Chapter 14: Alpha Nathan

Alpha Nathan was in the study room getting ready for morning business. A knock came at his door, and he groaned before pressing the button to open the door.

"Good morning, Alpha King." Beta Kaden was greeted with a smile on his face.

"The one you had a smile on this morning, what's up?" he asked, taking a stare at him.

"White blood pack soldiers give up and return to their pack, but I already informed our soldiers that they should always keep their guard high because Marcus can't be trusted. And also, I had a chat with Is Beta. He begged me to stop the war and try to sort things out with him amicably" He cleared his throat.

"That sounds like a good bargain. If he can discuss with us, then maybe we could know what his problem is, and then we could settle things amicably"Alpha Nathan gulps down lumps.

"Yes, if he could be reasonable, because I don't see him turning back anytime soon, but Alpha, are you going to the company today again? Your marriage is a few days ahead; why don't you just stay home and relax?"Beta Kaden suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea, but bad enough that I am not going to sit back here when I have an unfinished contract to attend to. Me and Emma have been working really hard on the contract, and I can't wait to win it. This is the opportunity for my companies to go to the next level and also appreciate Emma's hard work. I can't take it for granted" he replied, arranging the books.

"Emma was lucky to be your assistant; she can see you all day, but Mia, I felt so sorry for her because she will only have to sit at home waiting for the both of you" Beta Kaden said, shaking his head in pity.

"What are you trying to intrigue? Are you saying I am going to give Emma attention that she deserves? She I understand it's business. And moreover she also have the business she's doing. So why would she sit home"" He asked with a frown.

"Sorry, I mean no harm, your majesty. But I thought she said she's going to stop immediately after your marriage" Beta Kaden said.

"What's your problem. Why are you pucknosing in my Affairs" He blasted him, with a frown.

"Sorry maybe I was trying to tell you it will be good if Emma also stop working as your PA immediately after marriage to keep the peace in the house. will leave now" he says, with his head slightly bow.

"I am not going to force aby of them to stop working. Because we are getting married doesn't mean they should give up on themselvesAlpha Nathan gulps down nothing.

"Sorry Alpha,I didn't mean any harm. I was just trying to know you opinion" He said, his voice shaky.

"Don't ever talk about this again, get my car ready" He ordered and he went out of his room without any other word.

Mia was checking through her marriage stuff with her maid when her mother came into the room. She ordered the maid to leave and sat down beside her, checking out the things with her. She scoffed, staring at her, knowing full well that her mother would not have shown up if she didn't have anything to say.

"This is really beautiful. Nathan really has a good taste sending you this" Her mother admire while checking the jewelries.

"Yes, that's why I love him more"She replied smiling.

"Hmmm" She hums.

"Mum, what's going on in your mind? she asked.

"I guess it was obvious that I wanted to speak with you, right?" She asked, and she nodded yes in reply.

"I know you too well. So it's so easy to figure out" she replied, arranging some of the stuff.

"How do you feel about your marriage?"she asked, and a bright smile lit her face.

"I am so excited that I am finally going to get married to the man of my dreams. My happiness knew no boundaries; I tried hiding my excitement, but I couldn't" she said, smiling.

"Maybe you were lying to yourself, Because I couldn't see any excitement, I know you very well; I know when you are excited or not. The sparkles I always felt around you seem to be missing." She said it, feigning a smile.

"You are right, I am not happy, not because I am getting married, but because I am going to share him with another lady. When I figured out a long time ago, I was less worried thinking that maybe one day destiny could change, it was obvious I was deceiving myself all along, nothing is going to change. I thought I could handle it, I thought I could accept the fate, but here I am heartbroken." She broke down in tears.

"I understand, my sweetheart" Her mother tapped her back.

Mum, is this going to be alright? I love Nathan so much, and I can't betray him because of the loyalty I have towards him. I don't know if I am doing the wrong thing by accepting his other mate" She cried on her shoulder.

"Yes, my daughter, you did the right thing. But considering the fact that marriage is for life, I don't know if this is right. But you should know that I will always support you, no matter what. I don't want you to be moody. I want to see those sparkles again. Moreover, you are soon going to leave us soon; why don't you let us enjoy this moment together before you finally leave me alone? You know I will miss you, right?" Her mother said, pouting her lips. She nodded her head, smiling.

"II will really miss you, mummy" They coaxed each other into a deep tight hug.

*******

After the presentation of the contract, all Nathan's business partners wished him a great day ahead before departing.

"You are getting married in just a few days. I thought you were supposed to be getting ready for the day." One of his business partners said it, and he scoffed. He's not a close friend but talking about his marriage makes him wonder what she's up to.

"You are right, but you know I can't miss this contract; it's very important, Emma tried her best to put all the things I presented into place. I can't just let her hard work go down the drain," He said.

"Do you mean your second mate? She's smart lady, though. I guess you are Lucky that you have such a lady wrapped around your figure. I really envy you. Mother Goddess really love you so much." He said so many good things about Emma smiling Lustfully, showing he was having some private crush on her, and Nathan was left with doubt and a little bit of jealousy, but he didn't want to ask him directly and just chuckled.

"My two mates are amazing and beautiful; I will be leaving now" He tried to excused himself..

"I will see you around some other time"The man said, stretching his hand for an hab shake.

."Sorry I think I don't want to see you around next time, Because I don't like speaking to someone who has crush on my Ladies"He rejected his handshake going into his car.
