Chapter Four

~LOGAN~

Meeting her after almost two years, I didn't know what to feel. I was the one that rejected her, so why am I feeling this way. I didn't reject her for just no reason, she cheated on me. I saw a picture of her with another man in the bed. Kiara, my friend has been telling me of how she sleeps around, but I didn't believe her until I saw a picture of her in a bed with another man.  

I hate myself for not being able to get over her after all these months. I agree that I rejected her because she's weak, and doesn't fit to be my Luna. But, I would have ignored her weak wolf and taken her as my Luna if she didn't cheat on me, because I love her. 

I wanted to take Kiara as my Luna since she's strong and fit to be a Luna, but after rejecting Amber, I just couldn't. I didn't tell my parents that I found my mate and rejected her. My parents like Amber, they told me to take her as my chosen mate since I didn't find my mate on the blood moon day. If only they knew she was my real mate, but I rejected her. I told them that I will wait for my destined mate. I just don't want them to pressure me. 

I was glad they let me be. My father passed down the Alpha title to me, but he still run some things. He told me that I can fully take charge of everything once I find my mate or take a chosen Luna. I didn't like my father's decision, but I can't deny that's how it's done. I want to take full charge of everything as an Alpha, I can do so if I take Kiara as my mate, but I don't know what is holding me back. I just couldn't explain what was wrong with me until the day I saw Amber again. I realized how much I missed her, and how much I want her into my life once again.

It was one week ago that I took over the position of the CEO of the HK group of companies. I worked hard for it, and I was glad I got it. I want to make my pack the greatest among the six packs in my region. I was told that the secretary resigned, and I will get a new secretary. I don't mind, as long as the new secretary will be efficient.

I was in my office, looking down through the window when I saw a car drive in. I was a bit shocked when the door opened and Amber stepped down, maybe it was because I didn't know I would ever see her again.

After I rejected her, I got information that she left the pack. I had a feeling that she must have gone to live with her sister. Unfortunately, I didn't know where her sister lives. When we are together, she always visits her sister. I didn't care much about her sister, that's why I didn't know where she lived. 

When I saw her, I didn't know when a smile escaped my lips. I was happy to see her again. My smile faded immediately when the guy that opened the car door for her, hugged and kissed her. I felt a pang of pain in my chest, she was smiling brightly and looked okay with it. 

Could he be her boyfriend? Was it so easy for her to move on? If these few months were enough for her to move on, that means Kiara was right about her, she never loved me. She only dated me because she wanted to be Luna. Now, I'm more convinced with the photos of her I saw with another man in the bed. 

For more than one year, I was thinking about her. I couldn't move on. I somehow regretted my decision of rejecting her.  

I am such a fool thinking that she hasn't moved on. I hate myself for still thinking about her over the months. Now, I believe that I did the right thing by not accepting her as my mate, she doesn't deserve to be my Luna.

I left the window and went back to my seat. I was trying so hard to get the picture of that man hugging and kissing her out of my head. I hate feeling this way, especially for someone that doesn't care. I was trying so hard to concentrate on work when I heard a knock on my door. I wanted to ignore it but I decided to let the person in, maybe it's someone important.

When the door creaked open, a familiar intoxicating scent hit me hard. My breath hitched as my heart started beating faster than usual. I didn't expect her to come to my office, or was she here to see me? I gulped down as I slowly looked up and my eyes met her slightly widened eyes. I hate the way I'm feeling right now, and I hate the way my heart is racing. My eyes got stuck on her, I couldn't even look away. She's glowing, more beautiful than before. Her ass and boobs have gotten a bit fuller. I hate the way my eyes were checking her out. It took me my all to take my eyes off her. I don't want her to think that I'm still affected by her. 

“Are you the new secretary?" I asked with an unfriendly tone. I was surprised when she introduced herself formally. She acted as if we never knew each other. What was I even thinking? Of course she has forgotten about me, she has moved on. She already has a boyfriend.

I can't believe that she's acting as if she doesn't know that Linus is no longer the CEO of HK. I know that her sister lives in this city, although I don't know the exact place, so she also lives in this city, and she must have heard the news. 

I fought myself not to get close to her, but in the end I found myself walking up to her. I regretted my decision the moment her strawberry and vanilla scent invaded my senses. I found myself staring at her breast. Did she wear this blouse to seduce me? Well, she succeeded because I can't take my eyes off her cleavage. It somehow hurt when she moved back, as if my closeness repulsed her.

“Don't act as if you didn't come here for me. And don't act as if you don't like the closeness." I didn't know when those words left my lips. Well, I don't see any other reason that will make her take the position of secretary despite knowing that I'm the CEO. She looked surprised but I didn't buy the crap. I'm sure she knew that I'm the CEO.

“Are you having second thoughts? Do you want to give up the job? It looks like you still have feelings for me, and don't know how to control it if you work for me." I don't want her to give up the job, that's why I said that to her, knowing that she will definitely work here once I say that to her.

It hurts when she said that she has long forgotten me, and I no longer exist in her world. Of course I know she has moved on, but she shouldn't have spat it on my face. I didn't let her know that her words hurt me, I masked it with anger.

She was so blunt, and I hate it. I felt another pain when she said that she hates me. I wasn't able to hide the pain, but I was quick to mask it with anger once again.

I didn't know what was wrong with me. Despite the hurtful words she said, I still couldn't help but get distracted by her. I tried my best not to stare at her, but damn that transparent wall. I was so frustrated and decided to let it out on her by taking loads of work to her table. I started feeling guilty when she was working non stop, and didn't go out for lunch when it was time.

I fought really hard not to stand from my seat and go to her office, but in the very end, I saw myself standing in front of her table.

“May I help you with anything, sir?" Her angelic voice asked.

Fuck! My eyes flickered towards her breast. This is a fucking mess. I don't want to appear as a fucking pervert. Why the fuck did she wear a blouse like this.

“Sir?" She snapped me out of my daze.

“Ah… ehm…" shit! Why am I stuttering? I cleared my throat and said. “I promised to take the staff working in my office out for lunch today. Since you are a staff member in my office, you are free to join."

I didn't wait for her reply as I walked ahead, but I heard her footsteps following me.

The staff working in my office all stood up to greet me the moment I entered their general office.

“You can stop working. I promised to take you guys out for lunch. So, I'm here to fulfil my promise," I said with my usual cold tone. They all looked surprised. Well, I didn't promise them anything. I just want an excuse to take Amber out for lunch.
