Chapter 29: Chapter 29

If there's one thing I've never liked even though we only spent a little time together, it's lying to Alen, well to Greg. I never knew how to do it and I don't want to do it. But I have no choice, he and I live in different worlds and it's absolutely not that he's mega-rich.

No, he's a human and I'm a lycan and if I understood what my mother told me before she died, relations between our two races are impossible.

I bit my lip before sighing. Will my heart agree with this fact?

I looked at Greg who was waiting for my answer and my heart skipped a beat again.

Why did it have to be so hot? He's so sexy and damn, his face is a work of art. I closed my eyes so as not to be distracted because I know myself, if I let myself be charmed by his face, I would start talking without control and say things that I shouldn't.

I squeezed my dress with my fingertips before I heard Greg sigh.

"You don't have to talk to me if it's difficult. I'm just happy to see you again after all this time. On this, I will go. I just wanted to say hello…"

He started walking as I raised my hand to hold him back. I didn't want him to leave, and I didn't want to see him leave me anymore, yet I knew deep down that what I was saying had no place.

I am destined for another, my alpha, and no other relationship should count for me, especially if it is a love of the past. Moreover, Greg does not give me the impression of wanting to put our story back on the set, if he came to me, it is absolutely not for this purpose. He just wanted to greet me out of courtesy and in remembrance of what we went through.

I feel so sad now...

I clenched my hand into a fist letting him go as he stopped turning to me with that smile that would always drive me crazy.

" Can't wait for Monday, I can't wait to work with you... Sophia…"

I smiled in spite, what did I expect? I'm not his little mermaid anymore, it's a shame but I have to get used to it.

"Yes, me too ... Greg."

He turned around and left leaving me on this balcony alone and sad. I surrounded my body with my arms holding me back from crying. I shouldn't be sad, it was nice of him to come to talk to me when he could just ignore me. We broke up or at least aren't together anymore so why does it hurt so much when there's this coldness between us? I can't love him, I can't love him anymore.

My alpha even if he has to be asked to come to me, he is the only one who matters to me. It's the only one I have to like, but why, Greg...

I crouched down crying while on the other side of the door, Greg had his face lowered.

" You are frankly a masochist if you want my opinion."

"So it's a good thing I didn't ask you to."

The man who had just spoken is called Rayan, he is Elsa's son and Greg's cousin and best friend. He shook his head sympathetically for this couple. Even if he understands Greg's motives, he is still perplexed. They are kindred spirits, she's his Luna and he's her Alpha, they should be circling around in a love parade but no, it has to be for later.

He put his hand in his pocket before feeling a hand wrap around his arm.

" Stop bothering him. He has his reasons that you and I know. Hmm Greg you can go? we'll take care of the rest."

Greg smiled before speaking.

"Frankly, I wonder why the goddess of the moon chose such a good wife for an idiot like you, I'm really outraged."

Greg smiled as Rayan scowled.

" She saw my charm and was won over, that's all."

" You have to admit darling that you're impossible at times but that's the reason why I love you so much. I have always loved challenges."

" Pamela…"

Rayan complained as his wife giggled. Greg greeted the couple before heading upstairs. As Pamela had noticed, he needed to be alone because he couldn't take it anymore. He could feel Sophia crying on the other side of the door and couldn't do anything to comfort her. At least not as Greg Travis.

I was crouched down trying to calm the pain inside me when in my head, like a soothing sound, a melody was playing.

** Do not Cry...**

He was my alpha... What was this strange bond we shared? Why whenever I felt sad he would come to me and immediately afterward I felt better. I wiped my face before feeling guilty.

I was crying for another man and yet my alpha was the one who came to comfort me.

How ironic, I really am a frivolous woman but I can't help it.

You could say that I'm in love with two men at the same time, my alpha and Greg.

Ah, if I could still hear my wolf talking, he would probably tell me that I was fickle.

"THANKS."

I spoke without an interlocutor while I put my hand on my chest.

" Sophia... It's time to leave now."

I turned to see Elsa at the door and nodded. I would have liked to see Greg again at least to say goodbye to him, but hey, we would see each other on Monday.

We exited the banquet hall and I entered the car.

Greg was standing in his office upstairs as he watched Sophia enter the limo. He stayed there until the car pulled away and disappeared from his sight.

He turned to Rayan and Pamela with a cold face as he walked towards them.

"Many lycans have gathered towards the forest at the entrance of the city and we are told that a new drug is circulating in the city and within the packs. It is particularly famous for its omega."

"You think it's the same drug from 18 years ago?"

Pamela walked over and put a pack on the table in front of Greg. There were documents inside and Greg grabbed them reading them.

" I conducted some experiments in the lab and the substances used are very similar to those observed years ago. But another base has been added to the composition of this drug. Our researchers are studying this new base because after isolating it, we discovered that it is what makes this drug both powerful and addictive."

" Keep me informed of progress on this basis. Rayan I want you to send Elias to me on Monday."

"Well"

" the congress of the Alphas of this city is coming soon. I can see that many old people want my head."

" It does not please them that a younger Alpha is the leader of the other packs .."

" I can imagine."

Greg looked down at the city as he frowned.

" Things are getting weird in this town"
