Chapter 4 The new girls

  • Nigel was already foaming up when I got back to the club. "Do you want my dad looking for us, huh?"
  • I rolled my eyes. "Chill man. I'm here already". He glared at me and I laughed. "Come on, let's go"
  • He mumbled some words and finally take a step. I chuckled and followed him behind with Bella. The drive back to the packhouse was silent and I couldn't stop thinking about the girl I met at the club. I kinda like her vibes and she reminded me so much of someone I once knew. By the time we got to the packhouse, Declan, Nigel's father was already waiting for us. "How many times have I warned you both to stop keeping late nights?"
  • "I told ya" Nigel whispered and I chuckled
  • He walked towards us. "Went to the club again?. Did Nigel forced you to go this time?" He asked
  • I laughed. Even his dad knows how much a club freak he is. "No, no. We just went to have a little fun" I replied. Nigel sighed.
  • "Just get inside. And make sure you don't stay this late again". We nodded like babies. "Is that a promise". We nodded again. "Go, go inside. It's getting cold outside"
  • I rolled my eyes and we walked into the house. "Good night" I waved at Nigel and Bella, as I found my way to my room. I was already feeling tired and sleepy. I had to take a quick shower and lay on my bed. I need to sleep early, cause I know tomorrow is going to be a hectic day for me, if not for all.

  • The ringing of my alarm woke me up from my sleep. I groaned. I still feel sleepy. I picked up the alarm and switched it off. I lay down to sleep a little more. It was the ray of light coming in through the window that woke me up this time. I picked up my phone to check the time. It was a few minutes past 8 am and my meeting with Brian Enterprises is by 9 am. "Shit" I cursed. How come I slept that much?. I must have drunk too much Champagne. I hissed. Thanks to Nigel. "This isn't time to get angry," my subconscious mind said
  • I nodded in agreement and stood up from the bed. I rushed into the bathroom to take my bath and then get dressed in a black suit. How much I hate to wear it but I had to, because of work. I picked up my office bag to check if all the documents were intact. Luckily, they were. I placed my black leather pants and jacket into a bag. I'll be changing into that for school, after the meeting. Giving the last touch to my hair, I rushed downstairs. Nigel was seated at the dining with some other werewolves. Bella wasn't there. They stood up to greet me but I only waved at them. "Nigel meet me at the car park"
  • He furrowed his brows. "No breakfast?"
  • "No, it's almost time for the meeting"
  • He groaned. "Ok, I'll meet you downstairs"
  • "Be fast about it"
  • "Sure"
  • **
  • The meeting ended with us being awarded the contract. Mr. Brian stood up. "Congratulations, Mr. Nolan"
  • I smiled and stood up too. "Thank you so much for trusting us, Mr. Brian"
  • He smiled. "I believe you won't disappoint me"
  • "We won't, that's a promise" Nigel answered and I nodded.
  • Mr. Brian smiled. "See you in my office by Monday"
  • I nodded. "We'll be there"
  • We shook hands and I saw him off to the door. After he left, I quickly pull off the suit. I was sweating already. Nigel laughed. "Easy"
  • I rolled my eyes and sat down. "I can't believe we got the contract"
  • He smiled. "I knew you would"
  • I sighed and relaxed on the chair. "I can't believe have been able to build and maintain this company for this long. I thought I would fail. I thought I will be so depressed that I will end up as a failure"
  • Nigel held my hand. "I have always known you will do just fine. Look at you, you've grown up. You've built a name for yourself. You've been leading the pack with great efforts too. I sometimes admire your leadership skills"
  • I chuckled. "And you haven't learned anything from it yet?"
  • He hissed. "I have got no time for stress"
  • I rolled my eyes. "Really?". He nodded. "I see that as a sign of laziness"
  • "I ain't lazy"
  • "I don't see that"
  • He hissed. "Ain't we going to school?"
  • "Of course we are going"
  • He groaned. "Do we have to?. Can't we just stay back at work?"
  • I rolled my eyes. "You're running away from Bella. Do you guys fought, yesterday?"
