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 so
“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
Startling at the huge man who suddenly blocked my vision, embarrassment fills my sanity seeing the man I was looking for right in front of me.“Again, why are you following me?” He sternly asked, his blank face remaining as it is, gone is the playful one, and I’d rather see the latter than him being this serious.“I-I wasn’t…”“You can’t fool me.” He quickly cut me off before turning around, not saying a word after that.“H-Hey wait…”‘Damn Cassiopeia, why did you even call him?’He didn’t stop walking so I followed him, and exclaimed, the words I hadn’t said that day. Maybe I did, but not a genuine one or it automatically slips from my lips without thinking that he really saved my life.“Thank you, Ezra.” His name was quite strange when it escapes from my lips, and it made him stop moving.“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t accept such words? Time will come that you must give me back that favor.”He started walking out after saying those words. If he says so, then be it. I just hope tha
The conversation last night between Calypso and Alpha Baron forbids me to sleep last night after what I heard. I tried to distract myself by packing all my things, but still, Alpha Baron’s words kept repeating at the back of my head. He’s up for my wealth, and in the end, it was Calypso who’ll choose. That was his f*cking plan, and I almost fell on it if I didn’t have the opportunity to eavesdrop on their conversation, then probably I will end up being rejected and killed in the end. But now that I got to know his plans, I will counter them even if the last option I have in mind will put my life at risk. “Cassiopeia, we will be leaving.” A couple of knocks followed by Ben’s voice ruined my thoughts. “I’m ready,” I replied and grab my baggage in my left hand as I head my way out of the room. Alpha Baron, Calypso, Ben, and Draco if I’m not mistaken were already waiting for me in the lobby area. Alpha Baron was seating with a newspaper in his hand, while Calypso drinking wine with a
The Alpha Baron walks toward the table near him and started pouring his favorite wine into an empty glass. He walked toward the veranda and lets the fresh air welcomes him back, it was almost nine in the evening yet everyone was already asleep like how he ordered Matthias. Seeing the whole pack makes him crave a larger territory, and he hopes that he could redeem this small town, up to the whole country of Russia. He also wants to take over some cities in the rich country of the U.S, and he’ll start with the Smith Empire and the billion-dollar cost of other properties that will soon be put under his name. He doesn’t worry much about Mr. Smith’s son. The latter seemed to be not interested in his father’s assets and chattels. A small smirk escapes his lips as he remembered how the wealthy businessman, Mr. Smith begs for his life. ‘If you just cooperated, then you wouldn’t end up like that.’ Alpha Baron thought to himself. Taken aback by a knock on his door, he didn’t say a word until
Until Matthias left, Alpha Baron was still in outrage. He wasn’t expecting everything he heard from Matthias, he thought everything went well. That all he could prioritize right now and focus on was the wealth of the former Alpha Magnus and make up a plan on how he’ll convince Cassiopeia to tell him where the hidden auric is. As far as he remembers, five years ago, he saw the Alpha hiding a ton of gold in his office. And if he could take possession of all of it, he will be the richest Alpha for sure, and his pack will be the wealthiest one among the packs. But at this moment, all that he could think of was, how will he able to face King Reagan. “F*ck!” In frustration, he throws the empty glass of wine in his hands to the wall and it automatically breaks into pieces. The broken glasses make a noise but the Alpha was furious to care about. “It was all because of that traitor and Alpha Killian! I’ll make them pay for this!” He swear as he glared at the moon shining above the sky. Lik
“W-What are you doing here Alpha?” I asked. It took him a couple of seconds to answer as he walked toward me slowly. “I’ve followed those two rouges who attack you earlier.” “Oh…” He probably saw and heard everything. “I was wondering if you mean everything you say?” He asked which made me look away. I don’t have anything to be ashamed of him right? “You should go home,” I replied instead. “So you like him?” My forehead creased, ‘why is he suddenly being like this?’ “You exactly know why am I doing this Alpha Killian, you’ve heard Hera and my conversation before right? You even said that you’ll cooperate once I’ve proven to you that I own this face. Do you remember?” I asked. Are we arguing? Really? In the middle of this dark forest, and at midnight? “Right. I should’ve kept that in mind.” He slowly nods before turning his back. I don’t know why I followed him when I should go back to the Silver Moon pack. Alpha Baron was probably in his room already, and it was a good opp
The fingers of the Alpha have a tight grip on her neck, and Calypso cannot believe that it’s all happening now. “A-Alpha Baron…” Calypso tries to call the Alpha because when the color of the eyes of the Alpha changed, it means he cannot be tamed, and it might be the end of her. But to her surprise, the Alpha slowly loosen the grip and let her fall on the marbled floor, as Calypso tried to gasp for oxygen. “Leave now before my vision gets darkened at you, Calypso.” The Alpha turned his back, giving the woman chance to leave the room. “Alpha Baron, you know that you cannot just lose me, right? We’ve come this far, I even obeyed your orders, even if it involves killing the former Alpha because that’s how I love you, and you promise me that position. My father is your right hand, and you know that he plays a vital part in this pack as he could foresee the prophecy. Don’t tell me that you’ll choose Cassiopeia over me. You’ve been clear the day in Chicago before our flight back here, th
