My Mate Is The Best
chapter 17's

I'm currently in the car with Cander beside me, Lathan and Harry are in the front. I looked at Lathan who looked like he had a lot of problems, Cander was cool leaning on my shoulder. He also linked his hand in mine, I wonder what happened between my aunt and Lathan.

I became suspicious if my aunt actually knew that Lathan and his friends were Werewolves but why does my aunt seem to really dislike that handsome-looking man. However, if my aunt hates Werewolves, there's no way she'd let me date Cander or be close to her friends.

"Honey, what's wrong?"Cander asked, kissing my right cheek.

"I... I'm curious!"I answered in a whisper, even though no matter how small my voice they would all know. As they are Werewolves, of course their sense of hearing is very sharp.

"Curious about what?"Cander whispered too.

"About Lathan and my aunt"i called out.

"Just ask Lathan yourself, honey. The person is right in front of you,"answered Cander in a voice that was quite big.

I quickly covered the mouth of the man beside me,"Don't make it loud, Lathan will hear, what if he gets angry because we are taking care of his personal life,"I shouted trying to warn him.

"No one dares to scold their Luna, especially next to their Alpha,"Cander's loud voice succeeded in making Harry smile.

"Luna, I will never scold or do anything that could harm or third Luna's safety, I am even willing to die to protect you!"said Lathan while smiling fitfully in the car's rear view mirror.

"Hahaha.you don't need to be like that. Hmm. you heard, I'm sorry Cander really likes that. If you have a mouth, don't think about it first, we didn't mean to offend you!"I quickly said that I was afraid Lathan would be offended.

"Hurry Cander, apologize!"I said to Cander and I saw that the man had an innocent face.

"I wasn't wrong at all,"Cander exclaimed.

"But since you offended Lathan, quickly apologize!"I'm back to rule it.

"Allright darling,"i saw Cander start to reach out his right hand and Lathan responded awkwardly.

"I'm sorry. Lathan, we won't be talking about you anymore,"ishouted and Cander hugged me immediately.

"Ca.cander, don't hug me!"I tried to escape from his hug.

"Why?"asked Cander disapprovingly when I protested.

"Someone's watching,"i answered shyly.

"It's fine, they won't dare mock us,"cried Cander who tightened his hug even more.

And finally, while we like it or not, the man named Cander hugged me and I was so comfortable in his arms, he said, my eyes started to get heavy and I fell sleep in his arms.

Lena VOP.

The next day.....

There's nothing that I can do in the office, all the work that I do is completely impossible to do properly and precisely. Lack of sleep is also a major factor causing me not to focus on doing my job.

My mind always drifts toward Lathan, the man I've been waiting for so long is now back again. There is a fear inside of me that I still can't express in words, call me old-fashioned but I'm scared if I fall in love with the same man again.

I sniffed again committed when I saw a pile of documents on my desk, normally at no like this all the documents must have been completed. I closed my eyes and looked a deep breath then threw it away, I heard a knock on my door.

Geck. Geck.

A tall, blonde-haired man plus a pair of beautiful blue eyes, smiled at me and the man's forehead casually entered my room. He especially sat beside me, leaning his head on the table, I ignored the man beside me.

"What's with the paperwork today? Usedly they're always going somewhere,"he exclaimed while looking at me.

"I can't focus at all"i replied angry.

"What's wrong with you? It's like you're not the only one,"asked the man named Kevin.

"I don't know, I don't know either,"i answered slowly while propping my chin with my hands.

"You want to go out with me?"invite one of my coworkers, who I think he is a good guy. But, unfortunately he is not a normal man in general Kevin is a same-*** guy and he is not shy to submit it, Kevin is a same-, sometimes he often confides in me when he broke up with one of his girlfriends. Of course, as a friend, I always listen to his stories. Kevin wasn't that kind of guy. But there was one incident where a woman always hurt him.

"No... I'll just stay!"I exclaimed in a lazy tone.

