Alpha's Eternal Love

In a large house that is designed very luxuriously and elegantly, there is a man who is monitoring a large monitor screen in his private room. A monitor screen that shows all the activities of employees in the company. That man was Arlord Stephen.

Arlord is the CEO of the Netland Group Company, one of the leading companies in Los Angeles. However, during his time as CEO, he rarely appeared in public because he didn't want to expose his face too much. This allows him to monitor activities at the company from his home. He will go to the company, only if there is something urgent.

Every time he leaves the house, Arlord always wears a mask that he designed himself, so that it becomes his trademark and becomes a trend among the public. She suffers a lot when her facial skin is exposed to direct sunlight. It was like burning.

"Sir, your Grandpa and Grandma are here," said Daniel, Arlord's private secretary.

"Okay. I'm going to meet them right now." Arlord put on his mask, then turned around to face Daniel and stepped out of the room.

Right now, Arlord was already in the very spacious living room of his house. The house is quite quiet. There were only him and Daniel who also lived there. He deliberately did not employ servants in his very large house. All that cleans the house alone and sometimes Daniel also helps, if the man is at home. Arlord didn't want many people to know his privacy.

"Oh, my grandson. I miss you so much. How are you?" asked Mrs. Martha, Arlord's grandmother. The old woman hugged her granddaughter lovingly.

"I'm fine, Grandma. Why didn't grandma and grandpa call first if they wanted to come here? Even though I could have come right away," said Arlord. He felt quite alert when he saw his grandparents who suddenly came to his house. He felt there was something they were aiming for.

"Why? You don't like me visiting here?" asked Mr. Marvel, Arlord's grandfather.

"It's not like that, Grandpa. I don't want to bother you." Arlord hid his wariness. Then he sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Oh my God, our grandchildren are getting older. However, he doesn't have a partner yet. You better hurry to find a wife. Don't be alone for too long." Mrs. Martha deliberately made fun of her only granddaughter.

Arlord only gave a smile. Speaking of partners, he is still traumatized. Bitter memories with his former lover still haunt his mind. Even until this moment, he couldn't forget that woman. "Where is there a woman who wants to be with me, Grandma? I also don't want to find a partner just yet. I still have a lot of things to take care of," said Arlord making his grandparents sad.

"Who says no woman wants to be with you? Instead they flock to get you. You are a true leader. You have a lot of wealth too. Your face is also very handsome," said Mr. Marvel, changing the subject.

Mrs. Martha just sighed when she realized her granddaughter's attitude now. She then spoke again. "Arlord, answer honestly Grandma's question. Do you still love that human?"

"Why do I still love her, Grandma? She was no longer in this world and that incident was already 100 years ago. A leader like me wouldn't be saddened by the loss of a human like her," said Arlord quickly, though he was still thinking about her. However, the pain in his heart was so imprinted. Anger immediately burned when he remembered the name Nicole, the woman who had made his life miserable all this time. The woman who suddenly died without saying goodbye to him first.

"Good. You have to forget it. There are still many suitable women for you in this world," said Mrs. Martha. She was sad to see the suffering of her only grandson. Although life is full of wealth, but the young man looks very pitiful.

"I'll give the woman a replacement." Master Marvel suddenly spoke up.

"Don't ever interfere with my partner!" Arlord's eyes immediately reddened, making his grandparents instantly fall silent. No one would dare to disturb Arlord, as the man's red eyes shone sharply.

"What does this mean?" Nicole asked the three people who were currently at her house. She was very shocked when she heard the words of one of the people who charged her money.

"Sorry, Sis. We from the bank want to collect the debt on behalf of Mr. Jeremi. Is he here? He did not pay the debt according to the time we set," said one bank employee.

Nicole squeezed her hands together, holding back the emotions raging in her heart. Her parents were always looking for trouble. Even though only last month she paid her mother's debt and now she also has to pay her father's debt. "How much is the debt?"

The bank employee submitted evidence of data on loans made by Mr. Jeremi, Nicole's father. "Based on our data, the total debt is $250,000."

Nicole was in shock. She didn't expect her father to do something like this to her. What do you do with that kind of money? She kept asking in her heart. In fact, all this time, for the needs of her parents she always gave rations.

"Sorry, but I have nothing to do with Mr. Jeremi's debt. Please go find him. He doesn't live here," Nicole said. She was tired of having to help pay off her parents' endless debt.

"Okay. Please tell us where Mr. Jaehwan is. If we still haven't found him, you have to take responsibility. You are one of the names listed on the family list," said the bank.

"I don't know," Nicole lied.

"Okay, we'll find it ourselves. In that case, we'll say goodbye." The bank immediately left Nicole's house.

Nicole squeezed her hand. Her patience is running out. She couldn't just sit around being treated arbitrarily by her parents.

That afternoon, Nicole was already at her parents' house. She have mixed feelings right now. She really couldn't believe that her parents could still have fun, even though they had a lot of debt.

