Nigel was already foaming up when I got back to the club. "Do you want my dad looking for us, huh?"
I rolled my eyes. "Chill man. I'm here already". He glared at me and I laughed. "Come on, let's go"
He mumbled some words and finally take a step. I chuckled and followed him behind with Bella. The drive back to the packhouse was silent and I couldn't stop thinking about the girl I met at the club. I kinda like her vibes and she reminded me so much of someone I once knew. By the time we got to the packhouse, Declan, Nigel's father was already waiting for us. "How many times have I warned you both to stop keeping late nights?"
"I told ya" Nigel whispered and I chuckled
He walked towards us. "Went to the club again?. Did Nigel forced you to go this time?" He asked
I laughed. Even his dad knows how much of a club freak he is. "No, no. We just went to have a little fun" I replied.
Nigel sighed. "Just get inside. And make sure you don't stay this late again". We nodded like babies. "Is that a promise". We nodded again. "Go, go inside. It's getting cold outside"
I rolled my eyes and we walked into the house. "Good night" I waved at Nigel and Bella, as I found my way to my room. I was already feeling tired and sleepy. I had to take a quick shower and lay on my bed. I need to sleep early, cause I know tomorrow is going to be a hectic day for me, if not for all.
**
The ringing of my alarm woke me up from my sleep. I groaned. I still feel sleepy. I picked up the alarm and switched it off. I lay down to sleep a little more. It was the ray of light coming in through the window that woke me up this time. I picked up my phone to check the time. It was a few minutes past 8 am and my meeting with Brian Enterprises is by 9 am. "Shit" I cursed. How come I slept that much?. I must have drunk too much Champagne. I hissed. Thanks to Nigel."This isn't time to get angry," my subconscious mind said
I nodded in agreement and stood up from the bed. I rushed into the bathroom to take my bath and then get dressed in a black suit. How much I hate to wear it but I had to, because of work. I picked up my office bag to check if all the documents were intact. Luckily, they were. I placed my black leather pants and jacket into a bag. I'll be changing into that for school, after the meeting. I looked through the window, the garden was looking so nice. I sighed and took my gaze away. Giving the last touch to my hair, I rushed downstairs. Nigel was seated at the dining with some other werewolves. Bella wasn't there. They stood up to greet me but I only waved at them. "Nigel meet me at the car park"
He furrowed his brows. "No breakfast?""No, it's almost time for the meeting"He groaned. "Ok, I'll meet you downstairs"
"Be fast about it"
"Sure"
**
The meeting ended with us being awarded the contract. Mr. Brian stood up. "Congratulations, Mr. Nolan"I smiled and stood up too. "Thank you so much for trusting us, Mr. Brian"
He smiled. "I believe you won't disappoint me"
"We won't, that's a promise" Nigel answered and I nodded.
Mr. Brian smiled. "See you in my office by Monday"
I nodded. "We'll be there"
We shook hands and I saw him off to the door. After he left, I quickly pull off the suit. I was sweating already. Nigel laughed. "Easy"
I rolled my eyes and sat down. "I can't believe we got the contract"
He smiled. "I knew you would"
I sighed and relaxed on the chair. "I can't believe I've been able to build and maintain this company for this long. I thought I would fail. I thought I will be so depressed that I will end up as a failure"Nigel held my hand. "I have always known you will do just fine. Look at you, you've grown up. You've built a name for yourself. You've been leading the pack with great efforts too. I sometimes admire your leadership skills"
I chuckled. "And you haven't learned anything from it yet?"
He hissed. "I have got no time for stress"
I rolled my eyes. "Really?". He nodded. "I see that as a sign of laziness"
"I ain't lazy"
"I don't see that"
He hissed. "Ain't we going to school?""Of course we are going"
He groaned. "Do we have to?. Can't we just stay back at work?"
I rolled my eyes. "You're running away from Bella. Do you guys fought, yesterday?"
He sighed. "Nah. It isn't a fight. It's just a little misunderstanding but you know Bella too well. She's complicated"
I chuckled. "She's your mate. You've got to understand her"
He hissed. "I wish you had a mate too, so I could tell you the same". I glared at him and he chuckled. "Sorry. I wasn't supposed to say that. But I do wish your mate will show up soon"
I stood up. "Go get ready. We are leaving for school"
"Nolan?"
"Now!" I ordered
He sighed. "Ok, Alpha," he said that Alpha in a sarcastic tone but I wasn't in the mood for that. I left him and went to get ready for school. My mood wasn't lively as it was before. His word pieced deep into my heart. I once do wish I had a mate too. But right now, I don't want to think about my mate, not after trying to find her for two years. I care less about her!!.**
The car stopped right in front of the school gate. It's an all Alpha school. But the families of the Alpha and Beta are allowed to attend too. I opened the door to step out. Nigel groaned. "Isn't he suppose to take us into the school premises?"I hissed and stepped out. "You can keep sitting in the car for all I care!!". I began to go
"Hey!!" He yelled, running after me. I chuckled. "Wait up!!"
