Book 2- Chapter 19
“No, dad.” Artemis denied it again.
“It’s your birthday after three days, and you want to spend your birthday away from family?” Artemis’s Dad asked again.
“Yes, Dad. I have decided, and my decision is final. I will be spending my birthday here this year.” Artemis said in determination.
“With the girl about whom Gaby informed us?”
“Yes, and Dad, she is my second chance, mate. She…”
“Rubbish!” Artemis’s Dad growled at his son. “If you have forgotten, then we had decided to visit New York in search of Caro, the girl that will be fit for you.”
“Not that ‘CARO’ again, dad. I have been hearing about her from the moment I turned ten. And expect from her look and her name, you know nothing about her.”
“I do. I know that she is the daughter of your mother’s best friend, and they had promised to get their kids married when they were young.” Lorenzo, Artemis’s father, said, shutting Artemis’s mouth. Lorenzo knew that Artemis could never go against his mother’s word if she would say something strictly.
It was also true that this stupid bride was his mother’s choice, but it was just to awaken the man inside him who died a long ago. And also in the hope of finding a second chance mate of him.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I… I will let you know if there will be any sort of the change in plan, Dad.” Artemis said, changing the topic.
“Fine! Change the topic, and don’t talk about it. I won’t rest in peace until I find her.”
“I will see what miracle is going to happen this year. Because until and unless Moon Goddess doesn’t want that to happen. You won’t be able to find her, and she is bound to be my destiny. Then I can find her, here, in Spain as well.”
“Okay. It doesn’t look good to argue with the thirty-year-old son. There is bad news for you.”
“Please don’t tell me; it’s my favorite cousin.”
“I wish I could say that. He had also heard about that girl and observed you taking a long vacation. If you don’t return on your birthday, then the next day, he might show up in the pack with his chosen mate. Because an alpha needs his Luna beside by his side to rule the pack.”
“Whatever he would do, Dad. He wouldn’t be getting pack or CEO position for sure.”

Disconnecting the call, Artemis rubbed his head. He had confidently said that his cousin would neither get pack nor company, but he couldn’t underestimate him. The pack members already knew that by choosing Artemis, there wouldn’t be any future for the pack because there wouldn’t be any chance of any heir from Artemis. Santino may be a good businessman, but he possessed all the qualities of good Alpha.
GOOD: At least in front of the pack members.
‘Even if we will introduce Sarah as our mate, pack members wouldn’t accept her because she is a witch.’ Bolt said, on which Artemis rubbed his neck in tension.
‘For now, can we just skip this topic?’
‘Yes, for now! But you have to talk about it with Sarah and convince her to let us mark her.’ Bolt suggested.
‘Do you think she will…’
‘I know, it is like flash marriage in terms of humans, but it is normal in werewolves, right?’
‘Yeah, right.’

“So, a werewolf is your mate?” Colton, Caroline’s brother, asked who nodded her head on video call. “I can’t believe you took an exit from one relationship and entered into another one,” he added in a disappointing tone.
“By the way, why did you tell last time that Mark was my mistake?” Caroline asked to know whether her brother knew the truth about Mark.
“Because I looked into your eyes and didn’t find you happy with him. You were just pretending to be happy.” Colton said, shrugging his shoulder as if it wasn’t a big deal to answer that question. “It is all written in the eyes and expression, Sarah.”
“Oh, okay!” Caroline nodded her head, unable to understand his logic completely. “And what do you see in my eyes now?” She asked, bringing her eyes close to the camera.
“Give me all the detail of that werewolf that you have. I need to check his background.”
“Okay, okay.” Caroline nodded her head again.
“And no matter what happens, Sarah, don’t let him mark you until I give a green signal. Because when I will kill him, then you will also suffer.” Caroline’s heart sank hearing this.
“Colton…”
“Relax, Sarah!! You know that I don’t kill an innocent creature. At least, not now. I know everyone in the family has said that after a certain time, I might lose control over my mind and my thrust, but I’m all good now.” Colton assured her. “By the way, why do you look in pain at the thought of me hurting him?”
“I…I…”
“Email me all the details of your mate.”
“Okay. And… how much time will you take to find out everything?” Caroline asked in a low tone.
“Two to three days if the information shared by him will be correct,” Colton replied. “Take care of yourself and don’t do any stupidity, okay?”
“Hmm”
After Colton disconnected the call, Caroline sighed, thinking about her brother, who was younger than her but always acted like a big brother. Once her call ended, she flew back to her room and found Artemis looking for something in the whole suite.
