CASSIUS POV

“Alpha, the proposal got rejected again,” James announced the moment he stepped into my office.

I loosened my tie with one sharp tug, my gaze never leaving the tablet on my desk.

I already knew. The notification had come in ten minutes ago.

“It makes the third proposal this week,” he continued, placing a black folder on my desk. “What I don’t understand is why they keep rejecting every offer without negotiating or even making a counteroffer. Anyone reasonable would at least hear us

    SAVANNA POV“Attention, Grade Twelve!”The principal, Mrs. Patrick’s voice boomed through the loudspeaker, cutting through the chaos.Iris’s hand froze in my hair.I used the distraction to wrench myself free.My head smacked against the back of the locker.Pain shot through my skull, but I welcomed it.Anything was better than what Iris had planned.I slid down the locker, breathing heavily.“Bitch!” she hissed, stalking toward me.The principal’s voice echoed through the hallway again, stopping her in her tracks.“The mandatory annual recruitment for Velmora Academy begins tomorrow.”The hallway gradually quieted.“The delegates will be visiting our wonderful school in search of the next CEOs, ministers, presidents, or whatever your dream may be. Only one lucky student will be chosen, and the rest of you will have the opportunity to submit an application no later than 11:59 p.m. tomorrow.”A few excited whispers broke out around me.“I want everyone to put in their best because ever

    TRINITY POVMy heart skipped at the firmness in his voice.Did… did he somehow realize who Sam was?Cassius’s eyes swirled from their usual color to golden almost instantly.Oh, goddess, no.He had figured out my lie.He was furious. My pulse raced as though I were running a marathon, even though I could barely move.My head reeled. My knees buckled, and my legs nearly gave out beneath me.Trinity fucked her stepbrother to birth that bastard she’s parading around.How disgraceful.She should be exiled.The company should be taken from her.Kill her.Kill her!The voices of pack members filled my head, each one dripping with pure, unadulterated hatred.No one stepped forward to defend me. Absolutely no one.“Kill that bastard and feed him to the vultures!” Marisol’s voice rose above the others.“No!” I screamed, shaking my head violently. “No one can take my son away from me!”Even if I had to fight them off until my last breath, I would.“Trinity…”“I’ll kill the first person who trie

  • HIS REJECTED PLUMP MATE IS A GENIUS TECH QUEEN   Ice-cream date

    TRINITY POV “Hi. Can I get one scoop of chocolate and one vanilla, please?” The ice cream server leaned forward, staring at me through the wide-rimmed glasses he wore. “Cone or cup?” Sam tugged at my hand. I looked down at him. “Okay, buddy,” I said. “Your choice?” “Cone, Mama,” he said, excitement lacing his voice. “Two cones,” I told the server. He flashed me a warm smile. “Any toppings?” “Sprinkles!” Sam yelled. I laughed. “Sprinkles on his, please. Nothing on mine.” “Here you go.” He handed me the two cones. I let go of Sam’s hand and took them. I handed Sam his before pulling out my card to pay. The server shook his head. “It’s on the house… I mean, the kiosk,” he corrected himself. I looked around, hoping to find some sign mentioning a discount, but I didn’t see one. I hadn’t had free ice cream in a long time. The last time had been three years ago, and the bastard had only given it to me for free because he thought he could use it as an excuse to hit on me. “Don

  • HIS REJECTED PLUMP MATE IS A GENIUS TECH QUEEN   Sick

    TRINITY POV “What happened to him?” I rushed out, pushing several buttons on the elevator without looking. “You need to come,” she simply said. The call ended before I could ask anything else. My chest tightened as I stared at my phone. Maria sounded serious. The last time Sam had been gravely ill was because of an allergic reaction. His babysitter had fed him some of the peanut butter she was eating, and I had forgotten to tell her about his allergy. My stomach twisted into knots. I hadn't told Maria either. We had only been at the pack for a few days, and I hadn't exactly bonded with anyone enough to discuss something that personal. The elevator doors opened, and I rushed out. I was halfway to the entrance when I remembered that I needed to inform Beta Harold about my absence. I pulled out my phone and typed a quick message. I didn't bother checking whether it sounded professional. Right now, Sam was the only thing that mattered. I hit send and immediately cal

  • HIS REJECTED PLUMP MATE IS A GENIUS TECH QUEEN   I believe In her

    TRINITY POV“What is wrong with the server?” I asked the front desk. “I haven’t been able to do anything for the past thirty minutes.”Grace rose from her chair and checked her computer, even though the screen was blank. She clicked a few things, as though somehow she would find an answer there.“Call IT,” I said.She immediately picked up the phone.As soon as she ended the call, she looked at me, her expression grim.“The system has been down for an hour. IT hasn’t been able to restore it,” Grace said.I scoffed.An hour?How had I not noticed sooner?Because of Cassius. My mind jeered. I shoved back the thoughts, looking around the lobby.Several employees were standing around with their phones and laptops raised, as though walking around with them would somehow make a miraculous network connection appear.Two of them froze the moment they noticed me.Then the others followed.One after another, they lowered their devices and bowed. I gave them a brief nod before turning as the ele

  • HIS REJECTED PLUMP MATE IS A GENIUS TECH QUEEN   A rule is a rule

    CASSIUS POVI left Scarlett in the office.“Thank you,” I said to James as we walked down the hallway.“I know you needed that escape,” James said.I nodded, saying nothing.Hopefully, as soon as the meeting was over, she’d have left the office. But knowing Scarlett, I doubted it.James walked ahead of me and stopped in front of a door with a Do Not Disturb sign hanging on it. He unlocked it and pushed it open.I glanced up and down the hallway before stepping inside.The scent of freshly brewed coffee hit my nose immediately. I dragged in a deep breath, clearing my lungs of the fragrances I’d inhaled over the past few minutes, then slowly let it out.James crossed the room and opened the window, pushing the curtains aside to let more light into the otherwise dim room.This was my second office.It was smaller and designed to feel more like a private room than a workspace. A large abstract mural covered one wall, while the rest were painted plain white. A desk sat against the window.
