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 reBastian POV With the heart skipping a beat, my focus on the cookies was distracted to her face. It was caused by her sudden offer of staying for the night. Previously, I never predicted her to say such a thing, but the reality seemed like night and day. As an Alpha who had ever been close to some girls, either omega or the daughters of Beta or Alpha, it was quite common to be offered to stay for a night in their houses. They did it since they elevated their expectation to the highest about me. Obviously, it was such a prestigious chance to have me as their mates because I could be considered as the youngest Alpha among the top-tier pack. Nevertheless, I rejected their offers politely with the suitable excuses. Yet, regarding on Margie's offer, I felt a strange attraction. Currently, my heart was pounding as my orbs met hers. Through her gaze, I could sense that the offer was a formality since the rain was getting harder along wi
Margareth POV "Hmmmh.." With the closed eyes, I mumbled as my ears were greeted by the song sung by the birds outside the windows. It was a sign that the night had been replaced by a brand new day. Slowly, I woke up and got up. I rubbed my messy hair and yawned for a while. With the thought of greeting Bastian in the morning, I rolled the knob and walked out from the room. Then, I confidently smiled. However, before a greeting and few words came out from my mouth, I realized that the living room was empty. On the sofa, there were only a folded blanket along with a pillow. "Where is he?" I pondered. Then, I swayed my feet to the kitchen, assuming that he might be eating or having a cup of coffee. Yet, I found none of his existence in the kitchen where the dining table was also located. At that point, my orbs were darted to a plate of sandwich with a short folded notice written on the
On another place, Selena with the maternity wear that covered her belly was vomiting in the toilet. The noise was almost perceived every morning or afternoon. Either Xavier or maids being around her was annoyed. Furthermore, among the members of the castle who got very irritated towards Selena and her pregnancy was Xavier. It might sound ridiculous for those acknowledging the recent truth in Brown Iris Pack, but it was an irresistable fact. The irresponsible Alpha often showed his annoyance to his lover. Then, Selena was unhappy because her expectation to get more attention from Xavier was banished by the bitter reality. After she finished vomiting, she walked out from the toilet and drink a glass of water that was placed on the bedside table. At that point, Xavier just reached the room for taking his watch. He was getting ready to go to the office. Then, while seeint Selena, about to walk out from the
Meanwhile, Margie and Bastian had arrived at the Red Iris Mansion. No matter how long she had left the luxurious building, its interiors and furnitures were succeeding in catching her attention. Even, when she was stepping on the stairs, her orbs were sticking to every detail of the mansion. "Ehmm.." Bastian cleared his throat for a moment. Then, he sarcastically added, "If I was not mistaken, the lady I invite here was not eager to be back to this mansion. Yet, her eyes are so sticky towards this building." Margie being distracted smiled and declared, "Well, I admit that your mansion alsways catches my heart and orbs. It's so eye-candy." As he carried the medium-size travel bag, Bastian slightly nodded and uttered, "I also admit that as the owner, but I build this mansion after my company is quite successful." Getting astonished by the trivia, Margie gasped and responded, "Really? This mansion is y
Margareth POV "What should we do then if she doesn't answer?" I threw another question to my wolf. "Let it be then. You know fated mates and mate bonds are related to each other. Whenever you realize about your fated one, the bonds between you two will be automatically created." Emma stated. Maybe, she didn't have enough information since she had not had any chance to interact with Bastian's wolf. I sighed in a second and responded, "Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. I guess I'll sleep after this. Let's see if Moon Goddess comes and gives her time to talk about fated mates or bonds." "My pleasure, Margie. I also want to take a nap. Please excuse me." Emma responded and asked a permission to close the mental connection. With myself being alone, I started to fix the pillow and blanket position for a few minutes. Then, I closed my eyes and lied in the most relaxing position. At first, in
Margareth POv Going on hunting was an activity that I barely did. Especially, since I got married to Xavier and was pretty busy with my duties to the pack. In contrast, while I was an omega and a daughter of an Alpha, I did hunting pretty often. At that time, Emma, my wolf, had not appeared yet. In that kind of situation, I along with Jessie and another friend, Gwen went hunting with different physical forms. I ran in this human body, while those two girls were in their wolf forms. Therefore, some human beings might be mistaken me for living with the wolves since I had no wolf at that time. Moreover, at the current time, I joined Bastian for hunting in Scandrial forest. It was like commemorating my omega era, but in this chance, I came with my wolf, and I was sure if the feeling would be different, especially it was my first time hunting with a male wolf and an Alpha of the top-tier pack. With the
Bastian POV I knew she was married before. I also realized that it was failed because her chosen mate was cheating and not respecting her efforts. Yet, before she expressed her astonishment through the unfinished words, I bravely grabbed her nape and brushed my lips to hers gently. After I sucked her upper lip, I licked it, and began to caress her lower lip with mine. When I had tilted my head a bit, I stopped kissing her and said, "Don't say that you are not worthy for what you have got currently. That's how fate brings us, either good or bad." "I know, but I..." She attempted to resist for another time, but I gently placed by point finger on her lips and declared, "Let me tell you, and you should note it." She just stared at me with her confusing gaze. Then, I added, "I'm never ashamed to have you as my fated mate. You might have been a Luna of the pack. You might have been marked and mated by him. Yet
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
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
