Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 134

Lauren's

POV

In Victor's estate.

"Don't you wanna know how they're doing recently?" asked Mila.

I shrugged and handed Mila a plate of bread, "Do I have anything to do with their lives?"

Mila was a bit stunned to hear that and then smiled, "You're right. Now you've got a new life and a new...family."

Family.

Victor was not only my partner. He was also my family. That word felt warm and gentle when it came into my ear as if we finally had someone to lean on.

"I like that word," I said honestly even though I knew Mila would joke about it. Then I took out some tomatoes and bacon from the fridge.

But this time she wasn't making fun of me. She just looked at me in a very loving way, which kind of gave me goosebumps. I immediately said, "Hey, don't give me that look. I'm not your daughter and this lovey-dovey style isn't for you." "Oh, sweetheart, I'm so happy to see you doing so well. You guys will live happily ever after..."

But Mila started putting on a show and even tried to stroke my hair with her hands that had just touched the bread. I hastily avoided her hands and rolled my eyes at her, "Hey, don't try to touch me with that hands covered with crumbs. I don't wanna wash my hair again."

"Again?" Mila began teasing, "woah, looks like someone just got laid this morning. How was it? Was Victor great? Has he fully recovered?"

I was sure Dean Mila wasn't simply worrying about a patient so I pursed my lips and answered, "Yeah, in the training field he was. Bella and I have been training with Victor lately and our combat skills have improved a lot."

"Babe, don't even lie to me. This morning when I came in, you guys looked like you should get a room," Mila said, "I even wanted to grab that goofy guy's arm and leave."

I changed the subject, "Well, tell me, why are you two together?"

"I gave myself a vacation to catch up with my friends," Mila joked, "and he happened to be here to give a report to alpha Victor. So we came in together."

I raised my eyebrows.

Mila finally admitted, "Okay, okay. I knew I can't hide this from you just like you can't hide anything from me. I got drunk in the bar but then Richard called me. He went to pick me up and cleaned up my place again. Now my home is clean as new. This is awful. I felt like I had to stand on my tiptoes when I walked so that I wouldn't make the floor dirty again."

Mila and Richard were indeed an interesting combination. One was a bit sloppy and the other one was all neat and serious.

Knowing they were talking in the study, I cut to the chase, "Richard's into you."

"Mm-hmm," Mila didn't deny it, "innocent boys like him aren't kind of a turnoff for me."

"He is a little goofy when it comes to relationships but at work, he's the beta of the Midnight Claws Tribe. I think you should give him a chance. And I know you have feelings for him or else you would've cut him off a long time ago."

Mila was a straightforward person and if she wasn't into someone, she would just tell them. And if they kept pushing, she would kick their asses. But her attitude towards Richard was a bit strange and it wasn't like her.

She remained silent for a while and chuckled, "Like you said, he's the beta of the Midnight Claws."

"The Mila I know doesn't give a damn about status."

"And you know all of my concerns. Plus, I'm used to this free lifestyle," Mila laughed, trying to keep her cool.

I held back what I wanted to say and looked down, saying calmly, "Maybe you should give him a chance just like what you told me to do before."

Now we were literally walking in each other's shoes and we started laughing about it as we locked eyes. I said, "Who knows I become the one who's consoling you? This is unbelievable." "It is, indeed."

"But, you're my best friend and I wish you all the best, Mila."

Mila smiled and didn't say anything.

As we were talking, I heard the door of the study was opened. Two persons were walking toward us and Victor became serious and gloomy right now but his face softened when he saw me. "Something happened in the tribe, Victor?" I asked.

"Yeah," Victor didn't deny it and said, "they want a meeting in seven days."

I became alert when I heard him say that. This wouldn't be a simple meeting. Those snakes were going to do something to Victor's position. If Victor was still the crippled alpha who lost his wolf as they thought, they would force him to give up the throne in this meeting.

Those people had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"This is not gonna be an easy and peaceful meeting."

Victor nodded, "Yeah, and I think I should continue using my wheelchair before the meeting."

Because this was the only way to make them believe Victor was still crippled so that the ones who had been lurking would finally come to light. And maybe we could even find that Dark Enchantress. I was thinking fast but then I saw Victor looking at me, wanting to say something. We had grown more and more intimate with each other and I knew what he was thinking with only one look. I leaned on the wall and asked, "What do you wanna say?"

If Victor told me to stay in this estate for my safety, I would kick his ass with the combat skills he taught me.

And Victor obviously understood when he saw the look on my face.

I walked to him and looked up at him, sneering, "I remember an alpha once said that he wants to announce that I'm his Luna, right?"

We locked eyes and he knew what I wanted to say. He chuckled, "Yes. After the meeting, I'll announce to the tribe that you're my mate and ask the elders to set the date for our marking ceremony."

"Yeah, so I gotta be by your side instead of this estate, waiting," I said in a calm yet assertive tone, "and as your personal caretaker, I should stay with you."

"You're right, Miss personal caretaker," Victor laughed and fixed my hair behind my ear, "I know that and I've never wanted to make you wait for me in here... Fine, I thought about that for a few seconds and now I just wanna ask you if there's anything you wanna pack up and bring to the estate of the Midnight Claws Tribe."

"I can pack my things up tonight. It's just some clothes and important medical materials. Nothing else."

"Okay, we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

Mila stuck out her head behind my back and asked, "Well, my esteemed alpha and Luna, can I get invited to your tribe and have a tour? I'm on vacation and I wanna be there for your marking ceremony!" "Mila..." Richard said but his voice wasn't so firm. So he had to turn to Victor.

Victor looked at me and after I gave him a look, he immediately said, "Of course you can."

"Hooray! Let's go to our next stop, the Midnight Claws Tribe!" Mila said excitedly and even got my wolf Bella exhilarated.

This guy really thought this trip was a holiday journey but she indeed lightened up the mood and made me more excited about this journey...no, this trip to the Midnight Claws Tribe.

It was not just because that was Victor's tribe. The most important thing that alpha Victor of the Midnight Claws Tribe was coming home.
