ログインRain"I have been faithful to you for two years, Boss," I whispered. "I’ve done everything you asked. I’ve moved the essence. I endangered my life.I had to drive the moon essence once myself through a storm just to deliver your batch,” I reminded him. “There is just a problem right now. It's the pack, not me."The Boss let out a short, dry laugh. He turned to one of the men standing in the shadows behind him."Can you see the audacity of this midget?" the Boss asked. He pointed at me like I was a circus animal. "Do you see this thing? Reminding me of the sacrifices he thinks he made for me?"He turned back to me, his face turning red with rage. He started vibrating with anger."Do you boys remember that we have just three weeks?" he shouted. He leaned into my face. "Three fucking weeks! In three weeks, you leave this hellhole! In three weeks, we are done here! And you decide to mess up my timeline with silly excuses!?"Silence."The coronation!" he screamed. "It’s happening in three
RainThe car tires crunched on the gravel as we pulled up to the main gate of the mansion. My heart was already thumping against my ribs like a trapped bird. Usually, the guards would stand tall, salute, and open the gate with a nod. Not today.This place was calm. Not that it always made me want to worry, but this time was different. This was the kind of calm that was almost eerie. Ringing bells of trouble."Look," River whispered. His voice was thin.I looked.And my stomach turned over. Right at the entrance, three of our best guards were slumped against the stone wall. Their necks were twisted at angles that weren't natural. Lifeless.Fuck!We drove further in, toward the inner courtyard. Four more men were sprawled across the grass. Seven dead. Just like that. No alarm. No struggle. Just silence.Boss.This was his handiwork. He had done this before. The last time he came visiting impromptu like this.He knew his face must not be seen in Dark-hearts yet, he maneuvered his way int
Debbie I stepped out of the boardroom, my heart hammering against my ribs. My wolf ears were straining, twitching at every vibration in the hallway.“We need to talk, Rain. Right now.” It was a low whisper from River, but I heard it. Not because it was audible, but because I had channeled my wolf ears towards them.As I walked out, I heard the heavy, rhythmic thud of boots. Rex, River, and Rain. They were following behind, not close, but I knew they were coming.They weren't heading for the elevators. They were taking the stairs to the roof.I slipped into the shadows, moving like a ghost. I followed.I allowed them to get there. To settle, maybe, before I moved.No, I wasn't trying to eavesdrop on them or something. But I wanted to find out. I wanted to know what they were doing with those barrels, why they were stealing from their own pack, and what exactly their aim was.Silas had been good. The plans went perfectly, and now, it was time to find the answers to my own questions.I
(2days later) Rain The boardroom was freezing. The air felt thick, like we were all underwater. I sat at the long table, my fingers tapping a nervous beat against the wood. To my left, Rex was as still as a statue. To my right, River was leaning back, pretending to be bored, but I could see his jaw muscles jumping. Black had called a meeting this morning, and according to my assistant, he said he heard rumors it was something concerning our department. Black sat at the head of the table. He looked like a king about to chop off some heads. "This meeting is about the Resources Department," Black said. His voice was like a cold blade. "I’ve been running some private investigations into our stock. Specifically, the Moon Essence." My heart did a violent somersault. My lungs felt like they had suddenly shrunk. My throat was dry as a desert instantly. What does he know? I gripped my pen so hard I heard the plastic groan. I looked at Rex. He didn't move an inch, but his eyes were dark
DebbieThe roadside cafe was loud. Music blared from a speaker near the entrance. It was the perfect place to hide. No one from the pack’s high circles would ever come here.Silas sat at a small, plastic table in the corner. He was sweating. His white shirt was damp at the collar. His hands shook so much that his spoon kept hitting the side of his bowl.I sat across from him and watched him."Eat your food, Silas," I said. My voice was calm, but it cut through the noise of the cafe. "You look like you’re about to faint."Silas jumped. He looked up at me, his eyes wide and bloodshot. "Director... I... I… am sorry to ask, but… why are we here—"I leaned forward, resting my chin on my hand. I watched a bead of sweat roll down his forehead. "I found out what you’re doing, Silas. Found out that you…” I pointed a finger at him. “have been ripping the pack.” He paused, the spoon almost falling.“Ma'am,” he called, his voice sounding like it was coming from his stomach.“That's not all, Silas
Debbie The office was quiet, but my heart was loud. I sat at my desk, looking at the list of driver names my assistant had just dropped off. As I looked at it, I had no idea what to do with these. At least for now.After this morning with Rain, we all came down to the office.Not gonna lie, last night, everything felt different. I felt a warmth in my chest I hadn't felt in years. Rain had been so vulnerable, so honest.Unlike yesterday, when Rain was in a bad shape, this morning he was better, and he was in the office.And then it was at that moment that something clicked in my head.Now that Rain was here, now that he was fine, won't it be best if I discussed these with him? Take these to him and we tackle the departmental problem together?Right, that was what I was going to do.I grabbed the file without hesitation and walked toward the elevators. I reached Rain’s floor and walked toward his big glass door. His assistant, a tall guy with a sharp suit, looked up at me."Is Rain in?
Debbie Black’s eyes were like two pieces of ice. He didn’t move from the window. He just stared at me, his chest rising and falling quickly. He looked like he was about to explode.“Where were you, Debbie?” he asked again, gritting out the words.I forced myself to stand tall. My heart was thumpin
Debbie.“What the fuck!” Rain cursed. “What sort of stupid lie is that?”"Why would he lie?" I whispered, my voice shaking with a mix of anger and shock. "He told me it was a tradition. B was for family. And even after this meeting, just before I left, he met me. He said I should not be offended wi
DebbieThe doorknob rattled violently. Black was just an inch of wood away from catching us in the act. My heart didn’t just beat; it hammered against my ribs like a drum. I looked at Rain, expecting him to panic, but he just gave me a slow, wicked wink and muttered low, “I got this.”Then, without
DebbieAfter a few more minutes of planning, the meeting was dismissed, and the room was suddenly loud with the sound of chairs scraping and people talking excitedly about whatever.I still hadn't gotten over the meaning of whatever stunt Black was playing with me.I stood up to leave after the oth
