Meanwhile, at Brown Iris Castle, the feeling of hatred and insecurities lingered in Xavier's heart and mind. He kept walking around his working room, passing Selena sitting on the sofa with the stern expression.
The coward Alpha being not able to organize the pack was literally worried if his Luna would never come back after he dealt with the bet proposed by Bastian. "D*mmit! I must not accept the bet if it involves Margie and her feelings. Now, I'm in hot water! It's also beyond my expectation. At the initial state, I just want to have fun with Selena, but it should not continue like this!" He pondered as he squeezed his spiky hair angrily. At that time, Selena stared at him and snapped, "Stop walking nonsensely like that! It will not solve the problems." Xavier then stopped walking around, and he exclaimed, "We are done, Selena! luck is not on our side!" Selena stared at him astonishingly and placated, "Margareth POV "Margie, where are you going?" The bass voice bothered my attention as I stood on the yard, waiting for Jessie to pick me up. "I'll be going with a bestie in the coffee shop, Bas." I uttered the truth as I looked at his calm expression and the semi-formal outfit, an orange long-sleeved shirt with black pants. Right on the band of the pants, the belt with hermes logo was pasted on it. Those attires really exudes his alluring charm and friendly personality. "Wait, let me call the driver to take you there," He said while starting to pick up the cellphone from one of his pockets. Nonetheless, before he called his driver, I cut in, "No need, Bas. My friend will soon be here. She has promised to pick me up since a few
Bastian POV "After you fight them back, please investigate them further, Carter," I requested as my right hand fixed the earphone plugging on my right ears. "I'll figure their motives. It's on me, Bro. She will be safe." Carter's barritone swayed in my hearing sense. I then nodded, trying to hold on the words uttered by one of my trusted friends. Once I had finished reminding him about the danger lingering around Margie, I disconnected the call immediately. Maybe, I was being nosy for interfering Margie's personal life. However, it was not about bothering somebody's life too far, but this was more about how I showed my commitment to the Moon Goddess. Once, I ever prayed to her, about letting me meet my mate, around a year ago. In my prayer, I also mentioned that I would really maintain her life and safety, no matter how hard the condition was. There it was. Wh
Margareth POV The shocking appearance of Carter Clancys was completely unexpected. The Alpha I used to see on the television advertisement and news was lively standing in front of me. With his taut muscles attached on his tall body, he fought effortlessly. Even, when he had knocked down two thugs in a few minutes, he still could block the attack done by the last man attacking from the back. "GRAPP!" the sound of the bones cracking was discerned as Carter grabbed the man's hands roughly, raised them to the top, and asked, "Tell me, who ask you to mess up with those girls??" The man smirked as endured the swells on his arms and hands. "Why should I tell you?? it's none of your business!!" The last thug uttered rudely. Through his secretive gaze, it seemed that somebody had paid him and his friends to cause a harm on me and Jessie. "But still you agree to harm these girls with your two friends. I'll release you and them if you tell me the p
Margareth POV The Alpha's sudden question made my mind processed the previous moment in order. Each scene came in my mind, and I was able to memorize it in some exact details. Once it was finished, it was connected with Bastian's question about the wounds. In shocking glance, I almost thought that the influential Alpha might have the sixth sense, so that he could see some moments from a far, or even predict the upcoming event in the future. Nonetheless, while he mentioned about sending a spy to my castle, I then speculated that Alpha Carter and Alpha Dave were ordered by him to help me and Jessie. As a result, I bravely inquired although I was doubtful, "S-so, did you order Alpha Carter and Alpha Dave to save me and Jessie?" "Well, I can't say that they save you." Bastian answered as he stared at me playfully with his tiny smile. Then, Jessie said, "But, they fight towards the thugs all at once. At that tim
Margareth POV After making sure about the offer stated by Bastian, my eyes found out that he smiled lovingly at me while nodding. It meant that he was willing to give one mansion to me. That was quite insane! I meant it was fine if he attempted to give me a gift. As long as it was his own inventiveness, it was such an honored for me. However, regarding the type of gift, it was never in my mind to set a high expectation although a friend I had just known was known to be wealthy. Again, it was according to his or her willingness. Yet, the fact that this respectable Alpha seemed to love surprising me with either about himself or things he did, such as these two thing, protecting me from a far and offering a medium-size mansion to me impulsively. He offered it to me as if one mansion worthed the same as a pack of cereal. In fact, Xavier as my husband never gave me a memorable g
Margareth POV The figure who I just knew from the werewolves academy exactly appeared and stood right in front of my grey orbs. Yeah, I admitted that the man with his tall body looked stunning with no aging visual. However, my instinct felt annoyed by his existence. By the time when I observed his stern glance towards me and Bastian, I was in the stance position, ready to fight although I seldom trained myself on the camp with the other werewolves. In that time, Emma opened the mental connection and said, "He looks nasty. Look at his fangs. Iuh." "Maybe, he needs a brand new tooth paste," I replied as I realized that my nails were growing longer. Following with the nail changes, I could feel that the brown fur slightly grew on my skin. Looking at my condition, Bastian uttered, "Are you ready to fight? It's better if you leave him on me. I'll make sure that it will not be longer than an hour.
