(Hirre's POV).
As everyone cheered I kept sorting out the information I had just heard. It finally dawned on me.
This old man was actually the father of my mother , my grandfather.
I never expected that my mother's last name was Vermont, a family known for being famous and one of the richest families in the world.
" It's no wonder we find this smell familiar, it turns out to be the smell of mom..." Harsha said sentimentally.
Well, my mother has been passed away for a long time, and I had always thought that she had completely disappeared. But now, I seem to smell my mom's scent again from this old man.
Mr Alcheron Vermont's mate died early of illness and he only had one child, my mom, who broke off her relationship with him for the sake of her love.
After the departure of his daughter, many believed that Mr Alcheron Vermont would marry again and birth a new heir. There were also women who longed for that person to be themselves, after all, it was the Vermont family. But since then, Mr Alcheron has been living alone, without even a scandal, devoting all his time to his work. And gradually from a billionaire to the world's richest man. And just now, I, Hirre Monreal, became the sole heir to this huge fortune...
"Harsha, shouldn't we reject this fortune? It's not..." I was planning how to refuse this fortune that shouldn't be mine, but Grandpa wasn't even giving me the time.
" Honey, say something," he said, looking at me with such spoil and encouragement in his eyes that I couldn't resist them. I think my mother is really like her father, and I am like my mother. Grandpa may be missing his only child through me, and I want to find the scent of my mother in him too.
I looked at my uncle and cousin who were smiling at me from the stage, and Sandra who was excited from the sidelines. they nodded to me as if to tell me that it was real and not a prank or a dream.
"Hirre, accept it. We shouldn't disappoint and break the hearts of our families who love us." Harsha said.
Right, we are a family, blood relatives, and I have no right to deny the love from my family. It was almost the purest love in the world.
I took the microphone from my grandfather and held it to my lips. My hands were still shaking as I held it. I looked around wearing a smile as I spoke on the crowd.
"Thank you everyone for this night that I have everyone of you for my bar mitzvah, and thank you for remembering my mother. I will study hard and be a good successor..."
Clap!Clap!
There was a burst of applause from the stage, and some others were red-eyed. My grandfather, who was on the sidelines, put his hand on my shoulder and looked at me with relief.
"Good luck Miss Monreal!"
"We are always here to support you, Miss Hirre!"
"We are happy to meeting you, Miss Monreal!"
I couldn't believe that tonight, I was here gathering the love and support of this people, cheering me with their bounty applause and not a humiliation.
The party went into free time and everyone came around and was curious about me. Grandpa tried to fend it off for me, but I refused, I enjoyed interacting with everyone and it was my place to do so.
"Miss Monreal, why did you show yourself just now?"
"I had been in my father's pack before and rarely came back."
"Miss Monreal, have you met your mate already?" This question stung me... I don't know how to answer it...
"Mom! This is privacy! How can you ask!" It was just as well that the lady's daughter defended me
"It's okay," I said, looking thankfully at the young girl. But it reminded me that Alejandro hadn't accepted my refusal, damn it!
"How dare they come?!" Suddenly, Harsha shouted in my head.
When I saw Alejandro show up with his family, I understood Harsha's anger.
But I was still curious as to why they were here.It is not hard to understand, the Vermont family has not held a party for a long time, and to get into such a party is undoubtedly what everyone is most eager for. It would be a chance to find the best mates for their children, even if it was just to meet some wealthy businessmen, it would be a chance to change their fortunes.
I didn't really want to see that family right now, nor did I want to argue with someone at the bar mitzvah my grandfather had prepared for me.
But Alejandro's sister saw me.
"I told you, brother, Hirrie is a gold-digger, that's why she was so eager to reject you at the ceremony." Eury Lionhart looked at me mockingly.
I was furious at their shamelessness; she seemed to have forgotten that it was her brother who had betrayed me.
Alejandro saw me too, and his eyes once again turned to shock, and soon, to pain, as he pulled me aside.
"Why are you here, Hirre? Did you know that I was looking for you?" He grabbed me and asked, staring at me directly. I could hear the surprise he felt from the tone of his voice.
"Mr Alejandro, what do you want from me?" I asked coldly
And then he reply, daring to even hold my hand, "Hirre, Claire and I don't have any relationship. It was an accident. That bitch set me up. Please believe in me."
Heh, that's the excuse he's been thinking about all day. But I don't care anymore.
