His Fifth Mate 17
Chapter 17Alpha Miguel POVAs the time drives near, I can't help but feel nervous. We haven't spoken to each other all day, and I didn't even go to her house to pick her up for work today. I was so nervous and I didn't want to be alone with her, and spending the whole day together in the office makes me feel so nervous.The long time finally arrives, and I become even more nervous. We finally close from work, and I drive us to the place we were supposed to have our dinner date. We didn't spend much time on the road before we got to the restaurant."Do you like the food?" She asks as she watches me eat, and I slowly nod my head. She should be acting this way, and not me, but I can't even help it. The mate bond is making me feel like a fool around her, and I don't even know what to do."So, I was saying something on the phone yesterday. So, why don't we get to know each other? You know you already know my friend, how about I know yours? Oh, I'm sorry, you told me you don't have one..."
His Fifth Mate 18
Chapter 18Alpha Miguel POVOne month laterThe past one month have been difficult for me and also been one of the best months of my life. I have developed feelings for Clarissa, and she has been a good girlfriend to me. Well, my people kept pestering me to get a woman again, but I don't really know if I'm ready for this. I'm still scared about the curse. What if she goes like others? I can't afford to take another life again, which is what I've been emphasizing since.It's a beautiful Sunday morning, and since I have nowhere to go, I decided to stay at home and get some rest. I have been avoiding the Pack since they won't stop talking about my mate each time I went there.After I had a long relaxing bath in the bathroom and walk back into my room, I find my phone screen light on, with a message displayed on the screen."Did I get a mail from the company?" I mumble as I walk over to the bed and pick up the phone while drying my hair with a towel. I stop when I see that the message is
His Fifth Mate 19
Chapter 19Clarissa POVI glance at him for the fifth time, and I can't help the scoff that tears through my throat. I couldn't sleep all through the night yesterday, well, all thanks to my boyfriend, or should I say my boss? And to think he was going to run after me and plead with me yesterday but he didn't do it, made me feel less loved. I mean, if he wanted me, he would've run after me and tried to calm me down, yeah?"Annoying jerk!" I mumble and scoff as I glance at him again, and find him working on his desktop. It's crazy how he came to the office this morning and didn't even talk about yesterday like nothing happened. As much as I don't want to keep up with this bullshit anymore, I think I have fallen so deeply in love with him that I can't even imagine myself doing away with him. But wait a minute! Does it change anything? It doesn't even seem to me like we are in a relationship."Just forget it, Clarissa. Focus on work, and everything will fall in place," I glance at him one
His Fifth Mate 20
Chapter 20Clarissa POVMy day at the office was well spent, and it's finally time to go home. "Do you mind if I drop you off?" I raise my gaze to find him standing inside my office and staring at me with a questioning expression on his face."No, don't worry. I will just take a cab home," I quickly turn down his offer, and he slowly nods his head as he stares at me for seconds."Alright. See you tomorrow then," He utters before he strides out of the office, not sparing me another glance. I just feel like going home by myself today. It has been a while since I last went home alone, and I think I want to give it a try today.I finally round up for the day and leave the office to go home. Strolling on the road and getting fresh air is so much fun, and I reached the bus stop before I know it.As I wait at the bus stop for the bus to arrive, many thoughts flood my mind, which includes Carl. I can't deny that I missed him so much over the years, but Miguel is slowly replacing him and taki
His Fifth Mate 21
Chapter 21Clarissa POV"Why didn't you tell me Carl is here?" I ask Charity once we are inside the room together, but she only shrugs after she glances at me as if I just asked a stupid question."Because he asked me not to...""And you think it was right not to tell me? What if Miguel and I had come home together? How do you think he would feel?" I yell at her angrily, and she shrugs."He won't feel anything. Carl is your ex-boyfriend and not your current boyfriend. You could've just introduced them to each other, and made it known to Carl that you have a man already. Well, not that he mentioned he wanted you back anyway," She utters sarcastically, and I sigh briefly. "Ugh! Why the hell am I even talking to you?" I groan angrily as I stand up and dash into the bathroom, slamming the door hard behind me. I don't know why I'm so angry, I don't know if it's because Carl was here, or the fact that my crazy friend didn't inform me about it. Why the hell was he even here? What did he wan
