Alexa's POV“You're dismissed.” I told her and she turned around to leave. I sighed and continued to work in my office while thinking about Zaria North and her straightforwardness. If I did have to say it again, I would. She was a little too strict for me and not in a good way. I really hoped she would relax soon and be just like she used to be before.Even if that did not happen, I would support her to the best of my abilities.That was how strong and capable I qualified myself enough to be. Even if Zaria North cofounded in her newlyfounded stubbornness, I would be the one to bring her out of it, or maybe Arthur would get ahead of me and be the one to snap her out of it.Arthur's POVI was ecstatic that Zaria was back and I couldn't bring myself to hide all of the happiness that I was feeling within me.“How do I do this?” I murmured to myself while pacing around my office to and fro. “How do I make Zaria North like me again? Even the Alpha supports me going after Zaria. How do I do
Arthur's POVI did some work with the few minutes that I had left and once it was 4:30pm, I took a chunk of money from my office drawer. There was no way I was going to let Zaria pay for anything on our date, although I did knew that she would bring her own money and that alone was laughable in my own perspective. I would never let Zaria lift a single finger to pay for anything on her date.I went to Zaria's office and then knocked.“Come in.”Her voice was soothing and calming. I exhaled and then opened the door revealing Zaria. She was sitting behind her desk looking through papers.“I don't understand why you're working hard after just coming back from war.”Zaria shrugged her hands. “it's not the Alpha's option. She told me to get some rest but I prefer working.” Now that sounded like Zaria.I hesitated, not wanting to push her away with my words.“I know you prefer working, Zaria. But would you please go out with me? It would only take one hour.”“Sure.” When Zaria North answere
Arthur's POVHowever, I did not even have the time to convince her because she snatched my truck key from my hand and stormed off.The waiter came over with mine and Zaria's food.He placed it on the table and smiled at me but I couldn't bring myself to smile back. I brought out some money from my pouch and handed it over to the waiter.“Sorry, this seems to be more than enough.” He said after receiving a lot of money from me.“It's okay. Pack up the food in a takeaway bag and send them to me.”“I see, sir.” He said and I nodded, feeling bad about how I'd just ruined my date.Once the waiter was back with the takeaway items, I grabbed it from him and jogged outside only to see Zaria North pull off with my truck. I could only sigh.It would be a long walk back then.“How do I manage to get her to stop being mad at me after I got back?I could only wonder.As was strolling around the marketplace, I saw a fish green necklace.“Come and buy come and buy, good store bought necklaces. Good
Arthur's POVI hesitated at the warrior's words but then I agreed. “Fine but you better make it quick.”We walked outside and then the warrior began to speak.“Gamma you're not going to believe me when I tell you this but the Beta is dead.”I froze up immediately, “What do you mean? Zaria is clearly alive.”“When we were at the battle front, I was trying to find a leeway so I hid somewhere and found the Beta get stabbed by some woman who I'm guessing is a witch.”I felt ridiculed by the warrior, how could he say such words? It didn't make any sense at all. In my opinion, Zaria was just mortified by going to the war front which was why she was probably acting weird. There was nothing wrong with her like I was thinking.“Look,” I told the warrior, “Don't say such rubbish to me again, if you do, I'll report you to your superior.” I said and started to walk away. The warrior gave me a sad look. “B-but,” I could tell that he wanted to say more but I ignored him.“Gamma please wait a bit l
Arthur's POV“Go get my new mother, father. I am telling you.”Tears of joy streamed down my face and I suddenly felt like things were coming together for me.“Oh, you're such a cute little…” I walked over to my son and pulled him into a hug. From now on, we would finally have a family. No more would we be divided or treated in isolation and most importantly, my son wouldn't have to grow alone. He'd have a strong woman to be his mother. I wondered if Zaria North would be pleased with me enough to take my son as hers. I really hoped she would.“Thank you so much, son.” I said. Him speaking to me almost gave me like the strength to continue to push on and to never give up.“I'm grateful for you, my son. I really am.”“Alright, that's enough.” My son pushed me away from his body after a while. “I'd rather continue painting than let you embarrass me with a hug. “You should also spend the extra time trying to court mom rather than get emotional with me in my room.”I pulled away from my so
Arthur's POVWe both headed to my truck and then drove to town. I expected that we would engage in more conversation but that wasn't what happened. But although there wasn't much engagement in our conversation, I enjoyed Zaria's company.Once we finally got to the shop where army gear were sold, I was excited. The shopkeeper approached us and Zaria took hold of the conversation.“How much is an army gear,”“Ma'am our shop has six types. If you don't mind, could you come with me to take a look at it in the storage room?”“Yes,” I answered and walked in the shop with the shopkepper and Zaria. Inside the shop there were multitudes of gears that looked so beautiful and customised.The shopkeeper started introducing the gears to us and then he explained their usages and how much they were worth. After learning these things, I was content because we had achieved our goals for the day which meant that we could spend the remainder of time we had left on other things.As Zaria and I walked ou
Arthur's POVThe next day I was excited that I went to my office to work fo clear up my schedule for the day. I didn't know why I got a positive answer from Zaria but I sure was glad that the answer I got from her was positive.“How have you been?” One of the warriors asked me once they were finally in my office.“Good. What's the latest gist about the warriors?” I looked at the warrior closely for the first time, it was then that I realized that he was a familiar face. He was the one who told me that nonsense about Zaria.“Boss, you have to listen to me.”I sighed. “If it's about that nonsense that you said to me that day then I don't believe you. Get out of my office, I have some work to get to.” I said.“Please Gamma, you might be letting the enemy into our camp. I just came to inform you that I see unfamiliar faces mingle with the rest of us. In Deep into the woods, we warriors know each other's faces but I haven't met anyone like I'm seeing, before.”“Then you haven't mingled ha
Zaria's POV“You look so beautiful, Zaria.” Arthur's son told me and I smiled while nodding, “Thank you.” Then I showed him the ring on my ring finger. “Your father and I are about to get married soon.”He nodded, “I know.”“You know?”“Yes. My father has been stuck up on you from a very long time ago. About time you finally picked up the glasses and tie the knot, you two.”I smiled. Good thing Arthur was stuck up on me that he even let me be alone with his son. Others could call that love but I would call it recklessness. He didn't look at me well enough to know my hidden intentions, so it was his fault that I was doing this to him. He brought all this trouble upon himself. Oh what a pity it was that his son was dying young.“So what do you do after work?” Arthur’s son walked around Zaria and she answered. “I paint.”Arthur's son smiled, “You do? Me too!”‘Even better!’ Zaria thought to herself as the boy walked towards her with a smile on his face.“I would like to see a painting o
