CHAPTER FIFTEEN
The place is big and very bright with impressive chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling. The walls are beige decorated with many paintings and variety of Christmas lights and garlands. There are round tables with chairs for guests and some lounge tables as well which are all decorated with subtle hints of baby pink poinsettias. Businessmen and their dates dressed in black are already lounging and talking, their chatter mixing with the pleasant music playing, and all in all, the place is decorated in things that screams both expensive and Christmas-y. Klyde would have appreciated it at least if he’s not still distracted by what Wade pulled before they entered.
His face feels hot, and he’s much too aware of his heart beating too fast for his own liking in his chest. He inhaled a deep breath, calming himself. Ah, yes. Something that Klyde always appreciated in this kind of parties though, is the presence of air neutralizer. With such big events,

Andrew Racan is a man who seem to never run out of flowery words for his guests. It has been almost ten minutes since he introduced himself to his guests and he’s still speaking in front. Klyde can’t even keep track of the things he’s talking about anymore, he lost track of it in the first five minutes. Beside him, the two alphas also look bored. Although Wade looked like he’s at least putting in an effort to look like he’s listening, Kez, on the other hand, is just slumped on his seat again. Klyde wants to laugh at him. The guests suddenly clapped, catching the attention of the guests who, like them, had been chattering amongst their selves instead of listening. “I had been talking for a while, I would not want to hold you off any longer,” Andrew Racan said in the microphone.“Food will be served in a minute. Thank you so much for coming everyone. Help yourself with anything. And please, enjoy the party.

The three of them ate, occasionally talking but mostly focused on eating. The two alphas talked about work and other things the pack is up to. Apparently, Kez received a message from Aien earlier saying that he was now on their hometown. Ruan is staying overseas with her family, while Tristan and Shane went on their own trip overseas too. “I’m surprised Tristan actually managed to drag Shane overseas,” Wade commented as he dabbed his mouth clean with the napkin. Klyde chewed slowly as he listened to their conversation. “Yeah, she did not really have that much of a choice. Tristan has been bugging her about the trip for months,” Kez replied.“Plus we all know she can’t really say no to her omega.” Klyde thinks that is so sweet of the alpha. He eventually pushed his empty plate away, picking up his wine glass to drink the rest of it

To say that Klyde threaded through the holidays peacefully would be a lie. A huge one at that. Because he didn’t. The memory of their kiss on the Christmas eve is still haunting him, and every time he closes his eyes, it’s as if he can still feel the alpha’s lips on him. And Klyde feels very frustrated because of it. Even now, as if on cue, the memories of that night flooded his mind again. They both walk back to the party, Klyde walking ahead of the alpha. His lips are still tingling both from the cold and the kiss, and he still feels quite breathless because of it. He bit his bottom lip to stop himself from replaying the scene in his head, but it only made him remember the kiss more. He casted a brief glance to the alpha walking behind him. He hates how Wade looks relaxed and unbothered, while he is nearly freaking out. When they entered the venue again, he released a breath in an attempt to calm himself.

The sound of the door opening must have caught the alpha’s attention, because as soon as it opened and Klyde stepped into the room, the alpha was already facing him from where he was standing in front of the glass wall behind Klyde’s table. “Wade,” he greeted, forcing himself to sound casual. The alpha’s eyes raked over his form, left brow rising. “I thought I was babe?” Fuck him, actually. Klyde gave him a forced smile. “What are you doing here?” “Can I not visit my husband?” the alpha asked, head slightly tilted to the right. Klyde sighed and stepped further in the room. He walked to his table, standing a safe distance away from it. The alpha just watched him. “What are you doing here?” he said, repeating his question.

“No,” Klyde said firmly, putting down the spoon he was holding not so gently beside his plate. He’s scowling, he’s aware. But he can’t help it when he just heard an absolute nonsense form the alpha in front of him. Of course. “What do you mean ‘no’?” Wade asked, much too calm for Klyde’s liking. He’s almost simmering with rage, and the alpha is acting like what he said was nothing. Wade even lightly dabbed his mouth clean with a napkin. “No as in no, Wade.” “I don’t follow.” “Of course. You’re an alpha. Since when did your kind understand ‘no’ as an answer?” What he said was probably too much, judging the way the alpha’s eyes squinted at him and his posture suddenly became too stiff. But Klyde, at the moment, was blinded by his own anger to even acknowledge his wrong.

Klyde sagged on the seat of his car, the back of his head bumping at the headrest, hands resting on the steering wheel as he gently killed the engine. He heaved a heavy sigh. He feels so tired, even more so than usual. The events of today left him with whirlwind of emotions, and now he just feels really, extremely exhausted. Fatigue is creeping into his bone, seeping into his mind leaving it buzzing like an empty television screen. Eventually, when he found the small strength to move his body, he stepped out of his car. The soft sound of its closing door left an empty feeling on him. It’s as if he’s floating as he trudged his way to the elevator. His footsteps are heavy, much like his heart at the moment. Now, don’t get him wrong. Betrayal isn’t a foreign concept to him. It’s a friend he’s all too familiar with. With all the things he went through to establish his company, betrayal has been something he is q
Say I Do CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Klyde woke up early the next day. He basically passed out after his dinner last night so it’s a wonder, even to him, how early he woke up today, given that he was bone tired.His body still felt heavy, his moves sluggish, but no matter how much he still wants to lay in his bed and maybe come to work later than usual, he can’t bring himself to sleep as his mind is already running from his thoughts again. Instead of drowning in them, he figured he should just get up and cook breakfast. Maybe he’ll have a proper meal of breakfast for once. So, that’s what he did.He walked down the quiet apartment and made his way to the kitchen after freshening up, not even bothering to change out of his sleeping clothes. He got some bread he got from the grocery a while ago, it’s surprisingly still unopened. Actually, cut the surprisingly, he doesn’t really cook nor eat in the apartment that much
Say I Do CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
And just like that, a routine has been made. Now, Klyde wakes up extra early to prepare breakfast for two. Although Wade told him it was unnecessary, he felt it in himself that he really wanted to do it. So, he continued. He began his search of simple breakfasts he could make quickly. The grocery stocks they have actually started decreasing, and it brought a semblance of normalcy to him. He somehow misses his old apartment because of it, not that he cooks there but he had many instant foods on his pantry too. But he’s glad he’s somehow settling here okay. The sound of Wade’s footsteps as he climbs down the stairs has become a usual sound to him that he doesn’t even flinch nor get bothered by it anymore. After over a week of this set-up, it has slowly become his norm and honestly, that thought is terrifying. “Eggs again?” Wade asked in a teasing voice as he pulled out a stool to sit by the counter. As usual, he has his phone with him. Klyde hummed in answer, not taking his eyes off of
