Book 2- Chapter 25
‘If you want me to give you some space so that you can walk, and I’m sure you can reach near me in Italy as well.’ He mentally thought. He didn’t have the patience to wait for her in Spain for more than one day, not when a wolf inside him was trying to control his body and start hurting for his mate.
By early morning, they reached their pack, and the first thing that Artemis did was to give control to his wolf, who was furious at his hooooman and at everyone on the whole planet.
Even though they were back in their own place, they couldn’t help but think about Caroline.
‘We miss you, mate.’ Bolt whispered, looking at the Moon.

The following morning, Artemis left for the office without meeting his parents, especially his mother, who could read him like an open book. And his presence in the office was scaring all the employees on that floor because Bolt was releasing his Alpha aura because of his anger.
“Artemis…” Raul peeked inside his cabin and walked in without taking his permission when he saw that his friend didn’t even bother to look up. “You’re scaring everyone with your aura, friend.” He said.
“Schedule all my meetings of the other day to today.”
“CHE COSA?” He questioned in surprise. [WHAT?]
“Mi hai sentito,” Artemis muttered, shrugging his shoulder. [You heard me.]. “I don’t want my mind to rest even for a second. I’m sure everyone would have already been ready with the presentation and files. After all, I have never taken thirteen days long vacation.”
“Yeah! Yeah! Sure.” Raul nodded his head. Because of Artemis’s bad mood, he dares not raise the topic of HER. “Where is Kane?” Raul asked.
“He is on leave because his son accidentally fell down the stairs. So,…. Now, can we get back to work now?”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Yes.”

“How’s he?” Lorenzo asked Raul.
“Pissed and irritated.”
“I have guessed, so. Because he wasn’t planning to come here before his birthday, even his mother sensed that when he didn’t meet us in the morning.” Artemis’s Father said. “I have to throw a party on his birthday tomorrow. I hope he wouldn’t create any scene there because a lot of investors will be at the party.”
“Is it important?” Raul asked. “I meant, Alpha. Throwing a party at that moment when he is not in the right state is not a good idea.” He suggested.
“What is the need to throw a birthday party for him when the birthday boy is not in the mood to celebrate his birthday?” He questioned Lorenzo.
“Yeah. You’re right. You will be an amazing Beta, Raul. Just like your Father.”
“Thank you, Alpha.”

“This is amazing news, Lucca,” Santino said with a smirk on his face. “If my cousin is not in his right mind, then I can use this news to my benefit.” He added with a big smile on his lips.
“Just do one thing. Make sure to invite all the important investors and clients to the party and also throw a party for my sweet little brother. And all these things should happen in such a way that, no way should know about it till tomorrow evening. And for that, the party avenue should be far away from the city.”
“What are you thinking, future Alpha?” Lucca, Son of pack’s Delta, asked with the hope that he would become the next beta if Santino would become the next Alpha.
“I want to show everyone how irresponsible Artemis is for the role of both CEO and the pack,” Santino said with an evil smile. “Make sure to add all the important people to the invitation list. All the IMPORTANT PEOPLE.”

Artemis made sure to give everyone the treatment of a living nightmare by giving earful lectures on the work, suspecting the lucky employees, and firing the rest with advance salary whenever he used to get time from the meeting.
“There goes our honeymoon period.”
“It seems like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed.”
“I wonder who is the reason behind his pissed mood?”
“I wish god could save me from his wrath.”
“Who could have thought that after enjoying the vacation of thirteen days, he would act like the devil on the fourteenth day?”
Bolt kept hearing all these whispers in the office and then checked the time. It was around eight at night already. But he had loaded with so much to most of the department that almost all employees were in the office.
“This high time, he should start his family.”
“Just because he doesn’t have a family, he doesn’t understand that there is someone at home waiting for us.”
“Let it be. It’s not that he overloads us with work. Maybe he is not in a good mood.”
Though Artemis was busy with work, he kept looking at his phone from time to time, waiting for her call because, with each passage of time, his patience was tearing off.
A few hours later, the clock struck twelve midnight, and his phone rang. He thought it was HER, but it was his mother. He received the call, claiming his mood.
“Happy birthday, sweetheart.”
“Thank you, Mom.” He muttered, forcing a smile on his lips as if his mother was looking at him.
“Come out of the cabin, baby!” He heard her speaking, and that was when Bolt smelt his mother’s scent. She just walked out of the elevator and sensed the other scent coming from her, which made him realize that she was here with a cake. He shook his head and disconnected the call.
