The rain was pouring heavily, but he kept following her faint scent. It felt so far away, making it difficult for him to locate where she could be, but he was still trying his best to find her in the rain as he drove at a high speed.Almost getting to the outskirts of the city, he exclaimed. "Fuck! She's out of the city?"He was surprised. If he wasn't feeling her emotions, he would have guessed she was planning to run away. But he could feel her fear, which was not making him think straight.The scent was getting nearer as he drove into the city. He drove for some minutes again, taking turns until he finally got to where she was. "A warehouse." He scoffed as he got out of the car and walked towards the building. With one heavy kick from him, the metal door pushed open with a loud sound that felt like it would fall to the ground. Seeing her lying on the ground with a man about to unbutton her clothes, he couldn't control the rage in him.His eyes were fiery with anger. He dashed towa
He got out of the car and walked into the house.Amelia, who had also cleaned her face properly, got out of the car. But as soon as she stepped out, she felt a terrible headache and memories of last night came in.It was in fragments, but she tried to bring everything together but failed. The only thing coming to her head was that she heard a loud thunder sound and was crying.She also knew she was in trouble, but because of her friend, she was so sad to think about her punishment from Aiden.She followed him quietly into the house but made sure to leave some distance.They both entered to see Eric pacing up and down in the room. "Good morning, Alpha. I called you all night, but you weren't picking up." He walked up to Aiden, but not before looking at Amelia, who was just looking down at her toes.Aiden did not answer his question or reply to his greetings. "Get the car around. We're leaving in some minutes." He replied with his same cold demeanor, to which Eric also bowed and left t
The next morning, he changed the position he had been lying in bed hours ago before he suddenly opened his eyes and rose up. " Gosh. I feel so tired." He said, weakly.He couldn't sleep till daybreak, and just when he finally felt sleepy. He slept for an hour, which felt like he had only dozed off for a few seconds. It was bothering that he couldn't sleep with his pills, and more bothering for him because he kept thinking about Amelia, no matter how he tries to control himself. "I need to talk to Liam today."He stepped out of his room after preparing for the office, but as he almost got to the stairs, he heard some people talking and laughing in the living room.Maintaining his pace, he walked towards the stairs only to see Jason and Amelia sitting on the same couch in the living room, talking. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't see him as he walked down the stairs and towards them."What the hell are you doing here, Jason?" He asked, surprised he was at h
She went back home, did her chores, and also took a rest until it was finally time to make his dinner.After making his food, she waited hours, longer than the usual time he comes home, but he didn't arrive. "Should I just go to bed?" She thought, but knew that wouldn't end well. "Gosh! I can't believe I'm waiting for someone to come back from work."She sat in the living room, and about some minutes later she was already dozing. She didn't know when she finally slept off, but she only woke up when she heard a sound coming from the door. She quickly stood up. "Good evening." She said to the man who had also walked in, but, as usual, no reply."Your dinner is ready." She said again, but without looking at her, he just walked towards the stairs. "Get me a wine from Eric."Amelia scoffed after he had gone. She also went out of the room and met Eric, who had gotten the wine from the cellar. She got back inside and placed the wine on the dining table with his food while waiting for him.
The air was crisp and clean, filled with the small scent of wildflowers as they stepped onto the 17th hole.As he lined up his putt on the 17th hole, his brother, Jason, tried to distract him. Actually, he had been doing it hours ago, since they started playing golf. Jason suggested they play the game on a weekend, but Liam couldn't make it because he had important work.Aiden also regretted coming because Jason couldn't stop talking and teasing him.He remained unfazed, his eyes locked on the ball, but just as he was about to sink the putt with a thud, he heard. "Did you later manage to sleep with sister-in-law?"Aiden looked at him before he dropped the golf club in his hands."Oh, it looks like you missed the hole." Jason teased, but Aiden was less bothered about that. "What nonsense are you saying? Sister-in-law? Is a patient's case not confidential again? I think I should change my doctor now."Despite the seriousness on his face, Jason was still smiling and finding the situation
He wore a black velvet blazer with a white dress shirt, black trousers, and a silk pocket scarf. He was still having doubts about going to the party, so he just had to wear something less classy. "Is she ready, Donald?" He asked as he walked towards the grand foyer with Donald, the make-up artist behind him."She's almost ready," the man replied.He walked out of the house to see Eric already waiting with an Audi A8 in front of the house. "Good evening, Alpha.""Is Jason still going to the party?" He asked Eric, but the guy couldn't think of an exact answer."I'm sorry, Alpha. I don't know if he will go." Eric answered, but Aiden just sighed. Jason did not send a makeup artist for Amelia like he said, and it got him thinking he wouldn't come.He checked his wristwatch and saw that it was almost seven. All he wanted was just to attend for like an hour and come back home. "Where... Before he could finish his words, he heard the entrance door open, and the lady he had been expecting walk
Mark?! Jason exclaimed as he watched the guy walk into the room and towards them with a smile."Alpha Aiden is also here? What a pleasant surprise." Mark said, spreading his arms wide in excitement as if he were about to hug Aiden, but before he could touch him, Jason came in between them."What are you doing? Get back!" Jason placed his hand on his chest to push him backwards, to which Mark also pushed his hand away. "What's wrong? I'm only greeting the alpha. I haven't done anything wrong." He said, smiling, while his eyes were on Aiden.Aiden was also looking at him, but he did not say a word. Instead, he turned to Elliott. "Looks like I'll leave now. Have a great evening." He wouldn't stay another second in the same space as Mark. He didn't know why he was at the party, but he knew he was up to no good."I'm sorry, Alpha." Elliott replied. Anyone could tell by his expression that Mark came uninvited.He was about to leave the table when Mark almost held his arm. "Touch me, and I'l
He sat in the backseat of the car with Eric, who was sitting in the driver's seat, as they both waited for Amelia to come back with Jason. The only thing on his mind was how to finally let go of the omega.He knew he was doing unreasonable things that needed to stop immediately. He couldn't believe he went with her to a party just so his brother wouldn't. "It all needs to end tonight." He thought, but remembered what Liam had told him. He needed to test if it was possible to sleep well beside her.He walked into the house, past the foyer in the house towards the stairs. He knew he had to say it. Even if he let her go, he should at least try if it was possible. He looked back at her and saw her also gazing at him, but before he could talk, he heard, "About the dress. I'll get it washed and returned to you tomorrow.""Let's sleep together." He said, ignoring whatever she just said about the dress. He saw the way she was staring at him as if trying to process what he had just said.Sudde
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
