Semua Bab Fated To The Second Alpha Heir : Bab 21 - Bab 30

SCARLETT I couldn’t believe I had my own maid and a new phone, and beautiful stuff I could only dream of. And it wasn’t just that. The fact that they had accepted me, without hesitation into their midst and offered not just shelter, but love, care and protection was quite humbling.I studied my expression in the mirror hanging on the wall of my bathroom. My once sad eyes now held hope and happiness. They were no longer as dull and dreary. My sunken face now rosy and full, and it was just a matter of day. A week to be precise and all was well with me. The mini sage green jumpsuit with a flattering neckline looked good on me, coupled with the pair of white converse adorning my feet. My long raven hair was held in a rubber band, few curls framing my face. I wore a light make up — powder blush, cherry gum lipgloss and little mascara just to make my lashes fuller.I beamed approvingly at my reflection and walked out of the bathroom. It was time for school. My maid met me by the door

BARON“Alpha.”“Alpha Prince.”“Your Majesties.”“Welcome, Highnesses.”Greetings followed my father and I the moment we stepped down from the convoy, walking into one of his large companies.Throughout the region and even the pack state, Salvatore was a name well known and deeply respected. No one dared to mess with anyone from the Salvatore family. Staff immediately rallied round us, asking what we needed, but I waved them away. We entered the elevator meant for Salvatores alone. “It’s been awhile, dad.” I said, glancing at him. He nodded, agreeing. “Yes. The last time you and Aaron visited was before…” He trailed off. I knew what he wanted to say. I cleared my throat. “I have a new mate now, dad. Let’s not go into the past.”“And you love her.” It was more of a statement than a question but I felt the need to reply nonetheless. “Of course, I love her. That’s how mate bonds work.”“Do you love her for her or because the mate bond requires it from you?” He threw back at me wis

SCARLETT “Good evening, Alpha.” I bowed as soon as the man I’d been hoping to see walked in with bags of what I guess were gifts. “Good evening, Scarlett. Also, I thought I told you to get rid of the Alpha. You can just call me David or what the others call me.” He was insinuating I called him dad. I wasn’t sure I was ready for that yet, even though he’d adopted me and have been so nice to me. “David is fine, please. I insist.” He came closer to pat my shoulder as a father would his child.I nodded. “Alright, David.” It was hard to because it felt quite disrespectful, but I new it was me overthinking things.“You’ll get used to it.” He smiled, totally understanding. “And you’re here waiting for me?” He asked, crooking a brow up.From the tiny twinkle in his eyes, I could guess he probably knew why. Still, I replied. “Yes, sir. I haven’t seen him. He didn’t come to pick me up from school and just when I thought you’d return from work with him, you came alone.”With a look that was

SCARLETT It’s been two days. Two days since Baron was missing in his own home. Ever since that night I’d stopped him from entering my room, we haven’t spoken much to each other, except for the next morning where I’d stubbornly refused to let him drive me to school.I missed him terribly, I would be honest with myself. Ailya did too. But I was also still upset over the fact that he was holding back from committing to me. To our bond. To our relationship. And the love we said we had for each other. Well, I guess none of those mattered to him, I thought with a painful jolt to my heart. The Salvatores stayed with me when I needed it, and left me alone when I also needed it. Right now, I needed their company. So we were in the private family living room, watching TV and having late night snacks while talking about anything that came to mind. No one even bothered about him being missing at home possibly because they were used to his frequent absence.Suddenly, a memory came to mind, a

SCARLETT “Baby, please, open up. I’m sorry.” It was past midnight and he was still at my door, banging loudly and begging to be let in.I’d cried to the point where I was exhausted. My eyes were red and puffy, they were hot too. My head throbbed badly, I felt a bit feverish. I was currently lying under a thick duvet. My nose was a bit congested. I wanted to call Katherine…no, it was too late. Moreover, I’d dropped my phone in his room. Breathing was a becoming a little difficult, so I had my pump close to me, just in case I needed it. Trisha. That was her name.The name of the girl he couldn’t forget.I could understand what it felt like to lose one’s mate. I didn’t know what I’d do if anything fatal should happen to Baron, regardless of his attitude, the mate bond was that strong. But did it mean I wasn’t enough? And that when he’d said second chance mate, I was just replacement for the real girl he wanted? Loving me because of the mate bond was unfair. It meant that without
