Bastian POV
I knew she might recognize the attraction between us gradually. Nevertheless, I could not let it happen through the time being. It was like wasting my time mostly. If she ended up with me finally, it would be a blessing, but if it was not like that, what should I do then? That was why I initiated to buy a medium-size bouquet of roses for showing her my true intention. People might thing that it was too flashy, but I didn't care. For me now, I wanted her to realize that I would always be available for her. After she acknowledged my motives, I heard her soft voice sweeping my hearing sense, "Why do you choose me? I don't feel attractive even though I have a right to find someone new." "Because I want to be commited to you. I know words may not be the strong proofs, but let me show them that I'm serious with you." I walked towards her as I said. Then I gently grabbed her hands.Margareth POV His touch and gazes, the things that always succeeded at making my tongue stiffened. I actually wanted to pull back, but it seemed that I was lost in his gentle touch. Yet; when his face got closer to me, I immediately pulled back, as my logic reminded about how the wounds in my heart were. "Well, I'm sorry. I don't mean it." He also gained his consciousness and removed his thumb from my lips directly. He then avoided his eyes from mine while taking a new glass and pouring the rest of orange juice into it. Along with his sudden action, I walked further and permitted myself, "I'll go showering first then. Bye for now." He just nodded, letting me disappear from his sight. Furthermore, I entered the bedroom and opened the water to fulfill the bathtub. I was in a mood for soaking my body in the warm water which was full of foamy body soap. Once it was enough, I added a little amount of bubble
Day by day stayed and went in turns. It was accompanied by the minutes and seconds ticking on the analog clock. Through those things, the most awaited month greeted Margie staying at Red Iris Mansion. A week before her ex-husband's wedding party, Margie went to the mall with Jessie for finding gowns and several things related to her preparation. Maybe, it was such a surprising moment to see the she-wolf walked from one departement store to another since she didn't feel sure if attending the wedding party was the right decision. However, the encouragements from Bastian, Jessie, and Elsa made her bravery peak bit by bit. Although she herself was doubtful enough, her logic was motivated to show at the importand occasion. Once she was trying several gowns in one of the most iconic boutiques, she muttered in her mind, "They are true. I should not hide from Xavier and Selena's wedding. It
Margareth POV "Stop. Let me tie the high heels' straps by myself." I immediately stopped Jessie's hand almost touching the straps of my red flashy high heels. "All right, since you say so." Jessie sat on the corner of the bed once I began to tie up the straps carefully. At the same moment, while I was about to stand upright, the figure willing to go to the party opened the door and made sure, "Are you ready.." Nonetheless, before he was able to finish his question, he was stuttered with his gazes darted at me. His round orbs met mine along with my physical appearance that might amazed him. Yet, I was unsure if this looks were suitable enough for me because I barely used full make ups on my face in my daily routines. "M-Mar-gie?? Is this.. y-you?" He stammered in his place while grabbing the knob. "Yes, this is me." I nodd
Bastian POV "Hold on, Bastian. We can't ruin the moments or your reputation here." Clement said as he opened the mental connection carefully. I just groaned lightly as I still clenched the right fist. Neither Xavier nor Selena was right although they were united in a marriage. That was how I saw them as mates and husband-wife couple. After having a handshake with the bride and groom, Margie pulled my right hand and whispered, "They just want to fish your anger, Bastian." "Yes, I just notice it. They are really matched, but in a problematic way." I said as my eyes looked at Xavier and Selena from a far. Margie glancing at them with doubtful gaze stared at me for a while and said, "This party just reminds me that he was just granting his mom's request in the past." "What do you mean by?" I asked as I fixed her fringe and tuck it to her beautiful ears decorated by the s
Margareth POV As the shout was perceived by my ears, I saw its owner walking and approaching with her clenched fists, expressing that she was mad and full of jealousy at the same time. In that case, a sudden crazy idea crossed my mind. I bravely received a glass of wine from Xavier's hand while she had reached with her mad glares at me. "Seducing your husband, huh? Didn't you remember that he was previously mine??" I sneered sarcastically. Then, withour being worried or hatred towards them, I confidently gulped the purple liquid, savour the sour, warm, and sweet taste of it. "This is my way for seducing your husband." I added with my mocking glance. "What a cheap whore!" Her cry grew louder. Along with it, her right hand swayed and smacked opening on my right cheek in no time, "PLAAK!!" In the right time, Bastian approached me with his worried gazes and inquired, "Margie, are you okay?? tell me wh
Margareth POV "All right." He gave up after I forced him to open the zipper on my gown. Gently, my back faced him, I could feel that his fingers unzipped my gown in a half. Through the slightly opened surface of the dress, I felt a bit relieve because the maroon gown I wore was no longer tight and hugged my slim figure. Subsequently, he started the engine and said, "We'd better fix it in the Mansion. In this kind of place, strangers or people noticing about us may assume wrongly on what we are doing now." "Please be quick! I'm afraid I can't hold myself through this insane heat!" I instructed him for another time as I swayed my hands to get air around my body. In fact, the air condirioner in Bastian's car had been set to its maximum level. Yet, I still felt hotter like I was boiled in a griddle. Around thirty minutes onwards, Bastian helped me to step inside the Mansion and reached m
Margareth POV "DRRTT..DRRTT.." The vibration of the phone gradually woke me up. Yet, I felt the sour pains on my private part. As I intended to gain the consciousness, it felt stinger on my cunt. At that point, a familiar bass voice was perceived by my ears, "Are you just waking up? I'm sorry anyway." With the apology he uttered, I gradually realized that I was naked under the same blanket as him, the Alpha of Red Iris Pack. Wait? What the h*ll did I just do last night?? In a second, I attempted to recall the previous memories, starting from the moment I teased Selena by accepting a glass of wine from Xavier. At that point, I was still fine. While it was around afternoon to evening, I remembered that I felt hot in and out of my body. Then, another glimpse of the memories appeared in my mind, I asked the Alpha to touch my body. It certainly made a steamy memory where the Alph
Meanwhile, Xavier was sitting behind his desktop. With his uneasy mind, his intended to pay more attention on the projects his company was involved. Yet, it didn't last longer like usual. His mind was full of frustration and conflicts since his plan to sleep with ex-wife for the last time was totally a failure. "I should have kidnap her instead! the gentle way is no longer working on her. I believe that she still has feelings for me although it is not clear publicly." He spoke in his mind as he clenched his fists. In the middle of the moment, her cell phone rang. Without noticing the caller's name, he answered it, "Yes, This is Xavier speaking. Who is there?" "Hello, Mr. Brown. I'm Hera, the finance agent of Wollie Bank." The twenty-year old woman spoke firmly while hearing the Alpha's voice. "All right. Any matters around regarding on my credit card or my investment account?" Xavier inquired
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,
