Chapter 111
Magnus walked purposefully into Eda’s office and closed the door behind him, his heart pounding as hard as he loved his mate. He watched as Eda sat in the chair, her expression reflecting a mixture of uncertainty and resentment, as he took a seat across from her.
“My son, how are you?” I’ve missed them. “It hasn’t been a day since I’ve left, that I haven’t stopped thinking about you,” Magnus whispered, trying to break the ice with a dose of nostalgia.
“Mateo is fine, but he misses his father,” Eda, with an icy look, replied without hesitation.
Magnus felt the need to unravel the tangle of emotions that surrounded them, but he searched his mind for the right words that refused to come out. He took a deep breath and expressed.
“Eda, I’m here because I love you. I haven’t abandoned them as you think. I also had my own battles in the company. I understand that there was a struggle here, but there was also a struggle in my world. I think you’re being unfair by shutting yourself off from talking to me.
“Unfair, Magnus. You know the sacrifice I made to adapt to a possessive man. I used to live in freedom, go out to parties, share with friends. But you came, and I fell in love, though now I see that I confused things. I thought falling in love meant submitting to a man, but I was wrong. You’ve shown that your company is more important than the blood of wolves running through our veins. I’m resentful of you because the one who was in danger wasn’t just Eos, but my family and our race, Magnus. His voice rang out with a tone of bitterness and disenchantment. She wasn’t willing to give in easily.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“My love, please understand me. The company is not just a material thing for me, as you have always said. It’s the family estate I inherited from my father, the only thing I have from him. If it didn’t return, shareholders would have declared it bankrupt, and many employees would have lost their jobs. They depend on that company to survive and their years of jobs would be lost in a matter of seconds. I understand your anger, but if I stayed here one more day, Grupo Fazte would have taken the company out of my hands. Eda, you’re smart. I didn’t force you to come back to me because I know your family needed you. I’ve given you the freedom to make your own decisions. It’s not my fault that you wanted to mold yourself to my lifestyle.” Magnus looked at Eda pleadingly, trying to convey the sincerity of his words.
“Then I’m to blame for giving up everything for you.” Well, Magnus, I’m telling you right now: if you expect him to return to the humans, that’s not going to happen. Today I will be the alpha of this pack. I’m not going to take away your right as a parent. As many times as you want to visit your child, the doors of these lands will be open to you.
Magnus could feel his annoyance permeated in his words. He got up from his chair and walked over to her. He circled the desk and took Eda’s hand gently, urging her to get up.
“Magnus, what are you doing?” Eda exclaimed, feeling the discomfort of his closeness.
Magnus, facing her, put his hands around her waist and pressed his forehead to hers in a gesture of despair.
“Eda, I love you, but you need to understand that if I stayed, everything my father fought for years would have been destroyed by the competition in a matter of days. He whispered, desperately searching for a connection that transcended words.
Eda shuddered as she felt Magnus’s warm breath brush against her face. In that instant, she realized how much she missed him and how much she still loved him. However, his mind resisted the idea of returning to the city.
“Magnus, I don’t go back with you to the life I had before, I don’t want our son’s fate to be an enslaved enterprise, without having an existence of his own and free. Eda declared, refusing to give in to the attraction she still felt for him.
Magnus couldn’t resist her closeness, he kissed her intensely, devouring her mouth passionately, he separated himself from her for lack of air, with an agitated voice he expressed to her.
“Eda, don’t take me away from you and our son. Give me a few months to leave the company on good terms and in good hands.
“I haven’t fully forgiven you yet, Magnus. The doors of this herd will be open to you if you decide to stand by us. I’m going to need an alpha leader that’s in this pack to help me manage this region.
Magnus smiled at her and kissed her again, lifting her in his arms and seating her down at the desk. He placed himself between her legs, brushing his fingers down her back in a gesture full of desire and complicity. The connection between them was still alive.
Meanwhile, in the room, Sabrina kept the women entertained by sharing details about her work.
“I’m glad you’re a young girl who cares and saves the lives of animals. Thank you for being a friend and being supportive of Eda in the city,” Danna said fondly.
“Eda is like a sister to me. “Well, now it’s going to be Alpha Eda,” he shouted, his voice full of emotion.
“When are you coming back to town?” Gina interjected.
“I’ll only be with my friend for two days. I came to say goodbye to her. I have a trip scheduled for Chicago, and depending on how I go there, I might establish my life there,” Sabrina replied enthusiastically.
Heracles struggled to control Donis, who, upon learning that his mate was planning to go abroad, emerged without warning, fixing his eyes on her, and advancing in her direction.
Astonishment gripped the audience as they witnessed Donis’ unexpected transformation, not understanding why he had taken control in such a way.
Sabrina, in front of the majestic wolf, commented with a smile as her eyelashes fluttered in admiration.
“Waw, what a beautiful animal. So, you’re a human’s wolf.
“Donis, what do you intend to do?” She’s a friend of your cousin. We don’t understand your presence here. Because my son gave you control. Gina, worried, addressed her words to Donis.
The tension in the room was rising, as everyone tried to understand the situation and the reason behind the sudden change in Donis’ behavior. The animal, without warning, lunged at Sabrina and sank its fangs into her neck. The girl felt the fangs pierce her skin; The pain was so intense that he uttered a choked shriek before fainting. Meanwhile, the animal howled, licking the wound it had caused.
When Eda heard the scream, she came running followed by Magnus, she looked at the couch surprised to see her friend underneath Donis, who was frantically licking the wound she had made.
“It can’t be. You bookmarked it! Is Sabrina your mate? Eda exclaimed, marveling at the scene.
“Donis, what have you done?” Why did you do it, stupid Heracles, explain this to me? Ares complained, furious that things had gotten out of control.
Heracles emerged and sat down on the same couch as his mate, putting his hand to his head, visibly frightened. He never imagined that his mate was a human, much less that his wolf would emerge behaving in such a way.
Danna, Eda, Eos, and Maya approached Sabrina urging her to wake up. Confusion and chaos reigned in the room as they tried to make sense of what had happened.
“Dad, Donis didn’t obey me. I can only hear him say, “It’s mine, mine alone, and it won’t leave these lands.” This is my fault for not knowing how to handle it.
“Son,” Gina knelt in front of him, tenderly continued, “your wolf didn’t like her saying she was leaving. Plus, it’s your mate. I know they didn’t act properly, but your animal side claimed their destined partner.
Amid the confusion, Donis was visibly distressed by the situation. Meanwhile, Eda approached Sabrina,
“Sabrina, wake up!” Sabrina, open your eyes! “Friend, don’t scare me,” Eda said, anxious to know what the effects will be on a human being bitten by a werewolf.
