Bastian POV
When the time was around 11.30 a.m, I decided to have a break at the cafetaria with Beta Ashton. While I have opened a can of espresso, the blonde guy in front of me started the conversation, "I never see you behave like this, Alpha. It's very rare." I sipped the black and bitter-taste liquid and replied, "What do you mean by, Ashton?" "I mean with the other women, you don't really put much concern towards them. They were known to be charming either, but they didn't seem to attract you." Beta Ashton stated the fact that made me remember about a few years back, when my parents were busy matchmaking me with other random she-wolves. I smiled a bit as some moments from the past memories appeared in my brain. I realized that I was pretty desperate in finding his fated mate, so I agreed whenever my parents tried to matchmake me with the random she-wolves. Yet, it didn't go well like what they everBastian POV I really prepared a few things to impress Margie, either she was still fainted or in awaken condition. However, the most hateful scene appeared as I stepped inside the VIP room. The Alpha who had rejected and betrayed my fated mate came, as if nothing happened between them. That was why I asked him rudely. Moreover, I also asked him to leave the room because I was afraid if he would harm Margie physically or mentally for another time. Nonetheless, after I casted him away, he replied, "Well, no need to over possessive towards her. She and I haven't attended the court for finalizing the divorcing process. Another fact, she needs to give up her title in the modest ceremony." "But she needs more rest now. Just look at how exhausted she is." I found a good reason to make him leave although it might not the best one. "All right. I give up this time, just because I don't want to hear a pup barking for being
Looking at the interaction between his Alpha and Margie, Beta Ashton observed the intense gaze done by Bastian to the she-wolf. At that point, he concluded that his single Alpha gave some clues on courting Margie although it was not really clear. "I guess it's just an initial state of courting the ex-Luna. However, if he intends to do so, I don't really mind about it. As long as he is happy, I will feel the same way since he has been alone for quite long. In other words, I can say that Alpha is not a player type." Beta Ashton pondered. Then, during the silence between them, Doctor Carson along with a nurse entered the room and said, "Excuse me. It's time to check the patient." "All right. Here she is." Bastian walked backwards and let the doctor do the medical check-up. Once the check-up for heartbeat and eyes done, the nurse followed it by checking the blood pressure using the manometer. "The blood pressure is norma
Acknowleding what the meaning of Xavier's utterance, Margie sighed, sipped a little amount of water from the glass and said, "Yeah, I'm serious with my decision. Just take the food back to the castle. Give it to Selena since she will be the mom of your upcoming pup." Xavier with his bright gaze towards Margie smiled and replied, "All right if you say so, but whenever you need anything, just ask me." Margie then inquired, "Why should I? Mind if I tell you the truth?" "Go ahead." Xavier let his ex-mate speak. "First, we have rejected each other, and will be officially divorce. Next, you need to focus on Selena and your pup. They need you more than others. The last, don't mind about me or any circumstance that I will be. I can take care of myself." Margie made herself clear through her sentences. She even hoped that her ex-mate would stop annoying her around. Xavier's smile disappeared
On the other side, Xavier dialed one of his minions, and he was talking to him in his mad expression. It was obvious that his mood was messed up that day. "Have you followed them? How is it?" He investigated impatiently. "I'm doing it right now, Sir. They are speeding up, and I need to follow them carefully." The man with black sleeveless t-shirt said. Xavier sighed and demanded, "No matter how crowded the street is, follow them! Once you have done, figure out the street name and the adress information where the car stops! Understood??" The man replied, "Okay, Sir." "If you can finish this task, I'll pay you with extra money." Xavier persuaded the trusted minion he knew from a friend. The man feeling challenged by what his boss asked replied, "I'll make sure it's done." "Good." Xavier uttered shortly as he disconnected the call with his stern expression.
