I was in awe.
I took a seat at one of the tables in the far corner with a perfect view of him. I know that the drinks that I initially bought were for to go, that’s why I ordered another one just so I can stay in the coffee shop. He was seated in the same spot that we once sat together. Maybe he was missing you, a voice at the back of my head whispered making me smile. My heart is pounding so fast inside of my chest. If it can produce a sound everyone would have been deaf because of how loud my emotions are right now.
He drank his favorite coffee as he looks out of the window, Caramel Macchiato. I still remember how each syllable of his favorite drink sounded when he says it. I never knew a coffee flavor would sound so sexy. My eyes are glued to all the movemen
I woke up with heavy eyes and an aching head. The sun was shining brightly outside my window. Like it was telling me that today is going to be a great day. The door opened and Nicolo came in holding a tray with my breakfast.“You didn’t have to bring it to me,” I croaked. Nicolo placed the tray on my bed gently and fetch me some water and handed it to me.“I just wanted to try and make you breakfast in bed, even just this one time,” he smiled, "By the way, just a reminder, we have a meeting with the Nori guy regarding our new bar this afternoon. I know how you wanted to check the place out yourself. It's scheduled late in the afternoon, so you still have time to rest.”I nodded at him as I took a bite of the toast he had served me, and I sliced a piece of egg and bacon
Life has a funny way of messing up with you at times. I am not sure if this was Karma in the works or was it just pure coincidence. Of all the people to meet it had to be him. It’s not that I don’t like to meet him, because I do. I was just not yet ready and it was too soon. I took a glance at Nori and I can see that he was as confused as I am. He approached us and ask the question that I wanted to ask but couldn’t.“Alpha, we are meeting Pete, he decided to sell this building to Athena so she could open her bar here,” Nori said.Drake turned and looked at him, I was surprised at the intensity of his stare but Nori didn’t budge nor looked like he was afraid. He stood there staring back at Drake with pure calmness. I look at them and I kinda miss the smiling and playful Nori. But ever since that night when he called out
I stared at the contract in front of me lost in thought as our last conversation played in my head.Ex-lover...I glanced up at the man in front of me who was seriously reading the contract in front of him.Ex-lover…I wonder how he can easily say those words when I can’t even remember when we became one? We are just two people whose misfortunes were entangled together. And when the time did come for us to see if we can really be more than just two unfortunate souls, I almost lost you.All of a sudden everything seems clear, I didn’t leave Drake because I love him so much. I left him because I was guilty. I’m a hypocrite, for making everyone believe that what I
I just finished taking a bath after my morning jog but here I am, standing in front of my closet, asking it to give me something nice to wear. I am not the type of person who really cares about the type of clothes that I am wearing, but, since it would be the first time I will be seeing Drake after our contract signing, I just thought that it wouldn’t hurt to look a bit more presentable than I used to. “Athena,” Nicolo shouted as he enters my room. He eyes me suspiciously as I continue to rummage my dresser for something decent but an eye-catching attire. “Well it’s a first,” Nicolo sat on my bed. I turned and looked at him. “What?!” “First you woke up early, and now you can’t make up your mind on what to wear,” he crossed his arms across his chest
Tonight is the night that I had been waiting for since I signed the business contract with Drake. And as always, I am cramming and panicking as I stood over the pile of clothes at my feet. Looking for something to wear felt like a treasure hunt. I try to scour around for something that would fit the theme of the opening party that Drake decided to throw at the last minute. I opened a bar before and all I have to wear was a fitted black mini-skirt and a loose silk spaghetti strapped blouse that I paired up with my boots. I was planning to do the same thing today until Drake called me early in the morning telling me that there was a slight change of plans with our grand opening party. Apparently, he got an idea to host a party for the single people in his pack and with his alliances. To give them the chance to find their fated mate. I actually like the co
The night was a success. Drake’s alliances became stronger and made not only his people but also his alliance's people happy by finding the person they want to live with. For shifters like us, there are two ways to find a suitable mate. One is finding someone they want to be with on their own. As long as both parties agree there is no problem. This is similar to how humans find their suitable mate, just like what had happened to Drake before. This is called the Chosen Mate. Another way of finding someone’s mate is through the blessing of the moon goddess, which is called Fated Mate. This one is more magical and fairytale-like. The way one believes that there is someone out there that was destined for him or her.I now understood why Drake decided to have a masquerade ball. The mystery that each of the masks held, heightens not only the excitement of being able to open yourself up to a com
Purple Hill was on high alert and the bar was only allowed to be open for a few hours each night. It had been three weeks since the last time I saw Drake. I never complained even if he was not able to fulfill his part of the deal to spend dinner with me every Friday night. I understand how important security was for him especially the safety of his pack. He even hired Aunt Jess as a consultant as she helps them by using her vision.Lisa and Katie moved out of the house after pledging their loyalty to Drake once again. Because of how busy I was with the bar and now because of the high alert in Purple Hill, we weren’t able to see each other. We do send each other text messages but because of our busy schedules we always end up replying late. Nori told me that they became busier with training new she-wolves in their pack.Drake initially asked me to mo
“I believe that Ares already heard about what had happened in the clearing, and about Athena’s powers,” Calvin confirmed what I already know. I know that Ares will know about it one way or another. And I am at the edge as I am at loss to what he was planning. He was way too quiet.A part of me is glad that I already have Athena back which makes it easier for me to protect her. But with Levi’s absence, I am still doubting myself. I have been training again since Athena healed me and I started walking. I know that lately, Levi has been showing himself more, but I can't shift yet.Another problem I have is that Athena still hasn’t shifted. Making it impossible to claim her as my mate. But what the hell am I talking about? Why am I rushing her when my wolf is still hiding in the dark. I just hope that he decides to show up
