Tristan just woke up after Ananas gave him sleeping pills last night. If it wasn't for Ananas, maybe even now Tristan wouldn't have been able to sleep because his heart is a bit longer than he expected.
After the incident with Adelia Dauntless, Tristan's heat got worse, making him even more unable to control himself. He almost injured the maids at his house several times because of it. Even since that day, Tristan hadn't eaten anything at all, he was accidentally locked up by Ananas when he was caught nearly killing a servant delivering food for him.
If you count it, maybe it's been fourteen days since he was locked in the room by Ananas without food and drink. Only injections and special drugs called suppressants were given to him to calm himself from the heat.
Tristan tried to get up because he had successfully spent fourteen days and even lived without a partner. He walked towards the window and opened it. Down there, he saw some gardeners cleaning the yard and tidying up the trees so the leaves and branches would grow smoothly.
Seeing the gardeners, Tristan immediately waved, hoping that one of them would see him standing on the balcony and then come up to him in the room.
After waving and calling several times, finally, a gardener ran in as if he knew what Tristan wanted, and shortly after, someone unlocked the door. From outside, then came inside; it was Delaltrik Zeyek.
Delaltrik Zeyek was the butler of this house and the one responsible for Tristan during Ananas' was not there. However, when he entered the room, Delaltrik didn't say anything at all, he just stared at Tristan without speaking or asking how the young man was. And Delaltrik's reason was that he was afraid that if Tristan couldn't control himself, he might still be in a heat cycle.
Tristan realized Delaltrik's fright, so he just snorted while scratching the back of his head. "My heat cycle is complete. I'm not going to kill anyone now." Tristan said.
Hearing Tristan's answer, Delaltrik could breathe a sigh of relief because, even though they were both wolves, the difference between him being a Gamma. Of Tristan, who is a pure-blood Alpha. Of course, Delaltrik won't be able to face Tristan.
"Do you need anything? Maybe I can bring some, like some food?" Delaltrik offered. Because even though it's in heat, a person, of course, needs food. But in Tristan's case, they didn't allow anyone to bring food to Tristan, and it was all on orders from Ananas.
"I want a glass of water."
"You broke the teapot yesterday."
"Come on, you think I'm going to break that thing again?"
"If you're sane, maybe I am not," Delaltrik said, mocking Tristan a little, and it annoyed Alpha.
"Then don't make me angry, bring me a glass of water, and where is Ananas?"
"Mrs. Ananas is going to the hospital. She said if she has to take care of something, she has an important meeting next week, so Mrs. Ananas will be much busier than usual," Delaltrik explains.
"Should I go there?"
"Mrs. Ananas didn't order anything, she just asked me to lock you in your room and not let anyone in." Delaltrik quotes back the order Ananas gave him.
Delaltrik keeps an eye on Tristan. Even though he couldn't find any signs of heat in Tristan, he still didn't want his prediction to be wrong regarding Tristan, and instead, he was attacked by the young wolf.
"Then when is he coming back?" Tristan's question surprised Delaltrik a little.
"Is there anything you'd like to ask her?"
"How are things going with the Dauntless family?"
Delaltrik shook his head. "No progress whatsoever, Mrs. Ananas is still using your heat phase as an excuse, and it doesn't look like this will apply from today."
Tristan took a shirt from inside the wardrobe, threw his dirty clothes into the corner of the room, then put on a new one before he decided to sit on a chair that was in the corner of the room while keeping his eyes on Delaltrik, who was still standing not far from the door.
"I'm going to meet the Dauntless and explain everything."
"No, you didn't have to do that. If you do that, then Miss Ananas will fire me." Delaltrik said, sounding like a joke, but after that, he turned around to leave Tristan's room. "I'll bring some food, so please don't go anywhere before I return." Delaltrik said and left Tristan's room.
After being left by Delaltrik, Tristan saw the whole room, which was very chaotic. As Delaltrik had said, a glass teapot and several glasses shattered on the floor, and shards scattered about. Sheets that should cover the bed are now scattered on the floor and very wrinkled. Some stains need to find out who he doesn't remember. Even a table was split in half in the middle of the room.
Tristan has no idea how screwed he was during the heat phase without Mate. Supposedly, the heat cycle for a wolf without Mate will stop and only appear once they encounter Mate. Still, his body reacted unnaturally, and the heating phase that he had never experienced suddenly appeared and made him feel like a madman. Unfortunately, he didn't accept any omega to be his partner.
But how can Adelia Dauntless be in her room when she doesn't remember anything about him dating the daughter of Elrick Dauntless?
While thinking about all the possibilities that could have happened, suddenly his cell phone rang. Tristan, who didn't know where he had left his cell phone last time, had to rummage through it in his room and remove the pillows and mattress to see if it was under the bed.
