XAVIAWhen the Beta came to tell me about the change in my place of work, I was happy. Happy to leave the garden and work in a different place. But I had never thought that I would be working directly with the Alpha and will have to see his bitter side. At first, it was not easy working with him because I kept getting into trouble and got punished for that, but soon got used to it.I was also looking forward to going into the Alpha's room. Though he treated me with disdain, there were beautiful things to look at in his room. One of my favorites was his childhood pictures. The Alpha looked cute and calm when he was young and that got me wondering what changed.Every time I went into his room, I stare at his pictures without him noticing, with fear that he might punish me if he catches me staring. There were also some beautiful sculptures in his room too and I loved to stare at them. There was a time he caught me touching one of them and I got punished for it. I was locked up for seven
I waited impatiently for the next voice."Hello" I heard and my heart skipped a bit.Could this be the Lycan Alpha's voice? I wondered.I have never heard him speak before. He has always spoken through Jason. "Xavia, is that you?""Ye-yes" I muttered. "I-is this the Lycan King?"There was an outburst of laughter and that got me wondering what was going on."I can't believe I got you. It's Jason""Ja-Jason?""Yes. Have you forgotten that the Alpha doesn't speak to anyone?" he said and I sighed. I should have remembered that."I must have forgotten""I spoke to the Alpha and he asked that I give you a slot for the company""I got a slot for the company?" I asked happily."Put the phone on a loudspeaker" Beta Arden whispered.I placed it on a loudspeaker quickly. "You said I got a slot""Yes. He also said that they can get a five percent slot. For the company, they can build it themselves but if they can't, we will build the company and they will sign an agreement on when to pay back"
KATEWhen Arden showed up at my doorstep with Gilbert, I wondered why they came. They were the least people I was expecting to see. After the day Gilbert, accused me of drugging him and I had stomped out of his room, I have been avoiding him as much as I could. Though he came to me some minutes later to tell me he was sorry for accusing me wrongly, I did not accept his apology because it wasn't genuine. I also did not show up at his birthday party by pretending to be sick when there was nothing wrong with me. I wanted him to feel remorse for what he did and apologize properly but he never did. I also stopped joining them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Neither Gilbert nor Arden asked why I made that decision."What are you both doing here?" I asked. "Did you miss your way or something?" I asked and Arden chuckled."Kate, you know we are here to see you. Why are you...""See me? I think you missed your way""We did not miss our way. We are here to see you, Kate. And I am sure you kno
Gilbert groaned slightly but said nothing, while he kept staring at Xavia and Arden."Really?" I asked. "You would rather keep staring at her than speak to me! Fine! I am leaving. I should not have been here in the first place!"As I stormed out of the garden, I had hoped that Gilbert would call me back or maybe run after me but he did not. That got me angrier. Instead of heading to my room, I went straight to meet his mom. I was lucky to meet her in her room, though she was already dressed up to go out. I stared at her sadly."Are you on your way out, Mom?"She nodded. "I am on my way to the Fire Pack. You know they moved to a different place. I am going to see the Alpha's mom. She is my friend. She came to your wedding. Do you remember?"I nodded, though I could not remember who she had introduced to me as the Fire Pack Alpha's mother. She had introduced me to so many people that day that I could hardly remember who was who."She's been asking after you. Are you going to come with m
GILBERTWhen my mom sent someone to me, I knew Kate must have reported the incident to her. I left my room and headed to her place, not after I sent for Arden too. Since he was there when everything happened, he should be able to defend me."Ask him to meet me in the hallway to the meeting hall," I told the guard I sent.Arden did not turn up early as I had expected so I had to wait for him."Why would you ask me to join you?" he asked when he met me in the hallway. "Is there a...""So you can speak to my mother" I replied.He furrowed his brows. "We are going to your mom's place?""Where do you think we are going?""You asked me to meet you in the hallway to the meeting hall. What do you expect me to think?"I scoffed. "Are we supposed to have any meeting today?""No, and that is why I was surprised when you sent for me""Why would you think it's a meeting when we are not supposed to have one""I thought it could be an emergency meeting""For what if I may ask? Is there any issue tha
"She did what?" I asked."She admitted that she loves you but she has never tried to seduce you before"I blinked. Did she say all that to Kate? "She said that?""Yes, Alpha" they answered in unison and I furrowed my brows.Could that be the reason my mom asked me what is going on between me and her? Did Kate tell my mom about Xavia's confession?"There is also a rumor going on that you like her too"I blinked. "Me?""Yes, Alpha. Which is the reason you have always allowed only her to serve your breakfast"I scoffed. Me? Love her? Why would I love someone who I never wanted as my mate?The one that I made a slave to avoid accepting her. I only made her serve my breakfast because I wanted to watch her suffer. I have never had a bit of feelings for her, though she is my mate.I sighed. "If I find out that everything you both told me is a lie, I won't spare you. Neither will I spare any of your family members too. Do you understand?""Yes, Alpha" they answered."And Kate or anyone must
KATEAfter locking Xavia up in the cold cell, I became worried. Worried that she might not survive in the cell as a human. I had to send some coats, boots, gloves, and blankets to her. But even with that, I was still worried about her, but I could not bring myself to set her free. I also did not accept to set her free when Gilbert and Arden came to meet me to forgive her.After her first night in the cell, I became extremely worried and could not sleep throughout the night. I could not wait for the next morning before I visited Gilbert's mom."I am worried," I told her."Worried about what?" she asked."Worried about Xavia""Why are you worried about her?""I don't know. I could not sleep"She sighed. "You should set her free, Kate. I know she shouldn't have fallen in love with the Alpha, but the innocent girl could not help it. Maybe that's because she spent more time with him than she spent with others""But what if Gilbert falls in love with her too?""He can't""Because she is a s
I watched Gilbert leave and I sighed. I was angry with him for acting rashly which has caused a lot of trouble for us. I left the training ground and went after Arden. I had expected him to take her to her room but instead, he took her to his. A lady ran out. "How is she?" she asked.I wondered who she was but when I got a clearer view of her face, I blinked."Isabella?" I cooed and she stared at me."Oh, mine. Kate. How are you? It's been a while" she said moving closer to me. "How long has it been? Six years?" she asked as we hugged."You look beautiful, Bella," I said."You aren't bad, yourself," she said with a smile."I did not know you were here. I would have visited you"She sighed. "You must be busy with the Pack affairs. I know how tiring it is to be the Luna. I am sorry I couldn't make it to your wedding""You don't have to be sorry. Arden told me about your busy schedule"I nodded and she smiled. "You should come in" she muttered.I followed her in. A doctor was already at
