LOGINMALCOLMMy phone rang. Kane was the caller. I picked up immediately.“Alpha,” he called with a panicky voice, “Ms. Rhonda. She was about to come out but rushed back inside and now she can’t be found anymore. The fire has swallowed the entire building.”“What do you mean?” my heart dropped to my stomach immediately. “What the hell are you talking about? Fire? Where? How?”I leapt to my feet immediately and grabbed my car keys. I rushed out of the office before he even replied.“There was a fire outbreak at the Italian restaurant. Ms. Rhonda and her friends had already made it out, but she rushed back inside. The fire has now covered the entire building. She’s still inside.”“Then go and fucking get her!” I growled.My heart was beating dangerously. I could barely breathe, fear engulfing my entire being like wildfire. I couldn’t lose Rhonda. She had to survive. I didn’t mind getting into that fire. I didn’t mind roasting my entire skin until I got to her and saved her.The speed I used
RHONDAAfter pulling off the T-shirt that carried the restaurant’s name, he was left in nothing but a black singlet. His chest was broad, his muscles well-defined. I never knew he was that... hot. Amos walked into the restaurant and headed straight for our table. “Can I see you please?” he asked, “privately.”“Oh, looks like someone lacks basic manners,” Ivy grunted, wrapping her arms around her chest. “There are people here. She’s seated with people who aren’t invisible.”“Forgive my manners,” Amos rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes darting between Isla and Ivy. “Good evening, ladies. Hope you are having a great time. I am sorry to interrupt, but I want to see her privately.”“That’s better.” A smile slowly spread across Ivy’s lips. “Good evening, Mr...?”“Amos,” he answered. “Nice to meet you.” He stretched his hand for a handshake and she took it.Afterwards, he also shook Isla’s hand before returning his gaze to me. “I need to see you, please.”“Sure.” I quickly leapt to my fe
RHONDA“We are leaving now,” I told Kane as I arranged my stuff into my handbag and leapt to my feet. I had almost forgotten he was there because of how quiet he had been.He reached for my bag, but I quickly pulled it away from him.“It’s fine.”I didn’t even expect him to be the one who would follow me to the company. I had expected Malcolm to ask Victor to follow instead.“You told him,” I muttered as we walked down the hallway.“I am sorry. I meant it when I promised to keep your secret, but…”“He threatened you with your family and you love them more than anything,” I cut him off.“I am sorry. I have wronged you. Please forgive me,” he muttered.“You don’t have to keep apologizing,” I said. “It’s not like you were given any choice. If I was also threatened with my family, I would have betrayed anyone.”“Thank you,” he nodded his head.When I saw that guilt was still written on his face, I added, “You don’t have to feel guilty about it. You weren’t in control.”“I know. But I hate
RHONDA“Contract?” Amos’s eyes narrowed. “Can’t we just make our discussions based on verbal mutual agreement?” he asked.No one could be trusted. I didn’t really know him or his aim of offering to help develop the system that would be used for the fabric, so I had to take extra measures.“I don’t work with people based on verbal agreement,” I muttered flatly, giving no room for argument. “If you think you can’t sign a contract, then I might as well decline your offer.”He held my gaze for a few seconds, then leaned back in his chair, exhaling softly.“You’re tough,” he said, a small smile tugging at his lips. “I like that.”“That wasn’t meant to be likable,” I replied.“I know,” he chuckled. “That’s why I like it.”Silence stretched between us for a moment before he raised both hands slightly in surrender.“Alright. I’ll sign your contract.”I studied him, trying to see if there was any hesitation behind his easy agreement, but there was none. If anything, he looked amused.“Good,” I
RHONDAMalcolm returned late that day, and we returned to West Haven the next day. He barely spoke to me, even though I tried hard to initiate conversations. When I realized he didn’t want to talk, I allowed him, giving him time to cool down. When we arrived at my grandparents’ mansion, I hadn’t expected him to get down from the car with us.He walked us into the mansion to greet my grandparents. They were so delighted to see him as they exchanged pleasantries. They offered him lunch, but he declined by saying he had lots of things to do in his pack.When he turned to leave, he walked towards me and opened his arms for a hug. Shocked by that action, I leaned into his arms anyway.“I love you. I just need time to process all this,” he whispered into my ears.We pulled away from the hug and I looked into his eyes. “I love you too.”He left afterwards.The next day, I resumed at the office after being away for days. The applicants for the role of personal assistant and secretary were sch
MALCOLMRhonda had been keeping secrets from me, and that saddened me. Did she think I couldn’t help her? I figured that there was something going on with her and Kane. Sometimes I would call Kane, and he would say he wasn’t at the pack with them when he was supposed to be with them at all times. Although he told me that he was running errands for Rhonda, I found that suspicious. Other times, she would go out alone with Kane, leaving Victor and Leo behind. While knowing she wasn’t cheating on me because I was one hundred percent sure I trusted her, I knew she was hiding something from me.So, I asked Victor if he knew what Kane and Rhonda were up to. He had no idea. That led me to asking Kane.He denied it at first, but I had forced the answer out of him when I threatened him with his family. Before hiring them as Rhonda’s bodyguards, I made sure to have leverage against them. How dare he lie to me like that.Anyway, I finally got my answer. She had been looking for a daughter she nev

RHONDAThe sun streamed through the partly opened curtains, soothingly warming my face. I slowly opened my eyes and got off the bed, stepping into the shower to have a long, soothing bath. My mood felt bubbly today, especially knowing that I would get my revenge in hours.Once I was done, I wrappe

The very talented Seven had fixed the problem and given me back the project I thought I had lost.Relief flooded through me, and a wide grin spread across my face. “Yes!” I exclaimed, making a power gesture. “Yes
