Jeremy

I had always been the clumsiest among the three of us. Logan always said I wasn’t capable of committing a crime, because I’d easily be figured out. It was a miracle that I hadn’t done anything to give away Aubrey yet. Maybe because I knew her life was involved.

I joined Aubrey as she picked up the pads and put them back in the bag. After we were done, she handed the bag back to me. It was hers.

I looked at her, confused at what she was doing. Why would she hand me the bag, knowing Nathan would question me?

Nathan narrowed his eyes at both of us. Then he folded his arms over his chest. “I ask what you are doing?”

“We are getting groceries,” Aub responded, raising her hand to show the grocery bag.

I raised mine too, but I eventually figured it was a bad move.

“And why does yours contain sanitary pads?” Nathan finally asked what I was dreading.

I cast a glance towards Aubrey. She placed me in that situation, so she should handle it. But the look she gave me showed she had no

    Annonymous“Did you speak with Max?” I asked my secretary. She looked better than the previous day. Yet, when I approached her, she acted like she wasn’t all dressed up to seduce me. I had no plans to push her; she’d succumb when she was ready. I was a patient man, you'd see. She placed a file before me. “Yes, he said you should wait for a week.”“A week?” I didn’t know at that point. It wasn’t as if waiting for one more week would jeopardize my plans, but I also wanted to get things done as quickly as possible. “Whatever.”“Are you sure we’d be able to penetrate the Silvermoon pack, though?” Linda, my secretary, asked, her voice skeptical and full of worry. I dropped the pen in my hand. “What are your concerns?”“I heard Logan is more deadly than his father,” she stated, an obvious fact. “And?” “I’m just saying…” she paused. “What if things go wrong? He wouldn’t spare us and our pack.” “You’ve been working with me for over two years. You still think I’m not as deadly as Logan?”

  • The Alpha's Undercover Mate   The Caught

    LoganI was thinking of confronting Aub after I left Jeremy in the elevator, but I didn’t know if that was the right approach. After pondering on it for almost twenty minutes, I decided against it, but somehow, my legs still found their way around his dormitory. I was only a few steps away from knocking on his door when I saw him come out of his room. He was holding a grocery bag. I hid behind a wall so that he wouldn’t see me. It was actually dark, so I doubted whether he would see me regardless of where I was standing. Aub kept looking around. He was checking to see if he was being watched. Why? He kept walking until he was close to one of the garbage cans we left on the streets for general use. Why would he leave the cans in his room to use the one on the street? Then, he slowly lowered the bag in his hand and began to remove its contents. I couldn’t see the contents from where I was standing, but I could see he was removing the package and discarding the outer wrapper. Wheneve

  • The Alpha's Undercover Mate   Perks Of Being A Woman

    I kept my eyes on Jeremy throughout the dinner. I didn’t want to lose him, because he was the only one who could help me at that moment. Because I knew my bags would be checked at the border, I didn’t bring any feminine products. Even the skincare products I brought were unisex. But I couldn’t bring sanitary pads. It would be even worse than being found with female-oriented skin care products.I needed to ask Jeremy to get me pads. There are different convenience stores in the pack; it wouldn’t be hard to get me one. I hope that by that time, the following month, I’d be out of the pack already.“Hey,” I waved at Jeremy the moment I saw him about to get into the elevator. He was with Logan and Nathan, so they halted, turning to face me.I scratched my neck nervously. “Can I speak to Jeremy for a few minutes?”Jeremy pointed a finger at himself, and a questioning look appeared on his face. “Me?”Did I stutter? I nodded, shining my eyes brightly at him.I saw the same look Logan had back

    I reached for my tablet and went straight to my mail. My hands were shaking, which I found to be very disappointing. I didn’t even know who she was talking about yet, but shivers had run down my spine countless times already. It was a voice recording and a few pictures. In the pictures, I saw the director meeting someone I didn’t recognize. They shook hands, exchanged briefcases, and went through different directions. It was one of those shady scenes where some dark transaction is going on, you’d see in movies. I played the recording. The director: I heard the alpha’s second in command is digging around for information on Aub, the one Aubrey is pretending to be.The Stranger: What will you do about her? She’s not even in on this?The director: I don’t know. She’s the only one capable of getting her hands on his financial records.The stranger: Then hasten her before the end of the month, and if she can’t, we can get rid of her.The director: Who will get rid of her?The stranger:

  • The Alpha's Undercover Mate   The Looming Danger

    I cast a glance towards Logan one last time before I faced Jeremy. “If there’s anything I feel for Logan right now, it’s sheer contempt.”“Even though he saved your face and your life about an hour ago?” He asked, folding his arms together.I shrugged. “It wasn’t a big deal.”“Right.” He walked closer and took a seat beside me. “Seeing how you fought those men yourself, you could have survived.”He saw me, too.“Well…. I’m grateful he came to help.”“Is there something you are hiding from me, Aubrey?” Jeremy asked, staring at me intently as if he were searching my eyes for answers.I chuckled nervously. He was doing that thing he usually does again—giving me a suspicious look.“What can I possibly be hiding from you?” I raised my hands with my shoulders and shrugged.He tilted his head, his eyes still holding mine. “Care to explain how you are so good at fighting?”“Oh…” I needed to come up with one excuse.“I picked up some skills from men on the streets. Self-defense, you know?” I c
