CHAPTER 04: Kiss On The Lips

MILENA COULDN'T be wrong. It's really him! Alpha Angelov is really in front of her now that she suddenly held her breath.

He was already handsome before when she first saw him but now, he looked... untouchable. He had gained his reputation and his position now. He's too far from the man that she met years ago.

This man looks dominant, like he's conquering all the places that he had set his foot into. And Milena couldn't help but to be intimidated about it that she set her eyes on the ground, too ashamed with the fact that she's just so filthy and low to be in front of him now.

"Don't look down, honey. Your eyes are meant to only look at the same man and that's me."

A gasp escaped from Milena's lips. Even everyone who's there was so shocked from what they heard. And what really shocked the hell out of Milena is when she felt Alpha Angelov's finger on her chin, lifting it up gently as he crouched down his head a bit to meet her eyes.

"A-Alpha..." Milena uttered as soon as he met his gaze. His eyes are like the forest, green and intense that she couldn't help but to get hypnotised by it.

"What's your name, honey? I'd like to know the name of my soon to be bride," he said that earned a lot of murmurs in the surrounding.

"What? The Alpha is choosing her?! A commoner?! This can't be!"

"What has gotten into Alpha Angelov that he chose someone like her?!"

Milena has a lot of questions in mind as well. Why her? Of all the women out there who obviously prepared for this day and made sure that they're beautiful in his eyes, why did he choose her?

Did she really hear Alpha Angelov right? He wants her to be his bride?!

Her heart is beating so fast thinking about the idea of spending this lifetime with Alpha Angelov. It all seems like a dream. But she couldn't help but to be happy about it. She wants this to happen, too. She wants to be with him forever. He's the only reason why she keeps on fighting to live until today. He constantly saved her without him knowing about it. His necklace was enough source for her to keep living everyday despite all the hardships that she's facing.

Alpha Angelov suddenly looked at the sea of people who were murmuring earlier. His alpha aura suddenly rolled off him as he clenched his jaw looking at them all.

"If there's someone who doesn't like my idea of marrying this woman beside me, tell it to my face now. If you happen to not like my decision, feel free to object. But you should know that I won't go easy on you!"

As if on a cue, the whole place was filled with silence. They all looked down, afraid to meet Alpha Angelov's eyes... like they didn't murmur their defiance on his decision to make Milena as his bride.

"I-I have a question, Alpha!"

They all looked at the woman who suddenly talked. Even Milena looked at her and stepped back a bit unconsciously upon seeing that it was Karla. She trembled meeting Karla's gaze but then she instantly calmed down when she felt a warm calloused hand wrapped her hand as if making her calm.

Milena looked at Alpha Angelov who's now holding her. He's now looking seriously at Karla. Milena wanted to ask him why he suddenly held her hand but she doesn't have the courage anymore. And besides, she likes the feeling of it. She likes his warmth so much.

"What is it?" Alpha Angelov asked with his formal and serious tone.

Karla seemed skeptical but then she tried to compose herself as she clears her throat. "I'm just wondering, Alpha... Why did you choose her? Well, there are other women out here who're far more... better than her and more suited to be your Luna, you know." She laughed awkwardly.

Alpha Angelov suddenly looked at Milena, his gaze becoming gentle. "Why not her? I instantly felt the connection as soon as I saw her. This is the first time that I felt this way. I want her to be mine before it's too late for me."

"W-What?" Karla laughed. "Don't get me wrong, Alpha. There's a lot of women who have the same level as you. Someone who has a higher position and would definitely make your reputation better. But... why..."

"I already answered your question. That's enough reason for me to choose her."

And with that, Alpha Angelov suddenly pulled Milena's hand as they both left the place. But before that, Milena even saw how Karla glared at her like she's already killing her in her mind. Milena quickly withdraws her gaze from her as she focuses on her hand where Alpha Angelov is holding her instead. He held her like he's so afraid to be away from her.

She blushed at that thought. But then, even though she likes the idea of being married to Alpha Angelov, she wanted to also ask him why he chose her. It feels like it wasn't real at all.

That's why when they're already in front of a luxurious car, Milena stopped from walking.

"W-Wait..." She almost whispered as she withdraw her hand from his. Although she likes the feeling to be held by him, she wants to clear things up first.

"Yes? Do you have something to say?" Alpha Angelov asked seriously this time. And upon hearing his tone right now, Milena suddenly couldn't help but to shiver. His tone seems to be more different now. He's somehow... warm earlier but now...

Or maybe she's just imagining things.

"Where are we going?" Milena found the courage to ask as she looked down on her clothes. That's when she realised that her dress is so dirty already. And she probably stinks right now. She couldn't help but to be more ashamed about it.

"We're going to my pack. That's where you're going to live from now on. Because you're my soon to be bride," he said as if it's just a matter of fact.

"B-But... I haven't agreed about this yet," Milena said nervously. "And I can't just leave this place."

"Why? Do you live with someone? Parents? I shall talk to them because you need to be with me. You won't have to stay longer here anymore."

"I don't but... I have a friend." She thought about Joshua. He will surely feel bad once she leaves this place without even informing him. He's the only friend that he got.

"I'm sure your friend will understand if you need to be with me from now on. C'mon, I have no more time left. I'm busy and need to check on my pack. Let's just go," he said as if he's really losing so much of his time.

Not wanting to be a nuisance anymore, Milena quickly went inside the car with him as the driver manoeuvred the car.

They were both silent the whole ride. No one dares to speak for a couple of hours before they finally reach the pack where Alpha Angelov is leading.

It happened so fast. The next moment, Alpha Angelov was already holding her waist inside a room as he whispered something in her ear.

"I have a favour," he said that almost came out as a whisper.

"W-What is it, Alpha?"

"Pretend to be My Luna and I'll give you anything in return."

He suddenly kissed her on the lips.
