His Fifth Mate 20
Chapter 20Clarissa POVMy day at the office was well spent, and it's finally time to go home. "Do you mind if I drop you off?" I raise my gaze to find him standing inside my office and staring at me with a questioning expression on his face."No, don't worry. I will just take a cab home," I quickly turn down his offer, and he slowly nods his head as he stares at me for seconds."Alright. See you tomorrow then," He utters before he strides out of the office, not sparing me another glance. I just feel like going home by myself today. It has been a while since I last went home alone, and I think I want to give it a try today.I finally round up for the day and leave the office to go home. Strolling on the road and getting fresh air is so much fun, and I reached the bus stop before I know it.As I wait at the bus stop for the bus to arrive, many thoughts flood my mind, which includes Carl. I can't deny that I missed him so much over the years, but Miguel is slowly replacing him and taki

Chapter 21Clarissa POV"Why didn't you tell me Carl is here?" I ask Charity once we are inside the room together, but she only shrugs after she glances at me as if I just asked a stupid question."Because he asked me not to...""And you think it was right not to tell me? What if Miguel and I had come home together? How do you think he would feel?" I yell at her angrily, and she shrugs."He won't feel anything. Carl is your ex-boyfriend and not your current boyfriend. You could've just introduced them to each other, and made it known to Carl that you have a man already. Well, not that he mentioned he wanted you back anyway," She utters sarcastically, and I sigh briefly. "Ugh! Why the hell am I even talking to you?" I groan angrily as I stand up and dash into the bathroom, slamming the door hard behind me. I don't know why I'm so angry, I don't know if it's because Carl was here, or the fact that my crazy friend didn't inform me about it. Why the hell was he even here? What did he wan

Chapter 22Alpha Miguel Silence assumes the atmosphere as I drive us to work later. I glance at her occasionally, and each time, the glance would always comes with a scoff. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm pissed for no good reason. Seeing the way the young man was looking at her earlier, made my heart sting painfully. How dare he stare at our mate like that? Was he seeking death?"Do you want to talk about anything?" I ask her after I glance at her, but she shakes her head instead as she stares out of the window, and I sigh briefly. I don't need anyone to tell me that she must be thinking of that human. Does she still love him? Is she thinking of leaving me and going back to him now that he's back? I'm scared, extremely scared to the bone. Afraid of keeping her by my side, but more terrified of losing her. I'm in the middle of the ocean and I don't know if I should save myself, or drown in this darkness."Carl... When did he come back?" It's irritating me as I call his name, but I can

Chapter 23Clarissa POVBefore lunchtime, my phone rang and when I answered it, I realized that it was Carl, and he told me he was in our company's premises. I mean, why the heck was he here? I left my office a few minutes before lunchtime, and I saw him parked outside our gate once I stepped out."What are you doing here, Carl?" I asked him earlier once I got to where he was standing."Uhm... I came to see you," He had replied to me, and I felt like crying. Miguel will be so pissed if he finds him here."Can we talk later when I get home from the office? This is my workplace, and you can't just show up here like that. It's not right," I tried to convince him so he would go back, but he didn't seem like he would listen to me, since he insisted that we have lunch together so we could talk over there."What is going on here?" The voice I've been scared of hearing finally speaks up behind me, and I freeze on the spot. Shit! I thought he won't leave his office since he never does, so what

Chapter 24Carl POVThe last three years without her in my life have made me feel so empty that I always wished I could turn back the hands of time. I know I don't deserve to show my face to her after everything that transpired between us in the past. I should've fought for her and made sure I kept her by my side, I shouldn't have ever left her, but I was scared she'd get hurt around me.When I saw her yesterday, I knew that I was still in love with her. I can never let her go, no matter how much I try to."How have you been?" I know I have no right to ask her that, but I still did, anyway. I just want to get rid of the silence that assumed the atmosphere."I'm good," She replies to me casually, and I nod my head briefly. I have so many things to say to her, but I'm a bit scared she would get mad at me. Silence creeps in afterward since I don't even know what to say to her again."Why did you come back?" She suddenly asks out of the blue, and I glance at her before I pull over at the

Chapter 25Alpha Miguel POVI walk briskly down the verandah, heading to the hall where the chiefs must be waiting for me now. I have no idea what happened back here, but the call I got from Axel was kinda not clear and filled with worries, which had me rushing down here."What happened?" I ask as I barge into the hall, and as expected, Axel and the chiefs were already waiting for me."There is a problem, Alpha," Axel utters as he stands up to his feet and walks over to me, and I gulp down nothing."What's the problem?" I ask him, a bit worried."Our spy in Blood Moon Pack conveyed a piece of information to us today, and he mentioned something we don't understand. He said that you were cursed to be lonely for the rest of your life, and that was why you've lost your recent mates," He explains, and my heart freezes in my chest. For seconds, I stare into space as I feel my heart hammer against my chest. How the heck did they know about it?"The problem now is that they are planning to lu

Chapter 26Carl POVThe drive back to my house didn't take much time, and as I park at the garage minutes later, I spot Emily standing in front of the house and waiting for me. She scurries over to me as soon as I hop out of the car, and I groan silently."You're here, baby? I have missed you so much," She whines as she throws herself in my arms, hugging me tightly as if I've been away for so long, and she has really missed me."It's late. Why are you still up?" I ask as I pull her away from her gently, and she scoffs as she rolls her eyes."How was I supposed to sleep knowing my baby wasn't home yet? Come on, I made your favorite. Why don't you come inside, and...""I don't think I will have dinner tonight. I'm exhausted, and need to get some rest now," I cut her off, and she creases her eyebrows as she stares at me suspiciously."Are you ok? You look sad. Did anything happen while you were away? Come on, tell me what happened?" She urges me as she holds my hands, but I gently retrac

Chapter 27Clarissa POVThe last few days have been filled with Miguel acting strange and avoiding me, which had me questioning myself if I did something wrong to him. I have tried to reach him even on his phone, but nothing ever worked out, since he kept ignoring my calls, and my messages too. He has also been absent from the office lately, and he would always ignore me whenever he came to the office, which has been driving me nuts."Are you ok?" Charity asks as she walks past me and slumps on the bed. It's a beautiful Tuesday morning, and while I am getting dressed, she was busy with the house chores and all that."Yes, I'm fine," I slowly nod my head since I have made up my mind not to ever talk about this with her since it has to do with my relationship. I should try to solve it first before I involve her."Do you prefer I pack your breakfast, or will you eat at home before you leave?" She inquires, and I shake my head."Neither. I'm late for work, and I need to get there as soon
