A call interrupted my thoughts and I saw the caller ID,my heart thumped hard against my chest.I didn't know if was ready to face me, if was left alone I would stay here forever and avoid all calls that remind me of a past I'm trying to forget."Hey dad." I said feigning surprise and a tinge of excitement upon picking up the call.Although I had let it ring a few more times though, I could almost feel his emotions swirling wherever he was and it was because of his thoughts of my whereaboutsI still kinda felt guilty of a sort, it being like three years now and hadn't heard from dad. The last time I called was to ask of something relating to business as he was a guru at that.Maybe because I didn't want him to hear Damien's screams and tantrums or I was avoiding home so I wouldn't run dad's company and lately so I don't meet Darren.During the period I carried Damien and after that year I had not heard or tried to call, and it seemed as though I never cared for his well being, and now

Darren's POVSitting at a chair in my study, my eyes were glued to the screen of my laptop.I was searching for help. I would call it so, cause what I was doing was no way close to being business related, my company had fallen ; more likely to crumble down in pieces.I had no funds to raise it back to its feet, everything about the company had depreciated.I lost so many potential clients over the years, partners had being withdrawn, as my shareholders sold their shares, abandoning the company.I was left to my own frustration as no one tried to help, none of my business colleagues gave a hand, not even the ones I'd help in the past.The elders of the pack had loose hope in me as they regretted the fact if ever making me an alpha.Mom on the other hand barely visited, she remained mad at me for the accusations I had fired on her. I remembered the day she had taunted me; she accused me of my own misfortunes and said I had no one to blame other than myself.Vivian on the other hand alwa

I wish all this was the truth, but then this was an act, a fiasco to make everyone here believe that we were couples."So what sort of business did you two run in the US?" Father asked."I am executive director of the De Coasta firm." I replied with smiles as dad wore a surprised expressed as he gasped."Is there a problem dad?" I asked staring at his shocked expression. I wondered if I said something bad."T...thats the rivalry firm I once complained to you about; saying the bought the auctioning stocks with a higher bet that my company couldn't afford to." Je explained."Really Dad, wow this is a coincidence, I mean I was responsible for buying those stocks as I recommended it to the company." I said amusedly."I'm proud of you dear, you've really made me proud." Dad said as I smiled." and for that reason, I'm well convinced that you'll be able to manage my own company." He said as I stared at him in anticipation of what he'd utter next."And that is why I would be making you the n

"Who at you looking for ?" He asked."I am.""I know you are Darren Thane, the alpha of the shadow pack." He cut me off as I nodded."So what do you want?" He asked."I came to see the CEO, it's business related." I explained."What sort of business?" He asked."I...I wanted a sponsorship." I replied."It'll cause you tons of million." he replied.His words got me thinking, I had no penny on me more less a million, I had come for help not to bargain on business deals worth millions."Is there not a lesser budget?" I asked in a low tune as he shook his head."You're a business man, I'm I right?" He asked as I nodded."Then you should know how this things works." He said."I understand, but then I don't have that much to offer." I replied as I saw the frown in dancing around his face."If you dont have that much, why did you come for a sponsorship, you know you can't get it lesser than that, or talk more of even having it for free." He said and turned his gaze back to the laptop in fron

Jason was somehow an angel, he was able to soothe me when I was sad, calm me down when I waa angry and made me smile when I was doleful.Most times I had wished we were indeed real couples, then I'd forever be happy, but then he made it clear that he had no interest in me and I had to respect his decision and not try to impose or implore him of starting a relationship with me."T..thank you." I muttered as he nodded."Promise me that you'll be strong I not let your emotions get the best of you. " he asked as I nodded and then he smiled at me, I replied him with the same smileDarren's POVI came back home with my beta as I held him back before he could move out I the car."Did you notice something with the new CEO?" I asked as Carl stared at me bluntly."What do you think?" He asked."She looks familiar." I said, unsure of what to think."Do you feel any connection?" My beta asked."Yes, I did, my wolf made me feel a familiar connection, but I wasn't that certain." I said as Carl sta
