Aron keeps running around his office like crazy because he feels bad. He can't explain the feeling he feels in his body but he has never felt like this before. It’s like a fear that will break his heart, a bit like if someone he cares about is going bad or is in danger. Even though he's an Alpha who can feel all the pain in his pack, it's not the same because this time, it's like a part of him is suffering immensely. For the morning, he is rather anxious and yet he does not have to worry because everything is going well, with his pack, his business and his projects but aside from that, the anxiety of the morning and the fact that his heart hurts intrigues him so much. Maybe he wants to go home, but the noise of the city doesn't help his situation because it's a big challenge for a wolf to live in the city.
“You’re still lost in thought as usual,” Aron hears.
It's Saga's voice and he wonders what Saga is doing in his office when he is responsible for taking care of the pack. The latter's attitude does not please him at all because his place is not in business. Something worries him and he needs to know it because it is in his interest.
“It went well this morning with the dismissal of… of…” Aron tries when he hesitates about the name.
“Liv Larsen?” ends Saga for him.
Liv Larsen, he wonders why his cousin needed to clarify his name when he doesn't want to hear it anymore. He hates this girl like never before and he can't wait for her to taste the bitter part that exists in him. This name resonates in his head like music as sweet as it is murky.
“Did it go well?” Aron asks again.
“To perfection and as I told you, this old man had a hard time but he still did it. She’s unemployed now.”
This news is supposed to make Aron happy and even if it does,he does not have the satisfaction he hoped to feel. He can't understand a certain number of things.
“I know you weren’t there but can you tell me exactly what time it was?”
“Aron forgive me but I don’t understand you. how come you want to know the time she was fired.”
“I just want to understand something okay?”
Saga huffs and goes to sit on the sofa, looking askance at his cousin. He carries out his orders as he asks and on top of that he must give him the time. It's crazy.
“You know that this business starts at eight in the morning and this girl, as dedicated as she was, always arrived in the morning so it was eight o'clock or five minutes past.”
This time, this time coincides perfectly with when he started to feel this weight on his chest. He doesn't understand anything about that. This girl is supposed to suffer, suffer alone and not drag him into this. She is the only one who has to pay for the harm her family did to her pack but not drag it with her.
“Now could you tell me what’s going on?”
He watches Saga for a few seconds and returns to his office chair. His cousin is very unpredictable and he doesn't want to tell him more without having the answer to his questions.
“And besides, I have better ways to do you good, my brother.”
And Aron who thinks that's all. He hopes it doesn't concern this girl anymore because she's seriously starting to piss him off.
“It concerns…” He says without being able to continue because this name provokes something worse in him.
“Liv Larsen,” Saga said with her psycho smile on her lips before continuing. “I don’t understand why you have trouble pronouncing your sworn enemy’s name. This is the b***h you're going to make pay for everything our people have suffered so sing her name like your trophy because soon it will be. No matter what you have accomplished in this life, seeing this girl burn on fire you made yourself will be your greatest victory and I will be there to applaud you and remind you that you are a king, not just any king but an alpha king, a Lycan.” Said Saga, dreaming of the scene as if it were happening.
Aron doesn't know if what Saga just listed is what he really wants. He wants to make this girl suffer and for a start, he wants to have her by his side.
“You still haven’t told me, Saga.”
“So I wanted to tell you that before I got here, just ten minutes ago, I saw him. At the entrance to the forest in his car and go find out what this girl was doing there.”
Honey-colored hair, white blouse tucked into a black suit, her bare legs and feet slipped into black pumps. He has not forgotten this image of her at all since that first time he saw it and the fact that his cousin tells him that he saw it in this same place pushes him to wonder what she was wearing this time.
“What was she doing in this place?”
“I don’t know but I made her heart beat to the point where she saw death coming. I liked reading this fear in his eyes and you see? It was satisfying.”
If only ten minutes passed from the moment he saw Liv, that would mean that it coincided with the moment when he started to feel bad like death was consuming him. He doesn't want to believe that he really suffers for her. He sweeps away everything on his desk as the hatred grows even more within him.
“Please calm down, Aron. But what’s happening to you?”
“What’s happening to me is that I wouldn’t want you to interfere in my affairs.You do what I ask you and that’s all.”
“And that’s what I do, Aron.”
“No, Saga! You did more than that because you had no right to bother this girl. Liv is my subject, a personal subject that I must treat delicately without needing the arguments of a third person, so in the future, refrain from approaching her in this way and that way I will be less upset."
Saga doesn't understand what he means at the end but before he asks more, Aron has already left his office without failing to slam the door like a madman.
