Jennita's pov Flashback**“Jennita Bell, you will never be loved!” It stung. I've been hurled insults much worse than this all the years of middle school, High school, yet, I couldn't tell why this hurt me so much. Maybe because it was coming from my sister. “Antonio will love me.” Holding back my lower trembling lips, I snap back at her with a much firmer voice. Out in the open of our empty living room space, we stood facing each other. The car waiting to take Alessandra to the airport was waiting outside, and at my words, I watched her grip around the handle of her suitcase tighten. “We both know who was his first choice, don't forget that. You're only a liability to him– a substitute.” I closed my eyes, feeling the tears burn, feeling Tasha itching to shift and run, to run away from her, from hearing any more hurtful words. “Antonio will… “ “Of course, back to Antonio again,” she claps her hands, chuckling with mirth in her eyes. “Obviously you'd think he loves you, he's

Antonio's pov I was never fond of aged whiskey and the scent lingered thick in the office, mingling with the tension amongst us; choking, suffocating silence. Back on my seat, I glared at the Alpha across the table, greedily filling his cup with the drink from the bottle of whiskey. Forming an alliance with him was something I never dwelled on, but depending on how useful he proves to be tonight, I might be tempted to renew my interest. “Let me get this straight, Gregor,” I coldly utter, eyes narrowed with a voice calm but laced with steel. “You’ve had a mole in his pack for how long?”He smirked, downing a cup in go before rewarding me a flash of his teeth that bordered on insolence. I gritted mine, half glaring at Malcolm who stood behind my seat. It was a cue to let him know that at some point, I will not be entertaining a pig in my office any longer. “Long enough to gather what you’ll find very, very much... enlightening,” The gleam in his eyes is annoying. From my side vi

Jamal's pov (The same morning) With one leg crossed over the other; my left ankle sitting across my right knee, I leaned back in my chair, surveying the buzzing boardroom. My P.A. stands behind me, nervously scribbling down whatever she deems fit to write on her iPad. From where I sit, I can hear her heartbeat pulsating hard and fast. It's the same for everyone in the room, except, as usual, rather than tell me what the fuck is going on, they're all avoiding contact, murmuring discussions I can clearly hear. Humans. I sneer, a glint of crimson red overshadowing my pupils before It disappears just before one of them realizes I was ready for the meeting and signalled everyone to keep silent. My blazer hangs behind my chair which I lean back from, grabbing hold of a pen before leaning back, casually flipping it around my fingers, testing its fluidity and flexibility to keep my brain busy and working. Sometimes it was nerving listening to them jitter so I needed something to distrac

Jennita's pov Antonio was hereEven before we walked into the restaurant, the sinking feeling settling in my stomach, my nostrils filled with the scent of him, Tasha purring and whimpering- it was a dead give away to his presence. I could be wrong. I ignored the perturbing feelings and kept my expression neutral as we walked in, my eyes betraying my feigned nonchalance by travelling around the place. And there he was. Like a magnet, my gaze was instantly drawn to him, our eyes locking the moment the glass doors shut behind us. He was sitting by the window at the end of the room, looking completely unbothered, a glass of red wine in his hand. His piercing teal colored eyes locked intensely onto mine, and for a second, it was like the whole room went still. For that brief second, his gaze subtly glanced over me, taking note of my neckline before plunging lower to drink in my curves- like he was savoring it. Goddess... Those eyes- dark and demanding as they looked now, reminded m

Jennita’s pov“Jennita, no one saw us.” Antonio sighed for the nth time as he swerved to the right, beating the traffic, while narrowly almost taking the life of a by-passer who audibly cursed at us. “No? What happens when Jamal discovers you took me to Dark Riser’s pack? He doesn’t know now. But he’s bound to find out. Did you think of that before dragging me along like some stuffed doll? I swear, Antonio...”“It was an emergency. Brenda needed you urgently, and I offered to help.” There was the snarky smirk on his face, as usual, looking unbothered about the situation as he increased his pace. I had no words. I could only sit back and buckle my seatbelt while hoping Brenda was still okay until we arrived. I would be grateful for Antonio’s help, but the only emotion he deserved from me was raw, burning hatred. Not even anger. I wouldn’t let him acknowledge that he had that much effect on me. Silence ensued in the car for a while. Soon, Jamal’s call came in. I bit my lower lip, sta
