NOLAN
It's been a while since I last visited the office. I had been busy with school. I decided to visit the company, with Nigel and Bella, today. We will be missing classes today. I woke up early enough to take my bath, and still be able to go through some files my manager had brought home for me. When I was done, I got dressed in a black tuxedo suit and a black Italian shoe to match. I combed my hair and styled it to the side, adding a bit of gel. I checked myself out in the mirror. After making sure I was good to go, I picked up my suitcase and headed downstairs. Bella and Nigel were at the dining room having their usual couple's fight. I chuckled. It made me remember how Nigel had accused me of having a couple's fight with Olive. I rolled my eyes. Talking of Olive, she had been extremely nice these past few days. She doesn't glare like she used to. Someone nudged me, jerking me back to the present. I knew it was Nigel so I glared. "Thinking about her again?" He asked
I frowned. "I'm not thinking about her". I drew the seat closer to him backward and sat down. "What in for breakfast?"
"Macaroni and cheese, bacon and eggs, toasted bread and tea. Make your pick " Bella answered
I sighed. "I think I will go for bacon and eggs"
Nigel scoffed. "Macaroni and cheese would have been better. Are you sure you do not want to have a change of mind?"
I wasn't ready for Nigel's talk so I ignored him. I decided to serve myself since nobody was ready to serve me. "I told you Nolan would choose bacon and eggs but you wouldn't listen. Did you see how fruitless your argument had been?" Bella said
I blinked. Now I understand what their couple's fight this morning was all about. How do they feel comfortable arguing over nothing most of the time?. "The argument wasn't fruitless. You must have mind-linked him" Nigel answered with a mild accusation
I rolled my eyes. "I did not mind-link him, ok. You don't have to turn the table around. Agree you lost" Bella replied
I frowned. "I did not lose. You..."
I hit the table and they flinched. "Any more words from you both and I will pull out your tongues" I yelled. I had used my alpha tone on them. That was the only way to keep them shut.
Bella blinked. "Ok, alpha"
Nigel scoffed but quickly covered it up with a smile. "Yes, your majesty"
I ignored him and focused on my food. Silence returned and I was happy I had used that tone in them. Now I can eat my food in peace without having to listen to their long list of endless arguments.

The car stopped right in front of the company and I stepped out. Nigel and Bella had agreed to follow the second car. I knew they wanted to finish up their arguments but were afraid I might flare up again and carry out my threat. My manager came to pick up my suitcase. "Welcome boss"
I smiled at him. "How have you been, Ricky?"
"Fine sir. But work had been dull without you"
I smiled and patted his shoulder. "Now that I'm back, work will be fun". I walked past him and smirked. It not surprising to me that they love me so much. I was considered the most gentle of all alphas by those that knew me. Most do not know me as the alpha of the fire pack. I don't attend alpha meetings. I didn't see reasons why I should. And anytime I do attend, I attend as the ruthless alpha. I smiled. I could remember the last meeting I attended. When they saw me, they were so afraid, they couldn't hold their meeting again. That was the last meeting I attended. I don't want to keep them in fear. "Good morning, boss" Bethany greeted.
I smiled. "Good morning, Beth". Though Bethany does not belong to my pack and doesn't know me as the alpha of the fire pack, she is one of the few hard-working staff in my company. Though they have proved their effectiveness, I couldn't say I trust them. That's because I hardly trust. Not after what happened to my parents who trusted so many people. I sighed. "Do I have any message?"
"I think one or two messages were kept for you. I'm not sure. The manager will fill you in"
I nodded. "When my manager comes in. Tell him I need a cup of coffee". She nodded. "And tell Nigel to see me in my office"
She batted her lashes. "He is coming to work today?". I nodded. "And Bella too?". I nodded. I saw her frown but she quickly concealed. I smiled. I'm not the only one who gets tired of their constant argument. Those two never get tired.
"I told you to stop yelling at me". I could hear Nigel's voice. Bethany frowned and I laughed
"You should be used to this by now"
She sighed. "Every day has a different thing to argue about. It's difficult to get used to their constant arguments". I nodded in agreement. You can never get used to Nigel and Bella's argument
"I should head to my office. I don't want Nigel drawing me into their conversation"
She sighed. "Wish I could leave too"
"It's your duty post you have to stay"
She groaned. "Like I have a choice"

Going through the files my manager brought for me, I realized I had a Lost of work. A lot of files to sign and go through. "Why are they so much?" I thought. I frowned. What was I expecting?. Being out of work for over two weeks.
The door opened and Nigel walked in. He batted his lashes. "What the heck". He walked closer and sat down. "Where did you get these files from?". I glared at him and he chuckled. "I am only surprised. I wasn't expecting them to be this much"
I sighed. "Are you helping me out or not?"
He rolled his eyes and pick up a file. "Don't you think you need a personal assistant"
I blinked. I haven't thought about that. I had always thought having Nigel, Bella, my manager and Bethany were enough for me. I sighed. "I never thought about that"
He smiled. "I know. That makes me smarter"
I frowned. "We both know you're not smart"
He hissed. "Whatever. Who do you have in mind?"
"Nobody. You can help me with that right?"
He nodded. "Sure"
He made, to stand up. "That should be after you help me out here". He frowned and sat down. I chuckled. I knew he wanted to run away but there is no way I'm allowing that.

I breathe in the air in the school. I have been out of school for a week and it felt like ages. It was nice to get dressed in my simple wears rather than the usual suit I wear to work. I walked into the class. Olive was in the class writing in a book. I walked past her and headed for my seat. Some girls waves at me and I smiled. "It's good to see you again, Nolan. I missed you" one of the girls said
I smiled. "I missed you too" I answered
Olive raised her head. She stared dangerously at me and I shrugged. "Nolan, can we have a chat?" Another girl asked. Olive growled and I chuckled.
"Sure. If that will make you happy"
The girl chuckled. She walked closer to me. She placed her hand on my shoulder. "We can start by..."
Someone pulled her away and I know it was Nolan. She growled. "Stay away from him, ok?"
I frowned. "You don't tell her what to do"
She ignored me. "Get out!!". The innocent girl scurried away and I pitied her
"What's your problem?"
She ignored me. "Follow me"
I rolled my eyes. "Why should I do that?"
She groaned. "Just follow me". When she realized I wasn't going to attempt to move, she dragged me with her.
**
She was pacing around and I do not understand why had brought me to the garden. "Hey, stop pacing around and tell me why you brought me here"
She turned. "Do you always flirt with girls?"
I frowned. Is she trying to accuse me?. And by the way, how is that her concern?. "I'm not flirting. How is that even your business?"
She pointed a finger at me and bit her lower lip. I could tell she was pissed off. She dropped her hand and sighed. "We are going to agree"
I furrowed my brows. "On what?"
"On being your luna. I agree to be your luna"
I batted my lashes. Is she been serious right now?!!.
