Veira Point of View

'How dare –'

'How dare they are to make uncle-ish Cazacu to make our uncle! Incorrigible!'

'Did you think I would react like this?' How come I was blessed with such a dramatic wolf!

Not only did this she-badness trick me into spending a lot of my money for making a bath tub of some dreary solution to take a bath, she also had the gall to taunt me.

More than the rumors that are running wild in the office, I'm worried about how my wolf took the news.

If there is one thing that my wolf isn't, then it is kind. She never takes matter regarding our mate lightly then how the hell is she so relaxed when we are being assumed to be the blood family of our own mate?

'Dea'

'Yes, Veira'

'Did you lock your heart on another bank?'

'I still have it in the bank Goddess gave us.'

'Then why are not angry with the rumors?'

'Are you?'

'Of course I am'

'Why?'

'Well, because – umm – you know –'

'No I don't. I only know about cosmetics; others, I don't care so please enlighten me.'

'He – he is our – No, you tell me why you are not concerned.'

'I'm blindingly beautiful, sexier than our enemy cat, can make the Goddess envy me. Yes, in terms of looks I surpass even Aphrodite but I still have a primal heart wild and kinky.'

'Your point, Dea.'

'The point is, I don't mind uncle stuff. Also, why would I care what people out there think when it isn't true at all. Our mate is much older than us and that is exactly the reason I feel 20% extra lightening in my tummy for him. He is like a packet of lays without air.'

'But you should worry.'

'Huh?'

'I'm an animal so I don't mind many human rules but you are a human and so is our mate. What if this rumor takes our mate away from you? What if one day our mate really sees you as his niece? What if you water a rose for him in your heart and he waters a lilac for you in his heart? But then again, it's alright since you don't have any special feeling for him.'

When did my wild wolf starting speaking mild words?

Is this the end of the world?

But her words did hit the spot. I might look like I don't care but I do. He is my mate after all and a rumor such as this would put a huge roadblock on our path to future.

Then I wonder if I expect a future with him only because I'm destined to be with him or it could be something more than that.

Cazacu – is a good man. He is arrogant and loves to put my patience to test every given chance but he does take care of me without asking for anything in return.

He is responsible and dutiful.

He is like a rainbow that is bent on to show his true colors to me.

However, my opinion on him is purely a spectator and friendly one. I've done whatever I did to entice him until today was all because Dea wanted me to. Not everything came from my heart.

I never wished to entice him or make him fall for me madly.

Nonetheless this rumor did show a mirror of my heart to me. I'm stubborn but I'm not blind. I can see that the rumor has affected me on personal grounds.

Not because he is predestined to me, not because Dea said otherwise or not because the fate that has a control over us; my disgust over the thought of becoming any other family other than that tied by knots was because I did not like it.

Few days under the same roof as him, bickering with him, spending time with him, he did gain a score from me.

But is it anything more than a friendly feeling?

Yes it is because right this moment, I feel like I can cut those hands into piece and barbeque them to my wolf as a full moon gift.

There stood Elder Cazacu, in his white lab coat, in the refreshments lobby, holding a certain lady's hands in his, with a smile on his face, with his teeth on display, with his hair brushed by breeze, with his eyes crinkled at her, with his stance relaxed, with audience admiring them from afar, with new rumors floating like water demons, all the while with that man making a sincere scene of himself.

I cleared my throat and by the looks of the people around me, they must've seen murder written on my face that they immediately scurried away to their posts. The main hero and the heroine of today's sincere scene turned to me slowly with smiles as if they are endorsing toothpaste.

"Veira, come here." I adorned my usual indifference when I reached them.

I cannot show my real emotions to them, now can I?

This girl looks a few years older to me; must be in her late twenties roughly. She is considered beautiful if I have to say.

'Beautiful? From which angle? Her side view from before was already like a remake of chunky. Her front side is a complete upgrade of Annabelle. David must be regretting somewhere for taking a doll as the protagonist when there is a living version of haunted mummified fermented skin wearing human.'

Dea's narcissism can make even Angelina Jolie ugly beside her. I can't with this wolf.

'I thought you didn't care.'

'I don't care about him being older to us, not that older butt smooching an older stinking tofu.'

"Veira, this is Fragrance, Mr. Miller's niece. We kind of grew up together and are good friends." Elder Cazacu is brimming with laughter and excitement while introducing stinking tofu to me.

I think Dea is right.

'Miller and family are indeed powerful to know the baby girl would stench in future to name her fragrance. I kind of admire their family skills of balancing things.'

Ouch! If stinking tofu hears this, she would choose to suicide in a spoonful of water.

Sometime even I find Dea words pretty savage and hurtful.

"Fragrance, this is Veira –" How I want to kick this man's butt for showing those dimples for her.

"Your niece." No she did not.

She did not just say that out.

"I am not –" The indifference started melt down when I heard those cursing words. I want to hold her hair, pull them out of their roots, make a doll with it and perform dark arts under her name.

My emotions seem to be heightened today especially maybe because it's a full moon tonight.

But that is not even the hint of complete anger I felt because the real challenge came afterwards when my dear mate chuckled casually with her when she spoke those words.

How dare he encourage the phenomenon of being a –

'Dea, I feel searing heat on every inch of my skin.'

'That's my anger which is better than yours because you are boiling me in earth's core lava. I'm already ashes now and this is my AI subconscious talking to you.'

This she wolf is such an extra sometimes!

Gulping down the absolute fury flying inside me wildly, I forced a smile on my lips with a greeting in return.

"Such a cute kid she is, Valeriu." She fawned over me as she took my anger to another universe by pinching my cheeks.

Dea growled like she has a serious case of throat infection. That was like the extreme case of her growl until this day.

"Indeed she is." Followed as he pinched my cheeks next.

I AM NOT A KID. I CAN PROVE IT IN MANY WAYS!

"I'm not a kid." I scowled causing her laugh out loud saying all kids say the same. If murder is a person then it would be me at that moment.

How the hell is he not giving a clarification on our relationship? He doesn't know about the mate thing but he can at least refuse the rumors.

"I'm Veira Dea Lupus, the founder, owner, chairperson and Managing director of VIBE." Stench snickered, leaving traces of her name in air.

"You?" Her disbelief amalgamated with mirth pushed a nail into my ego.

"Yes and I am not his – " Before I finish it, Cazacu pulled me to him by my arm and whispered.

"Why are you so annoyed today?" Is he really asking me that?

Oh how I want to push a bomb into him mouth.

"What do you mean why? They think you are my uncle." I'm not wrong. I know I'm not. That is his attempt to stop himself from making fun of me.

He is biting his lips to stop himself from being a monster at heart.

I hate him.

"So let them." Is the cause of this change in him because of stench?

"Hey, Valeriu, do you remember when you were ten, you said you would marry me and have a cute baby girl like this kid?"

And that was the last thread of patience she successful broke loose.

Valeriu Ion Cazacu, you are a dead meat now!