"If you want me to believe that... then accept my rejection. NOW!"
Everyone looked at us as I spoke, noticeably surprised about the matter. They understood something from our conversation and supported me in droves.
"You jerk! Keep away from Miss Monreal!"
"It's true. She rejected you so you must stay away from her!"
"Are you out of your mind? Get out of here!" Some even wanted to rush up and expel him.
They scolded Alejandro and he felt the same feeling of unpleasantness that I felt before. But instead of walking out, he held my arms and spoke.
"No! I will never accept that. Because I'm telling the truth, we don't have any relationship! I didn't betray you! I am the best choice for you!" He insisted, but with his words, I knew he was unreasonable for not accepting my rejection.
"How dare he!" Harsha growls and wants to rush out and rip him apart, and so do I, but not now. I can't ruin this beautiful party because of this asshole. And seeing as he wasn't about to take our rejection, I wasn't going to waste any more time.
I wanted to walk out to get away from him. But he tried to hold me tightly and tried to mess me up.
"No! Hirre. Please!" He continued, which made me feel more annoyed.
"Let me go Alejandro! We are done with each other." I retorted coldly as I tried my best to give him the fiercest of my glare.
I wanted to get out from the crowd so no one would see this embarrassing scene in my mitzvah. But everytime I tried to make a steps away, Alejandro held me tighter.
"No! You will never get away from me!"
"Alejandro! I'm warning you, stop this!"
But instead, he grabbed my arms with his strength that caused some red marks on my skin.
"It hurts..." I growled, almost tearing up.
"I know Hirre. But I don't want to lose you!" Alejandro growled back, his tone stubborn.
His hand clenched around my arm and it was getting stronger. As much as I wanted to free myself from him, I was helpless to so anything. Between us, he was much stronger than I was, so I did not have the strength to retaliate.
"Let me go!"
"I said, No! Hirre, NO!"
Because of that, I wanted to scream and intended to use my wolf to free myself. But before could I open my mouth again, a low manly voice suddenly sounded from gate.
"She said, let her go, are you deaf?"
(Hirre's POV).Everyone looked at the door where the source of that new voice came from. I took advantage of Alejandro's daze to shake off his grip and immediately, I put a distance away from him."Wait Hirre! I smelled something good." When I wondered who this voice was. Harsha, my wolf, suddenly roared from the inside.I couldn't help but frown and growled back in response, "Enough that Harsha, Alejandro is no longer our mate!""It's not Alejandro, I'm pretty sure it's not! It's different from the smell of meat loaf when we met Alejandro, it's clearly a more aromatic red wine mint!" Harsha insisted, making me to think about the matter more carefully.What? My second chance?When I tried to confirm, there was a commotion at the door again, a men in black suit came walking in, his aura unfathomable. With just a glance, I could tell that he was a man of high status, probably Alpha males.Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the young man. I could tell that he also had a mascular
(Severus' POV).When I saw Hirre, I totally understand the men who are crazy for women!I could not deny how my eyes had been attracted by her beauty. Her skin was white as snow and it was in contrast to my tan color. Her breast was healthy same as her long-legged body. Her perfect body shape could easily catch every eye who would look at it. And it was difficult to believe that she was just only eighteen years old.Everything she had, I longed for it. As such, when my hand touched hers, I felt like everything was just like a dream. Her soft and candle-like fingers made me feel a spark within me, quickly scattering throughout my body.On top of that, her smell was so intoxicating like a new bloom of rose flowers that I found myself having difficulty of refraining from excitement.Her touch... Her scent... Her beauty... I didn't want to admit it but I think, I fell from her. Though I just hid that feeling from her.Meanwhile, my wolf Deimos cooing in inside as he sensed the wolf of Hir
(Author's POV)"Thud!"The falling objects could be heard inside Eury's room. After they went back to their pack, Eury could not stop doing tantrums as she got mad after being expelled from the event."That bitch! Arghhh..!" She screamed as she threw everything she could grab.She kept on throwing her things because she missed the event of the Vermont family. Her family also ignored what she was doing, giving her freedom of what she wanted to do.Somewhere outside Eury's room, there Alejandro and his parents were seated. Everyone was silent until Alejandro's father, Alpha Gregor, called Alejandro."Alejandro, let's talk." Alpha Gregor stared at Alejandro deep in the eye.With a blank expression, Alejandro silently walked toward his father who were waiting for him in the dining area. In his mind was not what his father was about to talk about with him, but Hirre who insisted of rejecting him. Even when he sat in front of his parents, he thought nothing but Hirre."Alejandro, you need t
