Gathering Information
One of the men suddenly came in front of Adriana and me. He was shirtless and good-looking.
“Madam, Wren, may I have this dance with you?” he asked with a smile. And the song Careless Whisper suddenly played. It made me feel awkward. I wanted to decline him without offending him.
“Gideon, you are married. I saw your wife just went to the toilet. Why won’t you wait for her to come back and dance Careless Whisper with her? I think it will be appropriate. Leave Senorita, Wren, alone,” Adriana said.
“Oh! Adriana, why did you tell her that I am married? Now, I lost my chance with her,” Gideon said but laughed.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“My friend, stop fooling around. Don’t make Katana upset and bite you later. You know how aggressive she can be when jealous.”
“Yeah! I better watch out. See you, then.”
Adriana was shaking and laughing when Gideon left. “That guy still acts like he is a bachelor. It drives Katana crazy.”
“I could understand that for a wife. I was about to tell him no, good thing you saved me.” I said.
“Oh, I have seen the look in your eyes. I could tell it made you uncomfortable. We are used to Gideon that we can just joke with him, but I know it’s something new for you.”
“Thank you, Adriana. I really don’t know what I will tell him.”
“No problem! Now, let’s talk about something else. If you don’t mind me asking, my mom told me that your parents died and you got separated from your brother. Is that true?”
“It is. The alpha of my pack, Conri, ordered to have us killed if I did not agree to be his mate.”
“That is cruel of him! How could he? Finding a mate is not by force.”
“I know, but sadly, our new alpha thinks otherwise.”
“I am so glad that Alpha Reule has saved you. It would be best for you to be here. He is not like that. He is a good alpha.”
I wanted to tell Adriana that your alpha is asking for my body to repay him. How reasonable is that? But I know that Reule is different from them. I don’t know if maybe because I don’t really belong here that makes him treat me like that.
After 30 minutes, Reule returned, declaring the end of tonight’s run and bonfire. He wants everyone to help and clean the surroundings. After which, we can all go to sleep.
Everybody agreed and started tidying up. Some gathered the thrash and threw it. Some clean the tables and chairs and put them back to their proper location. I have never seen such teamwork that it amazes me.
As for me, I helped Adriana and Nana Lolita gather all the leftovers and place them on the fridge. I was surprised that there were still leftovers when they were a big pack. Then, I thanked Nana Lolita, and Adriana before heading to my room to sleep.
I was lying on my bed when I heard footsteps and the door in the next room opened. Then, I listened to a woman’s giggle and spoke in a voice that I could hear from the next room.
“How have you been, Alpha Reule? It’s been six months since the last time I saw you,” she said.
At first, I thought it was Lila, but because she said it’d been six months since they had seen each other, then it was a different woman. How many women does this guy have? Is it going to be different every night? I wondered.
“I am not too bad, Gia! So, what do you have for me?” Reule answered.
“Well, I heard yesterday that you needed to have some information about the White Pack. Is that true?”
“Yes!”
I sat on the bed immediately when I heard that.
“Why is Reule gathering information from my pack?” I whispered.
I moved slowly near the wall to hear what they were talking about. I need to know what Reule is up to.
“As what I have heard, you wanted to know if they are still in search of Wren, the run-away she-wolf of their pack.”
“That is correct! And?”
“They still are. The beta of their pack, Casper, was my customer last night. He got drank and started spilling some details. Conri, their alpha, drives him crazy, searching for that shewolf. Until now, he could still not find her, and he still doesn’t know the identity of the one who helped her. He could not understand what Conri wants with her when he is not even that interested in having her as a mate.”
“Are you sure he still doesn’t know who saved her or where she is?”
“I am a hundred percent sure because that is why he was drinking. He got stressed from the unsuccessful search. He wanted to forget about it and enjoy it for just a few hours. And I did a great job!”
“I know you did, Gia! But I thought you didn’t want to come back here because you hate most of the people here, even the place.”
“I still do! I came here for the reward and to see you.”
“You don’t get left out when it comes to rewarding. I will have the $2, 000 transferred later tonight or tomorrow morning. Is it still the same bank account?”
“Sure it is! But why do you need to know all this shit? Since when did you even care of what is going on with the other pack, especially the White Pack?”
“Let’s just say that maybe I will own that run-away she-wolf someday.”
“As a what? Your toy? Haven’t you had a lot to play with already?”
“I feel it’s not enough.”
“But I thought you like a wolf. That one can only partly transform; she is almost like a human, like me. You did not like me for that reason and because I am a prostitute.”
“Maybe I can help her transform in exchange for her being mine.”
“Oh, you are so naughty! You uncontented with how many ladies you are messing with.”
“You know I get bored easily.”
“That’s why I like you.”
They both laughed.
“But, Alpha Reule, you still owe me from last time. Have you forgotten?”
“Oh, yeah! You said if in case you helped me again, you want to spend a night with me.”
“Damn, right! I wanted to have a taste of the famous Alpha Reule. How are you different from the other wolves I have a bed with?”
Reule laughed and said, “You know me, Gia. I am generous, so I will not say no if that is one of your wishes. Let me make it come true.”
“I am glad I am wearing the perfect lingerie for tonight.”
“Show me.”
What is Reule really planning to do? Is he that desperate to have me as one of his toys to play this prostitute? I thought.
