Chapter 845: I think, i am falling in love
"What?" Hope rubbed her forehead grumpily, which was not really hurting. "I just wanted to help," she said.
Kace rubbed his forehead upon hearing Hope's reply. This girl was really clueless about what she was doing, wasn't she? "Did you forget that Sterling is a very jealous creature?"
In front of them, the lycan was now growling at Calleb menacingly, he lowered his body, ready to attack the poor Gamma, while Calleb was standing stunned silly as he didn't know what went wrong. He was just following Hope's order, All right!
"Stay here!" Kace said sternly to his little mate, who flashed himan innocent smile. "Hey, hey, calm down," Kace finally stepped in and put himself between Calleb and Sterling, and as for Sophia, she was still holding the bouquet of flowers and giggling merrily behind Sterling, seems like it was too amusing to see the terrified look on her daughter's mate, who was in trouble now. Like really really big trouble!
"How can I calm down?!" Sterling then pointed his finger at Calleb accusingly. "Don't you dare try and seduce my mate!"
"No, of course not!" Calleb raised both of his hands, as a surrender gesture. "That's not what I mean!" he waved his hands frantically and glanced at Hope, who gave him an apologetic smile. Ugh! This girl was not reliable!
However, not even a moment later, the most sweet and intoxicating scent hit Calleb's senses, making him forget about everything as he turned his head toward the source of this fragrance. He knew immediately that it belonged to his mate, as his beast yelped with excitement in his head, urging him to go near her.
If Calleb was in his beast form, his tail would be wagging happily when he strolled across the room to approach Rosie.
Unfortunately, everything didn't go as he wished, because before the Gamma could even take three full steps toward his mate, Sterling beat him to it and pushed Rosie behind his back.
"Dad…" Rossie was about to protest, but Sterling shook his head.
"You are too young to be with him now," he said and then he looked at Calleb. "Comeback ten years later and I will consider your relationship."
"What?!" Calleb felt like he was about to get a heart attack. "Why should I comeback ten years later!? I want my mate now!"
And there it was proved once again..…Calleb really couldn't choose his words wisely.
Kace could only facepalm himself, while Sophia laughed cheekily, when she heard that.
She knew Sterling very well and Rosie was the apple of his eye, having sons as their firstborns was a blessing, but watching them grew up and make a scene here and there was something else entirely and Rosie was always been a sweet girl to ease her father's tensed mind upon facing Ethan and Ian.
"No!" Sterling shouted at Calleb. He looked like an overgrown child, whose favorite thing was about to be snatched away by Calleb.
Rosie peeked her head from behind Sterling and looked at Calleb with curiosity brimming in her eyes and this only added to his urge to pinch those lovable cheeks.
Meanwhile, there was someone came rushing toward Kace, squealing in delight right at this moment.
"Kace! Hope!" Bree ran from behind Rosie and immediately stood in front of Kace, raising her arms to be carried.
"You are already big enough, you know," Kace grumbled, but he still bent down and picked the little girl up.
"What happened?" Bree asked Hope, her orbs dancing to and fro between a tensed pair of Calleb and Sterling.
Since Brianna picked her up and brought her to stay inside the castle during the dark rain on the other day, she had been staying with the Sterling family and played with Rosie, because the other people were too busy and the only daughter of Sterling needed a friend.
"Love problem," Sophia said while pinching Bree's cheeks and walked toward her mate. "Okay, enough all of you."
Sophia stood between the two men, who were trying to hurt each other by shooting daggers from their eyes, but she was a hundred percent sure, they wouldn't start the actual fight, since Sterling wouldn't hurt his daughter's mate, no matter how bad he treated Calleb and it same goes for the Gamma, who wouldn't even dare raise his voice against his mate's father. These two are akin to two stubborn kids!
"Let them talk for five minutes," Sophia said to Sterling. "They need to know each other."
"Why five minutes?!" both, Sterling and Calleb protested simultaneously, but each with a different intention.
"Wow, both of you get along pretty well for someone who wanted to claw each other faces," Sophia said teasingly.
"Two minutes," Sterling said and stepped away to reveal Rosie behind him, who looked nervous, but also curious when she got a better look of Calleb.
Meanwhile, the Gamma wanted to protest for the minimal amount of time that Sterling gave to him, but he was tongue tied when he saw his beautiful and adorable mate, standing before his eyes and stared at him innocently.
Calleb scratched his head and turned speechless, not only because he finally got a chance to talk to Rosie, but because Sterling and Sophia were looking at him intensely.
Ugh!
Can't they look somewhere else?! Calleb grumbled internally.
"I am Calleb, your mate," Calleb said and as soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself underneath the ground. Why did it sound so stupid and pathetic???
"I know," Rosie giggled, when she saw Calleb'sbeet red face and how awkward he was with her parents standing not too far from them.
"Oh, so you know, great!" Calleb really wanted to facepalm himself.
On the other hand, Kace and Bree laughed at him while Hope giggled lightheartedly.
"Okay, two minutes is up," Sterling said and pulled his daughter to him. "Next time boy, I will give you another two minutes."
And with that, two minutes just wasted like that.
However, his disappointment was relieved a little when Rosie waved her hand and smiled shyly at him. "See you later, Calleb," she said timidly.
And her voice melted the Gamma, as he watched with puppy eyes at Rosie who was being taken away by her parents and disappeared at the corner of the corridor.
Only then, Calleb turned around and looked at Kace, Hope and Bree with a silly grin. "I think I am falling in love."
