Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 36

Lauren

POV

The next day.

The bright sunlight came through the window and I opened my eyes. The headache was killing me and I felt clumsy. My biological clock kept me awake but my head was still a little fuzzy.

I struggled to get up and smacked my forehead. The alarm started ringing, reminding me that I should give Victor his morning massage. I got out of bed to freshen up and the door across the hallway was opened when I walked out of the room. "Good morning," Victor walked up to me, looking gorgeous.

And memories about last night flooded into my head.

I remembered that I got drunk and Victor brought me back to the estate. We talked in the moonlight and then Victor proposed to me...

Yeah! He proposed!

"Are you having a headache?" Victor's voice was a little hoarse because he had just woken up and he was smiling at me warmly.

I was kind of embarrassed when he stared at me like that and even felt thirsty. I didn't dare to look him in the eyes and tried to keep my cool in front of him, "A little bit. But I'll pull it together in a minute. Do you want a cup of coffee? I'll go and make some." Right now I needed some space so I could figure out how I really felt about this. But I couldn't think straight when Victor was around.

"I've already made some coffee," Victor operated his wheelchair and went into the living room. There were already two plates of breakfast on the table and they all looked delicious.

But I didn't make a move.

"About last night..."

I suddenly got anxious.

Then he started chuckling and said in a gentle voice, "You don't need to answer my question right away. There's no need to rush. You can just think this over. But I do hope that you won't turn down my pursuit." His pursuit?

Did Victor really have feelings for me?

I was completely shocked. Victor was a man who honored his words and once he made his decision, no one could change that. And to be honest, I found it hard to say no to him because deep down I knew I also had feelings for him.

I took a deep breath and said, "Victor, what happened in the past might be caused by false heat which was triggered by my healing power. Your feelings for me might just be your delusion."

"I can tell what is real and what isn't," Victor said calmly.

"If you're really affected, you wouldn't know..."

"I know how I feel and what makes me feel this way," Victor said softly, "Lauren, you're defensive around everybody and you never let down your guard. You refuse to open your heart and let others in and I don't like that." After a long time of silence, I sighed, "What if you find out I'm not your mate when we get Kent back? Will you still trust your gut?"

Victor looked into my eyes with those golden eyes as if he could see right through my soul and said, "Do you believe in intimate relationships?"

I didn't.

My mother did but she was betrayed by the man she loved and suffered so much in this love that the Moon Goddess blessed.

And the silence was my answer to his question.

Victor smiled at me and said firmly and gently, "Me either. I only have faith in myself."

What a cocky answer! What a cocky alpha!

But I somehow believed his words when he was the one who said them.

He and alpha Manuel were different.

"I..." I easily got nervous around Victor and I didn't know how to respond to what he just said. Thank god my phone started ringing and interrupted this conversation. It bought me some time and I said, "I gotta answer that call." "Alright," Victor nodded, "take it easy, Lauren."

I ran into my bedroom to pick up the phone but I couldn't get what he just said out of my mind.

But soon, the screaming from the other side of the line caught all my attention.

"Ahhhh!!!" Mila was screaming on the phone and it sounded like she was going through something, "oh my god, oh my god! Do you know what happened when I woke up? Did you tell someone to carry me home? Did I hook up with a random dude in the bar last night?"

I got a bit worried and asked, "What happened?"

"This is awful! So surreal!" Mila kept screaming but she sounded completely fine, "can you believe this? My house is so tidy right now and the dirty laundry and magazines on my couch are all gone. The floor is way too clean and I feel like I'm walking into a hospital!" I was speechless and didn't know what to say to her.

Although Mila was a doctor, she wasn't really an organized person. She was busy with work all the time and her house was no different than a hotel room for her. So no matter how messy it was, it didn't matter to her. Sometimes I couldn't imagine how she could live in that cluttered house.

"Victor's beta sent you home. Maybe he couldn't imagine how you manage to live in that environment and helped you clean it up." Victor was a neat freak and I believed Richard was also one since he was Victor's beta.

Hearing that, Mila was thrilled, "Victor's back? Oh my god, I don't remember anything. That beta...I've seen him before in the hospital and he's really hot. I never knew that he's kind of like a fairy godmother."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Just be grateful that he did that. Even those cleaning ladies didn't want to spend more time in your messy house. Now that someone finally cleaned your place up. I thought there was an emergency when you called me." Updated by FindNovel.net, visit for more free novels.

I thought she and Richard hooked up last night when I heard her scream like that. It turned out to be a big misunderstanding.

Mila pouted and grunted, "What are you thinking? He's a nice guy but I don't wanna sleep with the beta of the Midnight Claws Tribe. That sounds terrifying"

"Yet you wanna fix me up with Victor?"

"That's totally different. There's a special bond between you two," Mila giggled but then she suddenly paused for a second when she remembered something else, "wait, though I was wasted last night, I still remember that you said you've seen Victor's big dick! Wow! Oh my god, you've already had sex? Did you two do it last night?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You were too drunk last night and all of this isn't true. I've never said that."

Bella did. But what did it have to do with me?

"Huh," Mila didn't buy it, "I feel like you also like Victor. He seems to be very protective of you. Why don't you give it a go?"

"Okay, okay."

I tried to muddle through but that just made her even more curious. She asked, "What? Lauren, you've changed a lot. You're not that certain anymore. Did something happen last night?"

Even though I was frustrated right now, I didn't want to tell her that Victor proposed to me. She would scream so loud that both of our phones were going to break down.

"No, stop overthinking it," I checked the time and said, "alright, if there's nothing more to talk about, just get ready and go to work. It's time for Victor's treatment."

"Okay, and you two can get to know each other more," Mila chuckled. All of a sudden, she paused and then smacked her desk so loud that my eardrum almost broke. Mila shouted wrathfully, "Damn it! These two jerks!"
