Not being with her when she went to the Lunarko Tribe to face her ex-fiancé was taking a toll on me expecialy when Lauren was devasted by what she learned about her mother. Moreover, I was supposed to come with her to her Grandmother Anna but I was held by the obligation Like the Andrews, for instance. The family was gone in the territory but I still have to process the pape My comeback as an alpha has to be processed, too. The people of the tribe should be reassured that I admit that my temporary disability not only made me felt useless and weak. I also made the membe have no reason to stay as an alpha of the Full Moon Tribe.

The knock on the door raised my head from reviewing yet another document. Another knock later, the familiar face of my receptionist c*m assistant showed her face at the door. "Sir, she called again. She was asking for an appointment with you."
"Did she?"
The side of Leila's lips turned up. "She begged. What should I say to the b*tch, alpha?"
It was pretty obvious that my assistant did not like the person. In fact, most people that were close to me for the same.
"When can you squeeze her?" I asked as I flipped the page of what I am reading.
"I could squeeze the life out of her anytime, sir."
A smile formed on my lips when I heard Leila's response.
"You have to fall in line, I guess."
"I think so, too, sir." She cleared her throat after a while. "I could schedule her before your 2 PM."
My glanced at the clock on the wall in front of me. Two o'clock will be in half an hour.
"Noted. Informed me when she arrived."
"Yes, sir."
"Thank you."
The door closed again.
Meanwhile, I stopped working altogether. I closed the file and leaned on the chair I am sitting on.
Serena has been pestering me to have a talk. For the first two times that I have turned down her request, I was polite. However, on the succeeding times, I no longer answered her phone calls that she resorted to sending messages. I had to block her number so that I will not be bothered. Yet, the woman contacted Leila in the office and asked for appointments several times already.
I knew why Serena is doing this. With her allies kicked out of the tribe, she was in hot waters and most of the people were still holding prejudices against her when she broke our engagement on the time that I needed her.
Contrary to the Serena that I know, the woman that has been persistently trying to be in touched with me was humble.
During the time that I was still confined in the wheelchair, Serena looked down on me and confidently told me that I am hopeless.
She and I have nothing talk about. I still wonder why the woman still insist to speak with me.
"She's here, Alpha."
I nodded at Leila. I continue signing papers.
"Should I prepare the poison, sir?"
"My mate would love you."
"I already love the Luna, sir."
"Thank you." I closed the folders and face the assistant. "Please let her in. The folders are ready for you, too."
Leila gathered the folders from my table before leaving my office.
A couple of minutes later, the door opened again. Serena entered with her fully made-up face.
This is the woman I know. I told myself.
One of the reasons why I considered Serena to become my mate was, she was pretty and part of the elite families in the tribe like the Andrews. We ran in the same circle. The woman that drew near me was shy. Her head was down.
It was not her usual style.
"What can I do for you, Serena?"
I did not bother to stand nor offer her the seat.
Slowly, she lifted her face and met my eyes. However, she looked away immediately liked she was burned.
Groveling by her action, my attention remained on her.
Serena cleared her throat.
"Victor, I mean, Alpha Victor. I am here to personally apologized for my mistakes in the past." She started. She dramatically sighed before continuing. "Forgive me, please." "It's all in the past, Serena."
It was true.
I already moved on. I am in my full potential again. Besides, when our engagement ended, I met the person that helped me and eventually found out my one true mate in the same person.
There is no use in holding a grudge against Serena. Ours was history. I am looking forward for my future with Lauren.
"I am glad that you were able to forgive me. Thank you for considering our past relationship. I hope this mean well for both of us."
A frown marred my face at the words coming from her.
"What I am trying to say is, I said mean words to you when I learned that you might not be able to walk again and regain your wolf. I should not have done that, Victor. I should have supported you and remained on your side as your future wife."
My frown deepened. I am a little lost on where our conversation is going. I thought this talk was about the closure of our past and affirmation that she will be part of the tribe regardless on how she treated me before breaking up with me. Serena drew near. A smile started to paint her lips. Hopeful eyes were looking back at me.
"Victor, it's not too late to start again. I'm still free. I promise you I will never ever leave your side again. I still have our ring."
"W-what?"
She raised her left arm and showed her fingers before me. On her finger glittered the ring that I gave her when I proposed.
"I know that I hold a special place in your heart, sweetheart. I still love you, too. We can still get married. It was the only thing missing in our relationship, Victor."
I stared at the woman in front me. I am surprised, to say the least.
"That woman is not for you, sweetheart. We're perfect together. Why would you choose another when you have me?"
"SILENCE!"
Without meaning to, Kent showed up before Serena. Shocked was all over the face of the woman.
"Stop your nonsense musing, woman. Do not ever compare yourself to my mate. You are nothing."
Kent's voice was clear and affirmative.
"But-"
My wolf hushed her.
"My woman is perfect. If you think that you have an edge over her, you thought wrong. What we had was a convenience. I have no emotional entanglement with you. I only proposed an alliance with you because you are available." Gasped exited Serena's mouth. Her eyes were wide from shock and embarrassment.
"Do not show your face again. Do not ever dare to show up either in my presence or my mate's. If that happened, I will destroy you in ways unimaginable." Kent glowered at the woman. "Are we clear?" Serena nodded in fear.
"Leave."
She ran to the door with tail between her legs. Her feet almost entangled at each other in haste.
"That should put her in place." Kent muttered.
"I'm sure, it did."
"Prepare to leave now, Victor. Our mate is waiting for us."
"Right."
I turned the computer off and
reached for the bags under the table. Those were the gifts I selected for Grandma Anna.
With wings on my feet, I headed towards the door. I am heading to Sabado Tribe to personally meet the person that guided and took care of the woman that means the world to me. Leila was smiling widely behind her table when she saw me. She stood up.
"Best of luck, Alpha."
"Thank you."
The assistant knew that I will go to Sabado Tribe after I finished my work here. She also helped me in choosing the gifts for Lauren's grandmother. "Goodluck to us." Kent uttered in my head.
