We both remained silent until the food arrived.
"Have you tried it in here?" I asked."Not yet," Reule said plainly."So, how do you know it will be good?""I don't really care. I just don't want Lila to follow. Now, eat."I tried the pepperoni, and it was not bad. I was surprised as to why it did not have any customers."It tastes good, right?" I asked."No," Reule replied with a cold voice."It was not good, but he ate a lot.""I am hungry, and there is no choice. Hurry up, finish your food. We are not done yet. We still need to buy something.""What else you wanted to buy?""Just eat and stop talking."I rolled up my eyes and finished my food. After Reule made the payment, he stood, and I followed him. He went inside an Apple Store and bought two iPhones and a sim card. But I did not bother asking to whom he would give it.It was almost evening when we arrived at Reule's house. While we were heading to the main doo"My number, Adriana's and Nana's number are already saved there. We have yours, too," Reule said."Why are you giving me this?" I asked."So you and I can contact each other.""But Conri will take me one day, so why the need for this?""You can have it. Even if Conri appears on my doorstep one of these days, you can still keep it. Use it to communicate to any of us.""Okay, thank you!""Come down now. I just received a message from Adriana that the food is ready. By the way, you can check later; I have saved something there that you might like.""What?""It's for you to find out later."We reached the dining room, and I saw Adriana looking so beautiful tonight. She had curled her hair, applied a little makeup, and wore a spaghetti strap, floral dress."Adriana, you look so beautiful, and congratulations. I did not know that you write," I said."Thank you, senorita, Wren. I write for fun, I did not even want to join the contest,
Everyone went back to their respective houses. No one can say no to Reule not even Lila. Lila tried talking to Reule, but he only ignored her. She left so annoyed that it made me feel that she would make me go through hell starting tomorrow."That's what happens when children grow up without parents. They become aggressive and rebellious," Nana Lolita suddenly said."Lila doesn't have parents anymore?" I whispered to Adriana."Yes, they are both dead. Lila's mother died, giving birth to her and her twin brother. His father got killed by a werewolf from another pack," Adriana whispered back."Lila has a twin?""Yes, his name is Landon.""But I don't think I have seen him here?""Landon is the beta of the pack. He left for a business trip before you came. He is the only one Reule trusts when managing the international branch of Reule's business. But he will be back next week.""I see. I wonder how he is.""Opposite of her." "Really?"
"Did you find her?" Conri asked."Sorry, Conri. I haven't found her yet," Casper replied without looking at Conri."What have you been doing, Casper? A she-wolf who can only partly transform, and you cannot find her!""Conri, as I said, there was a wolf who saved her. And I think he took her with him. But I have not seen his face. He was strong and fast.""But they were only two! And there are how many are you looking for her!""I am really sorry, Conri. But I have not stopped searching for her.""Make sure that you would find her, Casper. I need her as soon as possible.""Conri..""Alpha Conri!""Sorry, Alpha. But if I may ask, why do you need Wren that much? You already killed Killian. She is not your mate. And if you need a mistress, I can go and find another one for you.""I need her. Only her!""For what?""I have to give her to the Black Pack.""The Black Pack? Why?""Stop asking so many questions, Casper! Instead, go and look for her!
The ringing of my phone awakened me. It's just 09:00 AM, and Reule is already calling me. I ignored his call. But I couldn't go back to sleep, so I sat and noticed I had four messages."Morning, habibi! Come down for breakfast.""Are you still sleeping, habibi?""Sleeping beauty, come down here! Nana Lolita, Adriana, and Landon will be joining us for breakfast.""Get your tiny ass in here!"Reule's last message is already screaming, but I don't care. It's the name Landon that caught my attention, Lila's twin. I thought he would be arriving next week. He came back early.I rushed to the toilet. I didn't want to miss breakfast, not because I was afraid of Reule. But I am curious about Landon. I wanted to know how different is he from his twin.When I arrived at the dining room, Reule was looking at me sharply. He was about to say something but Nana Lolita, Adriana, and a tall blonde guy like a handsome angel appeared."Good morning, senorita Wren! It's good of
Reule immediately told Landon that he would like to speak to him in private right after breakfast. He looked sharply at him as soon as Landon entered his study room. "What the fuck, Reule? What did I do to you?" Landon frowned."Why do you have to flirt with Wren like that?" Reule asked."Why are you mad about it?""Because I did not like it!" "Don't raise your voice at me if you don't want the people in this house to come running and barge in here.""I mean it when I said that she is off-limits. Flirt with another she-wolf except her.""Now I understood why Lila doesn't like her. What's with this girl? Is she your mate?""She is. But..""But what?""She seemed to doesn't feel that I am her mate.""What do you mean? How is that possible?""I mean, she doesn't feel all the signs of finding a mate. When I touched her the day I saved her, I immediately felt that tingling sensation and knew right away that she was my mate. Bu
"Reule seemed to trust Landon when it comes to business," I commented."Yes! Landon likes doing business, even Reule, too. But Reule hates being stuck in an office and working like regular employees who have a 9 to 5 job. So, Landon is one of those who helped him manage his business," Adriana said."So, Reule doesn't know anything about his business?""Oh, no! Reule just hates to be around a lot of people and to be stuck in one place. He wants to control his time and where he wants to be. That's why you see him here most of the time. He works here remotely. But he knows almost everything that is going on in his business. No one can fool him. He is intelligent, and he studies diligently.""He is into hotels, and what else?""My god! He has a lot. Reule is a risk-taker and opens a business that he thinks he will make big. He owns a share in an airline company where he is planning to open his own. He has a winery and vineyard, courier service, a yacht rental, s
"Alpha Conri, Alpha Conri," cried Edison, one of the warriors of the White Pack.Conri, who was sitting, reading a paper and about to have breakfast got irritated. "What is it?" Conri yelled."The beta of the Black Pack is here with ten warriors. Shall I let them in?"Conri's eyes widened, and his right hand started to shake. He did not expect Acwulf to pay him a surprise visit. It's not even a month since they had an agreement."Let them in."Acwulf Nube, a tall man who looked like a Roman gladiator because of his toned and muscular body, entered the kitchen together with his warriors oozing with confidence. His dark brown eyes became darker when he saw Conri, who stood from his seat. It was enough for Conri to tremble inside in fear. The sight of Conri's surprised face made Acwulf's lips curve into a smirked."Acwulf, my friend! What a pleasant surprise!" Conri said with a smile."Conri! I am glad my goal of surprising you were a success," Acwulf replied.
When Adriana left, I decided to go out of the house. I was feeling a pang of pain in my chest remembering the people I lost, I needed some air. I walked to the forest, and when I went inside, I saw a big rock. I smiled and sat there. "Killian," I whispered. Back in our pack territory, we used to talk on the rocky part, just a few meters outside our house. We are close in that we share secrets and gossips. My brother is said to be one of the weakest male wolves in our pack. He did not have many friends; that's why he was close to me. Our life has constantly been ridiculed because we are deemed different from others. Male wolves must be strong and not easily scared, but my brother was the opposite. The day we went running, and he was fighting the other pack members, I was proud. It was the first time Killian had proved to the others that he was not a loser. He can be strong, too. I got teary-eyed remembering my loving brother risking his life for me.
