Chapter 104
Koan sighed for the nth time, running his hand across his face in a tired stance just as he found a parking spot.
The silence in the car was awkward, especially since Nancy didn’t want to talk and he didn’t want to talk to her either.
She was still angry about the other night. Koan had taken to her to cloud-9, and just before she had touched heaven, had left her just like that to crash to the ground.
“Get this over with and be quick about it. I have a meeting to get to before noon.” He broke the silence, turning off the ignition.
“You seriously don’t plan on sitting here while I do all the work, do you?” Nancy finally said, getting out of the car.
“I didn’t break an entire skin care products set the other night. I don’t see why I should be part of the shopping p>
“You leave that car right now or I’m not moving as well. And we both know no one’s returning empty handed or your cousin will murder you p>
He glared at her and she smiled.
Location: Foxtune
Two women bearing dark gold eyes and dark auras emanating from their body, walked at the same daunting pace towards the throne room where the king sat, unmoving.
He has been like that for days now.
Once they arrived, they bowed at his feet, their hair, red and blue respectively in shimmering under the sunlight.
“It’s one day before her official arrival here. Do not fail me again p>
The two women rose.
“We won’t, your majesty.” They said in unison.
“Look p>
Koan turned to her with a scowl, his expression softening immediately when he saw her waving a kitten themed hair accessory in his face.
Somehow, after they finished shopping for Liliana, he ended up following Nancy around to buy what he’d call ’irrelevant nonsense p>
He pushed the cart around while she threw in whatever she fancied.
“Who’s paying for all these?” He complained with a stoic expression when she threw in a couple more things.
She turned to him while trying on the kitten hair band.
“You of course. You’re not Supreme Alpha for nothing p>
He snorted, refusing to say anything else, leaning over the cart to use his phone.
“I wish they had this in blue p>
He reluctantly glanced up again to see her in the kitten band. Thoughts of fluffy rabbits crossed his mind again, darkness enshrouded his mind thinking of how she had changed his thinking to such rubbish.
“Pink is fine. It suits your eyes. Can we go now?” He nonchalantly said, not knowing just how much his honest compliment affected her.
“N- Not yet.” She said with a stubborn pout and he sighed, knowing he couldn’t return without her because Lizzy would kill him.
“What else do you want to buy? Matching outfits for the both of us p>
“Oh my gosh! Yes p>
“You’re kidding p>
“We could just get matching T-shirts and baseball caps p>
“We? What do you mean we? I can’t be seen around with a stranger putting on matching clothes like a 7-year old p>
“It’s not childish. It’s actually a cute norm for couples p>
“Pass p>
“But… “
“No p>
“Alpha… Koan p>
They turn to see Mirabel standing a feet away, bearing numerous shopping bags in her hands.
“You’re not one to shop alone.” Koan casually greeted with a question. He knew of two Omegas who usually carried her shopping bags while she picked out whatever she wanted.
But she didn’t reply immediately because her gaze was focused on Nancy.
“I’m confused.” She started and Nancy rolled her eyes. “What’s she doing here… shopping with you p>
“It’s normal for couples to shop together.” Nancy calmly said, a smug smile rising on her face.
Mirabel’s brows furrowed.
“Couples p>
“Nancy.” Koan began in a warning tone.
Just who was this girl? Mirabel thought.
Just the other night, she had been upstairs with the Alpha and the next minute, she was downstairs with her friend with no memory of what had happened after one word from that brat
This was no ordinary guest.
“I guess I’ll see you later.” She said, all her attention on Koan, ignoring Nancy who looked like she was going to devour her at any moment.
Koan just nodded, slightly tilting his jaw to her and with a small smile, she left, but not before exchanging glares with Nancy.
“Come on, I want to try something on p>
“Wait… hey!” Before he could even protest, she had dragged him away, leaving their cart behind.
This situation reminded him of years back when she had used this same force to pull him down and sit with her. How was she this strong and fragile all at once?
Soon, they found themselves at a dressing room after she had picked up something to wear.
Their hands were still entwined without them realizing, attracting the attention of the others who thought they were couples.
’Isn’t that Alpha Koan p>
’I’ve seen the Alpha with several women but I’ve never seen him get touchy with them in public more especially holding hands p>
’Who do you think she is. She is so lucky p>
The chatter turned louder so Nancy pulled Koan into an empty dressing room.
“Do you realize my reputation is at stake here p>
She turned to him with a small frown.
“A few people saw you entering a dressing room with a woman. So p>
“That woman happens to be an Alpha’s daughter. What do you think they’re going to conclude about us p>
“That we’re a couple p>
“That’s the complete opposite of what I want p>
“Think all you want, but you’re not leaving until you help me out here. I can’t put this on alone p>
He rubbed his nose before sighing.
“You could have just asked the working staffs p>
“Only my mate has the privilege of seeing me bare. I won’t feel comfortable around the others p>
“What are you? Crazy? Are you seriously going to take off your clothes right Infront of me so casually p>
“What’s wrong? Why are you acting like you haven’t seen my body.” Her gaze darkened and his lips fell in atonishment.
