THE WIND WINDERS PACK
PART 19'S
"Reina's.. Are you in love?" Penny's spontaneous questioning left Reina stunned. The girl's eyes were slowly shaking
"Why did Mom say that?"
Penny again combed Reina's hair with her fingers. Some strands are deliberately rotated using Penny's index finger, then released. The hair was easily removed. Penny squinted one eye
"Who are you in love with?" Penny asked again without answering Reina's question
Reina's forehead flinched. The girl fixed her sitting position facing Penny
"You haven't answered me, mom. Why did you conclude that I was in love?" Reina asked as she removed Penny's fingers on her hair
Penny looked at the old Reina "Your beauty is open. Your strength is growing. 'The fence' is gone.."
"Huh?"
It seemed like Penny was a bit of a whore as Reina did not understand what Penny was saying. Penny sighed softly then got up to her feet leaving Reina who looked confused. Before taking a step, Penny turned back to look at Reina
"Whoever he is, you immediately get rid of that feeling because you must not be carelessly in love, Reina. You're 'his'.."
"His? Who's mom's?"
Penny ignored Reina and went straight into her room, leaving Reina confused
FLASHBACK END
"It's daydream again." Anggi's voice broke Reina's daydream. Reina just smiled slightly towards Anggi
"I'm going to the barn now, ma'am." Pamit Reina's.
Rushing the girl left her cubicle and headed for the elevator. The warehouse section is in the building next door which also belongs to Wind-Corp. During the journey, Reina kept ringing with Penny's words
"Your beauty is open. Your strength is growing. 'The fence' is gone.."
Reina admits that since her meeting with Alex, she's been a little weird. Reina is not a girl who quickly gets along with the opposite sex, but when with Alex, Reina feels comfortable and calm even though the first time her fear is more domineering because of dealing with a Werewolf
"Am I in love with her..?" whispered Reina
Immediately Reina shook her head while showering "Don't expect much! He needs you to fix his weakness."
"Whoever he is, you immediately get rid of that feeling because you must not be carelessly in love, Reina. You're 'his'.."
Penny's other words came along. Reina squinted her eyes trying to figure out what Penny meant.
The girl sighed because she could not find the answer. Reina paused for a moment to check her phone. A few incoming messages, mostly from his division group, none from Alex. Reina was a little disappointed while putting her phone into her blazer pocket
A while later, Reina realized that some people who passed her looked down respectfully, some were blatantly looking at her. Reina checked her appearance. There's nothing wrong. Why are those people looking at him?

Nicholas smiled broadly at Alex in his office "You didn't tell me it was coming, Alpha."
Alex also smiled as he shook hands and hugged Nick at a glance
"Don't be too formal, Uncle Nick." Alex said as he sat on Nick's soft sofa.
An OB came to bring Alex drinks and snacks. Nick and Alex wait until the OB is gone
"I brought news of Joey and his nephew." Nick opened the conversation
"What news is that?"
"Joey was spotted in the suburb of Kingston. Looks like Joey has a garden guarded by a woman." Said Nick
Alex's forehead twitching "Woman? Uncle Joey close to a woman?"
"What is their relationship. Clearly, some of Joey's concocted medicinal ingredients seemed to have been taken from the garden as well." Nick said while showing a photo taken from a distance
The photo was not very clear, only showing the silhouette of two people in front of a garden. Alex can't guess where it is
"So far it's safe."
Alex nodded as he looked back at the photo Nick had given him. Alex tries to find something suspicious in the photo, but Alex does not find it. Haven't..
"You came to pick up your wife?" nick asked, breaking the silence
Alex shook his head "I just stopped by for a moment to see him, uncle."
Nick smiled as he patted Alex's shoulder gently "You have to be patient with him. Besides, it looks like you're also insensitive, Alpha."
Alex's forehead wrinkled up looking at Nick "I mean?"
"Alicia told me why Reina left the house. Not only miss his house, but also get mad at you for Trixie, right?"
Alex sighed harshly "Gossip spreads very quickly."
Until now, Alex did not understand why Reina was so angry when she first helped Trixie.
"First lesson, you should always put your wife first compared to your other girlfriends." Nick said as he poured Alex some tea
"Tea? There's no Trivium?" ask Alex
"It's still too early to get drunk, Alpha" Nick said as he offered Alex a cup of tea
Alex receives a drink from Nick. Suddenly Alex remembered, it had been three days that he did not feel the coffee made by Reina. Alex feels homesick, without realizing Alex is daydreaming
"What's the Alpha? You don't like the tea?" Nick asked as he saw Alex stopping the teacup right in front of his lips. Nick's question breaks Alex's daydream
"It's not so, uncle." Alex quickly sipped his tea
"What I don't understand, Reina was so angry when I helped Trixie. Reina also said that Trixie beat him up, but I don't believe it."
Nick shook his head
"That's lesson two, Alpha. Trust your wife. Couples who have been betrothed by the Moon Goddess will not lie to each other and betray each other."
"He's not from our nation, does that rule still apply?" ask Alex
"Reina is not of our nation, but she is your mate. Have you found out the truth?" Nick asked back
Alex shakes. After his quarrel with Reina and drive Reina home, Alex prefers to spend his time at the office. This is done so that Alex does not continue to remember with Reina
"That's wrong, Alpha. Don't let the problem drag on. You are the one who is the most deft in solving clan problems. You should have solved your problems with Luna sooner, too." Advice from Nick
Alex was silent as if he was digesting all of Nick's words
"What's the third lesson?"
"Third, you must respect your wife's wishes."
"I always respected him." Cut Alex fast
"No, you're an Alpha. You often force your will." Said Nick while chuckling amusedly
Alex sneered "If I don't respect him, I won't let him get out of the house."
"Oh yeah, that's a good move." Nick said he gave up. Better to give in than make Alex's mood worse
"I'll see Reina first" Alex said as he stood up
"You know where he is?" ask Nick
"I can find Reina from her scented body, uncle. He's my mate, remember?" Alex smiled as he turned around Nick's words
Nick chuckles at seeing Alex disappear behind the door
"May your troubles be resolved soon, Alpha."
