LOGIN~Allister~Ending the call with Beshar Gabret, I lean back in my chair, my mind occupied with the fact that he’s managed to secure a meeting with one of the princes and me.I rub a hand across my face and sigh.The past few weeks have been nothing but chaos. Having my men search and comb almost the ends of the earth for Jefferson hasn’t been easy, and being on Beshar’s neck for a meeting with at least one of the princes as well has been crazy.A knock sounds on my office door, and Angel pushes it open.Seeing him still limping, I immediately frown."What are you doing out here, again?" I ask him.He limps closer and drops a thick brown envelope onto my desk. “You need to see this, Alpha,” he tells me.I look at the envelope, then at him, "What’s in it?"Angel pushes his frame into one of the empty seats.“Alpha,” he calls. “It seems Jessica White has been playing all of us. And, I have proof."I eye him cautiously and slowly drag the brown envelope closer. "What?"I open the envelope
~Callahan~The steady beeping of machines fills the hospital room as I sit beside Sarah’s bed, my hand wrapped around hers.She looks so pale.For the hundredth time since arriving at the hospital in Greymark, I stare at the bandages wrapped around her shoulder and upper chest, silently thanking every god and goddess willing to listen that she is still alive.A doctor stands at the foot of the bed, flipping through a digital chart while two nurses monitor Sarah's vitals."Doctor?" I call, rising from my chair.The younger man looks up and offers me a reassuring smile. "Beta Callahan, she is stable."The reply makes me heave a sigh of relief."The silver bullet entered through the upper left side of her torso and exited almost cleanly. It left just tiny fragments of silver in there, which we’ve now removed," the doctor explains. "Fortunately, the trajectory missed all major organs. Her lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys were untouched."Thank the Moon goddess. I sigh. If anything had hap
~Jess~A dull, relentless ache pounds behind my eyes as my consciousness slowly returns.I groan softly and try to move my body. Pain immediately shoots through my wrists.My eyes snap open, greeted by stark darkness at first, which my eyes eventually adjust to.For the first moment, I can't seem to understand what I'm looking at.The air around me is damp, and the smell of rust, mold, and stagnant water hangs heavily.I try to sit up. That's when I realize my hands are bound behind my back.A sharp wave of panic crashes into me.What-Where am I?My breathing quickens as I force myself upright, my vision slowly adjusting to the dull-lit room.The walls surrounding me are made of rough stone, darkened by maybe moisture. The continuous, rhythmic sound of dripping water is heard somewhere in the room.At the far end of the room, I make out a heavy metal barrier made of thick iron bars. Beyond it stands a masked, armed guard.My stomach drops as I begin to struggle against my restraints.
~Tania~"Do you mind putting me up to speed? I'd love to know what I'm missing out on." Thomas Maclewin says to my surprise."You knew Agnes Shema was seeing someone else, didn’t you?”He shrugs, “Not exactly. Why?”“Our deal is off,” I tell him. “I’m not doing it anymore.”Thomas sits up, looking unbothered. “We had an agreement, Miss Beecroft.”“That I should get Julian to settle down with me as fast as possible, yes. But I’m telling you now that I can’t do it anymore." I speak clearly.Thomas clears his throat and gives me a cold stare that has me regretting ever accepting his absurd deal in the first place.When I had that private meeting with him, I was so excited to go ahead with his proposal because he promised that the tower contract would go to Smith and Agary, and he did make me a personal offer, too. One that I was very pumped to get.However, he gave me his reason for wanting this as “Caesar Constructions” being a family-oriented firm, and since Julian would be at the fore
~Tania~I was in shock for a while after leaving Agnes's house.My visit proves only one thing: she has the same type of pendant I saw at Julian's house.I assume that since she has the same pendant and her middle name is Tracy, the necklace was crafted for her, and Julian was the one who gifted it to her.That would mean both of them are either dating or they once dated.It could also mean they’re just friends. But I find myself unable to think in that direction.First thing the next day, I get ready as fast as I can and decide to make a quick stop at the Smith and Agary branch handled by Julian before heading to my company.I meet him at the entrance of Smith and Agary, and the shock on his face is evident."We need to talk," I say as I walk past him into the open elevator.Julian stands at the spot for a moment before rushing in to join me.We arrive at his office floor and step out hurriedly.Out of people's earshot, he turns to me, "What's wrong. Why are you here this early? Is t
I force myself off the couch and hurry over to the door as the doorbell rings for the second time.Earlier, Tania had called, saying she was at The Vespa and wanted to stop by and talk to me urgently.I suggested coming to her, but she wanted to come to me. So, I texted her my address.Since my apartment is fairly close to The Vespa, she arrived in no time.Having allowed her through the security property gate. She’s now at my door.Crossing the living room, I pull open the door and find the ever-gorgeous Tania standing there with a charming smile."Hello there." Her face lights up. "Now, you look amazing."A laugh slips from me. "Thank you so much. You look good, too. I love your hair and outfit. Your jewelry is so lovely." I compliment her and step aside to let her in."Please, come in.""Thank you."She walks inside carrying a small shopping bag. Once she's seated, she immediately hands it over to me."I got this for you at a store downtown. I was shopping for some new jewelry, and
In the blink of an eye, Dominic is sent flying through the air as if hit by a heavy tornado.I stand utterly stunned, unable to process what just happened.Standing protectively before me is Allister. And standing behind him is Leo and one of the guards who were hovering around the open space earli
Allister’s lips curl with undisguised disdain. His eyes are cold as he looks down at me.“Fool,” he mutters.The humiliation burns through me. Never in my entire life would I have thought that I would be hurting this much just because of a mere Omega, who is, by all ramifications, way below my feet
~Rhea~Celine Blackwaters voice reaches me where I stand eavesdropping on her conversation with Grandma Regi.“I do not know what else you want from me when the person involved already made his choice.” She tells Grandma.“She is not the right woman for him,” Grandma Regi insists. “Celine, look aro
Philip’s eyes widen questionably at me, and just to be clear, I nod and reply, “Yes, Allister is my Fiancé. Now we have to go. I’ll see you around, Phil.”“Sure,” he lets out, looking like gallons of energy have been sucked out of him.
