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 offeriAfter 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
At ten minutes onward, the steak ordered by Bastian and Margie came in the hotplates. Those tempting view on the table made Margie amazed since she barely ate the steaks on such kind of utensil. While she was about to take a knife and a fork, Bastian offered, "Do you mind if I slice them for you? Your steak looks a bit hard from outside." "Well, that's fine. I'll slice it by myself." Margie softly rejected his offer. Then, she continued, "You can enjoy your meal anyway." Bastian casually replied, "Okay." While he was busy slicing the medium-rare steak, Margie was stunned with the texture of the meat along with its blood. "Isn't it nasty? it's the blood of the cow as my eyes have checked from here," Margie added. "Yes, it looks nasty for other werewolves. It will be different story for me." Bastian immediately described how he really liked his steak to be done. Margie just stroke a tiny
Bastian POV "What do you mean by? I don't disturb or even touch her." Harper insisted with her innocent stares at me. I cleared my throat and retorted, "Don't act like you do nothing. I know you tried to harm her." Those innocent orbs directly glanced at somewhere else. I knew she was lying because she did trying to put Margie into a trouble. Although it made my fated mate drowning and fainted, it was still unforgivable. In that case, I aimed to make her realize where she stood at. In sum, she admitted, "Another new thing that you must know about me is I don't really like looking at your interaction with her, the runaway Luna." "What did you just say? Runaway Luna?" Bastian demanded with his stern look. He then made it clear by saying, "Let me emphasize her actual identity, she is just a werewolf like us. Next, she is betrayed by his chosen mate, and it is very awful since her mate has a mistress. Now,
Feeling rejected and hurt the most in the situation, Harper widened her stares and stated, "She is no body here, Bastian! She will cause a trouble for you if she keeps staying here!" Bastian with the rage in himself replied, "Do you even think if casting her away from here will make me like you?? Don't pull my legs, Harper! I'll keep it the same, you are just a friend and nothing else!" "Well, I realize it now, what kind of person you are." Harper said while wiping her tears. Through her gaze, it was completely decribed that she was so messed up with her unrecruited love to Bastian. In that case, she continued, "And I feel regretful for falling to someone like you. Today, I also realize that you will choose this she-wolf over your own childhood friend. What a pathetic Alpha you are! Prioritizing stranger is like your main task, but when it is about your childhood friend, it's nothing." Bastian squeezed his
Whenever the belongings were set up completely, Jessie started the engine as her hand held the power steering and stirred it to the left. In a few seconds, her white car gradually left the Red Iris Mansion area. Along with her focus on the less crowded street, she uttered, "Why do you suddenly move out? Is he casting you away?" "Let's say that I don't want to bother him too much." Margie confirmed with her tiny smile and her uneasiness gaze darted on Jessie's for a while. The she-wolf with the brown iris eyes squinted and commented, "Then, it sounds too extreme. I mean you must look at your own situation now, Margie." Margie glanced at her and said, "I know, Jessie, but I can never stay in the mansion for too long." Jessie shook her head a little a protested, "No matter how you have bothered him, it's actually Bastian who is eager to help you at first. No need to feel that it has bothered him too much
Selena POV After I left Brown Iris Castle, I resolved to go to the Black Fur Pack by bus. The journey might be around one and a quarter hour, but it was finer than staying in the castle and bickering with the dumbest husband and Alpha. I knew I ever fell for him, and so he did. However, it seemed that I only wanted him for a short time being. From the recent perspective, I realized that I just obsessed with him since he had greater status than mine, as an omega, previously. In contrast to my feelings to Richard, I felt more open to him although he was just a Gamma of Black Fur Pack, my origin pack before I resided and got married to Xavier. Moreover, I could be myself more around him. I didn't have to show my sexiness too much, unlike when I was with Xavier. As I seated myself on the bus, the slight cold air from the air conditioner on the top kissed the tip of my head. At this point, I also noticed that the bus was not really crowded. There were so many empty seats around,
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
