The lights growing brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher. Laughter is easier minute by minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word. Noel stepped out of his car, putting on his jacket and he threw his keys to the chauffeur nearby.Coming to the ball really had a toll on him and like Gaby said, he will get to know about Aurora, more than what James is selling him. He flashed around a fake smile as he walked further more into the hall, his eyes checking around to see if he will see someone that he knows. This year, it seems like a lot of new members were added to the government yearly ball and he can't help but let out a hiss.He finally got an empty seat, when he sighted James. He waved his hands which James rushed to him. James was able to attend the ball because of the Pages company that now under his name to the world. Although the Pages are involved i
“You know you still haven’t told me the reason why you asked us to leave the ball early yesterday. And at the end, uncle got an award.” James pointed.Today been Saturday and also the day that James wanted to celebrate his victory for getting a ‘company’. He came to meet Aurora at the restaurant attending to some customers and when she was done, she came straight to him. “Diane was acting up.” She said, taking a sip of the coffee he had also purchased for her.“Who is Diane?” he asked. Aurora asked at how he is always forgetting the name of her wolf and if she says he is doing it intentionally, he will say she is trying to blame for forgetting things. “My wolf of course.” She whispered as she saw the cashier grinning at James.The normal James also flirted back, making the woman blush harder. “If I had known this was what you will do when you come here, then I would have never allowed that. You can leave when you are done flirting.” She uttered angrily and attempted to stand when she
He groaned, not sure of what to do. Carter is turning him mad and he has no idea of how to tackle the old man.He doesn't want to result to killing because at the end of the day, he will still get nothing achieved. Carter is a corny man, hence he tried to avoid all ways that Noel could get to him.And then, as Gaby said, killing others has to stop now until they have figured out the person under the life massacred and paints the Tribe for it.They have to figure it out faster and sooner, just for them to be able to move their business. Sometimes, Noel used to think if Carter is not behind the person but then he knows the type of person Carter is and what he can do.Killing an entire organisation is not something he can lead under his supervision. "Wait, who did you say is his assistant?" He asked Gaby, who was sitting opposite him."You remembered the man you saw at the mall, and he hugged you?" Gaby uttered and he recalled.Indeed, he could remember the day that he had gone to the m
They parted ways with Andrew after they had spent more than an hour talking. More like him doing the talking and forcing her to talk when necessary. With Andrew, she found her happiness since he is her mate but she wasn't sure of how to approach him. He is a human, so how will she approach him with the talk that he is her mate?He would definitely think of her as insane girl because that is what she will seem to him when she tells him. "How about we let James helps us with him?" Diane, her wolf suggested.For Aurora, it is not really a bad idea and she can go on with it. But seeing James after how he had rushed out of the restaurant earlier will be hard. "Whenever I see him next." She uttered absentmindedly."When will you see him next, Aurora?" Diane asked.Aurora heaved a sigh. Although James is her cousin, and more like her best friend, she doesn't want to be disturbing and distracting him now.He seemed really serious about the new business that he had started and as he had told
"What do you mean by I am her mate?" Noel asked James surprised.James nodded his head, affirming to him. "That was actually the reason why she had ran away from you during the ball. Her wolf was acting up." James revealed.No word left Noel's mouth as he was surprised to hear that he is his enemy's mate. While Gaby laughed out, wondering how everything will unfold. "This is really getting interesting." Gaby mumbled, popping a gum into his mouth."But, there is a little hope. She doesn’t know that you are Noel, the one she is after." James said again, earning a glare from Noel.He palmed his face, trying to understand how to deal with the matter at hand. Because at first, he had started to flirt with her because he thought she was cute, getting associated with the person she is after and had no clue.But now that he heard that particular side of the story from James, he isn't sure if he can go on with the game. Everything about flirting with her doesn't seems okay to him again. "Then,
Printing out her lecture notes, she slipped it into her bag and left. The lectures for the day has ended and then, she was asked to get her lectures notes for the next class, which she just did.Aurora walked out of the department, smiling. For the weeks she has spent attending the university, she learnt that it was meant for only those that are under art.There is a different site for those under sciences and as she heard, it was the best. She had wanted to go and see it for her eyes, but then, she doesn't even have the time. "Hey Aurora." Her new friend called, sliding her arms around Aurora.She turned to meet Isla smiling at her. Aurora met Isla through a class they shared, although Isla is in second year. "Hi, are you also done with class?" Aurora asked.She had seemed to be close to Isla, after learning that they do share a lot in common. Among all the humans in the class or those that come to share a class with them, Isla stood out.She made sure that she helped Aurora out and
Ever since the day Noel got the message that Russell, Aurora’s father will be coming to Atlanta, he was indeed happy. For years, Russell had stayed hidden to the world and now, he is finally ready to breach that, just so he could see his daughter.Although, Gaby had advised Noel not to show his face to Russell yet because that will bring back the war and since, Noel has the intention of taming Aurora first, it is best if he waits for the right time. Noel had no choice than to call in a human that he had trusted, maybe a bit.Noel explained everything about the deal and all he was to do was represent him when Russell comes. He is to tell Russell that Noel had travelled out of the country and might stay for a very long time. From what James told him, Russell was actually coming to Atlanta, just so he could strike another deal with him.And he doesn’t mind, because most of the times, the project benefits him more than anything. He is always the winner at the end of the day. “After you me
Aurora.The key jingled as I hurriedly left the restaurant. When father had told me he will be coming to Atlanta, he didn't really tell me the exact date and I didn't bother to ask him.Because I had thought that he would reach until a week after or maybe two weeks after. Only for James to call me now, telling me that he had just picked him from the border where some of his guards dropped.I couldn't just let him find out that I worked after school. It will surely make him angry and a lot will happen. The manager of the restaurant didn't agree to me leaving work until father is gone.He said that everything is happening on a short notice and hence he couldn't get someone to replace me that short. "I am sorry but you have to stay." He had said to me.Then gave me one option, to either get someone to stand in for me or continue working. That was when I thought of Isla and her promise to help me when I needed her help.When I called her, telling her about it, she instantly yes and drove
