Selena POV
Let's say that what I was doing actually was to impress Xavier. For real, I had been in a relationship with him for a year and a half, and I know how he acted, either in a bad mood or the good one. Besides that, I also understood his ego, most of the time. However, behind those things I had figured out, I hadn't noticed a few things that he didn't like. For example like food, all I had observed while dating with him, he ate almost various food. He was not a picky type when it came about meals and beverages. In consequence, I kept my confidence and assured myself that serving cream soup as one of the morning meals was right for Xavier. He might enjoy my simple meal ideas for him although I was not good enough at choosing the food types. "It doesn't matter although he won't enjoy the soup. We still cook it." I instructed the head chef and kitchen crews confidently.On another place, Bastian and Margie were on the way to the training camp where the pack members were waiting on the training ground. During the waiting time, some of them, knowing for their excellent fighting skills, exchanged words with each other. Their main discussion was about their Alpha protecting a Luna from the different pack. "What the heck is it? Our single and available Alpha is helping the Luna? Why doesn't he help the single omega she-wolf instead?" The man being called as Clive could not believe the flash news uttered by Emily, one of his childhood friends. "Maybe, she is special." Levi joined as he guessed the reason why Bastian was eager to help Margie. "Special?? Man, she is just a Luna of another pack. She has been marked by her mate. There is nothing special with her existence around our Alpha." Amber protested as she pressed her voice tones. Then, Emily added, "If I'm not mistaken, Alp
Margareth POV Being annoyed by the unstable heartbeats, I attempted to release his hand blocking towards mine, but it was failed. He was incredibly strong although I hadn't seen his muscular body or biceps behind his polo shirt or formal attires. As if he could read my mind, he released his hands from mine and stroke a gentle smile. "Feeling tense? I'm sorry if I sound creepier last time, but it's worthy to attend physical fighting training in here. Your skills will be improved by Beta Ashton, the expert of martial arts in this pack," Bastian clarified. "Oh, really? It means that my beta is not really qualified." I was astonished by his confident statements about the training program. Instead of adding more persuasion on the physical training program, he inquired about the capability of Beta Blake, "What do you mean by not really qualified? isn't he capable enough to manage the pack's troops?" "He jus
Margareth POV "Why are you smiling like that? is there something funny you have just heard from the phone call?" I threw a few questions to him as my eyes observed the upwards curves on his charming face. "Well, it's actually an update from your chosen mate, Margie." Bastian admitted the cause of his smile. Once the term 'chosen mate' was uttered, I blinked and stared at him deeply. I was sure that the curiosity was painted through my gaze since I also intended to know how he was although I hated Xavier. "According to one of my spies, Xavier was nagging towards the breakfast menu." Bastian mentioned. Then, he added, "He is so demanding." "Yes, he is. He is always like that. Not only he himself acts like that, but also his mom does," I nodded and clarified the truth. "Are you cooking based on his demand about food and its taste?" Bastian was attacked by curiousity for sure since his or
With the intense stares to each other, Xavier impulsively threatened the Alpha he should never mess up with. "Will you report me to the elderly council? Telling them that I have kidnapped your wife or may you accuse me for having an affair with her?" Bastian with his collar pulled by Xavier attempted to read Xavier's mind. Xavier with his cold gaze replied, "Are you challenging me? I'm not afraid you, Bastian!" With his utterance, he released his hand grips from his collar. Moreover, he added, "Just return my wife to me, and your stance as the top-tier Alpha will be safe. No body will ever know about our matter." "Well, I'm sorry if my decision may offend you, but she may not return to you since you are still together with your mistress." Bastian assured and explained the reason at the same time. "Still, I'm here to see my wife. I wanna hear it from her directly." Xavier seemed to be indifferent as he tried to co
For about two weeks later, after Xavier was failed to bring Margie back to the pack, he intensely handled his small company in the working room. He barely let Selena to distract him with a few business reasons some days backwards. However, at the exact day, around Thursday, on the last week of July, Selena bravely broke into the working room as she brought a tray with a glass of chocolate almond milk on it. "Excuse me, babe. Here is the chocolate almond milk for you," She added with a proud smile in her oval face. "Just put it on the table near the sofa. I'll drink it later," Xavier responded coldly while arranging the folders on his opened book shelves, behind the working table precisely. "Don't you prefer a glass of warm milk? This is still warm. I make it by myself." She justified since she remembered that her lover always preferred hot drinks to the cold ones. Feeling distracted by her presence, Xavier immediate
