ANNALISE…
He then kisses me again before letting his hand slip from my cheek and then turning his attention back to the males around the table. I get to my feet, not looking forward to when he comes into my room later and walks over to the door.
I turn back just to look over the room and at Randall; he is still very handsome, and I was overjoyed when I found out he was my mate but as I watch Charmine get out of her seat at the other end of the table, walk down the length of the room and then climb onto Randall’s lap. I feel as if I was cheated out of something. I then watch until she starts kissing and nibbling at his neck and I don’t miss his low growl of approval. I know that it shouldn’t matter anymore, but it still hurts.
As I walk away I wipe the tear that escapes and slides down my cheek. When I get back to my room, I enter and close the door behind me, I don’t know why I bothered but I lock the door. I then

ANNALISE…With tears in my eyes, knowing that Randall knows me too well, I look at her and whisper,“I have no choice, Thalia. He will have them hurt you.”As soon as I am close enough, Randall reaches out again, grabbing my arm. As a reflex, I struggle a little against him and he pulls me to a stop before he slaps me hard. I slide my hand on my cheek and look up at him as he says,“You are mine, Annalise. There is nowhere you can go where I will not find you. There is no escape for you from me…”He then pulls me over to the SUV and, as he pushes me inside, he looks over his shoulder and says,“Virion, grab her duffle and then meet us back at the pack.”I look over his shoulder at the same time and watch as Virion hesitates and I see the conflict in his eyes from what he just witnessed, but it is only there for a moment before he says,“Yes, Alpha…”Randall then gets into the SUV, pushing me further inside and closing the door behind him. I move as far away from him as I can, but as s

NICOLAS…Again another walked over and this one seemed a little angry as she said,“You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Annalise was nothing but kind to everyone here and pulled nearly all of you out of a tight spot of trouble over the time she has been here... Especially you Alex, if it wasn't for Annalise you would have lost your job and this is how you repay her?…”“Do you know what happened, Thalia?”“Of course, she knows she is practically joint to her hip…”“I know, but it is not my place to say…”She then walks away with one of the employees following her, still asking questions. I want to ask a few of my own but now isn’t really the right time. I still feel like I am missing something, something very important. I link with Randolf,“Have you gotten that information for me yet?” “Sorry Alpha, getting into the Lupin Nightstalker pack is proving extremely hard, especially without a notable cause.” “Keep trying. I may have to bring the King into this one.” “What is it? Alp

NICOLAS…He nods, I crouch down next to her and whisper,“Thalia, why weren’t you both in the building?”She looks over at me and frowns before she says, sounding like I should know why.“Anna no longer has access to the building. Only people with ID access cards may enter and go up to the offices without official booked in business. She no longer has one since Mr MarLaren fired her…”“What?… Fired her? Why?”“He told her some bullshit about a meeting with you and that you had said that the office needed to cut costs and she was to be let go… Mr Nightmoon, why did you ask for her to be fired? I saw you that day. She meant something to you… But I guess I was wrong as you told him to fire her. Was what she is that much of a threat to you… To everyone?”“I never wanted… I told Barnald to promote Annalise not fire

RANDALL… I wait for her to sit down before I then ask, “What do you know of mates?” “Just what we are taught, they are the other half of us, that they complete us.” “Okay, have you ever heard of someone having two or more mates?” “It can happen. There have been varied reports of werewolves having more than one mate. Usually, it is the female who has two or more male mates as she needs the protection.” “Okay, now how can a wolf have two mates and yet lay claim and refuse to release a third?” “You’re talking about you and the Luna, aren’t you?” “Yes, Hugo and I now have Charmine and Candace and, as you know, they are both already pregnant. However, Hugo will not let Annalise go. Annalise tried to reject us today, and I felt the mate bond between us waver and try to sever, but he wouldn’t allow it. Why? What makes her different? What makes me?” Amity seems to have a fight within herself before sighing and saying, “Are you sure?" "Sure about what?" "Are you sure you want to k

ANNALISE… I know I haven’t been in here for very long, but it feels like a lifetime. I have never been separated from Misty or the pack for even just a small amount of time. I wipe the tears that are still running down my cheek and make myself as well as Misty, a promise that I will never do anything to make him place us in this dark box again.I don’t move as I hear the pressure locks sound and then the wall in front of me moves. I don’t move or look up until I feel his hand on my cheek. I look up and into his eyes, which are gold and red and know that Hugo is in control and whisper,“I’m sorry… Please…”“Shh, come here.”He moves his hand just a little on my cheek, letting me know to move as he does. As he gets to his feet, I get to mine. I look up at him once he is standing at his full height. He whispers,“I love you, Lise. I always have. You are mine, stay with me…”After what happened today, I now know that I have no choice and that I am never getting away from him. With anothe

ANNALISE…I ignore her and walk back over to the black dry-cleaner bag and smile as I reach into the bottom and pull out matching red heels. I slip them on and then walk over to where Charmine is still standing at the door. As soon as I am next to her, she steps aside and growls,“Randall says to be on your best behaviour or you know what will happen.”I nod and walk with her down the hall, down the stairs and out the back. I place a small smile on my face and make my way over to the stage where Randall is already standing and making one of his many speeches for the night. However, as soon as he sees us, he stops talking and just stares. I glance over at Charmine and see the big smile spread over her face at his reaction.However, this makes me feel a little guilty and a little smug as I know that look and that stare is not for Charmine but for me, it is the same look he has given me every time we have been out on a date and he has seen me in my dress for the night for the first time

NICOLAS… After seeing Alpha Bridger and Thalia to his car, I told Thalia to take the rest of the week off, allowing her to recover at least maybe a little before returning to work. I then head back into the office. I am fuming, and so is Raoul. He wants blood, but since this situation was made worse by a human, he couldn’t have the blood he wanted.Raoul wants to stop at MacLaren’s level and face him right this minute and I couldn’t agree more with him, I would love to beat him to a pulp and then rip his head off and if I didn’t have the strict control over myself and him, then Barnald MacLaren wouldn’t have a chance.Then there is also the fact that there would be too many witnesses at this time of day, and then there is the fact that it would be extremely messy and take a lot of time and effort that I don’t have to clean it up. Then probably the most annoying and the most undesirable is that I couldn’t be bothered with the murder or missing human person investigation that would fol

NICOLAS…Randolf gets to his feet and walks over to the door, opens it and sticks his head out, says something to Mel. Mel then passes him a folder. He then thanks her, closes the door and then returns to his seat. Once seated, he then opens the file and continues,“He was good when he was first hired and he moved up in position very quickly. However, his work was starting to slack off around 10 years ago and then 5 years ago we started receiving small complaints about him not doing his job properly, losing money for clients, misrepresenting other clients and stating false statements as facts…”“Let me guess, he had then suddenly and miraculously turned back into his brilliant self around 3 years ago, right?”He looks and scans the file in front of him and then says,“Yes, that’s right. How did you know that?”“Because it was 6 months after Annalise started workin
