HARIA'S POV
"Y-You want to reject me as your mate, Alpha Ryan?" I immediately asked him while being a little shocked after I heard him say that he was rejecting me.
"This will not work, Haria. Can't you see that I'm just toying with you?" he answered without even a slight hesitation. "Besides, it's been so toxic since the start. You're always being jealous for no reason. Your insecurities are swallowing you up."
"Are you telling me that I'm the one who's wrong here? How dare you do this to me, Ryan! Don't make me into a fool!" I continued in a hard and angry voice. This guy was rejecting me as his mate and he's pointing out that I'm the one who's wrong.
"I'm already rejecting you, Haria! There's no reason for us to waste time here."
This guy really has the courage to speak to me like this. He was indeed an Alpha and next in line to the throne of their pack, but I'm also the daughter of the ruler of the Blue Blood Pack. So he should respect me somehow.
"Okay, fine! Reject me if that's what you want! Do you think I will chase you? No way, Ryan!" I shouted back at him. I was so annoyed that I felt as if my chest was about to explode. Although this rejection is not good for me because it is a big shame for me and the whole pack, somehow, I have to save my ego and show him that I am not affected and I will never chase him.
"If that's the case, there's no need for us to talk anymore. I won't bother you from now on, so I hope you do the same," Ryan said seriously and then he turned around and started walking away from me.
I became speechless and just swallowed some of my salivae after hearing Ryan's last words as he turned his back on me.
"W-Wait, A-Alpha Ryan."
I wanted to stop him from leaving as I realized that it seemed wrong to just agree to his decision and maybe there is still a way for us to fix this but he was already far away from where I was standing. I know I'm the loser here. It could have been a huge embarrassment when the news spread that Alpha Ryan, who was supposed to be my mate, rejected me.
I am a respected alpha's daughter of our pack, but still, Alpha Ryan rejected me. That was a shame, not only for me but also for my family.
But I couldn't do anything else now but look at Alpha Ryan in the distance as he continued walking away, without even looking back at me. I didn't even notice that tears were slowly flowing down my cheeks from my eyes.
I didn't go home that day to avoid whatever my dad and brother would tell me about this fucking rejection. I just told them that Alpha Ryan already rejected me. For sure, my dad will scold me for not doing anything and just accepting Alpha Ryan's rejection because that means that whatever connects the Blue Blood Pack and the Night Stalkers Pack will be cut off now. Alpha Ryan's pack will stop supporting us, especially military support. And Dad will definitely blame me for that.
I went straight to a videoke bar and decided to drown myself with beer while singing break-up songs. I don't want to go to expensive bars because my friends are sure to be there. I don't want them to see me in this pathetic situation.
I almost didn't want to let go of the microphone as much as possible, I wanted to sing all the break-up songs I knew. Even though I was already a bit drunk and couldn't pronounce some of the lyrics very well. My voice is a bit hoarse but I still don't want to stop. If it wasn't for a guy who came to me and wanted to grab the microphone from me because he said he also wants to sing, I wouldn't have stopped.
"Are you an Alpha?" I asked the guy who approached me after I confronted him. And when our eyes met, I confirmed that he was indeed an Alpha. "Fucking Alpha! Male Alphas are the same!" I shouted to him. "You're all cheaters and heartless. Why is it so easy for you to reject someone because you simply don't like her anymore, huh?"
"Ahem! I don't think all of the male alphas were like that," the guy immediately replied.
"That's bullshit! You will do that too eventually, whoever you are," I immediately countered. "You're no different from that bullshit Alpha Ryan." I even dropped the glass of beer hard on the table after I drank some of its contents. I feel so angry for Ryan that I really want to break his face right now. But I forgot that he wasn't here and it was another guy in front of me now.
The guy didn't seem to like my behavior and suddenly his facial expression changed but I just ignored it. I don't care and I'm not afraid of him. Then a woman approached me and whispered something to me.
"Don't you know him? There's a rumor that he came from a pack consisting of ruthless members," she whispered to me which immediately made me raise my eyebrows and I quickly removed his hand that landed on my shoulder. I don't care who he is, where he came from, or what kind of ruthless alpha he is.
"Don't touch me, okay!" I shouted at the woman and pushed her a little. Then, I faced the guy again who wanted to grab the microphone from me.
"Are you sure you can be responsible with your words? You keep on talking nonsense things, not even realizing that you are facing a respected alpha," I heard the man say. Now he was more serious and looked annoyed with me. So what?
"And why should I respect you when I didn't even know you!" I answered aloud, at the same time, I tossed the microphone to him. Then, I turned my back on him. I was about to start walking away from him when he grabbed my arm and even pulled me back to him.
