The Wolf Who Saved Me

“Reule seemed to trust Landon when it comes to business,” I commented.

“Yes! Landon likes doing business, even Reule, too. But Reule hates being stuck in an office and working like regular employees who have a 9 to 5 job. So, Landon is one of those who helped him manage his business,” Adriana said.

“So, Reule doesn’t know anything about his business?”

“Oh, no! Reule just hates to be around a lot of people and to be stuck in one place. He wants to control his time and where he wants to be. That’s why you see him here most of the time. He works here remotely. But he knows almost everything that is going on in his business. No one can fool him. He is intelligent, and he studies diligently.”

“He is into hotels, and what else?”

“My god! He has a lot. Reule is a risk-taker and opens a business that he thinks he will make big. He owns a share in an airline company where he is planning to open his own. He has a winery and vineyard, courier service, a yacht rental, sells luxury cars, and owns a worldwide travel agency.”

“Damn! He is that rich!?”

“Yes. Reule’s worth is ten times more than what you see. But he is not lazy and dependent. That is why being an alpha; he wants the entire pack to work together. Most of the pack members are working under one of his companies. And they don’t complain because their salary and benefits are three times better than other employees who work on other companies.” “It seems like he treats his staff well, not only his pack members.”

“Yes. That is why the pack members have high respect for him, and they trust him so much.”

“But why he doesn’t have a mate yet?”

“Well, that is the only thing missing in his life. Nana and I believed that it was one of the things that made him lonely since most of his family members passed away. But I think things are changing now for him and Nana, and I believe that he had found his mate already.”

“Who?”

“We have told you before. You!” Adriana was smiling. She looked happy about it.

“Me? I find it hard to believe.”

“Why is that?”

“I did not feel any signs that he is my mate.”

“Hmm.. That is strange because, with Reule, Nana and I could tell that he already did find his mate. And there is no other new person here except you, plus he doesn’t accept just anyone without a significant reason.”

“Maybe he just pitied me. I think he had accepted someone new before out of pity.”

“No. It had never happened. You are the first one Reule had accepted coming from a different pack even though he knows the risk. He also doesn’t take slaves. So many women had begged to be his slave before, but he always refused them. And usually, he doesn’t care about what is happening with the other packs. But he saved you. So, the only reason for that is that you are his mate.”

“But I don’t understand as to why I don’t feel anything for him.”

“Yeah. I also don’t know why. But have you ever thought you have found your mate before?”

“I had been in a relationship before, but he was also not my mate. I fell for him because he was the first person who had been nice to me. And accepted that I am different.”

“What happened to him?”

“Sadly, he was sentenced to die by his cruel alpha because he was in a relationship with me.”

I felt like crying, remembering the day I heard the news from my brother that Caleb got sentenced to die. I rushed to the Blue Pack, wanting to save him, but I was too late. Caleb’s heart got ripped by his ruthless alpha, who could not accept me. I feel like my heart got broken into pieces, and I died that day, too. It made me think no one in this world would love and accept me.

“He must have been dear to you. You looked like you were about to cry.”

“Yes, Caleb was special to me, and until now, nobody has ever taken his place. Caleb seemed to be the only one who accepted and loved me aside from my family.”

“Don’t be sad. You have a new family now. Nana and I love you. And I am so sure Reule, too.”

Adriana hugged me, and I felt like I had a sister and a friend for the first time. We continued talking, but I changed the topic to talk about her mate. And what it feels like to find a mate. I did not realize that Reule was eavesdropping on our conversation. I only found out when Landon called him, and he found him sitting on the stairs doing something on his phone.

“What are you doing there?” Landon asked, surprised.

“I was about to look for you, but I received an important email that I need to reply to,” Reule replied.

“Come on! Let’s go to the hotel and join the meeting. I thought the employees there were starting to piss you off.”

“They still do. And I was replying to the email that the stupid hotel manager had sent me.”

“What did Eric complain about this time?”

“A lot of useless things. Now, let’s go. I am all fired up to yell at them today.”

“Not too much. You might lose employees.”

“I don’t care. I can easily replace those lazy and ungrateful people starting from James, the one who is supposed to represent me but ended up backstabbing me.”

Adriana and I turned and looked at them. I was wondering as to how much he had listened to. Did he hear about me talking about Caleb? I was furious with him eavesdropping, but I didn’t say a word. At least he came to know who I fell in love with before and why.
