Clear Head
Ascella crossed her arms on her chest and rolled her eyes, “Oh really, then shouldn’t you be showing me more respect? I’m an Alpha, the only sister of the Alpha of your pack. When I say stop bothering us, stop. Do you understand?”
The air around Ascella changed and her golden emerged. The woman shivered and took a step back. Even though the woman was born an Alpha, Ascella was still above her as her blood was purer than hers. In the end, she couldn’t resist Ascella and she fell to the ground whimpering.
“Ascella.” Vega called out.
His sister retracted her presence and the atmosphere returned to normal. She turned around and walked towards her brother but not before giving the whimpering woman a smirk.
“You are still impulsive.” Vega commented while they were driving home.
“Well, she deserved it,” she shrugged her shoulders, “and you did not stop me.”
“As you have said, she deserved it.”
The woman who just approached them were one of the daughters that they tried to pair with him when they learned that he hasn’t found his mate yet. She was clingy and wasn’t smart enough to see that Vega was not interested with her or any woman in their pack. This was one of the main reasons why he never visited Cerulean unless necessary.
Not only him but even Megrez and Ascella doesn’t like any of them. They knew the reason why those elders continued to match him up with people he didn’t like. Cerulean was not an ordinary pack. It was a home to one of the strongest alpha bloodlines and children from this bloodline were regarded in high esteem. To become a mate to any of these children would ensure them power and prestige.
Humans are not the only creature who were greedy with power and werewolves learned that in a tragic way. Because of that, the pack only has the Alpha as its highest ruler and its council was abolished. Although the elders were still given respect, they didn’t hold much power like they used to so they resort to anything to gain what they have lost.
Ascella laughed and winked at his brother. “I’m sure that big brother Megrez will also agree with me.”
Vega dropped Ascella at the main house and bid his siblings goodbye. It was now time to return and finish what he left at the company. His scheduled trip to Zaithan City was next week and his battle would begin.
He went straight to the company and by the time that he was there, all the employees were already gone except for Evos who was waiting for him. They returned to his office and Evos guided him through the documents that needed attention.
“Was there any news while I was away?” Vega asked while signing and skimming through the contents of the documents.
“Miss Sophia visited and insisted on seeing you.” The secretary handed another folder.
“That woman is persistent. Has his father contacted me?” Thinking of the woman was already giving him a headache.
“I assume that he doesn’t want to get involved with his daughter’s matters.” Evos checked the files and neatly stacked them on another table for distribution the next day.
“That only shows that Mr. Reiner knows his priority. As for his daughter, don’t let her enter the building. If she insists then let her wait at the lobby.” He handed his secretary the last document. “Have you booked my flight?”
“Yes, and this will be your schedule tomorrow.” The man handed him the tablet and let him browse through it.
Vega flew to Zaithan City on Monday and was received by Kazandra’s team including herself. These past days had been busy and this was the only time that she could excuse herself to see Vega. She stood there with a smile on her face at the arrival of the man and his team.
“Welcome to Zaithan, I hope that you have a wonderful stay.” Kazandra extended her hand and the man had no qualms in shaking her hand.
“I didn’t expect that the owner would personally greet us.” He gave the woman a nod. He was glad that the woman was there to personally see them.
Kazandra closed the distance between them and slightly leaned forward. “We already shared a kiss, of course I’ll be here to welcome you.”
Evos’s ear twitched and his head snapped to where the two were standing. The staff who were there also noticed that they were too close to each other. They were filled with curiosity but as usual no one wanted to ask what was happening. All they could do was whisper amongst themselves.
Vega remained calm but the playful smile on the woman’s face made the crowd dying for more because they actually looked together. The Empire’s CEO could also feel the intense gaze that was coming from his secretary and friend.
Kazandra’s smile returned to its friendly form and she took a step back. “We’ve prepared lunch at Vignier for everybody. Why don’t we go there first before we send you to your accommodations.” She then looked at the other members of the team and they all nodded.
They drove to the café and were impressed by it the moment they stepped out from the cars. It was not a small café at all. By estimation it was almost 250 square meters in area including the parking area, the cozy outdoor coffee area and has two floors. They were then guided inside and to the second floor that was reserved for them.
The first floor was packed with people and their arrival was particularly eye-catching especially the man who was walking beside Kazandra. The woman could feel the gazes directed towards them but she maintained her smile.
The food counter was filled with a variety of dishes ranging from seafood to meat and vegetables. There were also all kinds of deserts they could choose from. At Kazandra’s signal, all members from each side rushed to get their food.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Please come this way,” a waiter walked up to Kazandra and Vega. They were led to a separate table that was prepared for them beforehand where a woman was already waiting for them. Evos was also invited.
“This is Ravina, the manager of this café and one of my most talented people. If you need anything and couldn’t reach me, you can always rely on her.” Kazandra introduced the woman.
Ravina smiled and shook hands with them. “Rumors and photos couldn’t justify how handsome the CEO of Empire is.” She immediately praised the man to which the man could only nod.
“As I have told you,” Kazandra looked proud, “so better set your eyes on someone else or you might lose this job.”
Ravina laughed and shook her head. “Alright, this fine young man beside him isn’t that bad either.”
