ALPHA ROMAN’S POV
‘ Our mate is angry.’ Xade growled and I raised a brow. ‘ Really, are you sure about that?’ my gaze was stuck to my mark on the side of her neck. ‘ What is in your mind?’ Xade asked with concern and I raised my hand to brush her hair away so I would be able to see my mark which looked beautiful on her fair skin.
” You are as beautiful as fuck” I whispered, looking back in her eyes. Maybe I didn’t mark her with her permission but she was my mate after all. ” You…” her face red with a shy look in her eyes, she was smelling fucking good! Her body was fucking sensitive to my touches and it was driving me insane. How the fuck was I supposed to hold back when she would get aroused at my little touches? It was impossible to stay away from her, not at this point. The mating process had already begun and was almost at the end.
She was already carrying my mark just like every mate should.” You just lash out on me.” I licked the corner of my lips with a tiny smirk lingering on my face. I loved the surprised look on her face, was she embarrassed? Or did she just regret it?
I tilted my head to the side with a step back. My gaze ran her over with interest as if I was just seeing her for the first time.” Ah.. I’m sorry.” She murmured, looking away from me. ” Are you sorry?” I suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her to me. ” Madeline told me what happened in the morning.” My eyes stared softly at her. Maybe the goddess didn’t make a mistake because I loved who my mate was. ” What happened in the morning?” She seemed more surprised as hell a f her expression was fucking gorgeous.
She might be wolf-less but I could smell her, she was close but had no idea how close she was and until that, the pack couldn’t find out she was my fated mate.” I will go back inside.” My hand tightened around her waist, feeling her intentions to get away from me.” What about having lunch with me?” I pushed my face close to hers, ready to have a test of her lips but I stopped when I sensed Vincent nearby. I frowned when his knock came through.” I will get it.” Madeline ran out of the kitchen.
My hand hesitantly loosened around her waist before turning down the stairs.” Carolina just sent words to you.” I was expecting that but not today. ” She has invited you for an outing.” He said and turned my head to look back at Bella. ” What time?” I asked. ” She insisted on lunch.” I nodded and with my senses I sensed her walking back to the room.
” Roman.”
Madeline called out to me as I started towards the door. ” Do you have to go?” She asked before turning to look up the stairs at her invisible back. I knew what she meant but I had to do this.” Set the table, I will be back soon.” With this, I stepped out of the building.
I was looking forward to her reply but didn’t expect it to be this soon. I knew years had passed since she left the pack but until she denounced the pack, she would still be a pack member.
I reached out to her because the pack needs her skills and medical knowledge. It was high time we followed the growth in the medical field.
I didn’t think she would take my invitation as soon as it got to her but I was glad she didn’t turn her back on the pack.
” Where does she want us to meet?” I asked Vincent who rushed to open the car door for me but before I could enter I raised my head, feeling her gaze from up there. ” Did you two fight?” Vincent asked but I didn’t let out a word. ” She said she would text me the location,” he explained.
Throughout the drive all I could think of was her cold eyes. I couldn’t wait to get back to the pack house.” Are you sure you are okay?” Vincent was getting too concerned and I didn’t like it. ” How long?” I blush his question aside. ” Just a few minutes away.” He replied, I could feel his gaze but I wasn’t in the mood for his games. I wanted to get it done.
I dig t doe how many times I step in this part of the country, I won’t get used to being around humans.
After a few minutes, the car halted in front of a five-star restaurant that was miles away from the pack.
Carolina has been in the human realm for years and I wouldn’t be surprised if she turns my offer down though that wasn’t what I would expect. ” Get the contract ready,” I ordered, I wasn’t looking forward to a turn down because my offer was tempting. And I was 70% sure she would take it.
I stepped out of the car and adjusted my jacket. ” Don’t you think we should take it a little slow?” I don’t agree with him.
” Get the contract done.” I started towards the building with my hand caged in the pocket of my black jeans.
The minute I entered the restaurant I caught her scent which wasn’t difficult to figure out because she was the only werewolf in the room. Her eyes shot at me directly and I knew she recognized me, if not her alpha she would, as a shifter.
I strode further towards her. I could feel the eyes lingering on me, it was my second time stepping feet in the human pack but I knew my way around here.
” Alpha Roman ” she stood up from her seat with a polite smile and I nodded for her to take a seat. ” Sorry if I kept you waiting.” I said with a nonchalant face as I took the seat opposite hers.” You don’t have to.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
” Miss Carolina.” A waiter appeared beside our table and I wasn’t surprised he knew her. I heard she was one of the top doctors in the human pack, she was her father’s daughter if you ask me.
” I will take my usual.” She said and the waiter turned to me without looking down at my face. ” I’m good” I raised my wrist to check the time. It should be over in a few minutes.
” I heard you wanted to meet and I hope you have thought about my offer.” I went straight to the point since she knew my intentions already. ” Alpha Roman, I’m glad you reached out and I’m happy moon packs have an alpha like you.” She dipped her water, I was eager to know where this was going. ” I’m sure you know the number of years it has been since I left the moon pack and the reason behind it.” she stared down and I knew returning to the pack that murdered his father wasn’t easy but the pack needed her skills.
The pack was left behind in terms of medicine. We lack a lot in terms of the medicinal aspect. With her skills and knowledge as a surgeon, the pack members would benefit a lot from her. I wouldn’t force her to take my offer but I hope she would take it.
Our world was a lot different that was why she became my first choice. ” I watched my father die and I couldn’t do anything.”
” Frank has already paid for his sins,” I said coldly staring at her, the waiter returned with her order and she murmured a thank you.
Frank was no longer a problem. Of course, unless her fears weren’t related to Frank alone.
I knew a lot of pack members got hurt during Frank’s reign. He made an enemy out of his pack, put them through hell, and killed those who refused to go by his orders.
Unfortunately, Carolina’s father who was a doctor then fell victim to his malicious Trump. He got punished for going against him and doing the right thing.
The man was good at what he did, he was the best doctor the pack ever had that was why I believed his daughter wouldn’t be any different.
” The pack is ready to pay you any amount you ask,” I told her, we have the resources to support her. ” Any amount?” She stared into my eyes for the first time since I got to the restaurant as if trying to understand my words.” The contract is already drawn, feel free to request any changes if you want any. My beta will get to you with the contract.” I stood up from my seat.” I will be waiting for your final decision.” I turned and left the restaurant.
” We are heading back to the pack immediately,” I said the moment I got out of the restaurant, jumping into the car seat.
