Margareth POV
"Is it good?" Bastian threw a question at me while I was trying a piece of portuguese egg tart in my right hand. "Yes, it is. Why don't you try?" I inclined and extende a paper bag of the remaining portuguese egg tarts inside of it. Then, the Alpha took a piece of the delicious treat and tried it gradually. Chewing while processing its sweet and lovely taste. After that, he uttered an opinion, "It is a bit dry, but its feeling is good enough. At least, it is not too sweet." "Maybe I'll look at the certain website for the authentic recipe." I said while sealing the paper bag. It must be done, otherwise the egg tarts left would be soggy, and it was not enjoyable. "No need to do it. I know how to bake an egg tart. Next time, we will cook it together." He replied while holding my left hand gently. "For real?" I ensured if his wordHesitantly, Xavier hearing the updates answered, "Just for two nights. After this, I'll send you the ticket for returning. I already booked it two hours ago." "All right, Alpha. I'll be heading to the hotel now." Nick inclined and obeyed casually. Yet, before the call was ended, Xavier reminded him, "For a reminder. Can you please not to touch her since she is unconscious?" "Of course not. I will not touch her since she is your target, Boss." Nick assured his boss eventhough he really wanted to scold him. It was like the thousandth time for Xavier to remind him not to do something harsh to Margie whenever he was spying on her. "Okay. Thank you for your cooperation. See you in the pack!" Xavier expressed his gratitude and hung up the call. -**- Meanwhile, Bastian already finished talking
Bastian POV "Can't you just rest yourself? You are such a mess up now, Bastian." Clement, my wolf, yapped at me for another time. In the complete timeline, he had asked me to sleep, even when I had reached the hotel and sat on the corner of the bed. "I wanna, Clem, but it's hard! Margie is missing, and it is exactly in this dangerous country!" I complained as I messed my hair up. The fury strong creature could only sighed. Then, he added, "I know your mate disappears, but you need to calm down. Besides that, you still have an errand to run on, haven't you?" "Yes, there is, but I don't think I can get myself focused on it. My minds are completely on her. I'm afraid if someone out there will harass her." I expressed my true feeling towards my mate's sudden d
Xavier POV "Selena, where will you go?? You cannot bring Nathan outside too much, remember?" I followed her as I waited for her answer. My brown orbs also noticed that she carried Nathan in her arms. Selena stopped and answered, "I'm sorry if I just tell you this news. Our pup has been registered to the swimming lesson since I want him to be healthier." I squinted and thought that it was such a useless thing to do. In addition, as a werewolf, we barely fought in the water. That was true we had our human physical bodies, but her excuse was weird, or it was just my instinct. "Isn't it too early for him? he is just a month old pup." I tried to negotiate with her. At the same time, I observed her expressions in detail, trying to find out the lies she tried to hide. "No, of course not. The coach says that it is a healthy way, so
Margareth POV Reacting to my question with a crafty smile, his phone buzzing distracted his attention. "Wait for a moment." He uttered while answering the call with the ear buds plugged on his ears. "Yeah, Sellie? Have you arrived?" He uttered casually while driving and passing the rows of vehicle in the street. "Yes, babe. I just arrive. Now, Nathan is practising on how to float." The she-wolf voice was heard a bit from the phone speaker. I was not eavesdropping, but that was how I apprehended the sound. "Have fun with him and always put your eyes on." He reminded her. It was like he wanted to make me jealous for being attentive to her. Yet, it did not work on me because my feelings to him had died long time ago. In less than five minutes, the call was ended. Then, his tenor v
Beta Asthon POV In an hour forward, after Gamma Cole helped me to move the Alpha in his room, I dialed Doctor Carson directly. Through the speaker, the waiting tones greeted me, expecting me to wait although I knew there would be a chance for the important figure not to answer the call. "Come on! Just answer the call, Doc!" I muttered as I looked at the Alpha being fastened on the bed like a patient with mental illness. While Gamma Cole decided to prepare the mini medical drawers, the place which was used by the Alpha for placing the pills and other ointments. Then, in a split second, the call was connected. "Good Day. How can I help you?" Doctor Carson opened the conversation. "Doc, this is me Beta Ashton of Red Iris Pack. My Alpha has shifted into the wolf form. Can you please come over for the medical check-up?" I mentioned the summary while expecting the doctor's positive a
