Margareth PovI, as the Luna of Brown Iris Pack, never imagined that my pack would be a host of the yearly party. The idea ran through my mind since the pack that I took care of was not a top-tier one like the Apollo Pack. As I got ready with a dark blue denim dress, I went down the stairs with white high heels. Subsequently, I heard the voice of the beta of the pack, Blake, "Good morning, my Luna. Here are the details that we have got for the yearly party.""Morning too, Blake. Thanks for delivering the list," I replied with a gentle smile as my grey eyes observed the stuff written on the paper.Observing for a while, I said, "I guess we need more stocks for wines and chairs. I hear that the witches will also attend the party. Even, we need some of them to help the front guards if there is a danger coming.""All right. Later, I'll update the info on the event service." Blake nodded and said."Okay. And then, I think we need .." I delayed the words when I saw that the decoration needed
Margareth PovWith the hurt lingering in my chest, I ran and got out of the castle. By the time, Xavier reached and stopped me as he confirmed, “I have a mistress because of you. Don’t you realize your mistakes??”The sentences uttered made my heart bleeding even more. I then responded, “What do you mean by the mistakes?? I always understand you, Xav. Additionally, I make the time for you although I’m super busy with the yearly party. I feel that I have done nothing wrong. It must be me who asks about your wrong doing now.”Being forced to explain, the Alpha had no choice, so he gulped and stated, “All right, let me be honest to you. I get tired of you, Margie. You are so busy that you could not be attentive to my needs. That’s why I feel lonely.”The answer uttered successfully made the wound in my heart more swelled. However, I crossed the bridge when he came to it, “Oh Gosh! Don’t you see that I’ve been quite busy recently, Xavier?? I have a lot on my plate, regarding the upcoming
Margareth PovBeing picked up by Beta Blake, the moment when the stranger prevented Xavier from slapping me appeared in my mind. It felt like a movie scene that dramatically played on repeat. At the point I recalled the memory, I stroke a tiny miserably smile. It was not because I was happy to be saved by a stranger. My lips curved downwards since I felt pitiful towards myself.My thought of Xavier never making me suffered was switched by the fact that proved him to be the one willing to hurt me. Following with the situation, I saw with my eyes that a stranger I barely knew intended to protect me. It was truly insane, but the bitter fact clearly convinced me to realize who Xavier really was in this two-year marriage.As my brain was drowning with the recent shocking moment, Emma opened the connection and uttered in my mind, “No need to be sad, Margie. You have to compose yourself more. Don’t be desperate towards the useless Alpha you have married.”“It is easier to say than do, Em.” I
Margareth PovHonestly, I was not confident if Xavier intended to cast me out of the pack. Moreover, in this kind of situation, I had to defend my dignity as a woman. I might lose his love and prominent status here without being ashamed. Nonetheless, I could never forgive myself if this man underestimated my position as if I deserved it. He must know who I truly was.During the time that I stared at him deeply, his face was stern as he scoffed, “I bet that your life will be worse than today, once you are not here! Didn’t you remember that you were just a poor omega before meeting me?!”His harsh words were followed with his right hand gripping my face firmly. Without any other utterances, my disappointed gaze was drawn to him. I could also feel that tears were peeking right into my sight, getting ready to fall and run down my skin. “Why are you silent, huh?? Are you realizing your true value without me, Margie?” He sneered with a devilish smile while he released his grip towards my ja
Next day, after the annual party was held, Xavier working in his office received the attachment sent by Bastian of Red Iris Pack. As it had been downloaded, he immediately opened and read its details little by little. His eyes scanned each words typed carefully so that he could protest to some points which were not agreeable. Around a few minutes forward, he dialed Bastian through his cell phone.“Yes? Who’s there?” Bastian’s deep voice was heard once the call was connected.“It’s me, Xavier. I’d like to negotiate some rules you have set in the document.” Xavier told straightforwardly.“Go ahead. I’m listening,” Bastian responded casually.“I don’t think that I agree with rule number three stated in here. You cannot forbid me from touching Selena.” Xavier alluded.“All right. You can omit it. What else?” Bastian suggested and asked at the same time.“And obviously the rule number five. Margareth is still my wife legally. It’s ridiculous if I must stay separately in the castle.” Xavier
