Chapter 21
3rd Person POV
Grant was left inside his room while overthinking what he should do about his so-called fated mate. Who would have thought that it was going to be Krisna, a commoner, and nobody? He is an Alpha, and Krisna was just a no-one that nobody was taking value from. Grant didn’t have any plans on finding his fated mate, but he guessed that it would only come along the way even if he were not trying to find one. He didn’t believe in true love or having a mate, but he knew that he still needed to be with someone someday.
He stood up from his bed and slowly walked over to the couch on the side. It was too obvious that he really couldn’t sit still. He was feeling uneasy and uncomfortable at the same time. He didn’t expect that such a nobody would make him think too deeply like he was currently doing.
“What should I do with her? I don’t have plans on having a mate, but she’s already here. Should I talk to her about it?” He told himself while his hands were pulling his hair. “That scent… my favorite scent that came from Asthrid’s maid, a lilac which is too strong to stop.” He knew that Krisna’s scent was the scent of his match, and he couldn’t be in denial about it.
“I guess I should really talk to her about it, and I still don’t accept anybody to become my mate. No matter who it is, I refuse to be tied down and get married.” He told himself with so much conviction in his voice. He had a lot of women to satisfy him. Why would he let himself be someone else’s property? “I am guessing that she also knows by now about me, and she can’t do anything about it if I tell her not to pursue this madness. Nothing good will come between us anyway.” He added while continuously nodding to his statement, but later on, he screamed out in anger when he remembered about his mother’s warning. She told him not to reject his mate, and that might be a sign of bad luck.
He once again stood up from the couch and opened the door on the way to the balcony. The cold breezy wind welcomed him, and there, he continued to think about what he should do about Krisna. He leaned to the railings and looked far away as he breathed fresh air. “This is making me crazy. I didn’t know this is as hard as being an Alpha.” He said as he let out a deep sigh.
Grant was not sure if he should follow Letizia’s warning, so he didn’t know exactly what he should do next. “I need to confide this to someone, or else I might go crazy just right before the Annual Pack Gathering.” He stood up from the couch and walked over to the bathroom before he would head out to find his Beta, Greco, who was just on a spar with Krisna inside the venue for the Annual Pack Gathering.
Only his Beta Greco was the person he was able to confess and declare what his plans really were ever since, so he wanted to look out for him. Maybe, just maybe, he had something up on his sleeves to help Grant to think what was the next step, right?
He opened the door to wash his face along with his hair. He was in front of the mirror, and he was looking totally fine. He looked hot when he brushed up his hair with water. His toned arms and chest were exposed, and whoever saw him like that would eventually go crazy over him, especially when Mabelle spotted him. She would absolutely flirt with him in no time, or better yet, her saliva would come running down like a waterfall. She fell for Grant’s head over heels and would follow any command he would ask her.
He looked at his reflection in front of the mirror and thought about Krisna once again. What should he do about her? He didn’t want a mate or get married to anyone, but rejecting a mate was not something his mother would manifest. Letizia would definitely scold him for the rest of his life if he did that forbidden thing.
As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom, he went to his closet area and picked his usual attire, just a simple black shirt, shorts, and a pair of sneakers, but it would look totally perfect on it. Grant looked rich and formal with the way he dressed, and he was ready to go.
He went out of his room to look for Greco all over the premises. He tried to go to the garden, wondering if he was there, but there was no Greco in the area. There were only random girls who were talking to each other, but when their gaze turned to Grant, they would obviously talk about him, and they all blushed.
He just shook his head left and right. Then, having no time to deal with those kinds of scenes, he immediately walked out of the garden and tried to find Greco in different parts of the pack. It took him a few minutes to search for Greco outside the pack, so he gave up and went back inside to try to find him once again.
He went into the first area inside the very long foyer, where guests had to walk on a red carpet. Next was in the patio, where Greco was still nowhere to be found. “Where could he have gone into? Did he make out with other girls again in the middle of the day? I’ll kill him if I find him. He’ll regret making me search for him desperately.” So he told himself with irritation in his voice. Grant always didn’t like waiting nor looking for someone, but this time, he just had no choice because he needed Greco to release the burden his chest was bringing.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“If I just didn’t need you, I wouldn’t be looking for you as a crazy idiot.” He hissed out in the air. He was starting to get irritated with Greco, although he was not doing anything. He turned around to get out of the patio, but he just suddenly bumped into somebody.
