CAMILLE’S POV :
The answer is no. Your not to leave this place” he stated firmly.
My frustration began to boil over. “But this is the first time I’ve ever asked to leave to another pack! I just want to see my friend and offer my congratulations. Please, alpha.
His expression remained unchanged. “I understand your desire to visit your friend, but you’ll have to find ways to communicate with her from within the pack house, we have phones you can call her or I can call her now, it’s Ivy right, I have received the news too.
I can call her now as you can speak to her as long as you like but your not going anywhere”.
I couldn’t contain my anger any longer. “This is ridiculous! I’ve been a prisoner in this house for far too long, and I’m tired of being treated like a that.
Why do you always have to control everything I do?”
He stood up, his towering presence intimidating. ” Mate or no mate , You will speak to me with respect, young lady.
I am your alpha, and you will show me the proper deference. And my decision is final. You are not to leave the house, and you will not argue with me on this matter again.”
“Yes alpha I understand” I said , my eyes downcast.
“Now leave, I’m done with you” with that said, I stood up and left the office feeling annoyed and frustrated.
I went back and informed Miss Clara that I won’t be going and that I wasn’t given permission too.
There was nothing much she could do even though she has known the Alpha for years, I told her not to worry and to send my regards and congratulations to Ivy and apologise on my behalf as she hugged me and pecked my cheek.
“Take care of yourself sweeetie, I’ll be back in a few days okay” she told me as she left. I felt really bad , I wanted to go too. It’s just so annoying ughhhhh.
ALPHA AIDEN’S POV :
I looked at the door as she left. I went to my sit and sat down, thinking. Did she really take me as a fool? Did she really think I would just let her leave like that? Whoever gave her such a stupid idea, so that she can go and explore or whatever rubbish and then don’t come back, her means to escape me, but her plans won’t work.
She would remain in this house for as long as I see fit.
I was sitting at my desk, staring at the piles of paperwork that seemed to multiply before his very eyes, I decided to check out some work and put in order and now It seemed to have increased.
I looked up to my Beta, and best friend, who just burst into the office, a grin on his face. I wonder why he’s grinning now.
“Brooo, come on. Let’s go out and have some fun. You’ve been working like a maniac lately.
You need a time out and since I got back, we haven’t had much time to hang out”.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. “I don’t know, man. I’ve got so much to do and lots of things keep coming up , you know”.
“Dude, you can’t keep going like this. You need to take a break. Come on, let’s grab a drink and just relax.
Talk about things that have nothing to do with work. You’ll feel better, I promise.” He insisted. He won’t let this go, never. Where do I know him from again?
I hesitated for a moment, but the prospect of letting off some steam and catching up with my best friend was too tempting to resist. I grabbed my coat and followed him out of the office.
As we walked to the nearest bar, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over me.
It had been too long since I had taken a break and just enjoyed the company of my friends, still seeing how the friends with him will go. We found a quiet corner at the bar and ordered a round of drinks.
For the next few hours, we chatted and laughed, talking about everything and nothing. I felt my stress melting away as I lost myself in the conversation. By the time we left the bar, I was feeling much more relaxed and rejuvenated.
As we walked back to the office, I turned to Liam and grinned. “Thanks for dragging me out of there. I needed that.”
He clapped me on the back. “Anytime, man. You work too hard. You deserve to let loose every once in a while.”
Alpha nodded, grateful for his friend’s words, I’ll keep that in mind”.
As he wanted to go I called him back.
“Stay for dinner, it’s almost time. You can go get your mate and we can all have dinner together”.
He loved the idea and went to get his mate as I headed to the kitchen to inform them of our guest or should I say family.
CAMILLE’S POV :
I missed seeing Miss Clara cook already, someone had already taken her place till she’s back from her journey. We just got informed that there will be visitors today and we needed to arrange the place and keep it nice and neat and make delicious food.
There was a smile on the Alpha’s face when he said it, seems like the person really means a lot to him as he was very glad to have them over. I could tell.
“It better not be a girl” my wolf sneered and I laughed.
“Someone finally showed up”.
“Ugh duh” she said, bringing out her sassy attitude. We teased ourselves as I worked, we didn’t bring up anything that will spoil the mood for now.
At a point I couldn’t contain my laughter and let it all out and one of the maids looked at me like I’ve gone mad or something.
She was like what’s funny as she looked at me with a shocked face but I just shooked my head and covered my mouth as I pursued Lunaris , she needed to leave me be so I can concerntrate and stop laughing like a mad person.
