Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

223 Lucien Hated To Be Followed Around

Both the Alpha and his mate had a bad habit. They liked to leave their phones unattended, leaving them at the most random places for dead.

Those who knew these two eventually understood that to reach either Ronan or Lucien, they needed to contact Jake or Milroy.

After serving as the Alpha’s and the Alpha’s mate’s phone operator for a few days, Jake had enough. The Beta ruthlessly decided to redirect all phone calls for his two superiors to Milroy.

The poor assistant thus had to single-handedly handle the new responsibility. He loudly complained to Quinn one day. The compassionate Gamma then took the initiative to hire an assistant for Lucien.

“I don’t need any,” Lucien said when Quinn lay before him a list of prospective assistants from the Infinite Eclipse Pack.

“Do you prefer someone from your birth pack? We can arrange for that,” Quinn offered.

“I don’t want anyone to follow me around.”

“I don’t think that’s an option, because the Alpha already arranged bodyguards to follow you around as soon as you step a foot out of the pack house.”

“...”

.....

Thirty minutes later, the Silverback Corporation Headquarters’ employees at the reception desk had to come face-to-face with a very unhappy Lucien, followed by two bodyguards who looked like they could snap Lucien like a twig effortlessly.

“I want to speak to your CEO,” Lucien said with a grim expression.

“Our CEO is not available at the moment,” so the receptionist replied with a practiced line. Because who in their sane mind demanded to see Ronan Silverback and also got to see him?

The receptionist almost rolled with her eyes. Although the man in front of her was delicately handsome, he was also a fool.

“Make him available,” Lucien shot the receptionist a glare.

“Sir, I already said that he’s not available. Will you please remove yourself from this building? Otherwise, I need to call security.”

The receptionist moved her hand to the phone on the desk. This small gesture worked most of the time. Unfortunately, this mad visitor was not easy to scare away.

Lucien sucked in a deep breath. He then huffed in anger but did not make any movement to leave at all.

“Sir, I have to insist that...”

The receptionist’s words were cut by the ringing of the phone next to her. She reached for the phone receiver and stared at Lucien. Unfortunately, her efforts to make him leave with mere eyes did not work. Shaking her head in disbelief, she chose to answer the phone first.

“You are speaking with the reception desk,” the receptionist smiled as she spoke into the receiver. “How can I help y... Huh???”

At the other end of the phone, Milroy’s panicked voice was heard.

“Let that man with red-blonde hair up, NOW!”

The receptionist was stunned.

She gaped at Lucien, the receiver still pressed against her ear.

Before she even grabbed the electronic card to swipe the elevator, the VIP elevator at the end of the corridor arrived with a ding sound.

The CEO of Silverback Corporation, Ronan Silverback himself, strolled out leisurely.

He went past the reception desk without granting the receptionist even one glance. His gentle gaze was reserved for his beautiful mate only.

The Alpha stretched out his arms and pulled Lucien into his arms before leaning closer for a kiss. Stunned by Ronan’s sudden appearance, Lucien did not even have a chance to dodge the kiss.

“Fancy seeing you here, my love,” Ronan said with a chuckle.

Ronan’s mischievous smile quickly sobered Lucien up. He promptly remembered the reason he was even there.

“Ronan Silverback, why are you sending men to tail me?” Lucien grabbed his mate’s collar and hissed at him. “I hate to be stalked. I thought you would know that already by now.”

Ronan gave his mate his most charming smile.

“Not for long.”

“Until when?” Lucien demanded.

“It ends now.”

“...”

Lucien blinked at Ronan in confusion.

“Come with me,” Ronan said with a mysterious wink.

He dragged Lucien with him back into the VIP elevator. Lucien turned his head around to see that the two bodyguards indeed did not follow him to the elevator. In exchange, a bunch of Ronan’s bodyguards did.

It was such a bad joke.

The VIP elevator was reserved for the Alpha’s and his entourage’s private use. Other than Ronan, only Jake was able to activate it. It was the only elevator that allowed access to Ronan’s office on the topmost floor.

The door opened once they reached the aforementioned floor. The first thing that caught Lucien’s attention was the huge Silverback family sigil on the shiny marble floor, followed by a young man who stood some distance away. Shaking like a leaf, Milroy was as pale as a three-day-old corpse.

“Ronan, what are you taking me here for?” Lucien furrowed his brows as they got closer and closer to Milroy. “I need to go back to the pack house. Quinn is waiting for me.”

Lucien had promised the Gamma to go back to discuss the assistant matter right after he got rid of the bodyguards.

Ronan shook his head gently.

“You can do that later. I want you to be here now.”

“What for?”

Milroy bowed deeply before Ronan and Lucien before he turned at the door handle.

“I believe this is a good time to introduce you to every single leader in my pack,” Ronan said.

The door opened and revealed a huge, lavish meeting room. Inside, around thirty men and women in suits sat around a huge rosewood meeting table.

They all looked up at the same time when the door opened.

Of the many werewolves inside the room, Lucien had only met Jake and Mara. Both of them gave Lucien encouraging smiles when their eyes met with Lucien’s.

Ronan pressed a kiss against the side of Lucien’s head while the latter was still intimately pressed against his side.

“I introduce to you all, my mate and the future Luna of our Infinite Eclipse Pack, Lucien Clearwater.”
