1283 Words
"How is your father, Alpha Austin, Ija? Alpha Xander asked.( Brix and Jack's father) while they were at the table having dinner.
Carla looked up at the elderly man and smiled slightly.
"Well, he was doing well, in fact he sent his greetings to you, father."
"He is telling you not to worry, he will visit you soon when he has the chance."
Carla answered politely.
"I'm happy to hear that. It's been a while since we last saw each other.
"Is that so?
Carla looked at Jack who was just quietly eating next to her.
She was unsure if she should say what was on her mind. But nothing in her personality will sympathize with what other people will think and feel.
She sighed quietly and completely let go of the cutlery she was holding.
After wiping her mouth, she looked back at the old man.
"Erm, as if there's something in her throat but there's absolutely nothing.
"I almost forgot, my father just had a business deal with Alpha Brix.
"He is also expressing his gratitude to you because he admires Brix so much.
Jack stopped eating.
So did his father, who seemed to have lost his appetite.
"Is there a problem? Did I say something wrong? She asked a question but she already knew the answer.
The old man wiped his mouth before he let out a heavy breath.
Jack, on the other hand,who pretended not to hear anything, frowned in silence and just waited for what his father would say.
"Well," I haven't seen my son Brix in a long time now, but I'm happy to hear that news.
Jack stared at his father as if observing whether he was happy or angry.
Although his father's smile was forced, Jack knew that he was happy with the news.
There is nothing that the old man will not be happy about when it comes to Brix.
Jack's eyes narrowed with annoyance the moment he took his eyes off his father.
"Erm, I'll go ahead anyway."
Get some rest. I know your trip today is tiring.
"Yes we will, good night father."
Carla said with a smile, standing up from her seat.
Meanwhile, when his father completely disappeared from their sight, Jack also left the table.
"Jack? He heard Carla's voice but didn't even bother to look at her.
From there he went to his room.
It had been a very long day for him, a lot had happened.
He let out a heavy sigh after loosening the maroon necktie around his neck.
He sat quietly on the edge of the bed with his elbows resting on his knees.
"Brix, I didn't expect the two of us to meet again.
He whispered in his mind. His sharp gaze was still there in his eyes even though it was pure darkness in front of him.
Today he witnessed how Brix stole people's attention from him and, because of that, the anger in his chest flared up again.
And that increased even more when he overheard the conversation between Carla and her mother.
He had all heard how jealous Carla was because Brix didn't end up going to be hers.
Luna Mathilda ; "Can you calm down! What the heck is your problem? Shouldn't you be happy because you will finally be with your mate?
Carla; "Mate my foot!"
"We both know that he is not my mate. You just reconciled the two of us."
Luna Mathilda; "Don't you like him? He comes from a wealthy pack as well.
Carla; "But not the richest and most powerful.
Although he and Carla both don't like each other, he can't help being annoyed because he feels that Brix will always outdo him.
He will always be rejected because of his brother.
There was a heavy layer on his chest that he couldn't remove but only increased every time he remembered how small he was in everyone's eyes compared to his brother.
He turned to the door of the room when he caught the strong smell of Carla.
It wasn't bad, but it didn't smell good to him either.
Later, he heard her voice followed by knocking on the door.
"Jack?
He looked down at the dark floor under his feet as he ran his fingers over his face up to his head.
"Jack, I'm coming in.
Carla added.
Followed by a faint cry from the opened door.
"Jack, what are you doing? Why is it dark?
Carla asked one after another that Jack was almost a shadow in her sight due to the darkness of the room.
Carla approached the wall next to the door to see where the light switch was.
"Where is it?
She whispered as she was looking for that thing to light up the room, not knowing that Jack was already standing behind her.
It was too late when she realized the smell
hovering over her.
She was stunned when Jack from behind her stopped her hands from touching whatever she was groping on the wall.
It was like there was air stuck in her throat. She couldn't move, then she just heard the door being closed.
She could feel Jack's warm body pressed against her back.
She may not like this man, but since this is the first time she got close like this to a man, she feels an electric current running through her body.
She had no intention of appealing against whatever happened next.
She just let one of Jack's hands crawl around her waist and one was slowly going up to her chest but before it could reach its destination, her hands stopped it.
She was about to turn around to face him.
But she wasn't able to do that.
Jack stopped her body from moving.
He wants it this way.
"Jack, let me see you.
She said almost in a whisper as she felt the tickle caused when Jack lowered his face to her neck.
"Just stay still."
Jack whispered in her ear while her hands were busy exploring every curve of her body. She didn't even realize that Jack's hands had been under her clothes.
A very warm feeling flowed through her when she felt his tongue on her neck.
It seemed he was preparing to do something and what it was, was already in the corner of Carla's mind.
She was afraid of having that idea but it looks like she's right.
"Not so soon, Jack, please not now please-"
"Uhmp-"
A stifled scream escaped her throat when Jack quickly covered her mouth.
Jack's sharp fangs dug into her shoulder, and the excitement she felt just now ended up just like that.
It was endlessly painful. It makes her eyes water in tears.
She is not innocent when it comes to these things because she has friends who share their experiences of how their mates claim them. And based on their story, it should be lustful and painfully good. It was a wonderful experience of mating.
It shouldn't be painfully bad alone.
When Jack's sharp fangs dug into her shoulder, the excitement she felt at every move he made ended so soon and it didn't get any deeper because, after Jack pulled out his fangs that were buried in her, Jack immediately moved away from her.
This man had no other plan to do but to claim her.
Carla fell, sitting on the floor.
And it's like she fell for a bait and was obviously the loser.
Her tears fell as she stared into the dark void.
She was left alone in the dark room when she heard the door open and close at the same time as Jack's smell disappeared in the air.
