Chapter: Chapter 184Alex’s povThe next day, I called a board meeting, and this time I invited the press. The moment they arrived, I stood before them as the clamoring died down and they all turned to me.I looked at the crowd there… from my mother and my father to the rest of the board members, which included Paul this time, as he had decided to stop running and try to clear his name. He was working with the police through their questioning. I then smiled at everybody, then looked at Dennis, who was by my side.“I invited you all here today to talk about the challenges that I have faced being a stand-in CEO. I know a lot of rumors passed by, and I’m so glad that all of you finally got the idea of who caused the chaos. It was Lydia and it was Sophia, and it was a couple of people that I won’t mention their names, but Lydia and Sophia played the entire stuff.“Lydia’s lies… they have been fully exposed. And Sophia’s manipulation… now these two joined together to disgrace me and Dennis, but then it only

Chapter: Chapter 183Alex’s povTo hear all of that from him broke me as I scoffed.“Dennis, are you being serious right now?”“Look, if you want us to still be together in this fake marriage of a thing, we can. I definitely understand you want to fulfill your quota anyway, so there’s no need to bother about it. I will stay. I will be your man. I would do nothing more but appear occasionally at galas that you want me to appear at. But I’m just here to pack my things and leave. It’s very clear you’ve gotten what you wanted. You can keep the money that you want to pay me. I don’t need it anymore. Thank you so much for healing my mom. She’s getting better by the way.“I know that you are the stand-in CEO and your father has made an irrevocable right to make you a CEO immediately he retires from the company. It’s a win-win. You get to have what you want and I’ve gotten what I wanted.”I chuckled. I could feel my heart racing.“Is this a joke, Dennis? You show up after more than a month of being away and you s

Chapter: Chapter 182Alex’s povThe days that passed were a mixture of board meetings, where the board had apologized to me, and the arrest of Lydia and Sophia. But of course, they found their way to escape under duplicitous means, which I was very sure was funded by Paul, who was also on the run like the both of them. But it was only a matter of time before the police would find them again.For the meantime, I spent my time enjoying my new seat at the board meeting as a trusted CEO stand-in. I arranged a few parties that would happen in the coming months, and in all this time, I didn’t hear a peep from Dennis. Little by little, I started to spiral. It was almost like I was heading back into my old ways of drinking… and I would love to say womanizing… but no woman was catching my eyes, neither were the men. The only person I needed was Dennis.After I was done with the fifth board meeting for that month, I got up and was about to leave before my father called me to talk to me. He walked to the edge of t

Chapter: Chapter 181Paul’s povI stayed in the boardroom until the entire fire had died down. The board members there started to talk about how they were sorry to Alex for blaming him for the destruction of the company. I found that I was alone.I had no allies now. The funny thing was I was too powerless to go against all of them.I was weak. I hated being weak. But in this moment, there was nothing else I could do.When they were all done talking about their entire problems, they all adjourned the meeting as I still sat in my seat. Everybody left, leaving Lyon and I in the boardroom.He smiled and leaned forward as I got to my feet to go.“Sit,” he said with a stern voice as I gulped.“I have to go.”“I said… sit,” this time it had a growl in it.He was mad. I took in deep breaths and then fell back in my seat.“What is it, Lyon?” I asked. “You have everything you want. Your son has said all the lies he could say.”“Lies?” He chuckled. “How could you?”“I have no idea what my daughter is planning and I

Chapter: Chapter 180Alex’s povI dressed in front of the mirror, making sure that I was wearing my most expensive suit. A knock came on my door as I turned to it, expecting Dennis to enter, but it was my mom who got in. She had my tie in her hands.“I thought I’d get this for you,” she smiled. “It’s your lucky tie.”I chuckled. “I’m not five, mom, but thank you. I really did miss that tie.”She helped me put it on as I stayed in front of her, towering over her. She then looked at my leg. “It’s been almost a week. How are you feeling?”“I don’t know. A bit mad at myself for what I’ve done in the past. I still kind of feel mad at Dennis for leaving without him calling or answering my messages. I don’t know what his problem is.”“What do you mean?” She tilted her head to the side after fixing my tie, and she stepped back.“One minute we’re running for our lives together, holding hands, and the next minute he’s gone in the wind. He doesn’t return my calls. He doesn’t answer my messages. He’s just gone.”“Hav

Chapter: chapter 64Eliara’s povI thought about it, then shook my head. “You don’t need to listen to me. That’s just me rambling.”“No I want to hear it. I thought the Alpha was your mate.”“He is my second chance mate.” Her eyes widened. “So it is true. The rumors are true. It is possible for one person to have two different mates, which means I can have my second chance out there that I can be with.”But I shook my head. “It’s not as easy as that. You need to be rejected by your first chance mate, and the pain needs to be so severe that at some point you’d want die. It will be like the moon goddess is having pity on you and deciding to end your suffering by giving you someone else to rely on.”“So what do I do? How do I get my second chance mate? Do I force him to reject me in a humiliating way so I can be free?”“I can’t tell you. I don’t even know how I got mine but Jeff is here. Try to talk to him and try to hash things out. I am sure something will work out. I believe that both of you can make t

