***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

***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

***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

***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

***Keira's POV****“You'll talk to me with respect, Arthur.”“Respect? Have you forgotten the fact that I'm an Alpha.”An Alpha? What pack was he from, and what is he doing in Drake's territory?“Well, you are not in your jurisdiction or are you? If you want some respect from me, why don't you wait until you see me in your pack? By then you can ask me for respect, and I'll gladly give. “I see. Very well noted. You never can tell, you might be coming to my pack pretty soon.”“Then I'd really look forward to that day, that's if it will ever come.”The Alpha suddenly bursts into chuckles. For some reason, I don't feel good about this Alpha. And seeing how Ethan responded to him, shows to a great extent that the two are not on good terms. “So, why don't you introduce the woman by your side to me, Ethan?“Don't you think you're unreasonably nosy right now?”“Unreasonably nosy, you say. Forgive me for prying. I don't think your involvement with this lady is a secret. Have you forgotten y
