It was a cold and rainy November night. Leah could not believe the events that had just transpired and she continuously walked around in the dark aimlessly. No real sense of where she was going or of the time, but she was numb. Numb to her emotions, her family, the person whom she thought loved her, whom she loved back; it was all a lie. They couldn’t wait to betray her but, in the end, they still tried blaming her. How dare they?! Why did they?! No matter how much she hurt, she couldn’t find herself caring about the reasons. She just had to get away from them and tend to her aching heart; so, she alighted the mansion without any cares about her own well-being. She didn’t care if she was going to become sick from the November cold or the unexpected rain, she didn’t know how else to deal with the emotions and the emptiness that she now felt lingering in her broken heart. The more she walked, the more that the rain and her tears stained her delicate cheeks. Puffy from crying so much, h

She moved around some other shops until she was satisfied with her choices. Afterwards, she made her way back to her room and locked the door behind her. From there, she made her way to the bathroom and took a shower. Leah stayed in the shower quite a while; she felt like she needed this hot shower. In a weird way, she felt all of her pain melt away briefly. She washed her hair, her face and her body, of course. After being in the shower for what felt like an hour, Leah grabbed her towel and walked out into the bedroom and put on some lotion. She sat down on the king-sized bed and thought for a minute. It was now 230 in the morning. She pulled her long black hair into a soft bun and walked into the kitchen as she was hungry. Since it was a suite, they had a few things available to her, otherwise, she would have to order room service. When that thought occurred to her, she sighed softly and walked to the phone near the couch. Picking up the phone, she dialed the number for the front d

“You’ve already done more for me than I could’ve possibly asked for. I’m grateful for that; not many people would have done that Mr. Gray. I’m pretty sure you have some place to be as well and based off of the suit you’re wearing, you’re an important and busy man. Please, don’t allow me to be a hindrance in your business matters.” With a gentle tone, Derreck replied to her. “Miss Jackson, respectfully, I am offering to take you to your place of work. If you do not want me to accompany you, I can have someone come and get you instead of you finding other ways of getting there. Besides, it’s basically impossible to hail a cab here.” Leah revealed a grim expression. He was right; this was the upper echelon and there were NO cabs or any form of travel service around. She looked up at the man who had helped her on more than one occasion now, and responded gratefully and gracefully. “Then I’m afraid I will have to trouble you once again, Mr. Gray.” He let go of her wrist and nodded to

He sat on the chair across from her and looked into her deep blue eyes while asking his questions. “How old are you?”“24. You?”“26. What’s your favorite color?”“Purple. Yours?“Blue. Favorite thing to do in your pastime?”“Read. Give me something more complex. You?”“Playing golf like an old ass man with my buddies or going to one of the private rooms at the lounge nearby.”“Interesting. How long have you been in business?”“Since I was 19. How about you?”“Same. At the time, my dad told me that I would take over Jackson Industries. It’s the one thing I wanted more than anything. For 2 years, it was mine, until Brigette forced her way into the company. After that, it felt like a competition with her. We’re sisters, well half-sisters, but sisters nonetheless. It’s hard not to fight or be in competition with your sister and we’ve been at each other’s throats all our lives. I always got the short end of the stick. Anyway, how has work been for you?“Well, I only have a younger brothe

Hartley let out a chuckle.“Slow down son. It means that I can retire as Alpha. And yes, that means that you’re the Alpha now. But not just of any pack, the Purple Moon Pack. Your Grandfather has wanted you to know about your identity since your 18th birthday.”“Most wolves turn on their first full moon after they turn 21, however, you didn’t. I figured that you never would, but we also came to realize that it was because you didn’t grow up knowing, nor did you grow up with the pack. The reason you feel for her the way that you do, is because you’ve found your mate!”“My what now?”“Your mate and without even looking for her! Once you find your fated mate, your wolf instincts take over and become very dominant and aggressive in nature in wanting to protect your counterpart. You’ll have to go through training to be able to summon your wolf.”“Once summoned, he lives in you and he will do what’s necessary to protect her, while being an Alpha. A bit of a warning Derreck, don’t be pushy a
