Matilda's POV.
From the front door of the house, I could see my adopted sister who I hated running with my boyfriend. Not only that, the two of them were also holding hands and laughing together.
I saw them and feels like I'm a statue displayed in front of my house. Even though I am Alpha Rexton's girlfriend, now Amelie looks very happy with him.
My heart felt broken seeing this scene. Moreover, Alpha Rexton's laugh looks wider when running with Amelie. Of course as his girlfriend I felt jealous. Our years together made me feel like I didn't want to lose my boyfriend.
"Alpha Rexton, Amelie, you guys--"
Before I could finish my sentence, something hit me and I fell. My body was in a pile of snow.
My eyes saw a white sky with snow still falling, although not as much as before. A few seconds later I saw Amelie and Alpha Rexton above me.
"Matilda, are you okay?"
I didn't reply to Amelie's question. Even when Alpha Rexton and Amelie reached out their hands, I didn't accept them. I'm already angry with them.
I tried as hard as I could to wake up on my own. I rejected all of Amelie's attempts to help me outright. I cleaned my coat from the stuck snow, then went into the house.
My eyesight was very blurry. I didn't care about mama who was watching me and kept asking what was wrong. I walked quickly towards the room.
"I hate ... I hate Amelie, I hate Alpha Rexton, I hate Jackson, I really fuckin hate you guys!"
I buried my face in the pillow, crying, wailing uncontrollably, trying to suppress the sound of my crying so it wouldn't be heard until it came out.
Even though my heart felt calm, the tears continued to flow like they would never stop. My pillow was wet, the sheets on my bed were the same.
A few moments passed, I heard a knock on the bedroom door. Not wanting to make a sound, I decided to remain silent.
"May I come in? I brought some snacks to share with you." Like before, she enticed me with the snacks she had. "Matilda, please open the door. There is something I want to talk to you about." This time, I won't be tempted, Amelie!
I covered my ears with a pillow as she kept saying the same thing over and over again and kept knocking on the bedroom door. She's so annoying!
Several minutes passed, Amelie seemed to feel hopeless. The knock on the door and its ugly sound no longer reach my ears.
I changed position to lie down. My eyes stared at the ceiling of the room. At the same time, the image of Alpha Rexton and Amelie running hand in hand came to mind again.
"I absolutely will not forgive you guys for now!" I said, even though I wasn't sure about that myself.
Every time I daydream a little, their happy laughter always rings out. I don't know, but I feel like the two of them look good together, even more so than I do with Alpha Rexton.
My hand reached for the smartphone which was not far from me. I opened our album together and saw my photos with Alpha Rexton. Our smiles looked fake, not like what I saw when Amelie was with Alpha Rexton earlier.
"End it and return to your mate."
The wolf in my heart said so, but I still felt hesitant about doing that. Maybe a few days of silence with Alpha Rexton will strengthen my feelings so that I can choose which path to take.
I think life without Alpha Rexton is very difficult even though I have also met my mate. However, Alpha Rexton was the first to come and give the best for me. Moreover, up to now, he has never gotten a mate, or he doesn't even have one.
My smartphone suddenly rang. My lips smiled slightly when I saw Levin's name there. I immediately picked up the incoming call which came from none other than him.
"He--hello?"
"Matilda, are you okay, Babe?" Levin asked, the same as Amelie asked. Again, I remember that woman.
"Um, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
I nodded even though my nod couldn't be seen by him. "Yes of course."
"But your voice sounds different here, Babe."
"Maybe it's just your feeling. Um, or maybe it's because I'm lying down." I changed position to sit on the bed. "How about this?"
"Now it sounds like it always does."
"That's good." I smile. "Levin, do you have anything to do tomorrow morning?"
"Nothing, tomorrow I'll be home at five o'clock and after that go straight home, why?"
"Um, you want to rest, okay? Then you just rest, I won't bother you."
"No, no, Matilda. What do you want? I'll do it for you first."
"Pick me up." I said simply.
"Oh, my goodness." Levin was heard chuckling. "Okay, I can still rest for two and a half hours before going to pick you up."
"No, Levin, it's not like that."
"So?"
"I want you to pick me up when you get home, five in the morning."
