Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 295. Coward
~Besha Gabret~After Allister left, I remained seated for several moments, staring at the closed door.Of all the things he could have asked of me, it’s a seat with the Varkai princes.Leaning back in my chair, I exhale heavily. I still don't know what to make of this.What does he want with them?The question keeps circling my head.Allister Blackwaters isn't the kind of man who chases pointless leads. If he wants to meet the Varkai princes, then there is a reason behind it.The problem is that I don't know his reason, and that bothers me.I rub my jaw thoughtfully.I already promised him a meeting with the Prince, but the bigger problem is whether I will even be able to find him again.It's been years.The last time I tracked him down took months of favors, connections, and dead ends before I finally managed to locate him.And even after all that effort, he turned me down.I’m still in deep thought when the door swings open, and Collins steps in."Well, well." His voice drips with m

"Fifty-five-fourty-five?""Not going to work," I maintain.He slumps back onto his chair. “Let's leave it at Sixty-forty.” He almost pleads."That will not work for me either. The least I can reasonably consider is offering you twenty-five percent and thirty-eight acres."Besha glares at me. "You're just impossible.""So, I've been told," I reply calmly.His stare lingers. Then suddenly, he laughs. "You know what your problem is?""What?""You are stubborn."I smirk. "Like you’re any different, Besha. It takes one to know one."That earns me a laugh from him.Eventually, he relaxes his back into his seat, the tension on his shoulders easing slightly."Give me thirty percent and take fifteen acres."I stare at him, tapping my fingers against the table while evaluating the fairness of the offer."Thirty acres and I’ll think about it.”He bites down on his bottom lip, in deep thought. Then he spares a sideways glance at his Beta before replying, “Think about it then. I’d love to know wha
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 293. Resolving the conflict
~Allister~The moment I step into Frostland’s council wing, cold air brushes against my face.Leo walks a step behind me as we make our way toward the meeting room, with Frostland guards standing at attention along the corridor.I push open the doors and spot Besha Gabret already waiting inside.The moment he sees me, he stands and stares at me.For a second, neither of us speaks.The last few weeks have been a mess. A lot has been going on, and although I’m here in Frostland to see Besha, I still have in mind the photographs of Besha, Sebastian, and Collins Gabret Angel showed me a couple of days ago.Angel had been convinced something was wrong, and having known him for long, I do not in any way doubt that his instincts might be right.The truth is that a photograph alone proves nothing.Sebastian no longer represents Silver Valley on the Frostland oil field matter, but he has every right to travel wherever he wants.Whatever business he has with Besha or Collins could be personal.
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 292. Family and Vacation
~Jess~It's amazing how much a person can heal when surrounded by people who genuinely love them.The ache Allister’s rejection left behind still exists.But unlike the first few days after the breakup, it no longer feels like someone is squeezing my heart in a vice.Now it's becoming bearable.And I have my family to thank for that.Since I got back, nobody has ever brought up the topic of my breakup because they love me enough not to force me to relive it.Dad has been incredible every single day.Even when he spends hours at the construction sites overseeing projects, he always checks on me once he comes home.Sometimes he brings snacks and simply sits beside me while we talk about random things.Sebastian has been just as wonderful. He's practically moved into the house since I got back.Always checking on me, making sure I don't isolate myself, and dragging me into conversations whenever he notices I'm drifting into my thoughts.Sarah has also been an absolute angel. She has prac

~Allister~“Did she finally follow through with it?” I ask Emelda, Jess’s housekeeper and bodyguard.“Yes,” she replies. “She just left with her cousin Sebastian after moving her entire belongings back to her former apartment.”“Shit,” I mutter under my breath.“She left her ring behind, Alpha Allister,” Emelda tells me.“What?”“Yes. Her ring, the house keys, her car keys, and some boxes of clothes and accessories I believe contain gift items you once bought for her. I think she was hurt by the trending pictures of you and the Brumshill heiress.”I groan, rubbing my eyes.I still do not know how those pictures got out there. And worse still, they were taken from angles that made them look and appear oddly inappropriate.My purpose of visiting Brumshill had been simple, to meet the Alpha and find out more about the Varkai Princes.“Alpha Blackwaters?” Emelda calls, drawing me away from my chain of thoughts.“Yes?”“I think you should avoid making things worse by not hurting or humilia

The faint light of dawn creeps through my bedroom window as I sit by it, staring into nothing.I managed only brief moments of dozing all through last night. Each time I closed my eyes, haunting dreams of Allister deserting me always pulled me back into consciousness.In one of the dreams, I cried. The tears felt real, burning my cheeks as they fell.And I woke with actual tears on my face with my wolf, Arina, whimpering in my head, her distress echoing through our bond.She hasn’t exactly weaned completely of the wolfsbane gas from when I was kidnapped.But she’s way better than before. As I sit at the window, staring into nothingness, tears slip down my cheeks.I quickly wipe them away with my trembling fingers.A gentle knock on the door interrupts my misery. “Miss White? Are you awake? It’s time for breakfast.”Emelda’s kind voice carries through my bedroom door. I quickly pat my face dry and open the door. Emelda’s worried eyes take in my appearance. “Did you sleep well, Miss

~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.

The street light turns green, but Allister doesn’t move the car right away.“You don’t have to lean on me every time,” he says gently. “Just… don’t lock me out of your life.”His thumb brushes over my knuckles, slowly.“You have me. You’ve always had me.” He hums reassuringly.His words are simple

“Officer,” Allister cuts in. “Miss White is my client. And if you want this issue thrashed out in court, then it’s fine. You already know we go all out for anyone under my law firm.”The police officer starts to stutter, making incoherent sentences.“Officer Dean, is it?” I ask, calling out the nam