His Fifth Mate 22
Chapter 22Alpha Miguel Silence assumes the atmosphere as I drive us to work later. I glance at her occasionally, and each time, the glance would always comes with a scoff. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm pissed for no good reason. Seeing the way the young man was looking at her earlier, made my heart sting painfully. How dare he stare at our mate like that? Was he seeking death?"Do you want to talk about anything?" I ask her after I glance at her, but she shakes her head instead as she stares out of the window, and I sigh briefly. I don't need anyone to tell me that she must be thinking of that human. Does she still love him? Is she thinking of leaving me and going back to him now that he's back? I'm scared, extremely scared to the bone. Afraid of keeping her by my side, but more terrified of losing her. I'm in the middle of the ocean and I don't know if I should save myself, or drown in this darkness."Carl... When did he come back?" It's irritating me as I call his name, but I can
His Fifth Mate 23
Chapter 23Clarissa POVBefore lunchtime, my phone rang and when I answered it, I realized that it was Carl, and he told me he was in our company's premises. I mean, why the heck was he here? I left my office a few minutes before lunchtime, and I saw him parked outside our gate once I stepped out."What are you doing here, Carl?" I asked him earlier once I got to where he was standing."Uhm... I came to see you," He had replied to me, and I felt like crying. Miguel will be so pissed if he finds him here."Can we talk later when I get home from the office? This is my workplace, and you can't just show up here like that. It's not right," I tried to convince him so he would go back, but he didn't seem like he would listen to me, since he insisted that we have lunch together so we could talk over there."What is going on here?" The voice I've been scared of hearing finally speaks up behind me, and I freeze on the spot. Shit! I thought he won't leave his office since he never does, so what
His Fifth Mate 24
Chapter 24Carl POVThe last three years without her in my life have made me feel so empty that I always wished I could turn back the hands of time. I know I don't deserve to show my face to her after everything that transpired between us in the past. I should've fought for her and made sure I kept her by my side, I shouldn't have ever left her, but I was scared she'd get hurt around me.When I saw her yesterday, I knew that I was still in love with her. I can never let her go, no matter how much I try to."How have you been?" I know I have no right to ask her that, but I still did, anyway. I just want to get rid of the silence that assumed the atmosphere."I'm good," She replies to me casually, and I nod my head briefly. I have so many things to say to her, but I'm a bit scared she would get mad at me. Silence creeps in afterward since I don't even know what to say to her again."Why did you come back?" She suddenly asks out of the blue, and I glance at her before I pull over at the

His Fifth Mate 68
Chapter 68 Axel POV The last few days have been the worst days of my life, and I've been trying to sort everything out, but the more complicated it got. Oliver moved in to stay with me even though I didn't agree to it. She insisted she wanted us to get back together and that she was ready for me now. All the time she was away, she never had a girlfriend because she knew that I was here. Well, that was what she told me, but she wasn't expecting me to believe that, right? Even if she was saying the truth, I never asked her to wait for me. We fucking broke up, and she has no right to come back to my life, right? 'Just let me stay here, Axel. I have nowhere to go. I came here because of you, where do you expect me to go stay?' she asked me when insisted she must leave. Did I forget to mention that she was not from my Pack but from a neighboring Pack? As much as I didn't want her to stay back here, she wouldn't listen to me and insist. As I drove Charity to the cafe where o
His Fifth Mate 67
Chapter 67 Clarissa POV It has been three days since I law saw Miguel, and it's crazy how he didn't even bother to come here to check up on me. Does he ever love me? "You asked him to stay the hell away from you, Clarissa. What the hell are you saying?" My subconscious mind reminded me, and even though I asked him to leave me alone, he could still come around and check up on me, knowing that I would miss him, right? "My boyfriend is coming to pick me up for a tour. Do you want to come with us?" Charity asked me as she walked back into the room with a white towel wrapped around her chest, and I rolled my eyes. She just finished bathing and probably going to leave very soon. "No, I'm not interested," I replied to her flatly, and she nodded her head. I guess she got tired of talking to me about Miguel, so she stopped doing it. Missing him was something I couldn't deny. I always craved to see him every damn second I thought I was going to lose my mind if I don't see her.
