The Wolf Who Saved Me

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I was annoyed to find that it was Reule once again.

I thought of not answering, but I remembered his kind gesture last night.

I had not even said a word, and I immediately heard Reule yelling, “Can you get your ass down here and tell me what do you want to eat!”

“Don’t you know how to say hello and good morning?” I replied in a loud voice.

“It doesn’t work with you. Now, come down and tell me what you want?”

“Anything that Nana Lolita would cook.”

“She is not here. She went with Adriana to visit her mate.”

“Nana Lolita is not there? Then, who will cook?”

“I will if I don’t change my mind. Now, come down or starve!”

“O-kay.”

I rushed to the toilet, wondering if he knew how to cook something edible. Reule doesn’t strike me as someone who knows how to cook or do any household chores at all. After I brushed my teeth and washed my face, I heard my phone ringing once again.

“Can you wait!” I exclaimed while I was changing my clothes to something not daring.

The nightdress that I was wearing last night was a little transparent, and somehow it slightly exposed my breasts. I cannot go down wearing just that.

I ran downstairs as soon as I was finished and found Reule adding some spices to the meat.

“Good morning!” I said.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Oh, you know how to say good morning! Anyway, what do you want to eat?”

“Hmm.. what are you planning to do with that meat?”

“I’m planning to roast it in the oven. So, what do you want?”

“Do you even know how to cook?”

“What do you think I am doing? Do I look like I am playing?”

“Hmm.. I just did not expect that you know any household chores. I thought I needed to come down and cook.”

“Oh, don’t underestimate me, Habibi. You don’t know the things that I could do.”

“Well, I thought you are just one spoiled and rich Alpha of a pack, but I would agree. There are still a lot of things about you that I don’t know. This is one of those. So, what dish do you know how to cook?”

“Mostly, what Nana Lolita cooks. I learned from her.”

“Really? Then, I expect you to be good because Nana Lolita is an excellent cook.”

“You might be surprised by how good I am.”

“Let’s see later. I will try whatever you feel like cooking.”

Reule smiled, nodded, and said, “Help me cut the veggies for the salad, and I will take care of the rest.”

Thirty minutes later, Reule took out the roasted pork from the oven. It looked so delicious because the meat looked juicy, and the skin was crispy.

“Let’s eat!” Reule said with a smile.

I took a bite of the roasted pork, and it was so flavorful. I loved it. It feels like it was prepared by Nana Lolita as well.

“How was it?”

“I did not expect that you could cook better than I do. At first, I thought I would be eating something that is not edible.”

“I told you, you would be surprised!” Reule’s eyes lit up after saying that.

He is indeed a mystery. I thought I had figured him out, but it seemed I knew nothing about him all. We were silent but smiling at each other while we were enjoying our food. But all of a sudden, I could hear Lila’s voice.

“Alpha Reule! Alpha..”

Lila stopped when he saw us eating in the kitchen.

“Yes, Lila. Care for you to join us on our brunch?” Reule replied with a smile.

“Only the two of you? Why? Where is Nana Lolita and Adriana?”

“They went to visit the pack territory of Adriana’s mate.”

“I see. Who cooked then?”

“I did.”

“It wasn’t her who cooked? Alpha Reule, you served her? You have never done that. In fact, you hate serving people.” I

felt embarrassed hearing what she said. I did not mean for a pack leader to serve an outsider who shouldn’t even be here. I did not even ask for it.

“It’s not like that. I was hungry, and since Nana Lolita is not here, so I have to cook food myself.”

“Can’t she cook for you? What exactly does she do in this house or in this pack?”

I wanted to yell at her. I wanted to say I never asked to be in here. I even requested for Reule to surrender me back to my old pack.

“She did not know Nana wasn’t here, and I am so hungry. I can’t wait for her to wake up and cook.”

“What!? She woke up late and not helping here.”

“Stop, Lila! I am the one who has the right to tell her what she should and should not do. Now, instead of you complaining, why don’t you grab a plate and some utensils. Come eat with us.”

“Hmm.. Sure!”

Lila sat beside Reule and started eating. I took it as my queue to excuse myself and leave.

“I am full. Thanks for the food, Alpha Reule. I should leave you two so you could talk privately,” I said.

“Sit down! Eat properly!” Reule ordered. ”

I am really full. Thank you!”

“Alpha Reule, she said she is full. Let’s not force her to eat that much if she doesn’t want to. We can call her back to do the dishes,” Lila said and smirked at me, trying to intimidate me.

“I will be glad to do that. Just call me Alpha when you two are done,” I replied with a sarcastic smile.

“You only eat two spoons of your food, and you are saying you are full. Finished what is on your plate, and then you can go. Lila will be doing the dishes after, so you don’t have to worry about it,” Reule said.

Lila’s eyes grew bigger out of anger. She was about to protest, but Reule stopped her.

“I hate doing the dishes, and I am sure Lila would not mind. I will let you do something else.”

“But I could also do the dishes if you want. I don’t mind,” I replied.

“See, Alpha, she doesn’t mind. Tell her all that she has to do so we can go somewhere,” Lila said.

“I am busy. I can’t go with you. I have a few minutes to spare and talk to you so you can tell me what do you want,” Reule responded in a cold voice.

“Um.. guys! I am really full. Please call me later when you are done so I can do what I have to do,” I said.

Then, I stood, taking my plate and placing it at the sink. Reule was frowning, but it did not stop me. I left because I could no longer contain my anger towards Lila, and Reule was just making it worse.
