Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 141

Lauren's

POV

"The Andrews family?" I didn't know a lot about the relationship between Victor and the Midnight Claws Tribe and I asked straightforwardly, "will it affect you if Serena really got involved with the Andrews family?" Victor looked down and smiled, "Are you worrying about me, Lauren?"

That was what he was focusing on?

I rolled my eyes at him and just as I wanted to get out of his embrace, my waist went weak and I couldn't help but gasp. Werewolves were much stronger than human beings but the s*x I just had was way too much for me. Alpha could get really unreasonable when he was jealous. I could even feel my legs shaking right now though I did have a good time just then.

Hearing that, Victor stopped teasing me. He laid me down on the bed and started massaging my waist with his big, calloused hands. Unlike the way he turned me on when we were making love, the strength of his rubs was just the way I liked it and it really helped relieve the soreness and discomfort of my waist. I squinted my eyes with satisfaction and joked, "You're really good at what you're doing, alpha Victor."

"You mean just then or now?"

He was always so flirty when he was in bed with me though he was the cold and stern alpha Victor in the eyes of other people.

He chuckled, "All thanks to you, Miss Lauren, you're an excellent teacher."

I opened my eyes and looked at him and he said carelessly, "I mean your massage therapy skills, Miss personal caretaker."

"Oh quit it. Answer my question."

I brought up the subject again and I thought maybe we were the only couple in the world that talked about such serious topics about the ex-fiancée right after sex.

At the mention of Serena, Victor's face grew colder but he still kept massaging, "No. I won't let someone I don't trust get my personal information."

"Someone you don't trust?" I was puzzled, "I thought she was your fiancée at that time, right?"

"I just happened to need a partner at that time," Victor said, "you know I didn't believe in romantic relationships just like you back then. I don't love her and I told Serena about that. But she didn't mind. We were more like business partners than lovers." Business partners.

I guessed Serena and Victor's relationship was just like the one Michael and I used to have. Before Victor and I met each other, both of us didn't believe in love. Victor needed a business partner and found Serena. And what Serena truly wanted wasn't Victor's love but the power, status and benefits the alpha of the Midnight Claws Tribe could give her and those things were much more important to her. So when Victor got injured, she found her way out, which was to be with someone who could be the next alpha and who was more powerful than Victor.

It was perfectly fine if Serena left because she met her true mate but it wasn't the case for her. She was the one who walked out from Victor when he was at the lowest point of his life. Thinking about what Serena said about Victor, I felt a heavy weight in my chest. "What's wrong?" Victor asked when he noticed I was wandering off.

"Nothing," though we were in our bedroom, I turned around to hold his neck and whispered into his ears, "I was just thinking...if she finds out you can walk again and Kent's back and she wants you back, I will definitely kick her a*s. You belong to me, alpha Victor." Hearing what I said, Victor chuckled with tenderness in his eyes, "We belong to each other."

We were destined lovers.

"Then can you answer my question? Me and those guys, who's hotter?"

"Oh, that's enough, alpha Victor, enough jealousy for today," I said with a sigh but I still couldn't help but indulge myself in his kiss the next second, "you're the sexiest hunk. Are you happy now, alpha?"

He kissed me and stared at me with his beautiful golden eyes but looked a bit serious. He said in a deep voice, "Lauren, things are gonna be a lot trickier from now on."

I got what he meant, "Yeah, but we always got each other's back."

"Yes. Yes, we will."

He was going to make an announcement to everyone in the Midnight Claws Tribe that I was his Luna and he would prepare our marking ceremony with me, which meant that I would soon become the Luna of the Midnight Claws Tribe and had to start learning how to run this tribe. Though I had learned about tribal management because of my previous engagement with the Lunarko Tribe, it was still a big challenge for me because the Midnight Claws Tribe was a much bigger and more powerful tribe. But I wouldn't be scared or chicken out.

Because my alpha would always be by my side.

He gave me a comforting kiss on the forehead gently. Victor's POV

The moonlight shone on Lauren's face softly like a veil and made her sleeping face look even more charming. Her lips were red like roses and smelled like cherries in the summertime, making it hard for me not to steal a kiss. The scent of peppermint and lilies in the valley was in the air and was really pleasing to me.

And I did steal a peck on her lips. She frowned a little in her sleep and her dew-kissed eyelashes trembled a little. But then she fell back to sleep very quickly. She was exhausted tonight.

Just as I was about to go to sleep with Lauren in my arms, my phone suddenly started ringing and it was a bummer for me. I glanced at my phone and saw the name of the caller on the screen and it ruined the good mood I was in. I narrowed my eyes and finally decided to get up quietly and sat in the wheelchair with the buzzing phone in my hand. I gently pushed open the door and went to the study next door. After I became handicapped, I had them make a door between the study and my bedroom for convenience. "Oh, alpha Victor, I heard that you're back. Sorry that I haven't paid a visit."

The man said on the phone in his hypocritical voice.

I interrupted him coldly, "What?"

"I'm just worrying about you," he sighed, "I know you've always been this distant and I really care about you. Your legs... How are your treatment sessions? I wanted to visit you but I got caught up with work and didn't have the time."

I questioned, "You're the one who should know best about my legs out of anyone, right?"

The man on the phone paused and then said, "...I'm just concerned about you as your elder. Victor, don't be frustrated. I'll try my best to find you a good doctor. We'll definitely find the right doctor who can bring Kent back."

"Will he be shocked if I show up in front of him right now?" Kent said with contempt in my head.

"It might be quite hard but even if we can't get Kent back, we must make you be able to walk again as soon as possible."

"If you're gonna continue talking crap like this, I think we should end this meaningless and stupid phone call," I said coldly.

He started to get irritated, "Victor!"

"I'm just worrying about you!" he said, "though you once were a strong alpha, it's been too long that your condition hasn't got any better. You know exactly what it means for a powerful tribe."

A powerful tribe didn't need a useless alpha.

I might be frustrated by what he said if my legs hadn't recovered and Kent hadn't come back. But now I wouldn't. I heard Lauren talking in her sleep in the bedroom and I came back to my senses. Damn it, why am I wasting my time on this idiot?

"Yeah, I do."

"Very well. Victor, I hope you can..."

I tried to stop Kent from taking control and howled and interrupted him coldly, "I do know that this is a meaningless and stupid conversation."

"Victor!" he lowered his voice, "I'm giving you chance. You're not the alpha you used to be anymore and your mother is the only reason I..."

I hung up on him straight away.

I saw the color of my eyes start shifting between golden and emerald green from the reflection on the window and my alpha scent was getting stronger and stronger. I squeezed on the handle harder. Kent and I really wanted to run in the forest but we couldn't for now. The only thing I could do was suppress my urge and calm myself down.

I heard Lauren's voice from the bedroom and that brought me back to reality. I instantly stopped being so intimidating but Lauren only moved a little toward my spot and didn't wake up. She was just talking in her sleep. Lauren was always so stunning and confident when she was awake but she looked really cute like a baby when she was asleep. My heart melted a little and I couldn't help but stroke her rosy cheeks.

"I want to mark Lauren," Kent said in my head, "I've been wanting to do that since we were in the car."

Ever since Lauren and I made love for the first time, I had been yearning to mark Lauren.

But I couldn't.

At least not for now.

"We should wait," I said to Kent, "she's our mate."

We would definitely protect Lauren.
