Chapter 22 Not of the Same Path The air was filled with the powerful and oppressive presence of the Alpha . * 71 % # Finished The mans tall figure cast a shadow on the ground , and his crisp suit matched his unapproachable demeanor . His carefully sculptured face sent hearts fluttering . Undoubtedly , he was Selenes biggest pride , for he was breathtakingly stunning Sir_ The manager approached to greet him, but the man showed no intention of acknowledging her and went straight to the scattered shocboxes . Charlotte saw his handsome face , and her heart skinned a beat . A Alpha ? The Alpha of Snowwolf Pack What … what are you doing here ? He must have seen how Celica scratched her foot earlier . This should show him what a vulgar and dumb wolf Celica was Nathaniel furrowed his brows tightly when he saw Celicas crimson fingers , and he used his wolf like amber eyes to glare at Charlotte . Is this your doing ? Earlier , when he walked in , he had only seen Celica striking Charlotte . As Charlotte was the one who started the fight first , she was now a little jittery , and her voice shook as she exclaimed , No , please believe me . I saw Celica working here and especially came in to ask her colleagues to take care of her . Celica wore a deadpan face . As a wolf who was always bullied , she didnt believe that this Alpha would stand on her side . Shes our customer , and Im working here . Thats all . She did not dare to meet his sharp eyes , and her tone was flat . Despite that , she and her wolf were mad with fury . More than ever , she wished that she was a capable werewolf . Then , others would think twice before picking on her . Nathaniels face grew taut , and his inherent arrogance instantly froze the atmosphere . Go ? So others can bully you as they please here ! This wolf was a master at sarcasm . Was she saying that he did not have the ability to protect his Luna ? With that , he grabbed her wrist . Youre coming with me . Nathaniels tone was so domineering that it left no room for refusal . Celica turned grim as she was forcefully dragged out of the store . Im still working ! Im just a regular employee . Unlike you , Im not working in the company of my pack and can leave any time I want . The way this Alpha from a major pack was acting was ridiculous . Did he think that every employee could actually do as they wished ? From Nathaniels appearance to his taking Celica away , the manager didnt dare to say a word . She recognized this remarkable Alpha as the CEO of the shopping mall . Although he had only appeared briefly on the day of the stores opening , his powerful Alpha presence and incredibly handsome face were absolutely unforgettable . Nathaniel stopped in his tracks , his face cold and imposing , and his slender fingers produced a black card , … hich ha handed in tha minnamor Thu , 13 Mar Chapter 22 Not of the Same Path Then , he continued to lead Celica away . You can get off work now Of course , Celica didnt want to leave , but she had no choice . fonshed Nathaniel was always firm in his decisions . If he wanted her to go , she had to go . If she didnt , he had ways to make her obedient . Charlotte watched as the duo left together , her face contorted with anger as she viciously kicked the brand- new shoes D mn it ! That dumb wolfhart my supple skin today ! Why did the Alpha appear and stand on that dumb wolfs ride when shes just another common wolf ? After leaving the mall . Nathaniel shoved Celica into the back seat of the car before promptly joining her The spacious interior suddenly felt cramped , and the atmosphere sank to its lowest depths . Nathaniel offered no explanation whatsoever . He simply pulled her into his embrace , and his tall frame pressed close . Celicas lips were caught off guard by his , and her soft bosom collided with his solid and broad chest . The mans scorching body temperature sent shivers throughout her body , making her heart race uncontrollably . Nathaniel greedily sucked on her lips like a beast , and the womans soft breath , mixed with a hint of fragrance , created an intoxicating scent that left him captivated again and again . Celicas brain finally snapped out of its blank state , and she pushed him away . Nathaniel , what are you doing ? Let go of me ! Did he just drag me from my workplace in broad daylight to kiss me ? Does he have nothing better to do ? No , things werent that simple . Instead , Celica had a feeling that he was in heat . Did he drag her out of her workplace because he wanted to mate ? Though being pushed away , Nathaniel wasnt upset . Instead , a sly grin crept onto his lips . His predatory eyes were fixed on Lunas face , and he coldly said , You shouldve known this would happen from the moment you fooled me . How dare you , Celica ? Did you forget that youre my