Luckily, the call didn't stop and kept repeating until Tristan finally found his cell phone tucked under the nightstand, sandwiched between the wall.
Whether it was because it was pinched or hit, the cellphone screen was cracked in several places. Even though the casing of the cellphone was partially destroyed, Tristan was still lucky because the cellphone was still usable. And when he saw who was calling, it was his sister, Ananas.
[ "Why so long?" ] Ananas' voice squeaked in Tristan's ear.
"I don't know where I last put my phone," Tristan answered and then lay down on the bed, which was a mess after he rummaged through it.
[ "Oh, of course. You threw it when you kicked me and Gabriel out of your room." ] repeated Ananas and laughed because she knew that Tristan's cell phone might be broken now.
"stop it! Just tell me, when are you coming home? I want to go to the Dauntless home."
[ "What do you want? Get beaten up by Elrick Dauntless and then imprisoned by them, resulting in a war?" ]
"You think I'm that stupid to end up being held by them?!"
[ "How can I believe a man who destroyed an entire room, injured two maids, and tried to start a war with another Pack in just one night." ]
Tristan snorted. He knew that he had been acting erratically during the heat, but little did he know that he had also almost killed his maid. Tristan feels that the problem with the Dauntless family must be resolved right now, because if it takes longer, the Dauntless family will get even angry and even create a lousy narrative out there.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't change the fact that he had almost started a war between the two Packs.
"Then what should I do now?"
[ "You just have to stay in the room until I find a way to take you out in public to apologize to the Dauntless family later." ]
"Later?"
[ "Yeah, I still have a few things to clean up here, so you can relax and trash the room again if you want." ] Ananas laughed at the end of the sentence. However, Tristan was sure his sister's laughter was just an annoyance. [ "I have to go, Gabriel is waiting for me; if you have any questions, you can ask Delaltrik, I'll see you at two in the evening, bye." ]
Ananas turned off their calls, and not long after that, Delaltrik returned with several servants who brought food for him.
Like the maids, Delaltrik was also surprised because Tristan's room was getting increasingly chaotic, even though he had only been out for a few minutes until there was no place to put the food he had brought.
Delaltrik looked at the watch in his hand, calculating the time he had missed to bring the food. "Just eighteen minutes, and you'll have us working hard."
"Um, I'm sorry, I was looking for this thing...." Tristan showed Delaltrik his cracked cell phone everywhere.
Delaltrik didn't respond to anything, he just kept quiet and watched Tristan, then sighed very hard before finally asking the waiter to bring a table that was still intact in the warehouse to replace the table that had been split into two in the room.
After bringing Tristan some food and watching the servants clean up his ruined room, Tristan, who felt uncomfortable staying in the room being cleaned, chose to leave the room to calm his mind. He had been baffled for several days, locked in the room on the orders of Ananas, his sister."Where are you going?" asked Delaltrik to Tristan, who walked past him."To get some fresh air, I'm going to go crazy if I stay inside like this," Tristan replied as he continued to walk past Delaltrik.Being cooped up in a room with nothing to do with a very annoying heat cycle would make anyone feel very out of sorts, and getting some fresh air was all Tristan had to do to stay sane. Even though Ananas ordered him to keep a close eye on Tristan and not let him out of the room, taking a short walk to the backyard wouldn't bother anyone. After all, Tristan's heat phase was already over.It was just that although Delaltrik thought it was okay to let Tristan wander around, there was a feeling in his hear
"You what?" Tristan questioned his sister's wishes, which sounded very strange."I'm going to introduce you to a few omegas, and if you get imprinted with one of them, then it will be easy for us to introduce your Mate to the Dauntless family.""Are you out of your mind? I can't even smell the pheromones of any omega, and now you're even saying you want to set me up with some omega? It's the same as killing me!" Tristan protested Ananas' desire.Ananas, who had finished taking Tristan's blood sample, stared at the blood for a while. The pure blood of a young wolf, now their Alpha, looked shining. There was a glint of light that he had never seen from any blood of their race."You have to want to. Because if you refuse, I don't know how to help you get through the next heat phase.""Aren't there suppressants and inhibitors?"Ananas smiled and then put the blood sample into a cooler the nurse had also brought. "Inhibitors or Suppressants are no longer helpful for you. Your body has reje