I quickly kept a straight face and turned. "What?"
He rolled his eyes. "Are you still mad with me?"
I furrowed my brows. "For what? Exactly?"
He sighed. "For talking about your mate"
I burst into laughter. Is he for real?. "No. I wasn't even thinking that""But you had refused to talk to me"I chuckled. "Oh, that. I wasn't in the mood to talk to you"
He scoffed. "Really?"
I nodded. "Really"
"You..." I ignored him and started walking away. I heard him groaned. "Hey, I'm not done talking". I ignored him and kept walking. "Nolan". He touched me and I pushed his hand away. "Hey!!". I rolled my eyes and began to run. He ran after me and finally caught up with me. "You're such a jerk!!". I couldn't stop laughing. "Hey, stop laughing. It isn't funny, ok?"
"Of course it is. Did you see your face when I told you I wasn't in the mood to talk to you?"
He hissed. "You're just been..."
"Nigel?" Bella called. Nigel groaned. I raised my head to see her coming in our direction. "You guys are late!!". I rolled my eyes and looked at Nigel who was already looking frustrated.
He mind-linked, me. "Are you ready?"
I rolled my eyes. "For what?" I answered through the mind-link.
"To run". I chuckled. "I'm serious. If you don't run with me, you will have to face your cousin alone"
I batted my lashes. I'm not ready to listen to her blabbing. "I'm ready"
He nodded. "After the count of 3. I, 2, 3"
We ran off to the surprise of Bella."Hey!!" she yelled. We stopped running when we were sure we were far from her. I held my chest, laughing. One thing I loved about this school, is that I get to express myself as me, not as an Alpha.
Nigel laughed. "I can't believe I ran away from my mate," he said
I rolled my eyes. "You always run from her. It isn't new". He glared at me and I laughed. "Time to go to class". I turned to leave but bumped into someone. His/her books fell to the ground.
I groaned and Nigel chuckled. "Hey. Are you blind or something?!!" She yelled. I rolled my eyes. It's a girl. I raised my head and she gasped. She pushed her hair backward. I bend down to help her pick up her books and then handed them over to her. She chuckled. "Sorry, I yelled at you"
"It's nothing. I guess I'll have to be more careful next time"
She furrowed her brows. "You're not angry?"
"No"
She smiled. "You're kind". I rolled my eyes. "By the way, I'm Ella" she stretched her hand to shake me.
"Nolan" I held her hand into mine. Nigel coughed and I groaned. "Ella, meet Nigel. My..."
"Best friend" Nigel answered quickly. I glared at him. I wanted to say Beta, not my best friend!!.
"Nice meeting you Nigel"
"Nice meeting you too"
"Ella?" Someone called. I turned to see who it was, only to be met with two blue angry eyes. Wait, her face looks familiar. "You!!" She pointed at me. I gasped. This girl again!!.
I rolled my eyes. It's Olive, the rude girl from the club. I groaned. "What the heck are you doing here?"She hissed. "I should be asking you that" she yelled.I groaned. This girl is just too aggressive for my liking. "This is my school, ok?. If there is anyone new here. It has to be you"Ella chuckled. "Come on, Olive. It's your first day here. You shouldn't be causing a scene"I rolled my eyes. So she's new here. Olive stared dangerously at me for a while. I wasn't moved by her looks. I stared back at her. "Pray we don't cross-part again, cause if we do. I'll break you," she said. My eyes widened. Is this girl threatening me?. She walked past me, hitting me in the process. I could feel tingling. She stopped moving and stared at me. My wolf was happy and it was like it might jump out of my body soon. I rolled my eyes. She can't be my mate right?. We were both lost staring at each other and I could
THE RUTHLESS ALPHAI walked into my training ground. I needed to do a little bit of training before going on this night's mission. We will be attacking the sunrise pack today, just like we did to the moon pack some nights ago, we will be doing the same to them. The training ground is located amid a deep forest, just a few distances away from the fire pack. A few of my guards were on stand-by. They were gathered across the forest not for security reasons though, cause I can take good care of myself but just to be on alert if there should be any invaders. Two were in the training ground with me. "Martins, take your position. You're training with me"He bowed and walked closer to me. "Yes boss"I position myself to get ready for attack. He also positioned himself as the fight began. The swords aggressively clashed with each other. Despite being good with the sword, I still admire Martins' skills. He is a trained fighter. He used to work with my dad before he di
NOLANI walked into the office with Nigel trailing behind. We were supposed to have a meeting with Brian Enterprise on Monday but I had been busy with some personal stuff, so it was shifted. "You haven't told me what you had been busy with all this day," Nigel saidI ignored him and sat down. "Get the papers ready, we are leaving in ten minutes" I answered insteadHe groaned. "Nolan, you've been acting so strange these few days. What's going on?"I sighed. "Nothing is going on, ok""Nolan...""Can you get the papers ready, or do you want me to call Bella?"He frowned. "Are you threatening me?"I chuckled. "No, I only want to shut you up"He folded his hands. "That's so unfair""You say unfair?". I picked my phone. "Maybe I should call her"He dragged the phone. "Hey, I don't mean unfair. I am only..."I rolled my eyes. "Trying to make me understand. I know". He frowned. "Can we go now?""You said ten minutes"I stood up and picked the papers
