~Bella~At the sight of Kid Rover walking into our office, Maggie gasped and fell into a dead faint.I screamed and ran towards her. "Maggie! Maggie!" I cried, shaking her incessantly.I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Excuse me," the person said.I looked up to see Miss Irene standing over me, looking as cool as a cucumber."Let us handle this. We're used to things like this happening," she said.I nodded and moved back. Of course, they were probably used to women everywhere fainting at the sight of the pop star.She signaled to one of their accomplices, a young girl no older than eighteen in big glasses and an oversized sweater.She hurried over and whipped out a bottle of smelling salts from her bag. She promptly shoved it under Maggie's nose.My friend jerked awake. "Holy shit!" she exclaimed.I grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her. "Maggie, are you okay?""I'll be okay if you stop jerking me around," she wheezed."Oh, sorry." I let her go. "I'm so sorry about this," I said to K

~ Nikolai ~I stood behind my mate, watching proudly as she took charge of the meeting again without missing a bit.My blood was still boiling with anger at the nasty things that stupid man had said to her.I'd instantly seen her reaction to it. Her face had fallen, and her confidence with it.In a surge of protectiveness, I'd found myself jumping to her defence.But now, she'd taken control again and was handling the meeting like a pro. I felt a wave of pride well up inside me. 'That's my girl! That's my mate!' it sang."Reading through the contracts, I can admit that we are in a tough position here. The terms of the contract mean that you own not only his music catalogue but also his likeness," she was saying."It's a good thing that you know that," the woman on the other team said. The man took over again;"Since Mr Hall has signed that contract, he is bound by it. We only came for this meeting out of formality. He has no choice but to either stay with us or leave the name Kid Ro

~ Bella ~For moments after Alpha Nikolai left the room, I remained curled up against the wall, crying.I couldn't for the life of me figure out what had led to such a drastic change in Alpha Nikolai's mood.One second he was smiling, telling me he was impressed. The next second he was punching a hole in the office wall. My ear was still ringing from the loud crash. I brushed the plaster from my hair.'I can't believe that I was actually warming up to him. He is a monster! A monster!'Tears streamed down my face in torrents. My body still shook slightly from the fear and adrenaline rush.Honestly, I'd thought he would kill me right then and there. That moment where his fist flew towards my head... his eyes had actually glowed red. If he'd hit my head, my brains would be all over the floor right now, no doubt.How could a person be that strong? He could have easily crushed my skull with his fist!It was a brutal reminder that the person I was dealing with was not human. He was an a

~ Bella ~"What did she do this time by the way?" Maggie asked.I gave her a quick rundown of my encounter with Mrs Meyer at Parker's office earlier.Maggie threw her head back and laughed. "You have to give it up to her though. She really takes her job as your arch nemesis very seriously!""Well, I'm going to teach her a good lesson this time again. I guess she didn't learn her lesson last time. Remember how it went?" I asked, snickering.Maggie doubled over laughing, tears gathering at the corner of her eyes. "Girl, how could I forget?"The last time we'd decided to 'teach Mrs Meyer a lesson', I'd come up with an elaborately delicious plan.Maggie and I had enlisted the help of an old friend from back home to place a call to Mrs Meyer while we listened from the door. Even though we only got to hear one side of the conversation, it was highly rewarding.It'd gone something like this;"...Hello?" *Pause "...Yes, this is the office of Parker Smith." *Pause "...I am his secretary, Mrs

~ Bella ~"So here's the load down," I started. "Mr Charles Darl was an employee of Suave Accounting firm. He was dismissed three months ago as a result of an accounting mistake that resulted in a loss of $100,000."Alpha Nikolai nodded. He was listening so abruptly that I was actually surprised. I could almost think he was actually interested and not just trying to make my life more difficult by insisting on being involved in the case.When he'd said, "So where do we start?" earlier, I'd immediately started trying to convince him to trust me to do it on my own.I practically swore that I would get back to him later with all the details but he'd refused vehemently.So here we were. Sigh! At least he was listening."Now the thing is Mr Darl claimed it was an accounting error but the company suspected otherwise," I continued."A case of fraud?" he asked."Exactly!" I nodded. I gave him a smile to show I was pleased. "However, they couldn't find any concrete evidence to tie him to the c
