The Human Alpha

Part 8

"When what you have is lost,
Better is on it's way
Best is about to happen."

Carlson's pov

I have not been myself ever since I met her. I can see that even Celine can feel that something was off but chose to ignore.

Godsake I am trying my best to look normal, but I am not.
Nothing feels right, nothing feels the same.
All I want is to see those hazel eyes one more time.

"Babe?!"
"Uh.. Yeah." I looked at Celine's dissapointed face.
"How long do I have to call you? What color do you prefer?" Her look intensifying.
"Color for what?" I was confused. I have no idea what she was talking about.
"Oh my god, not again. For heaven's sake it's for our wedding." She sighed heavily shaking her head.
Damn. The wedding.
How come forget that we have a wedding close by?
"Oh my bad baby, work stress." I said looking away with guilt.
I was suppose to marry the woman who was sitting next to me but yet here I am dreaming about someone I just met.

"You are not yourself Carl, I can see that. Is something bothering you? " she asked concerned.
Now I am even more guilty.
All my life since I started dating Celine, she has been nothing but caring. She is the main reason I don't give up on what I started.
She was- is the love of my life. But still I feel empty. As if I am missing something, a part of me. And, this feeling started two days back when I met a certain person.

"No dear, nothing at all. It's just work. You know how hard time can be." I said in a forceful way. I just hope she gives in.

Celine nodded her head understandingly.

*Rings*

I looked at the phone ringing on the table.
-

Jacob-
I sighed.
"I will come in awhile darling, why don't you pick a color that would suffice both of us?" I asked Celine giving her my best baby eyes. She kept looking at me and then rolled her eyes.
Dah, it always work.
"Okay, you better come back to your sense before our wedding buddy I'm watching" she said looking dead in the eye.
I smiled. I love this woman. How can I even get a second guess?

When the last ring was about to go off I answered the phone.

'Asshole, I thought you were dead for a second.' My dear best buddy people.
' A very good morning to you too Jacob. Pray what might be the honor of you calling me this early morning, sure it must be very important.'
I answered with a fake british accent.
'Dude, I am already having too much on my plate right now, the last thing I want is you beign a prick on my ass. By the way it's actually a very important matter that I have called you. It's about Ms. Kruthern.'
Saying her name made all my humor vanish away, suddenly I was very attentive towards the topic.
'I am listening' I saw Celine walking towards the kitchen to greater relief. The last thing I want is to have an argument with her about a beautiful random woman.
Beautiful?  Seriously, right infront I mean behind your fianceé. Not a good move.

'Seems like she has a new visitor at her place.' Jacob replied.
'A visitor? That's just a normal way how people live. Don't we all habe visitors? Why does that have to be bothered? ' marvellous, he was worried about she having visitors.
'Not just any visitors Carl, it's Brandon.' That took me by surprise.

'Brandon? As in The Brandon Horan?'

'Yes. As in The Brandon Crimson Horan.' His voice held no humor.

'It might have been a mistake, I mean it's been three years. You sure about it? '
'This time I confirmed it myself. He was seen with Ms. Kruthern near her village border. Seem like she has no idea who he is, but still she let him stay. Hope she knows whom she is dealing with.' Jacob answered.

Brandon Horan. But, how is this even possible? The last time anybody ever witnessed his presence was at his parents funeral. And now he has showed up surprising all of us specially when the lady from the mountain made her first appearence. Something seems off.

'I don't like the sound of it J. It might be a risk to her abd also to our companies. Did you find anything else?'
'Nothing more. Well, since you wanted me to have a closer eye on her that's the only thing I've got. Uh.. Wait I guess one more. She looks distressed as if she has been crying all night. No idea cause I didn't have a closer look at her. Just once when she turned to check the posts.' He replied.

Distressed? But, why?

' Thank you. That would be enough. You can still keep an eye on Brandon. Leave the rest to me.'

'Cool dude, catch you back later. Have a nice day.' And he hung up.

Brandon is back. It must something really important for him to show up again. I have to arrange another meeting with Ms. Kruthern as soon as possible. If she isn't aware of her situation, then I would gladly enlighten her about it.
It's sunday, so tomorrow when I get back to my office I would have to schedule a date for the meeting.
For some odd reason I am actually excited about it.

"Breakfast is getting cold babe." Celine said from the kitchen catching me by surprise.
"On my way." I still don't understand what kind of a connection I feel towards that young lady. Whenever I think about her all I feel is excitement but It's not suppose to happen.

With my confusion aside I went to the kitchen counter to eat the breakfast made by my fianceé.
Fianceé, I don't know why but I think I made a decision too quick that there is no turn back right now.
That thought give me creeps.
