"So, what do you need again?" Jacob asked him again.
Zeus sighed deeply before facing his most trusted men; after Adeline's arrival, he knew his father would start moving until Rodrigo didn't change his mind.
At the very first start, he knew Adeline wasn't the one who was destined for him because the only girl who got chosen by the moon goddess was gone, and worst that girl put him in so much pain.
"Uh, Zeus?"
He returned to his senses and said, "I need you to do me a favor."
"Oh, What kind of favor is that?"
"I want you to after Adeline. I have a bad feeling my father will use her against me."
"Hold on," Jacob places his palm right in his face, "Are you asking me to be your other woman's babysitter?"
Zeus didn't answer and look at him, while Jacob scoffed because he knew what was happening inside their alpha's mind.
"Hell no..." He murmured, "You asked me to be your other woman's bodyguard while spying on your father? Aren't you."
"Absolutely, and Adeline isn't my other woman, so watch your word, Jacob."
He smirked, "Then, who is she? A girl in bed?"
Zeus moves his head closer to him, "Do you want to die?"
"I'm kidding. Don't take it seriously, Zeus," He laughed nervously.
"I'm serious, Jacob, so if you don't have any plan to take this job seriously, I might ask Yohan to do me a favor instead."
Jacob exhales deeply because he doesn't have any choice but to accept their alpha's order, or else he might experience his punishment again, and he doesn't want that to happen.
"Why do you want me to look after Adeline instead of Agatha? Isn't she the luna and the chosen one?"
Zeus didn't expect that question from his men, "Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, I'm just confused. Why are you so concerned about Adeline even though Agatha is the one I need to take care of."
"You don't have to because I am the one who will look after Agatha," He replied.
Jacob gave him a mischievous grin, "Are you planning something?"
"Don't give me that look, Jacob," He warned.
"Well, you don't have to hide it from me. If you wanted to be with her all by yourself, then go on," Jacob said.
"What are you trying to imply."
Jacob stood up from his seat and walked towards the door, but before he left the room, he glanced at their alpha.
"Have a fun day with our luna, our dearest alpha."
That's all he said before finally leaving the room; however, Zeus shook his head because of the annoying behavior of his men. He looks at his phone before standing up from his seat, today is his first-day spending time with his contracted wife, and they have to look like a real couple in his father's eyes because if not, Rodrigo might find a way to remove Agatha from his life.
"I'm sorry, father, but I am not the old Zeus, you know..." He uttered.
*******************
Agatha looks at her wristwatch for the second time today because her bodyguard was 3 hours late, and she's been waiting for Jacob for almost 4 hours. She leaned on the chair she was sitting on and drank the juice she ordered from the restaurant; if she had known Jacob would become late, maybe she didn't have come so early.
"Agatha."
She rolled her eyes, "Thank you for keeping me wai-- Zeus!"
She was shocked to see Zeus because she couldn't quite remember if they talked about seeing each other in this restaurant.
"What are you doing here? Where is Jacob?" She asked him.
"He's busy."
"Oh..." She stood up and grabbed her bag, "Then, I might need to go home."
"You are not going anywhere, young lady."
"Why? As if I'm going to escape again without telling you besides, I will never do that again."
Zeus looks at her, "Maybe Jacob is absent, but I'm still here, so you're not going anywhere."
She scoffed and widened, "Don't tell me..."
"The answer is yes. So, don't think anything like what's inside of your head because this isn't a date."
"Wait, how did you know what I'm thinking?"
Zeus moved closer to her and stopped inches away from Agatha. He looks directly into her eyes, causing Agatha to avoid her gaze from the young man.
"Why are you looking at me like that..."
"Let's go," He murmured.
"Where?"
He handed her his palm, "Just go with me."
Agatha immediately looked at him and turned her gaze to Zeus's palm. She didn't know why but her heart was beating so fast, and later on, she accepted Zeus's hands.
He pulled her outside of the restaurant, and Zeus opened his car door, which made Agatha hope on quickly, and then Zeus went inside of his car before driving away from the place.
She can't help but stare at his handsome face because Agatha suddenly realizes how stunning and attractive he is. Her eyes traveled down to his lips, causing her to gulp and avert her gaze to stop herself from fantasizing about Zeus.