Margareth POV "Are you challenging me, my ex-wife?" the male figure with his undercut hairstyle inquired as his orbs observed the details of my face carefully. To be frank, his stares were my favorite thing about him, especially when our mate bonds were still intact. I always made an eye contact with him whenever he teased me. It was lovely and cute before I witnessed his adultery by my own orbs. In contrast, his stares for me this time felt insincere. What I found mostly through his brown orbs were ego and lusts. Then, I rolled my eyes and replied, "Let's consider it as yes. I challenge you, so that you could not mess up with me anymore." In a split second, his widened gentle smile changed into the mean one, the sign that there was an ulterior motive of him for kidnapping me. "It seems that you are braver than I ever know. Does the royal Alpha teach you to be a badass she-wolf?" He sneered. I then smirked, squinted my eyes, and replied, "No. I'm actually fearless, but I h
The next two days, on Saturday in October, Bastian in his wolf form was picked up by Carter and Dave. The three Alphas decided to find Margie together with the help of Marina, the witch staying in the middle of Archipellago forest. With the dark blue Jeep Wrangler, they were on their way which took around two and a half hours to reach the destination. During that time, the Alphas exchanged the story and words. At first, it was done by Carter and Dave for casting the uneasiness feelings in Bastian's heart. However, as the minutes passed, Bastian joined the conversation. He did it because of the reminder of Doctor Carson to always maintain his stress level in the stable state. If he didn't do it, he might overthink each tragedy or hard situation, and he would not be able to shift into the human form. In the middle of discussion, Carter suddenly changed the topic by asking Dave, "Anyway, how is your little sister? Is she still hopeless romantic?" "Not anymore. She finally deci
Bastian POV When the sky was still dark and the time in my watch was around 02.10AM, we arrived at the Silver Fur Pack Palace. With the travel bags I pulled and the backpack hanging on my shoulders, I got off from the jeep car and followed Dave and Carter to enter the luxurious palace. It was as big as my mansion, but the inner view inside of the building was actually small. It was not really spacious either due to the placement of the certain furnitures and antiques. Carter loved collecting antique vases and renaissance pictures. "Matt!" Carter shouted as his orbs explored the first floor, trying to find the owner of the name. I knew who he meant by because I ever stayed in the palace twice. If this moment was included, it was considered as the third time. In less than few seconds, the man with a hundred and seventy centimeters appeared in the formal white shirt and black pants. "What's the matter, Alpha Carter?" He inquired carefully. It seemed that he was so obedient wit
Margareth POV As day to day greeted me with various vibes and news, the day I had waited for finally called my name. With the widened smile on my face, enveloped by the brush of elegant style make up, I stared at my reflection on the mirror, wearing the white long gown for another time. I knew this was not my first wedding, but the vibes were very contrast. Two years ago, I was unsure if I must marry the chosen mate my parents always trusted. Constrastly, for this such important moment, I could feel my heartbeat in its unstable pulses. I was also afraid if I might not be fluent enough when uttering the vows. Moreover, I was also worried if most of the members of Red Iris Pack would be badmouthing me. Since some of them might have acknowledged my family background and life history, it would be pretty shocking for them if I married their Alpha. The thing that I was afraid of the most was they could not accept or respect me as their Luna. At the same time, when I was drowning
The information received by both Margie and Bastian resulted on different reactions. Margie looked shocked, while Bastian was chill with it. With the state fact, the she-wolf stood up and asked, "Can't his wolf return soon? His integrity as a top-tier Alpha will be ruined if his pack members know that their Alpha cannot shift." Then, the Doctor darted a glance at her and replied, "It is not about he will return soon or not. It is more about his wolf demands for healing himself. Last time, the fury creature decided to take over his body, and he turned out to be a beast outside." "Doc, please help my boyfriend! I'll pay no matter how much it is, but please make his wolf return from the resting pace." The she-wolf immediately begged. She felt guilty at the same time for causing Bastian's wolf to be resting in no exact time. In that case, the doctor grinned bitterly. He also shook his head a bit and claimed, "I'm sorry before you get offended by my words, but his wolf may return if
Bastian POV I thought that every obstacle I had faced would bring me and Margie a peace. However, my expectation fooled out. It brought me into the most important state in my life. I was sure if I was held by Moon Goddess because I had to sacrifice one thing from the choices she would give. I furrowed my eyebrows and said, "Please, don't beat around the bush. I need to return to my fated mate soon, Goddess." "All right." She inclined and sighed. Then, she continued, "Between your wolf and Margareth. If you choose your wolf, you will be hospitalized in a comma state. It means you will return with your wolf once it recovers." "What if I choose Margareth instead?" I rose my left eyebrow, wondering what kind of consequences I would take when I chose the love my life. Would it be the worst decision ever? With her calm expressions, the elegant figure in her dusty pink c