On another place, when the time was exactly at 11.30 p.m, Xavier stood madly with his hatred gaze in the working room. As he grabbed the club in his right hand, he hit the three thugs standing up right in front of him. "Such a fool useless werewolves!!" He snapped. "What's the use of asking the higher payment than I had offered to you! You all have failed to kidnap her!!" He added with the raging tone in his tenor voice. "She was protected by the other Alphas. Those Alphas was also though enough." The first thug, Kael, with the thick beard and curly short hair spoke his mind. "You cannot use it as a reason!" Xavier insisted as he clenched his left fist. Then he continued, "It's just you all are too weak to handle the Alphas!!" The second thug whose name was Miguel joined the conversation, "Of course the Alphas can't compare with us. Alpha Carter and Alpha Dave are not people to mess up with. Actually, you yourself mu
Another new day came. The birds chirpping became the greetings for Xavier who was still lying on the bed, next to Selena. At that time, they were covered by the blanket since they had made out the previous night. In a few seconds, when the birds sang louder, Xavier frowned and slowly opened his eyes. Then, he squeezed his nape a bit and found out that Selena was next to him and woke up with a naughty smile on her sassy face. "Good morning, my babe," She greeted as she held Xavier's hand and kissed its back gently. "G-good morning too, dear," Xavier greeted back. At the same time, he was surprised with his and her condition, getting naked without any fabric attached on their skin. "Last night, you were so wild. Didn't you remember about it?" Selena sat and lied on the headboard as she covered her breasts. "W-wild? what do you mean, Selena??" Xavier observed his mistress' smile as he asked.
When the afternoon arrived, Margie decided to meet Jessie in the nearest cafe around Red Iris Mansion. Her sudden meeting was caused by her friend's announcement about several job vacancies she had listed. "Here are the lists of the vacancy. A few of them are from my company, while the others can be from certain companies in this pack." Jessie extended the folder where some papers were attached. Then, Margie took a look at them one by one. "They are pretty strict, especially when it comes about educational background," She commented with the bitterness in her words. She realized that she didn't have any magister degree that might support her resume. "No worries. You can also have a freelance job which is quite useful and paid." Jessie calmed her while sipping her caramel macchiato. At the same time, the waitress was serving a plate of parmigiana chicken wings and baked potato wedges with moza
Margareth POV "Ehm.." I mumbled as I still closed my eyes. At the same time, my right hand was moving around the bedside table, grabbing my phone to turn off the morning alarm. Once I did it, I gradually opened my eyes. At the point, the dizziness conquered my head. "Sshh.." I hissed as the hurt in my head existed, just like it was nagging towards me who drunk so much the previous night. "KLEK.." The sound of the opened door knob whispered to my ears. Through the door, I could notice the Alpha coming with a tray which was completed with breakfast and a glass of yellow liquid that I didn't get familiar with. "Am I waking you up?" Bastian asked as he put the tray on the bedside table. "N-No.. hsss.." I replied and hissed, enduring the pain in my head. Then, Bastian approached me and sit at the corner of the bed. "Here is the gi
Bastian POV As she complained, the strong scent of wine came out from her red plumpy lips. Therefore, I endured it while trying to make her body stay upright. "Why don't..you drink? hmm?" She uttered with lack of fluency as her left arm was still on my shoulder. With the careful steps and the balance of my body, I carried her out and said, "If I were drunk, how could I help you?" Margie chuckled and leaned on my body closer. She softly whispered to my ear, "Then, it means.. we are drunk to-gether.." I sighed and keep carrying her out. Once we reached the parking area, I put her on the front seat carefully. Without any other delays, I directly started the engine and spun the power steering, letting the car to escape from the parking area to the street which was not so crowded or even noisy. With the focus on the street, I drove carefully. Sometimes,
Margareth POV When Bastian had not replied my utterance, I was stunned by one of the old friends I knew in high school, Elsa Muller. The only reason why I was amazed was her not aging visual. She was at the same age as me, but her looks were like young adults and teenagers. "Margie! It's really you!" She gladfully said and pulled me into her embrace. I then smiled and hugged her eagerly although I was not so close to her. "How have you been?" I released the hug and asked. "I'm fine, Margie, even though I'm quite busy nowadays. With whom are you here?" Elsa responded and began to observe Bastian's existence. She then got startled and inquired in whisper, "How can you go here with the Alpha?? He is such a picky. Don't you know that?" "Well, he invites me here anyway." I stated the truth so that there would not be misunderstanding.