His Fifth Mate 66
Chapter 66 Axel POV "Are you ok?" I ask Miguel, seeing the way he was looking all sad. I needed no one to tell me that this was probably because of his mate. Did she break up with him? I asked myself, but quickly dismissed the thoughts, recalling he told me earlier that they were going to meet. "I'm not fine, Axel. What should I do? She quit with her job and broke up with me," He sighed deeply as he reclined on the couch, and I ran my fingers through my hair. This was something I couldn't handle and didn't know how to comfort him. He was looking extremely sad like he just lost someone, and I could understand what he was feeling. Those chiefs at the Pack would frustrate life out of him if he didn't provide his mate at the appointed date. "What should I do? You know I can't let her go, right?" He said, and I nodded my head. Aside from being mates, one thing I've come to notice with the two is that he was really in love with her. The mate bond aside, Miguel was madly in l
His Fifth Mate 65
Chapter 65Clarissa POV After hanging out together, he insisted he wanted to drop me off at home, which I didn't even tried to protest because of how scared I am. What if I bump into those people on my way? I asked myself when I wanted to protest, and I end up allowing him to drop me off."Good night," He smiles at me when he drops me off at the front of my apartment, and I roll my eyes as I turn and start walking inside. I miss his embrace, so can't he fucking hug me even if it's just for seconds? I huff angrily, and just then, he hugs me from behind, and my heart flutters.We remain like that for the next two minutes, and I can't help but want more of this. I know I miss him so much, I want to tell him how much I've missed him, and how much I want him back in my life so badly, but whenever I think about his identity, I can't help but cringe. He is not a human for goodness sake. I would always remind myself, giving me all the reasons to hold back. I mean, this is not a movie or one
His Fifth Mate 64
Chapter 64Clarissa POV It's almost closing time, and I can't just wait to get the hell out of here, because it feels so awkward. For some reason, I find myself regretting telling him that. I know it's crazy, but I still fucking love him. Maybe I shouldn't have told him to stay miles away from me, and he is not even talking to me since morning. "Wow! Such a petty jerk!" I curse under my breath after I glance at his office and he is already getting ready to leave his office. Don't tell me he is leaving before closing time. I quickly turn my gaze away when I spot him coming out of his office."Uhm... We have an urgent meeting to attend now. You should come with me," He utters once he walks into my office, and I almost scoff, but recalling that we are officially having a boss-employee relationship, I decided to sulk it in and respect him as my boss."Yes, Sir," I reply to him and switch the desktop off before I stand up to my feet."Sir, do I need to take anything with me?" I raise my
His Fifth Mate 63
Chapter 63Clarissa POV "You're here?" I bet he is excited, but wait! Don't tell me he was going to hug me. That's crazy."Hmm. Let's talk," I utter rudely as I head toward his office, and sit on the visitor's chair once I walk inside. I can't deny that I've really missed this place. It has just been a few days since I was last here, and I've missed it so much. What if I decided to quit? I don't think I will be able to hang on. I may lose my mind."Now, that's too pretty to be true," My subconscious mind reminds me, and I roll my eyes. My heart skips when I hear his thick footsteps in the office, but I try to remain calm."Babe...""Don't call me that," I cut him off, avoiding his eyes, and I hear him sigh."Fine! I'm sorry," He utters in a low tone that I can barely hear him. I watch as he walks over to his seat and sits on the chair."Uhm... Have you eaten before coming here? Do you want me to get you something to eat?" He asks as she clasps his fingers together, and I scoff."I'm
His Fifth Mate 62
Chapter 62Clarissa POVI woke up quite early today and decided to bathe, since Charity has taken care of the chores as usual. I can't hide the fact that I'm excited about meeting Miguel today, but then, it still doesn't change the fact that he is not a human."You are only going there because Charity insisted," I remind myself as I look at my reflection in the mirror. I'm currently alone in the room, sinks Charity is preparing breakfast in the kitchen. I told her I wasn't hungry, but insisted that I eat before I leave the house. After I'm done getting dressed, I finally leave the room and head to the kitchen, but luckily, she is already in the dining room, dishing out the food."Perfect timing. Come here, come and have a seat. You will love the food I made," She smiles at me as she pulls out the chair for me to sit on, and I roll my eyes."What's with that now? Is there something you are not telling me?" I pull a puzzled look, but she shakes her head before she goes to stand behind m
His Fifth Mate 61
Chapter 61Axel POVI watch as Miguel smiles excitedly, and even though I've not asked him what's with the expression yet, I know it has to do with his mate. Are they going to settle things? Are they getting back together? Well, I have no answer to those questions.I got a call earlier while at the restaurant that my sister got involved in a fight with someone at a friend's party, and I had to rush down there to check on her. Yes, I have a little sister, although we don't live together. Jessica is my twenty years little sister who left the Pack and decided to live on her own after she turned eighteen. We only got to see each other once in a blue moon, and guess what! She's a writer. I can count how many times we've seen each for the past two years since she left the Pack. She's always busy, and the same with me. I have no idea what caused the fight between her and the girl, but from what a source heard they were fighting over a man. Over a fucking bastard!"What's with that smile?" I
His Fifth Mate 60
Chapter 60Clarissa POV "Come on, you should call him already," Charity says for the fifth time since we got home. She is sitting on the edge of the bed after she had her bath, and I just came out of the bathroom too."I told you I will do that when I'm about to sleep," I reply to her as I take the hand drier and set to dry my hair."Come on, just do that now. I will help you dry your hair when you are done. Do you want me to massage your back for you? Where is it hurting? Is it here? Here? Or here?" She asks as she touches my shoulders, and I shake my head."Fine, just get away from me. I will call him now," I push her off lightly, and she smiles."Alright. I will help you get your phone," She utters before she walks over to the bed and picks up the phone."Here, sweetheart," She grins from ear to ear as she hands me the phone, and I roll my eyes as I snatch it from her."Do you really think it's a good idea to call him this time? It's past 11pm, you know? I can leave it till tomorr
