Semua Bab Hidden Mate: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Isaac unpacked his things at his new room, provided by the lord of Cadieux residence. Looking outside through the windowpane, he watched the scenery. It was the same heaven he admired but weirdly, it felt very different today. Isn't it because he's like an anxious cat who was suddenly brought into a new household? With a sigh, he fixed his eyes on the ground and remembered Lanceil’s last will before he died. [Please protect that kid] Isaac would not try to oppose his savior’s will. Yet, just like what Dwight said before, serving Maxine was against his wish. 'I wonder if I can wholeheartedly protect someone, even when my loyalty to Elder Lanceil is second to none,' such thoughts kept him awake. His butt fell on the soft bed, and as if his soul fell too, his body oddly felt so light. Mind was blank, he stared at nothing until his vision went hazy again. His throat was set on fire as his breathing seemed to swallow air. Warm liquid wetted his face as he remained moveless. 'Kno

[“The Alpha of Wayne wouldn’t get an Elder for Wayne. Elder Sebastian and Elder Jericho stayed in their positions.]“As expected.”[“Then, are you going to get the girl or reveal her identity? Lanceil is dead. This is the perfect time.”]“No. We need to wait more.”The old woman dropped the call as she folded her hands. Then, she looked at her wobbly reflection on the tea. Her skin was hanging loose and the top of her head had grey hairs.Despite being one of the powerful Mages, she could not escape from mortality. Unlike werewolves who have long life and long youth, she’s walking near her end. And she hates this. She hates the fact that she’s envious of the beasts that they wanted to eradicate at once.“But now that I found your daughter, I can finally fulfill my wish before dying,” she whispered.A sinister smile followed as her eyes looked at Maxine’s picture on the table.Who is this old woman? For Maxine’s mother, she is someone she had resented for a long time and the Mage respo

Maxine’s POVVincent took a sip on his mango shake; it was that shake ordered by the angry customer, but Vincent had bought it instead.I kept silent as I watched him across my seat. Somehow, he seems like he’s avoiding my eyes on purpose the minute he sits there."I heard that Chandler’s father died," he started and finally diverted his eyes to mine. "My last conversation with the old man wasn't good. I felt a bit guilty," he added.Isaac is sitting at the next table, exactly behind my back. 'I hope it's okay to talk about Mr. Lanceil with Vincent, while he is present.'"I am sending my deep condolence to Chandler and to that man behind you," Vincent said sincerely.I, who don't know how to react, have carefully opened my mouth. "Thank you.""Now that I'm done sending my condolences, let's get to the main topic." He took another sip on his shake. Next, he leaned his back on his chair and crossed his arms. "Who are you?""Huh?"His question consists of three simple words. But they are

Maxine’s POV I have two dream jobs. First, to become a reporter. But things didn’t go in my way so I decided to not pursuing that goal. Second, to own a coffee shop. Among those, I became the latter choice. It never came to me that I will handle a real coffee shop. But because of the incident when someone collapsed in front of me, I was convinced that I should study more about running a business. "If I only know that I will have a shop like this, I should choose the business management course,” I told to myself. True, it is pointless to regret anything by now. I placed the book down and left it open on page 3. Weirdly, even if I read these words written in these expensive papers five times, nothing sinks inside my head. It is not the interest that matters but also those assumptions I had a moment ago. "Someone was definitely staring at me. Who is it?" Knock knock. Faint knocks woke me from falling deep in my thoughts. I looked at the door while waiting for the voice I will h

Before Dwight could listen to the recording he set inside Maxine’s room, Adam caught him and almost ended his life. It left Dwight no choice but to erase his recording copy. However, since the Cadieux’s mansion is Dwight’s territory, he thought that Adam was too dumb to think that he has no ways to get some intel. Chandler, Maxine, Adam and Isaac went inside Dwight’s room. And the owner? Well, he was excluded and was kicked out from his own turf. Dwight admitted that Chandler was too smart because he chose the young lord’s room. If there are bugs and cameras everywhere, Chandler probably guessed that Dwight will put less of surveillance in his own place; which is the truth.Unlike the other places in Cadieux’s house, the young lord’s room has fewer cameras and bugs. ‘I really can't surpass his intelligence, geez,’ Dwight thought, admiring the Alpha of Wayne. He knew that sooner or later, Chandler would completely discard all of the bugs, and so, before Chandler could wipe them aw
