Margareth POV
I was stunned by his simple request regarding on him having helped me so much to go through my marriage matter. Is he joking through his wish? or it's just nothing, and he didn't need me to return his good deeds?? If he really meant it, he was truly insane. Why did I think so? It was like I received a free help from such an honorable Alpha. It was more like a dream to me. Maybe, Jessie as my friend would suggest me to stay cool although my offer to return his good deeds was rejected indirectly. Yet, I was raised in a conservative family that really appreciated attitudes and manners. Those things were already rooted in me, so I would still attempt to return the things he had done or given to me. With such kind of attitude, I could live more peacefully although maybe, I had to reside from here one day. "W-wait. You want me to stay here and being your companion. Can you make yourself more clear?" I finallyBastian POV About ten minutes later, my steps in the mansion was meeting with the stairs right after it touched the marble floors. With a relieve in my heart, I widened a tiny smile curve on my face, describing that my optimism was on its peak. "I know I shouldn't feel happy about Xavier impregnanting his mistress like this, but his Luna is actually my fated mate! If my Beta or Gamma friends know about this matter, they will lecture for not to steal somebody's mate. It's definitely caused by some of them being the close-minded people. They tend to see that courting other people's mate is the most sinful." I pondered as I had reached the working room and began to sit behind my desk. After that, I start focusing my mind on the tender held by my company. It was clearly appeared on my laptop's screen. With the tender diagram progress, I could see that many medium-size companies and start-up businesses were offeri
After giving a CPR for two times, Margie coughed and gained her conciousness. "Huff..huff!" She coughed so hard while opening her eyes. That kind of response certainly reduced Bastian's uneasiness. "Bas-tian??" She reacted shockingly."Yes, I'm here." He responded and continued, "What makes you fall into the river? it's quite dangerous although it's shallow.""Well, I could not really remember it clearly." Margie said while squeezing her forehead a bit. It seemed that she was a bit dizzy after drowning for a while. "Let's back to the mansion." Bastian suggested, and he started carrying her on bridal style position. By the time as their body got closer, Margie felt a strong heat surrounded around the Alpha's muscular body. That kind of heat was never embracing her before, even when she ever hugged Xavier, she didn't feel such a thing. "Why is his temperature hotter than Xavier? he is
Margareth POV With the moments passed along with the tickling of the wall clock, the day I could not wait arrived and greeted me with the sunshine. Yeah, the day was pretty cheerful, very contrast with my heart being blue from the first time I stayed in this mansion. However, as I stayed here longer, I noticed a few things related on my marriage with Xavier. Unfortunately, those things were mostly negative. One of them was I should never regret for leaving him or even rejecting his offer to bring me back to Brown Iris Pack. That thing I just realized was based on the commitment I had contributed to him and the pack, not to mention my responsibility as his wife. For some other werewolves, it was wise enough to forgive your mate for his or her wrongdoings. I admitted it was a wise advice. Nonetheless, it was just about a principle being held by other werewolves. Moreover, I felt free for not forgivi
Around an hour and a few minutes, Bastian and Margie arrived at Brown Iris Castle. With a pack of cheesecake she had bought a day before, Margie confidently knocked on the door. However, it was not opened by either Xavier or Selena. Instead, through inside of the door, Calista as one of the maids shouted, "Wait a minute!" Once it was opened, the short dark hair woman was shocking since it had been a long time for her not to see her Luna. "L-Luna?? Is this really you?" Calista stammered with her widened stares. She couldn't believe that it was the time when she met her Luna after she heard the news about Xavier's affair. "Hello, Calista. Nice to see you again." Margie greeted the maid. Following with that, the maid hugged her and replied, "Where have you been in a month and more? Alpha Xavier could not really handle this pack alone. He mostly spends his time to be with Selena, My Luna." Calista inquired and told the truth of Xavier, t
Margareth POV A few slashes in my wounded heart made my eyes teary all of a sudden. It occurred during the rejection vow uttered by Xavier, an Alpha who was no longer I can call him as mine. It was hurt if I admited it in the honest way, but this was nothing when I had to compare it with his betrayal towards my commitment. As the tears run down on my face, Bastian calmed me down by holding my left hand and whispering, "That's okay. You can cry as much as you want." After that, Selena's voice was coming out as she uttered, "Finally! You reject her, Babe!" Following with her exclamation words, the pregnant she-wolf gently hugged Xavier's left shoulder. Her loving and heartwarming smile also appeared with the sweet attitude. In contrast, Xavier didn't look happy while receiving the such treatment. Unfortunately, my ex mate kept his gaze on me, and he seemed not to be comfortable w
At ten minutes onward, the steak ordered by Bastian and Margie came in the hotplates. Those tempting view on the table made Margie amazed since she barely ate the steaks on such kind of utensil. While she was about to take a knife and a fork, Bastian offered, "Do you mind if I slice them for you? Your steak looks a bit hard from outside." "Well, that's fine. I'll slice it by myself." Margie softly rejected his offer. Then, she continued, "You can enjoy your meal anyway." Bastian casually replied, "Okay." While he was busy slicing the medium-rare steak, Margie was stunned with the texture of the meat along with its blood. "Isn't it nasty? it's the blood of the cow as my eyes have checked from here," Margie added. "Yes, it looks nasty for other werewolves. It will be different story for me." Bastian immediately described how he really liked his steak to be done. Margie just stroke a tiny
Bastian POV "What do you mean by? I don't disturb or even touch her." Harper insisted with her innocent stares at me. I cleared my throat and retorted, "Don't act like you do nothing. I know you tried to harm her." Those innocent orbs directly glanced at somewhere else. I knew she was lying because she did trying to put Margie into a trouble. Although it made my fated mate drowning and fainted, it was still unforgivable. In that case, I aimed to make her realize where she stood at. In sum, she admitted, "Another new thing that you must know about me is I don't really like looking at your interaction with her, the runaway Luna." "What did you just say? Runaway Luna?" Bastian demanded with his stern look. He then made it clear by saying, "Let me emphasize her actual identity, she is just a werewolf like us. Next, she is betrayed by his chosen mate, and it is very awful since her mate has a mistress. Now,
Feeling rejected and hurt the most in the situation, Harper widened her stares and stated, "She is no body here, Bastian! She will cause a trouble for you if she keeps staying here!" Bastian with the rage in himself replied, "Do you even think if casting her away from here will make me like you?? Don't pull my legs, Harper! I'll keep it the same, you are just a friend and nothing else!" "Well, I realize it now, what kind of person you are." Harper said while wiping her tears. Through her gaze, it was completely decribed that she was so messed up with her unrecruited love to Bastian. In that case, she continued, "And I feel regretful for falling to someone like you. Today, I also realize that you will choose this she-wolf over your own childhood friend. What a pathetic Alpha you are! Prioritizing stranger is like your main task, but when it is about your childhood friend, it's nothing." Bastian squeezed his
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,
Xavier POV "CLING!" The little noise of the padlock hitting the steel bars of the cell was apprehended. Then, I put the key in my pocket and sneered at Margie, "Enjoy yourself behind this luxurious cage. I'll release you when you change your mind and decide to return to me and this pack." She stared at me flatly and responded sarcastically, "Thank you for letting me stay here. No matter how long I will be alive, I choose to die instead of returning to you and fall into your love trap. That's the silliest thing I really regret and do!" Feeling the fury of anger heating my heart, I could only inhale gradually. I tried to manage myself to her mind game. I understood why she did the sarcasm. She was so eager to rise my blood pressure. Whenever I really got mad, she would be happier, feeling that she had knocked me down mentally. After staring at her for a moment, I decided
