***Alpha Drake's POV***“My help? But I don't think I can help you with what you've mentioned.”“What do you mean?”“Listen, Alpha, if you really need my help on this matter, then I should tell you that I have no idea about what to do. Though I can only offer a suggestion for you.”“Which is?”“You'll have to reject her and banish her to the abyss, just like you did with the others before her.”“What are you talking about? You know I can't do that to her?”“Well, that's what you said, but honestly, that's the only way out of the situation right now. To me, I don't see anything wrong with what I've just advised you. You can't keep her as your mate. Alpha Drake, I believe you know the severity of the situation.”“No, I refuse to see such severity. I'm not sure the moon goddess would have given her to me if she really wanted to banish her. From what I see, I think this is an indication that there's finally gone for a change.”“Alpha Drake, you are letting your emotions speak for you righ
***Keira's POV*****A week later**Things were going smoothly and ever since I was able to get the interview with my mates, my boss has been wonderful to me. Not only that, I also became the envy of everyone at work. Though, they have no idea about Alpha Drake or the fact that I was mated to the others. “Hi, Keira,” I turned around and saw Fred walking over to my direction. “Uhm, Keira, will you be free this Saturday?”I furrowed my gaze while thinking about the weekend. Well, so far, I don't have any engagements this weekend. “Well, my weekend is quite free. Is there anything you want to talk about?”“Yes, matter of fact. It's very important that we meet this weekend.”“Hmm, since it's crucial, then I guess I'll have some time to spare. “Perfect! You can give me time, you'll be free, and I promise I'll prepare before then.”“Alright. That's not a problem, Fred, I'll surely tell you when I'm free.”He smiled at me once more before walking away. I wonder what's so important that h
***Drake's POV**Since it was the weekend, I thought about spending some time with Keira. It's been a week already, and I missed her. I needed to hold her and kiss her. I don't know when I became so addicted to her. Probably because my brothers and I decided that we are going to keep her as our mate. No matter what anyone might say. I texted her because it was the weekend. I knew she'd be needing to get beauty rest. Though I wasn't in my office, I was at the pack and in my study room where I have decided to handle some little pack matters before going back to my office, which will surely take the whole weekend. For this reason, I decided to text Keira and ask her for an outing, but she quickly replied to me that she was busy today. This makes me wonder what she was so busy with. According to the information I had found out about Keira's work space, I learned she was well respected back at the office, and she wasn't given any special attachment as yet. But then, I became curious
***Keira's POV**I noticed how Fred instantly went pale when I told him about having a mate. “Fred, are you okay?”“Huh?” He muttered while looking up at me. Immediately, he picked up the glass of juice on the table and gulped it down his throat at one go. “Keira, I have to be honest that I was quite taken aback when I found out you already have a mate. I was truly looking forward to a beautiful relationship with you, I just confess.”“I understand what you mean, Fred, but I believe that having a mate is a serious matter, and it means there's no way I can accept you even if I wanted to.”“You're right, I guess I came late. But then, this doesn't stop us from being friends, or does it?”“Of course not. You're still my friend, any time, and any day.”Fred smiled broadly, and I'm also glad that I was able to convince him. He's a good friend whom I really do not want to lose in my life. “Okay, since we are still friends, why don't we embrace one another. I mean, I want to call these fe
***Keira's POV***While in the car with Drake, I noticed he didn't say a word to me. I realized that he was still very much annoyed with me, and I understand why. I stayed quiet as well. I didn't want to say anything to him that would provoke him. What if he yells at him. I've never seen him get angry before, and I can't even begin to imagine just how bad his anger might be. An hour later, I found myself in front of a mansion which looked quite ancient but new all the same. I had never seen such a building so beautiful. I looked in Drake's direction, but he didn't look at me at all. He must still be mad at me. But if that was the case, why did he bring me here? If I'm not mistaken, the setting looks like a pack. Though I haven't been to a pack for long, but I could recognize when I saw one. After he switched off the engine, he took his gaze over to my direction. “We are home.”“Home?” I asked, looking at him with a surprised expression. “Yes, this is my Pack and as the future
***Alpha Drake***“I woke up at night, unable to sleep. Now that I'm in the pack, I still have a lot of work to deal with. I walked over to my office desk and switched on my computer. Just as I was about to carry out my duties, my mind flashed over to Keira. I still don't know who sent those texts to me and my brothers. But if I should let my suspicions run wild, I would say that I already know who did that, and it was none other than Amanda. She's the only one I know who is well aware of the fact that I'm mated to Keira. With this thought in mind, I thought of the best way to investigate Amanda without pointing accusing fingers at her because it could also be that she's not actually at fault. If that was the case, then it would mean that I was accusing of no good reason. I quickly shut my mind from thinking about the Suspect. My men are still trying to track the number with which the message was sent. Moreover, Damson and Ethan are trying to track down whomever it may be. With a
***Amanda's POV***“You have nothing to fear because the deed has already been done.”“What do you mean?” She asked, looking confused about what I had said. “She's definitely going to be hated by them. There's nothing to worry about her, especially now that all of them caught her red-handed. Thanks for calling me and telling me what happened.”“I didn't mean to say that to you.”“Please don't let your conscience make you feel guilty. You made the right choice, Elena. If you continue to collaborate with me in the future, I'll continue to help you.”“I don't want to collaborate with you in the future. Maybe you don't understand what I'm trying to say. I don't want anything to do with you from now on. Don't you understand?”I stared at Elena for a while. I understood exactly what she was trying to say, but little did she know that she cannot stop cooperating with me from now on. “Elena, I want you to calm down and think this through. Though you might think that you don't want me now,
***Elena's POV***“What are you talking about, Keira? What do you mean, you're not coming back to work or the house?”“Elena, I know this is confusing for you, but Drake was right. Someone had begun to put an eye on me. I would rather not get you in trouble. I would never forgive myself if something terrible should happen to you because of me.”“No, wait. You really do not have to leave.“Well, that's because she's been busy lately,” I said with a half-baked smile, even though it wasn't what I wanted. “This is serious. You two are housemates. Are you trying to tell me that you have no idea where she has gone?”“How am I supposed to answer all these questions? Don't you think it is too private for you all to ask?”I snapped at them and immediately, they all went silent. I didn't care to see their reaction before walking away from them. They are becoming too annoying at work, and it was, beginning to get on my nerves. If only they had an idea about him, I feel at this moment. “Miss
