38I just had to apologize to the woman and it was good she gave us a month to fix the problem. She was kind enough. I couldn't hold this in anymore. I need to call the elders and report him before I know the next action to take. But I need to solve the problem on the ground first before I have anything to say. I faced the manager in charge of the department who followed Marcus's orders to shut down till I found a solution to it. When I am back from school, I will surely meet with Elder Blake. I need them to say something. "Please ma'am, I am begging you. I can't shut it down.""Oh! So you know that you can't shut it down but you followed his despicable orders. That's not fair at all. Well, it has been done, I need you to shut it down or I will do it myself."He knows my meaning of shutting it down. It meant that I need him to leave the office. I will just employ another person to handle it. I can't work with people who don't put other people's interests before theirs. They have no
39Aiden's POVHow could she join our school without telling me? I thought we were friends. I walked out of the class without saying anything. But the one on my mind now is my mate. Kira. She looked really pretty today. Ever since we have gone on the date, she doesn't give me the time I needed or wanted. She caught me when I was talking to her last night when she told me that I wanted to see her naked. Fuck! I know. I can't resist her no matter what. I can't even explain this feeling anymore. Does she not want me or she is just busy? I know how exhausting the Alpha or Luna's duties have always been. I walked as fast as I could but couldn't find her anywhere. I need my mate. I can't forget how she tastes and what her body looks like. I just want to touch her. I need to make time for us to get to know each other better. I think I am falling for her. It was then I saw Camille approaching me. "Aiden. There you are." She smiled coming closer to me and pulling me into a hug. "You d
40Kira's POVHe, talking to her and holding hands with her wasn't acceptable to me. I, accepting him as my mate was another thing. He was a bully before and I never liked him but now he is chasing after me. He could talk with her but holding hands with her was pushing it.I do not like that girl one bit. My wolf repels her and I know she is going to cause nothing but trouble for us. I remembered the way she moved closer to him while I watched them. What impression was she trying to pass on me? Was she trying to rub it on my face that she was his best friend? But I am his mate. He needs to respect that. Why am I even bothered that they are friends or not? I shouldn't give a fuck at all. I should just mind my business and pretend as if I did not see them. "Let go of me." I gazed at him. "She is just my friend." He said looking at me. "I don't care who she is to you. Just let go of me and let's forget whatever happened between us." I told him but he won't even listen to me. He only
41Kira's POVI pulled a long smile as he sat down on the chair. Just how I like it. He deserves to sit down on the chair over and over again. I checked my white-painted fingernails as I watched and observed each of their moves. Their countenances, their actions. I noticed all. Everywhere was silent. Elder Blake understood the message, he didn't talk either and I loved it. Marcus kept looking and the fear in his eyes was obvious. He knew I could order his death sentence if I wanted to because he deserved it. I leaned forward and rested my elbows on the table and placed my chin on my palms. "We all know that Beta Marcus ruled for over four years after my father, the past Alpha died," I said and looked into their faces. The more I talked, the more tension and pressure occupied the room. The moon goddess had given me that authority from heaven. The heavens had blessed me and given life a second chance. A second chance to rule and avenge my past death and my parents' death. Whoever ki
42Ariel's POV"What?" "Three hundred million?" "How is that even true?" Elder Collins, Blake, Miller, and Marshall couldn't believe their ears. The remaining elders were mute and I was sure they knew what I was talking about. It was their handiwork. Marcus was mute and he was aware he was in for it. Three hundred million? Yes, that's true. When I got the statement of account from the bank manager, he made me understand that Marcus would come at the end of every month to request a huge amount of money and if they refused, he would fire them from their work. I felt pity for the innocent lives he had ruined when he was on the throne. The lives he had taken and the lives he had destroyed. Jaguar frowned his face and I knew no matter what he won't agree to it. I won't give him any chance to talk at all. "You are asking how it is true?" I turned to Collins. "Where were you four when he was doing all this? Are you saying he did them behind your back? Or should I say the golds he h
43Today is Friday and this would be the last day of this week that I would be setting my eyes on Aiden. I don't care if he is dating Camille. We aren't friends. What happened between us that night occurred because I was carried away. It was because I allowed my emotions to control me. I didn't mean to give in to him just like that. I couldn't say no to it but now I am ready to say no every time and every day. It won't repeat itself ever again and he is not touching me again. I will make sure of that. I only see him as nothing but a distraction. Glancing at the clock, it was half past six in the morning. It's a new day and I don't want any joy-killer to ruin my day. To kill my joy and the reason was that I was able to rule like a true leader of the pack. Marcus deserved what I did to him. Stripping him off his title as the Beta wasn't enough for me. I learned that he had been depriving the orphanage home of their share because it was registered under the pack's name. Those poor ki
44I don't want to be friends with anybody. Watching her hand alone in front of me gives me nausea. What was she trying to do? Rub into my face that she was closer to Aiden than I? I swallowed a lump of saliva and took her handshake. I might get infected and I don't want that. I would've to wash my hands later. It feels itchy. Lizabeth was sitting right beside me watching us. "So are you free for tonight?" "What?" I asked. "I wanted us to hang out together at the bar tonight. You are invited too Lizabeth." Camille spoke as if the world was just at the tip of her fingers. Like she could control everyone. I am not at her level. "I am busy for now and I have a lot of things on my schedule. I don't even have time to hang out with my friends." I said hoping she would leave me alone yet she didn't. She is so clingy and I hate it. It feels disgusting and irritating. "Oh, that's so bad! But can't you make time for us?" What else does this girl doesn't understand?Ugh!Lizabeth stared
45Aiden's POVThe more she tries to push me away, the more my wolf is yearning and longing for her to come to me. I don't know why she keeps pushing me away. Maybe she thought I haven't changed. Of course, I have changed and I am not willing to go back to my old self unless she forces me to go back to it by not responding to me. I love her and it seems something is stopping her from showing me that she loves me too. I love her so much. I came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist. With water dripping down my chest. My wolf growled at me and I knew what was wrong. I imagined that blue eyes of hers staring right into my eyes telling me she loves me back. I dried my body and put on clean Calvin Klein underwear. I just needed to get some groceries at the store for our needs. The maids could do it but I don't want to feel useless around here. I want to help out. The door was knocked and I asked who was by the door. "I need to get to the grocery store, sir." It was