mate and the Luna of Snowwolf Pack ? Mr. Hyde , I wont forget how difficult it is to be the Luna of the Snowwolf Pack , but you should reflect upon your actions . I told you that I merely danced once in Phoccocks place , but the thing you bought is her dance and not me ! She clenched her fists and glared daggers at him . She hadnt done anything wrong . Nathaniel was so angry that he sniggered . Even so , you had no reason to set me up with another she wolf . Do you know that , thanks to you , I nearly died- He suddenly stopped himself . If Celica found out he was allergic to other she wolves but had no reaction to her , she would surely misunderstand . She might think he was only with her because he had no other choice . Meanwhile , Celica gave him an irritated glance . Its just a change in women . Do you need to make such a big deal out of it ? The atmosphere fell into a brief silence , and Nathaniel stared at her with his deep gaze . N Chapter 22 Not of the Same Path Finished Celica turned her head away , feeling uncomfortable all over . She felt his large hand still gripping her slender waist . Let go of me . you pervert ! She couldnt comprehend why an Alpha would be interested in her , and every time , he would lay his paws on her like he was in heat . Hearing the protests from his mate . Nathaniel was a little disgruntled . So many she wolves out there were dying for his attention , but the one in his arms had no idea how lucky she was . Hence , he refused to let go and held her even tighter . With their already limited space getting even closer , Celicas thin lips were nearing Nathaniels chin . Her gaze landed on his magnetic Adams apple , then moved up to his sensual jawline and lips . It reminded her of that night when he had brought her to climax with just his mouth … Nathaniels thin lips brushed against her ear . If embracing my mate makes me a pervert , then what about making love ? What does that make me , huh ? Celica almost jumped in exasperation . Nathaniel always said such lewd things to her , which made her feel like she was a hooker . He had acted out of line ! What a load of crap ! she snapped , her eyes welling up with frustration . Staring at her face , which was puffed up in anger , he couldnt help but chuckle . Alright , alright . Ill stop . Lets go home . He was going to let what happened that night slide . He needed to be more patient when dealing with his mate because he could sense that she hadnt fallen for him yet . He had to be gentler to her . Im not going back ; I still have my part time job ! She had left her job without even knowing if the manager would fire her . But upon further consideration , even if the manager didnt mind . Charlotte would definitely not let it go so easily . Needless to say , this part time job would also be lost . Nathaniels eyes narrowed as he tightly grasped her delicate wrist . The gentle touch made it seem like he could easily break her bones with a little more pressure . Why did you get a part time job ? Do you enjoy being bullied ? As the Luna of Snowwolf Pack , nobody will dare to step on your paws . His words sparked her anger . In her opinion , he simply looked down on her and her job . What do you mean that I like to be bullied ? Its all because I need money , lots of it ! Will the Snowwolf Pack give me a huge sum of money without any conditions ? Money was needed for her mothers medical bills , her living expenses , and even to get back at the Silvermoon Pack later . Did she have another choice ? What a joke ! Speaking about money with a strong and wealthy Alpha was akin to asking for humiliation . If you need money so badly , just stay by my side and be my Luna , and Ill give you any amount of money that you want . Nathaniels tone was so serious that he sounded as though he could hand over the entire Snowwolf Pack to her as long as she agreed to his terms . Why didnt she want the wealth and status that countless she wolves could only dream of ? Moreover , she also had the position of the Luna of the Snowwolf Pack . All you have to do is please me a little , and I will give you the whole world . This sentiment was clearly written all over Nathaniels face , and that arrogant demeanor was somewhat unbearable . Celica let out a light sigh . In the eyes of Alphas like Nathaniel , everything was always this simple . Thu , 13 Mar Chapter 22 Not of the Same Path : Finished She looked up . Nathaniels expression remained serious , but she had no patience to explain further . Nathaniel , were simply not on the same path . We are like Mars and Jupiter , never meant to be together . The Alpha said nothing . We should terminate our agreement as soon as possible . Lets look for Selene when were both free and have her reject the mating agreement upon Title: A Princess? No!