  • He sighed. "Nah. It isn't a fight. It's just a little misunderstanding but you know Bella too well. She's complicated"
  • I chuckled. "She's your mate. You've got to understand her"
  • He hissed. "I wish you had a mate too, so I could tell you the same". I glared at him and he chuckled. "Sorry. I wasn't supposed to say that. But I do wish your mate will show up soon"
  • I stood up. "Go get ready. We are leaving for school"
  • "Nolan?"
  • "Now!" I ordered
  • He sighed. "Ok, Alpha," he said that Alpha in a sarcastic tone but I wasn't in the mood for that. I left him and went to get ready for school. My mood wasn't lively as it was before. His word pieced deep into my heart. I once do wish I had a mate too. But right now, I don't want to think about my mate, not after trying to find her for two years. I care less about her!!.
  • **
  • The car stopped right in front of the school gate. It's an all Alpha school. But the families of the Alpha and Beta are allowed to attend too. I opened the door to step out. Nigel groaned. "Isn't he suppose to take us into the school premises?"
  • I hissed and stepped out. "You can keep sitting in the car for all I care!!". I began to go
  • "Hey!!" He yelled, running after me. I chuckled. "Wait up!!"
  • I quickly kept a straight face and turned. "What?"
  • He rolled his eyes. "Are you still mad with me?"
  • I furrowed my brows. "For what? Exactly?"
  • He sighed. "For talking about your mate"
  • I burst into laughter. Is he for real?. "No. I wasn't even thinking that"
  • "But you had refused to talk to me"
  • I chuckled. "Oh, that. I wasn't in the mood to talk to you"
  • He scoffed. "Really?"
  • I nodded. "Really"
  • "You..." I ignored him and started walking away. I heard him groaned. "Hey, I'm not done talking". I ignored him and kept walking. "Nolan". He touched me and I pushed his hand away. "Hey!!". I rolled my eyes and began to run. He ran after me and finally caught up with me. "You're such a jerk!!". I couldn't stop laughing. "Hey, stop laughing. It isn't funny, ok?"
  • "Of course it is. Did you see your face when I told you I wasn't in the mood to talk to you?"
  • He hissed. "You're just been..."
  • "Nigel?" Bella called. Nigel groaned. I raised my head to see her coming in our direction. "You guys are late!!". I rolled my eyes and looked at Nigel who was already looking frustrated.
  • He mind-linked me. "Are you ready?"
  • I rolled my eyes. "For what?" I answered through the mind-link.
  • "To run". I chuckled. "I'm serious. If you don't run with me, you will have to face your cousin alone"
  • I batted my lashes. I'm not ready to listen to her blabbing. "I'm ready"
  • He nodded. "After the count of 3. I, 2, 3"
  • We ran off to the surprise of Bella. "Hey!!" she yelled. We stopped running when we were sure we were far from her. I held my chest, laughing. One thing I loved about this school, is that I get to express myself as me, not as an Alpha.
  • Nigel laughed. "I can't believe I ran away from my mate," he said
  • I rolled my eyes. "You always run from her. It isn't new". He glared at me and I laughed. "Time to go to class". I turned to leave but bumped into someone. His/her books fell to the ground.
  • I groaned and Nigel chuckled. "Hey. Are you blind or something?!!" She yelled. I rolled my eyes. It's a girl. I raised my head and she gasped. She pushed her hair backward. I bend down to help her pick up her books and then handed them over to her. She chuckled. "Sorry, I yelled at you"
  • "It's nothing. I guess I'll have to be more careful next time"
  • She furrowed her brows. "You're not angry?"
  • "No"
  • She smiled. "You're kind". I rolled my eyes. "By the way, I'm Ella" she stretched her hand to shake me.
  • "Nolan" I held her hand into mine. Nigel coughed and I groaned. "Ella, meet Nigel. My..."
  • "Best friend" Nigel answered quickly. I glared at him. I wanted to say Beta, not my best friend!!.
  • "Nice meeting you Nigel"
  • "Nice meeting you too"
  • "Ella?" Someone called. I turned to see who it was, only to be met with two blue angry eyes. Wait, her face looks familiar. "You!!" She pointed at me. I gasped. This girl again!!.
