The Wolf Who Saved Me

The ringing of my phone awakened me. It’s just 09:00 AM, and Reule is already calling me. I ignored his call. But I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I sat and noticed I had four messages.

“Morning, habibi! Come down for breakfast.”

“Are you still sleeping, habibi?”

“Sleeping beauty, come down here! Nana Lolita, Adriana, and Landon will be joining us for breakfast.”

“Get your tiny ass in here!”

Reule’s last message was already screaming, but I don’t care. It’s the name Landon that caught my attention, Lila’s twin. I thought he would be arriving next week. He came back early.

I rushed to the toilet. I didn’t want to miss breakfast, not because I was afraid of Reule. But I am curious about Landon. I wanted to know how different is he from his twin.

When I arrived at the dining room, Reule was looking at me sharply. He was about to say something but Nana Lolita, Adriana, and a tall blonde guy like a handsome angel appeared.

“Good morning, senorita Wren! It’s good of you to join us for breakfast,” Nana Lolita said with a smile.

I smiled and said, “Good morning!”

“Oh, hello there! I don’t think we have met. My name is Landon,” Landon said with a gorgeous smile, and he gave his right hand.

“Hi! I am Wren. It’s nice to meet you,” I replied and shook his hands.

“The pleasure is all mine, my lady!” Landon replied and kissed my hand.

I was surprised by the gesture, and it made me blush.

“Come on, kids! Take a seat and let’s have breakfast,” Nana Lolita said.

I sat beside Adriana and across Landon. I glanced at Reule, who looked like he would soon explode with anger.

“Reule, I did not know that you have taken a new member,” Landon said while we started eating.

“Oh, I took pity of an orphan,” Reule replied.

For some reason, even if it’s true, I did not like how he said it.

“You are an orphan, my lady?”

“A–ah, yes,” I answered.

“I am so sorry to hear that, but you are welcome here in the Gray Pack. It’s nice to have a beautiful lady here.”

I don’t know, but Landon seemed gentle, kind, and his smile made me like everything about him. He is totally the opposite of Lila though they have some similar facial features. I feel like I am developing an attraction to him. He is still not my mate, but he has those well-defined abs and muscles; he is kind and good-looking, too. Who would not have a crush on him?

“She is off-limits, Landon,” Reule suddenly said with a serious tone.

Nana Lolita and Adriana were surprised but did not say anything.

“Oh.. she belongs to someone? Sorry, I did not know, and I was only complimenting her beauty.”

I was about to say I am still single, but Reule immediately said something that I felt would be rude to interrupt their conversation.

“How was Geneva, Landon?” Reule asked.

“We were able to open the new branch in Geneva successfully. In just three days, the hotel was in full occupancy,” Landon said happily.

“Good job! I thought that you would be coming home next week if in case there are still a lot of things to do there.”

“I thought the same. But since the occupancy and reviews of the hotel were great, I believed that the staff there would be able to manage without me.”

“Very good! I thought I would have to travel to Madrid myself. In three days, the branch there is scheduled to open.”

“Do you want me to take care of it?”

“I have not decided whether both of us will go or only you. I will let you know.”

“Sure!”

Listening to them talking about Reule’s business, it surprised me that Reule is into Hospitality Industry. His personality doesn’t suit to be working in such field. But maybe he is just the owner, but the ones managing the operations are people like Landon.

“For now, talk to your sister. She has had her tantrums once again,” Reule said.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Landon laughed. “What she do this time?”

“Her usual dance workout,” Adriana said.

“But in the middle of the night where some of the members are already asleep, especially the ones who have children,” Nana Lolita added.

“Tsk.. Tsk.. Lila, Lila, Lila. Don’t worry. I will talk to her. I am sure she is just jealous of beautiful Wren here. You know how Lila is so in love with Reule that she must have thought that since Wren is living here, she might be taking Reule away from her.”

“What if Wren is my mate? Then she doesn’t have a choice but to accept it. She must start looking for her mate rather than wasting her time with me,” Reule said coldly.

“I know that, Reule. I have told her about it several times, but you know how Lila is.”

“I kept wondering if you two are really twins. Maybe there was a mistake when your mother gave birth to you. You are too opposite with each other,” Nana Lolita said.

Landon only laughed. “Well, we are, but I know you liked me more than her, Nana Lolita,” Landon replied.

“Of course! You are my favorite of you two.”

After breakfast, Reule and Landon went to talk privately. It probably regards the business. Adriana and I sat in the living room while Nana Lolita said she would be in the kitchen. She wanted to bake some cakes for dessert after lunch.

“Landon is indeed opposite with Lila,” I said.

“I know, right! He used to be my crush because he was a gentleman and so handsome. But now that I found my mate, I now prefer my mate over him,” Adriana confessed.

I was going to tell her that Landon is my crush now, but something is holding me back for some reason.

“What about him? Did he find his mate?” I asked instead.

“I am not quite sure. But I heard that Landon is in love with someone from the Black Pack. He had not denied or confirmed it, though.”

I was sad, like a teenager knowing that their crush liked somebody else. But it is okay. I am not in love with him. I just admired him, which I have a feeling Reule would not like.