On the other side, Margie was fighting with a few of food ingredients and some kitchen utensils. It was caused by her willingness to cook for Bastian, the Alpha whom she still didn't know as her fated mate. "After we add the pasta, what should I add next?" asked Betsy, the head chef in the mansion. "The seasonings of course," Margie replied when her hands added some peppers, salt, and a bit of sugar. As those seasonings were on the pasta combined with the bolognaise sauce, Betsy stirred it evenly. Once, it was done around five or six minutes, Margie uttered, "Wait, let me taste it first." By the time she grabbed a tea spoon of the red thick liquid, she tasted it as her tongue processed the judgement of the result carefully in a few seconds. Once, the taste had met the standard, she immediately turned off the stove. "This is already done. We can serve it now." She commented with the exciteme
Margareth POV I was stunned by his simple request regarding on him having helped me so much to go through my marriage matter. Is he joking through his wish? or it's just nothing, and he didn't need me to return his good deeds?? If he really meant it, he was truly insane. Why did I think so? It was like I received a free help from such an honorable Alpha. It was more like a dream to me. Maybe, Jessie as my friend would suggest me to stay cool although my offer to return his good deeds was rejected indirectly. Yet, I was raised in a conservative family that really appreciated attitudes and manners. Those things were already rooted in me, so I would still attempt to return the things he had done or given to me. With such kind of attitude, I could live more peacefully although maybe, I had to reside from here one day. "W-wait. You want me to stay here and being your companion. Can you make yourself more clear?" I finally
Bastian POV About ten minutes later, my steps in the mansion was meeting with the stairs right after it touched the marble floors. With a relieve in my heart, I widened a tiny smile curve on my face, describing that my optimism was on its peak. "I know I shouldn't feel happy about Xavier impregnanting his mistress like this, but his Luna is actually my fated mate! If my Beta or Gamma friends know about this matter, they will lecture for not to steal somebody's mate. It's definitely caused by some of them being the close-minded people. They tend to see that courting other people's mate is the most sinful." I pondered as I had reached the working room and began to sit behind my desk. After that, I start focusing my mind on the tender held by my company. It was clearly appeared on my laptop's screen. With the tender diagram progress, I could see that many medium-size companies and start-up businesses were offeri
Xavier POV "CLING!" The little noise of the padlock hitting the steel bars of the cell was apprehended. Then, I put the key in my pocket and sneered at Margie, "Enjoy yourself behind this luxurious cage. I'll release you when you change your mind and decide to return to me and this pack." She stared at me flatly and responded sarcastically, "Thank you for letting me stay here. No matter how long I will be alive, I choose to die instead of returning to you and fall into your love trap. That's the silliest thing I really regret and do!" Feeling the fury of anger heating my heart, I could only inhale gradually. I tried to manage myself to her mind game. I understood why she did the sarcasm. She was so eager to rise my blood pressure. Whenever I really got mad, she would be happier, feeling that she had knocked me down mentally. After staring at her for a moment, I decided
Bastian POV With the deal we made, we all agreed not to use our off-roaders to trespass the area we were running on. Based on our own efforts, we all, in our wolf forms, ran and followed the guidance of the monkey leader. The noise of our feet swinging accompanied our journey to the witch's place. Even, the slides of the fallen leaves were clearly heard while I ran along with Carter and Dave. They were also in their wolf forms. However, I felt a bit distinct although I was also in my wolf form. The reason was I was in a maroon hoodie as I ran and passed the area, while Dave and Carter let their wolves naked and show the divine abs. They looked more like the natural shifters than me. I was like a pet with a fancy piece of clothes. For some moments onwards, the monkey leader stopped in front of the tree-style castle and said, "We've arrived." "Is this the place?!" Dave running after me and Carter reached as he inquired to the monkey. "Yes, it is. It is finished to show y
On another circumstance, Margie was sitting on the garden bench. She let the sunlight kissed her fairy skin although her cheeks were red like tomatoes. Yet, it did not distract her attention because her hatred feeling to Xavier was bigger. There were a few causes of why she pursed her lips with her sharp stares. However, among the troubles, she felt so done with him, the only beef she was resentful of was how Xavier treated him. The ex-husband whom she ever loved acted as if he was genuine and sincere to get back together. Besides that, what really annoyed her was his sudden announcement about Luna Margareth's return. "D*mmit! He gets more disgusting day by day! He should never make a silly announcement about me. The strong reason is I'll never get back to him. No matter how good he treats me, I won't return to his embrace. He doesn't deserve the second chance!" Margie spoke in her mind. At that ti
