Eero's perspective"I'm sorry, Aelice. I'm sorry that I thought of something like that, but your father hates me to the core, and I really thought that." I stopped myself from speaking midway and popped a smile, "I'm sorry."Aelice nodded her head. My friend pulled me into a hug and whispered how sorry she was."It's all in the past now. We should forget about this, but promise me no secrets from now on, will you?" Aelice asked, lightly squeezing my arm."I don't want something like this to happen aga
Eero's perspectiveDays turned to weeks, and weeks to months. Before I even knew it, years had passed by.My brows met with confusion as the dress I was supposed to wear for a meeting with a client and investor today was nowhere to be seen."I swear I left it on the bed before I showered," I continue to whisper."I let go of the towel I was using to dry my hair. I had looked at every corner of the room, but I still couldn't find it anywhere."Ophelia!" I called our maid.With a floor map in her left hand, she barges inside my room after a few minutes."Hi, Ophi, but did you happen to see a black dress here? The one Miguel and I bought the other day." Ophelia shook her head in response. Even so, her eyes automatically roamed the entire room to help me find it.My eyes landed on a familiar piece of Lego on the floor near my bed."I walked past your room to clean Sir Miguel's room, but I didn't notice a dress on your bed, your grace," she said to me.I turned to her and shook my head befo
Eero's perspective"Mr. Ang, it's nice to finally meet you," I said with a smile while shaking his hand. The CEO of San Miguel Corporation smiled back and gestured to the chair.Miguel and I sat there almost at the same time."You're an heir to RGC. The Alpha King's heir too. The one who'll be the next Alpha of Regulus? But the Alpha King and the Luna Queen had a son too. Do you remain the Alpha King's heir? Or he'll soon change that?" Mr. Ang asked smilingly after drinking his wine. The curve on my lips disappeared, especially since I didn't know how to answer that now.
Eero's perspective"Mother, what's taking Father so long?" There was a hint of irritation in Perseus' voice when he asked me that. I looked down at him and saw him remove the denim jacket that he placed above our luggage.Apart from Miguel's late arrival to pick up Perseus and me, the hot weather seemed to have added to my son's bad mood.Perseus seated himself on the bench again and crossed both of his arms against his chest which somehow made me smile.I couldn't help but take a photo of him secretl
Eero's PerspectiveEven when I'm in the middle of an important meeting. All that I could think of was how it affected me when I saw Claudius with his fated mate."How about we infused our trademark, Eero? The rustic interior design with a more dramatic vibe?" I took my eyes off the laptop where our interior designer's presenting some of her ideas for the gallery. My eyes landed on Diana and saw her holding a magazine featuring Victorian-era-themed interior designs for luxury places.Diana looked up at me before she reached for the said magazine. "Although I have made my decision that I'd like our Gallery here in Regulus to share the same design and ambience with the Blackthorn branch. The rustic and laid-back theme, I am still up for some tiny changes," I said to the interior designer.My eyes quickly ran through each page of the magazine that Diana handed to me after she scanned it through. I was only halfway through it when Diana fully convinced me to make the Regulus branch a Vi
Eero's PerspectiveDiana fakes a smile. "It's nice seeing you again. How am I supposed to address you? Do you still go by Alpha Claudius or just Engineer Cormac who works for RGC?" Diana asked.She looked at me as if Diana expected me to understand the meaning of those looks that Claudius was giving me. When I still couldn't get it, Claudius raised his eyebrows and sneered at me.I gulped simultaneously. With each step that I take to come closer to him, I am losing both my strength and sanity.After our quick meeting at the milk tea shop a week ago. I'm not ready to see him again.When I was only two or three steps away from him. I stilled on my spot as I couldn't bear to continue daring to approach him."You know them, Mr. Cormac?" My eyes did not miss seeing how Claudius casually nodded to his secretary."Yes. She's my..." Claudius stopped talking and let his sentence hang in mid-air for a moment as he checked on me shamelessly. The muscle of his jaw moved and just like before
Eero's Perspective"I'll go ahead, Eero. Don't worry if you don't want to stop by at the realm. I won't tell your father that I bumped into you," Luna Queen Aelice said. She waved her hand at Perseus and turned her back to us.I watched her walk out of the coffee shop. My wolf urged me to drag Perseus away from this place until my wolf alerted me of a shifter's presence."Shit! It's Beta Caspian! Why is he here?" I whispered to myself."Mom, do you know who he is?" Perseus asked. His voice is filled with curiosity and so is his pair of innocent eyes. I looked at Caspian who was seriously looking at Perseus.I averted my eyes from Caspian and looked down on Perseus who was waiting for a reasonable answer from me.I smiled sweetly as I crouched to level his height with mine."Does he know you? It looks like he knows you. Because if not and he's looking at you like that then he's being rude and creepy?" Perseus asked.
Eero's Perspective"But, you'll be back soon, right? When Perseus wakes up I'm sure he'll look for you and you know that I'm not good at lying, Eero." I nodded at Diana and strode my way to the door to leave."And I thought you only agreed to be adopted by Codrus because of the power and connections that you'll get to have," My wolf commented after it felt how deeply affected I was by the possibility that Codrus' days are short and it's only a matter of short time before he took his last breath."He adopted me for his selfish reason, but you know too that Codrus had learned to love me like his own pup. He did his best to protect me and Perseus. When Alice had a miscarriage everyone was pointing at me as the mastermind of that tragedy." I closed my eyes, not wanting to dig deep at the memories of the painful memories."The Alpha King believed me. He was the reason why Beta Octavio couldn't do anything to me, and my son.""Don't be scared, Eero
