The next day, Bastian was dealing with a stack of agreements on his table. Through his silver-framed glasses, he read the clauses in each document carefully. He tried to be more meticuluous although it was tiring.
Then, in the middle of the document reading, he called Albus by phone. "Hello, Albus. I need to tell you one important thing," He stated with his strict gazes, describing that there was an issue that he was really concerened. "Go ahead. I'll be listening." Albus replied willingly. "Around a few days ago, I receive the reports that the ingredient samples sent by Arnold Company are found to be in bad qualities. Maybe, this company and factory don't have to be tied in a contract with them." Bastian stated decisively. He was not pleased with the report given by the factory manager, Daisy Welsh. Albus casually sitting on his sofa responded, "Isn't it too impulsive? I mean it'sMargareth POV Since we had not talked for almost a day, I get stunned by his unexpected existence. "Well, I-I.. work.." I stammered through my utterance. I didn't know why I was afraid to reveal the truth that I was working as a freelance barista. "Are you working??" His thick eyebrows were furrowed, making sure if he didn't hear the wrong the phrases. I then nodded as my gazes met his. Although I felt scared like a prisoner being sentenced to jail, I gathered my bravery and confidence to assure him. After that, he responded, "Why are you doing it? Do you really need some amount of money?" In a split second, I avoided his stares and answered, "I just want to be productive, and get paid at the same time. About money, I don't really think of it since I still have some amount of it in my investment account." Without any hesitation, his steps made a little distance with mi
As the weekdays passed, the weekend finally arrived, and it made the different vibes at Red Iris Mansion. Even when it was just a usual morning view when the maids were busy in the kitchen, the gardeners were working in the wide greenery, and the butler was washing the car in front of the garage, the feeling of the weekend was still distinct. The only cause was Bastian and Margie resolved to go to a branch of the gym centre, owned by Alpha Dave. Fortunately, the place which tended to be crowded and noisy was accompanied with the list of pop songs played through the sound system. The calm vibes in that place obviously made the Alpha and the she-wolf comfortable to chat while walking on the treadmill being placed next to each other. "Are you sure that you haven't been to the gym for two years? You look so fit although you eat snacks mostly." "I'm serious, Bastian. It's like today is a new fi
Margareth POV At first place, after getting so many helps from him, I felt that I should not bother him with my life or problems. Yet, this royal Alpha once again offered me his hands. It definitely made me uneasy to refuse his helps. "Trust me. You'll be safer, and none of the male wolves daringly touch you." He added confidently. Since I didn't like debating in this such kind of condition, I then released his grip from my right hand and walked to the bathrooms. Along with my steps, I could feel that he was following me from the back. At the same moment, I was impressed by his attentiveness towards me. "He can be very stubborn based on what I have observed recently, but other than that, his cares to me are the things that should not be underestimated." I wondered as I walked carefully and stepped inside the bathroom. Before I started to splash myself with the water from the shower, I
Margareth POV Feeling warm around my lips and throat because of his climaxes, I realized that my cheeks were blushed by his question. However, strangely, I who may walk out from his room insanely nodded and agreed. Even, I also removed my shirt, letting my bras expose in front of him consciously. After that, he brushed his tender lips towards mine. At first, he sucked my upper and lower lips in turns, and I let his tongue play with mine for a while. Along with his gentle and passionate kiss, I pressed his nape, signalling to deepen the kiss and explore my body. At the current moment, my logic was no longer working. What was in this mind was exploring my inner self anr focusing on my fated mate's needs. From the gentle kiss on my lips, his smooth brim brushed my neck and collar bones, making me moan since those parts were my sensitive side for making out.
