A striking man in a black suit with a formidable aura entered the room. He looked at Blaze and greeted him warmly. "Good morning, Mr. Maxwell."
Blaze stood up from his seat and shook hands with the man. "Good morning, Mr. Roosevelt."
My muscles stiffened, ready to run, as I caught my breath in my throat when the man turned to me.
Because the man was none other than Evan!
Blaze introduced me to him as Evan took his seat opposite us. "By the way, this is my assistant, Ayira."
Knowing that Blaze was my only hope, I opened a part of my life to him. However, I didn't expect that he would want to meet my father so soon. We just started dating and were still getting to know each other. How could he demand like he would ask for my hand from my father? Well, I almost forgot that he was my mate. So how could I say no? I sighed. Then, I turned around, putting my arms on the wooden fences, facing again the beautiful scenery of the mountain range. "Of course you can meet him. But, but not now." I stammered, forcing a smile. Well, it's true that he could meet my dad, but it's not the
Cherry leisurely moved to the chair, but before she sat down, she turned to me. "Just stay there, okay? I might need your service." She whispered with a mocking smile on her lips. I just smiled faintly at her. Little did she know, I had something up my sleeve. I cleared my throat as I stepped to the side. Then Cherry gracefully took her seat, but before her butt could completely rest, I quickly pulled the chair away from her. Thud!!!
Blaze's POV I was left astounded when Ayira ran away from the restaurant. I called her, but she didn't look back at me. Perhaps she was hurt when I yelled at her. So after I helped Cherry get up from the floor and ensured that she was okay, I immediately followed Ayira. But she was so fast. When I came out of the restaurant, I couldn't see her anymore. Fortunately, I had strong senses. I followed her scent, and my senses pointed me in the direction of the mountain. It was only now that I felt grateful
Ayira's POV As I woke up the next morning, I was smiling sweetly. I hugged my pillow as I stared at the ceiling. Because I had sweet dreams last night. Blaze and I were in the middle of an enchanted forest, surrounded by lots of beautiful and colorful flowers. We were blissfully lying on the grass under the bright light coming from the snow-white moon above while gazing at the blanket of stars in the night sky. I felt exhilarated as I guessed my dream had a good meaning. I would look forward to it. My
Fifteen years ago, I recalled when my dad left our house together with our pack warriors. I was playing in the yard at that time. I rushed to him and clung to his arm. Then I looked up at him as I asked. "Dad, where are you going?" My dad crouched before me, holding my tiny hands. "Ayira, dad has to do something important. I'll leave you for a moment to your omega, alright?" He responded with a gentle smile on his lips. "Can I come with you, please?" I pleaded, making puppy eyes. After my mother died,
I was surprised when Evan quickly held my hand and pulled me upright. "You're being careless, Ayira." He muttered, but I could sense the concern in his tone. I gaped because his actions shocked me. He shouldn't be acting that way unless he wanted to disclose that we knew each other. Thinking of it, I tried to pull back my hand, but his grip was firm. Fortunately, Blaze rushed in and snatched my hand from Evan. Then he covered my bleeding finger with his hanky. "We
Blaze's POV My first meeting with Mr. Roosevelt left a question in my head, especially his remarks towards Ayira. There's this voice inside my head telling me that something wasn't right. And only a dumb person would not notice Ayira's reaction when she saw Mr. Roosevelt. Her pale face and cold hands were telling how anxious she was. Hence, to confirm my suspicion, I purposely set our next meeting in the villa. And I was right. Ayira got anxious again at Mr. Roosevelt’s presence. I further confirmed my suspicion when I left them alone to get the old blueprint from my room. But Ayira didn't admit to me what happened as to why she accidental
***I was gasping for air, running so fast in the middle of the woods, avoiding every tree, big or small, blocking me ahead. I didn't know why, but it seemed that someone was chasing me. I kept on running, even though I didn't know where I was heading to, why I was running and who was hunting me. Then a powerful voice said, 'You should stay alive, Blaze.' My heart raced! I ran even faster, afraid to be caught. However, he had overtaken me and blocked my way. But to my surprise, the one who's running after me was a... white wolf?***
