Chapter 24
3rd Person POV
The refrigerator door opened and Grant got himself a bottle of beer to just drink it over. Since he couldn’t look for his Beta, might as well just be accompanied by alcohol, right? He went back straight to his room and he got his personal fridge on the side for these kinds of scenarios. It didn’t fail him otherwise, though.
He opened the bottle using only his teeth and spit out the bottle cap randomly on the floor. He drank the beer as if he hadn’t drank one for a while. He let out a deep sigh and he leaned his right arm on the door frame on the way to the balcony. The skies were clear and it was a bit windy today, just perfect for him to drink beer.
Just a few more seconds, Grant started to hear continuous knocks on his door. He drank once again before he began to walk over to the door. “Hey, Alpha, have you been looking all over for me? What’s the catch? I’m here now.” The second he opened the door, there… the person he had been looking for was smiling at him sarcastically. “Oh, you’re drinking in the middle of the day? Hm, that’s great. Let me have one, Alpha.” He said and walked his way inside Grant’s room even without his permission.
It looked like he knew Grant’s entire room was designed and just walked his way to the fridge to get himself a bottle of beer. Afterward, he turned his gaze at Grant who banged the door close.
Greco smiled at him while he was looking too vexed. Maybe he already got an idea as to what happened to Grant during his search for him. “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for ages.” He said with his forehead creased.
“Relax, Alpha. If I know you’ve only been looking for me for less than an hour, so don’t get the details exaggerated, okay? And by the way, I’m already here.” He told Grant in a calm tone and there were also small laughs between his lines.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Oh really? A lot happened between those times so you don’t go telling me to relax.” He said then he drank the alcohol left in his bottle.
“Okay, okay. I’m sorry I made you look for me. I’m here now, Alpha. What can I do for you?” Greco asked as he sat on the couch while Grant went to his fridge to get another bottle of beer.
Grant took a deep breath and looked at Greco with a very serious facial expression. “I don’t know what to do about Krisna. I don’t want to get married… and when I say I don’t want to get married, I’m talking about neither my fated match nor anybody. What am I going to do?” He took all his courage to ask his Beta for his opinion because if he didn’t do that, thinking about it would take his life away.
“Alpha, you know that you can’t fight it, right? No matter what you do, you have to follow what was destined for you. You have to marry your mate.” He told him in a serious tone of voice as he drank on his bottle of beer.
His statement striked a lightning straight in Grant’s heart. It only made everything worse, he was supposed to fight for what he wanted and he was too determined but instead, he didn’t know if his decision was certain.
“Speaking of which, I ran into Krisna while I was looking for you. I noticed that there was blood on her face. I didn’t bother to ask her about what happened, but everything made sense when I also ran into Mabelle and her friends in the living room.” He started to tell Greco stories and he was only listening to him attentively.
Greco nodded while he was drinking his beer. “And? What happened next?” He asked for him to continue his story.
Grant slowly walked forward and sat on the chair opposite Greco then he also drank his beer. “Mabelle was telling me how awful Krisna was when they saw each other inside the ball room also just this morning. With that, I came to the conclusion that they both had an argument and Mabelle couldn’t help herself to just hurt Krisna. You know how Mabelle acts, right?”
Greco didn’t know if he should talk about what he saw inside the ball room when Krisna and Mabelle encountered each other. His left and right brain was battling with each other but then he still chose to tell Grant because Greco thought that he should know about it.
“Okay, Alpha, I don’t know if you really need to know about this but I saw everything that happened inside the venue. And I think you wouldn’t believe it.” Greco told Grant with hesitation in his voice as he finished his first bottle of beer. He looked at the Alpha and turned the bottle of beer upside down, telling him that his bottle was finished. “Can I get one more? I’m kind of thirsty right now.” He asked with a sly smile on his face.
Grant scoffed with a soft laugh and signaled Greco to just go get one in the fridge. Greco even hopped happily to get one more bottle then he went back to his seat. “Okay, so what were you saying?” Grant asked in a low tone of voice. He wanted to know… he became curious as to what happened.
The look on Greco’s face changed and he was teasing the Alpha. “Kyaa, I didn’t know you are also interested in her, Alpha. You didn’t even tell me.” He told him with a teasing voice, but Alpha Grant was not joking. He growled and his facial expression was slowly changing expression. Greco immediately felt nervous about his life. “I’m just kidding, Alpha, just kidding. Keep calm, okay? Let me just continue what happened a while back.” he said with fear in his voice.
