Chapter 4

Third Person’s POV

.

.

.

Though Zayden had said that it didn’t matter to him but, deep down in his heart, a part of him was wishing that should not be the case because if..., if what Eric had said would come out as truth. Then things would be difficult. It would surely not affect Zayden, but it would surely affect her and her family.

.

Eric felt awkward after listening to Zayden’s words, but he quickly changed the topic. “Did you see the file of that rogue which I had kept on your table?” He asked. Zayden closed his eyes when he realized that he was disturbed today as he never delays finishing the pending work. “No problem. Alpha. I will share what is there in that file!”

.

“Alright, go on!”

.

“He is now married, Alpha. He has a wife and twin daughters of 1 year.”, Eric said. “And he lives in the nearby colony as a human with his human mate.”, He added.

.

“Fine then, let’s pay him a visit.”, Zayden said, and he checked the time. “I am sure that mutt will be at his home right now, enjoying his family time.”, He added and took out his pistol and placed silver bullets in it. Zayden would have dealt with him in his wolf form if that mutt would not have been living between the humans. But no worries, he had another option. He was famous for having a good criminal record in the human world.

.

“Zayden, I know you forgive no one but... but will you kill him? I mean, he has an innocent family.” Eric asked, but didn’t receive any response from Zayden. He started following Zayden as he started walking out of the bungalow.

.

Zayden’s car appeared in front of him, but he signaled to the driver that he didn’t need it. It was a small town. Visiting somewhere with a car would gain quiet attention, and he wanted to keep things low.

.

.

“I am feeling hungry, Zayden. As I didn’t eat the food, which the new cook had made because it was horrible. Would you mind if I eat something here?” Eric asked Zayden. Zayden was about to snap at Eric but, when he saw Eric wanted to eat at the same place where he had seen that woman, He nodded his head before he could control his head. He was uncertain, but he was hoping to meet that woman again. Zayden was using his hat to hide his face, as he didn’t want anyone to run away from him because of fear. That’s why Eric always used to talk with others and he used to stay behind him, giving orders and making decisions.

.

.

Grace had just locked the kitchen and was about to leave when she saw a man talking to the owner. It was already 1’0 clock, and she wanted to go home. That’s why she was praying in her mind that this man was not there to have dinner. When Christian, the owner, saw her, she knew that whatever he was going to say next was something she didn’t want to hear.

Everyone had already left, and she was the only one left there.

.

“Sorry, Grace.”, He started. “They are starving, so will you please prepare something special for them?” He asked.

.

‘Can I say no? I guess NOT.’, Grace thought. After all, Christian used to pay double or sometimes triple the amount for overtime, and money was the most important thing she needed at this stage of life. Grace sighed and nodded before walking back to the kitchen. As she was so busy with her things, she didn’t realize that a pair of blue eyes were staring at her without blinking the eyes.

.

Call it a coincidence or destiny, but Zayden was not expecting to see Grace. He meant it was too late. A small smile appeared on his lips, more like a smirk when he saw her. Now, even he wanted to eat the food that Grace was preparing.

He looked at Grace keenly and listened to the conversation between Christian and Grace, all thanks to his power.

.

Eric took a glance at Zayden and saw him smile. His smile gave him a kind of happiness, as Zayden was not someone who always smiled. They waited for half an hour until Grace came to their table, holding the food in her hand.

She was about to keep those plates on the table when she accidentally dropped some of the food on Eric’s clothes.

.

“I am so sorry... I am very….”, She was immediately cut off by Eric.

.

“It’s totally fine, Miss.”, He gave a warm smile to his future Luna. Grace gave him a weak smile and passed him the tissue so that he could clean his shirt.

.

“I am sorry, Sir.”, She whispered softly and slowly, which brought a smile to Zayden’s lips again. Her gesture amazed him.

.

“As I said. It’s totally fine, Miss.” Eric replied. He couldn’t help himself thinking that Alpha was the opposite of Luna. He was not complaining, but Zayden didn’t have these manners and a kind heart.

Once Grace left the table, she was sure that these two people would not give a penny as a tip. After all, she had spoiled the shirt of that man. Not to mention, even Christian would deduct her salary if these customers refused to pay the bill. She was thinking about her loss when her eyes finally landed on a man with a hat, who had almost hidden his face with it.

.

‘That’s weird.’, She thought.

.

.

The rest of the services were taken care of by Christian. She was just waiting for them to leave so that she could also leave for home. After a while, Christian came inside the kitchen, looking for her.

“They are asking for you, Grace.”, He said. “I just hope this has nothing to do with the stupidity that you did before.”, He added, to which Grace looked at him with her big brown eyes.

.

‘And today is the last day of my job.’, She thought sarcastically.

.

.

“Yes, sir. How can I help you?”, She asked Eric politely, with a small smile on her face.

.

“Here.” Eric passed an envelope towards her. “This is a small amount of tip for serving us the best food of our life.”, He said truthfully. After a long time, Eric had eaten something delicious in the human world. Though these were Zayden’s words, since he had no idea how to speak with the woman, so he had asked Eric to say these words to her. That’s a different thing that even Eric had felt the same.

.

Grace was hesitant to take the envelope, but after a while, she finally took it. “Thank you, sir.”, She replied.
