Part 6

Margareth POV

Once I agreed to meet Bastian in his place, Xavier darted his cold glance at me and yelled, “Why did you agree to meet him?? Didn’t you think that he had planned something bad for you?”

I rolled my eyes as his yelling brushed my ears. Therefore, Stressful feelings encountered my mind and heart whenever he began to show his jealousy of me too much. Attentively, it was fine if he felt that kind of emotion. Nonetheless, sometimes, he accused me for having an affair with other men. It was unreasonable since there were no strong proofs being shown. That was also the main cause of having argument with him although I didn’t wish it would happen.

Therefore, I clarified, “He is just a friend from a neighbor pack, Xavier. I only want to socialize with him and nothing else.”

“Socialize? Do you think I’m innocent enough to understand what you mean??” Xavier raised his voice tone as his glance became sharper.

“Is it wrong for me to socialize with the pack members or neighbor pack’s members?” I secured myself through the uttered question. Then, I proceeded, “How about you hanging out with Selena and cheating from me?? Even before it is revealed, have I ever limited your freedom to socialize?!”

The truths coming out from my mouth slapped his face immediately. In consequence, he avoided an eye-contact with me along with his silence. Leastwise, I was able to remind that he was also wrong at the first place. Even, it would be better if he felt sorry and stopped meeting Selena for my sake. Nevertheless, it might be my dull expectation. Xavier Brown was quite persistent when it was about his free will for having another woman, besides me as his Luna and wife.

Then, I got out from the room for preparing myself. I knew Bastian was not a close friend or a crush, but as a woman, I tended to dress properly for making better impression. As I reached the bedroom on the second floor, I opened the minimalist wooden style wardrobe where the dresses were placed. As my eyes determined each glimpse of the attires for a moment, I then picked a sky blue casual dress with the length above my knees.

After I put on the dress, I put a few make ups as I stared at my reflection carefully. At the same time, my wolf, Emma commented, “Have you already hit on our fated mate? It seems like you are over the moon now.”

Frowning with a few thought in my mind, I claimed, “What did you mean by fated mate? You know that I’m married to Xavier, and he is my mate already.”

Emma sighed and uttered, “Let me remind you that he is just your chosen mate. It is different from fated mate whom you cannot deny his existence. Whenever you meet him, you feel a strange attraction, but you are willing to get close to him.”

While I still focused on the make ups, I insisted, “Well, it is nice to hear about the fact, but it is too sweet to be true. Plus, if Bastian is supposed to be my fated mate, why didn’t we meet earlier? At least, before I get engaged to Xavier.”

After listening to my words, Emma left no words as she closed the mental connection. It seemed that she was pissed off because I almost argued with her for another time. However, it was a normal thing since she and I shared some different opinions about mate. Emma always told me about fated mate as a character that was dreamy and too good to be true. Then, I tended to consider it as a myth despite of the fact that I ever read it in some books at the public library.

Around ten minutes later, I was already in the car and sat next to Bastian in the front seat. His minty scent was pampering my smell. Surprisingly, I felt comforted although it was like smelling the tooth paste. At first, we just exchanged the glance. Subsequently, he said, “How is his reaction towards my invitation?”

“He is jealous obviously. Even, he forbade me not to go with you at first.” I uttered the truth without any hesitation.

Bastian looked stunned once I mentioned about Xavier’s jealousy. Maybe, he thought that Xavier would let me disappear easily because of Selena’s existence. Nonetheless, it was impossible to happen since Xavier was pretty selfish, especially when it was about his needs and his own thing. “It is really suck! He already has his mistress to have fun, but it seems that it is not enough for him,” He exclaimed.

I just smirked and replied, “That’s how my Alpha is. He can be contradictive and impulsive at the same time.”

“He is an assh*l*. I’m sorry if it sounds rude to you.” Bastian expressed his frustration as he sped up his car and passed the other vehicles around.

As I listened to his words, I only stroke a tiny smile. I knew I was disappointed by Xavier’s attitude, but this time, I felt that I shouldn’t stand up for him. I might have stood up whenever somebody insulted him in the past. However, for now, it felt different for me. It seemed that I literally enjoyed him being insulted by another man whom I had just met.

For about forty five minutes forward, the car Bastian drove entered the mansion area. The green grass land greeted my sight as the crate was still driven. While the crate stopped in front of the gate, a butler came and opened the car door gently. “Welcome to the mansion, Alpha Bastian,” He greeted warmheartedly.

Feeling shocked with the greetings, I was speechless at first. I never imagined a man with a humble attire and attitude like Bastian was an Alpha of a pack. Yeah, I hadn’t followed any news about other packs, except my own pack. However, being picked up and saved by another Alpha was like a blessing in disguise. With the curiosity embracing myself, I stared at Bastian deeply and whispered, “Why didn’t you tell me who you truly are??”

“Let’s get inside. I’ll explain a few things to you.” He invited as he smiled widely.
