“Perfect then, I’ll bring you two into a business trip in New Orleans in the U.S tomorrow.”“W-What? What’s with the sudden trip? I mean since when our pack will enter the business?” I asked, and I bit my lip when Alpha Baron’s face darkened.“You aren’t my Luna yet but you are asking that much already.” He retaliated.“I-I’m sorry, it’s just that isn’t it a bit risky for our pack…”“Cassiopeia, if you want this pack to remain on top, then you should trust me. We have to take investments from businessmen.”“You mean humans?” “We will socialize with humans?” I asked unbelievably.“Yes, but partly no, there are packs in that country who were as rich as we do. Some were even billionaires, and I couldn’t let our pack be on the last on the list, Cassiopeia. We’ll get there to close deals, and invest. Like how other Alpha’s manage and grow their wealth.” He explained briefly, it sounded good to me. But my father didn’t take that step and didn’t go that far just to be as great as he became
The pair of crimson eyes were glimmering in darkness as it comes closer to me. And I don’t think I could still run from him because I almost used my energy already.He growled before motioning an attack toward me, and I have left no choice but to close my eyes waiting for the pain to penetrate my skin. But nothing came in, and when I opened my eyes a familiar blank face greeted me. He was on his human form now, and fully naked.I quickly look away, and I could feel my cheeks red. I slowly remove the thin cloth that covers my face and handed it to him. I mean it’s not that big deal to see them naked after their shift, but I wasn’t comfortable with it.“A-Alpha Killian,” I called him.“You may look at me now, Cassiopeia.”Sighing in relief, I move my gaze at him.“You shouldn’t have startled me that way,” I commented.“Where are you currently heading Cassiopeia? It’s too dangerous for you, especially since your scars are gone.” He firmly asked instead.That’s when I remembered why I am

“What the f*ck are you staring at?” Eyed widened, I stand up from the bench as he intimidatingly threw me a glare. It seems like he's about to burst out any minute now, his face was too red in frustration though I can't still deny the fact that he's an imitation of the God of the Moon. ‘Should I just run?’‘But what if I don’t meet him again?’‘What the hell am I thinking?’‘Really Cassiopeia, amidst this trouble you’ll think of that. How ridiculous?’I wanted to slap myself for such thoughts and things happened so fast that I didn’t notice how enraged he was, he kicked the side of his tire again and again. “And what the f*ck did you just say?” He growled. “Do you even know how to fix these f*cking tires huh?” He asked pointing to his car as he moves towards me heavily.“D-Don’t come near me!” I exclaimed frightening, I slowly steps back.“You don’t understand my frustration! I Just f*cking lost a million dollars of investment!” He nagged out, he looks hopeless. I should run, right
In a few seconds, he held my life. And it didn’t even take long before he slowly pulled me up, with the strength he has, I won’t doubt anymore, how he was able to do that, without any much drama.“Cassiopeia, are you alright?” My eyes darted at Mr. Smith’s worried face.“I-I’m alright, Sir.” I lied, because at that certain moment, my heart was still hammering fast, and loud. I thought I would really die. When I glance at the guy who was named Ezra, there he has the wide grin on his lips.“T-Thank you.” I managed to say, despite how our first encounter went.“You owe me one, I don’t accept such word. It wasn’t in my vocabulary.” His evil grin faltered and was replace by a cold one before he turns his back and started walking away.“Ezra, let’s talk.” Mr. Smith stops him, yet the latter didn’t bother to shoot a glance.‘Though I’m still thinking if they were really father and son.’‘It was such a small world right?’“I know I lost the big investment last night, but I won’t be sorry for
“Did you just slap me?” She asked unbelievably with her eyes wide, and anger was clearly visible on it.Even I was suddenly stunned at what I just did, “I-I’m so…” I couldn’t finish my words when she slaps me back, a bit hard that threw my face to the side. I tasted blood on the side of my lips.“How dare you slap me?” Her voice was menacing, and this time my guilt vanished and was replaced by the anger remembering how she insulted me earlier.“I may be a wolf less, but let me remind you again… I have royal blood in me, my father is a former Alpha of the pack, and with that, I could lead the pack as I witness how my father put the pack at the highest spot.” I bravely countered.“Huh, you seemingly forgot to mention how ugly your face was…” She shot back mockingly, as she slowly steps forward, I didn’t move and met her glaring gaze.“That doesn’t have to deal with how I’ll be able to responsibly lead the pack, Calypso,” I replied.“Well, yeah you got a point with that but… will Alpha
Quickly bowing my head to the left side, with heart pounding so fast.“Calypso?” It doubled when I heard the voice of Alpha Baron. His heavy stares“Alpha? What are you doing here?” The latter ask and I took the opportunity to get the blanket behind me and cover my face quickly.The two looked at me confuse.“Cassiopeia…” Alpha Baron started.“We’ve seen your face already, there’s nothing to hide that.” He continued. Calypso’s lips rose up this time.“She’s probably embarrass and ashamed for having such face.”“Please respect of how comfortable I am with this.” I casually replied, setting aside the anxiousness I had a few seconds ago. Thankfully, Calypso didn’t saw it.“Whatever, suit yourself.” The woman replied. I shift my gaze at Alpha Baron who seemingly in deep thought but it’s quiet strange that he’s staring at me.“Leave us alone for a moment, Calypso.” Alpha Baron suddenly uttered.‘Did he saw my face?’‘T-that’s impossible. I made sure I didn’t meet his gaze when he arrived.’
Everything that happened last night was fast and unexpected. If I will be able to keep this pace of impressing and gaining the trust of Alpha Baron, definitely I have the bigger chance of getting the throne, right? This isn’t about being the Luna anymore, rather the future of the pack and our race is in my hands.With the motivation and determination of positivity I have this morning, it was a good start to have a walk out there. Alpha Baron told me last night that he’ll reward me this day for a rest. I’m not sure what are his plans in the afternoon, but I’d rather spent the whole day all by myself out here. Walking the hallway, my eyes darted at the familiar man who went out of one of the units.‘Was it Ezra?’‘Is he staying here too?’What a small world for the both of us, but he seemed too busy on his phone. I don’t know what got into me why I followed him. Until we entered the elevator, his eyes were still fixed on its screen, that he doesn’t even notice my presence.At this angle
