The beautiful girl returned to enjoying her gray life. Every day, Eden cleaned up all her mother's mess at home. Empty bottles strewed about, beer cans, leftover snacks, and scattered dirty clothes.
Not to mention the awful smell from the leftover stale food that Eden prepared for her.
Like today, she woke up early and cleaned up all the mess.
"Finish!! Oh Gosh, it's done! I'm tired!" Eden wiped her sweaty forehead. Finally, she finished cleaning the house until it was super clean.
"Time to work and go to museums!" Eden put a blanket on Vica's body before leaving for the museum. Today Mr. Timothy, a history teacher, his class would be on a study tour to the national museum.
When she was about to leave, Eden passed Marvel's room. The young man was not there. Eden had not seen Marvel for almost a week. It's been a week since Marvel hasn't asked for money or hit Eden.
"Marvel hasn't been seen these few days?? Is he okay?" Eden was starting to get worried; Marvel didn't usually disappear for up to a week. As a sister, it's natural for Eden to be worried about him.
"I'll call him later." Eden took a deep breath. What's wrong with this family? Why was everything so broken that it seemed like it couldn't be fixed?
When her daddy died, everything changed. The once cheerful family was now completely torn apart.

Eden pedaled her bicycle to the grocery store to pick up a box filled with milk bottles.
"Good morning, Auntie. I'm in a hurry, so I have to finish my job quickly." Eden took the customer list and fastened the box on the back seat.
"Be careful, E!" Hanun shouted as Eden pedaled her bicycle again, complete with five boxes full of warm milk.
"Okay!!" shouted Eden to answer.
Eden circled the housing complex to distribute milk, lastly was Ace's house. Eden looked forward to it the most because every morning, she could see her idol's handsome face. After the bullying incident, Eden and Ace grew closer. Eden, even more, admired Ace's attitude, who openly defended her in front of many people at school. Ace was not afraid to be ostracized. Eden now had the support and protection from all basketball team members.
"Hey, E. Want to go to school together?" Ace asked.
"Sorry, Ace. I have a trip to the museum, a history lesson."
"Well, that must be fun. Have you had breakfast? Want to drink milk? My parents left today, so there are two bottles left. There's still ten minutes before school." Ace handed Eden a bottle of milk. Eden hesitantly accepted it. She was lactose intolerant but still wanted to be with Ace.
"Enjoy while it's still warm!" Ace opened the lid for Eden; gosh, in this situation, how could Eden refuse??
"Thanks." Eden received the milk from Ace's hand and started to enjoy it.
The two of them sat on Ace's front porch. Chatting, Eden occasionally laughs at Ace's jokes. Ace was a fun type of guy, an easy-going person. Eden felt comfortable around Ace. Sometimes Eden was afraid to interpret her feelings. How could a perfect man like Ace like an abnormal girl like her?
Did Ace has the same feeling as her?
"I must go! Thanks for the milk." Eden said goodbye. She finished the milk before leaving Ace.
Ace could only smile. He shook his hand until Eden was gone from his sight.
Alexander prepared to go to the museum to fulfill his grandma's vision. Alexander would find his mate at the first alpha statue.
"I pray you'll meet a beautiful and strong woman as your mate. That woman will bear a dozen children for you, Alpha." Jared chattered while fixing Alexander's tie.
"Don't talk too much, Jared," said Alexander. He had to meet his mate at the museum quickly. If the grandmother's prediction were correct, Alexander would meet his soulmate today.
"I'm too happy, after all these years, you finally met your mate!! I guess you are also impatient, right, Alpha?? Your strength will increase when you put your mark on her. And you will be so thirsty... so desire... for… ahem… sex!" Jared whispered in his last sentence.
"Why are you the one who thinks so, pervert??" Alexander's face warmed.
"How can I not? You are still a virgin. You even reject all the unmated she-wolf each time the breeding season occurs. You must be very restrained… or… is it maybe???" Jared shut his mouth in disbelief. He had never seen a wolf have sexual problems.
"I am not impotent!!"
"I'm grateful!! it's so pitying for the Lupo family if they don't have a successor." Jared smiled. He headed to the walk-in closet to choose a watch. Dozens of watches from various leading brands were neatly lined up. Jared took one of them and rushed back to his Master.
"Please, Alpha. Gold watch for good luck. Good luck." Jared patted his black Armani suit, so there wasn't a speck of dust.
Alexander just shook his head. He wanted to find a mate; why was Jared so enthusiastic??! Well … Jared had taken care of Alexander since he was little. Even when his father and mother died, Jared was always beside Alexander to take care of him.
Jared also taught Alexander to be an actual wolf. For Alexander, Jared was not only a beta of his pack; he was family.
"Prepare the car, Jared."
"Yes, Lord."
Alexander smiled; Jared was right. he needed a mate for a strong descendant to continue the Lupo Family bloodline.
Alexander became curious.
How strong is his mate? And how beautiful is she?
With wide steps, Alexander entered the museum area. Some staff and security recognized Alexander because the man was often sponsored the museum.
Alexander headed to the statue of the wolf, at halfway there. Footsteps echoed loudly throughout the room, a girl in a uniform dashing after her school study group. For some reason, The girl stopped in front of the wolf statue.
"Is it possible??" Alexander's brow furrowed deeply.
She's not a woman; she's a teenage girl!!! She was wearing a high school uniform. The image of a sexy and seductive woman in Alexander's mind was scattered.
