William was stuck now. And he had to make a quick decision within seconds. Carrying Anna bridal style, he ignored her making strange sounds in her sleep as much as he could, as he grabbed her bag from the floor.Then he went over to his Lamborghini sports car which he had picked out for today and opened the passenger door with a click of his car key, gently placing Anna on the car seat before he shut the door and walked over to the other side.“Baby,” Anna murmured in her sleep and he rolled his eyes at her, starting his ignition. Troublesome woman. Why the hell was he taking her to his place in the first place? He should be calling her husband or something to pick her up.Now that was an idea.Explain to the husband why he was carrying her and try to deal with the fact that another man had taken what was rightfully his to have.His hands tightened over the steering wheel.But he knew that it would be safer than just leaving her somewhere. It would also be more efficient.With a sharp

William didn’t expect to see his brother the next morning as he entered his office. He had returned to the company building earlier than the regular work time to finish up some things before he had to leave for the pack that evening to finish preparations for the full moon. His pack would be hosting delegates from the neighboring packs, least of all was the Eclipse Pack. He was far too busy to not come into work early.“What are you doing here?” Were the words right out of his mouth immediately he saw him seated on his chair behind his desk in his office.“I heard you were working late and came here to see you, brother. We haven’t seen each other in so long, what with work and all.” Ethan was dressed in an all black suit combination, his green eyes meeting William’s with a smirk.William considered himself a man of patience but every second he spent with his younger brother tested that patience a whole lot. Nevertheless he kept it inside, as he usually did. His mother favored his youn

William knew he was causing chaos as he said those words. But he didn’t care. If his mother wanted grandchildren, and Alpha Drake wanted to arrange a marriage, then there was one other member of the Hayes family that would be suited for it.With that, he walked away, ignoring two loud exclamations from the two conspirators. As he went to his bedroom, he thought over what he had just said.It was actually a solid plan, he realized. Ethan’s antics were becoming too much for him to defend. Perhaps marrying him to someone would cool down his more temperamental habits. He knew his mother wasn’t going to like the idea of her favorite son getting married off like that but he didn’t care. He was the Alpha and what he decides goes.He brushed away any lingering thoughts on what the decision might do for the relationship between the two packs. He doubted Alpha Drake was going to be so foolish as to try and start a war over which brother got married first, and even though he did, William knew th

“You say you recorded this tonight?” This was the third time her father had asked this question and this time, he looked even more weary. “It was noisy. It couldn’t have been…”Anna sighed inwardly, feeling frustration rise up. She had shown her father the video and still he was making excuses for Sophie. Typical.“Come on, dad. I didn’t even know she was going to be there in the first place. How could I have set this up for her? She said all of this and she said a lot more before then but this alone is pretty damning.” She paused, taking in her father’s reaction. She spied Andrew and Andrea busy watching the cartoons on TV.She had only been gone for about two hours and she was glad she eventually didn’t stay with Dylan as she had expected - through the night. Being with her children sounded like a better night than mingling in between musty smelling girls and guys grinding on each other.Tonight had been revealing for a lot of things, not just for Sophie and her horrible behavior an

“Thank you once again for your generosity and for hosting us, Alpha William.” The female delegate from the Golden Moon Pack said last, and William nodded, shaking her hand as well.Now that the full moon was over, the Alpha was glad to see the delegates off at the gate. And he was very much satisfied that his pack’s relationship with the neighboring packs was continuing on a positive note.However, that still left one pack - the Eclipse Pack, of which Alpha Drake was waiting in William’s home.The talks for the arranged marriage between Drake’s choice and Ethan was supposed to start today, and William was expecting the girl to be engaged to Ethan to show up soon.He went to his study, after returning from the gates, letting Drake and his mother talk at the breakfast table. Ethan was nowhere to be seen but that was just to be expected of his disdainful little brother.He busied himself with paperwork that he had put off for too long and organizing the rest of his monthly schedule while
