Chapter 49Clarissa POV "Wow! My in-law's house is so beautiful," Charity mouths as we walk into the room, and I scoff. I guess you know how we ended here, right? She didn't even wait for me to say it twice when I got home before she said we should pass the night here."You should behave yourself, Charity," I warn her as I sit on the bed. Although I've been here a couple of times, but I've never been to any of the rooms here, not even his room. The guest room is just like those rooms I do see in movies and my imagination. I wasn't expecting something less, anyway. For someone who owns that big company, I expected him to live a luxurious life too."Will he allow us to move in with him permanently? This place is so beautiful that I can do anything to live the rest of my life here. Please just talk to him so we can move in here," She whines as she sits on the bed with me, and I scoff as I roll my eyes."Don't be ridiculous, Charity. He is just my boyfriend, we are not yet married, ok?"
Chapter 50Clarissa POVIt's the weekend today, and since we won't be going to the office, we stayed back at home. Miguel left very early in the morning and told me he was going to attend to something important, and up until now, he is yet to come back. It's just 11am though. After the incident yesterday, I've made up my mind to spend some time here with him and see if anything changes. When he was by my side yesterday, I didn't have that weird dream again nor did I have any fear. I'm scared I will be attacked again if I go home, and this time, I may not be able to survive it.After I have my bath, I head downstairs to join Charity, since she is there, writing her book. As expected, I find her sitting on one of the couches when I get to the living room, as if it's her house. I wonder how she manages to get so comfortable here when it's not even her house or her boyfriend's house."Are you the one dating Miguel or me? You are acting overly comfortable here," I roll my eyes as I sit be
Chapter 51Alpha Miguel POVGoing to the pack today wasn't part of my plan, but I was called to show up urgently and I couldn't just say no. I guess they have something important to discuss with me. Axel will be present too. Since I couldn't just teleport from the house because of Clarissa and her friend, I had to leave in my car like a normal person.The incident from yesterday night replay in my head as I drive down the deserted road, and I can feel my chest hurting. After I felt the pain she was going through yesterday, I couldn't sleep all through the night. It hurts she had to go through all that. I need to find a solution as soon as I can.I arrive at the Pack in less than two hours, and, I head to the throne room where they are said to be waiting for me by now. As I walk inside, they all bow in obeisance but fuck them all and their pretentious selves. I know what they are saying behind me, and not that I care anyway. They are taking advantage of my simplicity and saying shits b
Chapter 52Clarissa POV"Do you need to go, Charity? I'm going to be alone at home," I pout my lips and whine when she told me she is going out with that CEO guy. It's still afternoon, so can't she leave it till evening?"Can't you go in the evening? It should be a dinner date, and not lunch, right?" I try to convince her, but how bad of her to just ignore me and add makeup to her face like she is going to see her boyfriend. Gosh! She is so annoying."You called in-law, and he said he will be here soon, so chill and let me go to this date. Who knows, maybe he wants to see how pretty I am in the afternoon. Besides, it doesn't make sense to go on a date and come back early, knowing we are in someone's house," She finally replies to me, and I sigh. I won't be able to convince her, so I would just have to give up at this point, but what if I get attacked again? What will happen to me? What if I die here before Miguel comes back?"I'll be on my way now, baby. Wish me luck, and pray this en
Chapter 53For the next few seconds, she feels her heart still, her body went numb as she stared at them with fear written all over her. Her fear has finally come true, the thing she has been praying not to ever happen is happening now right under her nose. "Wh...what do you want from me?" She finally manages to gain her voice back after her heartbeat reduces. Slowly, she tilts her head to see Alex, her heart tearing apart as the realization dawns on her that she has just been betrayed by the person that has been presenting himself as her friend."I...I thought we are friends. Who...who are you?" She asks fearfully as she crawls back on the ground, but none of them say anything to her. "You are finally home, my lady. We can now be at peace," Her heart throbs when she heard the demonic voice, and just then, one of them marches forward toward her, and with every step he takes, she feels her heartbeat reducing, her blood pressure dropping drastically, her pulse is reducing, her blood i
Chapter 54Clarissa POVHer heart bangs as she tries to open her eyes, and seeing a blurry figure towering over her, she can't help but panic as the incident from yesterday replay in her headHow everything happened is still like a dream to her, how her beloved boyfriend suddenly turned out to be a werewolf is something crazy she is still finding so very hard to figure out, no matter how much she tries to. It really doesn't make any sense.Her vision finally becomes clear, and her heart skips at the sight that welcomes her. She is alone in the room with Miguel."Babe, are you ok? Are you feeling any pain?" He asks worriedly as he tries to touch her, but she cringes and he pulls away from her. "Get...get away from me... Get away from me, you monster!" She yells at the top of her voice as she manages to sit up on the bed. Her heart is beating rapidly against her chest, her blood pressure suddenly rises, and beads of sweats forms on her forehead. She can't believe that she has been with
Chapter 55It has been two days since the incident happened, and Alpha Miguel hasn't been himself since then. Going to the office every day and finding her spot empty was driving him crazy, having his calls and texts get ignored by him is driving him nuts and making him feel the way he has never felt before.It's Thursday today, and here he is in the office again with everywhere boring. Again, he reaches out for his phone and dials her number with no hope of her answering the call, and as expected, his call was ignored."What should I do?" He mumbles as he drops the phone on the desk and sinks his fingers into his hair, grabbing a handful of it in his palm."Charity..." He mutters as he quickly picks up the phone again, but as the realization dawns on him that he doesn't have her number, he sighs deeply and drops the phone again. Waiting for her to come around is not even an option here, so he is not even considering that. The sound of his ringing phone pulls his attention, and he si
Chapter 56Clarissa POV "Are you kidding me, huh? Did you just say there's nothing wrong with him? He is not a human for crying out loud," I can't believe I'm trying to prove my point to Charity even when the truth is obvious. Has writing about those creatures blinded her so that she can't even think straight? How can she tell me nothing is wrong with that?"I know this is shocking, but come on, you are just making a mountain out of nothing. You are still mad at him, and that's fine, but you are going too far on this. Can't you see you are hurting him? The fact that he is not a human doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings. Do you ever love him?" She snaps at me angrily, and I scoff."Are you kidding me, Charity? Whose side are you on, for crying out loud? You are supposed to be my friend, right?" I yell back at her, and she sighs briefly as she throws herself on the bed."Sides? I'm sorry, but I have to take my in-law's side this time," She rolls her eyes, and I can't help the scoff t
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
