Chapter 4 4

"D*mn it! Is Asher there again, Luke?! How dare he is in my pack now! How did he get into the pack so easily? Luke, say something! What's going on in there right now? Eleanor! Where's Eleanor?! Is Eleanor there, Luke?! Prevent Eleanor from leaving the pack. I'll be right there! Luke! Say something!" Reese's voice from Luke's cell phone call sounded even angrier now. I could even feel the anger that Reese was feeling just by hearing the tone of his voice there.

"I shouldn't have called Alpha Reese, and believed everything you said to me earlier, Eleanor. If only I could have realized that I myself had fallen into this new trap of yours so easily, Eleanor. You with all your wiles can always try to play a new trick with your lover. You dare to try to trick me and deceive Alpha Reese once again now. D*mn it!"

Luke immediately rebuked me with his harsh words right there. Luke was even standing right next to me while looking right at me with his eyes that looked very angry and distrustful of me. But I'm trying to stay calm now. I can't look panicked at all, seeing Asher's sudden arrival in the pack right now.

"Why should I go with you, Asher? I would never go anywhere with you."

I asked Asher calmly, and I could immediately see the shock on Asher's face now. I myself could also feel how surprised Luke and Reese who were still connected to the phone call were there. I had to stay calm to be able to face Asher now.

"I'm fine inside The Eclipse Thunder Pack. And I'm starting to feel very happy and comfortable with living in this pack now. Being with Reese Carson, has made me start to learn to feel happy, and also comfortable with her"

"Eleanor, what do you mean, what are you saying right now?"

Asher looked at me with a very deep frown on his forehead now. Asher looked completely incredulous at what I had just said.

"Eleanor, did you not know that Reese Carson is the most stubborn and paranoid Alpha? Do you not even realize that at all? Choosing to live with Reese Carson would also lower your dignity and honor as the daughter of the Alpha of the Blood Rose Pack, Eleanor! What is going through your mind right now?"

"I feel very happy living here together with Reese Carson, Asher."

I answered Asher's words calmly again. I just needed to answer his words with words that would make him feel less confident now.

"I'm happy to be spending time together with Reese. He always cares about me. Reese also always tries to understand everything I feel, I think, and I do as well. Reese always tries to give the best for me. I know that Reese is a little stubborn and paranoid, but that's all because he's always worried about me. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to me. And he wants me to always be under his watchful eye. And I have no problem with that at all. Everything Reese does is a sign that she really... really loves me. He really cares about me. And so, I'm very happy to be able to spend a lot of time with Reese Carson, Asher."

The long sentence I had just said to Asher was completely inversely proportional to the sentence I had said in my previous life. Back then, when I was still living in my previous life, Reese also listened to every word and conversation that Asher and I had over the phone. But back then, I was still so stupid and blinded by love, that I decided to leave Reese again, along with Asher. Then afterward, I was caught again by Reese, and locked up in this pack. But not for now. Not in this new life of mine now. I've learned a lot from all the mistakes I've made in my previous life. So I will not repeat the same mistakes now.

"I'm starting to like Reese now, Asher. I like him a lot. And I don't want to be separated from him anymore. Even just for a few seconds. I would never want to be separated from the person I like and care about, Reese."

"Eleanor..." I heard Reese muttering over the phone, and I could tell that the anger that Reese had felt earlier was slowly dissipating now.

I smiled a little at that. In the end, I knew a little bit about how to stop Reese's anger. I looked back at Asher who was still silent and very surprised there.

"It would be best if you left here immediately, Asher. And it's also better if we no longer have any relationship from now on. I don't want to have any relationship with you anymore. The relationship we once had, is over now. Don't you ever come and enter this pack carelessly. Because, I and also Reese do not like the arrival of strangers into this pack at all. So, it's good if you also know your limits in this pack, Asher."

Finally, I could really say that with a bold feeling to Asher. I didn't even feel the pain of this decision anymore. I mean I myself feel very relieved and at ease with the decision I've made now. And it seems like I should have made this decision a long time ago. So that I wouldn't have to die with great disappointment.

"Eleanor, you can't just do this to me! I even risked everything I have! I risked everything just for you. My safety and also the good name of my pack just for you! How could you say all those things so easily, after all the things we've both been through! How could you turn away so easily?! How could you betray me so badly like now, Eleanor?!"

