Dante: “The fucking bastard bought Mikhail’s shares, and had him as his CEO, or in other words, puppet; that means, that we are now partners with Giovanni and Mattia, while working with a puppet of the two bastards” Leonardo said, handing me the file that just arrived “and it doesn’t seem like Mikhail would withdraw on any of his shares now that he has Giovanni by his side” “The man is sick” I said, watching as Aurora sat down to look at the two of us. “Why would he be leaving everything behind to you, then choose to buy his ex partner’s shares, hiring him as a CEO instead of a shareholder? And I know Mikhail well enough to know that he has other things to tend to instead of being a CEO, and that this is not his only company” Aurora asked, making me sigh. She didn’t know that the man that I punched the other night was Giovanni, and I knew that I owed to her to at least be honest about this after everything she was honest with me on. “The man that I hit the other night was Giovanni.
Aurora:“Aurora, you know that this is the most irrational thing to be done right now” the lawyer said, looking at me. I looked at the door and shook my head at him, wanting to believe that Dante knew what he was doing; however, I would be lying if I said that I didn’t believe that he was right. Dante was risking a lot, especially with putting his own company as to ensure things, but I had no say in this, and chose to stay quiet.“It is his company, and his employees, we are to fulfill what he wants. Whether or not we see that they are right or wrong…”“You are his right hand, Aurora, and I, as his lawyer, have the right to tell him whether or not he was doing the right thing. You used to do that with Mr. Giovanni, I do not understand what is stopping you now” he said, looking me in the eye, stopping me from what I was going to say. I slammed the file shut, and glaring at the man, he shied back. I knew that he was right at this point, but I also wanted to trust that Dante knew what he
Dante: “I am at her place, boss. She has someone over, I believe that she referred to him as Tyler” “A friend of hers” I said, reading through a few papers that I had on my desk. I was at my apartment, and was currently reviewing a few things before calling it a night “when did he get to her?” “About an hour ago, I heard him talking on the phone, telling someone that he was heading to her house now as he got out of a black sports car. I followed him and stayed a few steps away until I heard them turning on a movie” “I see…” I said, frowning in confusion, remembering that Aurora told me that he worked at a café near her house “Ian, I want a picture of the car, and I want you to keep a close eye on the man when he leaves. I want to know where the man lives” “Yes, Alpha” I heard his phone click as he took a picture, and my phone vibrated as I got the picture that he sent me. “Keep me posted if you see anything off, I’ll let you know if I need anything else” I said, hanging up as I
Aurora: “Hey” I said, smiling as I entered the office. Dante, who was typing something on his laptop, smiled at me. I put his cappuccino on his desk, having got it on the way to work, and set my things down on the chair in front of his desk. He didn’t get up as he usually did, and I frowned, seeing as he looked down at his laptop again without saying a word. “Is everything alright?” I asked, wrapping my arm around myself, a habit that I had when I was nervous. “Yes, I am just caught up with some work. Thank you for the coffee by the way” he said, not looking up at me. “Dante, if you’re upset about me not calling last night…” “You don’t need to explain yourself to me, Aurora, I didn’t call either. Now, we have work to finish, please open your laptop and check your email, there are a few documents that I sent you. I want these checked and reviewed before the end of the day. We’re going to need to print them out after being done with them, then after I sign, you’ll take them to
Dante: My chest ached, and sitting on my chair, I ran my fingers through my hair, pulling on the roots as my emotions got the best of me. I laid my head on the desk for a second, and allowing a low growl to escape my chest, I fought every urge to go and follow Aurora out of the office. The way she looked at me before walking out, and the way her heart raced as her wolf whimpered, everything made this a whole lot harder on me. Leonardo’s words kept playing in my head throughout the whole month, and Aurora being around Nicolas, Tyler, or whatever that dickhead’s name didn’t make this any better. I knew that I had to keep my wolf away in case the two of us didn’t work out, but there was also the chance of her falling for the man who was treating her right while I, to protect my family and myself, had to distance myself. It was a while before my office’s door was knocked and I frowned when I saw Aurora walking inside before I even called her in. Her eyes were wide in anger, and throwin
Aurora: I laid my head on Dante’s chest as he intertwined our fingers, hugging me from behind. My back was on his chest and laying his head on my shoulder, his racing heartbeat calmed a lot after speaking his mind. The way he looked as broken as he was while speaking. The way his heart raced, and the way he seemed to be as torn as he was broke me; however, I knew not to mention anything about it, knowing that it could end up breaking his heart more than it was. Him living through a memory that he probably wanted to erase was bad enough already, and knowing that he lived it again to explain to me what he was feeling made my heart both ache, and skip a beat. “Are you okay?” He asked, breaking our comfortable silence. I turned to look at him, and smiling, Dante connected his lips with mine in a gentle kiss. One that I missed if I were going to be completely honest. The fact that I couldn’t help but miss his touch, kisses, and cradling was not something that I could hide or lie abou
Dante: I wrapped my arm around Aurora as the two of us entered the café. Aurora’s heart raced to the sound of music, and looking at her, I nodded in assurance. She smiled and shook her head at me, her eyes scanned the area, and finding who she was looking for, her eyes lightened up. The man, I assume Nicolas, or as he calls himself, Tyler, approached us. He was wearing a waiter’s outfit, and raising an eyebrow at the billionaire Alpha who was standing as a waiter. “Aurora, Dante, welcome” he said, smiling at the two of us. “A pleasure to meet you, Nicolas” I said, extending my hand at him, smirking when I saw the man’s eyes widen in surprise. Aurora looked at me and frowned in confusion, and shaking his head, trying to regain his posture, Nicolas extended a hand to me, and shook my hand. “Tyler” he said and I nodded. Aurora looked at the man for a second, studying his expression, hopefully, having noticed his nervous state; however, she didn’t say a word as I let his hand go. He
Nicolas: I watched as Aurora and Dante walked out of the café before shaking my head, letting out a low chuckle. The man was too full of himself for his own good, and unfortunately, he was too blind to see it. They both were. “Take care of things here, I’m leaving” I said, looking at the bartender who nodded. The man was my employee, and he was one of the only people who knew who I really was. I took off my apron and fixed my hair just as I was walking out of the café, and headed to my car. My phone rang just as I started the car, and answering the phone, I chuckled when I saw his caller ID. “What do you want?” I asked, my tone hardening the second I heard him breathing on the line. “I take it that the plan didn’t work” he said, cutting to the point, ignoring my question. It was typical of him to do so; therefore, I was not surprised. “No, there was a minor change in it as your son decided to show up” I said, driving toward my house. I made sure to pass by Aurora’s place to ch
