Chapter 3 When Did We Get So Rich?

(Hirre's POV).

In the car

I didn't let Alejandro take my rejection until the end.

"Damn it!" Harsha was angry too.

"Forget it, at least we got out safely." I comforted Harsha, but I was also worried. If Alejandro kept not accepting my rejection like this, it would mean that we would only be tied together forever, and I would lose my freedom forever...

"There must be another way, Hirre," Harsha said, sensing my concern. Yes, there must be a way!

"Miss, we're here" the driver's voice brought me back to reality...

But I was amazed the fact that this airplane looked like it wasn't just a simple one but a private one. A smile subconsciously formed on my lips as I saw the luxurious plane with my naked eyes. My uncle actually got such a luxurious private jet in order to make me look respectable.

But what I didn't expect was for Uncle Lucio to come and pick me up himself! I was surprised when I saw who was together with him.

"How did you come to..."

They were my cousins, Nyx, Matt and Sandra. I warm smile appeared on my lips, happy seeing them again after a long years. I really didn't expect that they, too, would come to pick me up.

" Have you forgotten how to hug after not seeing each other for too long?"

"Hi guys ...."

I was very happy as they greeted me with their embrace as I replied them with a hello. I almost couldn't hold back my tears as I felt how they put too much care on me even though I chose another man instead of them.

"Okay, you guys, let her go, she's about to lose her breath!" A man's stern voice reached my ears.

"Dad, come and hug Hirre too! Aren't you wishing for her to come home every day?!" Sandra said as she turned toward the man.

That man was my uncle whom I hadn't seen for a long time, he was my father to me, but countless times he contradicted him and hurt him...

"Uncle... S-sorry..." I turned around and apologized with my head bowed as I couldn't meet him in the eye. “I let the call of my heart win, that's why I've become reckless...I'm really s-..." But before I could finish my sentence, Nyx tapped my shoulder and smiled at me.

"You don't have to say sorry. You've just tried to love." He uttered, which made the other three nod their head.

I swallowed my saliva as I felt my throat getting dry. Uncle tapped my hand and spoke again with a gentle voice, "We will always be here for you. No matter how stubborn you are."

I felt my cold heart was now melting with their warmth as they gave me a group hug.

"Thank you..." I muttered as I closed my eyes and opened my heart to feel their love.I'm really going to start my new life, the life that was meant to be mine.

A little while later, the plane arrived at its destination. But not the Tyranny Pack.

''Is here...?'' I couldn't help but wonder inwardly

Two airplanes were landing on both sides of the massive land area surrounded by grass plains. Not far away on the tarmac there were all kinds of planes parked, but only the common airline planes were absent. Apparently, it was all private.

"This guy has a looot of money..." I didn't hold back from speaking out.

"These..." I turned my head ready to ask Nyx where this was, but none of them were looking at me, either reading or using the computer, as if they were the busiest people in the world...

I had to talk to my wolf, trying to use my werewolf's keen senses.

"Harsha... Did you sense something here? Is there a strange smell?"

"Actually, I cannot sense anything that can bother me. It's all about the smell of money here, which is really quite strange." She is so humorous...

"Fine... I was just curious how uncle Lucio can afford this kind of luxurious plane. And why are we here, by the way?"

"Maybe... Your uncle have a business meeting or a little trip in here... ?"

" Maybe..."

" Stop thinking, just enjoy it all "She's still so open-minded.

I shrugged my shoulder and didn't agree with my wolf. I stood and followed them off the plane.

In fact, I know my pack better than my wolf. Yes, I knew that the Tyranny pack was powerful but in fact, but we do not promote luxury and I was raised to be frugal and such a scene today is a rarity...

My curiousity overwhelmed me all the more, I  went beside Sandra and whispered in her ears, "Sandra...How did Uncle Lucio change his spending habits?  When did he get so rich?"

"Keke.  This..." She replied, which made me feel curious even more.

"Sandra!" just as she was about to tell me something, Nyx called out to her, as if to stop her from telling me something? But that made me even more curious. I looked at Nyx with a puzzled face, hoping he would give me an answer.

But he said, "You guys go ahead and get changed, you'll know everything when you come out later," and walked off in the other way.

"Hirre, I sense a luxurious things inside..." Harsha spoke within me.

I looked around as I walked toward a black oak door and observed the things around me as I followed Sandra's direction. We went to the dressing room which had a massive walked-in closet with lots of evening dresses were hung all over the place. There was also quite a few dresses with high-class design made by some popular dress designers.

"Is this all ours? Harsha spoke again as she saw how stunning was the dresses.

"Ladies, please choose your evening dresses. Sir has instructed that you don't need to rush. Everyone will wait for you. No one will rush the ladies to become pretty." A woman in a professional suit with meticulously organized hair said to us respectfully with a smile.

Sir?

Who's the Sir? My uncle? Or cousin? When did they get rich enough to buy such high-end services? It was all bothering me.

I wanted to ask Sandra but when I saw her changing and fixing herself and I also had to go aside and start choosing my dress.

After fixing ourselves, Sandra and I went out of the dress room. We saw uncle Lucio and his two sons, Nyx and Matt, wearing their formal tuxedos. From the hair to the leather shoes, they all look neat and new. They looked like a person of a high status in their appearance. My gut tells me it's all very expensive!

"Hirre, are you sure we are not wealthy? Why do Uncle and our cousins wearing this kind of clothes?" Harsha muttered. Yeah, I had to ask.

"Uncle...You know... Our pack is not rich and we need more assets to earn money. You need to be thrifty sometimes. We are not a billionaire." I spoke with a little bit of frown I purposely revealed on my face.

"You will be soon!"

However, instead of uncle, a voice of a man coming from the door suddenly sounded. I stopped talking and looked behind me. Uncle Lucio did not move and let the man show himself.
