EmmaAndrew’s eyes landed on mine. For a while, the room went silent. We both didn’t move and remained staring at each other.Smirking, he walked inside and scanned around. He looked like an inspector with the way he was checking everything. The chairs, tables, bulletin boards, everything. He walked confidently like he had been in the place multiple times despite entering here for the first time. I took a deep breath and realized something. Five years had passed and Andrew was still the same. He was entitled, arrogant and insensitive. He still moved like the world owed him everything life has to offer. In his eyes, the world revolved around him. But not in my world. Not inside Medcare Pharma. I stood straighter and stepped in front of Jenna and her team. It was my way of telling them I would protect them from anything stupid Andrew might do. They were inside my territory, it was only proper I protect them. I tried to steady my nerves as I talked to Andrew. “You’re interrupting so

Andrew I walked out of the building without looking back. People from the Medcare Pharma building were giving me the looks but I didn’t care. To hell with them and everyone in it! I got into my car and closed the door hard. It made a loud sound and turned on the engine. I wanted no time going home. After all, I already got what I came here for. It was up to Emma whether to do the right thing or not. What I wanted at this point was to go home and rest. With all the things that happened these past few days, I suddenly feel the exhaustion now.. But my plan to get home as soon as possible was put on hold because of an unexpected road fix. Really? It really happened today, of all days? I cursed and turned around. I had no choice but to take an alternate route. Although it was one that was twice as long as the road I needed to take. I had no choice, did I? The road in front of me was long and empty. It turned slowly between the trees. There were a few signs and fewer cars on the

EmmaI could hear nothing aside from the ticking clock and the pounding of my own heart. The room was filled with silence. I was sitting on the single couch fidgeting my fingers. Each beat of my heart forced the air inside my lungs. Any minute now, I’ll be out wearing a different person. “Did I really make it?” I whispered under my breath, shaking my legs. It still felt unreal. It’s like a wild dream manifested into reality. Everything shifted into reality in a swift time. I was only daydreaming about this moment years ago. Crestwood City… where all shattered pieces of myself were scattered publicly. The very place that pushed me to go beyond my limits was now acknowledging my presence. The years went back flashing in my head. The miseries I carried along with me were slowly fading away. I climbed into the ladder of prosperity and power. From nothing, I built myself brick by brick into something. I could barely recognize myself now. Today, I was going out there, in public, as

EmmaAfter a few minutes of pause, the crowd went wild. “There’s no way he’s telling the truth!”“Yes! How could the Lycan King work with someone like him?” “Impossible. He is just bluffing!” But Andrew proudly faced them. He was grinning like he had already won the moment. “What? Was it really hard to accept that the Lycan King was backing me up?” The crowd whispered to each other. Now, the attention was glued to him. I couldn’t believe it either. It was something I never anticipated. Jenna suddenly stood by my side, giving me a worried look. The crowd was storming around Andrew’s group. They weren’t impressed with Andrew’s bold declaration. “Do you understand how much trouble you’ll get into by using the Lycan King’s name?” “That’s right!” Another one pointed his finger at him. “You can’t easily fool us.” Andrew turned around and gave a short glance. Then he suddenly winked mockingly. Like he was saying not to turn away my ears for something was about to be unfolded. “I s

EmmaLoud gasps filled the place. I mean, anyone’s jaw would drop seeing any male wolf hitting a she-wolf in public. Especially someone who represented the Lycos Kingdom like Messenger Larry Birch. Jessica looked surprised for a second but quickly smiled like she approved of what had happened. Meanwhile, Andrew didn’t flinch. He seemed like he expected this to happen. The VIPs who were with them looked entertained. “Serves her right!”“It was about time she was put to her rightful place.”“Deserved!”On my side, the new VIPs were speechless. