Chapter 84: Chapter 84
**Cassie’s Pov**
I decided to do some grocery shopping after leaving work. I am a bit surprised about the outcome of Dax becoming my boss, but I get what Angel and Dale are saying: that my new boss is kind and someone who is close to my heart, and I completely agree with that. I think I like the idea of Dax being my boss, thank goodness.
"Angel, I am so shocked to know everything," I said to her while Damon was pushing our cart full of vegetables, fruits, and different types of meat. My new condominium unit is three times as big compared to the last one, and I need to restock some of my supplies as well as cook for tonight. My son is growing so fast that he needs a lot of nutrients.
"Yeah, actually, Dax knows that you hate surprises, but he is afraid that if you learn that he will be your new boss, you will leave and disagree," Angel muttered. I look at her in disbelief.
"Why would I do that?" I asked. I mean, Dax is a great guy. I trust him, and he is someone that I know will treat me better, so I can’t see any reason why I would disagree with having him as my new boss.
"Well, he trusts you, but you are more inside his mind. He is simply afraid of rejection and what-ifs. That is why I asked you for a favor by not rejecting him. I saw how he changed, and I saw how he became better through your help. I hope you will not get tired of helping my brother," she asked me. I nodded with a smile and held her hand.
"I promise you... But are you not planning to have a date with Damon?" I can sense that Damon also likes my friend. I mean, they are a cute couple, and Damon has no mate yet. Or maybe Damon’s mate is actually Angel! That makes more sense!
"Yeah, I do not know if I am just assuming things here, but I hope his friendly gesture sounds like he also likes me. I mean, you know me, right? I do not believe in love at first sight," she said in her defense. It is good that we are far from Damon because we are now in the beverages section.
"I know, of course, that you never felt attracted to Derek, so I guess that you really do have a very high standard," I said, nodding in agreement.
"Exactly! And Damon met every single thing that I like in most men," she said with a sigh. I know that face. It is an expression that shows that she is in real love.
"Then good luck; do not mind me; go out with him. My brothers are now outside; they can do me a favor by helping me get home our groceries," I assured her. She hugged me and gave me a wink.
"Thank you for playing cupid!" she said after flying over to Damon and pulling the clueless werewolf. I hope everything will go smoothly for them.
I sighed before pushing the cart. It is not heavy at all; after all, I am not a human. But to my surprise, there were two gorgeous men walking towards me. Derek and Dax are walking towards me, and they are making me stoned. What are they doing here?
"Ah, hi? What are you two doing here?" I asked them, a little bit confused. They might have some agenda here.
"We are here to fetch you. We just brought one car; are you done with the groceries?" Thank goddess, and yes, because almost all of the living beings here are looking at these two equally gorgeous guys.
"Why? My brothers are just outside, and they They cut me off from whatever I was saying right now.
"They are not here anymore. They left, and they asked me and Derek to fetch you," Art said, and all I can do is make a mental slap on my face. Those traitors—I almost forgot to make a special dessert for those fools. I bet they went on a date, as per usual.
"If you are doing something very important, you do not have to be here. I am sorry if that idiot bothers you because of me." I apologize.
"You do not have to; we are because we want to see you, especially me, who does not see you the whole day, because I bet someone hoards your time as your new boss." And I can feel his words. Derek looks like some handsome adult guy throwing tantrums.
"Hey, do not be like that; Dax looks guilty right now even though he has no fault about this," I said to Derek. He is now smiling a little awkwardly while scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah, I know that; that is why we want to talk with you," he said, so I think there will be a serious conversation after this.
I do not know if I should be surprised or not since I know that these two guys are beyond rich. They own a company; they have a huge asset and company income. I know since I work both in their company. As I said, some men in black send my groceries to my apartment. It is a bit early, so I think we can still have some tea before going home, but I hope this talk will not last for too long since I am planning to prepare our dinner.
"What is that?" I asked them, as we are now on the corner of the shop.
"We talk about you being Dax’s secretary, and we want to be fair with this. We think that if ever you will be our lover, everything should be a pair for us," Derek started, and just the word ‘our lover’ is enough to shake my very core. What the hell does he mean about our lover?
