My Alpha Partner

Chapter 4 : Dinner

• Tor •

The big gate with vintage classic style looks so magnificent, I saw the luxurious gate as if I saw the gate to hell. I always remember a time in this house where I was badly treated. The insults and hate that were given to me just because I was a black werewolf. To my grandfather and those old-fashioned elders, black werewolves were bad luck that had to be thrown away from his sight. Since I was little I hated coming to this house, a house full of crazy rules.

I remember when I was little, that day was my grandfather's birthday. My family came to celebrate, Sig and I wished him a happy birthday and gave him the gifts that we both had prepared. Likewise with the other grandchildren, all of them brought gifts for my grandfather. But when I gave my gift to him without even seeing what I gave, grandfather immediately gave the gift to his subordinates and asked them to throw it away, while the gifts from his other grandchildren he kept beside his seat and some of them even opened immediately, including Sig. Just remembering it pissed me off, how bad he was for such a small child. Since then, I have always refused to give gifts to my grandfather on his birthday even though I gave gifts to be just a formality and my mother prepared them.

I also vividly remember how my grandfather when my mother died, he was just silent and did not seem to have a hint of sadness or sympathy for my father and his little grandchildren. Even just a few days after mother's death, grandfather introduced an omega to dad. Even though my mother always respects him and treats him well. I really hated him, I was even very reluctant to meet him but as long as he was alive, he was the most powerful in this pack.

Ben is in the steering seat while I sit in the back like the boss and their subordinates when driving the car. I looked at Ben several times, I know Ben also feels uncomfortable meeting my grandfather. I feel that Grandpa already knows a little about my relationship with Ben, which is not just friendship or the relationship between superiors and subordinates. It must be because of that, Grandpa also wanted to match Ben because Ben definitely couldn't refuse his orders. I'm very dizzy taking care of my grandfather who always interfere with my business.

Grandfather started to look at me and think of me since I started to show my abilities in academics and in combat, especially when he knew that I was alpha dominant and my pheromone was very strong. Grandfather may think that even though I am not become a substitute for my father to become the leader of the pack, I am very useful to the pack because of my ability, Grandpa became more and more interested in me after I defeated and replaced the position of the leader of the special group in a battle manner that clearly showed how strong I was. But since then, grandfather always intervened and arranged my every move so that it seemed like it was difficult for me to breathe calmly. Plus the elders and other alpha who wanted to take my position and knock me down, making me even more dizzy and tired.

Ben stopped the car in front of the house entrance, several house servants and guards were standing at the door waiting for my arrival. I saw in the parking lot that there were already some foreign cars that definitely didn't belong to the Harold family. All cars used by the Harold family had a special license plate indicating that it was the Harold family car. Even though many of the Harold family also have private cars with free plates, it is very unlikely that a car without the Harold family's special plate will enter this house because apart from not being allowed to enter, if only allowed when the time Grandpa knew for sure the car would immediately turn its plate into a license plate of Harold family. What a dictator.

Ben got out of the car and waited for me to get out of the car, a guard opened the door for me. I walk lazily into the house, Ben walking behind me. When I entered the living room, I saw my grandfather along with 4 other guests who I could guess who they were. I greeted them, and so did Ben. Grandfather immediately ordered me to sit down, I immediately sat on the single sofa opposite my grandfather. Meanwhile Ben remained standing behind me calmly. Butler gave me a glass of tea that is still hot with steam that is clearly visible, I just silently stared at the tea in the white cup.

"Tor, this is Mr Yosio and his family," said my grandfather in his commanding voice.

"Good evening, Mr. Yosio. I'm Tor Torin Harold", I said introducing myself.

"Young master Tor, you are an adult now. I once met you on the day of your mother's death, when you were very young. Now you are an adult already and very handsome", said Mr. Yosio with a friendly attitude and full of fake smiles.

"Of course sir, it's been a long time", I said with full falsehood.

"Oh, this is my wife and this is my daughter, Angela and this is my adopted son, Jay. They are both omega. Greet Angel, Jay", said Mr. Yosio.

I just smiled to see the two children greeted me sweetly. I saw the two omegas that looked very fragile but the girl looked very arrogant and the boy seemed very depressed even though he covered it with a smile. In just one look, I can tell that the treatment that the two children receive are very different. Both are very young, maybe in their teens, maybe the same age as Kin or younger. They are crazy to want to match the 27 year old me with a child who is maybe 10 years younger than me. I can only sigh at the sight of the two.

"Sir, dinner is ready", said the butler to my grandfather.

Without replying to the butler's words, Grandpa immediately said, "Let's have dinner before the food is cold. Come on, Mr. Yosio".

We all walked to the dining table, I saw Ben who was still in his original position and finally walked behind the butler. I sighed, I wanted to walk over to Ben and take his hand. We were all in front of dining table my grandfather sitting in the main chair and I sat next to him in front of me was Mr. Yosio. Next to me the girl named Angel got ready to sit down. Our seats were pulled by the staff behind us, except for me, Ben was the one who pulled up my chair and prepared the plates for me. I gestured for Ben to stop, but Ben just kept quiet and continued to serve me. I saw Angel, who turned out to be served by her adoptive brother named Jay, Jay did not seem to be sitting down to eat together. I remember when in the living room Jay also didn't sit together on the long sofa but sat on the single sofa next to Angel but always kept his head down. Compared to say their children, Jay looks like a servant to Angel. I saw Ben and Jay who remained standing behind my chair and Angel's chair.

