Chapter 57 - ✧ 56 ✧

The future alpha unhurriedly balanced Xiao Mei Zhi properly on his side and let her go in his arms without a word after a few minutes. Beat and Seven were still speechless. Unable to believe that they have just seen something rare. They had never seen their future alpha act gently with other girls the way he treated Xiao Mei Zhi. Now they had the first glimpse after several years of growing together, and they should supposedly be immune to their Alpha's attitude, yet what as they see, their body felt some cringe. Occasionally, their future Alpha would glare at them and he could just flip them away drifting in the sky. But no, not when he was around with Xiao Mei Zhi.

The aura that Xiao Mei Zhi can feel from what she sees at the man who just saved her was like an ecstatic beast. She never said any word afterward, she felt like it was just nonsense when Beat and Seven has no interest in giving attention to her --to go back to the shop.

All of them were silent. Having their privacy in thinking about things that they must deal with. Xiao Mei Zhi steal a glance again the man and she felt like her ongoing stare will forget that she was alive.

Beat pursed his lips and was ready to say something, "How about we send her back to the shop? Instead of Seven going alone with her, just to make sure she is safe and secure as possible, since we will not be able to meet her anymore after this."

Xiao Mei heard what Beat just explained to the other males that were standing adjacent to her on both sides. She bit her tongue in stillness for a second.

And Seven put in more words after Beat, "But our future alp--" when he realized he was about to say something that can make Xiao Mei Zhi confuse, he quickly changed his phrase, "But our man here, does not look like he will agree with what you just have told."

"I do not think I am the one who has a problem," The future Alpha glared with the corner of his lips slightly raised. In reality, Beat and Seven are willing and interested to bring Xiao Mei Zhi back to the coffee shop as to what they have discussed, but on the other side, where nobody else could see them and only their Future Alpha, they would not be interested in sending a female back. They are the two lazy werewolves. And walking was not their favorite at all. Unless they are with their mates if they have one already.

But at the end of their conversation, they left their bags in the luggage area before going out of the airport with a forceful smile on Beat and Seven's faces. Their future Alpha always had thought that he would not see them respecting a human outside, but now he saw how appropriate they are, and it would be a surprise for the other members if they see or hear that Beat and Seven eventually acted as a human man.

Both Xiao Mei Zhi and the future Alpha were satisfied with what happened at the airport, so nobody asked anymore that has a hint of slight worry in their voices. With the future Alpha by her side, she felt that her safety was guaranteed without knowing it was because on his behalf. And that thought, she never expected to be swapped just because of a man. Her reality was and 'is' still dark, the experience she does not want to keep remembering makes her depressed, and the feeling of being alone without a mother was like being unloved. She lowered her eyes and murmured, "Strange."

Her face turned bright red as her foresight pictured her mother laughing with them, from the quality of what she saw, it was unlikely real, she was not expecting that kind of scene running in her head.

Seven felt that Xiao Mei Zhi was slowing down her pace, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Beat and their Future Alpha were going forward without them.

"No, I am fine. Just-- "

"Tired?"

"Yeah. Because you guys took me to the airport when I lost consciousness."

"Shouldn't you thank us instead?"

"Why? You could have just brought me to a near hospital."

Seven went forward from Xiao Mei Zhi while he rubbed his face with his left palm. She did not mean to make him annoyed.

"We just arrived here, and how would I know that there is a near hospital here?"

Xiao Mei Zhi just got defeated since Seven was right, there was no nearby hospital, and he just arrived by plane in Tianjin. She was kind of being harsh. Who would not be? When the guys that are with her are unrelated to her, morally outsiders.

Suddenly the cars on the street beeped, and Seven cursed. It was shocking for Xiao Mei Zhi, she did not understand a word coming from Seven. In addition, she was mentally and physically depleted. She had to endure until they reached the shop.

After a lot of steps, Beat said, "We have arrived at our desired destination,"

Xiao Mei Zhi cares less about replying to Beat, she just entered the shop and sat on a vacant chair. She was in a neutral mood all day.

While she was pondering, Beat and Seven were lowering their heads in respect to their Alpha who commented on what they did to him and the female human, Xiao Mei Zhi.

"What do you think is this place Seven? This is not the same as our land. Behave well. Just like how you behave in front of the human." Their future Alpha shortly glanced at Xiao Mei Zhi.

"Is she a human?"

"Yes." Seven quickly said while their future Alpha looked at Beat for confirmation since he has a unique gift among the family of werewolves they got.

Their future alpha wanted to stay longer in the shop to watch Xiao Mei Zhi from a distance but they have work to do and spend their night roaming in Tianjin, searching for a bar.