"Oh come on. You own me that time, so you have to accomplish me to eat!"Kevin ordered while making a begging face.

"You blackmailer, all right. Let's go"i said and Kevin looked so happy that he even walked first.

We walk to one of the cafes near the company, the cold air this month is not too cold but still snow appears. And like it or not I always take my warm coat with me, as usual Kevin holds one of my hands. I don't think that at all, Kevin likes to make some jokes sometimes to make me laugh.

I saw that the street lights were weren't on yet, the snow on the street was also getting thinner. I'm happy because it makes it easy to walk, I see that there are several traders selling various types of goods. I looked at one of the shops that sell accessories, suddenly I remembered the first thing that was given by Lathan.

"You want to go there?"I asked him.

"No, next time. I want to drink coffee now!" he replied with a warm smile.

"Okay, let's go"i answered brief and started walking again.

Haven't reached the place where Kevin normally drinks coffee, suddenly the man beside me stopped and I automatically stopped too. I looked at him and he was also looking at me.

"What is it?"I asked curiously.

"Do you know the man on the other side," Kevin exclaimed, looking toward the front.

I looked ahead and my eyes widened when the man Kevin meant was Lathan, the man who always hurt me was now in front of me and he starred at Kevin with distaste.

"No I don't know him!"I answered, turning my face trying to find another object.

"But.but it looks like he's walking towards us,"I immediately looked in front of him and sure enough, I, Lathan was walking towards us and he was wearing the same jacket when we first met.

"Hi!"who was when he arrived at front of us.

"Oh, hello,"replied Kevin with a smile.

"Can I speak to him?"asked Lathan and I could see he was looking at me.

"Are you his friend?"Kevin opened his voice, I glanced at Kevin and then at the man who wanted to answer.

"Ah. yes I forget, he's my old friend. Kevin,"I answered first before Lathan could answer.

"Ah. so that's it. Yes, that's it then. I guess I'll be drinking coffee alone, so have fun!"Kevin took his hand off me and he started to walk away, only me and that man left.

"Hi!"who is small talk.

"Yes"i repeated curtly and still did not want to look at his face.

"I have something to tell you!"he exclusived's.

"I don't want to hear it,"i answered in a low, almost whisper sounding voice.

"You said we were old friends, right?"the Cried Lathan with a smile.

"T.that,"i didn't know what else to say, because to be honest, I actually didn't know what to do.

"You said we are old friends, so you don't mind taking my invitation to achieve me somewhere!"take Lathan's.

"Fine, but there's no such thing as holding hands. I beg that we should keep our distance, I want to look normal,"i replied with a clumsy smile.

"Okay, that's not a problem. Fine, whatever you want,"i just smiled and we started walking.

"What are you doing right now?"he asked casually as he walked beside me at a distance.

"I have a job, enough money and a house," replied, pretending to be happy.

"What are you doing now?"asked.

"Work, nothing else!"he replied with a smile.

"So, where are you going?"I asked, glancing at him occasationally.

"Drink Coffe or something warm,"

he replied thoughtfully.

"Okay, you know the purpose?"I asked again.

"I don't know, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake again." my heart felt pain again, I stopped and Lathan looked at me with his sad face.

"Can we look normal... I really don't want to talk about that,"i repeated and walked right past him.

We arrived at a cafe that wasn't too crowded or quiet, maybe because it was lunch time that was over or the visitors were lazy to visit. Lathan opened the door for me, I entered first and was followed behind by him. He sat down in one of the brightly lit areas, I just followed him.

I really like the atmosphere in this place, the smell of cake and coffee is very dominant. However, I still wasn't comfortable in front of a man who was blatantly staring at me. I tried so hard to look away, but our eyes met by accident.

A pair of reddish-brown eyes that I really miss look at me with various feelings, for some reason every time I look into those eyes. I'm lost in it, I really know this is not good. But sadly I could't prevent myself from turning my head away from the man in front of me.