As the time passed, at another circumstances, Selena arrived at the gate of Brown Iris Castle. Before she got off from Richard's car, the Gamma observed the area around the castle, including the inner view of it. Then, he said, "I guess there is no one in there. Are you sure you want to return? Isn't it better to stay in my apartement?" Selena stopped from rolling the door knob and replied, "In fact, I really want to stay with you forever, Richie. Believe me, I'd love to do it, even without your order." "Why don't we return then?" Gamma Richard got her left hand and kissed it gently. "Richie, I do this because of that sh*tty Alpha, Xavier. If I were in your place for three days, he would come and confront you. Do you want it to be like that?" Selena stared at him deeply as she uttered. She knew that her lover attempted to make her stay longer. "No problem for me. If it is possible, you may file a divorce decree to him. Just state that he does harmful things to you." Richard
Margareth POV "No, I'll not leave you here!" I uttered with the tears peeking in my orbs. I could not let him harm himself for my freedom from here. He had done so much thing for me, and it was too good to be true for me. "It's not the time to get stubborn, Margie." Bastian said while blocking and returning the punches from the safety guards in turns. I inhaled carefully, tried to calm myself although it didn't really work. With the bravery gathered in my heart, I told the others, "Let's get out from here!" "Okay!" The rest of them answered. Therefore, they fled while Bastian was fighting. Yet, deep inside my heart, my worriness to Bastian grew larger. I was afraid if he was injured and unable to survive. Around a few more minutes forward, we reached the ground floor. At that point, Xavier was held in his arms by Dave, the Alpha whom Jessie had crush on. "D*mmit! I should never let all of yo
Bastian POV "After our mission is accomplished, you can ruin him. Let your wolf use its strenght maximally, if you want." Carter tried to help me in managing myself. I still sighed and inhaled carefully although Clement was not unstable. I was not surprised to find my wolf in unstable emotional state. He was known for being protective and attentive, especially when it was related to his mate and its owner. It might sound strange for other male wolves to know about this thing, but to me, it was a form of concern. He cared for me and Margie's happiness in sum. After that, the silence became our companion for another time. Only the noise of our foot steps and slides were talking, as if they barked at us for not being able to walk faster. The only reason for not so fast in walking for us was to make sure that no body would be suspicious and catch us for sneaking in basement area, especially Xavier.
Margareth POV The luxurious place changed into the cold cell in two days. It was caused by my disobedience to his requests and orders. With a small grin painted on my face, I sat on the cold floor, feeling proud of myself although I knew I had not smelled the freedom. For me, personally, it was better for me to be placed in this creepy place. Rather than obeying and acting sweer to my ex-husband, I preferred showing who I was truely. He might seize my neck until I met my last breath, but he may never forget how regretful he was for abandoning and rejecting me in the past. "CLING..CLUNG.." The noise of steel bars sliding to each other was perceived, distracting my mind and focus at the same time. Then, the sound of the foot steps followed. I guessed it might be Xavier or one of his minions. However, unexp
Another few days afterwards, Bastian and his two besties had finalized their set up planned situation. Yet, for Bastian himself, he didn't expect too high from the plan he had done with the two Alphas friend. It might sound a bit pessimistic for him not to set a successful target in rescuing Margie. However, what he truly focused on was saving and protecting his fated mate. Even if it would cost his own life, he would sacrifice it. Therefore, after he made sure that his appearance was like the cursed prince and the successful oil businessman, he got out from his room. From there on, his existence was greeted by several reactions of Carter and Dave. "Oh no, he reminds of the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood story." Carter said while managing himself not to laugh. He noticed that Bastian was slightly more sensitive after being trapped in his wolf for
Selena POV After I left Brown Iris Castle, I resolved to go to the Black Fur Pack by bus. The journey might be around one and a quarter hour, but it was finer than staying in the castle and bickering with the dumbest husband and Alpha. I knew I ever fell for him, and so he did. However, it seemed that I only wanted him for a short time being. From the recent perspective, I realized that I just obsessed with him since he had greater status than mine, as an omega, previously. In contrast to my feelings to Richard, I felt more open to him although he was just a Gamma of Black Fur Pack, my origin pack before I resided and got married to Xavier. Moreover, I could be myself more around him. I didn't have to show my sexiness too much, unlike when I was with Xavier. As I seated myself on the bus, the slight cold air from the air conditioner on the top kissed the tip of my head. At this point, I also noticed that the bus was not really crowded. There were so many empty seats around,
