“Ahh!! That’s because I had to hit two birds with one stone. My parents and my brother. The relationship between Lee and my dad wasn’t good when she decided to choose her mate’s side by going against everyone. And the other reason is that I wanted Colton to accept our mate. I mean, we are twins, so there is a high chance that we will have the same mate. Umm… so…”
“So, you used me to get your work done?” Ethlyn asked in disbelief.
“Not act like a saint. Your parents planned to use my parents against me. What did go wrong if I did the same?” Calvin asked, shrugging his shoulder.
“You are casual toward giving up on your fated mate. It makes me feel like you were planning this for a long. You can share with your other brother.” Ethlyn suggested.
“I don’t share, and my brother doesn’t have anything that I want. And I know he needs a mate more than me. And my wolf agrees to that part. So, we were ready to make that sacrifices from day one.” Calvin said.
‘Maybe Colton’s wolf is more dangerous than his. So, Alpha Calvin wants to give up on his mate for his brother.’ Ethlyn thought.
‘And that also means that we’re not going anywhere from Alpha Calvin’s life.’ Cinder finally spoke after a long time in excitement. ‘I was getting worried for nothing. We won’t get rejected by him.’ She added, howling happily.
Ethlyn didn’t say anything at that moment because she didn’t want to kill her wolf’s excitement but what she had learned from life was that the table of life could be turned anytime.

On the other side,
A woman wiped the blood from her lips; feeling pity for her situation, she spoke, “I hope to meet you soon, Mate.”

After an hour, “This diamond set is beautiful, isn’t it?” Calvin said. Now, they were in the jewelry store. Ethlyn felt that she didn’t belong there. All the people around were wearing damn too expensive and beautiful dresses, along with costly jewelry.
“Alpha… now it’s too much. I don’t want these all things.” Ethlyn whispered when she saw him buying the ninth set of jewelry of all different varieties and designs.
“These are for Rose when she will grow old. Until then, you can use it.” Calvin replied, winking at her. “All right, pack all these.”
“Sure, sir.” The salesman said, nodding his head.
“Washroom?” Calvin asked.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry, sir. The washroom in our store is under maintenance. The other washroom is on the same floor of the mall.” The salesman replied.
“Okay then. You can prepare the invoice. I will see you at the billing counter after a few minutes” Saying this, Calvin left there. And even the salesman left from there after giving her a small smile to her to get the bill prepared for the purchase.”
“Sir, one of the earnings of the diamond set is missing.” Ethlyn heard another saleswoman saying this to the store manager.
“What? How is this possible?” The manager hissed in anger, keeping his tone as low as he could. “Search it quickly; I don’t care how. Until then, I’m going to check the CCTV camera,” he said before leaving from there.
Ethlyn unintentionally heard the conversation and tried to hear the sound of the heartbeat of everyone present there to check if anyone had stolen that ring, but their heartbeats were normal. It looked like no one had stolen it.
At the same time, the other salesman was tense and had no idea how to search for that diamond earning. He didn’t have that much salary to pay the amount equal to the diamond earnings. He wanted to go and check every customer’s purse and bags, but they all looked like high-class people who could have gotten offended easily until his eyes were on Ethlyn, who was sitting at the place where Calvin had left her with a couple of shopping bags in her hand.
He quickly reached near her before speaking, “Excuse me.”
“Yes?”
“I have to check your shopping bags because we lost one earning of a diamond set. And it’s very costly.” He said rudely, looking at Ethlyn from top to bottom.
“You should be searching it where you lost it instead of coming near me and asking to check my bags,” Ethlyn said calmly and saw a couple of customers leaving the store. “And what is it? The other customers are leaving the store, and you want to check my bags.” She frowned after asking this.
“See, Ma’am, it depends on us to whom we want to check the bag and to whom we don’t want to.” The salesman explained. “I will request you to corporate instead of creating an issue.”
Ethlyn looked around and found everyone staring at her.
‘Do I look like a thief to them just because I don’t belong here?’ Ethlyn thought and sensed Calvin coming toward the store from the washroom. She didn’t want to create any scene and wanted to clear this mess before his arrival. Moreover, when she hadn’t done anything wrong, then why was she fighting with him? By thinking all this, she passed her shopping bags to him.
The salesman grabbed one of the bags and pulled out the dress from it.
‘Oh no!! He increased his speed.’ Cinder said in tension.
“These clothes are branded and expensive. Where is the bill of it?” The salesman asked, not able to believe that the woman in front of him could afford something this expensive. In the next moment, the salesman was found flying in the air because Calvin threw him forcefully in anger after snatching Ethlyn’s dress from his hand.
Ethlyn quickly grabbed Calvin’s arms to calm him down while everyone looked at him in shock. Thankfully that salesman landed on the sofa, arranged for customers to sit instead of anywhere else, and nothing happened to him.
