Knave of Heaven and Earth

Chapter Three: Sweet Moments

Miles away from Aitken's small town of Century Peak, there lies the city of Winsom. The city thrives as a third-rate with generous amount of buildings and commercial establishments, placed beautifully between the dense forest of Dean's Wood and the towering mountains of the Golden Crown Mountain Range. The ocean is not so far from the city, about thirty or so kilometers away. The place flourishes for its abundant sources. A perfect place for some supernaturals to dwell into.

Somewhere in the Dean's Wood, among the tall lush trees, a large mansion sits in a wide clearing. Small houses and facilities are placed evenly around it, like a small community, leaving a wide space of fresh grass affront the mansion just enough to host small events.

The mansion have three floors and a dungeon below. It's so large that it could shelter around two hundred of tenants and would still have enough space for large mobs of guests and visitors.

Among of it's many rooms, a man around the age of mid to late twenties is sitting on his comfortable swivel chair while looking through document placed on his cherry wood table. He has a tan mascular build, his shirt clings to his muscles as if it's a part of his skin. He has these light hazel orbs that seems to shine when hit by the sunlight, topped with short jet black hair. A hard look is plastered on his chiselled face but still looked handsome as hell. His demeanor screams dominance, power, charisma and so much sex appeal as if he came out of a porn magazine. Many woman wants this hunk of a man and many man wants to be this overly gifted guy.

The double door opens and revealed a hunk man almost the same as our man sitting. He also seemed to have the same age as the guy on chair.

His looks is no worse than the guy sitting. Forest green orbs that reflects the dense forest, auburn hair kept in short and tan masculine body that produces great sex appeal and strong charisma. This guy also screams strength and dominance, but we can see that that the guy sitting clearly won.

"Seriously, did your parents taught you how to fucking knock?", The Alpha said, exasperated and slightly annoyed. His Beta does this all the time.

He stopped his track as he reached the front of the table. "Alpha, your parents is requesting your presence in the main hall." He said in a gentle but deep voice. Dismissing his buddy's annoyed question.

The Alpha sighed for his Beta's lack of 'comprehension', as he calls it, to the social etiquette of entering a personal room.

"Damian, tell them I can't. I still have a lot of work to do." He responded then continues to sign papers.

Damian let out a heavy sigh before walking close to his alpha. "Al, you need to relax at some point. Take a break. Don't just lock yourself in this office.", He said to his best friend with worry in his tone. He used his Alpha's nickname.

"You know I can't do that.", Aleister simply said without even looking to his Beta.

"You know your parents are only trying to help you find your mate. It wouldn't hurt to take a break.", Damian argued.

"You know what, I don't need a fucking mate. They take your time and effort.", The Alpha replied with clear annoyance. "And if the break you are talking about is sex, I can fuck who I want. Go back to work my Beta." He continues.

Damian didn't obliged but took a step back. No one wants to be on the bad side of an Alpha. "Al, just take a break okay?", He still argues.

"Ugh!", Aleister grunted then eyed his Beta and best friend. Damian flinched but just shrugged it off. "Fine."

Both of them silently walks out of the office and towards the elevator to go downstairs and finally to the main hall where Aleister's parents are entertaining their guests and visitors from other packs. All the time, Damian just silently walks with his Alpha but couldn't hide his small smile. Aleister rolled his eye and release a grunt. "I swear if you don't stop smiling like an idiot, I will wipe that off your face.", Damian let out a chuckle before apologizing.
