But my Beta… He wasnt rejoicing with me.
He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.
“What is it now? Do you still feel I shouldn’t start with this?”
I’m not saying you shouldn’t, Alpha Argon, but you know very well that you can’t carry this out without the consent of the council members. They don’t know about your plan to leave your Luna.”
“Ex-Luna, “I corrected, having an iota of disgust for that title being used on Brielle.

Amidst my plans, I didn’t include the council members, forgetting that their presence is very important, if I want gine and Estelles wedding to be a success.
Alpha Deron has no issue from his end. He knows how he’d talk to the council members of his pack, since they all dance to his tunes like puppets,
But mine is a different case.

It was weird, but I immediately took my eyes off her, facing my beautiful Estelle.
“Where’s the surprise, dear?” Estelle asked, getting all excited.
That’s when I grabbed the remote and turned on the screen, shitching it to one of the stations.
To everyone’s surprise and to my sweet Estelles, the news of my achievement came on, portraying me as the number one business man of the year.
When she saw this…
“YES! Estelle screamed out, jumping right on me for a big hug.
I laughed as she began kissing my face, congratulating me on my victory.
“I knew you could do it! Oh, I’m so happy for you my love. Congratulations!” She screamed, kissing me.
I was chuckling at her excitement, still having my arms wrapped around Estelle, hugging her close.

When I lifted my eyes while hugging Estelle close, it came falling on Brielle who still had her gaze on the TV, looking stunned at the news.
Her expression slowly drifted into a smile, which left me feeling… Unusual.
It looked… Beautiful?
She turned to face me, still twinkling at my success. But she couldn’t say a word. She just stood there, smiling.
When I saw this, my body came heating up, leaving me uncomfortable.
Quickly, I took my eyes off her, facing my Estelle once again.

As she wanted, Estelle made a special arrangement right in my mansion, to celebrate my success.

“Where is the new wine?” She questioned out to the maids who were standing aside, waiting to attend to our needs.
“You’re just standing there like poles. Who’s the person that went to…
“Its here,” Brielle’s voice came in.
I looked towards the corner that led to the kitchen and saw her hurrying with the wine Estelle sent for.
Her face dampen with sweat, hurrying to attend to us.
She has been working since Estelle started this arrangement. I’ve been seeing her in the kitchen with the other maids, working.
Now seeing her coming to serve our wine, felt disturbing
Is it because of how she fell over that punishment?
That should be the reason why I’m feeling this way towards her

Brielle turned to face me, looking surprised.
She glanced at our hands then at my face, before pulling away, stepping aside.
Her hand left mine, as well as that strong wave. But my body still had the feeling all around.
Tim sorry,” She apologized, exiting the room without looking back..
“Useless. She almost poured the drink on my Argon. That’s how clumsy she is, Estelle mocked, laughing along with her father.

I slowly closed my hand, still feeling
“What
was that?”
After the celebration, Alpha Deron left my home with Estelle. She promised to return tomorrow with something special for me, keeping me in suspense.
I was beginning to miss her presence, curious to know what she has planned to give me
“I’m sure it’s something lovely,” I assumed, walking down the stairs during the late hour of the night,
As I drew closer to the bottom of the stairs, my eyes caught sight of Brielle!
She was heading into the pathway with loads of clothes in her hands.
“Why is she still awake by this time?” I asked in curiosity, slowly following her from behind.
Bevelle stopped at one
one of the washrooms at the end of the hallway and went in.
CHAPTER 13
I drew clover and saw her settling 12 clothes down to wash.
“By this time?” I was astonished.
The clothes she placed down belonged to Extelle. She had left it behind, ordering Brille to wash them all.
No wonder she didn’t leave with her bags. She gave her clothes to Brielle to clea
Til start with the white then… No, let me start with the black. Or wall… The white? Brielle spoke to herself, trying to sort things out
I watched how she contemplated on what to do first, looking all stressed out.
The sight of this suddenly took my mind to all the work she has been doing lately.
“She did it all without complaining, and now she’s here washing Estelle’s clothes?”
Her petrified face when Estelle gave her a heart attack at the party, engulfed my thoughts.
And that feeling… It came from her, that’s for sure.
But what was that
Alpha? I heard Brielles voice.
I snapped out of my thoughts and found her staring at me in surprise,
She had seen me.
She quickly composed herself like the way the maids usually do whenever they see me, asking, “Do you need something?”