Margareth POV After I uttered the sarcastic sentences, his panic gazes turned into the softer and genuine one. That kind of glare was barely found to me. As he rubbed my knuckle gently, he said, "I can guarantee that there will be no Love War in my mansion." I then pulled my hands from his touch and inquired, "Why don't we look at the situation first? Maybe, in a week or a month." "What if you are injured by the strangers or serial killers?" Bastian began to express that he thought about the matter too over. By listening to the question, I also noticed his gaze that was full of uneasiness. "I may run from them." I answered it calmly although I wasn't sure if I could always run from dangers. Bastian with his gaze darted at me inquired again, "What if you are kidnapped, and I'm not able to find and rescue you in time??" I blinked a second and said, "Why
Margareth POV After I lied on the bed for a while, I decided to step out from the bedroom. As I reached the living room, the savoury scent of the instant noodle cup smooched my nose. It certainly rose the hunger rambling in my stomach. "Just sit and eat here! It's just cooked." Jessie waved at me and pulled the chair next to her. I obeyed her request and grabbed a cup of instant noodles along with the chopstick. "Why don't you eat first? It's cooked, isn't it?" I was surprised since her cup was not yet opened. "I'm just about to call you, but fortunately you come out from the bedroom." Jessie said while her hands began to open the seal on the top of noodle cup. Through the cup, I could see its steam and the red brine which was mixed with the noodles and mixed vegetables a little bit. It was certainly spicier than mine because I just realized that the flavor my noodle cup was just garlic chicken broth
On another place and day, Bastian sitting in his room, in the office was talking to Alpha Carter through the phone call. "How is it? Is your fated mate with you now?" the barritone voice owner inquired curiously. "Not yet. She is still staying at her pack. It seems that she might never choose my mansion as her final decision to stay." The pessimistic feeling started to linger in the Alpha's mind. Carter raised his eyebrows and commented, "What makes you think so? Don't you say that she is your fated-mate?" Bastian rolled his eyes and declared, "Yeah, I do. I realize it when I meet her for the first time, but I notice that a few troubles came between me and her." "That's just the tests between you and her. After you find her, there will be some obstacles that you must face with her." Carter uttered, indirectly lecturing his best friend. Bastian sighed for a few moments. Then, Carter
Margareth POV My curiosity could not be held any longer. After I heard the same suggestion about staying at Red Iris Mansion, I observed his face, trying to read what his motives towards me exactly. Yet, I found nothing. My grey-orbs kept scanning his true motive for being so eager to have me in his mansion. Nonetheless, it was like finding a needle among the hays. Instead, I felt that he was really genuine through his offer. "Margie?" He called my name, shattering my thoughts to his masmerizing visual with a long bleeding wound on his right cheek. "Yes?" I said with inquisitive gaze. "I'm worried about you because you are my mate." Bastian locked his stare at me while uttering. Those words made my heart beat faster, and I don't know why it was coincidentally related as if it must have been like that. I feeling like in a dreamland after listening to his utterance re
Margareth POV His touch and gazes, the things that always succeeded at making my tongue stiffened. I actually wanted to pull back, but it seemed that I was lost in his gentle touch. Yet; when his face got closer to me, I immediately pulled back, as my logic reminded about how the wounds in my heart were. "Well, I'm sorry. I don't mean it." He also gained his consciousness and removed his thumb from my lips directly. He then avoided his eyes from mine while taking a new glass and pouring the rest of orange juice into it. Along with his sudden action, I walked further and permitted myself, "I'll go showering first then. Bye for now." He just nodded, letting me disappear from his sight. Furthermore, I entered the bedroom and opened the water to fulfill the bathtub. I was in a mood for soaking my body in the warm water which was full of foamy body soap. Once it was enough, I added a little amount of bubble
Bastian POV I knew she might recognize the attraction between us gradually. Nevertheless, I could not let it happen through the time being. It was like wasting my time mostly. If she ended up with me finally, it would be a blessing, but if it was not like that, what should I do then? That was why I initiated to buy a medium-size bouquet of roses for showing her my true intention. People might thing that it was too flashy, but I didn't care. For me now, I wanted her to realize that I would always be available for her. After she acknowledged my motives, I heard her soft voice sweeping my hearing sense, "Why do you choose me? I don't feel attractive even though I have a right to find someone new." "Because I want to be commited to you. I know words may not be the strong proofs, but let me show them that I'm serious with you." I walked towards her as I said. Then I gently grabbed her hands.
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
