Chapter 17: Iota or Mu

I expected Kenneth, or what was his name now?—Michael, Michael Wolfie—would bang on the door, but nothing so far. I exhaled and threw myself on the bed. It was an exhausting day. Meeting with Constantine’s father was difficult. I knew he wouldn’t allow Constantine and me to be together. But it was a mild reaction. Did I still have a chance?

I might be asleep for a few minutes. However, when the door opened, I sat immediately, worrying it might be Michael who barged in. It was dark already. Maybe it was night now. But as my eyes spotted my lover at the door, I smiled. “Hey, handsome.”

Constantine grinned, threw himself on the bed, and grabbed my waist. Later, he kissed my lips. “Hey, beautiful. Miss me already?”

“Not at all! I was asleep.”

“Really?” He frowned. “Maybe you should go back to your room then.”

I circled my hands to his neck. “Cranky.” Then I peppered kisses on his jaw and neck. “Rough day?”

“Well, yes and no. Do you want to hear the good or bad news first?”

“Bad news first.”

Constantine blew his breath. “My father still didn’t approve of you. He wanted you to be Iota or Mu.”

“Iota or Mu?”

“Yeah, Iota is a medical staff while Mu is a maid or housekeeper. So, Iota is the lowest rank in the higher rank category. While Mu is the highest rank in the middle-rank category.”

I shook my head. “Though I want to be an Iota, I’m sure it won’t be easy. I can try to be a Mu.”

He stroked his back neck, then laid his back on the headboard. “Hmm, let me think first. Maybe it would be good if you become my father’s maid under Evelyn. But I can’t protect you there as you will be in my father’s direct order.”

“It’s okay. As long as it gives me a chance to get your father’s approval.” I let out a long sigh. “Besides, being an Omega, the lowest rank in the lowest rank category, I know I’m incompatible with you.” I snuggled my head on Constantine’s chest. “You will be the next Alpha, while I’m just an Omega. The difference between us is like the sky and ground.”

“Victoria ….” He lifted my chin with a hand. “No matter what, you are my mate. I won’t give up on you. No matter what my father says, I will fight for you.”

“Thank you.” I rewarded him with a lingering kiss on the lips. “I don’t want to give up either. We have been through many things, even the second life to be together.”

Constantine nodded and snapped his fingers. “I got an idea! You can be my housekeeper. So, you can be a Mu and stay with me.”

I nodded and smiled at him. “It’s a perfect solution. As your housekeeper, I no longer need to be your mistress.”

“I think that being my mistress is necessary. Otherwise, how can I explain the change to my father?”

I shrugged. “You can say to your father, I was your mistress, but currently, I’m your housekeeper.”

He shook his head. “He won’t believe me. But then, was it so bad being my mistress?” He tilted his head to the side. “You seem don’t want to be one anymore.”

How to explain it to Constantine? I chose that way since there was no other way in the past. Now, it was different. We were living in solitude in the past, so being his mistress was the only reliable way to bind him to me. It was the opposite now. We were living in a pack. Even without my being his mistress, we could still be together. Besides, as his housekeeper, I could always stay with him. It was a perfect solution!

“Victoria?”

“I don’t hate being your mistress. However, your father may look down on me if I stay as your mistress. I want him to respect me as your future mate.”

“Wrong.”

I furrowed my forehead. “What do you mean?” Did I misread Constantine’s intention toward me?

He might read my gesture as he immediately pulled me and stroked my back. “Silly girl. You know that you’re the only one for me. But no matter if you become my mistress or not, my father has never looked down on you.”

“Oh? How do you know?”

“I’m his son. For sure, I know him.” He was quiet for a while, then grinning again. “Ah, there’s another thing.”

“Hmm? The good news?”

“Yes. My father wants us to give him a grandpup soon. He expected you to have a pup already in your womb.”

I blushed to hear that. It was my biggest dream to have children with him. “So, does it mean your father will accept me?”

“I think so. If you have our pup, then my father will accept you. Maybe two or three pups are better”

I giggled and punched Constantine’s chest lightly. Then I sighed again as I laid my head on the joint between his neck and shoulder. “I’m happy if it’ll work out like that. I thought your father would reject me completely.” Constantine stroked my hair, still saying nothing until I kissed his neck. “Love?” I asked him while touching his neck.

“Hmm?”

“Say something.”

“Something,” he said.

We burst out laughing at how silly he was. I hugged his neck tightly. He was my man, and I wouldn’t let him go. No matter how high the price I should pay, I wanted to be with him.

“Darling, now it’s your turn to say nothing.”

“I’m just thinking.” I sighed.

“About?”

“Everything. About us, the past, and the present too. We have been through a lot together. I hope we will be together in the future.”

Constantine kissed my lips slowly. “We will, darling. I won’t let you go.” Then he pulled me into his embrace and whispered in my ear, “As he said, my father truly wanted to play with his grandpup. So, we need to hurry and make his dream come true, don’t you think so?”

“I have no objection.” But my face was hot as I knew what it meant.

Constantine then pushed me slowly until I lay on my back again. “Then, I’ll try every day to make my father happy in a way I know well that can make me happy too.” He chuckled. “I hope it makes you happy at the same time.”

I pulled his neck and gave him a fierce kiss on his lips. “You talked too much. Let’s do it!”
