Story: 101 Proposals? No, Alpha
I opened it without thinking and saw a moonstone engagement ring inside.
I instantly froze. I had envisioned it so many times before: Jonat would show up at the Office of Werewolf Mate Affairs on a moonlit night, grab my hand, and put a ring on my finger.
But it was a long time ago. Now my heart was as tranquil as a lake.
I softly closed the lid and put it on the table, saying, “Thank you.”
Jonat frowned and glanced at me, as if he couldn’t understand why I didn’t care. “What’s going on…”
I looked at him briefly, as if I didn’t care. Maybe he thought I should have gasped and cried when I saw the ring, and then put all my problems and sadness behind me.
I grinned in a fake way and said to his face in a very casual tone, “Oh wow, I’m so touched.” Are you happy now? ”
I figured he would quit up then, but I didn’t think he would get angry and embarrassed.
“Mia, all I did was take Vian to the Werewolf Council Office. I have said I would be your pal, so how long are you going to keep making a fuss? ”
I wasn’t scared by the way he looked angry, so I maintained calm and said, “You got it wrong.” I’m just worn out.
His face finally changed. For the first time, he really felt how far away I was from him.
Jonat bit his lip and grabbed for my hand, but then his phone rang loudly, stopping him in his tracks.
Vian called.
He looked at me, ready to explain, but I spoke first. “You’re busy with your work.” You don’t have to explain. I get it all.
He was utterly caught off guard by how understanding I sounded. He didn’t know how to answer. He held my hand tightly, as if he was trying to figure out what I was actually thinking.
But the ringtone continued growing louder and sharper. Finally, he let go of my hand while I was watching.
“I’ll go to the Office of Werewolf Mate Affairs in person for the 101st proposal.”
He quickly departed after that.
I went back to my room and slept like I hadn’t done anything wrong. It was the best sleep I’d had in five years.
He would never be able to find me again after I quit Burna City’s Werewolf Council and gave up my duties.
As I normally do, I proceeded to my usual workstation in the Werewolf Council Office. A coworker stopped me.
“Mia, you’re in trouble today.”
I was perplexed as I looked at him. I had already quit my job and was getting ready to leave the Werewolf Council, so what kind of trouble could I be in?
At that moment, my coworker pointed ahead, and that’s when I saw that Vian had already taken over my old desk. After my coworker explained, I finally got it.
Today was Vian’s first official day as an intern at the Werewolf Council. When she chose her spot, she instantly looked at my desk.
I strolled over to Vian without saying a word. When she spotted me coming, she arched an eyebrow and sneered. “I like this spot,” she murmured with a quiet laugh. “Go look for another one.”
I looked at her and nodded. “Okay, I’ll just put my things away.”
I didn’t say anything else, but my coworkers thought I was giving in to Vian’s pressure when they saw my response.
Maybe it was because Vian was Jonat’s “future mate” that no one said anything out loud. They simply murmured to each other and looked over with pity.
Jonat showed up at the end of the hallway just as I was going to leave and finish packing.
Vian ran over right away and grabbed his arm.
He let her grasp on and walked with her to the middle of the office, where he presented her to everyone. “This is Vian.” She’ll be working for the Werewolf Council Office starting today. Please look after her.
Everyone clapped loudly, but Jonat only raised his eyebrows a little and didn’t say anything.
“Have you chosen a place yet?” ” he said.
When Jonat was done talking, Vian pointed to the desk I had just vacated and stated, “I want to sit here!” ”
Jonat finally saw me standing off to the side with my storage box after he looked at the area he had chosen. His face became a little uneasy at that point.
“This place is already full. He said, “Choose another one.”
Everyone was shocked when Jonat said no to Vian’s request.
Vian was still determined to take my old seat, so she held on to Jonat’s arm and pouted and whined. “Jonat, I really want to sit here.” It’s closer to your office, and I can see you all the time.
I was sick of seeing them flirt, so I told them to “Let her have the spot.”
I had already given my notice to leave the Council, so what did a desk matter to me?
When I said yes, Vian looked at Jonat with a smile. “See? She gave it to me.
Jonat looked at me, and his face became stormy. He then turned to Vian, his eyes keen and his voice abnormally chilly as he remarked, “This spot is taken.” Choose a different one.
The man who had always spoilt Vian, Jonat, lost his cool with her for the first time.
Vian was entirely unprepared, and the mood in the whole office appeared to freeze.
Jonat looked at me and didn’t say anything else. Then he turned and went away. Vian rushed after him when she saw this, but not before giving me a stern look.
I suddenly thought the scenario was humorous. I used to be just like Vian, always following after Jonat.
I instantly froze. I had envisioned it so many times before: Jonat would show up at the Office of Werewolf Mate Affairs on a moonlit night, grab my hand, and put a ring on my finger.
But it was a long time ago. Now my heart was as tranquil as a lake.