"Waw ... mom and dad look happy. Ah, yes. I forgot. You threw all the trouble at me, including your debts," Nicole sneered deliberately sarcastically to her parents.

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and eat!" tell Mr. Jeremy.

Nicole suddenly pounded the dining table.

"Gosh! What are you doing?!" shouted Mrs. Renata, Nicole's mother.

"What are you two doing?! Why are you always bothering me with your debts?!" Nicole shouted so loudly.

"Calm down. What do you mean, Nicole? Try to talk it over nicely," said Mr. Jeremi in a soft tone.

"Earlier the bank came to my house to collect the debt. But, now look at your actions! How can you still eat well with a large and expensive menu like this? You never see how my life is. Are mom and dad not ashamed of me?!" Nicole shouted with a look of pain.

"How dare you yell at the old man?!" shouted Mrs. Renata disapprovingly. "You should do that. We've paid for your life from small to large. You think that's enough with the money you have spent on us? Children do not know themselves!"

Her mother's words were like a thousand needles piercing her heart. So painful, but not bleeding. "I didn't think, Mother was so calculating with me." Nicole smiled while shedding tears. She immediately ran out of her parents' house. Her heart was so tight, if she was there for a long time.

With unsteady steps, Nicole tried to steel herself to walk through the increasingly crowded night streets. She deliberately walked and did not go straight home. She wanted to breathe free air to relieve the tightness in her heart.

However, Nicole's body suddenly wobbled when her foot tripped over a rock and ended up making her fall on the pavement. Her defenses have collapsed. Now she weeps over her bad luck with a position that is still sitting on the sidewalk. She didn't care about the stares of the other passersby. She just wanted to pour out all her sadness so far.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening. Arlord was silent, staring at the busy night street. However, not as busy as in Los Angeles. He purposely went to Arcata to meet one of the clients.

"Do you still have nightmares?" Daniel asked his best friend and boss. He was very worried about the condition of the man who often daydreamed.

"Are you kidding? Where is there sleep in my life?" replied Arlord looking into the windshield.

"But now you're disguised as a human. Don't forget that." Daniel reminded.

"Yes, I know. I don't know. Every time I close my eyes, that horrible image always comes to me," replied Arlord quietly, still staring at the street scene through the car window.

"It's time for you to forget your trauma. I know it's not easy. I only wish you the best." Daniel glanced at his side. Staring pity at the figure of Arlord who is actually so fragile, it doesn't match the cold and tough image that has been attached to the man all this time.

On the way home with his secretary, suddenly Arlord saw a woman sitting on the sidewalk crying. Curiosity began to overtake him when he smelled a familiar scent. "Stop a minute, Daniel." He checked again from the car's rearview mirror, saw the figure of a woman who looked familiar to him.

"Isn't it him?" said Arlord hanging. His body immediately shook violently. His heartbeat started to become irregular. However, his curiosity dominates when he sees the woman crying on the side of the road. He then got out of the car and approached the woman.

Slowly, Arlord's steps began to draw closer to the place of the woman he had not seen in a long time. 'How can that woman be here? Wasn't it dead?' All thoughts were jumbled in his brain. From a close distance, he also felt the pain of the pitiful cry that came out of that beautiful face. The face that was still the same as 100 years ago when he met that woman.

"Is it possible to solve all your problems by crying like this?" said Arlord quietly.

Nicole raised her head when she saw someone standing in front of her and let out a quite sarcastic voice this time. The man was wearing a mask, scaring her a little. With all her might, she tried to stand up. However, her ankle hurt so much that it made her sit back down on the pavement.

"Already. Don't pretend to be strong when it's the other way around." Without hearing Nicole's answer, Arlord immediately picked up the woman's body and carried her to the car.

"Hey! Put me down!" Nicole shouted while hitting the chest of the man she didn't know. She was afraid that the man would do something to her. However, her punch didn't hurt the burly body at all, instead, the two hands gripped her body even tighter.

Nicole tried to scream for help, but no one wanted to help her. She felt very worried, moreover the passersby who were there just watching her. They thought that it was just a scene between lovers fighting.

Arlord immediately threw the woman's body in the back seat. He then closed the car door and sat in the front seat. "Let's go!" he asked Daniel.

"Where are you going to take me?" Nicole was getting worried. She was also very scared when she saw the masked face of the man in front of her which was quite scary.

'Has he finished performing arts? But, why does his clothes look so formal?' Nicole asked herself.

"Where is your house?" asked Alord with eyes glancing at the rearview mirror in the car. He was curious to see the condition of his former lover. However, he became more and more curious. Why are they both so similar? Is that woman the reincarnation of his former lover?

"Why are you asking everything? That is none of your business!" Nicole replied fiercely.

Arlord took a deep breath. He tried to suppress his anger at the woman. 'It's still the same as before. So arrogant,' Arlord thought.

"Do you want to go home or do you want me to drop you off at the side of the road?" said Arlord again.

