6. Old Thing

~Liam's POV~

I thought that if I stayed in the city, away from my pack for a few days then my aunt would stop bugging me for the same old thing.

But I was wrong...

I guess, now she loves keeping her nose in my personal life.

The continuous rings of my phone irked me so much that I switched off the phone and gave all of my attention to my colleagues sitting in front of me.

At least now she won't be able to call me about the same thing.

"So what do you suggest, Mr Wirght? Should we start the project with Cohens or not?" My colleague, Mr Jones asked me.

"In my opinion, we should wait a little. Their last project failed miserably and now they have taken big investments from Smiths. Let's see what's the result of that investment and project and then will come to a decision," I said.

Others nodded their head in agreement with my words and I saw a waitress coming towards us with a tray filled with food in her hands.

She isn't the one who came to serve wine to us... That waitress... Was different.

And by different I mean she was a werewolf. Her scent told me that she was a werewolf but this new waitress is a human.

I wonder where the previous one went...

"I am noticing that you are thinking about her too much... Do you like her? Because I do..." Leo, my wolf said in my mind.

"You do? How? You said you will not find anyone attractive apart from the one who is made for you," I asked.

How come he found any other she-wolf attractive?

"I didn't say she is attractive," Leo huffed.

"Then? Why do you like her?"

"I don't know... I saw her and liked her... That's it. She felt different."

"Hmm... Maybe because lately, you have been seeing human females a lot around you. Seeing a werewolf's beauty or scent made you miss the shewolves back in our pack," I chuckled.

"Maybe..." He said and faded away in the back of my mind.

I was taking a sip of wine when my mind drifted back to the blonde-haired girl who poured the wine into our glasses and I closed my eyes... She was beautiful...

Her dirty blonde hair was tied in a sleek ponytail with waves at the end, and there was no makeup on her face; only her lips were tinted pink.

She was glowing so much without makeup that she caught my gaze in just a snap which is quite surprising for me as well.

No woman has caught my attention the way she did...

It's not that I am a virgin or I never slept with women, but she... She was different...

I tried to make her look at me but she was so dedicated to her job that she did not bother to spare me a glance.

I chuckled, that's the first time any woman has ignored me like this... I have never been ignored in my life but the way she did was commendable.

"She is a werewolf... She knows you are an alpha and it's not good to look an alpha in the eyes," Leo proudly said.

Yeah... It is.

I took my attention to the steak placed in front of me and was about to take a bite when my colleague Fabian's phone rang, and he glanced at me with furrowed brows, "It's your secretary, Mr Wright."

"My secretary is calling you?" I confusingly asked.

He nodded his head and I told him to pick up the call. I don't know why she is trying to contact him.

"Sorry to disturb you, Mr Fabian, but I need to talk to Mr Wright. His phone is not reachable and there is an emergency," I heard my assistant's voice over the call.

He handed me his phone and bawled my hands into fists; it better be something important; otherwise, she would lose her job today. I hate when my employees try to contact me like this.

"What is it, Amelia?"

"Sorry, sir, for contacting you like this, but your aunt is calling endlessly. I told her that you were in a meeting but she wasn't listening. She wants to talk to you now and as your phone was not reachable, she called on all official numbers. She told me to tell you to call her as soon as possible."

Damn... What the fuck Aunt Charlotte wants to do? Why couldn't she leave me alone for once?

"Fine..." I said and disconnected the call with her.

I excused myself from the table and switched on my phone. There were twenty missed calls from my aunt and five missed calls from my best friend, Victoria.

My hand went to massage my temples, and I sighed; I don't know how and what they will take to let me live peacefully.

Aunt's call again graced my phone and I picked it up with a heavy sigh coming out of my mouth, "I am in a meeting. Why don't you understand?"

"And why don't you understand that this pack is your responsibility and you are my responsibility? Your father left you in my hands, Liam. What I am supposed to tell him, huh?" She complained in a sharp voice.

"You are not obliged to tell him anything. You know he died three years ago. Let it slide for once, I am not a kid," I sighed while trying to suppress my growl.

"You need to come back, Liam."

"Do not order me," I said, my eyes closed and my aura getting higher and higher.

"I am not ordering you, son. I am worried for you and the pack. You need to find the right girl before it's too late. You know a pack gets weaker and weaker without its luna standing beside its alpha." She softly said.

"And I am not late yet. I am only twenty one," I said and gritted my teeth.

Why the fuck she keeps on reminding me of things on which I don't have any control?

She should take a long vacation at some place where there is no network connectivity.

"You will be twenty two next month. And for an alpha with enemies out there who are keeping eagle eyes on his pack, it's late," She sighed.

"I will be the one deciding it," I said and disconnected the call.

Fuck it... I don't want to do what she's suggesting. I want to do it my way.

"But she won't stop until we find the one for us. We can't let her get into our lives, I hate it," Leo growled in my head.

"I know... I don't know in which part of the world our mate is," I sighed in frustration and ran my fingers in my hair.

"Sometimes it takes long to find our mate. I suggest you keep looking for her and shut your aunt's mouth as well," Leo said.

"And how do you think I should do that?"

"Get a wife."

"What?"

Has he gone mad?

"Yes... Get a wife."
