RELUCTANTLY

Raven let out a deep breath as he looked up at the sky. Then he focused his gaze on the large mansion built in front of him. The said mansion is located one kilometer away from the resort owned by the Vaughns.

As long as he has been living in the world and in this very place, he has just set foot on the land owned by one of the most well-known and admired businessmen in the country. Although hesitating, Raven could do nothing but accept the offer of help from his friend John Alvarez.

"It's been a month since your father went to jail. And next month, school will starts again. It's a shame if you stop for a year. Why don't you try to find a part time job?" He remembered what John said.

John is 25 years old. Beta, like Raven. And since they grew up almost at the same time, John finished school earlier because his parents supported him. Unlike him, he became the breed winner of the family when his father died. Then what his step father did to him happened.

John works at the Sunrise hotel and beach resort as Housekeeping department supervisor. And since the two of them are friends, John also helped him to temporarily move on from what happened.

"I don't see any jobs that accept working students. You know that visitors here in Coron are more on foreigners." Raven replied to his friend while sipping the hot coffee.

John had a day off that day, so they had time to talk for a long time. The young man can only come home at night when he has work. And at that time, Raven was already asleep.

"Hmm, why don't you try to apply at my boss's house? I heard that he is looking for a Beta who can take care of his three-year-old son. Well, it's only for the time being until the class starts.

"Boss?" Raven put the coffees cup down. "You mean your boss who is actually the dominant Alpha of this small municipality?" Raven asked with a serious frown.

In response, John made a nod. "I know, you don't like Alpha because of what happened to you. But you know that not all Alphas are the same. And another thing, you don't always get to see Mr. Vaughn. He's always in his office at resort."

"I know that. But you probably also know that when the child is to take care of, parents are more looking for a woman to take care of their children. So, I can't be there."

"You have a point. It's just that, maybe you don't know, Mr. Vaughn doesn't want a woman to get close to him. Even the working women at the resort avoids him. So, why don't you gamble?" John answered before taking a bite of the Buko pie he was holding.

Back to reality,

Raven let out another deep breath before glancing at the doorbell on his right side. He really didn't want to go, but he really needed a part time job. He is ashamed of John because he was the one who spends for what he eats every day.

"Maybe it's not a bad thing to try?" He whispered to himself as he waited for the gate to open after ringing the bell.

He secretly flinched when he heard the sound of the gate opening. He almost recoiled when he saw the black bathrobe worn by the man who opened the gate. His gaze crawled upwards and he saw the man's chest partially on display. He has tan skin but actually not that dark.

"Who are you?"

Raven blinked when he heard the cold voice of the man who spoke. He automatically looked him directly in the eyes even though he was two feet tall than Raven.

Green eyes, long lashes, thick eyebrows, perfect shaped nose, slightly pouty lips and sharp jaw lines. He was undeniably an Alpha. His black hair resembles the darkness during the new moon.

"I ask who are you?" Again, the man with a slightly wrinkled forehead asked.

His sharp eyes were like arrows aimed at Raven. That if he doesn't answer, he'll be shot.

"R-Raven Salvador, sir. 19 years old. I- I actually here to-" Raven stuttered as the nervousness in his chest began to rise.

Who wouldn't be nervous if you are in front of a famous person, not only in Coron Palawan but also in the whole country. As far as Raven knows, the man is also known in other countries, especially in the United Kingdom. It's a good thing he's not a Royalty member, if he does, Raven might have passed out.

"To what?" It was obvious that the man's voice was mixed with annoyance when he spoke again.

"S-someone said that you are looking for a baby sitter for your son. And I-I'm honestly looking for a part time job. Don't worry sir, I'm not-"

"No. I'm not hiring." Without warning, the man closed the gate and Raven was left to swallow.

Clenching his fist and biting his lip, he closed his eyes tightly. This arrogant Alpha bastard! Just because he's rich, he dared close the gate without letting me explain? No manners!

"What a fucking heartless Rich Alpha bastard! If I didn't need money for the upcoming enrollment, I won't ever take a step in front of your ugly house!" Raven snarled before turning around.

"Who's the bastard you were talking about?"

He think his soul separated from his earthly body when the gate suddenly opened again and spat out the man who had no manners.

He turned around violently, his mouth agape as he turned pale. He even felt his neck cracking, ain't sure if he needs to have an x-ray later.

"T-that.."

"You need a part time job, you said? Come in." The man said before opening the gate.

Not only does he have no manners, his brain is also not working properly. He said a while ago, he's not hiring. So, what the hell is he talking about now?

Raven didn't move and remained standing. Actually he really can't move because of he's afraid he dislocated his neck.

"You'll have a stiff neck if you don't move. And please hurry up, I still have an emergency meeting to go to. Please lock the gate and follow me."

Raven swallowed again before looking in his left and right. Fortunately his neck is still in its right alignment. Seeing no one, he reluctantly entered the gate and closed it according to the owner's order.

"Come in, I can't tell you exactly what you should do. But I will call my secretary to brief you. Hand me your ID, and wait until my son wakes up."

The man stretched out his hand to get his ID which he quickly took out of his wallet. And even though there were many questions, Raven remained speechless as he simply looked inside the palace-like house.

"Right, you'll be staying in the room near my son's room, and don't forget everything Edward tells you. Lastly, don't ever bring an Omega in my house, not even their smell." The man gave him a cold look before he started dialing in his cellphone he was holding.

"Excuse me sir, I'm hired? Without knowing my background information?" Raven asked innocently while tilting his head to the right.

How in the world that there is someone who can immediately hired an applicant without checking his background? Is he a shaman who can read minds? An automatic robot, perhaps?