I needed to redeem myself so I ran after her. "Hey!!" I yelled. She stopped and turned to face me. Everyone stared at us, awaiting my reaction, I guess. I rolled my eyes. I could read their minds. I groaned. "You said what?"She hissed. "I'm sure you ain't deaf. But in case you are, I'll make it clear to you. I Olivia reject you. What's that your name again?. Nolan"I rolled my eyes. "I do not accept the reject,""That's your problem" she yelled"You can't reject me. I should be the one to reject you, not the other way round"She hissed. "I already did". She pushed me to the side and walked past me. People were staring at us and some were taking pictures and videos. I groaned. The news will be everywhere soon. I told Nigel it was a bad idea, but he said no. Look at what he has caused me. I glared at them and they scurried away. I stomped to the class. Nigel sighted me and walked up to me."Tell me the good news"I hissed. "Tell me you haven't heard about i
Did she just called dad?. My body was vibrating in anger, like the night my parent died flooded through my mind. It was like I could see them. I could see them closed their eyes to the cold hand of death. I shuddered with the wave of rage that swept over me. I clenched my fist, as I wait to see the next reaction from them both. I wanted to know if he was her father and she was his daughter. Nigel held my hand in an attempt to stop me from doing anything crazy. Salvador walked past her and I felt my anger subsided. "Dad? you mean dad is in school?" Olive said. She turned around. "I can't find him and I don't care!!" She yelled.I rolled my eyes. This girl is rude even to her parent?. I groaned. Hope the moon goddess has not decided to punish me by giving me Olive as a mate. Maybe it was for good she rejected me. I watched her pulled off the blue tooth from her ear and that was when I realized she had been on the call. I also noticed she was facing her car. I hissed. At
OLIVEI wondered how the news, that I rejected my mate flew across so many places. I couldn't stop getting glaring from ladies who would have wished they had him as their mate. Ella wouldn't stop complaining when she heard about it too. When school finally came to an end, I jumped in great excitement. I won't have to put up with those glares. I packed all my books on the desk and went to the locker to drop them, before heading to the car park with Ella, who wouldn't stop giving me the reason why I shouldn't have rejected him. "Olive, every girl will kill to have him as their mate. Can't you see the way, they stare at him?. Isn't he cute enough for you?". Ella kept bombarding me with questions until I got tired."You can have him for yourself, ok?!!" I yelledShe hissed. "You're just as stubborn as always. Very difficult to convince. Can't you just be flexible a bit?"I hissed. "Any more word from you, I won't consider that you're my friend, before ripping off you
NOLANThe look on Olive's face when I refused to help her up was so funny. I placed my hands into my pockets and walked past her. I could hear her groaned but I wasn't bothered. After all, she rejected me, she shouldn't expect me to help .her. I walked up to Nigel and Bella who must have seen what happened, cause they were beaming. I ignored them and sat down. Nigel chuckled. "Men, I love that. That girl needs to be put to her place!!"I rolled my eyes and ignored him. "You haven't ordered anything yet?"Bella chuckled. "Well, Nigel suggested we wait for you"I groaned. "Why the heck do you have to wait for me, huh?. It seems you guys are not hungry, cause if you are, you would have ordered"Bella laughed and Nigel groaned. "I told you, it isn't a good idea" Bella whisperedNigel scoffed. "Are you now blaming me for trying to be a good friend?"Bella sighed. "No, I was just saying it was a bad idea waiting for him" Bella defended.I rolled my
I entered the car and drove out of the school premises. Soon, I was on the road, leading to the company. When I finally got to the office, I parked my car in the car park and entered the company. Bethel was in her usual stand. "Good day, Bethel"She raised her head and when she saw me, she batted her eyes in surprise. "Welcome, boss. I never knew you were coming"I nodded. "I did not give the notice". She smiled. "How have you been?""I've been doing great boss"I nodded. "Is the manager in?"She nodded. "He just went upstairs". I nodded and turned to leave. "Boss?" Bethel called. I turned. "I'm so sorry for your rejection". I blinked my eyes and had to forge a smile. "She doesn't know what she had lost for rejecting you".I smiled. "Thanks, Bethel. I hope she understands that". She smiled and I headed for my office. Her words ringing in my head. I sighed. Of course, Olive will miss, a lot, for rejecting me. I rolled my eyes and sat down. I still wonder