"Where are you going?" he said in a firm voice as he tightened his grip on my arm when I tried to get away from him. "I'm not finished talking so don't turn your back on me. Don't be rude!"
I didn't answer and pushed him hard instead so I could get away from him. He fell, and because of the tension that was rising inside, the other customers immediately ran outside, especially when they noticed the change in the man's aura.
He got really angry and quickly stood up and looked at me with his glaring eyes. He was already in a fighting stance so I was slightly nervous.
I prepared myself for the possibility that he would attack me. Then, he started moving his feet and rushed towards me.
"You will regret this day that you did not respect me and you even lay your hands on me," he shouted as he was about to unleash a powerful attack. But before his hands could touch me, he suddenly fell hard to the floor. He even rolled due to the force of the attack he received.
Someone attacked him before his punch could land in my face. I immediately turned to see who helped me that I didn't notice was now beside me. I could tell he was a beta and based on what he was wearing, he looked like a soldier.
He winked at me, saying 'hi' while smiling when our eyes met, which made me a little annoyed. I frowned and immediately looked away from him.
Then, I felt him hold my arm. It's as if he doesn't want to lose me by his side, unlike that other man who held me forcefully earlier and seemed to be furious.
I tried to get away from him but failed as he started pulling me out of the videoke bar.
"We need to get out of here! That Alpha is ruthless and crazy. And he has a lot of minions who are with him," the beta guy said seriously as he pulled me out even though I objected and wanted to walk on my own.
Why are they so afraid of that ruthless alpha? I can face him in a fight and I am not afraid of him.
"Let's say that being an alpha is in your blood and you can handle them, but it's better that we just stay away so that none of us get hurt, right?" I heard him say in a still serious voice. It was impressive how he was even able to predict what was on my mind at this moment.
I didn't say anything and just followed him without complaining. I just let him hold my precious hand as we continued running after we got out of the videoke bar. The ruthless alpha is following us and he has five other men with him. Their faces couldn't be painted anymore because of the anger they felt as if they had been robbed of a lollipop.
Then, we suddenly turned to another street and when this beta saw a fast food restaurant, he quickly pulled me towards it and entered the comfort room next to it. Luckily, no one saw us because if someone did, for sure they would think I was too cheap to go with a man inside the comfort room.
"Why did you bring me..." Even before I finished speaking, he suddenly covered my mouth with one of his hands.
"Ssshhh! They won't think we're coming in here. So don't make any noise and let's spend some time here first," he whispered.
I didn't speak anymore and just observed the surroundings like what he was doing.
He is too close to me. Just a little more and our bodies will stick together. The comfort room was too small so I couldn't avoid being uncomfortable, although I'm aware that he's just thinking of our safety.
He was looking at the door so I couldn't avoid looking at him. He's too handsome for a beta and I would rate his muscularity high because of the big muscles in his arms. His face is smooth and the army cut suits him which shows how good-looking he is even more.
I also couldn't avoid exploring my eyes as I looked down at his muscular chest that almost wanted to spit on his very fit military t-shirt. I also looked at his pants as I got curious about what he got there and I couldn't stop my eyes until I saw something huge inside his pants.
I came back to my senses and I was slightly surprised when I heard the shouting of people inside the fast-food restaurant. The ruthless alpha and his minions must be out there already looking for us.
Then, we heard an angry man's voice, who was definitely referring to us, telling us to come out of hiding or he will turn the fast food restaurant upside down.
The beta guy who I was with inside the comfort room looked at me and signaled me not to make any noise. Our eyes met and stared at each other for a few seconds. Then, we heard the throwing of tables and chairs inside the fast-food restaurant. The breaking of plates and glasses. And the ruthless alpha shouted, "If you don't come out in five minutes, I will burn down this fast food restaurant."
I felt the movement of the beta guy I was with inside the comfort room and slowly removed his hand from covering my mouth. He was bothered by what that ruthless alpha said and maybe, he was thinking of going out to save this fast food restaurant and other people who were trapped inside.
He was about to reach the doorknob when I pulled him back to me and our bodies accidentally touched each other. Our eyes met again and this time, I felt something weird inside me as if it was telling me to do something. Until I slowly brought my lips closer to his lips and tasted how sweet they were.
I know he was surprised by what I did but I felt his immediate response to my kiss as if he was very eager and had never experienced anything like this in his entire life.
