Chapter 178 - I’ll Help You Out

At Raine's Private Residence, Country V

As with their usual routine, both Lyne and Levi went out early in the morning to report to the Yue Group office, leaving Boris and Mia behind the headquarters. 

"So, Tyrone's coming back. The poor guy…" Boris murmured. He was currently sitting beside Mia in the control room.

"Do you know what's going on? It's honestly weird for the Boss to kick Tyrone out. I mean, she's obviously very interested in him, so why would she kick him out after Xander's case is over?" Mia conspiratorially questioned. "I honestly don't understand. Tyrone's reliable and very competitive. I also think he's trustworthy enough to keep working with us." 

Boris only sighed, keeping his mouth shut as Lyne had instructed. Raine didn't want to tell the others about the real matter regarding the man. Lyne was just lucky enough to know the truth through him by accident.

"Hmm, I just follow instructions from the Bloody-Eyed Hunter, but I'm sure she has her reasons in her decisions," Boris vaguely commented.

"That's true…" Mia sagely nodded. "I mean, I trust Boss, but the curiosity's still killing me."

A sudden silence ensued as Mia returned to checking some of the videos on her monitor screen. Boris, meanwhile, sneaking glances at her, wondered on how he could ask Mia for some help and tips on his current mate problem.

"Stop that, Boris," Mia muttered with a sigh. "Can you just directly ask me what you want?" 

The large man scratched his head and mumbled with a timid smile, "It's about Lyne…"

Mia let out a sigh, turning to him as she shook her head.

"It'll be tough for you since you're a werewolf, but just show her how sincere you are and I'm sure she'll open up to you eventually. Lyne is the reserved type of woman. Honestly, she's a late bloomer, I think," Mia commented with a shrug. She had never seen or heard Lyne being interested in any man before. The woman didn't even know how to vocally appreciate handsome guys like her whenever they watched movies. It was always Mia that ended up commenting on male leads.

"It's hard for me. It's my first time encountering something like this…." Boris whispered out. 

Mia sighed, sensing Boris's frustrations in his voice. "Hmm, at least you're willing to adapt and adjust for Lyne, and that's a good start. Just give her a very generous amount of extra patience, and maybe try to slow things down," she advised.

Boris's shoulders dropped as he let out a loud sigh, "That's what Aire said too."

Mia chuckled, "Why not try courting Lyne first? Like going out on dates? But then I guess that would be impossible with how busy Lyne is." She put a hand on her chin as she tried to come up with ideas, "How about trying cooking for her more? I think that'll suffice. I'll help you out and pull Levi out of the picture in case he's being a hindrance."

The kitchen was practically Levi's territory whenever he wasn't in the control room. Mia held a crooked smile, already thinking on how the situation would benefit her without being too obvious. To be honest, after her last encounter with Levi and their incomplete conversation, things had become even more awkward between them. If she played her hand right, she could use this opportunity to make Levi interact with her again.

"Also, grab that pen and paper. I will tell you all the things that Lyne likes and dislikes…" Mia instructed with Boris quickly following.

She shook her head as Boris jotted down everything that she was saying. It was honestly looking pretty obsessive when she thought about it. "Wow, I never imagined that a werewolf like you can be this desperate to win a mate's heart over."

Boris scratched his head and mumbled, "I didn't imagine myself like this too. To be honest, I'd prefer the easy route of kidnapping Lyne and imprisoning her after the mission. It's something werewolves usually do; abducting their human mates and forcing them to love them, that is…"

"And you will regret that for the rest of your life if you do it. You won't achieve happiness like that. And on top of that, it's not a human thing to do," Mia sagely chided. "I understand that werewolves are different, but humans can't just roll over and accept that. Won't you like a happy relationship together with your human mate? If you ended up with abduction like other werewolves, then that human mate would only see you as nothing but an animal and a monster…" 

She shook her head as she continued, "By doing things by force and against her will, you will both end up miserable in the end. That human will resent you, and might end up killing you and stabbing you in the back."

Boris deeply sighed, "That's why I'm asking for help. I really don't know what to do. If I follow my wolf's instinct, I'll just end up abducting Lyne. But a part of me doesn't want that. I honestly want to have a good relationship with my mate… I've long awaited for her, and I want to make it work since she's a human."

Mia smiled, "And don't worry. I'll help you out as best as I can, okay? I can sense that you're really sincere about it, so I'll teach you about the ways of humanity too if you like…"

Boris's eyes lit up, "Oh! Thank you so much, Mia. I'll surely repay you for this."

"It's nothing really. I just hope that you succeed and Lyne can achieve true happiness in the process, despite everything…" Mia genuinely hoped.

"By the way, there will be a barrier around the Moon Clan Territory, right? Will that mean that I'll be banned from entering too?" Boris asked as he recalled.

Mia let out a loud sigh, "Yeah. You see, King Marcus is about to wake up, and he's still technically the ruler… He's hell-bent on wiping out mutants here on earth, so the barrier is for your own safety as well, including Aire and Tyrone so that none of you will try to enter." 

She smacked her lips before shaking her head. "Anyway, you have a safe house, right? You'll be safe going out with Lyne so long as you keep your human form. Boss will surely exempt you from the hunt. She'll protect Aire, Tyrone, and you from King Marcus, so you don't need to worry too much."

That was the plan. The Boss wanted their Clan to have peace with good mutants as well so she would try to convince her father, king Marcus to consider it once he woke up. It could be tough, though since King Marcus seemed to have this deep grudge against mutants.

On the other hand, Boris had no other response but to nod at Mia, but there was something else that was bothering him. It was the Convel Society... He wondered if Raine could really bring it down… Also, it wasn't like he was against everyone in the society.. It was mostly all on Danos and all his minions that helped the former on framing him.