Margareth POVOnce I agreed to meet Bastian in his place, Xavier darted his cold glance at me and yelled, “Why did you agree to meet him?? Didn’t you think that he had planned something bad for you?”I rolled my eyes as his yelling brushed my ears. Therefore, Stressful feelings encountered my mind and heart whenever he began to show his jealousy of me too much. Attentively, it was fine if he felt that kind of emotion. Nonetheless, sometimes, he accused me for having an affair with other men. It was unreasonable since there were no strong proofs being shown. That was also the main cause of having argument with him although I didn’t wish it would happen.Therefore, I clarified, “He is just a friend from a neighbor pack, Xavier. I only want to socialize with him and nothing else.”“Socialize? Do you think I’m innocent enough to understand what you mean??” Xavier raised his voice tone as his glance became sharper.“Is it wrong for me to socialize with the pack members or neighbor pack’s m
Margareth POVStepping inside the mansion, the noise of my heels tapping on the marble floor was heard as it echoed. Then, as I followed Bastian and stepped on the stairs carefully, my eyes observed the artistic details of the mansion. The first thing that caught my attention was the wolf head statue attached near the fire place on the first floor. Below the magnificent statue, the brand entitled ‘Red Iris Pack’ was engraved nicely in gold.Then, the next thing was the room I entered on the second floor. It was well-organized with a few of bookshelves on the right side. Besides that, the working table along with the leather chair was placed. Honestly, it was completely different from Xavier’s working room which was much smaller and not really fancy.“Please have a seat, Margie,” Bastian asked gently with his right hand gesturing towards the sofa.I nodded as I obeyed him. Although I really wanted to express how surprising it was to him, I kept myself composed. At the same moment, a yo
Margareth POV "Listen, Margie. You can't hang out with another man, except me, Your only Alpha!" Xavier's voice was irritating my ears as I put a death glare at him. Then, I glanced and reminded him on his affair with Selena, "Can't you please reflect on what you have done to me?? You silently hang out with your mistress while I myself just know about it recently. You are such a selfish brat. Don't you realize it?!" At the time when those words were uttered, the car he drove stopped right in front of the gate as he pulled out the brake. "I hang out with her because you never make any time with me, Margie. You keep thinking that I can stay loyal while you get busy with your own things. Nevertheless, in fact, you must reflect on yourself too!" He snapped with a higher tone. Feeling drowning in hatred, I decided to got out from the car and walked after him. "Margie! Can't you hear me out?! we are in the middle of discussion, and you can't escape like that!" He yelled as if I was
Margareth POV "Attention to the passengers of Civic Airlines, with the destination to Macau, please get ready with the passports and the boarding passes since our administrators will check on it before the plane gates are opened. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation." The announcement was blaring through the speaker, and it made me awaken from a short-time sleep. "Let's queue in the provided space. We will depart to the destination soon." Bastian deep voice was also perceived by my ears. While I finished stretching, I took the belongings and tied them on the handle of the travel bag tightly. Then, I joined in the queue, waiting for the turns of checking the passport and the airplane ticket. By the seconds and few minutes counting, Bastian and I were able to get on the plane. However, we didn't sit next to each other since our rows were different. It separated us with different person next to us; Bastian was sitting next to the old man with the grey hair, while I
At another circumstance, Margareth and Bastian arrived at Taoyuan International Airport of Taipei. The time was about 06.10AM. They stepped down there for transiting around four and a half hours and exchanging plane. In the middle of the crowd, the couple held hands as they swayed their steps carefully. For some moments, they passed the rows of people. After getting their passport checked in the immigration, they explored the mall which was extended by the hall of the airport. Through their eyes, they observed some people were shopping in the boutiques and the other shops. In addition, a few of the shop owners were busy at arranging their stuffs on the shelves. It was obvious that they just started the shop opening. "Don't you want to buy some snacks or wine from here? Or maybe gifts?" Bastian distracted the she-wolf's attention at the right time. He kept observing the eage
Selena POV Seriously? my fragile Alpha husband appointed a random man to put his eyes on me?! I guessed he noticed a few things odd occurred at me recently. Oh crap! I really had to play my card wisely, before he really figured out what had happened between me and Gamma Richard. After Richard's assumption was acquired, my orbs were darted to the direction where a man was looking at me from a far, cautiously. "I guess he will not do such a thing, Rich. He is always busy," I tried to push away his further assumption to chill out. "Didn't you say that he was kinda possessive? Even to his ex-wife?" Richard recalled the detail I shared a few weeks before. I directly realized it, and it made sense if Xaviet hired a person to stalk on my activities outside the castle. "Thanks for reminding. Now, I start concluding if your assumption is correct. Indeed, we need to move to ano
