My eyebrows raised in confusion.“He suddenly disappeared and vanished from my world a month after we figured out he was my mate and I was his mate, so now I'm waiting in hope that I'll find another mate.”I stood up from the bed, and moved over to her. With my hands patting her back, I said. “don't be sad, I can understand your pain. But what do you mean by "he's longer in your world?”I was a little hesitant, but I still asked “is he dead?” I asked in a whisper.Fortunately, Mara shook her head. “No he's not, but rather he's missing or should I say he disappeared himself? I don't really know what to say.”Feeling relieved at her words, I patted Mara's shoulder even more. “Don't worry. All will be fine.” “Yes,” she nodded, trying to give a small smile, but it seemed difficult for her. Afterall, she was currently unhappy.I shouldn't have brought this discussion up in the first place, if only I knew there was bitterness hiding in that question for Mara in particular.“Um, let's not t
*Jane*I don't know what Mara really wanted to hear from me, when I'm also just like her; don't have an answer.Finally, I couldn't stay silent anymore. With my eyes on her, I replied. “I don't know the reason either.” “You say what?” Mara's eyes widened, in disbelief. Her curious and enthusiastic voice has all vanished.I could tell she didn't actually believe my words at all.I heard Mara ask. ” Why won't you know the reason? It's not possible?” I sighed with a downcasted eyes. “I'm telling you the truth. Perhaps, it's just Alpha Damon being friendly to me.” I said, causally.Right as those words slipped from my mouth, I saw Mara shook her head decisively. “No, I don't believe it. Alpha Damon doesn't seem like one that's even friendly with someone. Perhaps, he likes you but you don't know yet.”My heart tightened at her words. I don't know why but I didn't want to curse Mara a thousand times. Why was she being on making this heart of mine keep fast, just for something that's real.
*Damon*Watching as Alpha Ryker left my office, I didn't waste time in getting my head buried into the files in front of me. I was feeling quite relieved with the thought that I wasn't having a disturbed mind, which made it possible for me to concentrate on my work.As my hands kept opening and reading the files, I heard the creaking door sound.Even with the sound, I didn't raise my head to glance. I could tell from the footstep who it was.“You're here again.” My voice was cold, with a hint of irritation in it. Zeeb didn't say anything, but rather walked forward into the office.He only stops, after getting to myself. “Can I sit?” He asked.Hearing his question, I snorted. “Why are you asking me? It's not like you don't sit without getting my permission.”Zeeb chuckled, then proceeded to have his seat in front of me.Nevertheless, I still didn't have my head raised. My gaze continued to remain on the files in my hands. Seating comfortably, Zeeb said. “Alpha Ryker just left.”It w
*Damon*Bowing, Zeeb turned, ready to take his leave.Right before he could do that, I stopped him and said clearly. “Let them stay in the unimportant part; those rooms that we don't even consider.” Zeeb glanced at me looking dumbfounded. He wanted to say something, but a shape glare from me shushed him up. I knew he wanted to return about my unfairness, so I had to quickly stop that.With unwillingness, he finally left my sight, over to Alpha Ryker. Only I remained in the living room. While reading the news, my mind drifted back to the little girl of last night.I wondered if she's still asleep. She should be, right? From the little I knew of her, she seems to like sleeping a lot.Due to my unsettled mind, I dropped my newspaper on the table, and stood up from the chair.Without much thinking I started walking upstairs, I didn't stop walking, until I headed to the little girl's room.With gentleness, I knocked on her room door, with the thought that she would have woken up alread
*Damon*What's she saying? I immediately raised my head to her, with that sharp gaze on mine.Noticing my cold expression, Emily quickly added, perhaps in fear, I might give reasons to refuse.“You said you won't be free today, so I thought about it thoroughly and felt it would be better for us to stroll in the morning.” She muttered,With a shape glare, I questioned. “And when did I even agree to go with you on this morning stroll whatsoever?” My voice wasn't cold, but the sharpness of my eyes were enough to make her unstable.“You said you won't be free, so I chose this morning.” She said,I sighed, knowing she's purposely feigning ignorance.Noticing that, I also replied flatly. “I'm not going.”She was also persistent. “But you're free this morning? Let's go for just a stroll.” She urged, with a cry.“I'm busy.” I had those words said out, in a loud and clear voice.Whether or not she understood is her business not mine. She can choose to continue playing ignorance, I'm not the o
*Jane*Watching her stammering, and also having a blushing face, I couldn't help but wonder what the king did that made his admirer like this.“I'm waiting,” I reminded her, seeing that she's still in the blushing state.I was getting more and more curious. Was what Alpha Damon doing has anything to do with me or what? I just couldn't help but be curious.Mara's face flushed, even more at my reminder. Seeing this made me start to frown. “Mara!” I called out, with an angry voice.Hearing my voice, Mara regained her senses a little, but the blush was still evident on her face.“I saw Alpha Damon near you, and…” she stammered, unable to continue, before blushing once more.Wait??? Did I just hear he was near me, like he was seriously close to me, and what was he doing?I quickly glanced at Mara, demanding. “And what? You better quickly answer me?” My mind was running wide with different thoughts coming in all at once. The way Mara was blushing and stuttering, made me think changed to a
*Jane*After getting back at Mara, I happily slipped into the clothes she had brought. It was a simple white gown, but its elegance was undeniable.Once dressed, I took a moment to admire myself in the bathroom mirror. Satisfied with my appearance, I exited the bathroom and returned to the room, only to find Mara rolling her eyes at me."Hehe, what's with the eye-rolling?" I chuckled."Just you wait! You'd better hope I forget about this, or else I'll have my own revenge," she threatened, arms folded tightly across her chest.“Mm.” I didn't take her words seriously, “What are we going to be doing today? Am I just going to stay in this room today again?” I asked, looking sad.Although I appreciate the beauty of this room, that doesn't mean I want to be here all the time. I love watching many places, not being indoors like this, with no fun.Mara gave a contemplative look. “Why don't we go downstairs? You could walk TV down there, and everywhere won't be boring. What do you think of th
*Jane*"Are you ignoring me? I'm talking to you!" Emily's furious voice broke through my thoughts once again.I cleared my throat, trying to regain my composure. Just as I was about to respond, Mara stepped forward."It seems like you're itching for another slap, isn't it?" She remarked dryly.Emily's face darkened at Mara's words. "I don't know where you get the nerve to talk back to me, you lowly servant! Just because you managed to slap me yesterday, you think you're on the same level as me, don't you?"Mara glanced at her with disinterest before letting out a bored yawn. "Are you finished?"I almost chuckled at Mara's nonchalant demeanor. At this point, Emily's face had turned an ugly shade of red, flushed with embarrassment.She didn't say anything more again, but instead angrily, rushed over to her seat,Watching her took a seat, my eyebrows tightened. She wasn't seating at the opposite side of Alpha Damon, but instead next to him.“...”I watched as she leaned closer to Alpha D
