Later that night, Melissa stayed with me in my room when all the compartments throughout the mansion were fully occupied by the Mating Night attendees. It's already late to travel back. Because they were already got wasted from the post-party celebration, most of them could not make it back to their respective places. So, as the host of the said event, dad ordered everyone, including Melissa and Vladimir, to just stay for the night in the mansion since we still have a few spare rooms intended for visitors. Though I am not used to having someone with me in the room, one to mention a female one, I left no choice. Everyone already expected Melissa could get special treatments from me since we got mated. "I've overheard you got your accounts back, huh?" Melissa said before she jumped onto my bed. Her eyes at me were enticing. They were trying to tell me to jump on the bed as well and sleep with her. Shit. What am I thinking? Why would I think about sleeping with h
"I'm here to pick up Ghino. Where is he?" I said back, ignoring the level of the risk I was putting myself into. "Who's picking me up, huh?" Ghino suddenly appeared behind me. He even ignored bumping against my shoulder as he grabbed his seat back at the table. Then he lifted a bottle of beer and took a sip. He glanced at his friends at the table but did not reach out in my direction as if I wasn't there. "Let's go home, Ghino." I slid closer to him and grabbed his hand. He got surprised upon seeing my face which resulted in the bottle he was holding dropping to the floor. The bottled shuttered into pieces. Everyone in the club dragged their eyes in our direction, partly annoyed. The security guards immediately rushed to our table and asked a few questions before coming up with a solution. Good thing Ghino and his friends lied to the guards about me. That I was already with them since they started drinking. Regarding the broken bottle, Ghino lied that because
Similar to Melissa, I could barely dare stare at someone's eyes around the table. Instead, I locked them on the food and drinks while thinking of the possible scenarios that might have happened if Melissa will go to the same school with me and Ghino. Though Ghino and I have different courses taken and of different buildings, it will be inevitable that instances will come to point that the three of us will meet in one place. Especially when I have to watch over Ghino, not just somewhere far away or in the shadows but a half-meter away. "Oh," I muttered back. "That's good news indeed. Want to go to school today? I'm gonna tour you first before you could start your classes." So, it happens that I offered. "The better, son. Tell Lady Melissa about your school achievements. About how you become the star player and team captain of your football team, Dean's Lister, and more..." "Stop it, dad. You don't have to boast about my achievements in front of Melissa." I said back
Two hours later, Ghino stepped inside his room with a heavy heart as if the entire world had befallen into his face. I'm not even sure if he already noticed my presence inside his room. "Nathan?" Ghino muttered in a surprised tone as if he forgot our conversation earlier while I stayed in his apartment. "Is everything all right, Ghino? What happened?" I slid closer and grabbed his backpack and the white long folder from his hand. Then I assisted him to grab his seat on the bed when his entire body stiffened from his spot the second he appeared. "I did not make it, Nathan." He said back. "You did not make it in what exactly?" I retorted in confusion. As soon as Ghino was seated on the bed, I grabbed mine next to him. The scene has seemed to be a long story. "My job interview. I failed, Nathan." To my surprise, Ghino wrapped his arms around me, sobbing. "They can't accept me because of my past. That I was a useless half cyborg." "You told them about it?" I as
Later that cold evening, disco music vibrated continuously throughout the blocks and walls of the mansion. Glimmering lights in different colors also lit up the entire place. It made the dead mansion lively. With an abundance of delicious food and drinks on the table, everything is close to perfection. I'm not into holding a party in the mansion but I took the opportunity since my parents were not around. Needless to say, I wanted to see Ghino. I wanted him to enjoy life while we still can. But I was hoping he would come even if I knew he read my messages about the invitation. Speaking of Ghino, I've been waiting for him when some of his circle of friends were already present. Most of my friends were also having their chit chats and a bottle of beer in their hands. Some were even already in their bikinis and boxer shorts in the pool. "Are you waiting for someone, Nathan?" Melissa, who is one in bikinis, broke my anxiety while standing at the entrance. Then, she ha
And as far as I could remember, the incident happened before I fly to Germany to secure the heart of Alp for Ghino's operation. Aside from that, it was also the first time I met his dad, Vladimir. If the man was referring to Melissa's parents, especially when he mentioned "they" earlier, do they have planned something for me or my parents? Needless to say, they immediately decided to mate me their daughter all of a sudden. Every side of the family knows that Melissa and I barely knew each other. What are they up to exactly? Is it about my position as the next alpha of my parents' pack? That they're planning to dethrone me and steal everything that belongs to my parents? "That makes me wonder why you don't recognize the man, Nathan." Melissa also locked her gaze at me, partly confused. "Mr. Denver was one of your dad's men." My profound thoughts were erased in just a matter of seconds. My thoughts have already come up with a few scenarios about the possibilities
Even if I know he will not get hurt by the personal question, for me, it already did deep beneath my core. The pain was excruciating. It simply means that he did not care for me after all. "By the way, you are not here for the party, aren't you?" I curiously asked before I dropped his luggage bag to the floor as soon as we get into the guest room. I jumped on the bed and bestow him enough time to change his soaked clothes. When he takes off his clothes, I immediately changed the point of direction of my gaze. However, it as undeniable that I have seen how beautiful his stomach is. Even if it was only a matter of seconds, my stomach suddenly felt hungry upon seeing his well-built six-pack abs. The famish even gets worse the second he slid closer to the luggage bag next to me. I don't want him to feel uncomfortable but the water that I just dragged down to my throat was apparent. Part of me wanted to frisk and discover how beautiful his well-built six-pack abs but I was trying to
"Shit!" I exclaimed louder to the point the person next to me moved and lifted half of his body. When I got the chance to see the man's face, it was no other than Ghino. As soon as Ghino saw my naked body, he immediately grabbed and throws his blanket at me. Unfortunately, this time, he was the one who got naked. When he saw his bulge, he immediately snatched back the blanket and wrapped it around his body. I also grabbed mine and covered my private parts. "Shit! What have you done, Nathan..?" Before Ghino could finish his statement, I immediately wrapped my hands around his mouth. A few wolves were occupying the mansion at the moment, including Melissa and Ghino's friends. I don't care if the security guards or manservants could hear it but, I cared more about what Melissa and our friends would think about it. I've already learned my lesson. Don't want Ghino to be the center of attraction once again. Don't want him to be put into an undesirable situation if so
