Cold, that would be the word used to describe how I felt. I slowed down my breathing to control my anxiety as I clenched on to the documents in my hand. I could hear them murmuring, whispering and laughing maniacally. They were all in the room, the whole family. “Good evening,” I muttered with a smile as I walked into the room. Suddenly the chattering stopped and they all turned to me with a sinister stare. They didn't even try to hide the hate and anger in their gaze. “What is it?” My husband, Alpha Finn asked. “It better be good. As you can see, I am having a fun time,” He added as he slowly wrapped his hand around a strange lady's waist. I recognized her scent, her fragrance rather. It had been coming off Finn anytime he claimed he went for a business trip. “How do you stand this wrench, brother?” My brother in-law Josiah asked with a sneer. “I have told him countless times. This lady can't be an Alpha’s wife but he wouldn't listen,” His wrinkled mother said without even acknowledging the fact that I was in the room. I stood, quiet with a smile on my face. “Are you just going to stand there or are you going to tell me why you interrupted our family time?” Alpha Finn asked, this time with a louder and angry tone. “I thought I was family,” I responded with a smile on my lips. “Well, I brought you the Hilary file. I have closed the deal and that's the paperwork,” I said, handing one of the documents in my hand over to him. “Did she really close Hilary? That family is impossible to deal with?” Josiah questioned. He drew closer to confirm its authenticity. “I will be damned! She did it, she closed the biggest family in the league,” Josiah exclaimed with a surprised look on his face. “Well done wife,” Finn muttered with a smirk as he poured himself a drink. “You might have bought yourself a few months under my roof. Keep this up and maybe I will announce you to the people as my second Luna,” His words set a fire in my stomach. I was filled with rage and hate but I didn't want to let it sway me. Sometimes I hate myself for falling for his cheap tricks. “Maybe? Maybe you will announce me as your second Luna?” I repeated as a question. My gaze swept across the room, lingering on each face individually. “You should be glad he is picking you for something. I was just telling him to throw you out,” His mother gave me a swift answer. “Your work here is done Joana. We gave you purpose while you helped build our company. We have done enough for you,” Josiah chipped in. “So you are going to send me away? And replace me with that?” I asked, pointing at the lady who sat beside my husband with a smile on her face. “The next time you refer to my wife without respect, I will cut off your tongue,” Finn threatened, keeping a fierce eye contact with me. “So, she is your wife now?” I asked loudly with a smile. “Oh wow! I am just going to be cast out?” “Sweetheart you were never in. Don't fool yourself,” His mother responded. “But I am not a monster. I know you are nothing without me, so I am going to be lenient. You can be with me as my mistress and if you please me enough, I might consider promoting your status,” “Your mistress? Finn, you proposed,” I uttered with shock written all over my face. “You asked me out, you proposed, we became partners and shared same dreams and goals,” “You think a nobody can level up to my standard? You are nothing to me and to my pack.” He said to me. And at that moment, it all turned to dust. My feelings for him, the love I had, everything that was holding me back from giving them the shock of their lives. “Look at her pitiful expression. Just disgusting!” His mother exclaimed. “I can't even stand the look on her face. Please dismiss her,” “Don't worry, I will dismiss myself,” I waved her off. “But let me say something,” I added with a smile. “Say what you want and excuse us. We were having a good time before you ruined it with your presence,” Josiah responded sharply. “Take this and make sure it's signed,” I instructed as I handed the second document over to him. “She gave me an order,” He chuckled softly as he received the file from my hand. The moment he took a look at the content of the document, all his smiles faded. He pushed away his whore as he stood to his feet, staring at the document in confusion. “Brother, what is it? Is everything okay?” Josiah walked to his brother's side to take a look also. “What the hell is this?” He exclaimed. “It's what you see. You are going to sign the divorce document before the end of today.” “Or what?” Finn growled angrily with a fierce gaze. A gaze that didn't rattle me because I had already made up my mind weeks before, I was done with him. “You either sign it or you forfeit the Hilary's. If you can read, you will see that it was stated that their partnership is solely dependent upon you signing the damn divorce paper,” I responded with a soft voice and a bright smile. “You crazy bitch! Even when he signs, you will still own twenty percent of his company,” Josiah pointed out a fact that brought me joy. “ Correction, our company. I built that enterprise with Finn for five years. And I fought to get fifty percent but you were bailed out by your alpha's status,” “You are going to regret this,” Finn said with a deep and intimidating voice. “I doubt that Finn. I think you are the one that is going to regret it, you and your family.” “ Twenty percent is nothing, Joana. In a year, we can liquidate it to nothing and you will be left with dust. Where will you go then?” Josiah said to me. I laughed at how clueless they all were. I won't blame them, I played my card well and I had been for years. “Josiah, when I'm done with your family, the twenty percent would be the only thing you will have,” I stated clearly with a smile. That joy they had when I walked in, was gone. “Why does it state here that you will be residing in the Thorson mansion? Is that why you are acting out?” Finn questioned as he burst into laughter. “You are divorcing me because you are some billionaire's whore? God! I am going to bring down the world around you,” “Hold your threat, you fucked up mummy's boy! You think you scare me? You don't!” I said to him with a fierce look. I took steps closer to him, feeling his hot breath slap against my face as he panted heavily. “Sign this and get it to the pack central hall by nine o'clock tomorrow. And I am nooone’s whore, I am going back