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 coFor 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
After giving a CPR for two times, Margie coughed and gained her conciousness. "Huff..huff!" She coughed so hard while opening her eyes. That kind of response certainly reduced Bastian's uneasiness. "Bas-tian??" She reacted shockingly."Yes, I'm here." He responded and continued, "What makes you fall into the river? it's quite dangerous although it's shallow.""Well, I could not really remember it clearly." Margie said while squeezing her forehead a bit. It seemed that she was a bit dizzy after drowning for a while. "Let's back to the mansion." Bastian suggested, and he started carrying her on bridal style position. By the time as their body got closer, Margie felt a strong heat surrounded around the Alpha's muscular body. That kind of heat was never embracing her before, even when she ever hugged Xavier, she didn't feel such a thing. "Why is his temperature hotter than Xavier? he is
Margareth POV With the moments passed along with the tickling of the wall clock, the day I could not wait arrived and greeted me with the sunshine. Yeah, the day was pretty cheerful, very contrast with my heart being blue from the first time I stayed in this mansion. However, as I stayed here longer, I noticed a few things related on my marriage with Xavier. Unfortunately, those things were mostly negative. One of them was I should never regret for leaving him or even rejecting his offer to bring me back to Brown Iris Pack. That thing I just realized was based on the commitment I had contributed to him and the pack, not to mention my responsibility as his wife. For some other werewolves, it was wise enough to forgive your mate for his or her wrongdoings. I admitted it was a wise advice. Nonetheless, it was just about a principle being held by other werewolves. Moreover, I felt free for not forgivi
Around an hour and a few minutes, Bastian and Margie arrived at Brown Iris Castle. With a pack of cheesecake she had bought a day before, Margie confidently knocked on the door. However, it was not opened by either Xavier or Selena. Instead, through inside of the door, Calista as one of the maids shouted, "Wait a minute!" Once it was opened, the short dark hair woman was shocking since it had been a long time for her not to see her Luna. "L-Luna?? Is this really you?" Calista stammered with her widened stares. She couldn't believe that it was the time when she met her Luna after she heard the news about Xavier's affair. "Hello, Calista. Nice to see you again." Margie greeted the maid. Following with that, the maid hugged her and replied, "Where have you been in a month and more? Alpha Xavier could not really handle this pack alone. He mostly spends his time to be with Selena, My Luna." Calista inquired and told the truth of Xavier, t
Margareth POV A few slashes in my wounded heart made my eyes teary all of a sudden. It occurred during the rejection vow uttered by Xavier, an Alpha who was no longer I can call him as mine. It was hurt if I admited it in the honest way, but this was nothing when I had to compare it with his betrayal towards my commitment. As the tears run down on my face, Bastian calmed me down by holding my left hand and whispering, "That's okay. You can cry as much as you want." After that, Selena's voice was coming out as she uttered, "Finally! You reject her, Babe!" Following with her exclamation words, the pregnant she-wolf gently hugged Xavier's left shoulder. Her loving and heartwarming smile also appeared with the sweet attitude. In contrast, Xavier didn't look happy while receiving the such treatment. Unfortunately, my ex mate kept his gaze on me, and he seemed not to be comfortable w
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
