News came in after I decided to double check and put a call to one of the pack warriors who were supposed to guard the border to confirm if it was true, that was a ridiculous request because I literally saw it on the news.Callum second in command was the one running the errands because Callum was still on the ‘find-who-killed-natalie’ search. It turned out that, yes a couple of hiker did die near the west border, but the death was connected to something else so the eyes of the curious people were off the pack, a few reporters and cops came though, but it didn't go too far and Damon had to come back from wherever he went to, to sort the situation, he couldn't give Victor the work because that man has been busy all day, I couldn't believe how packed his schedule was.He was never free for a full day, just a few hours and the he is back to work.Has he even eaten? Probably not. So I put a call through to his assistant to tell her I was coming and she shouldn't tell Victor as I wanted t
“What are you doing sitting on the stairs?” I climbed the first and second steps and waited for her to move out of the way.She slowly got up. “I'm sorry but I can't let you in, Luna. The alpha is currently in and busy with a serious matter”Serious matter, in our bedroom.And I couldn't go in.“Sorry? You said I can't what?” My grip on my bag tightened. I suddenly saw Zara approaching from the background door, she must have heard what Selene said.Selene continued. “You can't go in” She hesitated before adding. “Luna”Zara took my bag from me and faced Selene with a grim expression. “Step aside, Ms Getty or I'll be forced to make you” I could see the surprised flash in Selene's eyes. Yes, Zara was an ordinary assistant and Chambermaid but she was as strong as she could be, I stopped sparring with her when she almost broke my bones. She was more capable than any guards I carry.Selene look at her ridiculously. “Can you please not interrupt. I'm just doing my job”Zara scoffed in resp
I left the room with a heavy heart, knowing what I had to do. Slowly, I packed at my shoes and stuffed them into a big box and began then move my things. Each item I put outside the room felt like a piece of my life slipping away.“Are you sure about this, Luna?” Zara's voice was soft as she watched me pack from outside what's now Damon's room. She was holding a large red box that had all my books.I nodded, unable to meet her gaze. “I have to do this. It's for the best.”Once everything else like the dirty clothes, files and documents was packed, I moved to the other room. It felt strange to be in a new space, unfamiliar and empty. But I knew it was necessary for my own sanity.“Do you need any help arranging your stuff?” Normally, she wouldn't have asked, but I guess she saw how alone I want to be at the moment. “No, I think I can manage,” I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt. I started by cleaning the room, wiping away the dust and cobwebs that had accumulate
The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room as I groggily reached for my buzzing phone on the nightstand. Cecil's name flashed on the screen, and I answered after yawning and wiping the drool off my chin.“Ana, it's Cecil,” Her voice crackled through the line. “Just wanted to let you know that the people have started bringing in the equipment for the store. Elizabeth and Jennie are already here, ready to get things set up.”I pulled the phone away from my ear to check the time.7:56I placed the phone back on my ear.“Thanks for the heads up, Cecil. I'll be there shortly.” My voice was groggy and she must have known because she asked me to take a quick bath and be there.After hanging up, I dragged myself out of bed, feeling the weight of exhaustion settling over me like a heavy blanket. The events of the previous night had left me drained both physically and emotionally, but there was no time to dwell on it now.In the bathroom, I stared at
I woke up at home the next morning feeling surprisingly refreshed. Damon wasn't home, which was a relief. I had breakfast and took my time enjoying it, savoring each bite as I planned out my day.After breakfast, I decided to spend the morning ordering a few more things to add some final touches to my bedroom. I browsed through different online stores, scrolling through pages of curtains, throw pillows, and rugs, searching for the perfect pieces to complete the cozy atmosphere I had in my head.After much deliberation, I finally settled on a set of curtains in a soft, neutral color, a selection of throw pillows in coordinating patterns, and a plush rug to add warmth to the hardwood floors. With my shopping list complete, I proceeded to check out, eagerly anticipating the arrival of my new purchases.Since the items I ordered might take long and would possibly require pick-up, I decided to take a stroll downtown to the aesthetic store to get some room decor designs. .Upon arriving at
After leaving the hospital, I decided to ask the driver tomake a detour to the fashion house, Luxury. I and the ladies had agreed that for the first two months, we'd close early, so I wanted to see if the ladies had already gone home or if the store was still open.As the cab turned the corner, the familiar sight of the storefront came into view. The glass windows displayed the latest designs.I alighted, paid the driver and Pushed open the door, I stepped inside, greeted by the soft hum of activity. The scent of fabric and perfume filled the air, mingling with the sound of sewing machines whirring in the background.“Ana! You're back!” Cecil, exclaimed, her face lighting up with a smile as she saw me.“Hey,” I greeted her, returning the smile. “Is everyone still here?”“Yeah, we're just finishing up for the day,” She replied, gesturing towards the back of the store where the rest of the team was gathered.As I reached the back of the store, I found Elizabeth, who we made our head des
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of the alarm buzzing on the bedroom's nightstand. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I glanced over at Victor, still asleep beside me. He looked so peaceful, his features softened by slumber.After getting out of bed, I went to the kitchen and microwaved the leftovers from last night's dinner. I also made some toast for Victor, knowing he'd appreciate a quick breakfast before heading off to work.With breakfast ready, I returned to the bedroom and gently nudged Victor awake. He groaned sleepily, but I could see the exhaustion written all over his face.“I'm leaving now,” I whispered, leaning down to kiss his forehead.“Mmm, you can take the driver” He mumbled, already drifting back to sleep.Chuckling at his sleepy response, I grabbed my coat and headed out the door. The driver was waiting for me downstairs, and soon we were on our way to the mansion.Arriving an hour later, I found Zara in the living room, sipping on a cup of tea. She sprang up w
As the car rolled to a stop at the airport, I glanced at the digital clock on the dashboard. It read a few minutes to nine. With a deep breath, I gathered my belongings and prepared to step out into the calm atmosphere of the terminal.Exiting the car proved to be a bit of a challenge, as it was a tall vehicle and I needed some assistance from the driver to help my way down. Once on solid ground, I thanked him and retrieved my bags, ready to begin the next leg of the journey.The airport didn't buzz with activity as it should, no sound of the usual chatter and the hum of engines that was supposed to fill the air. Neon signs illuminated the terminal, casting a colorful glow over the dark area. I made my way through the large wooden boxes that scattered around, didn't know the use or what was inside, but it was there. I followed the signs that pointed towards the departure gates.After a bit of searching, I spotted Victor and his assistant standing near the entrance to the lone open pla