JACOB'S POV I knew that the crazy and ruthless alpha wasn't kidding when he said he was going to burn down the fast-food restaurant if we didn't come out. I'm not afraid of him and I knew that the woman who's with me inside the comfort room also feels the same. I fear for the people trapped inside the fast food restaurant who will surely not survive the rampage of the crazy ruthless alpha. I was about to reach the doorknob when I felt the woman suddenly hold my hand. I was surprised, especially when she pulled me back to her and our bodies accidentally pressed together. And what she did next surprised me even more. She suddenly kissed me without saying any word, whether she was attracted to me or she suddenly felt hot because of my muscular body. I thought that maybe she just wanted to stop me from leaving the comfort room, so she did that. But I noticed that she liked it and seemed to enjoy it after she tasted my sweet lips. It's as if she wants more so I immediately responded to
HARIA'S POV I know why Dad asked my brother to pick me up. He will definitely force me to stay at the camp again, especially now that Alpha Ryan rejected me. He will surely keep an eye on me because he is afraid that I might do something that is not good and will damage his reputation. "What the hell, Haria? Get inside the car and let's not waste any more time here!" I heard the loud voice of my brother, Alpha Jomer, so I suddenly came back to my senses. It seems that my brother's patience is about to run out. I love seeing him like this so I'm purposely wasting time here. Let's see if he can manage to control his temper over me or lose it again. "It's a hassle for me too, Haria! If it weren't for an important order from Dad, I wouldn't waste my time coming here to pick you up!" he continued. I was about to answer him when we heard one of the soldiers who was with him shout. "Someone was spying on us, Alpha Jomer!" At the same time, a man ran away quickly from a parked car near u
JACOB'S POV "Congratulations, Jacob, you're already famous here in the whole camp after your team with Marky won the archery competition," my friend Carl's smile reached his ears while speaking after he got close to me. "But this achievement was almost got to waste. It's a good thing that Alpha Jomer didn't recognize me and didn't order the soldiers who were with him to chase me," I answered him while shaking my head. "So what has gotten into your mind that you think of listening to Alpha Jomer's conversation with the beautiful woman that you're saying? Maybe she's one of Alpha Jomer's women and they're just fighting because of jealousy," Carl continued. I just told him that I tried to eavesdrop on what Alpha Jomer and the woman were arguing when I saw them. I didn't tell him that that woman and I almost had sex inside the comfort room. He definitely won't stop asking if I told him about that. I also didn't tell him the reason why we ended up inside the comfort room together. "I'm
HARIA'S POV As Kate and I walked away, we still heard my brother's loud voice. "What's going on here?" His voice was too authoritative. It's a good thing he didn't see me and Kate there because for sure, I'll receive nonstop sermons from him and he'll even embarrass me in front of the crowd. Although I still want to confront the man who wants to score with me, it's better that we leave. But why do I seem to be more annoyed with the man who helped us than the man who harassed us? I don't know, I don't understand myself either. Maybe because of the embarrassing moment that happened to us inside the comfort room when our paths crossed in the city. Yes, I suddenly felt ashamed of myself when I found out that that man was also a member of the Blue Blood Pack. And that's not all, because it looks like I will often see him here at the camp if Dad's plan to register me in the training goes through. "Wait a minute, Kate," I said a little breathlessly as I got out of Kate's grip and stopped
HARIA'S POV "You really don't understand me, Beta!" I shouted as my grip on him got tighter. Then, I stopped walking and slightly pushed him away. My hand left a mark on his arm because of how tightly I held him earlier. If I hadn't controlled myself, his arm might have been broken already. I know he was slightly hurt but he didn't show it to me. He really takes care of his ego too much. "You have to tell my brother that I was not involved in the trouble that happened earlier," I continued in a firm and still loud voice. He didn't answer and instead, he gave me a smile like a dog. "Looks like I understand why now," he said with sarcasm in his voice. And I was even more annoyed now by that gesture. "Will you taste punishment when Alpha Jomer finds out that you were involved in the trouble earlier? Are you perhaps, some kind of a black sheep of your family?" "Mind the words coming out of your mouth, Mr. Cabarse. You might get a broken bone if you continue to do so." I was even more
JACOB'S POV I was currently having breakfast in my barracks when suddenly, one of my friends came rushing to me. "We have to go see Carl! Marky was beating him up!" I was surprised after I heard that from Richard so I stopped eating and quickly took my T-shirt and put it on. "Where are they?" I asked worriedly. "On the basketball court." After hearing that, I hurried out of my barracks and quickly ran towards the basketball court. I don't even notice if Richard followed me or not as I am very worried about my best friend, Carl. Marky chose to mess with him again and the reason is to annoy me and force me to engage in a fight with him. Marky wants to ruin me and he will do everything to make that happen. I was already at the oval grounds when I bumped into a woman wearing a white t-shirt and jogging pants, probably one of the newbies here in the training camp. She suddenly shifted direction so I couldn't avoid her anymore. She fell to the ground and I immediately felt pity for he