(Hirre's POV).Three days laterThe atmosphere was clear when I reached the base of Crimson Blood pack. I felt a little bit nervous and at the same time, excitement."Please follow me, Miss Hirre." A woman appeared in her neat clothes and greeted me with a smile. I naturally greeted back before I followed her toward a massive building. We entered the elevator and the woman set it on the highest floor."Come on in, Ma'am..." The woman leading me uttered as she led me toward a certain door. King's Office, that was what was written on the exquisite wooden plaque placed on the door.That aside, two guards in black suit stood on each side of the door. I narrowed my eyes slightly, scanning the things around me.I took a deep breath before entering the massive room to calm my nervousness down. Only to have my throat suddenly got dry as I saw Severus sitting inside."Oh, the prince has come to welcome us, too." Harsha gets so excited just to see him."Harsha, I'm warning you, no contacting hi
(Hirre's POV).Three days after...At the training grounds..."HYAHHH!" I yelled out as I threw my last punch at the man's chest. He slid backward from the impact, his eyes widened in shock. The dust from the ground arises as he forced to maintain his balance."F^CK! Taste this!" Enraged, the man roared his way toward me. I strengthened my senses and my fist for his another attack.I smirked as I reacted quickly against his attack. I moved faster than he could as I ran to clash with him head on.I dodged his furious punch by hairbreadth as I immediately did a counter attack. Before he could react on time, I already caught him off guard as I threw my knee against his chest with all the strength I put in.Thud!His poor body was sent rolling on the ground, ready to pass out at any time the moment he stopped rolling. I could see on his face the sufferings he had experienced from our duel."Sorry, But I won.," I spoke to console him as I wiped the sweat that flowed from my temple and fore
(Hirre's POV)."No... No need to... I can handle it myself." I refused the offer of Severus. Well, it was only because I was worried for his future. He hates menacingly as if he would kill Alejandro if he did do so on impulse. This will definitely affect his candidacy for the next Alpha King."Tsk. It's not a problem at all, Hirre." He clicked his tongue as he replied, seemingly not bothered with the stuff that I was worried about. I bit my lower lip as I heard his response. Was he trying to act tough and cool now?Tap... Tap... Tap...I was about to reply again in refusal when some footsteps were suddenly heard coming toward us. We immediately looked in the direction where the footsteps were coming from. Only to see Beta Leo and Gamma Elias approaching us from the distance."Oh? You both are here," Beta Leo greeted us with somewhat surprised reaction. I smiled in response and waited for them to get closer."We almost waited for the both of you for an hour. We didn't expect that we wi
(Hirre's POV).I immediately turned around the moment I heard the familiar voice coming behind me. But I really was taken by surprise as I saw the man who had just spoken and was now standing in front of me."Omy... You're here!" With my eyes widened seeing that man, I remarked with a pleasant tone.Why is he here? Is my cousin here too? I couldn't stop looking around."What are you looking for? Miss"He replied, wearing a wide smile as he stared at me."No... Nothing... Why are you here?" I shook my head as I asked with a disbelieving smile.However, before I could get an answer, Severus suddenly came rushing toward me and blocked the man who had just arrived.He gently grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes. His eyes carried worries deep within as he said, "Hirre, are you okay? "But I just ignored his worries as I sighed and replied to him, "I'm okay..."Even after I told him I was fine, he still wouldn't let go of me. This goes beyond the concern of a simple friend.I pushed Se
(Hirre's POV)."What did you say? I'm the owner of this club?" I was shocked upon hearing those words from Ken."Yes, Hirre. You are not mistaken." Ken replied and I suddenly thought about the establishments that my grandfather bought in the human world. He did that so I could use them as my training facilities for performing my operational skill. And I knew that there were a lot of properties listed in my name cause I have a list of them in my computer files. However, because they were so many of them, I did not have any time to read them all."Wow, what a coincidence," I muttered as I gave Ken a look of pleasant surprise."I wish I'm in your position." Gamma Elias spoke with a joking tone as he smiled at me. But although it was just a joke, in my thought, I believe that almost everyone would wish to be a Vermont's heir. After all, being a billionaire was something of everyone's dreams. I just happened to achieve it without doing anything great."Kuku, me too. But I know we can't be