While the relationship between Margie and Bastian started to fluorish, the intimate relation between Xavier and Selena became rocky recently. The soft spoken Alpha getting used to spoil the she-wolf with the sweet treatments had turned into a grumpy and demanding Alpha. That was exactly what Selena saw about her husband, especially when she complained about her needs regarding on her pregnancy. Especially, in the middle of the night when her legs were sore. The pregnant she-wolf tended to wake him up. Although he was awaken and pretty conscious, he would yap and blame her for not really understanding his tiresome body and mind. Then, he gave him the massage on her legs for a while. Yet, the movements of his hands towards her legs were too hard, and it didn't comfort her. "Ouch! Stop!" Selena yelled. "You hurt my legs!" added her. "Can't you respect my efforts?? Last time, you woke
When the new day greeted with the sunlight, Xavier being awaken by the alarm in his phone was astonished with his own condition, sleeping with the red hair she-wolf he barely knew or even got along with. "Oh my Moon Goddess! What the st*pid thing I have done! I sleep with the random she-wolf without thinking the risks I may take in the future." He pondered as he squeezed his hair resentfully. He still remembered how pissed off he was with Selena. Yet, he didn't plan to spend the night or make out with another she-wolf. He just wanted to chill himself out from the small problem occurred. After that, he dressed himself up and got out from the bar. Speeding up on the street, Xavier was on his way to the office. He didn't go back home because Selena might ask him why he didn't return back the previous night. Then, his mind focused on the mini project of his c
Margareth POV Before he really entered the room, I locked my sight on the sketch of myself on the piece of drawing paper. It was just brushed by an ordinary wooden pencil, but it looked more than just a simple masterpiece. I didn't know why I felt fluttered by this kind of thing. Then, while my sight were sticking on the sketch, I didn't really notice that the door was opened with his presence in the room. At that point, I immediately sat myself on the sofa, feeling nervous since he caught me being stunned by his work of art. While acknowledging one of his hobbies through his statement, I bravely stared at him and asked, "Why were you drawing me?" His lips began to curve downwards. Then, he answered, "Because you are attractive." "Do you think so? Why?" I kept questioning him. I guessed he was the only male-wolf who thought that I was attractive. W
Margareth POV Well, I actually should have returned to the mansion at twelve precisely. Nonetheless, the Alpha invited me to have lunch by delivering some amount of food through online. Besides that, he offered me a cup of cappucino. He even assured me to stay and stated that if I stayed at the mansion, I would be sleepier because of getting bored. In spite of debating his statements, strangely, I obeyed. I felt like I was charmed by a charming male witch. As four o'clock had peeked through my watch, I sitting on the sofa with a cup of the remaining cappucino observed Bastian with his laptop. I could see that he was truly busy with his task as a CEO. Therefore, I bravely permitted myself by saying, "Can I go now?" "Let me call the driver. Wait for a minute." He immediately paused the activity and grabbed his cellphone on the desk. Yet, since I planned to take
Maragareth POV Goodness gracious! my assumption towards my boyfriend was wrong. At the first place, I thought that he intended to pull on tricks on the innocent man. Once, I got the confirmation from him, I felt relieved. After that, his message through mind-link reached, "I don't like your interaction with this man. He is such an opportunist." "Do you think he will be like that?" I raised my left eyebrow while questioning through mind-link. "He will. Lucky for you since I notice it earlier." Bastian answered confidently in my mind. I instantly squinted my eyes and concluded through mind-link, "Ah, I know why you ask me to exchange the seat." Being able to read her mind, Bastian only stared at her and grinned. "Will you stand still if a few women attempt to get my attention? Trust me, you can never hold yourself if it happens f
Margareth POV "Attention to the passengers of Civic Airlines, with the destination to Macau, please get ready with the passports and the boarding passes since our administrators will check on it before the plane gates are opened. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation." The announcement was blaring through the speaker, and it made me awaken from a short-time sleep. "Let's queue in the provided space. We will depart to the destination soon." Bastian deep voice was also perceived by my ears. While I finished stretching, I took the belongings and tied them on the handle of the travel bag tightly. Then, I joined in the queue, waiting for the turns of checking the passport and the airplane ticket. By the seconds and few minutes counting, Bastian and I were able to get on the plane. However, we didn't sit next to each other since our rows were different. It separated us with different person next to us; Bastian was sitting next to the old man with the grey hair, while I
