Chapter 21

Ace cleared his throat to neutralize his expression, grimacing a little seeing the door of Theresia's house that was damaged because of his actions. Don't blame Ace, because an Alpha is never wrong.

"I'm sorry, I'll tell the pack members to replace it with a new one. You just calm down," said Ace still with a smile, believe me he doesn't feel guilty.

Theresia crossed her arms in front of Ace, she doesn't like someone who throws her responsibility. "Are they the ones who broke my door?" he asked with a forced smile.

Ace shook his head like a small child who was scolded by his mother, then he said, "No, but..."

"So who is responsible for all of this?" Theresia spoke again, but now her gaze became sharp.

Ace let out a rough breath, happily nodding. "Okay, I will fix it myself. But let me ask them for help," he said still in a soft tone. If it wasn't because Theresia was his mate, Ace wouldn't have been so gentle.

Even Smith who was in Ace's body, was surprised by Ace's sudden gentle behavior with girls. All this time, all the werewolves only knew that Ace was one of the most cruel and heartless Alphas, but the fact is that he still lost to his own mate. .

While Lilia who was silent earlier now sat next to Theresia, laughing lightly. She had just realized that Ace was a werewolf, that's why Lilia burst out laughing seeing a werewolf looking cute in front of her friend. " said Lilia with a laugh, "what did you use to make it like that?"

A blow landed right on Lilia's shoulder, from who else but Theresia.

"Shut up, Lilia. What are you talking about, he's just a strange man who claims to be my mate," answered Theresia with an annoyed snort, remembering how Ace behaved from the beginning when they first met, especially when Ace easily stole his first kiss.

Lilia's brow furrowed, she looked at Theresia while supporting her chin. "Wouldn't it be great if you were a werewolf's mate?" he said with a small smile. Then Lilia raised her two index fingers, and joined them in the middle. Saying, "You two will be the strongest couple of all time, Ace is a werewolf and you are a holy blood girl!"

"You think it's that easy to accept a stranger? My life is already complicated, I don't want my life to get more complicated because of dealing with immortal beings," said Theresia, she rolled her eyes lazily in response to her annoying friend.

"Theresia, you should stay alive. It's good if you're close to Ace, someone will protect you from Aiden and the other vampires. Trust me, you gave Ace a chance," Lilia said. I don't know why she suddenly favors Ace.

Theresia pondered, what Lilia said was indeed true. Then, should Theresia try to accept Ace in her life? Can Theresia call all this destiny?

"Hey stupid man! Come here!" shouted Lilia.

Soon after, Ace was initially busy watching over his men who were replacing the door, now turned to look at Lilia while raising one eyebrow. Then said, "Who are you calling?"

"Of course you are!" Lilia replied curtly.

Ace chuckled, feeling like he wanted to strangle the woman next to Theresia. But he didn't because he remembered that he was Theresia's best friend. Ace also walked over to Lilia with an irritated heart.

"What's wrong?" asked Ace with a straight face.

"Mmm... I don't think Theresia is in a good mood, why don't you guys go for a walk?" Lilia replied looking at Theresia and Ace alternately.

Theresia gaped, not understanding her best friend's thoughts. Why should it be with Ace? Theresia really wanted to hit Lilia's brain right now. "Lilia! Are you..." he said to protest, but his words were forced to stop when Lilia covered his mouth.

"Shhh... Don't talk too much, Theresia. Go with Ace, I know you are very sad because of what happened. earlier," said Lilia pulling Theresia up from her seat, then pushed Ace and Theresia out of the house.

"Go there, I will watch over Ace's friends until the door is repaired!" shouted Lilia smiling mockingly at Theresia.

While the victim could only sigh in resignation, Theresia closed her eyes to suppress her emotions. Sometimes his own best friend makes his blood boil.

"Damn Lilia!" Theresia cursed angrily.

As for Ace, of course he was happy to have some alone time with Theresia. The smile did not fade from Ace's handsome face. "Okay, how about we take a walk to the park?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Whatever," said Theresia briefly, then she walked ahead of Ace.

On the other hand, Lilia was seen peeking at the two of them behind the window. He smiled at Theresia, then said, "I hope that Ace can protect you until the end, Theresia. I don't know how long I can last beside you, I'm sure one day I will have the same fate as your family." Lily closed her eyes. "Adnan will definitely kill me someday," he continued with a forced smile.

Back to Ace and Theresia who were walking around the garden, lots of flowers and clear sky made Theresia's mood better.

"Ace, why are you being nice to me?" In between the silence, Theresia chirped. His eyes were still busy staring at the beautiful expanse of the sky.

Ace smiled in response to Theresia's question, he replied, "There is only one reason, because you are my mate. You are destined for me, then do I have to be bad with someone? who was destined for me?

Hearing that answer, made Theresia stop her steps. She turned to look at Ace, this time there was no sharp gaze. Only the shady look Theresia gave, she remembered Lilia's words earlier. Should Theresia give it a chance. Ace came into his life?

"Can I believe everything you say? You're not aiming..." Theresia's words stopped suddenly Ace pulled her into his arms.

Not to show the romantic side, Ace did that because he was surprised by someone's attack suddenly aiming at Theresia.

Blam. ..

The attack missed and hit the tree behind them both, suddenly Ace grabbed Theresia's shoulder and said, "Are you okay?"

Theresia who was still shocked could only nod and blinked a few times. .

"Hand over the holy-blood woman!" Someone shouted making Ace and Theresia's eyes shift.

"Holy blood?" Ace asked quietly, of course he knew about the history of holy blood. But before that he didn't believe it. if there is someone who has holy blood, but now his mate is the owner of holy blood?
