The next morning. She felt better. She was happy she had no class that day, and the next day was the weekend. She could sleep well for hours before doing her daily chores. She was sure Aiden would have left for work, and that was a perfect time for her to sleep. Speaking of Aiden, she saw a different side of him last night. Even though it felt weird to her, she liked it. She kept talking about her life nonstop, and he just listened.She was in thought, blushing, but it was soon disturbed when she heard a loud knock on her door. She opened it to see it was one of the maids, and she came to inform her about a doctor waiting for her.She was surprised, but she went anyway. She realised Aiden eventually sent the doctor to check her ankle. Having no choice, the doctor examined her. Bandaged her ankle and gave her some drugs she'll use. "He's just worried about me. Nothing more." She told herself. She didn't want to get her hopes so high. Even though she hated him before, he had changed
She wore a casual top and trousers. She knew it was time to leave if they wanted to make it to the cinema early, but she was so nervous she couldn't step out of the room. "Gosh, why are my palms so sweaty?" She paced around the room for some time before she finally mustered the courage to leave her room.She passed by his room, but she didn't bother to knock because she thought he might be busy. She walked down the stairs only to see him in the living room, sitting with one leg crossed on the other.He stood up and walked towards her. "I've been waiting for you. Can we go?" He asked, but Amelia could not reply. She just nodded her head lightly. It's not like she was just seeing him wear casual clothes, but he looked different to her that night. His fresh cologne was inhaled immediately as he walked closer to her and erased everything on her mind. She just walked behind him till they got outside. And just when she thought she could breathe, he walked towards the driver's seat. That w
"You said you wanted to share a bed with me... Why is that?"Amelia was surprised at his question. Exactly what they fought about recently. The reason he was asking all of a sudden was something she didn't understand. "Well, you said you couldn't sleep without someone there by your side. And it's true I overheard your conversation with your brothers. But I didn't suggest that because I pitied you."She paused before looking away from him to avoid his stare. "You worry and do things for me, and I also wanted to do it back. It's not good to have insomnia for a long time.""Some people deserve it, accompanied by a lack of peace of mind." He retorted, but Amelia could not say a word. She just stared at him with a series of emotions, most especially confusion. He looked like he was trying to say something, and she wanted to ask, even though she still didn't want to pry into his life. "No matter what happens to someone. I don't think they should be deprived of sleep." She said.He looked a
She was in her room getting ready for school. "Did I do something wrong?" She asked herself. She knew he was normally stoic and cold, but he was loosening until he changed again.Different thoughts passed through her head as she left the house. She felt relaxed; she could do things without having the thought that someone might be watching her. David, at Aiden's orders, was there to protect her even though she didn't see him around. After class, she and Alicia went to the library. Her exam was coming in three weeks, and she had started preparing for it with her friend. A few hours later, they left school and went to their respective houses. The thoughts were back. She thought of saying something funny to him if it could help. "I can't believe myself." She chuckled at herself. She cooked dinner and waited for him. She loved they ate together, and even though it was awkward and didn't last long, she wished it would happen again. It was getting dark each minute, but she didn't eat her
"Mr. Bates is waiting in the conference room. We can leave whenever you're ready." Eric said, looking at Aiden, whose gaze was fixed on the computer.Even though he wasn't doing anything, he just kept looking at the computer with one hand holding the mouse tightly. He nodded his head at Eric.Eric also noticed this, but he didn't ask anything about it. He knew he was bothered, and he wanted to ask if he was okay, but he couldn't. "I'll keep her off the company's ground." He said before leaving the room.He sighed as he rested his back in his chair. Seeing her wasn't what was bothering him. It is, but not as much as what he heard and felt. Why would his wolf still recognise her as his mate? He sat in that same position for some minutes before standing up to leave for his meeting. "Good morning, Mr. Flea." Mr. Bates stood and greeted Aiden as he entered the room."Good morning," Aiden replied. He sat down at the edge of the long table before Mr. Bates and the other people in the room s
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
"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
"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
It was finally evening. The person who called her told her the manager would only be around at seven in the evening, and that's only when she could see him.She got to the restaurant but still didn't meet the manager. "I'll wait for him," she said to the waiter before walking towards an empty table. The restaurant was large and beautiful, with a fresh scent of flowers in between each table. Several people were having their dinner. She didn't expect she would be accepted to work as a waiter, and it's a pretty decent pay. She can work for some time and get a small apartment.She sat down and looked around until her eyes met a glass barricade. It was another part of the restaurant that was separated from where she was. Perhaps a VIP area. The side looked much bigger, with comfy seats. And there weren't a lot of people there. She noticed a familiar figure talking on the phone."Is that not Carrie? She's the one," she said to herself as she watched her. "Did she come with Aiden?" she thou
She got back home to meet Alicia pacing in the room. "Amelia. I was worried you weren't back yet." She said as she opened the door for her."I'm sorry I got you worried," Amelia replied, as she sat down. Alicia walked back to her after closing the door and sat beside her. "So tell me. How did you know Aiden Flea?" She asked with excitement written all over her face while Amelia just stared at her, surprised. "Aiden Flea?" She asked."Yes. Wasn't he the one who came to get you last night? Gosh! He's so hot. His voice and the way he carried you in his arms, girl." Alicia said, fanning her face as she talked, but when she realized Amelia was just looking at her weirdly, she controlled herself. "Sorry. I got carried away." She smiled, to which Amelia also chuckled.She knew she must have seen him last night when he came to get her. But why would he carry her in his arms in front of everyone? She couldn't even remember a thing about what happened. I... He... He was my boss." She stuttere