HARIA'S POV I could sense that something was not right when Jacob rushed to the basketball court. He even ignored my positioning in a fighting stance. And I was right because when I decided to follow him, I witnessed that an intense fight was about to happen between two groups. I even stepped in between them to try to stop them but I ended up being stuck in the middle of the fight. But somehow, Jacob seemed to protect me and didn't let anyone's attack land on me. The fight was about to get intense when the bell suddenly rang. Reason for them to stop and Jacob and his two friends started walking out of the basketball court. My cousin also pulled me out of the court even though I still didn't want to as I wanted to confront the other guy and show him who I am here at the camp of the Blue Blood Pack. The trainees were already lining up in front of the stage where my brother and a soldier who introduced himself as General Parks were waiting. My cousin and I were about to line up alon
JACOB'S POV She's taking it so long to take the badges that I'm giving her. Perhaps, she doesn't want it. I even went through this kind of hassle as apparently, this is my peace offering to her even though I didn't do anything wrong. And of course, to impress her somehow. But everything I did seemed to be just useless. I was about to take my hand back and just accept that we will never be okay no matter what I do, when she suddenly reached for the five badges from my hand. "Thank you because I really need these badges," she said. "My father and my brother don't want to give me a break. So I'm going to use it to somehow have a rest." "If you want to..." I couldn't finish what I was going to say when she turned around and immediately walked away from us, out of the woods. I just shook my head as I followed her with just my sight. Then, I felt Carl's hand landed on my shoulder. "Don't worry, man. Whatever you're thinking right now, I've got your back." There was teasing in Carl's v
It seems that Mr. Rogers' face cannot be painted when he visited Divine in her office."What's the matter, Sir?" Divine immediately asked as Mr. Rogers sat down."I've failed to convince the clients to move with us again, Divine," Mr. Rogers replied in a sad voice. "They said they prefer to work with another company."Divine's sad face became even sadder and she threw herself down on the chair after hearing Mr. Rogers' sad news."How about the new strategy that the Marketing Team is working on? Is there any improvement?" Mr. Rogers continued."That's another problem, Sir. Nothing is happening. They've tried other ways, but it's not really clicking. Maybe, we have to wait a few months before we see the real results.""It looks like the company can't wait a few more months. It's already losing money and it can't continue like this," Mr. Rogers said."What are we going to do, Sir?""Maybe, we have to beg the other company to give us a chance. That they don't cut us off.""Should we go th
The company of Mr. Young, which was actually owned by Ram, immediately made a big impact on people, which is why its sales quickly increased and the products made from it became in demand.Ram used the money that he stole from Divine's company to build his own company and Mr. Young is in charge of it.They even entered overseas and now, they are targeting the market where Divine's company is present.And because Ram is the Vice President at Divine's company, he can easily get the designs there and transfer them to his company. That's why he easily grabbed the customers that Divine's company had.And due to the gradual decline of Divine's company, their loyal clients are also moving one by one."Can you tell me what's exactly happening, Ram? Why is this happening in the company?" Divine asked with her facial expression that was very serious."I'm so sorry, Divine. But I don't think we can stop the gradual collapse of this company," Ram answered with a sad expression on his face."What
Divine still couldn't believe what she heard as she was driving the car to the precinct to see Jacob. She knew that her mate would not be able to kill someone.Her chest kept beating faster and faster as she approached the precinct where Jacob was taken. She was thinking about the condition of her mate. He was involved in a crime and an employee of their company was killed, so her mind was really a mess now.When she arrived at the precinct, she immediately went to the cell where Jacob was. And she immediately felt pity after seeing him. As the tears were flowing down from her eyes, she slowly approached the iron bars where her mate was imprisoned."Thank you for coming here, Divine," Jacob immediately approached and held the woman's hands. "Get me out of here. I don't know what they're accusing of. I didn't kill Roel.""I believe you, Jacob. I know you can't do that. But I wonder what you're doing in that place.""I followed Ram because I wanted to get evidence that he was doing some
