CHAPTER 24 MASTER OF THE HOUSE

at the living room

gulf: yes they are actually, want to test it out?

maid: lord nattarine good noon sir. may i get you your lunch sir?

gulf: (sideglanced the maid) no, pack your bags and return to the castle and wait for the master of the houses verdict on your loose tongue.

maid: b-but sir...

gulf: (glanced again at the girl)

maid: understood sir (left the two of them on hunched shoulders)

-why did you do that to her, gulf? im just asking her.

gulf: nosy! youre lucky i didnt fire her then and there. why are you doing this mild? you know i hate too many people.

mild: im just trying to help you gulf. now that you assigned me as your master of the house, its my job to assist both of you in any way possible. just... just not... privately...

gulf: MILD!

mild: oh well... leave it be...  wheres your alpha?

gulf: hes already at his office making amends for all the time that he was with me during the whole ordeal.

mild: oh... then... gulf... how are you? (concerned placed on gulfs arm)

gulf: can i have a hug? i miss you mild... (mild opened his arms for his friend)

mild: you know you could always rely on me bestie... no matter where or who you are, ill always be by your side supporting you. (let go of gulf) hey, you know what?

gulf: what?

mild: you may not believe me but when your biological parents left you on your moms doorstep that night, the moon goddess gave me a mission. i may be a baby that time but the moon goddess opened my mind to be your protector. ever since then, im always by your side. but gulf, dont misunderstand me, okay? i never became your bestfriend because the goddess told me to be one but you chose me to be one... i really love you bestie...

gulf: (teared) awww... i really do love you beastie...

mild: damn! you never change... i hate you... (hugged him again) dont cry... why are you so moody, by the way? youre not like this before... i may be a beta but i know you without my nose telling me that theres something going on.... spill it...

gulf: (chuckled)

mild: SPILL IT GULF! OR E-

gulf: im pregnant, mild! quit it!

mild: WHAAAAAAT! well... well thats to be expected since you got your alpha now. he already knew, right?

gulf: yeah, we went for a checkup yesterday.

mild: how far along?

gulf: a month... i already feel his heartbeat.

mild: his, huh? you certain?

gulf: no not yet. but regardless of what gender he is, i love him already.

mild: im so happy for you, bes. me and my descendants will serve your family forever, gulf.

gulf: descendants? you got your mate already? (mild nods) you, beast! why didnt you tell me?

mild: well, you got yourself busy with your training and forgot all about me.

gulf: sorry. (laugh with him)

mild: by the way, about that girl you just sent packing back to the castle. what do you want to do to her.

gulf: get her to scrub the dungeon to a tee. i know she needed her job for her family and kid. that should teach her to be close lip if needed.

mild: bu... but that dungeon is huge, gulf. youll kill her...

gulf: what? did i say the whole area? just the cell where i was captured up to the entrance. it reeked blood in there and the floor is so grimy. poor mew laid there for a good amount of time. i got a hard time scrubbing him clean after that.

mild: oh... did... did you really purged the whole castle gulf? and... and killed marcus, lhong and your foster father too?

gulf: yeah... we have to... oh mild... if you could only hear the moon goddess with all her cries and resentment to all those who wronged her, my heart ached all those times mild. mew have to cradle me all night to get me out of the trance. but what could we do but be with her to appease her and carry on her will. we are not trapped by her, mild, we are not played. we consented. she asked us before we got tranced and we agreed to help her. she cannot have a material body here on our plane but me as her descendant, was her only choice and chance for justice.

mild: thats deep, gulf. i really cannot imagine what happened to the lot of them that night but it reeked bloodshed. we felt the chill all night long all the way to the village gulf. let me tell now before you hear it from someone else. no one wants to approach the castle after that incident. they fear both of you now.

gulf: they should not fear us mild.

mild: yeah tell that to them.

gulf: yeah... well... why not?

mild: not what?

gulf: mild... no... master of the house... organize the festival on the castle grounds. make it a fair. ostara festival marks new beginning. its just so fitting to let this pass by. we will announce our coming and the reform as well. invite our allies as well.

mild: your wish is my command, lord nattarine.

gulf: ew... that coming from is just so.. errr (shivered in disgust)

mild: (smacked his friends arm) no matter who you are, youre still gulf for me!

(gulf and mild laugh at that)

around 3 in the afternoon at mews office.

gulf: (gulf entered the office without knocking) babe, lis-.... hmmmm... care to explain, mew? (locking his arms to his chest)

mew: love, hes...

guy: who is he, daddy? (sitting on top of mews desk facing a startled mew on his seat)

gulf: da-daddy?... really... (eyebrow shoot up and chilled the whole room)
