MISSION OF THE NEXT ALPHA

XAVIER LIAM SCOTT'S POINT OF VIEW

"What happened?" I asked Taurel because she was crying when I first saw her here.

The sheets and pillow were already soaked because of the tears streaming down to her face. She looked at me, and her eyes were already swallowed because maybe she was crying for hours.

"N-nothing, " she blurted out.

I looked at her and handed her a glass of water. She gladly accepted and almost drank a whole glass of water.

"Are you not gonna tell me what happened?" I asked her once again.

She sat down on her bed properly...

She took a deep breath and sighed...

"I-it it just, um, " she utterly said.

She cants even tell me properly what was happening.

Until now, I had no clue what was her problem or what happened to her. Yesterday, when I visited her she was fine, and smile all day.

But now, she was crying. Her eyes turn red because of crying for hours.

I still can't process in my mind what was happening to her.

"You can tell me, " I insisted.

I just wanted to know her problem. Because I wanted to know how could I make her smile. I wanted to see her happy not crying.

"Because one of the private investigators told me that they could still not find Lynver. I am finding him for a year now, but still, there is no progress. And I am losing all my hope of living. I just wanted to be with him, " she blurted out.

I looked at her.

I raised my hand, and wipe the tear that was going down from her cheeks.

I took a deep breath and sighed.

It still broke my heart every time I heard her talking about Lynver, our Alpha. I mean I've been with her after her failed marriage. I helped her to move and get up. But now, when she moved on, she was finding her former lover, who she loved 5 years ago.

She was still in love with our Alpha. Lynver left her 5 years ago because they can't be together.

Because there was a rule in our tribe that an Alpha cannot marry half-blood. But Lynver, our Alpha, does not dare to fight for an amazing person like Taurel.

But I heard a hundred years ago there was also an Alpha who fell in love with a human. He fights for him and sooner they had a child. The Alpha ruled for a hundred years but soon died. Her daughter was never seen again.

Lynver could fight for Taurel if he just had a sign of courage. He would not be kicked out of his position, but his ruling time would just be lessened.

"We could hire another private investigator. If you want we could hire a hundred private investigators just to easily find him, " I suggested.

She looked at me...

Her eyes lighten up when she heard my suggestions. There seem her eyes filled with hope on what she heard that I said.

She then wiped her tears and gathered all her hope.

"Really! Could you help me do it?" She asked me excitedly.

Now my heart shattered into a million pieces.

I just smiled forcibly at her. But not showing that I am just faking my smile.

"Y-yes, " I hesitated a moment but yet I responded.

I didn't want her to lose her smile again that was just formed in her lips. I just want to see her happy.

Even inside me was a million pieces shattered into a million pieces over and over again.

I didn't want to say those words...

I didn't want to respond...

But my brain is not working without my heart's permission.

I didn't know why I was just this weak when it comes to Taurel.

She was really my weakness.

"Yes!" She shouted excitedly.

"Then could you help me find and meet serverly of private investigator next week? I would just clear all my schedules for next week. And put all of my schedules this week. I would finish all the important things that I needed to do this week, " she happily told me.

Seeing her happy was also making me happy. But my chest is hurting realized that I am not the reason why she was happy.

I could not say "NO" to her. It was like my whole body was saying "YES" on every little request on me.

If this was the only thing that could make her stay on my side, I am willing to do everything just to make sure, she would stay on my side. I am planning to keep her by my side until my last breath.

"Of course, " I replied.

Taurel was not a person, she had sa high position on our pack. Because her mom a half-blooded was once became superior in the underground society.

Even her Mom was a half-blood human and werewolf, she was accepted. Because she was a well-known businesswoman that supports the organization's needs. But after her mom passed away, Taurel was not aware of it and didn't know about that thing.

But still, Taurel was the daughter of our former superior.

Maybe that is why Lynver fell in love with her. Because she was an independent and successful woman. But Lynver, our Alpha, became a coward for not fighting for their love before.

I know I am just a mere slave but I can't fight for her. Even I am not an Alpha like Lynver, at least I am not a coward. I would never abandon Taurel as he did.

"Could you also clear your scheduled and tell the family you served that I am borrowing you, " she told me.

She taught me I am serving a well-known family on our pack because I am just a slave. But she didn't know that I was been adopted by the organization.

"Of course! I would tell them, " I replied.

"I'll just get us something to eat first, " she answered.

I just nodded at her and smiled.

I sat down on her bed. While she leaves her room and goes out to get something to eat.

"If you only knew Taurel how much I loved you. And how much it hurts when you mentioned the man you loved, "
