"You have a meeting by eleven a.m., sir." His assistant said as they entered the office. "Cancel it. I'm not in the mood for any meetings right now." For the first time, they got to the office late. It was almost time for his important meeting, but still he told him to cancel it, which shocked Eric, his assistant. But sir... He couldn't finish his words when Aiden snapped. "Seriously Eric! Do you need me to come open your ears and scream into them before you do what I told you?" "I'm sorry, sir." He said and quickly ran out when he heard. "Leave." He was already having a headache thinking about the problem he had gotten himself into, and he wasn't ready to deal with his assistant's nonsense again. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe what this omega has gotten me into. Did she think I'm weak like her?" he said, rubbing his hair before looking up. He knew that she had saved him, and that was the mistake she made. She had come closer to him when he wasn't himself, which made him mark her
"Come again. The housekeeper, what?" He asked, to which Eric also swallowed hard before saying. "I was told the housekeeper beat her until she passed out."He suddenly found a rage growing inside him. It felt like he wasn't in control of himself. "The housekeeper dared to beat her? Get the doctor first, and bring that woman to me now." He said. His tone denoted how angry he was feeling. Eric also ran out immediately.He was so angry, but he still managed to control himself and sit. The confidence she had to beat her was what pissed him off the most. Not long after, the door opened, and the woman entered with Eric and a guard behind her.Ms. Jones knelt on the floor with her face down. She knew she was in trouble with the way the Alpha was looking at her, but still, she couldn't help but have a little confidence that he wouldn't do anything to her."I heard you discipline my maid. Why is that?" Aiden asked calmly. It took everything in him just to be as calm as he was, despite how angr
She ran to the living room, but she didn't find anyone there. "Has he gone to work? No, it's still early." She said to herself, looking up the stairs. "Should I go to his room?" She thought, but she remembered what brought her into trouble. He could kill her if she dared knock on his door.The nurse said as she walked down the stairs and walked towards her. "Ma'am, you need to come back to the room.""I'm sorry. I just need to see the Alpha real quick." She said, but the nurse wasn't ready to hear her out. She knew the consequences of what the doctor, who would soon be there, would do to her if they found the patient not receiving treatment. Amelia also wasn't ready to listen to her, causing the both of them to argue loudly with each other."What the hell is going on here?" They both stopped immediately when they heard the stern voice and looked up to see him walking down the stairs with his assistant behind him. He was surprised to see her already up. He looked at her, examining her
He walked into the tall building of the flea corporation, built with beautiful glass walls. The employees who met him on the way greeted him with a bow, but he didn't reply; he just walked towards the special elevator for only the president and vice president with his assistant behind him."Is Jason coming today?" He asked as he stepped into the elevator, and his assistant pressed the last floor button. "I don't think so, sir.""That will make it a week now, right?" He asked again, to which his assistant nodded. Another problem in his life was his brother. He is the vice president, but he only comes to the office once in a while, making a lot of work for him to do.And no matter how much he talked to him and persuaded him, he just didn't listen. He wished Liam could have gone into business instead of studying medicine. "Remind me we're going to his house today. And don't contact him about it." He said.The elevator opened, and they both stepped out. Only a few people work on the last
Her treatment was stopped, and the nurse left the house. She was angry as she accepted her fate and went to do her chore of cleaning his room. "I should be planning my life right now, but no. I'm here scrubbing toilets." She complained loudly as she cleaned. She didn't even know whether she was angry at herself or him.Suddenly, she dropped the brush and stood up to look at herself through the bathroom mirror. She removed the scarf she had used to cover the mark on her. "You shouldn't have signed that contract, Amelia. You wouldn't have ended up like this." She said to herself, rubbing the mark as if to wipe it off."He would have killed my family if I hadn't." She sighed. "But how can I persuade him? Begging can't do it again, especially when I can't even control the anger happening to me lately." She thought for a long time, trying to come up with any ideas to persuade him, but couldn't find anything.After cleaning, she left the room to go prepare breakfast in the kitchen. She was
"Red forest?" She asked to be sure she heard him right, to which Aiden also replied. "What's wrong? You can't go."Amelia was quiet, lost in thought. How could she venture into a forest filled with a variety of evil and poisonous plants? And the fact that some dark, evil witches reside there makes it a difficult place to survive, especially for a weak wolf like her. No human or wolf ever made it out of there alive, except the wolf, who is powerful. She would have to do it. It's her only chance. "But why would he want a plant from the red forest?" She thought. She was pushed out of her thoughts when she heard, "I guess you're not interested..."No. I'll do it." She quickly said, only to see the man with a hint of surprise on his face before he covered it with a cold expression."You only have two hours, and to be more pitiful to you, a driver will drop you at the entrance of the forest. You find your way back." He said before picking up his phone to check the time. "Your time starts n