home?” “Home? You are from the Genesis pack?” His brother asked. “None of you cared to know as you drown yourselves with alcohol and fake personalities. I have been part of you for five years and you never cared,” I said and gave them one last glance before heading for the door. I was just about to step out when Finn asked, “ Who are you really?” “My name is Joana Thorson and I am returning home to claim what's mine,” I announced with a smile and left them with their jaws dropped and eyes almost popping out of their socket.Joana's POV At that moment, everything seemed slow. My entire flashed before my eyes in a second and just when I thought that was the end of me, I heard a swoosh sound. It came past me like a gust of wind and the next thing I felt was the hot scorching burn from the wolf's blood. I looked up at it and there was an ax sticking on to its head. My heart skipped a beat as I glared at the image. Out of fear, perhaps. “Joana! Get out of the way,” Theo yelled out to me. His voice startled me into turning to his direction and beside him was Dire, whose hand was still stretched out from throwing the ax. “Are you going to sit on the floor all day?” Dire asked with a smirk. With a fast reflex, I hurried behind them as they conered the wolf to the edge of the woods. “I don't know who you are or what you think you are going to achieve from causing this much turmoil,” Dire spoke with a deep and steady voice that echoed over the lake. “But you made a mistake, you screwed over the wrong man,”
Joana's POV “What are we going to do?” Sasha asked as I stared at the vast space. My head was spinning with plans but none of them ended well for me or my company. “We are linked directly to this bombing, Lucien,” I said softly. “How is this possible?”“It's not. This particular bomb is not out on the market. The military had not yet signed it off,” Lucien replied. “Then what the hell is going on?” I growled angrily, punching the wall with frustration. “Nice hook,” Dire muttered from the doorway, causing us to react in shock. “Can you excuse us?” I gave a nod sign and they left the room leaving me alone with Dire who was looking healthier. He wasn't wearing a shirt, flexing his biceps and abs in my face. “Your company's bomb did this?” He asked in a subtle tone, his gaze was cold as I fidgeted in shock. “No…yes, I don't know for sure,” I responded, looking away from him. “Joana, it's a simple question. Is your company responsible for the bomb?” He asked, this time fiercer.
Joana's POV “What happened?” Sasha asked, noticing the confused expression on my face. I felt a chill run up my spine as my shaking hand clenched to my phone. “Something is wrong,” I muttered softly, almost like a whisper. “What did he say?” Lucien asked curiously. “Joana, what did he say?” “Something is going on!” I panicked and hurried out of the news house. I had no intention on going on live television, just intended on testing out his bluff. Lucien and Sasha followed behind me and without asking questions, they hopped in the car with me. I was driving towards his company when I got an incoming phone call. “Sasha,” “On it,” Sasha answered the call and placed it on speaker. “This is Joana, who is this?” “Luna Joana, this is Doctor Tim from your General Hospital on West,” The subtle voice responded. “What can I do for you Doctor Tim?” “If you can, please come down to the hospital. The alpha had just been admitted,” With brute force, I stepped on
Dire's POV“What are you going on about?” I asked, crossing my hands and staring at the furious expression on her face. “You know exactly what I am talking about, Dire. You announced me as your Luna to shut me up,” She answered spitefully. Seeing her angry and frustrated caused a smile on my face.“You saw lines where there aren't any Joana. And it's becoming very funny,” “Funny?” She asked with an angry stare. She reached into her bag and pulled out a brown envelope. “What's that?” I asked. “Open it,” I grabbed it from her and tore it open. It was a photograph of Oregon and a black SUV. “What is this?”She chuckled hysterically before lashing out, “Don't pretend like you don't know what that is. That's you collecting the same sniper used to kill Chris from Elder Oregon.” “Joana, why will I kill a worker I didn't know?” I asked with a smile, trying to hide the rage burning up within me. “I don't know but I have evidence that you cohorted with Oregon and then killed him before
Joana's POV My life had become a chess piece where all the pieces were moved with precaution and I had just lost an important piece. “Are you okay?” His icy voice asked from behind, causing me startle in shock. “Fine. Is something wrong?” “There is a news conference today and I will like you to be there,” He said calmly with his hands folded behind him. His expression was as clear as day. “I have a meeting,” “Cancel, I want you there,” He pressed on, turned around to leave. His attitude, his countenance just fueled an anger within me. “You won. You played me,” “What?” He asked with a smile. “Don't play mouse with me. You knew and you played me into your hand,” A smile beamed on his face, chuckling maniacally while facing me, “I did nothing. You are the one seeing me like a villain,” “You orchestrated it, made me fall for it.” “Joana, I did nothing,” He commented warmly. He was unphased as he spoke. “I need you at the conference,” He added before tu
Joana's POV“How is he doing this?” I asked myself but voiced out loud. Lucien and Sasha both looked confused, sitting in my office with their faces buried in files and documents. “He orchestrated it, he wanted you to push Curly and her associates out.” Lucien concluded with a tired expression. “But why? Why go through all those troubles to pull them out?” Sasha asked softly, staring at the documents for any clue she could find. Suddenly her face beamed with satisfaction as she slammed her hands on the desk“If you have something, say it. No need to be crazy,” Lucien remarked. “Fuck you Lucien!”“Been there, done that,” Lucien replied her with a smirk. “Sasha, ignore him,” I said to her, noticing that her face had began turning red with anger. “He is trying to reduce your networth,” Sasha said as she handed me a bill poster. “Your company is number one in the entire Western hemisphere. But you are currently the richest in the pack,”“Yeah, my family had always taken the number