"I have a question," She uttered.
"What is it," Zeus said without looking at her.
She takes a deep breath, "I want to know more about your hidden identity..."
"What about my wolf form?"
"Is Jacob like you?"
Zeus stopped the car from the side of the road and exhaled deeply. He knew Agatha would ask for that thing, but he didn't expect her to ask so early, He looked at her, but this time his gaze was serious.
"Is that one of your plans taming my beast?" He inquired.
"N-not really..."
"I'm telling you this straight if you're collecting some information about me and my wolf form. I'm telling you to stop immediately."
"No," She confidently replied.
He smirked, "You became more stubborn, huh?"
"Look, I don't know the story behind your trust issue, but I'm telling you this. No matter what you do, I will do everything to tame the ruthless beast inside you."
"Let's see if you can do that."
After Zeus says those words, he starts the engine and drives away from the place, he is driving faster, and Agatha thinks he has a plan to kill her.
"Slow down!!" She shouted.
"I thought you're going to tame me then; you must experience how ruthless I am."
"Zeus!"
"I can't hear you!"
Agatha holds tightly in the car seat, "I swear, I'm gonna kill you!!"
Later on, the car slowed down, and Agatha felt relieved. She looked at him sharply while crossing her arm, but instead of scolding him, she was amazed to hear Zeus laughing.
"If you can see your face," He said while laughing.
She can't open her mouth because of the shock because Agatha is looking at a different Zeus.
"You almost puke Hahahaha!"
"This is the first time I hear you laugh," She uttered.
Zeus stops laughing and clears his throat, "What do you mean I'm not laughing."
She grinned, "Yes, you are."
"No, I am not."
"Okay."
She leans back in the car seat and shuts her mouth, causing Zeus to look at her.
"I hear that!" Zeus yelled at her and turned back his gaze to the road.
"What? Don't tell me you reread my thoughts?" She asked.
"No, I didn't read your thoughts because it's too loud, and it's enough for me to hear it."
She shrugged her shoulder, "So, what did I say in my mind."
She sighed, "Why don't you laugh or smile more often? Maybe your employees won't look at you like a beast.",
"Why would I? I'm a werewolf, remember, and I am an alpha, so it's not my duty to adjust myself for them," he replied.
Agatha got confused by what she heard and said, "Alpha? Wait, I think I read about that. Is it the highest position in the werewolf industry?"
"I thought you're just a stupid person, but you're amazed me because I didn't know you were reading a book."
She raised her eyebrow, "Are you insulting me again because if yes, I won't let you pass this time."
Zeus chuckled and turned the car right; he stopped from the side of the road, causing Agatha to look outside the car window. There she saw the quiet beach and the sunset. After living in LA, this was the first time she had come to the beach.
"You wanted to know me better, right? Then, we must get to know each other. This is the only thing I know to start over again because, after all, you're not just my contracted wife; from that one, you are included in my life, and I have to protect you."
She chuckled softly, "Why are you like that? Did you eat something or what?"
Zeus looks at the sunset and flashes a simple smile, "I never see the sunset, and I know this is your first time too, so maybe it's the best time to know each other."
"Well, If you're going to be kind just today. Then, I must cherish it because tomorrow you might come back to the old Zeus, I know."
Agatha turned her gaze back to the sunset. She didn't know it was beautiful from the closer and after having a long existence in this city. This was the first time she saw how beautiful it was, and she will treasure this day because maybe she wouldn't come back to this place again.
"Let's go?" Zeus asked.
She smiled for the last time before facing the young man and said, "Yes, I didn't want to miss this special day of our lives."
She goes inside the car while Zeus is left inside his vehicle; he knows this is not right because Agatha is his paid wife, but there is a strange feeling growing inside his body, and maybe this is what they call always say.
Zeus looks at the young lady Who is currently standing outside of the car looking at the beautiful sunset, and suddenly he feels a smile on his lips; maybe Jacob is right that Agatha is the chosen one.
'If she is the chosen one, I must accept it, but if she's not. I will end what I started and marry Adeline.' He turned his gaze to the sun that was finally coming down, 'what's your plan, moon goddess...'