At another circumstance, Margareth and Bastian arrived at Taoyuan International Airport of Taipei. The time was about 06.10AM. They stepped down there for transiting around four and a half hours and exchanging plane. In the middle of the crowd, the couple held hands as they swayed their steps carefully. For some moments, they passed the rows of people. After getting their passport checked in the immigration, they explored the mall which was extended by the hall of the airport. Through their eyes, they observed some people were shopping in the boutiques and the other shops. In addition, a few of the shop owners were busy at arranging their stuffs on the shelves. It was obvious that they just started the shop opening. "Don't you want to buy some snacks or wine from here? Or maybe gifts?" Bastian distracted the she-wolf's attention at the right time. He kept observing the eage
Selena POV Seriously? my fragile Alpha husband appointed a random man to put his eyes on me?! I guessed he noticed a few things odd occurred at me recently. Oh crap! I really had to play my card wisely, before he really figured out what had happened between me and Gamma Richard. After Richard's assumption was acquired, my orbs were darted to the direction where a man was looking at me from a far, cautiously. "I guess he will not do such a thing, Rich. He is always busy," I tried to push away his further assumption to chill out. "Didn't you say that he was kinda possessive? Even to his ex-wife?" Richard recalled the detail I shared a few weeks before. I directly realized it, and it made sense if Xaviet hired a person to stalk on my activities outside the castle. "Thanks for reminding. Now, I start concluding if your assumption is correct. Indeed, we need to move to ano
Margareth POV "Welcome to Macau Airlines. May I see your ticket, Miss?" the tall and young figure greeted me warmly. Without any hesitation, I handed in the boarding pass, letting her check which seat I was placed. "All right, Miss. Your seat is 3F, next to the Alpha's." The stewardess uttered while returning the boarding pass to me. I just inclined and began to look at the seat numbers on the top of each divided rows. While I found the seat number, Bastian stared at me and said, "It's such a coincidence, isn't it? We are next to each other although I didn't pick the seats while booking for our tickets." I grinned and replied, "Either coincidental situation or I'm just lucky. At first, I guessed that you had booked the seats for us, so no wonder why it was close to each othe
As August, the most anticopated month, came, Bastian and Margie got ready with their travel bags and the belongings on themselves. Whenever they got into the car, Beta Ashton helped the driver to load the bags on the car luggage. In less than five minutes, the black SUV car walked away from the mansion area to the public street. In that case, Bastian sitting next to Margie in the back passenger seat uttered, "Are you nervous?" "Not really. Maybe, because we haven't been in the airplane or boardinf state." Margie answered while looking at the dark sky. At that time, it was around 03.15 A.M. Then, Bastian held her hand gently and said, "You need to prepare yourself while arriving at Macau." "Is it really pretty?" Margie got curious since her b
Margareth POV Another pretty warm evening greeted. I having just arrived at the mansion still in my casual attire along with the black apron embracing my front body. Along with my gradual steps inside the spacious building, the tiring feeling lingered on my body. "I guess he has been asleep since it is already quite late." I muttered while reaching the kitchen. I could only sigh and enjoyed the silence as my companion tonight. Then, I took an pack of instant sandwich from the two-door refrigerator. I decided to take the instant meal since I felt the sudden hunger was not tollerant to me this night. Once the instant sandwich was heated in the microwave, I checked on the notifications on my phone carefully. A row of notifications almost confused me to pick, yet I decided to reply on few of them since they were quite important. "TING!" The sound
Margareth POV Once my butt touched his laps, my heart trembled unsteadily. While listening to his inquiry, I gulped and answered, "No, you are not a player, but I just want to see if you may consider the wedding as an unserious thing." "It's more than just serious to me." He responded calmly with his deep and slightly raspy voice. His orbs gently locked at mine while his right hand fixed my hair gradually. Through his gazes, I could catch the honesty and sincerity combined together. It was exactly similar to how he behaved, specifically when he was eager to help people around him. "How is it? Can you explain to me?" I cupped his face with my hands while rubbing his cheeks tenderly. Surprisingly, he diverted his stared for me. He also hummed and replied, "It's like when we really want something, but we can't get it for free." I
Margareth POV In thirty minutes inwards, I sat next to the woman whom I just acknowledged as Bastian's mom. Although she looked nice, I still needed to gather myself. I could not behave casually since it was my first time to see her as a woman dating her son for a month and more. "So, you two have dated for a month, haven't you?" Mrs. Alford inquired with her carefully stares towards me and Bastian. "Yeah, and it's still counting." Bastian answered it bravely. He also grabbed my right hand tightly, indirectly assuring his mom that we were couple being in love with each other. The truth was exactly like that as my feelings towards him were growing like the grass of the garden around the mansion. The elegant woman in her mid fifties grinned at me meaningfully. Then, she uttered, "Great. Finally, my beloved son finds his love." Along wi
