Chapter 109
Eros would be upset if he found out I had contact with Theo and didn’t inform him.
1 recalled the look in his eyes when he had walked up the stairs of the bar, the way he had looked at me in concern, asking me if I was okay, and pulling me into his embrace
Was <b>that </b>Eros” <b>duty </b>of saving a <b>pack </b>member? Or did he also feel something for me!
He had called me his and then had been so delicate and then demanding all at once. No matter how much I tried not to, my thoughts kept drifting back to him
On one hand, I wanted to run <b>away </b>from Eros, while on the other, I wanted to be close to him, too close. I should inform him about Theo and the text messages so that he wouldn’t be angry with me again.
It was frustrating. I clicked on his number and thought of sending him a message, but then wondered what to write.
I typed and deleted a few messages before cing the phone away. I did not need to <b>put </b>myself through so much misery again.
Feeling restless, I went to the window and opened it. The night was dark and the dense trees covered most of my view of the sky.
A soft breeze <b>was </b>flowing through <b>the </b>window, making the curtains flutter. I leaned on the windowsill dreamily, wondering what the moon Goddess had in store for me.
My eyes were fluttering shut, <b>and </b>I was about to fall asleep <b>when </b>in the far distance. I saw two little lights
I let out a yawn and saw the lights dim, and my eyes drooped heavily. I <b>was </b>about to turn around and go to the bed when 1. heard the gate creek open
I was still feeling drowsy due to the soft breeze washing over me, but then I saw the lights growingrger and approaching vehicles<b>. </b>
Stifling <b>a </b>yawn. I realized <b>that </b>it was quitete and for a second wondered who it might be. And then, <b>as </b>the <b>two </b>blurb <b>of </b><b>light </b>came closer, I realized whose car it was
My eyes flew wide open as I saw olivia’s car drive into the huge open <b>ground</b>.
I leaned forward to get <b>a </b>glimpse of his face but from this angle and distance, it was hard to see and before I knew I was <b>dashing </b>through the room, running down the <b>stairs </b><b>and </b>sprinting down I hadn’t even put on slippers and <b>was </b>running <b>through </b>the broad passageway before climbing down the never ending stairs…
At one point, I almost slipped and stabbed my toe.
Jumping up and down, I massaged my feet for <b>a </b>second before resuming to run downstairs. I had almost run towards the main door, but then remembered the shortcut to his garage through the other.
Hence, I changed direction <b>and </b>began running towards the garage again.
I would have looked like a headless chicken that was running around without any direction, but I <b>had </b><b>a </b>smile on my <b>face</b>.
I wanted to see the face of Ex–mate who hadn’t left my thoughts even for a millisecond in the entire day.
These twenty four hours had been the longest ever. He could sulk, he could be arrogant like always, bicker or fight. I just wanted to see him always, bicker or fight, I just wanted to see his face and then run back to my <b>room </b><b>and </b>pretend to sleep,
I was truly insane.

I chuckled and kept rumming, and finally reached the <b>door </b>that led through the garage. Catching my breath, Ileaned on a wall, my hair falling on my face as I heard the huge gate of the garage slowly roll upward. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
When the gate had risen quite high, I heard the car’s ignition followed by the entire car that slowly drove in
The windows were pulled uppletely, so I <b>was </b>not able to <b>see </b><b>his </b>face. I looked around <b>and </b>ducked behind a pir to <b>get </b>a better view<i>, </i>but stayed hidden from his sight.
The car drove a little <b>and </b>slowly pulled <b>up </b>as the car’s ignition was turned off. I heard footsteps and slowly craned my neck.
And I sucked in a breath to see the face of the
<b>man </b>I had been eagerly waiting to see <b>for </b>the entire day.
He looked a bit tired, but no less handsome. He was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up and navy blue pants. While he took <b>his </b>bag and <b>other </b>stuff out, I kept staring <b>at </b>him.
No, staring is the wrong word.
<b>I </b>was gawking at him unabashedly. How could this man <b>look </b>so handsome <b>at </b>almost 2 <b>am </b>in the night? His hair was <b>a </b>little disheveled and my heart ached to run a <b>hand </b>through them, wanting to feel the softness under me.
Olivia closed the door and gathered his bag and <b>coat </b>in one hand while holding the key in the other.
“How long are you going to wait?” He asked.
I tried to hide behind the pir. Had he already noticed me? Surely. Thad picked a good spot to hide myself behind all big cars and other garage items.
He threw his head up and turned around, but <b>I </b>ducked behind the pir just in time. My heart was palpitating <b>wildly</b>, and 1 wanted a few moments to catch my breath
“You can do this, I thought to myself and sucked in a few breaths before opening my eyes <b>and </b>deciding to go meet him.
I would just tell him that I hade to inform <b>him </b>about Theo’s messages instead of telling him how much I <b>had </b>missed him
Surely that would be a strong reason to want toe running here. Thus, I slowly put a step forward to see him still staring
at the car.
“Fine, hide there all night. I am leaving” I had taken another step, but then I heard the car door open again. And out of it stepped a girl who seemed a little grumpy. Her hair was tied up, and she was wearing a very short dress.
She got out of the car and pushed the door close with her heel while walking <b>towards </b>him.
Olivia.
Theo should have expected that to be her. I should have known she would never let him leave in just a day.
But the fact that he had been the entire day with lier and still had got her home hurt, nheless. Not that I had any business getting offended with that.
“All the <b>treaty </b>and uses talk made my head swim. I was just taking a moment to calm down. My brain does not <b>work </b>like yours all day
She <b>said </b>in a grumbling tone. Olivia’s back was facing me but her face was visible, and I saw the way her eyes danced with twinkle of excitement.
Olivia shrugged. “You wanted to be included in all the big <b>talk </b>and work with me. You <b>got </b>what <b>you </b>wanted.”

“Not yet
She replied mischievously and gave him a sly smile.
olivia closed the door <b>behind </b>her and locked the car. He did not reply to herment that she took as another sign of continuing to flirt.
“My dear hybrid King, do you know what I want?”
She asked, but he let out a sigh. It is almost 2 am, <b>Olivia </b><b>And </b>I have lots of files waiting for me.”
That is <b>what </b>you do all day. Just work and more work. You don’t have to marry your work <b>but </b>a living, breathing girl. You know <b>that</b><b>, </b><b>right</b>?” she replied tonelessly,
“If the girl doesn’t make me want to love her like I love my work, then she is not worth the effort…”
His lines made me remember our conversation from earlier, when I had stupidly blurted out that I did not want to be just another file for him to read and toss <b>away</b>.
Was that the reason he didn’t seem interested in me? Because I did not want to <b>make </b>him ignore his work? But then that would make him an inefficient King.
While I wondered what went on in his mind, Olivia slowly walked towards him and stood close to him, really close.
she trailed her forefinger along his jawline as she whispered, “sometimes the <b>man </b>has to put in a little effort too, you <b>know</b>, even if he is the hybrid King”
When he did not respond, she added, “I know you just need a little push. We <b>have </b>worked all day. Let’s have some fun. tonight”
