Chapter- 13 Alder’s POV “It’s so heart-breaking compared to when I uttered those rejection words,” Benau said. I nodded. Frank is hesitant to speak to him. Whatever he says, that might weird this situation so he remained silent. “Alder…” Frank started. “I don’t want to hear anything, Frank,” I snapped. I don’t want to hear anything from anyone. It’s just too frustrating for me to think what a fool I am. “Then I will go to the packhouse,” Frank said and walked to the other side. I walked aimlessly into the woods; my mind kept bringing the memories I shared with Sirena. There were a lot of moments, I loved her and admired her without her knowing. From now on, I can’t have her as his mate, that I understood well. I’m vexed by the thought and sat down on the rock. It hard for me to process what I heard from Sirena. I feel the pain of rejection, it’s killing me from inside. “Sirena must have felt the same way last time,” Benau said. I know I am such a monster. I never once thought
Sirena’s POV“I am going to France, with Xander,” I said to Raven. We both were in the cafeteria having lunch. “Okay, that’s great. Have fun,” Raven said and I didn’t expect such an answer from her.“Don’t you have anything to say?”“What do you want me to say?” “I am going to travel alone with him. Tell me about him?”“Xander is like a big brother to me. He’s very professional, you’re close with him when you were here,” Raven had a sly smile when she said that. “Close means?” she asks. “Close, that’s it. I don’t know,” Raven shrugged.I frowned to hear that. “You have to give me a proper answer,”“Sis… you’re too young. You both are like best friends,” she said. Yes, she’s right, I was too young and there’s no point in exploring that. “Okay,” I nodded.“Look, Xander is the most trusted person in this pack. You can go with him anywhere,” she said. After listening to that, I felt relieved. I think I can trust him; I no longer has any doubt over him.“I am just nervous around new p
Sirena’s POVI got a little free time in the afternoon so I went to the cafeteria to have a cup of coffee. After ordering, I sat down in one of the empty tables and looked around. People here see me differently and I’ll smile at them to clear the awkwardness. My life history is the hot gossip in the office. Even I caught a couple of co-workers gossiping about me. I didn’t take that offending but still it’s not appropriate. They will speak for some days and then they will eventually forget about that when something else comes up.Awkwardly waiting for my coffee, I looked around. I didn’t pay attention to what the girls next to me were talking but when I heard the name Xander, I asserted my ears to hear their conversation carefully.“These days Xander looks incredibly handsome,” one of the girls said. She had a long auburn hair and looked beautiful. “I don’t think so, he’s getting old and he’s losing his charm,” the other one said. Hearing that comment, I frowned just like the other gi
Sirena's POV Im waiting before my house, Xander said he will come and pick me and I am waiting for him. Raven is standing next to me and she’s here to send me off. “Have you travelled with Xander?” I asked Raven. “Yes, a few times,” “How was he like?” “He will take a good care of you and he expects your complete perseverance on your work,” “Okay,” I nodded. I was hesitant to ask this question but I couldn’t control myself. I am curious about this guy. “What about his mate? Have you seen her?” Raven smiled, “His mate, that’s a sad story,”“What is that?” I questioned right away. “Why are you curious about him?” she asks. “That’s because… I want to know,” Raven raised one of her eyebrows and stared at me. I’m letting her know that I am interested in him which is somewhat true but not in the way as they think.“Look, it’s not like what you think,” “I didn’t say anything,” she giggled and I frowned by her gesture.“Are you not going to tell me about the sad story?” I ask even k
Sirena’s POVWe got settled in the mansion owned by my father. We are here for a business meeting with moon stone pack. Everything should go according to Xander’s wish, that’s what he said when we discussed about this. He said, we’re going to the meeting in the evening. The jetlag hit me hard, and I took a nap to come out of this. As the clock reached half passed three, I got ready and waited for Xander. We discussed about the previous business deals we had with the moon stone pack. The meeting went just as the way we wished.In moon goddess grace, the meeting ended just the way he wished. That's it, what we came here for is over. We can even leave now but we are going to spend the rest of the weekend. I don't understand why my father arranged such a trip with Xander. I think he's trying match me with him.When we were returning back to our mansion in the car, Xander asked the driver to stop at a random place."Why are we here?" "You don't want to have dinner?" he asks.That's whe

Chloe's POVI woke up hearing the sound of chirping birds. I had a very good sleep, not only yesterday but even since I came here. It's a surprise for me that this new environment didn't affect me one bit. I walked to the window where the small bird is drinking the water I kept yesterday. I noticed that every day it comes here at this time as this is the only tall place in this entire surroundings. It has green and blue features, and in the morning light it looked splendid. When I about to reach, it ran away. I smiled seeing how free and happy with his life. I don't know when I am going to live that way. With that thought I came out of my room, hoping to find Marcus asleep but asusual he left early. I asked him where he would go and he answered that his turn to guard the border in the morning till noon. Then mark or Theodore would take up his place. After coming here, he would have lunch with me, go to the refugee camp and help his pack members in the construction of new houses for
Chloe's POVMarcus looked so shocked to see me , he must have not expected me here but I need to thank him for what he'd done today and also I want to sort out the misunderstandings that are going on between us. I went to the refugee camp after I left the arena, there I got dressed in a black shirt and grey trousers before coming here to talk to him or else I can't sleep tonight.I heard what he said to Mark which clearly shows his frustration. I should have heard what he wanted to say, I know the pain of rejection and I don't want him to endure that."Can I talk to you for a moment?" I ask him.Relief spread across Marcus's face when he saw my smile. "Sure," he nodded. "Come to my place, it's upstairs," he said. "No, shall we go outside?" I ask. I don't want to go to his place right now, it would be too soon for such things and besides what I am going to say is something serious and inside four walls isn't the best place to talk. "Fine," he agreed and came outside with me. We
