Alpha Crimson's Unpredictable Mate

Chapter 14

"All passengers aboard, we have now landed in the province of Nepra. It is currently noon and we have a beautiful, sunny day greeting us outside. Thank you for flying with us, and as we say in Nepra, live your life to the fullest," the pilot announced into the intercom as Kaira awoke with a start.

She took a look around the plane and noticed other passengers taking their luggage down from the top compartments. Kaira simply remained seated since she didn't have any luggage. Nepra is a neutral zone, meaning there is an equal amount of werewolves and humans living on this territory. Kaira had just enough money to buy a few sets of new clothes and stay at a motel for a few days but she would have to find a small town with humans first. 

Simba's whining stirred Kaira away from her thoughts. She rubbed the top of his head before carefully hiding him within her apron and making her way through the crowded plane. Once exiting customs, she saw two men dressed in suits holding a board in their hand with the name 'Katerina Pavlov' written on it.

Kaira quickened her step and meant to walk away from them but they already noticed her. Both men stood in front of her, blocking her way towards the exit.

"Ms. Pavlov, our old master ordered us to pick you up and have you stay in his villa until you are ready to move forward with your plans," one of them spoke as Kaira eyed them up and down. Despite being dressed in formal attire, both of these men looked quite scary. The one who spoke was a burly man of Asian descent and had tattoos along his neck and hands. The other one was muscular but slimmer and of Caucasian descent with piercings on his right eyebrow.

"Old...master?" Kaira questioned confusedly and took a step back. She began to panic and wonder if it might be Alpha Crimson's trick to keep her occupied until he arrived.

"Yes, our old master is the one who made your passport. My name is Kenneth and this is my colleague, Sam," the slimmer man noticed Kaira's hesitant glance and pushed his burly partner aside. He didn't want her to be afraid of them.

"Oh. I am very grateful to your old master but I couldn't possibly impose myself on him," Kaira sighed in relief after finding out that the old master sent them and not her mate.

"We insist, Ms. Pavlov. Our master will never forgive us if we let you suffer here. Master purchased a ticket for you to come to our province because this is his hometown. He owns a villa here that used to belong to his daughter before she..." Kenneth explained as Kaira nodded her head solemnly. The old master just wanted to keep her safe since his own daughter suffered at the hands of Alpha Crimson's pack.

"I understand. Then, I will have to trouble you for a day or two. Thank you," Kaira accepted their offer and followed them to their vehicle.

Upon reaching the villa, Kaira could not believe her own eyes. The drive from the airport took almost one hour but Kaira could see why. The villa was located on the outskirts of a small town inhabited by humans. It was beautiful, or rather, more than beautiful, it felt alive despite no one living there since the old master's daughter passed away a few years ago. The architecture and interior design was absolutely mesmerizing and Kaira gawked at its beauty as she followed the two men inside the villa.

"This is your personal housemaid, Ms. Yu. She will take care of you while you are here," Kenneth explained as Kaira snapped her attention back to them and shook hands with Ms. Yu.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Yu" Kaira smiled towards the elderly woman but was met with her cold shoulder. Kaira was surprised and looked towards Kenneth who let out a nervous laugh.

"Don't mind her, please come this way Ms. Pavlov," Kenneth stated as he led Kaira to the guest bedroom on the first floor.

"Thank you," Kaira stated before removing  her apron and allowing Simba to crawl onto the bed and rest on the comfortable surface.