Meanwhile, at the White & CO boutique, Samantha, who had just closed the last curtain of the shop, winced in pain when her wound started bleeding again. The store was tranquil, even Carol White was no longer there, and she was alone. When it opened the next day, she was asked to clean and mop the entire boutique so it was clean and tidy again.Samantha's palms felt numb as the pain intensified when she accidentally spilled glass cleaner on her hand. It hurts and feels like it's being cut, especially when the wound is exposed to water, so it makes Samantha want to let go of her hand so she would no longer feel the pain, but how could she possibly do that?After cleaning all the glass in the store, mopping the entire floor, and cleaning Carol's room, Samantha decided to head to the locker room. He tried to open the bandage Ananas Stein had put on him that afternoon. Still, she remembered that she didn't have a chance to apply to dress the wound. Because of that, Samantha discouraged he
"Sorry, what do you mean, sir?" Samantha asked, as if she couldn't understand what she had just heard. "Ananas wants you to give her the bag and explain all the functions and whatnot. I don't understand what she wants, but she asked me to take you to her and treat your wound. The blood keeps seeping out of it." Tristan pointed to Samantha's palm, which, without realizing the blood coming from the wound on her palm, was indeed bleeding, and the bandage he had changed earlier in the morning had turned red. "Um, sorry... I'll change the bandage, and please don't give our boutique a bad review, sir." Samantha tried to hide her hand from Tristan. But still, Samantha couldn't hide her bleeding wound. Seeing Samantha's frightened behaviour because of a wound, Tristan sighed deeply. Then he said, "It's better to answer now because I also still have a job, and I don't have time to wait longer here." Tristan said. Hearing that, Samantha, who was not told to go with Tristan to meet Ananas Ste
TabTristan had just lit a cigarette in the backyard of his big manor. His father left the mansion and now lives with several other wolves, including his uncle Douglas, who is mostly out taking care of their other businesses.Before becoming Alpha in the Pack, Tristan was the leader of a subsidiary of a company owned by his family in Haldabera City, a wine-producing city. After his father died and he became the Alpha in the Pack, Tristan was not asked by any teachers. Even now, his other uncle, Vaskal, manages the wine processing factory.Vaskal is his eldest uncle. In the mechanism of the succession to the throne, Vaskal had to be the most influential and most valued person and the most powerful wolf in the Pack. He could become the next leader after his father's death, but his father instead gave the throne to him. A throne that he doesn't even know how to use.And because of that decision, now their Pack is looked down upon by all the house wolves. Of course, it is very worrying, as
After chatting with Douglas, his assistant summoned his uncle to discuss tomorrow's client meeting. Tristan, who also saw Ananas and Gabriel had returned from the hospital, approached them, and was about to walk to their room at the end of the first-floor corridor."Hi, how was it this afternoon? Did you deliver Samantha safely to the boutique again?" asked Ananas, curious about what happened that afternoon after Samantha's business was finished at the hospital. Ananas was currently using the bag she was carrying."I delivered it, but who is that woman named Carol?""You mean Carol White? She's the owner of that boutique. What's wrong with Carol?" "No, I'm not. I just wanted to ask about Uncle Douglas. Did you guys tell him about me rejecting omega pheromones?" Tristan shifted his conversation to Ananas.For a few seconds, Ananas and Gabriel looked at each other even as they looked like they were both trying to find an answer to the question asked by Tristan."Have you talked?""Just
On her way back to her flat, Samantha sat on the bus looking at the rows of shops in the city. She didn't expect that she would not see Carol White all day and not talk to her or get any punishment from the woman because when she met Carol White that morning, Carol went straight to lunch with her friends and then became a courier for Ananas Stein and even after returning from Ananas Stein's hospital, Samantha still didn't see Carol, because another employee said that Carol went to the fabric supplier to choose a good fabric to make a dress according to Ananas Stein's order.Samantha was fortunate today. She never thought she would meet Ananas Stein, who treated her well. He talked to her in a low tone, treated the wound on her palm, and gave her prescription medicine until the injury healed. Ananas Stein also invited her to have lunch together earlier, honestly, a treatment Samantha had never received from anyone.Ever since she learned that her father owed Carol White so much, Samant
Due to Ananas' words about surrendering half the territory to avoid war with the Dauntless family, Tristan couldn't sleep. Even his eyes could not close even for a minute. Because of that, he chose to leave the room and took another walk around the magnificent Manor his father had left him.The Manor, built on fifteen square acres of land, stands firmly with twenty rooms, one main building for meetings and maintenance, and the Pack leader's room, which used to be his father's room. Now it is his room. Apart from that, there are also two other buildings right to the left and right of the main building.Vaskal Stein occupies the first building with his wife and children. Ananas and Gabriel occupy the other building. At the same time, Douglas Stein chooses not to live in the Manor and chooses to live outside the Manor in his own house.In the room right in front of the main entrance is a picture of the family, with the father, Dominic Stein, standing with his charismatic face.Dominic St