Roel was dead on the spot and Ram got even closer while pointing the gun at him. And the bullet hit the lying corpse in the chest.Everyone there was surprised when they heard a noise from the door of the hideout.One of Ram's men immediately checked what had hit and everyone was surprised when he screamed."Someone got into the hideout!"Ram's three men immediately ran to chase the fleeing man.Robert sped up running and in a few moments, he was close to catching up with the man.Maybe, because the man was a little nervous, so he caught up with him and grabbed the clothes that he was wearing.The man fell down when he was able to push him. But because he also was not able to balance himself due to the speed of running, he also fell down."J-Jacob Cabarse! It's you!" Robert was very surprised when he recognized the man who entered their hideout.Jacob immediately released a powerful punch and hit Robert's jaw.But Robert's body is much bigger and more muscular so it doesn't seem like
Robert went to Ram's office and he saw his friend angrily throwing away the things and documents that were on his table."What's wrong, Ram? Can you calm down first?" Robert said after getting close to Ram."That Jacob Cabarse is really testing me. I guess he really wants to know what I can do if I get angry," Ram said while wearing a smile like a dog."Why Ram? What did that man do this time?""He's gathering evidence against me. That man is causing me so much headache and he's really screwing me over.""Do you want me to silence him forever?""No Robert! But we'll get there soon. There's a better and cleaner way to get that Jacob Cabarse out of our way. But it's not time yet. What I need to know is what's the news about what I'm asking Mr. Young to do.""I have talked to Mr. Young. He is still gathering enough investors and increasing the shares. When everything is okay, we can proceed to the next step.""What the hell is wrong with him and he was so slow. I'm getting impatient. If
Jacob also stood up and gave Divine a warm hug and then she went to the front to speak and say thank you in front of the people who helped the company rise again.Divine was very happy during those moments and almost stuttered because of how happy she felt. She was even in tears while speaking in front of the employees.What made everyone there happy was the important announcement of the CEO that he will increase the salary of all employees of the company from the lowest position to the highest. Everyone applauded and when the meeting was over, the employees left the hall with smiles on their faces.Divine held a thanksgiving party that night. She invited all the employees of the company and some of them attended.Of course, the presence of Jacob and their friends will never disappear."I'm sorry, Honey. We didn't bring a gift for you," Jacob said while smiling after approaching his mate."You don't need to give me a gift. It's a thanksgiving party, right? What's important here is you
"Hi, Aiza," Nasser greeted as a smile that almost reached his ears drew on his face. He was about to go inside Jacob's office when he saw Aiza and stopped in front of her. "Jacob asked me to buy coffee outside, so I've also bought one for you," he continued while handing the coffee to her."You're paying too much attention to me more often, huh," Aiza said as she looked at Nasser who was in front of her while getting coffee from him."I want to see you every day. My everyday life is not complete when I don't see you.""Then I will recommend you to ask me to go out on a date. Make an effort for a romantic date. But make sure that I will be thrilled because of the beautiful set-up.""You're talking about those dates in the movies? Well, I can't do that. I don't have much money to spend on that.""Oh, is that so? Then, start saving now," Aiza said and then, she started walking away.She stopped after a few steps and looked at the man again."Thank you for the coffee, huh," Aiza said whil
Jacob went to the company early, the next morning. He will withdraw the resignation letter he gave to Divine and he will also apologize to her. He went to a flower shop first to buy flowers for his peace offering to his mate.He was about to enter the elevator when he caught up with Ram. They cast sharp glances at each other. The tension between them only eased when someone else entered to board the elevator.The two of them were next to each other but managed to calm themselves down and avoid making a scene inside the elevator.They were going to the same floor so when they got out of the elevator, they couldn't bear to look at each other again."I thought you were going to leave the company. Why are you still here?" Ram was the one who spoke first."I changed my mind, Sir," Jacob answered with a smile like a dog. "Because I realized that this company needs me, especially Divine. I have to protect them against people who are planning badly to get this company.""Are you accusing me?"
"You did a good job, Roel. Divine will no longer be suspicious and that omega Jacob Cabarse will stop bothering me now," Ram said to Roel who was in front of him."What will I do next, Sir Ram?" Roel asked."I'll give you more money and resign from the company. I'll just find you a place to move to."Roel nodded after he heard what Ram said. Then, his boss handed him a small envelope containing a large amount of money. He took a look at it and a smile that almost reached his ears immediately drew on his face."Thank you for this, Sir Ram.""As long as you always do well on what I ask you to do, I will be happy with you and you will receive many more like that. You have to lie low for now and that Jacob Cabarse will surely get angry. I will just call you when I need your service again.""No problem, Sir Ram.""Alright, you can leave now."Then, Roel turned away and started walking out of Ram's office.—---^^^°^^^------Divine was surprised when she opened the folded paper that Jacob ga