"Wait, I know where this will go—I mean, this whole conversation—but let me hear it again, our lover?" I asked them again because, these past few days, there has been no single surprising thing to know.
"Yeah, I know we have not asked this yet, and it might be weird, but we are fine with being your lovers, the three of us," Dax said boldly. I am having a headache right now, and I can feel my face turning bright red. Why is it so hot in the middle of winter right now?
I fake a cough, and I almost melt at how they are staring at me right now. They look so handsome, and that is something that I cannot express. They could melt anything with how much they are staring at me.
I gulped, looking at how handsome they were. "To be honest, it is not weird for me. Back on my life as a werewolf There are some cases wherein a certain individual has two or more mates," I said to them, and it looks like what I have said lifts their mood.
"Is that for real, then there is no problem if that is the case, that we want a ‘throuple’ type of relationship?" They asked. I nodded, and though I am blushing, I cannot concentrate knowing that these two beautiful creatures are looking at me with such intensity.
"Okay, stop staring at me that much; I cannot withstand it anymore," I said to them. Goddess, please send someone to help me.
We went home, and I immediately organized the goods. I really like when everything is organized. I feel much more at ease if I can see my place decorated in a way that I like.
"Let us help," Derekt said, starting to lift some heavy boxes. Though I can handle this, I also like when they are helping me. Dax is the one lifting the heavy appliances, while Derek is the one putting some of those canned goods and such on the high cabinet.
Because I have little to do, I decided that I should start cooking fried chicken and some beef stew. The whole kitchen was now filled with a lovely aroma from the spices and fresh meat that I used.
"Can I have a taste?" Dax asked, slightly blushing. I took a spoon and some stew broth. "Here, have a taste," I said after I blew on the hot broth.
I felt sinful when all I did was look at Dax’s lips. I never realized how good his lips were. It is shaped like you want to kiss it as soon as you can.
"Me too!’ Derekt exclaimed, and I did the same. I am too lucky to have these two as my special someone now.
We shared the dinner with laughter and smiles, and I hope it will last for eternity. Maybe this is the way the goddess says that you can start healing from the pain; maybe that is what she is trying to say.
Because after the day that I lost my mate, I thought it would be impossible for me to be happy like this again. But unexpectedly, the universe gives me these two guys who always give me a bunch of butterflies in my stomach. They never failed to amaze me and make me feel that I am loved and that there is nothing that lacks in me.
After the dinner, I send them outside, although they are just a few units away from mine. I am so comfortable with the thought that we are living near each other.
And when I am now alone in my room, looking at the crescent moon with a smile on my lips, I realize that I feel fine now and that I am now starting to feel content. Even though I desire to be selfish and greedy, I still promise to get revenge and pay back those who brought death to my mate. I still feel that thorny emotion that shakes my core from time to time. I still feel the sadness and eternal loneliness whenever I am reminding him, Kaiden.
He might not like the idea of me still dwelling on the past, but I cannot stop myself from doing so. I am planning to get even with Xander, and I will not let him easily get off the hook. I will make him pay dearly for taking the life of the man that I love.
"Kaiden," I whispered while hugging myself and looking only at the moon. "Are you fine now? Are you feeling okay? I know that there is no pain for you anymore since you are with the goddess. I know that you are a bright star now, and you are still guiding me. Kaiden, I still miss you, I still love you, and I still wish that I could hug and kiss you. I dearly wish that I could bring back the time to save you."
"If you are still listening to me, my love, my alpha, give me a sign that I can finally love again. My love for you is still the same no matter what; you are still the guy that I will love over and over again. I swear, I love you, Kaiden. If I can just do it again, I will choose you over and over again." I said while whispering those words on the cold winter night. It started to snow again, and it reminds me of the day that I lost him.
I went to bed and cried again. I went there feeling lonely and helpless when my phone rang. Both Derek and Dax are calling; they have their text message saying that they are outside now. What are they doing outside? Can’t they see that it is so chilly outside now?
I ran until I opened the door. They hug me, both of them giving me the warmth that I need the most. They said that I should stop crying because they are here now. And I think this is the sign I have been waiting for so long.
