45Aiden's POVThe more she tries to push me away, the more my wolf is yearning and longing for her to come to me. I don't know why she keeps pushing me away. Maybe she thought I haven't changed. Of course, I have changed and I am not willing to go back to my old self unless she forces me to go back to it by not responding to me. I love her and it seems something is stopping her from showing me that she loves me too. I love her so much. I came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist. With water dripping down my chest. My wolf growled at me and I knew what was wrong. I imagined that blue eyes of hers staring right into my eyes telling me she loves me back. I dried my body and put on clean Calvin Klein underwear. I just needed to get some groceries at the store for our needs. The maids could do it but I don't want to feel useless around here. I want to help out. The door was knocked and I asked who was by the door. "I need to get to the grocery store, sir." It was
46Kira's POVI dressed up in a casual outfit and grabbed my bag. I went to the location where she wants us to meet. I hope she is not going to plan something. If that is what she is thinking, she better not do it because I am one step ahead of her. I would turn the whole situation against her with immediate effect. Then I stopped when I got to the door. I turned and took a short glance in the mirror. I sat down on purpose and applied my makeup. I am perfect at it. I did my makeup within some minutes and I was done. I want to look pretty every time. I would never be caught unaware. I will always be one step ahead of them in everything. My phone rang and I checked who it was. It was one of my employees at the company. Yes, they became my employees the moment I stepped on the throne. The moment I ascend to the throne. Sylvia. "Sylvia," I said. "A beautiful evening to you ma'am. I called to remind you of the meeting held at the company tomorrow and you are to visit the charity foun
47I almost choked on my drink as Camille's friends won't stop looking at me as if I was some monster. Maybe I made a terrible choice in coming over. I shouldn't have though. Maybe I shouldn't have. They are both making me feel weird. I will flare up anytime soon. Even my mate too. Aiden won't stop staring at me. Like have I got something on my face? I kind of felt embarrassed because it seems I was the center of attention and I hate people diverting their attention to me. I do not like it and it felt creepy too. I brought out my phone and stylishly checked if I had gotten something on my face but I got nothing. It was nothing. I raised my head boldly and looked at this girl in particular. Bianca. I dropped my fork on the plate. It wasn't like I was even eating. I had lost my appetite. "Do we have a problem, Bianca?" I asked staring into those creepy eyeballs. "Uh, what? Problem? No way. We...I...I can't have a problem with you." She stuttered. She looked away from me and I kne
48Aiden's POV"Aiden!"I flinched in response as Camille called my name from behind. I shut my eyes closed forcing in the frustration that was surging through me. I was trying to control myself. I would have had that moment with her, Kira if Camille hasn't interrupted us. What was she looking for in the next place?I turned back and she stopped too. "What?" I asked trying my best not to raise my voice at her. If she were another person, I would have done a lot. Why would she interrupt us in the middle of something important? It was very important to me. Even though she was my childhood friend, I don't want her poking her nose into my matters.I almost kissed her lips but her presence prevented it from happening. I feel so mad. I don't want to talk right now because I might say something I didn't mean to say. It wasn't my fault. I have always wanted her to be mine. Ever since my wolf had pronounced her to be my mate. Her scent invaded my senses and it was driving me insane. I ran my
49The bird chirped as usual and the ray of sunlight beamed into my room, I open my eyes. I climbed out of the bed and stretched out as I could. I couldn't forget what happened between me and Aiden last night. How he almost kissed me. What was he thinking? I heard a knock on the door and I turned in that direction. "Who is there?" I asked. "The car is ready ma'am. It's almost nine o clock.""What? Nine o clock?"I gasped. How? Did I sleep that much? I picked up my phone and checked the time. True! It was already eight-forty-five in the morning. Oh goodness! This is fucking crazy! Why did I sleep this much? I hate this. I jumped out of the bed and went straight to my closet. I brought out professional clothes to wear. Just because I was regarded as the youngest Luna doesn't mean I should dress like one. I brought out a suit. A trouser suit and a white long sleeve with the suit jacket. I liked it at the very first sight. I saw the way it used to look good on those Korean women wh
50"The concept was brought up by Beta Marcus and he signed on it." Sylvia who was sitting beside me made me understand. I don't care whose idea was it. I sat back and looked around to see the directors. Most of them are loyal to my father. I was sure of it but only one of them proves to be unfortunate. "Mr. Valdadero" I mentioned."I am sorry but the idea you contributed is not what we need," I said dropping the documents on the table. Sylvia picked it up and went straight to give it back to him. I could see the visible frown on his face. I just knew it. Not everybody would like me, I know. If there are lots of people in a room and they all loved each other dearly no matter what, there will always be someone who will act as the devil. The person would surely hate another person and that is so bad. I fiddled with the pen in my hand and waited for the next person to submit his her or concept idea but none of them did after I had talked about Mr. Valdadero. I smirked. They all unde
51After the meeting was over, they dispersed and I was left with Dino and Sylvia. Sylvia also commended me for a job done great. I appreciated her and I checked the time, it was past noon and I still haven't had breakfast. Well, I have no time to fit breakfast now. I needed to settle things first. The fact that I was thinking of other people before me was quite understanding. For this moment, the children at the orphanage foundation are my priority right now and not some food. As the CEO of the company, I had to wait for a while to sign some important documents that it is essential to the company. Dino came forth. "You haven't had your breakfast, your highness." "I will have it soon. I just need to complete some work here." I told him. Soon, I was done sighing the documents and I had to take my leave to go to the foundation. First, of all, I needed to stop at the mall to get stuff for them. Like toys. clothes, shoes, and so on. Dino drove me down to the mall and we bought every
52Maria stopped crying some hours ago and I helped her brush her hair. She had told me she wanted like my style of hair and I gladly did it for her. But she won't stop asking me to take her along with me. I don't know how I was going to do that. I sat her down and made her face me. She smiled and I noticed that she had lost two of her upper front teeth. She was cute and pretty tho with her almond eyes. "Will you take me with you?" "Please. I don't want to stay here anymore." She emphasized. When I was about to talk, my phone rang. I checked the caller ID and it was him, Aiden. Why was he calling at this time of the day?I picked it up. "What is it?" I asked. "Look, I know we started on the wrong foot. Where are you now?" I asked."What does it matter to you where I am?" I asked. "If you don't want to tell me, then look behind you." He said and I turned back just to see him right behind me. I got scared for a while. How does he even know where I was? I rubbed my forehead. I
