He sat in his office going through a file while his assistant stood in front of him. "It seems you're tired of your job, Eric. How could you keep making the same mistakes?" He asked as he dropped the file back on the table."I'm sorry I... Eric couldn't finish his word because they heard a ruckus coming from behind the door. He looked back at Aiden before walking swiftly towards the door to check who it is.As he opened the door and stepped out, immediately he was pushed back in by Mark, who entered the room."Alpha Aiden. How have you been?" He asked with a smile as he entered the room, but Eric tried to stop him. "Let go of me! Do you know who I am?!" He screamed at Eric, but still, the guy didn't pay attention to that. He was more focused on sending him out before the alpha would get angry.Aiden motioned for Eric to leave him. "You never listen, do you? You still have the guts to come into my office.""Are you angry at me? I thought you would like my gift. Looks like you didn't."
After Patricia left, she also went to her room. To her, it was still early to sleep. She lay on her bed for hours, thinking. "I have a wolf, and now it's leaving me. Just nice." Even though she would have the chance to continue school, she couldn't help but feel Patricia's suggestion might not work.She rolled on the bed many times, but she couldn't sleep. It was almost midnight when she left her room to get water in the kitchen. As she walked out of her room, she realized the lights were already dimmed. It was not too dark for her to walk.She managed to walk down the stairs, but as she was about to go towards the kitchen, she felt a strange thing in the sitting room. It was a strange feeling as if someone were sitting there and staring at her. She felt strange chills run through her body. She couldn't run, nor could she say a word. Her phone was with her, and she couldn't press it.She was so scared, thinking a thief might have entered the house. Not once did she think it might be a
He knotted his tie as he looked at himself through the mirror. He noticed his undereyes were a bit puffy. He couldn't sleep well after he overcame his tipsy state last night. He kept thinking about Amelia's face throughout the night. "I must be going crazy," He whispered. All of a sudden, his phone rang, and it was his mother. "Good morning, Mother." He said."Aiden. Good morning. How was your night?"He heard her ask. He could sense her happiness through her voice. And he knew it was something he wouldn't like. "What do you want, mother?" He asked."Come for dinner tonight. Your brothers will also be coming.""I'm busy, mother. I can't make it." He said it with a tone of exhaustion."Don't give me that again, Aiden. It's just dinner." Aiden heard, but he did not say a word. It has been a long time since he did all those kinds of things. Having dinner in the pack's house. "Ok, fine... inform Amelia about the dinner. Jason will pick her up." He didn't give it a second before he aske
Jason took her home. He had informed her that the luna invited her for dinner in the pack’s house and she had to be there. It was not enough getting a threat note. Now she would go to the pack's house to have dinner with the luna. She was about to go in when she spun around. It was as if Jason also knew she wanted to say something. He got out of the car. "I'm sorry, but is there a way to refuse this? I'm not feeling well." She said, smiling lightly, but stopped when Jason was just looking at her. Suddenly, he placed a hand on her forehead. "Are you sure? You don't look sick. Maybe we should go see Liam, then?" He turned around to enter the car, but Amelia quickly stopped him. "No. I didn't... it just... she couldn't complete her words when she heard Jason chuckle. She felt embarrassed, and she had to look away from him."You don't have to be scared. It's just dinner." Amelia gave him a nod, even though she wasn’t fully convinced.Jason left, and she walked into the house. She wante
She looked at the gate as the guards pushed it open. Even though she had been here before and had seen the Luna before, she couldn't shake the nervous feeling in her.The car drove into the compound and stopped in front of the house. She got out of the car after a man standing at the end of the grand entrance stairs walked up to her and opened the door. "Good evening, my lady.""Good evening. Thank you." She felt uncomfortable, but she bowed her head and smiled."Welcome, young master." The man faced Jason, who had also gotten out of the car and walked up to them."Good evening, Robert. Is dinner ready?" Jason asked with a smile, to which the man also smiled back. "Yes. Let's go in."As if it wasn't embarrassing enough, Jason stretched his hand to her and smiled. "Let's go, my lady."She sighed inwardly. She could have easily rejected his hand, but she had no choice. The heels wouldn't allow her to do that unless she wants to embarrass herself more.The house loomed before her, its ex
They all looked shocked as he entered the room."You finally came," Jason said, breaking the silence."Aiden, oh my goodness. I can believe it," Vera said. She stood up and hugged him. Her eyes were almost teary as she stared at him. "Get another plate, please." She told the maids."I thought you were not coming," Jason said with a smile, but Aiden knew he was teasing him. He did not bother to say a word; he just sat beside Liam, gazing at Amelia, who was looking so uncomfortable. He only took his eyes off her when Jason added. "It seems Aiden also couldn't get enough of your beauty, Amelia. He seems lost."Amelia was so embarrassed. Jason was making everything worse for her, and the other two people in the room weren't helping either. They chuckled as he made his jokes. She thought she would get swallowed by the ground. But luckily for her, it didn't happen. Liam came to her rescue. "It's okay now, Jason. You can do this after eating.She finally eased up a bit, but she kept looking
He had to leave the room when he felt like he might suffocate soon. He walked towards the garden to get some fresh air. Weird things he couldn't give explanations to keep happening to him. He came to have dinner in the pack's house after a long time, for no good reason. And he couldn’t eat well because he couldn't stop staring at Amelia.He even remembered how she was smiling while eating, and that almost brought a smile to his lips. He got to a shed in the garden and took a seat for some time until Jason joined him there. "What are you doing here? Are you feeling hot?" Jason asked with a teasing smile, but Aiden did not say a word or spare him a glance."Is this because of my sister-in-law? Isn't she looking so pretty?" "I told you not to call her that again," Aiden snapped, to which Jason raised his hands. "Ok. I'm sorry." He sat next to him, and silence filled the air for some time until Aiden asked. "You bought the dress?"Jason looked at him. He wasn't expecting such a question.
"Are you sure you don't want to have dessert before going?" Vera asked, holding Amelia's hand.Liam and Jason had gone, leaving only her and Aiden. She didn't want to follow Aiden home, but she had no choice, especially when Jason had gone because he had important work. She felt Liam couldn't do anything to hurt Aiden, so she didn't do anything, even though that didn’t stop her from wondering what he wanted to do with the fork.The car had been brought to the driveway, and she was bidding her goodbye while Aiden stood beside the car, looking at them."I'm sorry, Luna." She apologized, to which Vera also smiled. "Ok.""And I'm also sorry about the wine.""How many times do you want me to say it's okay? Stop worrying about that." Vera smiled before looking at Aiden. "Thank you for coming. Get home safe.""Good night, Mother." He said before entering the car. Amelia smiled at Vera one last time before she turned around to enter the car. Her stomach churned at the thought of sitting in th
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
