Chapter 26
“Hey, girls. Look, Alpha Grant is heading his way here.” In a high tone of voice, one of them said as if she was trying to make her voice sound cute.
“Kyaa, here he comes. Do I look fine? What about my hair? Still okay?” Another girl asked one of her friends, and then they immediately fixed her hair.
“Hi, ladies. Mind if I accompany you today?” He asked with a low tone of voice, but he just looked too cool for them. So they were holding it not to scream for having the whole zoo in their stomach just by being approached by Grant.
“H-Hello, Alpha. I didn’t expect you to come here. But, of course, y-you can join us. It is our pleasure.” The girl who fixed her hair said in a cute yet stuttering voice while she was continuously blinking her eyes and smiling until her lips were about to tear apart.
Grant smiled at them, and one of them almost lost consciousness. “Well, I am planning on heading to the clubbing area. Would you guys like to come with me? We’ll have some fun.”
“A-Alpha, did you have a bottle or two already?” One of them asked with hesitation in her voice because the smell of alcohol was evident just by trying to smell him.
Instead of him being angry because the lady was being too nosy, he still opted to smile. He didn’t want to waste the vibe he had just created, and he wanted to have some fun to at least forget about Krisna and go on with his life even before he knew that she was his fated mate.
Greco was roaming around the pack trying to find Grant, it had already passed evening, and he was still nowhere to be found. “Where did he go off to? Alpha Grant is such a headache at times. When he says something he would like to do, nobody can change his mind.” He scratched his head gradually and continued to look out for him.
He was able to look outside the pack, he even went to search in the garden where he was earlier, but he wasn’t there anymore. So it was now Greco’s turn to look around for Grant, who was only playing around.
One moment later, Greco stopped in front of the fountain and thought back for a while. “Maybe he had gone off with some girls already, of course. And if that happens, there’s only one place inside the pack where he would definitely love to wander off.” His hand was resting on his chin, thinking too deeply about Alpha Grant’s whereabouts. He felt like a light bulb just popped on his head as he smiled in victory. “To the clubbing area!” He told himself in triumph and started to walk inside to go to where Grant currently was.
He immediately wrenched the doorknob and went inside the club. As soon as he got there, the loud music and the smell of alcohol suddenly welcomed him. Well, what should he expect inside a club, right? People were screaming, dancing to the loud music’s fast beat. The lights were going on and off together with those red, yellow, and green illumination just like a traffic light.
Everybody was having fun. Yet Greco was trying to squeeze in himself just to find Grant in the middle of the crowd. “You people smell like a rotten egg! Did you even take a shower before going here? Tsk.” He ranted with a slightly raised voice, but nobody heard what he just said because of the loud music.
His eyes turned to the man on the bar counter, and he was giggling with women. He finally confirmed that Grant was indeed inside the club, flirting with two other girls, and he was still drinking alcohol. He couldn’t believe what he saw, and he was coming back to his usual self again.
Greco hissed right away when he saw what he was doing and tried his best to pass the crowd. “Is he really serious about neglecting his mother’s warning? Letizia would definitely kill me if she saw Grant acting like this. Am I a failure as a Beta?” He told himself in a low tone of voice. Greco knew that it was bad luck just to ignore his fated mate, so he was there to try to change his upside-down brain cells.
“Alpha Grant, I’ve been looking for you. Let’s get out of here. You’re drunk.” He said while he was assisting Grant to stand up. “Excuse us, ladies, if you may. The Alpha needs to rest, and the Annual pack gathering is just around the corner as it seems.” He added while he forcefully took off one of the ladies’ arms clinging onto Grant’s arm. Grant was about to lose his consciousness but he was still able to hear what Greco was saying and doing. He just didn’t resist him because he felt weird with those women.
It was obvious that she was offended. “Ha! What a jerk. Tsk.” She said as she put her arms across her chest then rolled her eyes heavenwards. “Who does he think he is?” She asked the other girl in front of her.
Meanwhile, while the girls were sulking, Greco and Grant were back in Grant’s room. He put him down to sit on the couch to help him sober up.
He got him an ice-cold soda to help Grant sober up. He drank it in one gulp, and he felt a lot better than before.
Greco sat beside Grant and looked at him very firmly. Grant felt weird about what he was doing, but he couldn’t talk back for the first time. “Alpha, I am telling you, what you are doing right now will do no good to you nor the pack. Everyone is naturally destined for someone, and it is a sign of bad luck to ignore your mate. I know that you know that, and if you can still hear me, please think about it a couple of times. Just don’t try to make decisions rashly if it means being unlucky your whole life.” He told Grant in a serious tone of voice.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