"Why? What's wrong with you, Matilda?"
"I want to see you, Levin. Do you still not understand?"
"Oh, um, okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at five."
"Don't forget that." I said firmly.
"Of course I won't, but it might take me a few minutes to get to your house."
"It doesn't matter, I understand you."
"By the way, Matilda, now I'm stealing time by going to the toilet to be on the phone with you. Will you allow me to go back to work?"
"No."
"Matilda, please ... Babe." He sounded pleading. "I'll get scolded for not coming back. Please let me, okay?"
I couldn't help but chuckle. "Do you think I'm serious?"
"Oh, of course. Whatever you say, always take it seriously."
"What if I was just joking?"
"We weren't joking just now, Matilda, so I took what you said seriously."
"Okay, I'm sorry. Continue your work, Levin." I then gave him a kiss via voice call.
"I feel melted now, Matilda."
His voice gave me goosebumps. In fact, he can turn me on just from his voice alone.
Voice call ends. With Levin's voice call, my mood improved a little, although I still couldn't forgive Alpha Rexton and Amelie.
***
It was half past five in the morning. I got up and got ready before Levin came to pick me up. I did everything slowly, I didn't want mom or Amelie to hear me when I was about to leave.
"Hello, are you on your way here?" I asked, whispering.
"Not yet, I'm still at the bar. After I get my bag, I'll go there."
At a quarter past five I saw Levin's car approaching. I immediately got out slowly and got into his car which had stopped at the side of the road.
"Let's go." I said after sitting next to him.
"What's wrong with you, Matilda? Why are you--"
Levin didn't continue his s
entence because I kissed him hotly on the lips. I want to release all the emotions that I kept inside all night through this hot kiss.
Matilda's POV. This room was very messy, pillows were scattered mixed with clothes lying around randomly. On the bed, my body was in Levin's warm arms. He really calmed my heart. His chest rose and fell, I placed my hand on the surface of his chest. At the same time I felt his heart beating fast. "Are you nervous, Levin?" He chuckled. "Of course, you always make my heart beat faster whenever we're together." "Thank you, Levin." "What for?" He looked at me intently. "Everything, you do what I want." "No need for thanks, that's what I should do to my mate." I smiled bitterly. "Sorry I can't have you completely yet." "I understand." He exhaled. "It's half past eight, don't you want to get ready?" "Oh, my goodness. I have to get ready for work." I picked up several clothes that were scattered on the floor one by one and put them back on, and so did Levin. We both got into the car which then drove at medium speed. There's still enough time so I don't need to rush. "Thank yo
Matilda's POV. As I walked back to the room, I heard her voice calling my name and asking me to wait for her. I didn't care and just continued walking towards the room. Instantly I felt sorry because I chose to go home. If only I had gone to the bar and met Levin, my mood wouldn't have been this bad. My hatred for Amelie continues to increase. Especially after she talked to me. I had to go back to my room and not continue the online game I was playing. "You ruined everything!" I glanced at the door which I locked tightly from the inside. I've been in my room for three and a half hours reading an online novel that I had previously downloaded and put on the shelf. My eyes looked towards the door, it seemed like it was quiet outside. I opened the lock slowly, then pulled the door and went out with slightly tiptoe steps. At the dining table, I didn't find anything. Even some instant foods are not available in cupboards with glass doors. "Is mom also angry with my attitude so she
Matilda's POV. I saw Levin's dark blue car not far from the house. Without thinking again, I left the room through the window because I didn't want my mother and Amelie to know that I was leaving. When I see Jackson leaving the house area, I can now imitate him. I can get out of the room without opening it and going through the fence. "I thought you wouldn't pick me up." I said, then immediately got into his car. "Let's go." Levin drove the car back. "What's wrong with you, Matilda?" "I can't tell you now." My head shook. I didn't feel ready to tell Levin everything. Luckily I was able to mate with Levin, he really understands my position and condition. Without saying much, he continued to drive the car. Ten minutes passed, my eyes continued to look at the street, which in some parts was deserted. Even though I'm with Levin now, the image of Alpha Rexton and Amelie holding hands and laughing together still disturbs my mind. The car is still moving at medium speed. All this ti