After the divorce trial was finished, all of the attendees were coming out from the trial room. Those two people, Xavier and Margie, walking with their own companions with contrary expressions. The tall figure walking next to Selena kept his stares at Margie, while the she-wolf herself confidently rolled her left hand on Bastian's arm. "I'll make sure she can't live peacefully! I know I already have Selena now, but the fact that Margie looks happier without me makes my blood boiled to the maximum temperature." Xavier spoke in his mind, describing that he was actually frustrated with the effect he received after his affair was discovered. In that case, Selena noticing the frowning forehead of her lover realized that he was unhappy after the divoce was finalized for real. "What's wrong, honey? Any problems bothered you around?" She dared to ask. "That's nothing. I just think of the confusing offers done by some certain
Margareth POV This Alpha really mixed his favorite things with the important jobs and position. To me, it was unnecessary because it would divert his attention from the business he did. Yet, he didn't look bothered while explaining that he might drink in the office. Moreover, his gaze showed that the Alpha was confident enough to express how stressful it was at the working place. It was normal, and he drank with his Beta. However, my mind currently was on the image when he was drunk and might kiss any woman around him. My mind was really sassy from a day ago. I didn't know why, but I could not help myself not to think about wild dirty things about Bastian. Did I start to develop a thing for him? or it was just a sudden obsession towards the Alpha because he could considered as an ideal male-wolf. Although I kept wondering to myself, I still could not conclude it clearly. It happened all of a
Margareth POV "Excuse me, Miss. Mandy. I'd like to meet the CEO. Is he busy?" I bravely approached the secretary and uttered my true purpose in the office. "Let me check after you fill this guest book." The straight hair woman with fascinating visual uttered and gave the guest book to me along with the blue pen. I nodded and filled out the data in the guest book carefully. Once I had finished, I returned it to her by saying, "Here it is." "All right, Miss. Velvela. Let me check if he has a lot on his plate." Miss Mandy fixed her glasses as she said to me. Gently, she knocked and opened the door, letting her eyes peek inside the room. From inside the room, I could hear the Alpha's heavy voice, "What's wrong?" "Miss. Velvela, your guest is outside, Mr. Alford." The secretary uttered openly. "Let her come in." I heard his voice for another ti
Margareth POV When I arrived at the training camp, the sun was still greeting at the ground. Its warmth made my cheek red, but it was not like a tomato. With the decent mood, I stood between the other participants and listened to what Beta Ashton said. "For today, we will learn to defend ourseves, as usual. Later, I would like you to form a group of two." Beta Ashton announced through his shouting. With the announcement being set, I immediately looked around, trying to find a suitable friend for the practice section. However, it was not easy because most of the she-wolves set the indifferent gaze towards me. I was sure if they still recollected the fact that I was a Luna of different pack. At that moment, another words uttered by Beta Ashton was perceived clearly, "After exercising for self defense, I'd like to teach you some new materials, and it is related to our wolves." In les
Margareth POV "TAP!" I closed the door gently with my right touched the chest. My heart was still trembling although I didn't see him, especially with his bare naked body. Then, several assumptions were running in my brain. All of them could be either good or bad, depending on the prediction I created. Firstly, I thought that the Alpha was trying to flirt with me. The causes were the unexpected kiss and he being half naked last time. Another factor was about he knew me as his fated mate. "If he intentionally flirt with me, that's insane! It's just like a hypocrite." I muttered as I flipped and squeezed my hair a bit. I never thought that someone like Bastian could be an opportunist person. Then, I walked to the bed and got onto it. Then, the second assumption I thought of was he just wanted to see my reaction towards his attitude. If so, he was really an attention seeker. However, I could not imagine if it was tr
