. Waiting for a few more moments, the cloth in my hand was already wet. Pulling my hand back, the cloth was already very wet and there were even droplets coming from it. I smiled and without waiting long immediately directed the cloth to my mouth. So
Griffin's POV. Gloria got up from her seat and came closer to me. I tried to dodge, but I was cornered and couldn't go anywhere. This left me with no choice but to just rebel through kicks or punches even though I knew it wouldn't have a big effect. Suddenly I felt something penetrate my skin. My body suddenly went limp and my eyes darkened. Like the curtains being slowly closed at night in a room without lights, I couldn't see anything but darkness. I was conscious for a few moments before finally I didn't remember anything anymore. *** My head felt dizzy and I started to open my eyes slowly. One thing I saw when I first opened my eyes was a hanging lamp with an orange light that wasn't burning very brightly. Feeling very unfamiliar with this place, I tried to move and at this moment I found my feet tied with chains. I couldn't go anywhere, the chains gripped my legs very tightly. "Wh--where am I?" I asked quietly, monologuing with myself. "It's like I'm in the basement." My e
Griffin's POV. "Aren't you hungry, Griffin?" Hailey asked while eating snacks. I shook my head. "No, but I feel like drinking milk. Can you make it for me? I can't make it myself because mommy put powdered milk on the top shelf." "Oh, why is that?" "In the past, I often ate powdered milk in secret while it was still on the table, so the milk ran out quickly and my mother scolded me. She said I shouldn't eat powdered milk directly, powdered milk should be brewed with boiling water and drunk." I explained long. With that explanation, Hailey actually chuckled. "Okay, okay, I'll make milk for you, Griffin." She said, then got up from the sofa. I didn't say a word in response to her sentence, I just nodded my head. My throat feels thirsty, that's why I'm uncomfortable talking. Even though I usually always make noise when I'm playing, now I'm always silent. I wanted to drink something sweet and that was milk, it felt like drinking milk this morning wasn't enough for me. Mom is worki
Amelie's POV. Escorted by Beta Luke, we all went to the hotel in question. There are two rooms prepared by Alpha Rexton and each room has twin beds. I went into the room with Hailey while Andrew was with Ben. Maybe I will need Hailey with me longer, that's why I don't want her to be with Ben even though that could happen. Entering the room, I immediately sat on the side of the bed. My eyes looked towards the window which showed a view of the city. It's been five years since I left this city and went to a bigger city not too close. I did everything to be able to forget Alpha Rexton and Matilda easily even though in reality there I met Delvia and Hailey who were the same people I met before going to the big city. I sighed. My thoughts are still on Griffin. From the voice I heard earlier he didn't seem to be in a bad condition. He was even able to speak while the sorcerer was conversing with me. Griffin was very brave to do that, but I felt scared. I hope that the sorcerer doesn't ge
