I was skeptical the next morning. I intentionally got out of bed late because I don't know if I still have the face to show him after what happened last night.
I shut my eyes and groaned at the memory of last night. I dug my own grave on that one. I regret going down to get some milk. It didn't do anything good to me anyway. I still couldn't sleep. I was awake until five in the morning. What I had was just a simple three-hour nap. And I refused to get out of bed until it was already nine in the morning.
I sighed and lazily dragged my feet downstairs when I heard Jeff's voice.
"What do you mean they trespassed?" he is practically yelling but in a controlled voice. Even from meters away, I can sense that he's angry at whoever is speaking to him on the phone. "What?! Fine. I'll go there later today."
I was watering the plants in the garden to divert my attention because I can't stop thinking about the rejection emails I have received yesterday. I have been bothered about it all night that I only had four hours of sleep.Jeff texted me this morning that he couldn't go home yet which was good because I still don't know how I could look at him in the eyes after our conversation over the phone.I sighed hard as I stared at the plants. "Do you think I should leave?" I asked the yellow dandelion in front of me. "I was thinking of leaving once I get a job. I have a lot of loans to pay for. Jeff was too kind to loan me clothes and even a phone."The dandelion danced with the force of the water coming from the hose that I felt like it's nodding at me. I smiled weakly. "I should leave, right?" I asked the poor flower again and it moved again. "I should leave and look for a job. Maybe I got rejected be
The skies were turning orange and I can already see the sun coming out from the mountains. I smiled as I watched the beauty of the sunrise in awe."It's beautiful," I gasped. My eyes are surely twinkling at the sight of it. For me, sunrises mean hope and new beginnings. It's a new day and we need to forget about the darkness of the night.I looked over at Jeff who is staring at the skies too and I couldn't help but smile. A lot of bad things had happened to me but I am glad that I have met him. I was lost in the darkness but he helped me find the light.He's my sunrise. He's a part of the new beginning of my life. He marked the start of another chapter of my life-a a life to redeem myself and show everyone that I can be more than just an omega's daughter.Jeff suddenly looked at me. "Why?" he asked me.
Mate? What does that mean?I stared at Jeff's mother with a trembling gaze. My whole mind went blank with the bomb she just dropped. Why would they know about mates? Do humans have mates, too?Jeff's mother narrowed her eyes at me. "Who are you?" she asked again. "What are you doing inside my son's house?My lips parted, unable to answer her question because my brain is not in its best state-not when I am suddenly confused about what's happening around me.While waiting for me to answer, two men came from behind her.They both looked so intense that the first thing I thought when they came in is that they are her bodyguards. One is wearing a brown shirt and a pair of jeans. I think.He's tall a
My whole brain is in haywire. Roselyn was already five steps ahead. She's already planning for the wedding. I looked at Jeff for help but he's also preoccupied with Neil and Ryder, who seemed to be reporting something to him.I looked at Roselyn who sounded very delighted. I knew she cared for her son so much but she's jumping to conclusions without even trying to hear Jeff's side. She doesn't even know what Jeff has to say on this one. I am not his mate. I'm sure he doesn't want to be married to me!"You know what? The best venue for your wedding would be in the flower field," she said dreamily. "It's where his father and I got married and it's the most beautiful wedding everyone has ever seen." She took my hands in excitement.She looked at my body. "We need to plan this wedding right away!" she beamed as she stood up
I was pacing back and forth in my room, biting my nails, as anxiety was taking over my whole system.I agreed to the marriage. I agreed to be his wife even though I am not his mate. I sighed in frustration and messed my hair. I groaned and stomped my feet like a child throwing a tantrum before throwing myself on the bed.I buried my face on the soft blanket as screamed in frustration. I should have lost my mind for a moment because Jeff was not the Jeff I have known for days. He sounded so dangerous and ruthless. Gone is Jeff who was sweet and caring. All I saw a while ago was a dominant alpha.I sat up abruptly and rubbed my face with my palms. " That's okay, Caitlynn," I mumbled to myself. "That's okay. He'll kill you if you don't agree." I nodded, affirming what I am telling myself. "You just agreed because you love y
