~Dominic~

A lot needs to be done today. The hospital scandal has escalated, and even though I'm in dire need of rest to get rid of the migraine ravaging my head, I have to force myself to work through the last bit of Pack matters that have been begging for my attention for the last couple of weeks.

Then, I'll work with my team to find a permanent way to get rid of the whole scandal. If the only option is to have Jess take the blame, then I'll have to exert my power as an Alpha and have her do it.

I’ve just turned another page of the document before me when Gideon, my assistant, knocks on the door, hurriedly and rushes in without waiting for me to call him in.

“What-”

“Alpha, we have a problem.” Gideon cuts me off.

My fingers go through my hair again as I groan, “What now?”

“It’s Miss White.”

Instantly, I’m alert.

“What about her?” I asked, adjusting on my seat, unease flooding me.

“She’s preparing for a press conference.”

Relief floods me, and a smile twitches th

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   33. Lawsuit

    ~Dominic~After a very stressful day, I sit across the sofa in my sitting room, thinking of the possible ways to sort out the health crises that are gradually threatening to engulf me.I’m halfway through a glass of whiskey when my assistant’s message flashes across my phone screen.We located her last flight record. She booked a one-way ticket to Silver Valley.I pour the remaining whiskey into my mouth and stare frustratingly at the text message. Silver Valley is the Lycan King’s Pack…My mind goes to a time when Jess mentioned that she once lived at the Lycan King’s Pack.I’d forgotten that.“Send me her previous home address,” I send a reply.There’s a pause. “Yes sir,” Gideon replies and hangs up.A few seconds later, my phone notification pings.He has shared a location pin with me. It’s an old neighborhood on the outskirts of Silver Valley Pack territory. I tap on the attached images of the house.It’s a small, single apartment located in a narrow yard. The area seem

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   32. Rhea strikes

    ~Jess~The whole encounter with Allister’s grandmother made me feel uneasy. But Allister was beside me throughout, silently shielding me from the older woman’s venom.Rhea, on the other hand, had initially acted nicely, but it didn’t take too long to know that her actions were just camouflage.So, when she offered me an invitation to the royal family’s charity gala that would be held later that evening, I hesitated.Not because I just arrived and didn’t plan on attending any event while still under Allister‘s protection, but because the few minutes I already spent with her told me the kind of person she might be.So the invitation came wrapped in too much warmth that I suspected there was more to it.“You should come,” Rhea says with a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. “What better way to introduce you to the members of this Pack than having you appear at a gathering hosted by our family?”Well, she does have a point. Still, I’m skeptical and wary about her open arms.“

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   31. My Mate

    ~Rhea~The familiar hum of Allister’s car and the excited screams that follows has me rushing out of the Pack mansion to see him.Thus time, he was away longer than necessary. And that probsbly triggered the excitement from the Pack servants outside.Rushing down the stairs, I take a brief pause, waiting for a few extra sevonds to collect myself before walking majestically into the big entrance living room hall to wait for him.When the mighty entrance doors open up and Allister steps in, a big smile spreads across my face and I waltz across the room to hug him but my step freezes the instant she pops up from behind him.Jess, the ugly annoying ant I want to crush so bad.Standing beside Allister, she looks smaller than I imagined, But there’s something about the way she carries herself, like she already belongs.And that irritates my spirit more than anything.Forcing my legs to continue moving in the initially planned direction, I stop just a few steps away from them and force a pra

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   Leaving Ingested behind

    ~Jess~ Over the last couple of days, I completed my resignation process at the Park hospital and got handed my approval letter. Today, I stepped back into the hospital to grab the last of my stuff from my tiny office. Every remaining responsibility I owe to the Pack hospital has been fulfilled; patient handovers, case notes, and ethical reports… Even a few unfinished health-related research summaries I once thought I’d return to someday, I had to conclude and gather everything, leaving nothing behind that can be questioned, twisted, or used against Me. Stepping out of the hospital building, I head towards the parking lot, carrying a small box that contains a few of my personal belongings: my badge and other little possessions I left in my office the last time I visited. Allister is waiting by the car, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, paired with a sunshade. He looks perfect. The moment he sees me, he flashes a warm smile. “Done?” he asks, taking the box from me. “Y

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   29. I need to find Jess!

    I turn back to Nox, who is eyeing me like he understands my dilemma, and he shrugs.A suffocating feeling starts to crowd me.I have been thinking of calling Jess and convincing her to see me so that we can discuss my health and that of my mother.But getting blocked everywhere by her is going to make that completely impossible.At the thought of my health, my stomach twists violently, pain flaring sharp enough to make me bend slightly at the waist.I press a hand to my abdomen, breathing through the pain.I have to find a way to get to Jess. I seriously need her. I have to either have her be my side piece and continue like nothing is different, or get her to give the housekeeper a rundown of my meds, meal plan, and recipes.Same as my mother's health. And it's either she accepts the options willingly, or I force them on her.With my current stomach flares, I’m in too much pain to give a fuck about how she would feel about my decision.Everyone is staring at me, silently hoping for an

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   28. Blocked everywhere

    ~Dominic~I’m halfway through a drink when Nox leans in, lowering his voice like he’s about to share a secret he doesn’t want the others to hear.“Alpha,” he whispers, “I think your little Omega is cheating on you with some high-end dude.”He means Jess is cheating on me?She's seeing someone else in this pack? That’s not even possible?“What do you mean?” I ask.Our Mate bond is indeed broken, and Jess has moved out of the Manor, but I haven’t told her that it's over between us. I never said our relationship has ended.I never did.So, if she's truly seeing another man, then she's indeed cheating on me.“I ran into her earlier today,” Nox tells me.I grab my glass of bourbon and empty its contents in a gulp. Twisting the empty glass between my fingers, I tell him, “Spill.”Nox studies my face, then grins in that upsetting way he usually does. “She was with another man, a fancy-looking man. And if my eyes served me well, he was wearing a very expensive Rolex. Top grade stuff. Not kids
