Looking at the interaction between his Alpha and Margie, Beta Ashton observed the intense gaze done by Bastian to the she-wolf. At that point, he concluded that his single Alpha gave some clues on courting Margie although it was not really clear.
"I guess it's just an initial state of courting the ex-Luna. However, if he intends to do so, I don't really mind about it. As long as he is happy, I will feel the same way since he has been alone for quite long. In other words, I can say that Alpha is not a player type." Beta Ashton pondered. Then, during the silence between them, Doctor Carson along with a nurse entered the room and said, "Excuse me. It's time to check the patient." "All right. Here she is." Bastian walked backwards and let the doctor do the medical check-up. Once the check-up for heartbeat and eyes done, the nurse followed it by checking the blood pressure using the manometer. "The blood pressure is normaAcknowleding what the meaning of Xavier's utterance, Margie sighed, sipped a little amount of water from the glass and said, "Yeah, I'm serious with my decision. Just take the food back to the castle. Give it to Selena since she will be the mom of your upcoming pup." Xavier with his bright gaze towards Margie smiled and replied, "All right if you say so, but whenever you need anything, just ask me." Margie then inquired, "Why should I? Mind if I tell you the truth?" "Go ahead." Xavier let his ex-mate speak. "First, we have rejected each other, and will be officially divorce. Next, you need to focus on Selena and your pup. They need you more than others. The last, don't mind about me or any circumstance that I will be. I can take care of myself." Margie made herself clear through her sentences. She even hoped that her ex-mate would stop annoying her around. Xavier's smile disappeared
On the other side, Xavier dialed one of his minions, and he was talking to him in his mad expression. It was obvious that his mood was messed up that day. "Have you followed them? How is it?" He investigated impatiently. "I'm doing it right now, Sir. They are speeding up, and I need to follow them carefully." The man with black sleeveless t-shirt said. Xavier sighed and demanded, "No matter how crowded the street is, follow them! Once you have done, figure out the street name and the adress information where the car stops! Understood??" The man replied, "Okay, Sir." "If you can finish this task, I'll pay you with extra money." Xavier persuaded the trusted minion he knew from a friend. The man feeling challenged by what his boss asked replied, "I'll make sure it's done." "Good." Xavier uttered shortly as he disconnected the call with his stern expression.
Margareth POV After I uttered the sarcastic sentences, his panic gazes turned into the softer and genuine one. That kind of glare was barely found to me. As he rubbed my knuckle gently, he said, "I can guarantee that there will be no Love War in my mansion." I then pulled my hands from his touch and inquired, "Why don't we look at the situation first? Maybe, in a week or a month." "What if you are injured by the strangers or serial killers?" Bastian began to express that he thought about the matter too over. By listening to the question, I also noticed his gaze that was full of uneasiness. "I may run from them." I answered it calmly although I wasn't sure if I could always run from dangers. Bastian with his gaze darted at me inquired again, "What if you are kidnapped, and I'm not able to find and rescue you in time??" I blinked a second and said, "Why
Margareth POV After I lied on the bed for a while, I decided to step out from the bedroom. As I reached the living room, the savoury scent of the instant noodle cup smooched my nose. It certainly rose the hunger rambling in my stomach. "Just sit and eat here! It's just cooked." Jessie waved at me and pulled the chair next to her. I obeyed her request and grabbed a cup of instant noodles along with the chopstick. "Why don't you eat first? It's cooked, isn't it?" I was surprised since her cup was not yet opened. "I'm just about to call you, but fortunately you come out from the bedroom." Jessie said while her hands began to open the seal on the top of noodle cup. Through the cup, I could see its steam and the red brine which was mixed with the noodles and mixed vegetables a little bit. It was certainly spicier than mine because I just realized that the flavor my noodle cup was just garlic chicken broth
On another place and day, Bastian sitting in his room, in the office was talking to Alpha Carter through the phone call. "How is it? Is your fated mate with you now?" the barritone voice owner inquired curiously. "Not yet. She is still staying at her pack. It seems that she might never choose my mansion as her final decision to stay." The pessimistic feeling started to linger in the Alpha's mind. Carter raised his eyebrows and commented, "What makes you think so? Don't you say that she is your fated-mate?" Bastian rolled his eyes and declared, "Yeah, I do. I realize it when I meet her for the first time, but I notice that a few troubles came between me and her." "That's just the tests between you and her. After you find her, there will be some obstacles that you must face with her." Carter uttered, indirectly lecturing his best friend. Bastian sighed for a few moments. Then, Carter
Margareth POV My curiosity could not be held any longer. After I heard the same suggestion about staying at Red Iris Mansion, I observed his face, trying to read what his motives towards me exactly. Yet, I found nothing. My grey-orbs kept scanning his true motive for being so eager to have me in his mansion. Nonetheless, it was like finding a needle among the hays. Instead, I felt that he was really genuine through his offer. "Margie?" He called my name, shattering my thoughts to his masmerizing visual with a long bleeding wound on his right cheek. "Yes?" I said with inquisitive gaze. "I'm worried about you because you are my mate." Bastian locked his stare at me while uttering. Those words made my heart beat faster, and I don't know why it was coincidentally related as if it must have been like that. I feeling like in a dreamland after listening to his utterance re
Bastian POV With the heart skipping a beat, my focus on the cookies was distracted to her face. It was caused by her sudden offer of staying for the night. Previously, I never predicted her to say such a thing, but the reality seemed like night and day. As an Alpha who had ever been close to some girls, either omega or the daughters of Beta or Alpha, it was quite common to be offered to stay for a night in their houses. They did it since they elevated their expectation to the highest about me. Obviously, it was such a prestigious chance to have me as their mates because I could be considered as the youngest Alpha among the top-tier pack. Nevertheless, I rejected their offers politely with the suitable excuses. Yet, regarding on Margie's offer, I felt a strange attraction. Currently, my heart was pounding as my orbs met hers. Through her gaze, I could sense that the offer was a formality since the rain was getting harder along wi
Margareth POV "Hmmmh.." With the closed eyes, I mumbled as my ears were greeted by the song sung by the birds outside the windows. It was a sign that the night had been replaced by a brand new day. Slowly, I woke up and got up. I rubbed my messy hair and yawned for a while. With the thought of greeting Bastian in the morning, I rolled the knob and walked out from the room. Then, I confidently smiled. However, before a greeting and few words came out from my mouth, I realized that the living room was empty. On the sofa, there were only a folded blanket along with a pillow. "Where is he?" I pondered. Then, I swayed my feet to the kitchen, assuming that he might be eating or having a cup of coffee. Yet, I found none of his existence in the kitchen where the dining table was also located. At that point, my orbs were darted to a plate of sandwich with a short folded notice written on the
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