"Are you ready?" Jeff asked me from the other side of the door. I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror. I am wearing a white flowy dress that Jeff asked his shopper to buy. We were supposed to buy it but Ambrose went to work and he didn't want me to go out with a stranger. Which, I don't understand.I touched the chiffon fabric and nodded in affirmation. The dress was simple but it looked so elegant when worn. And it fit me well. I wonder how the personal shopper knew my size. I don't even know if she had seen me.She also bought me a pearl white necklace that went perfectly with the dress. I have to commend the shopper's fashion sense.I wore a pair of crystal stilettoes and walked to the door to open it. Jeff was there, wearing his black three-piece suit and a silver necktie. He looked at me from head to foot before smirking. "Wow," he said in a satisfied tone. "You look… he
Sitting beside Dionessa while eating, I watched Jeff as he interacted with everyone in the room. He surely is the Alpha but he seemed friendly to everyone. He was even talking to Pyro even though he knew what Pyro's family wanted. And that's kicking him off the hierarchy. Looking at him from meters away, I can already see a glimpse of the Jeff I met in the woods, the Jeffwho took me in his house and the Ambrose who took care of me."How old are you?" Dionessa asked me out of the blue.I tore my gaze off of Jeff and turned to her. "I just turned twenty-one about two months ago," I replied. "And you?" I asked her back."I'm twenty-six, like Jeff," she replied.I nodded slowly. So, Jeff is twenty-six? I didn't know about it because I never really asked him. I wasn't planning on knowing more about him because I was only passing by. But I guess n
I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror. I am wearing an orange silk nightgown for the first time in my life because that's the only thing that I saw in the closet, aside from some branded dresses.I pouted as I walked out of the bathroom. Jeff was watching the television while sitting on the bedroom bench. He immediately turned to me and stared at me from head to foot.My cheeks immediately flushed, causing me to look down to my feet. "S-sorry. This is the only thing I saw in the closet." I started to explain."That's okay." I heard him say. "Dionessa didn't know what to buy so she just bought what she usually uses." I raised my gaze and looked at him. "You can go with her to shop tomorrow for the clothes you like."I nodded and walked towards the bed reluctantly.I stared at it and wondered if I'm sleeping in here. I stared at the couch and I
"Do you like it?" Jeff asked me as we watched the sunset from the lake. "We must go on more vacations in the future." I smiled and shrugged. "Will you waste a lot of money on a fake marriage with me?" I asked him, chuckling weakly. " I don't want to make you poor." I kidded and he laughed. "Make me poor?" he asked in disbelief. He held my hand and pulled me closer to him. "Do you think several simple vacations would make me broke?" His eyes were on me, reflecting the light from the setting sun. I shrugged. "Did you think I would be worth all the money you're spending?" "Why won't you be?" he asked me back. "You're my wife.""But not your real mate," I countered. "I am only here for you for six months. You should go on and hurry up in finding your rightful mate before our contract expires." I wanted to be very honest with him because sometimes, I feel like he's doing too much for me. Even though my heart is beginning to long for him. Morgan, Adrian I have met b
Dior was smirking at me when Jeff and I came back to the packhouse. Apparently, we won't be having a honeymoon because Jeff is busy with his company and with some matters involving his pack. It's okay with me. It's not like I want us to be alone on a vacation. Thinking about what could happen sends shivers to my spine."How was your wedding night?" she asked me while munching on an apple.I sighed and sat beside her on the couch. "It was okay, Ireplied nonchalantly as I stretched my hand on my lap.I heard her sighing before folding her left knee to face me. "What do you mean it was okay?" she asked eagerly. "Did he…" she wriggled her brows at me.I pursed my lips and sighed deeply. "No," Hied. "So please, let's just go around the property today. Are you busy? "I wanted to change the topic because there is no way I am going to open up about what happened for the past two days. I already know that a fish gets caught in the mouth and I am nowher
Jeff eyes are on mine while he reached for the shower knob. I was still dizzy and unstable. But I didn't know if it was the alcohol that's taking over or just him.I stood naked in front of him but instead of feeling awkward, I feel excited. He's topless in front of me, showing his majestic, perfectly-sculptured muscles, it's not the first time that I'm seeing him like this but the mere fact that he's only inches from me while naked ignited a fire in my system.I swallowed hard when my eyes trailed down on the huge bulge on his bovers. It's already making me curious as to how huge it would be when it's freed.I stopped. saint. What am I thinking?I mentally shook my head while scolding myself before looking back into Jeff's eyes. He's staring at me intently like I am the only thing worth looking at. His gaze is so intense that I can feel my knees giving up on me anytime soon."Are you okay?" he asked in a hoarse whisper before turning the shower on
