Slaved To The Alpha

“Oh…, I don’t quite know yet, but I was thinking that I should leave as soon as I get back from the Annual Pack Gathering, you know, like a grand disappearance.” I am ecstatic and am actually excited to come back from the Annual Pack Gathering.

He looked dejected and concerned about my plans, almost as if he wanted to say something but he couldn’t. “Do you have to go? I mean, you could always stay here if you want.”

He tried to offer me something that I almost couldn’t resist, but I knew what I had to do, I had to be alone, find myself without anyone’s help.

Fravis already knows that I just put up with the Alpha family, and yet, he still wants me to stay, what is going on with him?

Grant’s POV

The night of the stupid Annual pack gathering is almost here, I want to get out of there as fast as I could, but since I was forced to host this stupid Annual Pack Gathering, I am not exactly left with much of a choice, I have to move on and just take one for the team.

“Grant? Um.. Where are these lights supposed to be placed at?” Someone is calling my name, and the moment I turned around, it is one of the organizers that were hired to make the whole preparation and putting together the whole venue of the Annual Pack Gathering. I was just there to supervise them, to make sure that everything is in order, as it should be. But most of the people working there are either too stupid to follow a simple order or just not competent enough to even remember the exact plans for the layout of the venue.

“Argh… I told you earlier, didn’t I? Those light are to be place in the middle of the floor to make sure that a spotlight is available at a moment’s notice, I don’t care about this stupid Annual Pack Gathering, but it looks like you don’t care about what the guests might think, do you?” I told him in a serious tone of voice, I want him to remember what I said, so I made sure that he won’t forget it ever again.

I am so much amused by his scared face and his shaking body as he tries to respond to what I just told him. “Y-Y… Yes Grant! I’m so sorry I asked you! I’ll get back to fix the lightings now!” He told me in a nervous voice as she bolted out of my face as fast as he could, I like to impose my authority on people that actually makes me irritated, and not higher than me.

I am currently walking around the venue to check the things that could’ve easily gone wrong without any supervision at all, like the people in charge inside of the kitchen, if the food is not great when they served it, I will be the one everyone would be talking about since they all know that I am hosting the entire event all by myself.

Even if I never want to be here in the first place, I feel like everything is on the line for me, everything has to be perfect to meet everyone’s expectations on me and the event.

After checking every possible thing that could actually go wrong, I personally made sure that they are all either perfect or close to being perfect.

I am walking around the venue a couple of more times, then I see someone I know, she is with a group of women as well. They are working on the decorations of the venue, and they are all doing a fine job, too. But there was someone who caught my eye, it was Mabelle.

She saw me staring at them while they put up decorations, the moment she saw me, she approached me and left the other girls. “Hey! How are you doing? Long time no see huh?” Mabelle said to me with that high pitched voice of hers, I knew what she was trying to do.

“Yeah, long time no see, I didn’t exactly think that you would be here.” I just told her what I was thinking as it slipped out of my mouth.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Mabelle is a woman that I used to date, we were tight and close as well. But I don’t know what happened between us, but all of that’s over now and I’ve moved on, I just hope that she has as well.

“So how’s everything going? You’re doing fine? Are you seeing anyone new or…?” She asked me without any hesitation at all, it was like she just threw a huge bomb onto my face and I couldn’t react fast enough and it just exploded right into my face.

“Huh? Oh… I’m not seeing anyone at the moment, but I am also not trying to find anyone else at the moment.” I knew where she was getting at, Mabelle wouldn’t just ask that question out of nowhere, but despite me wanting to get out of her sight as fast as possible, I am not trying to be rude to her at all. I respect our past relationship since we actually shared some memories together, having fun, and love. But that’s all it is to me, a memory, it was fun while it lasted, but I’ve moved on already, and she must move on as well.

“Really? Th-That’s great!” She told me with enthusiasm in her voice as she looked like she was stalking me right from the start, the moment she saw me here. She looked relieved when she heard me say I wasn’t seeing anyone, she totally ignored the fact that I didn’t want to see anyone at the moment.

“I’ll see you later, then. I still have to check out the other parts of the venue, they might have messed up their work. Go back to what you were doing earlier, it was really nice to see you again.” I told her with a charming smile on my face, I want to get out of there as soon as I can.

The moment I left her, when I turned my head to look at Mabelle one more time, she was smiling, like a sadistic criminal that had just gotten their prey. She looked like she was plotting something for me, but I didn’t look much into it.