He needed a place for her to rest and sober up, and his house wasn't a choice as it was occupied.He called Eric to book a hotel suite for him nearby, which he did. Eric sent him details of the hotel, and he drove there. She was already sleeping when he got there. He went to her side and carried her in his arms as he entered the hotel.She was in his arms until he got to the room. He walked to the bedroom and placed her carefully on the bed. "Gosh. I wonder how much she drank." He sighed as he stared at her flushed face.He reduced the brightness of the room for her to sleep well, but it was not so dark that he couldn't see. He left to go have a shower. He wished she could also take a bath so she could sleep well, but he couldn't touch her, especially when she was not in her right senses.He stood under the cold shower for about half an hour, reminiscing about what had happened. He was thankful he got there on time. He couldn't wonder what could have happened to her if he arrived late
She got back home. Her thoughts had diverted from her priority of job finding. She couldn't unsee what she saw at the restaurant. He got her food for her cravings. They looked so happy together. The thought of it only made her want to cry. She fell for him, but he didn't have any feelings harbored for her. She thought so highly of herself. "But why make her feel special? He got her movie tickets. He worries about her. And he... he kissed her. Was it all a lie? He couldn't even think of her once. It's only been two days." She thought.Tears fell out of her eyes as she thought about him. It got worse when Alicia walked in after coming back from class. "What's wrong, Amelia?" She ran towards her, but Amelia's cries increased. "I... I fell..."Where did you fall?" Alicia asked. She only heard brief words because of her stutters from her loud crying."I... fell for him... I shouldn't have. He has a mate. And she's pregnant." She cried loudly. Alicia pulled her into a hug. She didn't unde
She went back to Alicia's house. She had made sure she cleaned her face and tears to avoid suspicions from Alicia. "I've been waiting for you. I made breakfast already, but I ate when you didn't come on time. You can make something for yourself. Juice is in the fridge." Alicia said. She sat in the sitting room, watching a movie, when Amelia entered. "Thank you. Can I talk to you? I need your help," Amelia said. She was less bothered about the food. She wasn't even feeling hungry. "What is it?" Alicia paused what she was watching and asked."Can... I stay with you for a week or two. I'll get a job and move out before you know it." She gawked at her, hoping she would accept. It took a lot of confidence for her to say that."I even thought it was something serious. Of course, you can stay over." Alicia said with a chuckle. "Thank you so much. I appreciate it." Amelia smiled while Alicia just shook her head. "Go and make your breakfast."She only drank half a glass of juice and two pan
"Stop!" Vera said, still sitting in her seat. "No one will leave until the matter is solved, and the meeting is concluded." She looked like she was talking to Amelia because her gaze was on her."I know what's going on here. No one can determine my mate." He said, looking at his mother with no emotions. Vera stood up. She looked angry, so also was Aiden. "We can't, but we can choose our Luna." Vera looked at the elders. "Begin.""Mother." Liam walked towards her to calm her down, but the woman's anger was more than that. "Stay out of this, Liam."Aiden kept looking at his mother. He finally let go of Amelia when she pulled her hand away from him. She walked to where she was before, while Aiden just stood where he was.The elders looked at themselves and took that as an opportunity to continue. "In no history, has it been heard that an alpha has two mates. Only a Luna can be selected. And today, we're gathered here to rectify that." One of the elders spoke."Yes. They both have the ma
She had been awake all morning. She couldn't get a good night's sleep because she couldn't stop thinking about last night. She had to hold everything in and pretend to smile in front of Alicia, even though she knew Alicia suspected something was wrong with her.She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Alicia had woken up and left the room, but she pretended she was still asleep.She was still in thought when the door opened and Alicia walked in. "Good morning," Alicia said. It was too late to pretend.She rose and greeted her back with a smile. "Good morning.""Are you okay?" She heard Alicia ask suddenly, which surprised her."I'm fine," Amelia replied with a smile, but it only seemed Alicia could see beyond her smile. "You know you can tell me anything, Amelia." Amelia was quiet for a while. She thought she might have invaded her privacy. "I'm sorry I didn't inform you about staying over.""You know that's not what I'm talking about. There's nothing bad about coming over. But
None of them said a word to one another until the car stopped in front of a club. "As much as I don't support alcohol. I think we all need it right now," Liam said as he stepped out of the car. Jason and Aiden also stepped out. They all entered into the club. It wasn't noisy. Just a few people having fun. They made their way to the bar."Order something less alcoholic for yourself, Liam. We don't want a case where we would drag you out of the club drunk." Jason said, laughing, but Liam just shook his head without a word. Aiden gulped his glass of whiskey in a go. He didn't say a word or look at them, even though their gaze was on him."Are you okay?" Liam asked him, but still, he didn't look up at him. "How did it happen, Aiden? The last time, you only told me she was back, and she still has the mark."Jason interrupted before Aiden could reply. "You knew she was back?" He asked Liam, to which he also nodded. "Wow. And you both didn't tell me about it. I'm the only lost one here." H
She chuckled lightly as she gazed up at the building. It had been months since she last set foot there. She had received a tip from her boss that Aiden came to the pack's house.She knew what she had come there for. It was the only way she had. Revealing she's back as Aiden's first mate to the entire pack. She couldn't wait to see the look on Amelia's face.She walked into the house. The hall where the party was held. It was full of guests who were all minding their business.She needed chaos for her plan. The guests faced the window as they all counted down to the new year. "Three... Two... One... Happy New Year." The room erupted in cheers and laughter as fireworks exploded above. She ignored the commotion, her gaze scanning through the crowd until she spotted Vera.A sly smile played on her lips as she made her way toward her. "Happy New Year, Mother." She greeted with a smile.Vera also looked at her. She couldn't believe her eyes. "What are you doing here? How dare you think of c
