Chapter 3: Is She My Mate

Why would either of these great men care so much about me? We were from two totally different worlds. What was so special about me? "Mia, he's asking you a question..." Sofia's words pulled me back from my thoughts. I rebuffed him politely, "I can't go with you, sir." "A beautiful lady like you should come away with me. I will treat you like a princess and spoil you." Locas touched my cheek and pressed against my lips with his hand. It was really difficult to reject such a charming person. "What do you say?" He used his deep voice to tempt me, as if guiding me toward a big trap. Locas narrowed his attractive amber eyes. I looked at him and found that his eyes gave him away. I could see that he was doing this for some purpose. "I really can't go with you. My boss has been very kind to me. This job is very good." I was still rational. "That's a shame." He sighed, picked up my hand, and gently kissed it on the back. It seemed like a very gentlemanly action. Even Sofia was mesmerized by this. However, only I knew that he had licked my hand just now. That was an action that only a pervert would do! "I want you to think about it." He handed me a business card, his thumb brushing the back of my hand, either intentionally or unintentionally, sending a wave of heat through me. "The moon goddess will bless you." Locas bowed to me before turning to leave. His back view was as elegant and charming as when he came. It even caused his female colleagues to cheer. *** *Krell* "I've thought of another way to repay your company's debt." I lifted an eyebrow as I looked at Locas. He was a crafty partner. What the hell was he up to now? I leaned back and motioned for him to continue. "I want a person. A very beautiful lady. She's in your company." Locas was smiling. I could tell that he was quite determined from his eyes. A very beautiful lady? The first and only person I could think of was Mia, the woman in front of whom I had to struggle to restrain my desires. "Who is it?" I asked. "Mia." I knew it. Knowing that Mia was here, I shouldn't have let Locas come to the company. Could it be that Locas was already suspicious? When did I slip up? However, Locas was a bit of a playboy by nature. A beautiful woman like Mia would definitely attract his attention. He was also very smart. Giving up 10 million dollars for a woman was obviously a loss. Perhaps he had already confirmed Mia's identity. Locas was a person who was plagued by rumors. He had countless lovers, and he had an almost crazy love for beauties. He was never stingy with money to spend on a beautiful woman. It did not seem strange that he would like Mia. "Why her? Just because she's beautiful?" I sipped my coffee and the bitterness spread over my taste buds, this also gave me time to feel more composed. "Isn't it enough?" Locas asked, looking at me curiously. "10 million dollars, are you sure? That's a big amount" Of course, I wouldn't answer his question either. Locas squinted slyly like a fox and said, "I would always spend a big amount of money on beauties. You already know this about me? So what do you say?" It was indeed a tempting deal, but the value of Mia was far more than 10 million dollars. "Krell, I've never known you to turn down such a great deal" Locas's voice suddenly became serious. An indescribable gloom washed over on his features. "Is there anything special about Mia?" He must be testing me. He might know everything already. "Answer me, Krell." "Why don't you say something?" "Tell me!" Locas continued to ask me. He insisted on forcing me to give an answer, but I couldn't be hasty. What I needed most now was time. I would like even one minute. "You're such a pain in the *ss!" I shouted impulsively. This was the first time I had ever been so rude to my partner. It was the only way that I could get some time to think. "Locas, please leave and give me time to think about it without you buzzing all around me." This proved to be very useful. Locas stormed out of my office speechless and slammed the door angrily as he left. "Krell, what happened?" The mature and steady male voice of my beta, Edward, asked. He must come here because of the sound of Locas's slamming door. I shook my head and sighed as I extracted and lit a cigarette. The taste of menthol and nicotine spread from my mouth to my lungs. I concentrated on the smoke rings as I told Edward about Mia. "Therefore, I need to find a suitable reason to let Locas think that Mia is important to me. I need to make him feel that it's only right that I don't make this deal and I don't have any ulterior motives. Or should I accept this tempting deal and dispel Locas's suspicion?" I said to Edward. I asked for his opinion because I valued his advice. "Miss Mia is a very valuable asset to have in our pack indeed. I don't think we should just hand Mia over to Locas. Even if Locas suspects us, it's okay because it means Mia is still under our control." "I think you can become mates with Mia! This powerful and irreversible connection would be the most convincing to Locas!" Edward suddenly said in a high-pitched voice. I could become her mate. I should become her mate! I felt my heart skip a beat at the idea. Then it began to beat at an abnormally fast rate. This feeling was very strange. It made me feel that something was out of my control, but I also felt indescribably wonderful. Edward saw my strange reaction and then said, "Well, I'm talking about pretending to be her mate. We approach her only for that matter. She's only an omega in reality. Of course, she can't really be your Luna." I suddenly felt very unhappy. I didn't like Edward saying that Mia and I couldn't really be mates. I was about to respond to him when I saw her familiar figure through the French window. It was Mia, her long golden hair fell past her shoulders. She only put on a little makeup, but her face looked extremely young and charming. She was dressed in an ordinary suit, which every woman in the company was in. But any move of her can easily ignite the fire in my body. I thought I must be crazy. I found her irresistible. She was wearing a business suit. The white shirt made her skin look even fairer. She fitted right in the shirt, which made her trim figure look neat. The black slim skirt wrapped around her waist. She must have a fascinating waist. Could Mia and I become mates? This was the only thought on my mind, and I completely forgot about the words Edward just said. That was right. As long as I became Mia's mate, her soft and sweet lips would be mine, her waist would be mine, and her alluring body would also be mine. It sounded good. I was already looking forward to telling Locas that Mia was my Luna. I wanted Mia to be only mine.
