Part 3

Part 3

A foot touched the floor of a large hall in one of the high-rise buildings of the Varcolac Group. Instead of stepping inside, it paused when it felt something suddenly unsettle it.

Dhan inside felt it as well, the other side of him immediately sat up and watched from inside the man.

"You feel that?"

"Yes, this is very uncomfortable Al, what happened?"

"I don't know either, stay alert Dhan! Looks like today won't be a normal day."

Just as she had thought, today was indeed not an ordinary day. Because the scent of grass branches, blooming dahlias and red currants mixed in one infiltrated his rather sharp sense of smell, filled all parts of her brain, then spread to all her nerve cells, making her heart beat twice as fast and giving her great vibes.

Alcander couldn't continue talking, the smell made his whole body stiffen. Dhan in there didn't help either, he growled loudly and ordered Alcan to look for the origin of the smell.

Alcan sharpened his eyes and ears, scanning every guest present at this event. He was sure that the scent came from one of the invited guests in this hall. He ignored the calls of his father and mother to find the owner of the scent. Then...

"Everything's safe, right? Over..."

The small, soft voice caught his attention. His eyes went straight up and just as his blue eyes met the blonde's, Dhan shouted loudly.

"Mate!"

The call made Alcan realize that his 30 years of waiting had paid off. Up there... Standing in a maroon dress and blonde hair, looking back at Alcan with an innocent look of confusion. The woman who will be with him for the rest of his life.

"Claim him, Alcan! Make him ours! Bring him to the pack now!" Dhan orders impatiently.

But Alcan ignored him, he realized that he was the center of everyone's attention right now, at least he had to finish what he was doing before. As if nothing had happened, he broke his gaze from the woman, then continued his speech and ended it briefly.

Applause filled the hall, but he didn't want to wait any longer. It's been 30 years since he waited, Dhan is there too, pushing her. He left the stage immediately and walked straight and fast to the stairs leading to the top floor of the right wing of the hall, ignoring all the greetings from people who wanted to congratulate him.

Alcan continued to walk up, the tantalizing aroma filling his senses more and more. He ended up standing right behind the woman, the corners of his lips turning up at the sound of her feminine grunts. The blonde woman turned around and immediately screamed loudly, the handy talkie she was holding fell down with a slight noise, now the two of them were the center of attention.

The next second, Alcan's strong arms grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. He and Dhan liked what they were doing, not caring about the surprised exclamations of the invited guests. As the woman's body tensed, Alcan's embrace tightened, even boldly nuzzling his face into the crook of the long neck of a woman whose name he didn't yet know.

"I found you," Alcan whispered softly and calmly.

"What?"

"What's your name?" asked Alcan, looking directly into the beady eyes of the woman in his arms.

"Huh?"

"Your name?!"

"Seline."

"Seline," he let go of the hug and looked at the woman closely. His slightly dark blue irises suddenly turned silver in a matter of seconds, Seline's eyes widening perfectly as Alcan finished his sentence.

"Mate!"

"MY MATE!!!"

"Now you're mine, Seline! Only mine!"

His lips suddenly covered Seline's.

Noises filled the hall. Several pairs of eyes were surprised to see the live show of the two people of different genders. Contrary to Seline, whose mind suddenly felt empty due to the sudden kiss.

For a moment he seemed to hear a whisper.

"Your destiny has begun, my son..."

Seline blinked quickly and came to her senses as a rubbery object that belonged to this man entered her mouth.

My first kiss!

Seline pushed Alcan's broad chest, parted their lips, and then glared at the man in front of her. What kind of president hugs a woman he has just met and then kisses her on the lips, especially in front of many people? How rude! Embarrassing.

"Excuse me, sir, but I'm a good woman and I still have dignity! Excuse me!"

Seline walked backwards, past Alcan and then down the stairs, her face flushed as she remembered that she was the subject of many people's eyes. Her eyes caught a crowd of her division mates who looked at her with surprise and cynicism, Seline was sure that after this they might work on her again, they might think that she had seduced their new leader. Oh God, he had never been so embarrassed!

She stopped when she felt a hand grab her wrist. Seline turned to find Alcan standing behind her with a glare. The man immediately pulled her away, so Seline couldn't help but follow in the man's footsteps. She tried to pull at her wrist, which the man held tightly, but it was useless because the more Seline struggled, the tighter Alcan's grip became. People stared at the two of them in surprise, especially when they saw how Alcan was dragging Seline to the stage. What is this madman up to?

Seline and Alcan were standing right in front of Daynen and Mulan, both of them frowned when they saw them, Aldrid and Mayla also came closer, curious about what was happening.

"Mom," Alcan started, his hand still gripping Seline's wrist.

