Masuk~Vaelor~West’s phone buzzed, like it has been doing for the past thirty minutes.“What do I tell the Elders back at Blackthorn?” He asked, staring worriedly at his phone.“Simple. Continue ignoring the call.” I flipped the folder on the table, scanning through the details of the shopping mart Vie frequents.I was thinking of acquiring it and filling it with pregnancy and baby items.Then slash half of the prices.Would a 60% discount seem suspicious?“And what of the bonding ceremony? The date is fast approaching.”“There would be no bonding ceremony.”West's phone buzzed again.The Elders were surely persistent.Just as he was about to decline, he paused, staring at his phone contemplatively.“If it's the Elders, decline.”“No, this is from our men in Luna Vixen's company.”“So why the hesitation?”He picked up, while I returned to the folder.The owner of the mart was hell bent on not selling it.I had to do something to change his mind.Should I triple the offer? Cut off his suppl
~Vixen~When you put out a fire, another one starts.That was the life involved in running a company.There was literally something that always needed your attention.And recently, our enemies decided to move their chess piece.“Lady Vixen,” Annie ran into my office. “Noblepath is at it again.”I was tired of hearing that name already. It wasn't up to twenty four hours yet but it felt like all I ever heard was Noblepath.I should ban their name from being said in this company.“What have they done now?”“Nanim Electronics gave us the contract of moving electronics to use our trucking line and port slot but Noblepath has approached them, offering 15% lower rate and faster border clearance.”A whole fifteen percent?It was clear they were not doing this for profit, they were keen on stealing our clients.“What does Nanim Electronics say? Are they requesting cancellation of the contract?”Annie shook her head. “Not yet. They called to inform us, requesting for a discount, otherwise they
~Vaelor~“Alpha, she's here.” West said.“Send her in.”I made a lazy circle on the table, my mind drifting once again to Vie.She didn't waste time pushing me away when she fully regained consciousness yesterday.Once again I was her enemy, even though I saw the hesitance in her eyes.She didn't want to, but she had to let me go.Why was she putting a wall between us when her heart said otherwise?Why was she determined to keep me away?Every action I made seemed like a threat.If only she would freely speak to me, air out her grievances and I'll clear her misconceptions.But she threw me out at every chance she got.That didn't mean I would give up on her. I would forever stay with her.Especially now that she is pregnant.She needed me, but was too stubborn to admit it.I had no choice but to stand from afar, rendering help the best way I could.The door of the office opened, and a lady in a leather jacket came in.She wore a dark lipstick, her sharp heels clicking against the floo
~Vixen~Something didn't add up.Something was surely off.There was a pattern in the Winterwood market sector that everyone seemed to overlook.There were dozens of separate companies with bland, forgettable names invading the market. Their influx into Winterwood was odd.Suddenly each of these ‘new’ companies were acquiring other companies, buying up buildings, taking over the shipping port, acquiring media shares, purchasing warehouse chains and even funding construction contracts.To the normal eyes, these were independent companies, just running normal business but in my eyes, I could see a person pulling an invisible string behind them.Someone wanted to be in charge of Winterwood, using the market activities which were the backbone of Winterwood.If not handled now, all the supply chains will be controlled by this anonymous individual. The entire sector would be trapped.The pack's infrastructure, security contracts, transport system and even gala sponsors will be controlled by
~Vaelor~I didn't believe a word of what Vie said.And I was definitely not letting this matter slide.Vie was definitely pregnant.She did manage to plan a seed of doubt, but after I left, I immediately phoned Michela.She revealed the ‘white stick' was a test kit used to detect pregnancy, and the presence of those two faint pink lines showed that a person was pregnant.I was certain the kit belonged to Vie. This reaffirmed my suspicion, but left me with countless unanswered questions.Why would she lie to me?Why didn't she want me to know about the pup?More importantly, was it mine or does it belong to another?Does it belong to Sav?The thought of Vie being pregnant for him was enough to drive me insane.The pup had to be mine.The one thing I noticed since I came to Winterwood was that the more I tried to talk to Vie, the more she pushed me away.She won't readily tell me the truth. She would keep denying while placing me at arm's length.Therefore I've decided to stop trying to
~Vixen~Vaelor paused mid speech, sniffing the air around me.What was he doing?He stepped back, his head tilting as realization dawned on him.What was he realizing?His expression flitted from shock to pain then to… fear?Wait.My scent.I didn't hide my scent.I didn't bother using the chemical perfume because it was just a night out with Sav, and he already knew about the pup.But Vaelor didn't.And I was left bare, vulnerable.The sweetened smell ought to be more concentrated as the pregnancy proceeded.There was a high chance Vaelor had already perceived the scent.I took a subtle step backward, hoping, no praying, that he was too angry to notice the change.Vaelor should never find out. Vaelor must never–“Is it his or mine?” He demanded, his tone filled with anticipation as his gaze was fixed on mine.He knew.He has figured it out.Vaelor knew about the pregnancy.No. No. No.How could I be this careless?I can never return back to Blackthorn. My pup has to be shielded from