"What do we have here?" The guy said, holding the red-haired girl's wrist with his hand while the other held her chin to give a clearer view of her face. He let go of her and also walked towards Amelia, who was already shivering in fear."Intruders in the red forest. What could have brought you to your graves?" One of the ladies asked with a smile as she walked towards both of them. She looked at the red-haired girl, who was carrying a cross bag, which she knew must contain something of theirs, and also at the other girl, who was hiding a hibiscus behind her back."Should I just shove that flower in your mouth?" She asked, looking at Amelia, who was just looking down on her knees in fear.Amelia noticed how the girl took a step forward towards her, and she couldn't help the tears that ran out of her eyes. She was helpless, and the only thing she could think of was that she would die soon. There was no way a weak, helpless wolf like her could fight the dark witch, who was staring at he
She hurried into the house in the hopes that luck was on her side and that her time didn't run out. Entering the house, she saw him in the same spot she left him. All his attention was on his phone; he didn't even look at her, despite knowing she was already standing in front of him."He's not even worried?" She thought, but didn't say a word or stress herself to think about it. She dropped the plant, covered with a small white cloth, on the table. "Here it is. I got the plant just as you wanted." She said, still looking at him as he kept scrolling through his phone without looking at her or the flower on the table.She got furious, but she was still holding everything in. She waited for about a minute until he dropped the phone beside him and finally looked at the flower. He looked at it for a while before he stood up and said, "Dispose it."Amelia was shocked. She looked at the man, who had turned her back towards her and was going towards the stairs. "Dispose it?" She couldn't beli
He got home late in the night. He entered the house to see Carrie sitting in the living room, pressing her phone. "Aiden, you're back." She stood up to hug him as he walked towards her.Aiden just stood without wrapping his arms around her. He pushed her back gently. "It's late. You should be in bed already.""I was waiting for you. Change first and come back downstairs to have dinner."He stopped in his tracks. There was only one person that do wait for him to have dinner, no matter how late he was, and he didn't even eat it often. Everything happening to him kept reminding him of her. She would leave soon, and he wouldn't see her again. That was what he wanted, but why does it make his heart feel heavy? Thinking about it made him feel so uncomfortable. Without looking at Carrie, he said. "I don't like eating dinner this late. Good night."She watched him until she couldn't see his back view anymore. She scoffed angrily. "You have nowhere you can run to, Aiden. You're only mine."
"Is this the time you wake up every morning? Starving hungry? What is he paying you for when you can't wake up early to cook breakfast?" Carrie asked, folding her arms in front of her chest. She sounded angry at the same time, smiling. Her actions could make anyone confused.Amelia walked slowly towards her. "Oh my goodness! Your neck. You're the girl. Pardon me for my mistake. I mistook you for a maid." She said, covering her mouth with her hands as though she were surprised.She stretched her hand towards Amelia in a handshake. "I'm Carrie Wills." But before Amelia's hand could touch hers, she moved her hand away, making Amelia's hand hang in the air."I didn't expect this. You don't look like anything I imagined." She said, looking at Amelia from her head to her toes. "That was why I mistook you as a maid. You're a maid. There is nothing to apologize for." Carrie laughed.Amelia was so angry. She was shocked when she saw a lady in the living room as she walked down the stairs. She
He paced up and down in the lobby as the doctor attended to her. Not too long later, the door opened, and a doctor came out of the room.He hurried towards the doctor. "How is she, and the baby?""They're both fine. Your wife inhaled a lot of smoke, but she's fine. Please monitor her more. She's in a delicate state." The doctor smiled.Aiden did not say anything. He felt relieved that she and the baby were okay. Ever since he learnt about the baby, he had changed. He wasn't sure he was ready to be a father, but he didn't want to abandon his unborn child. For the past week, he would create time to accompany Carrie to the hospital. He was ready to do any tests and attend any lesson. He's cold, and he's angry at Carrie, but he wouldn't abandon his child.He wanted to correct the doctor that she wasn't his wife, but he let go of it. What would he say she is to him? Girlfriend? Mate?"Can I go in?" He asked, to which the doctor nodded.He opened the door and walked into the room. She was m