Matilda's POV. I stopped what I was doing for a moment when I heard the sound. A very familiar voice to me. Usually when I hear that voice, my heart will feel very happy, but not now. My hatred is greater than my love. My eyes kept looking down, I didn't want to look into his eyes or just look at his face. "Do you want to eat here or take away?" I asked without looking at him. "Eat here." He answered quickly. "Because I want to eat while watching you work." "I'm not asking your reasons." I said, not caring how he felt hearing that sentence. He actually chuckled. "I just want you to know." "Okay, this is your queue number, please wait." I took one queue number and placed it hard on the table. "Thank you, Babe." He said softly. "Bring me the food, okay?" "There are still a lot of people in line behind you, go!" I said firmly, speaking softly. After that I continued transactions with several other visitors. Some of them ordered a lot of food because they came in large numbers
Amelie's POV. Entering the room, I was still imagined by the expression on Matilda's face. It seems that my mistake really cannot be forgiven by her. Matilda didn't look at me at all, even when I wanted to talk to her, she immediately ran away from me. I sighed. "How can I get Matilda to forgive me?" This is the kind of situation I fear. Even though Matilda doesn't know yet that Alpha Rexton and I are mates, this has already happened. What would happen if she knew about it? I can't imagine that. *** My eyes opened, when I looked at the clock on the wall it was six in the afternoon. I got up and found my body still wearing work clothes. After cleaning my body and applying skincare to my face, I left the room. It was half past seven in the evening at this time. "What are you making, Mom?" I asked, approaching mama who was busy in the kitchen. "I want to make spaghetti carbonara with bacon bits, Amelie." I nodded my head. "Can I help you?" "Of course, without you having to sa
Amelie's POV. The sound of the video call trying to connect was clear. I didn't show my face, but instead my smartphone camera was pointed behind me. I waited for Rylee to receive a phone call from me. If he is not a fraud, he will definitely pick up a video call from me without hesitation. After waiting for a while, finally the video call I made was connected. I still use the rear camera. I want to see it first. "Hello, what's wrong with you calling me via video call, Amelie?" That's the only sentence I could hear. Next, the video call looks blurry before the reconnect message appears on the screen. From the blurry screen, I could see a wolfman I couldn't clearly recognize. I still can't see his face. Waiting for a while, the video call I made couldn't be reconnected. The video call ended. "Do you have a bad signal?" I sent him a short message. For a while, Rylee Graciela's social media accounts were no longer active. My message was sent with one check mark in the bottom ri
Amelie's POV. The owner of the Boss Media Company took off the glasses that were perched on his nose. He massaged his forehead for a moment while his other hand placed the glasses on the side of the table. After a while, he looked at me while blinking his eyes quickly. "I have additional tasks for you." My forehead frowned. "What is the additional task?" He took an envelope from the pile of files on his desk, then pushed it closer to where I was. "I saw a few weeks ago, you seem to know Alpha Rexton, right?" "Um ... y--yes." I can't lie to him. "Then what should I do?" "Deliver this letter to him." "But I--" "The address is on the envelope. Tell him I can't deliver it myself." He was silent for a moment. "This letter is very confidential, it cannot be entrusted to a courier. If I had nothing else to do, I would send it myself. You will be accompanied by Greg who will look after you and make sure you don't open the letter. Do you understand?" I nodded. "W--when did I--" "Th
Rexton's POV. I went home with a heart that didn't feel happy at all. Usually after I come home from meeting Matilda or Amelie, I will feel very happy and excited, but not this time. My body fell on the comfortable and soft bed. My mind flashed back to what happened a few hours ago which made me feel very guilty. Even though Amelie is my mate, I also don't want to hurt Matilda's feelings. I don't know how to get Matilda back to the way she was before. "Argh!" I pulled my hair as I walked away. My eyes looked towards the vast expanse of the backyard with the lights shining on it. "Why does Matilda have to see me with Amelie?!" My two feet walked until they were behind the balcony door. I have no desire to go there, just look at the backyard from here. There was absolutely no one there that I saw. It was quiet, it seemed like they were all in their own rooms. There was a knock on my bedroom door and a few moments later it opened. A woman in a beautiful dress appeared to be there
