Veira Point of View

What a right time to do this!

Just the perfect timing to make romantic rendezvous, if you wish to! Note the sarcasm!

"It's a custom, you say?" Dan nodded affirmatively, as politely and curtly he can. But he does seem a little scared of me than how he was too confident and offensive in the first.

"It happens every year, Miss Lupus."

"Then why are we going where Fragrance Miller wanted us to? I am the boss here; shouldn't I finalize the destination for our small workshop program for the employees?" Why? Why the hell is she given the decision making opportunity?

I am the boss here. Fake or not, I still am!

Dan mustered up to mask his amusement before replying back to me. "You are right but this time boss wants Ms. Miller to choose a destination."

Of course!

"You see, they were childhood sweethearts. They do say they are only friends but onlookers can definitely see the sparks flaring up between them." Love can do that, I suppose.

Sparks, as we speak of, can be a great drive to link two people.

"You think your boss love her?" I'm not doubting it. As a matter of fact, I can feel their friendship but not the love. That doesn't mean she has the same feelings for Cazacu too.

"They come in time now that they would be spending time together again. Boss could easily discard Miller but it was because of his likes on his niece that Miller is safe now."

"How romantic. As old as your boss is, he seems to still have some wet patches between his thighs. Alright, we'll go by her plan and see what makes him so drawn to her." Don't show your true feelings, Veira!

You can maintain your composure and control your sentiments from showing it to others.

Dan, on the other hand, is really a brave person for snorting at me. "For a record, Miss Lupus, one would think you are jealous."

J-jea-jealous!

You must be kidding me!

"Jealous of what? I'm not jealous." I confirmed it firmly.

"Yes you are"

'Yes you are'

Dan and Dea must have formed a new mind link alliance for speaking in unison.

I am not jealous!

Sadly, even I didn't believe those words. But am I going to let me know it? No. Definitely not!

One glare as sharp as a big needle nailing to him, he shut his mouth right away and walked out of the room giving me his greeting.

I was preparing to tell my secret to him tonight but the night proceeded with me worshipping the Goddess alone.

Ah, there was Aunt Veira who kept me company thankfully. At least, she is not like her master who change on parties so sinuously.

Three days, the past three days filled our home and office with Fragrance and Cazacu together. If nbot physically, the talks about the both made up.

Elder Cazacu even spent good time in talking to stench on phone when we were at home. At one point, I wanted to go to him and hit him with a reality check that I live in the same house and he shouldn't bring unnecessary stuff to our abode like he wants.

Dea is equally enraged by the stench that seems to be leaving its traces of bad smell on Elder Cazacu and he seems to be worshiping it.

The day of the trip arrived sooner than expected. The arrangements are well taken care under the supervision of stench.

She arranged a huge travel bus that could fit the whole team and I being the boss, I decided to travel with them instead of taking my own vehicle.

I took a window seat in the middle with my next seat still empty. Many employees avoided sitting beside me with respect or fear, doesn't matter.

Good for them because with the condition I'm in, I might turn into my wolf and feed them with wolf venom.

Stench took a window seat as well just diagonal to mine as she passed me a grand glittery smile. I refuted her with a polite one before turning to the other side. Only seats beside me and her are empty in the whole bus by the time Elder Cazacu and Dan stepped inside.

Elder Cazacu went to stench as expected and was about to sit beside her when Dea's control almost broke and growled out lowly and dangerously.

Dea can be pretty wild when it comes to our mate. So am I!

I don't know if it was because he heard the growl or was it the pricking glare that he sensed on his back, he backed away from her.

Almost in a frightening quick steps, he came to me and sat beside me, gesturing Dan to fill the seat beside stench.

'Good for him. I almost wiped that woman off the human history.'

I couldn't support my wolf more.

'Spoken like a true wild animal for the first time.'

"You good there, kid? You look – red." I choked on my breath when I heard him close in my ear. His tone held amusement with a hint of hoarse border around.

Heck, I even felt his nose touch my ear slightly!

Oh, I wasn't expecting this attempt of sudden intimacy. The first thing he spoke properly with me after stench hijacked his attention was surely filled with closeness.

"I – am. I am." I stuttered giving him a slight nod. I didn't even spare a glance at him worried that he could see me disarmed.

"Oh, now you are pink." There he goes again, whispering in my ear as if he was –

Nevermind! He got me.

"Where are we going, Ms Miller? You should disclose the location now at least." One of the employees hollered followed by the series of 'yes'.

"Alright Alright, we are going to a camping site." As expected. Camping site, nothing interesting. " in the Northern plains." That got me choke so badly that I almost coughed for straight four minutes.

Elder Cazacu tapped me on my back as he tried to pacify me but it cannot be pacified so easily.

'His childhood sweetheart is planning our funeral in the hands of Northern plains wolves. Made for each other, aren't they, Dea?'

'See, I told you we should've taken care of her the moment she laid her hands on her mate.'

"Here, water." He opened a bottle of water for me. I looked at him before gulping it down in one go.

Why the hell would she choose Northern plains of all the places?

"Thank you." I muttered back to him as the cough came to a halt.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you. What am I for?"

"Huh?" Wow! He has good knack for making my heart skip a beat with simple words.

'You realized it now? He has always been good at making us go crazy with his smooth buttery words. Look who says they are not in love.'

"I said, I'll take care of you if you are not feeling well, kid." He smiled giving me a heated look.

He changed!

Somehow he did. He is suddenly bold and initiative!

"I'm fine. I can take care of myself well."

"Of course you can undoubtedly but I still worry about you."

"Why?"

"You should know the answer yourself." He said leaving me with a maze to solve all by myself.

'Our mate is behaving like Aloe Vera gel, cool and sneaky. I agree, he is behavior is strange towards us.'

'I told you so. It is as if he is playing a pull and push game with us.'

'And for some reason we both like it. I can feel the dragons flying in your stomach when our mate was being all smooth and seductive with us.'

'Well, that's the person I – ' I cleared my throat leaving her to presume it herself.

'You love. I know. You are still reluctant to say those words out.'

'You know I didn't do love.'

'Didn't, now you do.'

'I – don't.' Even I don't believe my words with the way they came out.

'Yet, here you are, enjoying his touch and smell by the way you are almost burying your nose into him skin.'

The bus started with hollers and hoots reflecting how my heart is from the moment Cazacu has been feeling me up with a motive of pacifying my cough.

"So, you and –" I started, ignoring the loud singing and claps coming from around.

"I and?" I can clearly see the pattern of provocation and jollity on his face.

"How are you and Fragrance going?" Heck, even I can smell jealousy from me.

"Good, as usual."

Oh, I can see that.

"What if she is not the one for you?"

"If not her, then who is?" He asked as a matter of fact yet he sounded serious.

Is he really serious about her? Impossible! The mate bond between us will surely not let him get interested in someone woman when I'm around.

"You know, there might be someone out there, who is made only for you and who is waiting for you."

Hearing me, he held my hand in his and touched it to his lips. I'm stumped by his confusing actions when he claims to being going out with stench but here he is kissing my hand.

"Is she now? Hmm, what makes you think Fragrance is not the one?"

"Eew, she doesn't deserve someone like you." Cazacu is a wonder and I believe it.

He narrowed his eyes at me, giving me a smirk as he patted my head gently.

"Oh? Then who does? You?"

I can't even say yes to him on his face.

God knows how I will handle the northern plains and a desert of stench with Cazacu all at the same time!

"Don't worry, you do." His cryptic words left me hanging yet again.

What does he mean by that?