Asher shouted very loudly. That instantly made me turn my head towards Luke who was still looking at me with that incredulous look right now. Luke looked like he was wondering and also confused as he looked at me. And I know how much of an effect the words I just said had on Reese. And I regret why I never realized all the things that have happened now, in my old life.

"Luke, order all the guards to get that man out of this pack now. No stranger should presume to enter Reese's pack, without his direct permission. If he doesn't want to get punished by Reese directly"

I said in a stern tone of voice to Luke now. As for Luke, he himself immediately realized himself there, and blinked his eyelids in a very fast movement. Before finally, Luke turned his gaze back, and looked right at Asher who was still silent right in front of the two of us, and still looked very surprised there.

"Guards, take Asher Jack out of this pack. He can no longer enter this pack carelessly. Make sure that he can never enter this pack, even with just one footstep. Do it quickly!"

So after that, the guards quickly moved to pull Asher's body and dragged him out of The Eclipse Thunder Pack. Asher continued to scream and rebel against the treatment he was getting right now. And I let out my breath slowly. I looked back at Luke who looked happy. Perhaps, he was also relieved and happy about the decision I had made.

"I'm glad that you didn't do something stupid like I thought before, Eleanor. I apologize for suspecting that you were again playing a trick to escape from this pack. And yes, you were even able to calm Alpha Reese down very easily. He even yelled at the top of his lungs on that phone call. He sounded really angry."

Luke whispered right to me. And he looked even calmer after all the tension that had happened in the pack earlier. I could understand that Luke could finally breathe a sigh of relief, because I was no longer the foolish Eleanor Jane blinded by false love that I had been.

"So, can I go and meet Reese now?" I asked Luke again with a small smile on my face.

"I'll ask Alpha Reese first then."

Luke immediately directed the cell phone in the palm of his right hand to get closer to his right ear there. Then started talking to Reese.

"Alpha Reese, do you give permission for Eleanor to see you now? There is something Eleanor needs to give you."

I looked at Luke with an anxious feeling. What if in the end, Reese still refused to see me? And all the anxiety I felt, instantly made my heartbeat feel even faster now. I could even feel the grip of my hands on the food box becoming tighter now. I began to look at Luke curiously for the answer that Reese would give there.

"Alright, Alpha Reese. I'll tell Eleanor."

After that, Luke turned off his cell phone, then put it back into his pants pocket, and looked at me now. A faint smile appeared on his face.

"I'll take you to see Alpha Reese. He has given permission for you to meet him now. Alpha Reese will be waiting for your arrival."

"Thank goodness then. I'm very happy to hear that."

I instantly felt very relieved after hearing the answer given by Reese now through Luke. Afterward, Luke escorted me to the location where Reese was now. Given that Reese was actually not only an Alpha of The Eclipse Thunder Pack, but Reese was also a rich and successful businessman. I never really knew what kind of businessman Reese was before. But I'll try to get to know him very well from now on.

"I'm going back to the pack. You can be here with Alpha Reese. I'm sure he'll take you home on his own later."

Luke told me when he and I were right in front of the door of a room with Reese Carson's name on the front of the door now. This is Reese's room. I turned my head and looked at Luke who was smiling as if encouraging me. I slowly nodded my head very stiffly. I tried to muster up the courage and started to open the door to the room now. When I walked into the room, I saw Reese who was standing right in front of his desk there, and was looking at me now.

"Um... sorry, I really didn't mean to disturb your working hours right now. It's just that, I really wanted to come here so that I could bring you some food. I cooked this meal myself this morning. So, I want you to try-"

Before I could finish speaking, Reese walked with his long and fast footsteps towards me now. Reese cupped my face with both of his large palms, and immediately kissed my lips passionately. I could barely even give a proper reaction now. I'm speechless because I feel so surprised by this kiss that Reese is giving me on the lips right now. A few seconds later, Reese broke our kiss, and looked at me with his eyes that looked very happy there.

"Regardless of the purpose of this sudden change in your attitude, I am very satisfied and happy with your decision, Eleanor. I am very happy that you no longer made the decision to leave me and my pack. I'm glad that you broke off your relationship with Asher Jack who will never even equal the high status you have. Asher is just a b*st*rd. And you are the daughter of an Alpha. I'm very satisfied, with all those words you said to Asher earlier."

Reese rubbed my face that was still in her palms with slow movements. That made me tighten my grip on the food box I was carrying. I looked right into Reese's sparkling eyes. How beautiful those eyes were when looking at me like now. And why did I never realize that?

"And you should never try to leave me again, Eleanor Jane."
