Aron's hand seemed to freeze around my waist. I looked at him with curiosity in my eyes. His brows furrowed. Whenever he was perplexed or he got angry, his brows furrowed deeply like that."What happened?" I asked.He let go of my waist and looked into my eyes. "Why do you need to do a job?"I gulped when I sensed fury in his tone. "If I want to restart my life here, I have to start with everything. I want to have a good job, a good life where I can—""Am I not giving you a good life?"I shook my head. He misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. I took hold of his hand and said,"You are the Alpha king. You can give me anything I want. But I would like to establish an identity here. I can not be a burden on you."His frown became more intense. "Burden? I am taking on the responsibility of my entire realm. Do you think yours will have an impact on me?” I was stunned. How would I make him understand my point of view?I was about to explain to him again. But he removed my hand from his and
My brows shot up in surprise. I blinked, trying to observe the boy carefully.'He is a Lycan!' I thought.He let out a chuckle as if he had noticed my expression. "You never met a Lycan before, right?"I shook my head. "No.""Don't worry, we don't eat people," he replied with a grin.I nodded my head and muttered, "I will repay your money soon.""Come here again," he said.I left the cafe with a jumbled mind. I met a Lycan today for the first time. I had always heard that they were dangerous. But seeing Fred, I did not think he was dangerous. Even Aron's company's guards looked more dangerous than him.I recall Samuel informing Aron of a meeting with Lycans.'Do Lycans live here in the pack?' I wondered.I walked for a while until the Elton Company came into view. I walked into the company.I noticed everyone gave me strange gazes. They looked mad at me.My steps halted when I saw the reception area was empty. I realized that the employees saw the guards throwing them out of the compa
The café was quiet. The atmosphere was peaceful and soothing. Every table was adorned with small flower tubs. All of the customers appeared to be pleased with the environment.I came here because I noticed that it was a peaceful place. I just wanted to get out of the company.People's judgmental gazes were too much for me. I did not want to be responsible for Aron's punishment of more employees."Excuse me?"I heard a voice from behind. I blinked and shifted my gaze away from the window. The cafe was beside the road, so I was lost in my thoughts.I turned my head to see a boy smiling at me. He wore a brown apron over his white t-shirt, which bore the cafe's name. He was dressed in black pants and a cap. He was young and appeared to be around my age."Hello, Miss," he greeted."Hello.""What would you like to have?"I had been sitting here for the last ten minutes. But I had not placed an order yet.It made me feel embarrassed. I lowered my head and looked for the menu on the table."I
I was shocked. How could he say that? Silver water could really burn anyone.I could not believe Aron could give anyone this kind of punishment. It was ruthless!I looked at him carefully. Was he the same person who had been with me over the last few days?Despite the fact that the women tried to frame me, I felt upset for them.However, the question about Aron's mate remained in my mind. I was confused about why he was with me if he already had a mate. Did he still love her even after they separated? What about the mate bond? How could he possibly resist it?Samuel called the security guard and told them to take them out of the company. He followed them as he would have done what Aaron wanted.I stared at the door until it closed. The loud closing sound caused me to flinch.I felt a cold, chilly air touch my body. My gaze shifted to Aron again, who was also staring at the door. He seemed to be forcing himself not to tell me anything."A-Alpha..." I murmured.He heard me, but he did n
Aaron's gaze, which was on my lips, froze when he heard me. I saw them darken in the blink of an eye.His thumb, which was caressing my cheek, also stopped.I gulped when his eyes moved from my lips to my eyes. I gasped when I saw how fierce they looked.My heart trembled by the rageful gaze."A-Aron—""Who told you?" he asked, taking a long breath with an angry look."W-What?""Where did you get to know about it?" he questioned me again.I was stunned. 'How did I get to know about it? Does it mean they were right about it?' I thought.I was in disbelief. I felt my heart clench inside. I was upset that the woman was not me. He was already owned by someone else.My eyes turned blurry as tears scrambled in my eyes. I pushed his chest and rose from his lap.I turned away from him. The mere thought of him with someone else broke my heart.It was because I loved him."That is not even the question. I asked if it was true?" I asked without looking at him."First, tell me who told you."His
I was so shocked that I could not move my legs forward. What were the women saying? What did they mean by saying their Alpha had a mate?I turned my head to the women. They noticed me looking at them. They averted their gaze right away and pretended to work.I stared at them in confusion. 'Should I ask them about it?' I thought.I was about to approach them when I heard Aron's voice."What are you waiting for?"I turned my head and saw him standing outside the elevator.My gaze turned cloudy as I became so preoccupied with my thoughts that I was unable to move forward.Samuel was pressing the ground floor button to keep the elevator open so that Aron could enter. But Aron was waiting for me.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I would have to ask Aron about it directly.I walked up to him. He got into the elevator, and I followed him behind.When the door closed, I felt his eyes on my back. I looked at our reflection on the elevator door.My eyes locked with his when he glanced a