Bastian POV When the sky was still dark and the time in my watch was around 02.10AM, we arrived at the Silver Fur Pack Palace. With the travel bags I pulled and the backpack hanging on my shoulders, I got off from the jeep car and followed Dave and Carter to enter the luxurious palace. It was as big as my mansion, but the inner view inside of the building was actually small. It was not really spacious either due to the placement of the certain furnitures and antiques. Carter loved collecting antique vases and renaissance pictures. "Matt!" Carter shouted as his orbs explored the first floor, trying to find the owner of the name. I knew who he meant by because I ever stayed in the palace twice. If this moment was included, it was considered as the third time. In less than few seconds, the man with a hundred and seventy centimeters appeared in the formal white shirt and black pants. "What's the matter, Alpha Carter?" He inquired carefully. It seemed that he was so obedient wit
The next two days, on Saturday in October, Bastian in his wolf form was picked up by Carter and Dave. The three Alphas decided to find Margie together with the help of Marina, the witch staying in the middle of Archipellago forest. With the dark blue Jeep Wrangler, they were on their way which took around two and a half hours to reach the destination. During that time, the Alphas exchanged the story and words. At first, it was done by Carter and Dave for casting the uneasiness feelings in Bastian's heart. However, as the minutes passed, Bastian joined the conversation. He did it because of the reminder of Doctor Carson to always maintain his stress level in the stable state. If he didn't do it, he might overthink each tragedy or hard situation, and he would not be able to shift into the human form. In the middle of discussion, Carter suddenly changed the topic by asking Dave, "Anyway, how is your little sister? Is she still hopeless romantic?" "Not anymore. She finally deci
Margareth POV "Are you challenging me, my ex-wife?" the male figure with his undercut hairstyle inquired as his orbs observed the details of my face carefully. To be frank, his stares were my favorite thing about him, especially when our mate bonds were still intact. I always made an eye contact with him whenever he teased me. It was lovely and cute before I witnessed his adultery by my own orbs. In contrast, his stares for me this time felt insincere. What I found mostly through his brown orbs were ego and lusts. Then, I rolled my eyes and replied, "Let's consider it as yes. I challenge you, so that you could not mess up with me anymore." In a split second, his widened gentle smile changed into the mean one, the sign that there was an ulterior motive of him for kidnapping me. "It seems that you are braver than I ever know. Does the royal Alpha teach you to be a badass she-wolf?" He sneered. I then smirked, squinted my eyes, and replied, "No. I'm actually fearless, but I h
Beta Asthon POV In an hour forward, after Gamma Cole helped me to move the Alpha in his room, I dialed Doctor Carson directly. Through the speaker, the waiting tones greeted me, expecting me to wait although I knew there would be a chance for the important figure not to answer the call. "Come on! Just answer the call, Doc!" I muttered as I looked at the Alpha being fastened on the bed like a patient with mental illness. While Gamma Cole decided to prepare the mini medical drawers, the place which was used by the Alpha for placing the pills and other ointments. Then, in a split second, the call was connected. "Good Day. How can I help you?" Doctor Carson opened the conversation. "Doc, this is me Beta Ashton of Red Iris Pack. My Alpha has shifted into the wolf form. Can you please come over for the medical check-up?" I mentioned the summary while expecting the doctor's positive a
Margareth POV Reacting to my question with a crafty smile, his phone buzzing distracted his attention. "Wait for a moment." He uttered while answering the call with the ear buds plugged on his ears. "Yeah, Sellie? Have you arrived?" He uttered casually while driving and passing the rows of vehicle in the street. "Yes, babe. I just arrive. Now, Nathan is practising on how to float." The she-wolf voice was heard a bit from the phone speaker. I was not eavesdropping, but that was how I apprehended the sound. "Have fun with him and always put your eyes on." He reminded her. It was like he wanted to make me jealous for being attentive to her. Yet, it did not work on me because my feelings to him had died long time ago. In less than five minutes, the call was ended. Then, his tenor v
Xavier POV "Selena, where will you go?? You cannot bring Nathan outside too much, remember?" I followed her as I waited for her answer. My brown orbs also noticed that she carried Nathan in her arms. Selena stopped and answered, "I'm sorry if I just tell you this news. Our pup has been registered to the swimming lesson since I want him to be healthier." I squinted and thought that it was such a useless thing to do. In addition, as a werewolf, we barely fought in the water. That was true we had our human physical bodies, but her excuse was weird, or it was just my instinct. "Isn't it too early for him? he is just a month old pup." I tried to negotiate with her. At the same time, I observed her expressions in detail, trying to find out the lies she tried to hide. "No, of course not. The coach says that it is a healthy way, so
