Chapter 36: Don't Sit Next To Me
Chapter 36: Don't Sit Next To Me
~*~*~
*VENUS's POV*
Why am I feeling this way? Though I was already used to being angry most of the time. It was kind of
different this time since all I've thought about was how Derek still wants to hide our relationship from
other people by shutting my mouth off earlier.
I mean.. was he that embarrassed with me?
The fact that I can't even tell him off makes me more upset about the situation. I was so drowned in my
vengeful thoughts that it didn't occur to me that Derek had stopped the car.
"Isn't that... Alpha Seff?"
What? I glanced to see the road in front of us, and to my surprise, Alpha Seff was really standing right
in front of the car. Our eyes quickly met that I was quick to avoid it. Why is that psycho here again? I
groaned in frustration.
Jojo chuckles, "Looks like Alpha Seff is coming along with us."
"He's also going to the meeting?" Liam asks him.
"Of course, Dark Moon is part of the Great Five Packs."
"His pack is part of the great five packs? then why the hell does he have so much free time on his
hands?" Noah grumbles annoyingly, even I agreed to him for the first time.
Like the psycho he is, he playfully walked towards Derek's car seat and leaned on the side. He takes
another mocking glance towards my direction before meeting Derek's front.
"I'm hurt, we're always going together whenever there's a summit but look how you've abandoned me
for your rookies?"
"I already told you we're not going together." Derek firmly says in an annoyed tone.
"When did you say that?"
"I sent you a message."
"That's a bummer. I've never seen it. And I think I broke my phone a week ago."
Everyone in the car saw how irritated Derek had become through the rearview mirror, yet Seff
continued to worsen the situation as if he didn't know the consequences himself.
"Seff, if you're just here to mess with Venus again, I won't let you off. I already told you not to fuck
around with my pack members, didn't I?" Derek lowly growls. His bloodlust surges as it clashes against
the man beside him.
Even that idiot Seff was omitting a hostile air around him.
"I bet that Alpha Derek will win if they fight now," Noah laughs sinisterly under his breath.
"I bet they won't fight," - Jojo.
Liam groans, pulling down his eye cover, "Whatever, I'm going to sleep."
I sighed. The two were just staring at each other like they were secretly communicating through some
kind of medium. It only took about a minute before Seff withdrew his bloodlust.
Seff snickers, "Are you really going to act like this? You already banned me from going to Crescent
Moon. Now you're going to leave your lifelong friend in the middle of the road?"
"Is it my fault you deliberately left yourself in the middle of the road?" He replied, and I realized that the
conversation was nowhere ending because of their damned pride.
I can't take this anymore. At this point, we won't be going anywhere! They just keep fighting in circles!
Using the loudest voice I could make, I shouted in annoyance.
"Just get him on the damn car! and let's go!"
Derek's eyes widened in my direction as if he didn't hear my loudest voice clearly. He grumbles, "Are
you serious?"
"Well, do you have any other ideas to ward him off? and he's going to the same place anyway. So just
get over it, and let's go!"
"But-"
I crossed my arms, "Let's go."
With no other choice but to listen to me, Derek cursed under his breath and glared at his friend beside
him. On the other hand, Seff was too happily overjoyed that he skipped as he opened the door at the
back seat.
"What are you doing?! you're not sitting there!" Derek growls before looking at Easton, "Easton, go sit
beside Liam. He's going to sit beside me."
Easton nods in compliance.
"What? But I want to sit beside Venus." Seff sheepishly smiled at me.
I didn't even have to look when I saw Derek glare at him threateningly. He says through a low voice,
"The back is already full. Stop talking gibberish."
"Really? Then Noah and I can just switch seats then," He looks at Noah.
Like a loyal fellow, Noah understood the assignment that Alpha wants, so he strongly disagrees. He
firmly placed his position on his seat and shook his head, "Forgive me alpha Seff, my butt seems to be
stuck in this seat. I can't switch with you."
Seff frowned for a split second, showing displease. At the same time, it was apparent that Derek mind
linked Noah and praised him. It was all evident in their faces, these idiots. Seff glanced at Jojo and saw
that he wasn't willing to give his seat either.
"I can't relax without beta Venus so I will also decline the offer."
"How about this?" Seff fakely smiled, his annoyance showing. "One of you give your seat to me then I'd
grant you one free service in the Rohan Guild."
What? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. After all, though he was the Guild's master, I've never
heard of the guild master giving benefits like this even with their most important clients. Isn't he going
too far just because of a seat next to me?
I have only a few months left.
I can't even tell if he's doing this to mess with me since he knows my secret or if he just wants to sit
beside me. Either way, knowing him isn't beneficial to me at all.
"What? How are you affiliated with the Rohan Information guild?" Noah asks with wide eyes.
"That's a trade secret. But I can tell you if you give up your seat."
I glanced at Jojo. He was talking to Noah through mind link, so I couldn't help but sigh at how things
were going. When are we going, for fuck's sake? When my eyes landed on the rearview mirror, Derek
sent me a message through mind link.
["What are you doing? Just say something to ward him off!"]
I stared at him in disbelief, ["Why don't you do it? why not just ran him over, huh?"]
["If only i could, but if i do that. This dude will rise from the dead and fuck up our ride. His wolf is as big
as mine. If he damages our vehicle, then we'll be running for almost a day to get there. Do you want
that? Anyway this wouldn't have happened if you just agreed to sit beside me."]
Tsk.
So the only reason why he's even bothering with this jerk is that he realized that it was possible that he
could mangle us in anger? Since they're lifelong friends, maybe he's right after all. And who is he
kidding? i'm still pissed at him so i won't sit next to him.
Let's end this. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
I rolled my eyes. Using the last bit of patience in my voice, I said to him, "Stop bothering my squad and
just sit beside Alpha Derek. If you refuse, you can just walk on your way then."