Chapter: chapter 63Jeff’s pov“I told you countless times beta Jeff you cannot break the mate bond that you have with your mate. It is there for a reason, it cannot be broken and forcefully breaking it would lead to madness of either party. Please, I employ you to forget this and move on with your life. She's your mate for a reason. Do not think of breaking this.” I growled and got to my feet, pacing around impatiently, then I turned to her. “Do you know what it feels like to be with someone you don’t want to be with? It’s different when you actually like the person and you’ve always seen the person in a sexual manner and that is a person you want to protect for the rest of your life, but do you know what it feels like to wake up every morning and know that your freedom has been taken away from you? That you can no longer live your old life that you used to live? It means that I am in prison in a life that I do not want to live. I do not feel like being with someone who I do not see as my mate, yet yo

Chapter: Chapter 62Jeff’s pov“What do you want us to talk about?” I asked her, trying to act busy as I walked around the gym arranging some of the barbells and dumbbells in their rightful places.“Last night, you didn’t even want to see me. You didn’t even want to touch me.”“It’s because I was tired from having dinner.”She chuckled, “having dinner? Jeff is that the best excuse you can come up with? Having dinner?”I sighed, then got to my full height before turning to her, dropping the dumbbell in my hands onto the floor, which clanked all over the place.“So what do you want from me? I’ve told you that we made a terrible mistake by being mates. We made a very terrible mistake by touching each other and having each other’s scents and doing whatever we did in that time, it’s something that I would not want to repeat again and I’m asking you to forget whatever relationship that we used to have…”“Which is what?!” she blurted. “I can’t have any relationship with anybody except you. You made sure of that

Chapter: Chapter 61Eliara’s povWe were done as we laid on the grass, staring at the clouds that passed by.It was serene, except for the sounds of nature all around us.“Anything on your mind?” He asked, but all I could do was shake my head.“When I said I wanted to explore your pack and see the rest of your pack, this was not what I meant.”He chuckled, “I’m sorry. We are going through your training phase. Soon we will be done then you can go ahead and explore whatever part you want to.”We stayed silent for a while before he turned to look at me.“What are you thinking about now?”“Helga and Jeff. Do you know what they’re doing right now?”“Probably evading each other.”“You shouldn’t have told me not to tell her anything.”“I didn’t want her to worry. Let them sort it out themselves.”“But I’m scared. What if they don’t sort it out themselves, what if things get worse than how it is right now.”He chuckled. “How can things get worse than it is already?

Chapter: Chapter 60Eliara’s pov“Are you kidding me?” I gasped. “Who has the strength for all this? I’m only here because you called me here. All of this is not really something I can do so why would you want me doing them? You still haven’t told me what you’re preparing me for.”I closed the distance between us, his breath hitting my face with his eyes intensely eating me up.“Do you trust me?”His calm tone had my wolf whimpering.Who was I to say no? He could use me however he wanted and I would still fall for him because he was that important to me.“Yes,” I nodded like a child about to be given a trophy.“Then follow me.”He didn’t wait as he turned and ran off with me flailing my arms in frustration. Was he being serious right now?I ran after him, trying my best to keep up.Due to how big he was, two of his steps were four of mine. No matter how much I tried to catch up to him, it was a waste.He was that fast.He weaved through trees and bobbed through the underbrush like they were nothing while

Chapter: Chapter 59Eric’s povI sat down at the dining table with Eliara by my side while Jeff and Helga sat at opposite sides of the table eating in silence.Ever since Eliara had told me to invite more people to be eating with us, I saw it fit to invite the two of them just for them to act like strangers and eat while acting like lovesick puppies.I kept stealing glances at Eliara to see her confused at how they were acting.“So,” I cleared my throat. “How is the meal?”No one said anything.“Jeff… are you okay?” I asked as he looked up at me. His eyes looked puffy and red like he had not slept throughout the night.“I’m okay.”I looked at Helga. She looked miserable.“Helga, darling. Are you good?”“Never better my alpha.”Her voice was chirpy but I knew something was wrong with them.Jeff didn’t eat well as he got up and excused himself from the table.Helga soon followed suit while we stared at the barely touched food.“What’s with them?” Eliara asked.“It’s the mate bond,” I said as she looked at

No appointments. No entry. Yet even so, my chest tightened at the mere idea of seeing him.Gabrielle was still muttering to herself.“Good… I’ve left town. Just leave me alone and stop stalking me,” she hissed, before switching off her phone.I needed no one to tell me they were both having issues.And for some strange reason I didn’t understand, it excited me… more than it should have.Gabrielle shot up from her seat.“I’ll take my money elsewhere,” she snapped. “I’m very sure there are people better than you.

His hands tried to pull me back toward the chair, his eyes dark with desire.“We’re not done,” he growled, low and urgent. “Neither of us has…cummed yet.”I pried his hand off me, still breathing hard, and straightened up.“I need to prepare for the meeting,” I said, my voice firm.Walter’s dark eyes searched mine, frustrated. “Ten minutes, then. I’ll be quick. I’m still fucking hard.”I shook my head, starting to pull on my clothes. “Leave me alone.”He blinked, taken aback by my sudden shift.“Why the change?” he asked, his tone bo