Without thinking, Nicole immediately gave her home address. She didn't want to be dropped off on the side of the deserted road. She still had a lot of things to take care of and she didn't want her life to be wasted. Even though she didn't know the man, for some reason she had a sense of trust that the man wasn't a bad person.

Not long after, the black luxury car arrived in front of Nicole's house. Arlord immediately got down and immediately opened the back door of the car. "Are your feet okay?" he asked, checking Nicole's condition.

"Sure," Nicole replied nonchalantly, then she tried to get out of the car. Even though her leg still hurt, she endured it. She didn't want to drop her pride in front of that man.

'Still stubborn,' Arlord muttered to himself.

"Thanks for the ride," Nicole said.

"Okay, you're welcome," replied Arlord with a small smile. Nicole then opened the fence and walked into the yard with limping steps.

"Uh, what's your name?" asked Arlord in a voice loud enough for the woman to turn her head in his direction.

"My name is Nicole." Nicole returned to continue the steps that had stopped.

'Still the same name. Is she really your reincarnation?' A faint smile appeared on Arlord's face.

***

Usually Arlord stayed up all night, spending his time in the garden behind his house. Since he was born, he never sleeps at all. Arlord is alpha or the leader of the most powerful werewolf and is respected by his people. This time he is disguised as an ordinary human and leads a company that he managed to grow to success.

No one in the company knew Arlord's true identity. Only the werewolves know, plus Daniel, who is a watcher or human who is trusted by the werewolf nation to help with all matters in the human world.

Tonight, Arlord's mind was on the figure of a woman named Nicole. He was very curious as to whether it was the Nicole he knew or some other woman. His instincts told him that she was his Luna (couple destined for alpha). However, he didn't want to be too hasty in choosing a luna. Moreover, the woman was just an ordinary human and he also still didn't know her in detail.

"What are you thinking? Could it be that woman?" Daniel suddenly approached Arlord.

"Don't you feel that that woman is the Nicole my lover?" asked Arlord still looking up at the beautiful star-studded sky.

"You're not wrong to ask me? 100 years ago, I still didn't exist in this world, Arlord," Daniel replied.

Daniel is a human who is 30 years old. Daniel became Arlord's confidant ever since the man was in danger. Five years ago, Arlord helped Daniel when he was about to be attacked by Rogue (a very dangerous wild werewolf). Since then their relationship has grown closer. In the end, Arlord trusted Daniel to help him take care of the company he had built.

The reason Arlord founded the Netland Group Company was to fulfill his former lover's dream. The woman named Nicole has a dream of establishing a large wine company. The woman loves wine very much. Every day her life can not be far from drinks that have alcohol content. In the end the woman had the desire to make alcohol-free wine that was safe to consume every day.

"Ahh, sorry. I forgot." Arlord exhaled slowly.

"Is that woman's face the same as your lover? Is she a werewolf too?" asked Daniel curiously.

"That women are human like you. My girlfriend was also human. I told you about a year ago." Arlord closed his eyes again, trying to remember the beautiful face of his former lover.

"Yes, I remember. If the woman is a real human, it means that she is not your lover. It is impossible for a human to not age at all. Moreover, you said that your lover died," said Daniel.

"I know. Tomorrow help me investigate about that woman." Arlord looked at Daniel with fiery red eyes. When he was remembering the most painful thing, his eyes would turn red. However, Daniel was not surprised at all. Daniel had been used to seeing another figure in Arlord during these five years.

The beautiful sun exposure with soaring white clouds adorns the horizon this morning. Nicole is getting ready to start her activities before leaving for work. This morning, she woke up a little late. She slept too late last night, because thinking about her parents had made her feel even more miserable. Come to think of it, all this time she had been too weak to deal with her parents, so they took advantage of her like that.

Nicole Yovanka, a young and beautiful woman aged 29 years, but has a sad destiny. Her married life with her ex-husband named Harvey Andrew only lasted one year. Her ex-husband died in an accident. During four years as a widow, Nicole was ostracized by her neighbors, because many of their husbands liked her beauty.

After drying the clothes, Nicole entered the house. Every morning, she always does the routine of cleaning the house which is quite small. She just lived alone, while her parents had their own house not far from her house. She put down the laundry basket, then immediately got ready to go to work.

"Ahh, less than half an hour. Why can I wake up late, anyway? Moreover, my motorcycle tire is leaking. Ah, that sucks." Nicole was running around in her room, getting everything ready for work while ordering a taxi online.

After everything was ready, Nicole immediately left the room. Intend to wait for a taxi in front of the house. She immediately locked the door of her house so that when a taxi came, she immediately rushed off. After that, she sat on the chair in front of her house.

Nicole works for one of the companies that produce wine, the Bronco Wines Group Company. She works in marketing. Her performance is often questioned by the company's leaders, because she is the only one who markets wine with the lowest amount than other employees. She was able to survive just because of her beauty alone.

Suddenly Nicole heard her neighbors talking about a handsome man.
