“So we are okay with the business proposal of the Dark Forest Pack right?” I asked Calvin as I skimmed through the contract in front of me.  “I have studied the legality of the business that they wanted to pursue. Though it may take longer before we would get the return on investment. Although it doesn’t matter because, in the long run, its stability will give us higher profits.” Calvin explained. “Also, they have been one of our best secret allies. The intel that they give us is all accurate and precise. By the way, I know that this might not be needed, but this business proposal is the gift of Alpha Reid to his mate. He just recently got married,” Calvin added as he shuffled the papers in front of him. “I was invited to that wedding right?” I said looking at him.

What would you do if the sacrifices that you made were actually worthless? What would you do if the person you thought you were saving is on his way to self-destruction? What would you do if the feelings that you tried so hard to hide are about to be exposed? I initially thought that speaking with Nikki would provide me with answers, but it did not. Instead, it just made me more confused and made my heart waver. In the short time that I had known Drake, all I have seen was a passionate, kind, understanding, and loyal leader. Every decision he makes was in the Pack’s best interest. He would listen to every explanation and make a just decision. He even allowed people like me, who is not a Pack member, to stay in his territory and even ensure my safety while I was staying there. This is the Drake I know. That is why I could not accept all the things that Nikki told me about him. The new Drake as she refers to. “I will take the back road,” Nicolo said, stopping me from overthinking. A

“You’re leaving?!” Sam shouted in disbelief, as he follow me around while I move some of the boxes in one corner. I thought I would have a quiet time as I clean my office inside my bar. But then he came. “I thought you are here to stay? I thought we would be together forever? Did I do something wrong?” “No, you didn’t,” I replied, “And we told you from the start that our stay here is just temporary.” I was not planning to tell Sam about us leaving until the last minute. But since I sold the bar to one of his friends, it was unavoidable. “Was it because I was pressuring you to pledge your loyalty to me? If that’s it I will stop. Please Athena, just don’t go.” Sam held me by the wrist making me look at him. It made me feel sad seeing the look he had in his eyes. I did not want to hurt him, and I know that I had been so clear with how I felt for him. He’s one of my best friends and that’s where it ends. I can't just offer anything more than that. “I’m sorry Sam, I really need to go,

I was in awe.I took a seat at one of the tables in the far corner with a perfect view of him. I know that the drinks that I initially bought were for to go, that’s why I ordered another one just so I can stay in the coffee shop. He was seated in the same spot that we once sat together. Maybe he was missing you, a voice at the back of my head whispered making me smile. My heart is pounding so fast inside of my chest. If it can produce a sound everyone would have been deaf because of how loud my emotions are right now.He drank his favorite coffee as he looks out of the window, Caramel Macchiato. I still remember how each syllable of his favorite drink sounded when he says it. I never knew a coffee flavor would sound so sexy. My eyes are glued to all the movemen

Life has a funny way of messing up with you at times. I am not sure if this was Karma in the works or was it just pure coincidence. Of all the people to meet it had to be him. It’s not that I don’t like to meet him, because I do. I was just not yet ready and it was too soon. I took a glance at Nori and I can see that he was as confused as I am. He approached us and ask the question that I wanted to ask but couldn’t.“Alpha, we are meeting Pete, he decided to sell this building to Athena so she could open her bar here,” Nori said. Drake turned and looked at him, I was surprised at the intensity of his stare but Nori didn’t budge nor looked like he was afraid. He stood there staring back at Drake with pure calmness. I look at them and I kinda miss the smiling and playful Nori. But ever since that night when he called out
