chapter 4
1376 Words
A big tall man knocked on my room and led me down the stairs. This house turned out to be a very large, elegant classic house. The walls of his house are filled with paintings of ancient people, I think. A big beautiful lamp hanging from the ceiling. Is he a rich werewolf?
An arm wrapped around my waist as I turned my gaze to examine the house further.
There he is. My mate and I just remembered I didn't know his name.
He took me to a car parked in front of the door.
"Are we going home?" I asked when the car began to move away from his residence.
"Have you changed your mind?" he asked, raising his arched eyebrows perfectly.
"Of course not." I hid my smile and focused forward, then he turned my face to face him.
"Karl, the man who picked you up, he will take care of you while I'm not beside you."
"So, I think right now my mate is Karl, right?" I teased him trying to melt the gloomy atmosphere. But what I saw was even darker.
"Don't mess with me, Kate." He growled.
"I'm just kidding. Why are you so serious?"
He looked at me for a long time while frowning, I was just about to look away from him suddenly he held my chin and pressed his lips hard and warmly above mine.
Oh no.
or is it, 'oh yes?'
He moved his lips and slipped his tongue forcing me to open my lips. I give up. I opened my lips for him and this kiss felt very intoxicating. This is not my first kiss, but this is the first kiss that made me weak. After he felt my lips with satisfaction, he let me go and looked into my eyes with a proud smile.
I feel my cheeks heat up. My cheeks must be very red now. He hugged my shoulder and pulled me closer. This is better than staring at my face that is no different from boiled crab.
We were quite far from his house, passing trees along the road. And I suddenly remembered something.
I looked up and saw that he had controlled himself and returned Stiff and calm.Not like me. He looked at me. "What is wrong?"
"I don't know your name yet."
"Xander."
"So how do you know my name?"
"That is not something that I can't do."
I frowned. I shrugged nonchalantly and rested my head against his chest.

"Where have you been? I called you hundreds of times but your cellphone died. You scared me. I thought you were eaten by wild animals in the forest."
"I haven't even reached the door but you have yelled at me."
"I called Gerard and asked his friends to look for you. I'm afraid something might happen ..." Lexy immediately stopped the conversation. I looked back and saw Xander standing right behind me. So of all things in this world, only Xander was able to stop Lexy from talking. Very nice.
"Lex, this is Xander. Xander, this is my housemate Lexy." I introduce them.
Xander hand out his hand first which Lexy responded immediately with enthusiasm. Lexy looked at me suspiciously then smiled meaningfully. I knew what was on her mind. Then she entered the house after asking for Xander's permission. Leave us both.
"You may go, I'm fine here. I have a guard now." I told him.
"I know. I'll come back later after my business is over." He kissed my lips briefly.
"Oh, whatever." I turned my body and walked to the house leaving Xander still in my yard
When I entered the house, I saw Lexy sneaking behind the curtain.
"You are really a stalker."
Lexy ran towards me with a big smile. "Is he your new boyfriend? Or just one of your admirer?"
"He is nobody. You can calm your mind now."
"No way, he just kissed you."
"Everyone can kiss me. You know that."
"Yes, I know. But I think this one is different. You have to tell me. I'm very enthusiastic to hear about your love adventure on this one."
"I'm not sure if you're still enthusiastic if I tell you." I left and hurried to my room.
He's a werewolf and you must be shocked and scared of Xander, Lex. I will not tell anyone. I whispered to myself.

"Kate, your loyal customers are waiting there." Tom yelled at me.
I looked in the direction Tom indicated. Henry, this bar customer always wants my mix drink. He wouldn't order anything if I didn't mix the drinks. This is no big deal to me, I don't mind because he likes giving me lots of tips.
I walk towards him.
"How is your mood tonight?" I asked, preparing a glass for drinks.
"A little tired because of my work, dear." Answer with a smile that can tempt every woman here, unless me, of course.
I laughed at the answer and said, "I'll make a drink for your mood on this one."
I mix drinks from some of the most popular bottles in this bar. Henry is not a difficult customer. He entrusted his drink to me.
A glass of drink made from my concoction is served in front of it. He sipped half of the glass and said, "Your ability to mix is getting better every day."
I was about to answer his words suddenly Karl came and patted Henry on the shoulder. "Sorry, sir. You must move to another place."
"What?" Henry asks in surprise because suddenly a big man like Karl come to him.
"I was assigned to take care of Miss Kate. So you have to move to another chair."
"What do you mean by being assigned? She's the bartender here. Of course I'll order drinks for the bartender. Are you crazy?" Henry replies with little intense. His mood turned a little bad today.
Not only was Henry surprised, I was multiple times more surprised than him. But suddenly I understood the meaning of Karl's words. I immediately took action.
"Karl, I'll go. Henry won't go anywhere. You come with me for a minute."
I walked to the back of the bar, to a quiet place.
"What does it mean?" I crossed my arms in front of my chest.
"I was really told to prevent you from being around another man for more than ten minutes, miss."
"Xander told you?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.
He nodded.
Of course he is. Who else would dare to do that to me. f**k it. Karl watched very closely from afar. If it continues like this I won't be able to run away and go home to avoid Xander. I feel like cursing Karl, but I know Karl has just carried out his orders. I gave up and continued my work. Be careful not to talk more than 10 minutes with all my customers. Some people frowned as I hurriedly left them while an interesting conversation was taking place. I have to hold back because I don't want Karl to make a fuss with my customers.
At 1 pm, Xander entered the bar. I could feel it when he walked and looked at me as if there was only me. I looked away and pretended to clean the neat glass.
He sat in front of me.
I came to him and asked. "Do you want to have a drink, sir?"
"I came here to pick you up."
"Where?"
"Home."
"My work hours are until 2pm. I can't go home now."
"I've talked to your boss. You can go home now. Come on."
"What did you do this time?"
“None, only changes your working hours. Go home now, baby. "
I rolled my eyes and turned to take my bag behind the bar. Lexy surprised me by appearing suddenly behind me and asked why Xander was here.
I just answered "He picked me up, and told me to go home."
"Is everything okay?"
"Yes, I am okay."
"I mean, you know it's not time for us to go home."
"Ah, he talked to Max. So I don't think it's a problem. Can you go home alone, Lex?"
"Of course. Kate, don't forget to use safety cons."
I hit her shoulder while laughing. "I'm just going home, i***t!"
Lexy laughed very satisfied after teasing me.
God damn it.
My plan to hide and run away from him failed. I didn't anticipate he would come pick me up early.
