Fated To Three, And I Broke Them All novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: 23-He Is Hungry For My Breast

Verity:

The car ride passed in complete silence.

Neither of us said a word.

It seemed as though a thousand thoughts were running through his mind.

One moment he was opening files, and the next he was checking his phone.

As expected of him, his life revolved around work, or around his brother and Gigi.

That was exactly what I had to change.

I guess I had a really good chance last night, at least to try and stir something between us, but my hesitation ruined everything.

We arrived at the Omega side of the pack.

It was a small village, and I immediately noticed that most of the houses looked run-down.

No wonder these people were unhappy.

As soon as I got out of the car, I noticed the café where we would be having a meeting.

It looked as though the café had been hastily prepared for a special occasion, and I guessed the Alpha King’s arrival was the perfect excuse.

Although it was a very small café, they had put up lights and lanterns, trying to create the kind of atmosphere the Alpha King would appreciate.

Ragnar would have stood out here regardless.

There was something about the way he carried himself.

He paused to fasten a button on his coat and glanced around.

The owner of the café hurried outside, all smiles while holding a bouquet.

"Your Highness, we are blessed to have you here."

The man was in his early forties, yet he looked much older than his age.

I knew that because I had reviewed his documents.

Gathering information for meetings was part of my job.

The only difference was that I had been given very limited information about this meeting.

Everything I knew had been shared during the car ride.

That was why I had looked into the café owner myself.

His face seemed lined with worry.

He kept looking around and rubbing his hands anxiously, trying to make sure everything was in order.

I was smiling, even though deep down, I was troubled.

The memory of last night was exhausting me, but I kept a smile on my lips.

As I followed Ragnar into the café, the servers stood in a line to welcome us.

They all bowed to him, and he responded with a gentle nod before making his way to our booth.

Like I said, it was a small café, but it felt incredibly cozy.

The mountain view from the window was beautiful, especially from our booth.

I sat down beside Ragnar and noticed how much space he occupied.

He casually draped his arm behind my seat, but it made me uncomfortable, so I leaned forward, even if it was a little dramatic.

The seat was tall enough to support my back, but the backrest was slightly reclined.

It seemed the Alpha had already been waiting because the moment we stepped inside and settled into our seats, an older man appeared.

He was wearing a brand-new suit, as though he had just taken it out of its cover.

He walked toward us with his Beta and Gamma at his side, both carrying gifts and bouquets.