"Mom's ring," Alcan asked.

"Ring?" Mulan was confused.

"The ring," Alcan pointed to the ring wrapped around Mulan's ring finger.

"What about Alcan's ring?" said Dayen.

"That's a ring that belonged to your mother."

"So the ring doesn't belong to Mom anymore," Alcan replied.

Daddy doesn't understand, the ring has always belonged to your mother, why now..."

Daynen stopped his sentence when he felt his wife's hand on his arm, he turned to look at Mulan and found his wife looking intently at the blonde woman who was still trying to let go of her son's grip.

"Alcan," Mulan said. "Is she... Is she?"

"She will replace you, mother," Alcan answered all the questions in Mulan's mind.

The woman's eyes were completely round.

"Really!? You found her?" she asked enthusiastically.

"Yes Mom."

Mulan approached Seline immediately.

"Oh God, I wasn't expecting this..." she looked at Seline in amazement and immediately hugged the girl.

Seline's body stiffened, surprised by the second hug.

"Gosh..." Mulan's eyes began to tear up, happy that her prayer had been answered.

"Moongoddes, thank you."

"Mom, the ring!" Alcan urged, growing impatient.

Mulan let go of her embrace.

"Ah, of course. The ring..." she took off the white diamond ring that had adorned her ring finger.

Alcan, what's going on?"

"Wait," Mayla - who had been watching them - interrupted, "don't tell him..." she pointed at Seline, "is this what you've been looking for Sis, what we've been waiting for?"

"Yes!" Mulan replied, stroking Seline's blond hair. "She belongs to your sister Mayla," she said in an affectionate voice.

"No way! Yours!" The girl suddenly hugged Seline.

"Finally... Finally!!!" Mayla exclaimed happily.

"Tsk... Stop Mayla!" Alcan intercepted. "Mom, I asked for the ring earlier."

"Hm, you're impatient," Mayla scoffed.

Mulan immediately gave the ring to Alcan, then the man pulled Seline to the center of the stage, grabbed the microphone that was on the podium, and began to speak...

"In addition to my inauguration ceremony as the new President Director of Varcolac Group, today will also be my engagement ceremony."

One by one, people were surprised to hear the sudden announcement, the information seekers immediately raised their cameras and flashed, focusing on Alcan and Seline. It will be the hottest news and trending topic.

"As of today, I, Alcander Cirillo, will be engaged to Seline, the blonde woman I am currently dating."

Seline's eyes bulged perfectly. Not only crazy, but the new president had lost his mind, how could today be their engagement day? They had met for less than an hour! Kissing a man she'd just met was not on her list of things to do in life, especially as an impromptu fiancé like this. What was even more surprising was that this man's family didn't mind.Don't mess around, sir!" Seline warned, unable to control her voice as it began to rise.

"I was pretty surprised by the kiss and a couple of hugs earlier, but fiancé?! Seriously, I don't know what you're thinking or planning, but I wouldn't want to get engaged to a man I just met, especially if you don't have any manners like you do!"

"Wow..." Aldrid chuckled in awe.

"Alcan has found a worthy opponent. Ah... Looks like the house won't be boring from now on."

"Whatever you say, I won't argue. But what is certain is that we are engaged today!" he said finally.

The corners of Alcan's lips lifted, Seline's hand, which was still in her grip, slowly lifted and he placed the diamond ring on the woman's ring finger. The ring fits perfectly, and fits perfectly.

A flash of lightning illuminated them once more, followed by a standing ovation from the invited guests, who were still astonished by the unexpected engagement. Seline once again stared at Alcan in disbelief, she didn't even believe in herself, who couldn't pull her hand away so that the ring was wrapped around her finger.

Fixed. She is now Alcander Cirillo's fiancée.

Daynen approached Alcan and proudly patted his son on the shoulder.

"Looks like we need to do another inauguration ceremony, huh?" the man said. Alcan just smiled slightly.

"Yeaayy Big Bro..." Aldrid tapped Alcan's shoulder lightly.

"Finally you..."

Mulan and Mayla were now standing directly in front of Seline. "Welcome to the Cirillo family, Seline," Mulan said.

Seline looked at the two women confused, "What? But... I... But..."

"No buts," Mayla interjected. "How old are you?"

"Huh? 21 years," Seline replied, still with a confused look on her face.

"Wow... They are 9 years apart, we are the same age. Is it okay if I just call you Seline? Even though you will be my sister-in-law," Mayla said friendly. A kindness that made Seline uncomfortable.

"Mom knows you must still be shocked and confused by all of this, Seline. You will know everything for sure. What is clear is that you will be a part of our family from now on, just like our new Luna".