I tried to stay cool and not show my discomfort. Several times I glanced at Ben who was standing next to Jay. My feeling say that is my grandfather wants to match Ben with this boy named Jay, even though the child is called an adopted child, it is clear that Jay is Angel's servant. Even though Ben is a bodyguard, Ben's family is not from the common place, Ben's father's family is an alpha who is hereditary to be the right hand man of the pack leader in this family and also owns many properties under the Copland family name while Ben's mother's family is a family that still has royal bloodlines in Europe. Ben's mother himself is a famous designer, even though Ben's family is a very ordinary family and doesn't like to show their wealth.

How could grandfather want to match Ben to someone who is treated like a lowly servant like that, not to mention that Mr. Yosio's family is not a very rich and powerful family but I don't know the way Grandpa thinks so I can't guess.

"Look, Mr. Harold. Doesn't Angel look suitable sitting next to Mr. Tor?" Said Mr. Yosio with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, of course they are very suitable", said my grandfather with a laugh.

"Mr. Harold, isn't behind Mr. Tor js Mr. Ben, the son of Mr. Copland?" Said Mr. Yosio's wife.

"Oh right, Ben introduce yourself", said the grandfather told Ben.

Ben immediately stood closer to the dining table and greeted, "Good evening, I'm Benjamin Copland."

"Wow, you are handsome too, it looks like Jay will definitely suit you, Mr. Ben", said Mr. Yosio.

I clenched my fists, I tried to hold back. The dinner was over with the full of chatter that really bothered me, I'm even lazy to remember what they were talking about. Their words disgust me, I am tired and dizzy to hear them.

I got up from the sofa, "I'll excuse myself for a moment to go to the bathroom."

I walked to the bathroom, I could not understand what they were talking about continuously. It's already late and I want to rest, I stood in the bathroom for a long time and I was reluctant to go out. The sound of knocking on the door startled me.

"Young master, Mr. Yosio and his family will go home. Old Master asked you to escort them to the front door," said Ben quietly.

I immediately opened the door, I looked around and pulled Ben into the bathroom. As soon as I closed the door, I hugged Ben tightly.

"I'm tired," I say near Ben's ear.

"Young master, let me go. You have to escort guests out", said Ben still with formality.

I looked into Ben's eyes that were only a few cm below me. I let go of the smile on my face and kissed Ben's lips.

"You haven't had dinner yet, hungry?", I said a moment after releasing my kiss.

Ben sighed, "Get out quickly, young master."

Ben release himself form my hug and opened the bathroom door slowly and looked around, seeing that no one was around, Ben immediately came out and pulled me out of the bathroom. Finally I walked with Ben back to the living room, I straightened my clothes and arranged my expression again.

Arriving at the living room, I made small talk and apologized for taking too long in the bathroom. Everything seemed normal and was still chatting for a while until finally Mr. Yosio's family said goodbye to go home. I escorted the Yosio family out to the front door. After they left, Ben and I walked in to say goodbye to Grandpa to go home.

I walked in front of Ben, I prepared to say that if I was not interested in the daughter of the Yosio family and gave a thousand reasons why I refused. But just when I met grandfather, grandfather immediately stood up from his seat and slapped my cheek so hard that I could smell the fishy smell from my own mouth. Everyone in the room looked shocked but just kept quiet and looked away, I looked at Ben who was behind me. Ben looks taken aback, I flash my smile to him and just blink my eyes slowly.

"How dare you, behave inappropriately in front of guests. Indeed I don't know what you are thinking, keep acting like that. This time you can't help but marry the Yosio family child," said Grandpa very loudly and commandingly.

"Grandpa, I refuse. she's too young for me and I don't like kids", I said trying to calm down.

"It's not up to you. You've always refused to get married. You're not young anymore, you already old enough to get married. Look at Sig. He already has kids. Luckily there are werewolves who want you, someone who bring bad luck. Go meet that kid a few times and get married in the spring ", said my grandfather with a tone of contempt.

I wanted to answer his words, but grandfather immediately walked away leaving me and Ben in the living room. A few steps before Grandpa entered another room, Grandpa turned around and saw Ben.

"You, marry that male omega. You are compatible, both servants", Grandpa immediately turned around after saying that and left.

I was very angry and wanted to get it out. Ben patted my shoulder lightly.

"Young master, I'll prepare the car to go home," said Ben, who immediately turned around.

I know Ben must be hurt and angry too. I want to repay grandfather's words, I don't know if my strength is now capable of defeating grandpa in this battle. I don't know how long I have to give in to that old geezer. I am tired.

I got out of the house and saw Ben who was standing beside the car. When I walked over quickly Ben immediately opened the car door for me. I sighed and got into the car. Ben immediately walked to the driver's seat and started the car. Ben drove quietly without saying a word, I wanted to talk to Ben but somehow my lips could not open to talk about the problem earlier. I could only stay silent and saw Ben who was driving, I looked at the side of the road several times and saw many restaurants that had closed. I remember that Ben hasn't had dinner yet, I told Ben to stop by the side of the road. I took Ben to eat at one of the ramen restaurants on a narrow street where cars can't enter.

"Where are you going?" Asked Ben.

"I'm hungry, come with me," I said, who immediately took Ben's hand.