It was her mid-exam week. She focused on reading and writing her exams well. Seeing the magazine with Aiden finally got her to sort out her thoughts. She wouldn't be selfish to separate and destroy someone's family. He will soon be a father, and it's only right that she keeps her distance. She had been planning to move out immediately after she sorts the breaking of the mate bond between them. She had finished her exams, and a few days later, it was Christmas. She didn't even have plans for how to celebrate it. Aiden was right. It was for humans. She sat in her room all day on Christmas Eve. Vera called her on Christmas Day for ice skating. She wanted to reject the offer, but she felt it was too much for her to say. She couldn't reject the Luna. She also felt she would feel okay if she left the house.There were a lot of people in the skating field, but despite that, it was fun. Vera was grazing the floor while Amelia kept trying to balance herself, but she kept falling.Vera made
He waited for her to say something, but nothing was coming out of her, not even a movement. He continued. "She came back around three weeks ago. And..." he found it hard to say. "She's pregnant."The towel she was holding around her body fell to the ground. As if the revelation of her coming back wasn't enough, she's pregnant.He had met her three weeks ago, and she's now pregnant. He had been distant. Is it because of her? Because he had seen and reunited with his first mate."You... you're going to be a father?" She asked.He nodded. "It's complicated... She's still my mate." Hearing this, she couldn't hide her tears anymore. It felt like her heart ripped into pieces. He said she was his mate. What about her? Tears ran out of her eyes. She tried to wipe it off, but it didn't stop. The girl who had left him was back. She didn't know about her, but she heard rumours. His first mate. And now soon-to-be mother of his child. She was back to take her place. She was just a substitute. Th
He couldn't breathe, couldn't think. All he could do was sit there with his eyes closed, surrounded by the suffocating silence of the water.He was confused and frustrated. It was a Friday, and he was supposed to be at work, but he had to take a break, especially after what he heard last night.He was trying to solve the matter of the two fated mates at hand when another came in. He wasn't even sure he was ready to be a father, especially after the issue with Carrie. She left him without a word, and he was still angry about that.Speaking of Amelia. She's also his mate, and even though he didn't want to understand how that was possible, a part of him didn't want to let her go. He wasn't sure of his feelings, but he knew he was attracted to her.He was still underwater when he suddenly heard a loud sound. Someone had entered the pool. He swam up to the surface, angry someone had the guts to enter his special pool. Just when he was about to get to the surface, he noticed the person was
"Alpha, Ms. Carrie is here to see you," Eric announced as he entered the room. He wouldn't have come to inform him, but since she works for the investee company, he had no choice.Aiden looked up at him. "Let her in." There was no reason to avoid her, especially after what had happened the night before."Yes, sir," Eric replied before leaving the room. After some minutes, a knock came from the door. He asked the person to come in, and she walked in. She wore a V-line neckline red dress that stopped on her thighs. "Good morning," she said with a smile, walking towards his chair. "Sit down." He said with no emotion, but Carrie still kept smiling. She sat in her chair opposite him. "How are you doing?" She asked. "What do you want? Did Mr. Bates send you here?" Aiden asked, but to his surprise, Carrie burst out into laughter. She flipped her hair to the back and asked. "Do I look like I'm here for business? I came here as Carrie, not Miss Carrie.""Then I'm busy. I don't have any time
"Who comes to a training facility this early morning?" Liam asked, looking around the empty room. He didn't get any reply from the guy, who was already sweating a lot because he had been hitting the punching bag for over an hour.Aiden suddenly called him to come, and he knew something was bothering him only for him to get there and be treated as if he was invisible. He asked him if he would box with him, but he declined. He left the hospital to join him, and he would go back to the hospital so he couldn't afford to destroy his clothes. Aiden, on the other hand, was wearing a shirt and suit pants, but still, he was in the ring boxing like he was training for a fight. To think he didn't even have a bath and was still in his last night's wear. Finally, he stopped. He removed his boxing gloves and left the ring. Liam handed him a bottle of water as he took a seat beside him.He also took it and drank it until he almost emptied the bottle. "Do you feel okay now?" Liam asked, but Aiden
The next morning, they didn't see or meet each other, not to mention eat breakfast. He went to work as usual and did his normal routine, even though he still couldn't get the thoughts of having two mates out of his mind. He didn't understand why Carrie would just come back after a few months and still be his mate. He never rejected their bond, but he never thought the bond might still be there when he had already marked Amelia. He didn't know what he could do even though he and Amelia had planned to break the bond. He was uneasy with the thought of it. And even if he breaks the bond with Amelia, he can't act like things are fine with Carrie.He stopped working when Eric came to inform him it was time to leave for the party. Work had ended hours ago, but he stayed back in the company to attend the party, and he was uncomfortable going home.The party was held at a big hotel in the city. He walked into the large room filled with different people, dressed in different classy suits and
