PRESENT

"Hey, Breda." Arabella stopped her when her eyes landed on her while she was walking towards the Wylder’s office. She quickly reached near her to tell her about the garden incident, so that Breda could get that chair fixed. After all, she was a beta female and held some power in the pack.
"You did what?"
"Ssshhh... don't shout or everyone will hear us," Arabella said, looking around, though not a lot of people were there but they were busy minding their own damn business until Breda exclaimed loudly. "Look, I’m sorry. I was not planning to destroy pack properties." She apologized.
"It just happened when I was super duper pissed, and the next thing I knew was that I ripped that heavy sitting chair from the ground and threw it like Thanos threw the Hulk as if he weighed nothing." She explained and got confused, wondering who the hell was now Thanos and the Hulk.
She just hoped that Breda wouldn’t end up asking who they were because she would have no answer to that question.
"It looks like you’re a Marvel fan."
"Marvel’s fan?" Arabella looked at her in confusion. She felt like she had heard this name before but couldn’t recall where.
"Actually.." Breda was going to explain to her in detail when she stopped before speaking, "Alpha Miller is waiting for you in the office." She said.
"Oh, shoot!! I totally forgot." Arabella muttered, rushing towards the office. Breda didn’t tell her that Wylder’s voice was full of worry, and he actually had asked Breda to check on Arabella. "Can you fill me in a little about this Marvel thing?"
"Nah. I will show you tomorrow because Marvel movies are feeling." Breda said.
"Sounds like a movie date to me."
"True."
"Wow! I can’t wait for tomorrow. Okay. See you later." Arabella ran from there. A big smile that appeared on her lips with the thought of a movie date with Breda disappeared soon because she got the feeling of deja vu again.
She had done this before. She had watched Marvel movies on her date, but with whom?
She was expecting to get a scolding from Wylder, but she didn’t. She didn’t miss noticing that he looked fresh now as if he had taken a shower instead of changing her clothes.
Guilty of throwing coffee at him?
Nah.
He behaved like a jerk.
Looking at the desk, she fumed in anger again, but she ignored it and focused on explaining the details of the people’s faces whom she had seen.
"Zahir, order a new desk for my office and replace it with this one," Wylder said, to which Zahir looked at him in surprise. Zahir was also present in the office, doing his paperwork.
Wylder didn’t miss how Arabella turned to look at him. She had masked her expression, but the way her heartbeat increased, he could tell that his decision indeed affected her mood.
She turned around and resumed giving Aiden the description.
‘What the hell was that?' Zahir asked through the mental link.
‘What? This desk is too old and belonged to the previous Alpha. So, I’m getting a new one.' Wylder responded, shrugging his shoulders.
‘I believe you if that is true.' Zahir didn’t argue with him, but it wasn’t that he was born yesterday. ‘I would have taken it to my house to use it, but Breda would have burned it down into ashes because it had the scent of another female.’
‘Really?’
