Aaron left Eon on his study, feeling dejected. He glanced at his watch and was about to leave the club when he caught a sight of his daughter. He sighed and painted a cheerful smile on his lips as he approached her.
“Hey, Lar! Is your brother treating you well?” He reached for her elbow as he sat down on the barstool. She just finished bringing a drink to a customer and her face brightened when she saw him. At least this offspring of him is heartwarming unlike the one he left that was still growling in anger just because he insisted for him to return home.
“Pa,” Larissa swallowed a lump in her throat and smiled widely at her father. She wasn’t expecting him to come to the bar. “Eon is a good employer,” she winked at her old man, chuckling.
“I can see that. He made a man of himself here.” He mouthed, “thank you” when Larissa put a cold beer in front of him.
“Did you tell him that?” She lifted her brow at him. Her brother and her father both shared a co
Aaron didn't bother to knock on Eon's study. He pushed the door wide open, startling Eon who was on the phone. His eyes turned darker when he saw him back in his office. He must have been talking to someone important because even though his pupils were visibly shaking in anger, he didn't cut the phone conversation to snap him into two. He sat down on one of the two chairs in front of his son's massive desk. He just noticed that it's red oak. He didn't wait long for Eon to finish his call and as soon as he dropped the call, the table that he was admiring was flipped across the room. "Why are you back?" He asked, roaring. "Sit down!" He let his wolf come out and snarled at his own son. He acknowledges the fact that he has some fault with the death of his Luna but Eon has to understand that he did what he had to do to fulfill a wish of a dying person. He has to honor his words. It doesn't matter if Eon would hate him forever. Eon may be an Alpha but in t
“What did you talk to my father about?” Larissa approached Lina with a new drink. “Nothing much.” Lina creased her forehead because she just lied to Larissa. She had no thought of lying. Before Larissa approached her, she was thinking of asking her about the strange questions of Aaron but the moment Larissa asked her the question, she found herself lying without qualms as if her own survival was on the line. ‘I should just sleep and stop drinking coffee.’ “I see.” Larissa smiled but Lina for some reason felt like running away from the other girl. She averted her eyes for she suddenly feared that Larissa could read her thoughts which were absurd. Her eyes landed on the new drinks that Larissa prepared. “I think I should stop drinking.” She pushed the drink away from her and got up from the barstool. “You going?” Larissa scanned the crowd. The party is in full swing and yet Lina is leaving. She creased her forehead. Not only that she ordered wea
“I’ll be on my way now, dear. Sorry for disturbing you.” Beatrice, this time, apologized sincerely. Lina sensing the change from Beatrice, took the opportunity to ensure that the other woman wouldn't come to disturb her again. “I’m sorry also if my lights keep you awake at night.” She lowered her shoulders to show her regrets. She had all the practice in the past for her to pull off a fake sadness. “Oh, no…no,” she shook her head, “you don’t have to worry about it, dear. I just forgot that your job requires you to stay awake at night. Don’t worry about it. I like you because you’re quiet and you have a handsome visitor.” She winked lecherously. Lina who was acting all remorseful threw her head and laughed with total abandonment. It was just too funny to see the old woman blushed over Eon. Her crush for him was just too cute. Well, she can’t really blame Beatrice. Eon is a sight to behold. She giggled. Beatrice giggled too—like a teenager caught on her
Growling, he said, "Leave now." He let his wolf take over, and his father had no other choice. Aaron didn’t let out his wolf because he wanted to convince Eon as a father, not as an Alpha of the pack but it was unsuccessful. The hurt Eon has for him runs deep and it won’t be fixed by a sudden visit. Now, his only hope to change Eon’s mind is the guardian. If Eon’s wolf could develop a relationship with the guardian, Eon would be the perfect candidate to get the position of being an Alpha from him. He is his son, he’s capable—just mateless for his Luna died. But now, everything could change. He slowly got up from the chair and walked to the door. “I’ll be back. Take care of the guardian.” He reminded him before he left. Eon threw the thick red oak table to the end of the room and it slammed on the door, making the bookshelves shake in their hinges. The table didn’t break, not because it was sturdy but because his wolf controlled his strength. He likes his desk
Eon escaped the ongoing VIP party at Luna, went down to his private basement parking, and brought out one of his sports cars—the one the Lina likes. He chuckled wryly by himself and his laughter sounded strange in his own ears as it reverberated in the quiet parking lot. He no longer remembered when was the last time he laughed. And why does it matter if Lina likes the car he will use? It’s his damn car and he likes all of them, thus, it’s part of his collection. However, he still used the car that Lina likes in the garage. ***Since her landlady found out about her being good at painting she became lenient to the point of spoiling her, especially since she painted some of the blooms in the garden when she had nothing to paint. And when Beatrice saw the painting that she gladly gave her for free, her old landlady squealed in delight. Now, Lina can do basically anything in her apartment without her landlady checking on her. Like right now, she was playing s
The room spun and Lina lost her footing and she fell directly into Eon’s arms, but she couldn't say anything but make a sound because his mouth was on hers, stopping her from complaining—she wasn’t going to complain though. She even opened her mouth to accept Eon's scorching tongue and she had her arms circled around his neck. "What happened to your living room?" He asked when he lifted his lips from hers and he didn't find the couch in the living room. He scanned the room that was littered with unfinished canvas and opened a new tube of paint. "I don't have a living room," she said, creasing her brows. " I don't need a living room, my landlady has a beautiful garden." She pulled her arms off his neck and she was about to step away from Eon when he bent down and picked her up from the floor, carried her in his arms, and headed to her bedroom. "Hey! What are you doing?" “Carrying you.” His expression told her that question was a foolish one. The punch
Lina was out of breath and panting, yet, she couldn’t take a moment to stop to catch her breath. The red moon that adorned the night sky was simply breathtaking to stare but it didn’t do anything to light the ground she was running on. She felt a piece of wood break her skin when a dry tree branch that she stepped on broke; she flinched with the pain but she didn’t stop running. They are coming. She doesn’t know who or what they are but they are coming to get her. She had no idea how she knew but she simply followed her instinct. “Hah, hah,” she bent down, her hands pressed on her knees. Sweat pooled under her eyes and her forehead, hindering her eyesight, making it more difficult to run. She didn’t want to stop but her chest felt like it was going to burst. She was palpitating and shivering in fear of the unseen danger. She was about to straighten her back to run again when she heard a wild animal growling behind her and her body involuntarily shuddered in terror. “
“Lina, it would be difficult for me to not treat you nicely. For there is no reason for me to do otherwise.” He said his statement as gently as possible. Lina doesn’t have to say that she’s hurt. The pain was visible in her eyes and she didn't seem to realize it. He reached out to touch her but she recoiled like a wounded animal. Eon gritted his teeth in anger to whoever in the past broke her heart for her to be in such pain. “You’re not going to stay…that’s a reason enough for you not to treat me nicely.” She spat the words in disgust. Eon being rational just irked her because it would melt the invisible shield that she painfully put up all her life to protect her from getting hurt. She already made a mistake once in the past—lowering her defense and it ended up so badly, she has no idea how she would start over. She traveled far away from home to find herself but she just ended up getting more lost and confused than ever. Eon was taken aback and lost for words. [Te