The reception was fun. Everyone was congratulating us and my facial muscles were so tired from too much smiling. Jeff was just nodding at everyone.I didn't expect the reception to be like this. The garden in Jeff's mansion looked so different from the garden I fixed. There were white curtains everywhere. There were also sunflowers in every table. It's wonderful.I looked at Jeff who was already glaring at me because I am holding a wine glass. I frowned at him, "It's our wedding reception. And besides, it's only one glass and I'm even with you."He leaned to my ear. "The last time you were drunk with two glasses." He reminded me with conviction like he's scolding me.I rolled my eyes and drank the whole glass. "Nothing willhappen tonight," I assured him. He smirked. "Oh, I wish there will be," he retorted before drinking all the wine. I glared at him and he just shrugged. He looked at the guests and started smiling and nodding at them.We had a few
"You look stunning," Dior said as she looked at me from the mirror. She's holding a make-up brush while smiling at me widely, proud of what she's done to my face and my hair. She's my maid of honor and she was also in charge of my hair and makeup. Aside from being a designer, she also has a certification on makeup and hairstyling. She trained for months and had done side jobs related to this. I stared at myself in the mirror, couldn't believe that I look like this. The make-up wasn't excessive and exaggerated but it's just enough to accentuate all of my features. My hair - is in a French braid with loose strands gelled together, falling on either side of my face. "I cannot wait to see you in your wedding gown," she giggled as she fixed her make-up. She only left her brush and loose powder for touch up later on. "Amanda is waiting for you. Go and wear your gown." She looked at her wristwatch." It's almost three. You have to be there at three-thirty or Ambrose will
Dior sighed. "Babe, you just drank two glasses. Don't tell me you're already drunk?" she asked in a disappointed tone. I shook my head. "I'm just dizzy." I replied as I felt my whole world spinning around. "Shit," she cussed. "Alpha's going to kill me." I heard her say before pulling me up to take me somewhere. I was struggling to walk properly because of my wavy vision. I just realized that we're inside the restroom when I heard the water running down the faucet with Dior trying to wipe my face with a wet handkerchief. I took the cloth from her and did it myself.. "I can't believe someone would get tipsy over two glasses of wine, Wine!" she exasperated. "I never thought I'd meet someone with a low alcohol tolerance rate as you." I groaned and gargled. "Are we going home?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes before dialing a number. "Hello, Jeff," she started and my eyes widened. I wanted to stop her but I am still dizzy and I still can't stand strai
"Mom is meeting us the same cafe you met with Samantha later," he said, changing the topic. "Do you want to stop over somewhere before we go there?"I shrugged. "I have nothing in mind," I replied as ! continued eating. "What about you?" I asked him."I want to check the house first," he said. "I have been absent from work for days, too. Maybe we should drop by the office first before heading over the cafe."I nodded. "Sure." There's nothing I can do to stop him anyway. And besides, there's nothing wrong with it. He's probably taken a leave at work and he needs to prepare for our wedding. Who knows what could be happening in their company? And that's what we did. After eating breakfast, we immediately drove to his mansion. I went to check on the flowers in the garden. It's been two days since I last came here so I decided to water them quickly. I worked so hard to keep them alive. They can't die on me now. I had fun talking to them sometimes.Jeff came do
Rosemary was humming when we were inside the car. "Did you have anything in mind for your wedding dress?" she asked me."I shook my head when in reality, I have already thought about how my wedding would be like-simple and intimate. I only want a few people, the only people who mean so much to me and my groom, to come and witness it. We'll eat, celebrate and play at the reception. No elegant dresses. No expensive gifts. Just me, my groom, our family, and friends.I smiled weakly and wondered if Rosemary would consider my opinion.She smiled and held my hand, "I know this is all so quick to you and I'm sorry that I hadn't given you the room to breathe and process all of these in your system. But I'm sure that my son will treat you well," she told me. "He may look strong and authoritative but he's a sweet boy.I bit my lip and nodded. I know that Jeff is a sweet boy. I've seen him since the day he helped me. Something must have changed in the way I look at
