Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 172

Lauren's POV

Staring outside the window, I pinched myself to make sure that my eyes were not playing on me. My mind is still fuzzy and this might be part of my dream because of my longing to be with my mate. My mouth went ajar when I felt the sting of my own nails.

Victor is indeed in the Sabado Tribe territory!

Bella howled in my head. She was also making happy dance at the sight of our mate. My wolf also misses Kent.

My feet seemed to have a mind of its own. I went out of my bedroom and sprinted in the direction of the front door. Not minding that the robe that I am wearing was not even tied in the middle, I am galloping. I must be a runner in my past life. Victor was still meters away from the front door.

A wide smile painted my lips when our eyes met.

"My Alpha." I called out.

The air between us seemed to sizzle at the glimpse of the enigmatic man from a far.

Despite the simple ensemble of dark jeans and a white shirt, Victor was undeniably a very attractive man. I am lucky that the Moon Goddess has put us together that made him mine.

I rushed to my mate and clung my arms on his broad shoulders. My eyes closed on their own when his warm body enclosed mine. I felt him pressed kisses on top of my head. He also breathed in my scent. "I miss you, my Luna."

It was only been days since we last saw each other in person. Although we corresponded through text messaging and face time, it was no longer enough. We were used to seeing each other at the end of every day since I stayed in Midnight Claws pack when I started to work as his personal caretaker.

I was not able to utter another word when Victor's warm mouth covered mine.

It was sublime.

I miss this man so much that I was longing for him in the past few days especially when I heard of my mother's affairs and the lack of anything to go on in digging her past. However, with a simple touch, a kiss, everything appeared to be alright again.

"I miss you, my love." Victor whispered when our lips parted. We're sting gasping for air from the deep kiss we shared.

"I am happy that you are finally here." I whispered back despite the overwhelming emotions that is surrounding my being.

"Me, too. I was glad that the people at the gates recognized me and the alpha allowed my entry."

My laughter resonated in the area. It was my fault and Victor was subtle in telling me that I have forgotten to inform the tribe that he is coming.

I was very overwhelmed yesterday when I arrived in the territory that I was not able to informed the alpha that Victor will be here today. I was supposed to speak to my Uncle in the evening but Mila happened.

Victor's face was about to descend on mine for another kiss when I covered my lips. A frown marred his handsome face and an unspoken question reflected on his eyes.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet." I said in muffled sound.

"But I kiss you already."

"I know but-"

My protest was contained in my throat when our lips met again. I did nothing but responded to his sweet kisses. Morning breath be damned.

I pulled my alpha mate to Grandma Anna's garden at the back. It was mainly of orchids and bonsai. My grandmother's prized possession except me, of course. "How was your trip?"

He was supposed to be here by night fall yesterday but something came up in the office that he has to met with one of his staff. The meeting ended after seven in the evening that I was the one who told him to drive in the morning for safety reasons. "It was uneventful aside from the call I got from Leila." "Everything alright?"

"Yeah. Nothing that she can't handle in my absence. She's competitive and dependable, my Luna. She just wanted to inform me and get my confirmation." He explained.

"I want to meet her."

They sat beside each other in a love seat. Overhead were the orchids that were blooming with flowers.

"She wants to meet you, too."

"I thought you'll be here with your beta?"

"I did. He went to speak with the alpha on my behalf. He knew that I wanted to see you badly."

"Really?"

I stared into his face when I said that. A hint of grin was on my lips, too.

"Yeah,"

I hummed. "I'm starting to like your beta, my alpha. He knew his priorities."

Victor nodded. A smile was also present in his face.

They were about to kiss again when I heard a light cough from behind. Like children caught their hands in a cookie jar, we turn to the direction it came from.

I swallowed the lump in my throat when I saw the two individuals longing by the door.

Grandma Anna was looking at us with a frown on her face. On the other hand, Mila was beside her with anticipation on her face. She also has a glass of orange juice in her hand.

"I was waiting for the popcorn, my friend. We're almost at the exciting part." Said my friend with a wide grin on her lips. She was clearly amused.

My grandmother cleared her throat again.

"Are you alright, Grandma? You want me to check on you? It might be pneumonia." Mila asked. She sent a wink on my way when she received a glare from the old woman.

"You go back to your room, Lauren. That is not the right clothes in receiving a visitor." Grandma Anna uttered in a serious voice.

"G-grandma..."

"Inside, Lauren."

I heaved a sigh. I looked at Victor who looked nervous at the sight of my grandmother.

"Good morning, Miss Anna." He greeted as he stood up.

Victor was known for being a powerful and strong alpha but looking at him now, he seemed fearful as he stands in front of an old woman.

My grandmother nodded.

"I, I brought you gifts." Victor turned on his side only to find that he has nothing with him at the moment except for himself. "I mean-"

"If you are trying to bribe me to be on my good side, it's a no."

"Of course not, Ms. Anna."

"Grandma, Alpha Victor might like to have a cup of coffee. Maybe he has not eaten breakfast." Mila butted in.

The old woman nodded after glancing at the frozen male alpha.

"Come in. Breakfast is still available. You can join Lauren and Mila." Grandma Anna turned her back on us but she still added, "Change your clothes, Lauren. That is not the proper way of greeting a guest." "Yes, Grandma."

I pulled my mate inside the cabin. I heard him breathed out. I can feel the tension coming from him at the presence of my grandmother.

I glared at Mila who was already freshly showered. The woman must have woken up when I went out of the bedroom earlier.

"Go, woman. I will take care of Alpha Victor while you freshen up. You knew what will happen if Grandma saw something that she did not like." My friend disclosed.

"Did you see-"

"Yes. We both witness the kisses you shared." I closed my mouth when Mila raised her hand and showed the two digits.

I blew air from my mouth.

"I'll be right back, Victor."

"Take your time, my Luna. I'm not going anywhere."

"I like that."

I gave him air kisses as I ran to my bedroom to take a quick shower and change into a new set of clothes approved by my grandmother.
