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
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
“Dad!” I watched Ezra run toward the dead Mr. Smith while I was still stunned and in disbelief at what was happening right before my eyes.People started to get out of their rooms and started feasting on the horrendous scene. Though some tried to call for help using their mobile phones. My eyes then fixed on the man who used to be very tough when I met, the man you won’t expect would shed tears. But right now, all I could see is the man who was a loving son to his father, I know despite those harsh words from him was the fact that he was trying to get his father’s attention. Even though he’s human, I am aware that in their world, if you are wealthy like them, you’ll be deprived of your parent's love since they were busy managing their business. My father told me that, but I’m lucky that my father showered me with his love despite how busy he is as the Alpha of our pack. And speaking of my father…I suddenly remembered that exact day, my twenty-first birthday which turned out to be the
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 huge
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 it