Margareth POV "Welcome to Macau Airlines. May I see your ticket, Miss?" the tall and young figure greeted me warmly. Without any hesitation, I handed in the boarding pass, letting her check which seat I was placed. "All right, Miss. Your seat is 3F, next to the Alpha's." The stewardess uttered while returning the boarding pass to me. I just inclined and began to look at the seat numbers on the top of each divided rows. While I found the seat number, Bastian stared at me and said, "It's such a coincidence, isn't it? We are next to each other although I didn't pick the seats while booking for our tickets." I grinned and replied, "Either coincidental situation or I'm just lucky. At first, I guessed that you had booked the seats for us, so no wonder why it was close to each othe
As August, the most anticopated month, came, Bastian and Margie got ready with their travel bags and the belongings on themselves. Whenever they got into the car, Beta Ashton helped the driver to load the bags on the car luggage. In less than five minutes, the black SUV car walked away from the mansion area to the public street. In that case, Bastian sitting next to Margie in the back passenger seat uttered, "Are you nervous?" "Not really. Maybe, because we haven't been in the airplane or boardinf state." Margie answered while looking at the dark sky. At that time, it was around 03.15 A.M. Then, Bastian held her hand gently and said, "You need to prepare yourself while arriving at Macau." "Is it really pretty?" Margie got curious since her b
Margareth POV Another pretty warm evening greeted. I having just arrived at the mansion still in my casual attire along with the black apron embracing my front body. Along with my gradual steps inside the spacious building, the tiring feeling lingered on my body. "I guess he has been asleep since it is already quite late." I muttered while reaching the kitchen. I could only sigh and enjoyed the silence as my companion tonight. Then, I took an pack of instant sandwich from the two-door refrigerator. I decided to take the instant meal since I felt the sudden hunger was not tollerant to me this night. Once the instant sandwich was heated in the microwave, I checked on the notifications on my phone carefully. A row of notifications almost confused me to pick, yet I decided to reply on few of them since they were quite important. "TING!" The sound
Margareth POV Once my butt touched his laps, my heart trembled unsteadily. While listening to his inquiry, I gulped and answered, "No, you are not a player, but I just want to see if you may consider the wedding as an unserious thing." "It's more than just serious to me." He responded calmly with his deep and slightly raspy voice. His orbs gently locked at mine while his right hand fixed my hair gradually. Through his gazes, I could catch the honesty and sincerity combined together. It was exactly similar to how he behaved, specifically when he was eager to help people around him. "How is it? Can you explain to me?" I cupped his face with my hands while rubbing his cheeks tenderly. Surprisingly, he diverted his stared for me. He also hummed and replied, "It's like when we really want something, but we can't get it for free." I
Margareth POV In thirty minutes inwards, I sat next to the woman whom I just acknowledged as Bastian's mom. Although she looked nice, I still needed to gather myself. I could not behave casually since it was my first time to see her as a woman dating her son for a month and more. "So, you two have dated for a month, haven't you?" Mrs. Alford inquired with her carefully stares towards me and Bastian. "Yeah, and it's still counting." Bastian answered it bravely. He also grabbed my right hand tightly, indirectly assuring his mom that we were couple being in love with each other. The truth was exactly like that as my feelings towards him were growing like the grass of the garden around the mansion. The elegant woman in her mid fifties grinned at me meaningfully. Then, she uttered, "Great. Finally, my beloved son finds his love." Along wi
For another next three days, the strange gifts were not coming at Red Iris Mansion. It certainly made Margie breath in relief. Even, Bastian was not really suspicious about it. Furthermore, they used the productive Tuesday as the time for visiting the frozen food factory owned by Bastian. Around 08.30, when the sun was not yet high in the sky, they arrived in the basement parking area. "Are you ready?" Bastian asked after turning off the car's engine. "Ready for what?" Margie asked him back. She was staring at the compact mirror and fixing her lipstick carefully. "Ready to be introduced as the future Luna and Mrs. Alford." Bastian teased her playfully. Margie could only smile and poked his shoulder. "Aren't you embarrassed for having me?" "Margie, please, don't ruin the morning good mood I have." Bas
