His Fifth Mate 57
Chapter 57Charity POV"You should come back early, Charity. You know I'm the only one at home," Sophia says to me for the fourth time, and I roll my eyes."You've said that like a million times already. Are you never going to stop?" I roll my eyes at her, and she sighs briefly."Fine, I will come back early, I promise," I say to her before I finally leave the house. Guess what? I'm having a date with Mr. Axel tonight, and I'm so excited. I know this is crazy, but I'm really looking forward to him asking me out to be his girlfriend. I won't think twice before accepting him, because why not? I have a crush on him, he is my kind of man, so why won't I accept him?As I stand at the side of the road, waiting for him to come and pick me up, since he already said he was coming to pick me up instead of taking a cab, I take my phone and send Mr. Miguel a message so he can come over and watch over Clarissa since he said I should never allow her to be by herself.'Thank you so much for this' Hi
His Fifth Mate 58
Chapter 58Clarissa POVI feel uneasy staying at home all alone, and I wish I'm still on good terms with Miguel. I would've called him to come to stay with me, or go over to his house rather, but I can't even do that now, and I'm freaking scared.I know being in the room for hours will eventually bore me out, but there is nothing I can do especially with this fear that is consuming me. I can't risk it going out of the room for fear of running into those creatures again.How did my life become this messy? What exactly do they want from me? Those are the questions I've been asking myself for days now and I haven't been able to come up with any reasonable answer. That is what I should've asked Miguel that day. Maybe he would know what happened and why they are after me, but I was so blinded by my emotions that I didn't even bother to ask him about it, but you don't blame me for being like that, right? I'm sure a lot of people would react that way if not worse if they ever find themselves
His Fifth Mate 59
Chapter 59Clarissa POV"That was harsh, Clarissa. Alex is just a friend that was trying to help keep me company. Why would you act like that to him?" Charity asks as we take a walk home minutes after we left the restaurant, and I can't help the scoff that tears through my throat."Friend? I know him first before you, and I hope you know that, right? You should stop trying to be friends with everyone I'm friends with. It doesn't make any sense," I snap at her angrily before I walk ahead of her."Are you being serious right now? We always share the same enemy, so why can't we share the same friend?" She scoffs as she rushes to catch up with me. If only she knows what I'm trying to avoid, if only she knows the true color of that bastard, she won't ever want to go anywhere close to him."That's ridiculous, Charity. You can't be friends with someone because I'm friends with the person. It's ok to share the same enemy as me, but when it comes to friends, it's not ideal," I say to her again
His Fifth Mate 60
Chapter 60Clarissa POV "Come on, you should call him already," Charity says for the fifth time since we got home. She is sitting on the edge of the bed after she had her bath, and I just came out of the bathroom too."I told you I will do that when I'm about to sleep," I reply to her as I take the hand drier and set to dry my hair."Come on, just do that now. I will help you dry your hair when you are done. Do you want me to massage your back for you? Where is it hurting? Is it here? Here? Or here?" She asks as she touches my shoulders, and I shake my head."Fine, just get away from me. I will call him now," I push her off lightly, and she smiles."Alright. I will help you get your phone," She utters before she walks over to the bed and picks up the phone."Here, sweetheart," She grins from ear to ear as she hands me the phone, and I roll my eyes as I snatch it from her."Do you really think it's a good idea to call him this time? It's past 11pm, you know? I can leave it till tomorr
His Fifth Mate 61
Chapter 61Axel POVI watch as Miguel smiles excitedly, and even though I've not asked him what's with the expression yet, I know it has to do with his mate. Are they going to settle things? Are they getting back together? Well, I have no answer to those questions.I got a call earlier while at the restaurant that my sister got involved in a fight with someone at a friend's party, and I had to rush down there to check on her. Yes, I have a little sister, although we don't live together. Jessica is my twenty years little sister who left the Pack and decided to live on her own after she turned eighteen. We only got to see each other once in a blue moon, and guess what! She's a writer. I can count how many times we've seen each for the past two years since she left the Pack. She's always busy, and the same with me. I have no idea what caused the fight between her and the girl, but from what a source heard they were fighting over a man. Over a fucking bastard!"What's with that smile?" I
His Fifth Mate 62
Chapter 62Clarissa POVI woke up quite early today and decided to bathe, since Charity has taken care of the chores as usual. I can't hide the fact that I'm excited about meeting Miguel today, but then, it still doesn't change the fact that he is not a human."You are only going there because Charity insisted," I remind myself as I look at my reflection in the mirror. I'm currently alone in the room, sinks Charity is preparing breakfast in the kitchen. I told her I wasn't hungry, but insisted that I eat before I leave the house. After I'm done getting dressed, I finally leave the room and head to the kitchen, but luckily, she is already in the dining room, dishing out the food."Perfect timing. Come here, come and have a seat. You will love the food I made," She smiles at me as she pulls out the chair for me to sit on, and I roll my eyes."What's with that now? Is there something you are not telling me?" I pull a puzzled look, but she shakes her head before she goes to stand behind m

Chapter 63Clarissa POV "You're here?" I bet he is excited, but wait! Don't tell me he was going to hug me. That's crazy."Hmm. Let's talk," I utter rudely as I head toward his office, and sit on the visitor's chair once I walk inside. I can't deny that I've really missed this place. It has just been a few days since I was last here, and I've missed it so much. What if I decided to quit? I don't think I will be able to hang on. I may lose my mind."Now, that's too pretty to be true," My subconscious mind reminds me, and I roll my eyes. My heart skips when I hear his thick footsteps in the office, but I try to remain calm."Babe...""Don't call me that," I cut him off, avoiding his eyes, and I hear him sigh."Fine! I'm sorry," He utters in a low tone that I can barely hear him. I watch as he walks over to his seat and sits on the chair."Uhm... Have you eaten before coming here? Do you want me to get you something to eat?" He asks as she clasps his fingers together, and I scoff."I'm

Chapter 64Clarissa POV It's almost closing time, and I can't just wait to get the hell out of here, because it feels so awkward. For some reason, I find myself regretting telling him that. I know it's crazy, but I still fucking love him. Maybe I shouldn't have told him to stay miles away from me, and he is not even talking to me since morning. "Wow! Such a petty jerk!" I curse under my breath after I glance at his office and he is already getting ready to leave his office. Don't tell me he is leaving before closing time. I quickly turn my gaze away when I spot him coming out of his office."Uhm... We have an urgent meeting to attend now. You should come with me," He utters once he walks into my office, and I almost scoff, but recalling that we are officially having a boss-employee relationship, I decided to sulk it in and respect him as my boss."Yes, Sir," I reply to him and switch the desktop off before I stand up to my feet."Sir, do I need to take anything with me?" I raise my
