ALPHA AIDEN’S POV :
“Why did you come back?” Liam growled, his voice deep and menacing.
I was taken aback, surprised by his hostility. I had never expected such a reaction from my bestfriend.
“Of course I came back to my pack,” I said, looking at him to see if maybe he had hit his head somewhere.
Liam continued to glare at me, his expression unchanged. Just as I was about to speak again, he suddenly broke out into a grin.
“I’m just messing with you, friend” he said, laughing.
With that, he lunged forward and pulled me into a tight embrace. I was caught off guard, but soon found myself laughing as well.
“It’s good to have you back, you should have seen your face” Liam said and laughed, clapping me on the back.
I smiled, relieved and happy to be back among my pack, my best friend, everyone.
“It’s good to be back,” I said, looking around at the familiar faces of my pack mates as I walked back inside.
My bag was carried upstairs as I went to my office to keep some papers I had with me.
“Bro why you going there?” Liam asked walking beside me, “you should be resting from your flight”.
“I do have things to do Liam” I chuckled at his reaction as we got into the office. Going over somethings and arranging my documents, Liam did do a good job these past three days, I was impressed.
Liam sat down looking curious. “So, how was the conference in Japan? I heard it was a big success.”
I smiled. “It was great. The conference went really well and I made some valuable connections. And of course, Japan is always a pleasure to visit. The culture and the food are amazing.”
Liam nodded. “I’m glad it all went well. What was the highlight of the trip for you?”
I thought for a moment. “A lot of Alpha’s said a lot of wonderful things. They had some really interesting insights on the future of packs and some things we run and it was great to hear some of their perspective. I’m glad there wasn’t much arguments, like little arguments but the never led to a fight”.
Liam smiled. “I’m glad you enjoyed it, well the one rule is no fighting. It’s something that comes with peace, even though your enemy is there”.
I nodded. “Yes, definitely.
Liam grinned. “That’s great. It’s always a good thing when we can learn from others and bring new ideas to the table.”
I smiled at him, “Yes, I couldn’t agree more. And speaking of new ideas, I want to hear about any new projects you’ve been working on.”
And with that, the two of us dove into a conversation about the project’s latest developments, both eager to share and learn from each another.
“Thank you Liam, you did good, your a very good Beta, You can go now” I smiled as he thanked me and smiled back, leaving the office and heading to his home.
Relaxing on my chair, there’s someone I haven’t seen yet.
CAMILLE’S POV :
Since the day the Alpha left, things were going smoothly until Luna Laila decided to start with her tricks and make it worse, she doubled my work leaving not much rest for me and she always found a way to blame me for even the littlest things and the ones I didn’t do.
When I see her, I would want to rip her heart out but patience, I just need to wait for when the times right.
The other day, she had made me scrub and wash her bathroom for hours, saying it was dirty. Something that was sparkling so much. My hands and back ached badly as I continued scrubbing.
Then she would tell me to give her a massage and all, even Miss Clara, felt like I was doing too many things. It’s not like there isn’t other people around who could do the work with me, she just wants to use it to get back at me. I detest her so much.
Now the Alpha was coming back today, she made me clean up their room for like the 10th time again, with her fake smile or happiness that the Alpha is returning, pfft.
Finally when the Alpha returned, I was already done and went back to my room, trying to get a little rest before I’ll be called for more work. It was so exhausting, I didn’t even want to see Alpha Aiden.
Then there was a knock on the door of my room. “Camille, the Alpha has sent for you in his office,” someone called out. Really? I just said I don’t wanna see his face and he calls for me.
My heart skipped a beat as I got up from my bed. What could he possibly want now? I smoothed out my uniform and followed the other maid down the hallway towards the Alpha’s office.
Reaching there the other maid knocked as she was permitted to open the door.
“Alpha she’s here” the girl said as I went in and she closed the door, leaving just me and Alpha Aiden in the room alone.
He stared at me for a long time not saying anything as I did same.
“Are you not going to welcome your Alpha” he asked as he stood up, getting closer to meet me at the door.
I gave him a fake smile as he got closer, our noses were almost touching as I could feel his breathe on mine, my breathe hitched at how close we were.
I gave him a little push as I escaped from under him, clearing my throat.
I turned to him, “welcome Alpha, is there anything I could help you with? Cause you sent for me”.
“I already have what I need right here in front of me” he smirked, coming closer and kissing my neck.
“Stop please, someone could smell you all over me” I said to him as I pushed him lightly, “I see you have nothing much to say, I have lots to do. If I may be excused”.
I turned to leave, opening the door when Alpha Aiden shut it back close, which made a loud noise, making me gasp in shock.
He then whispered in my ear, my back touching his chest, “you my dear, are not going anywhere, at least not yet”.
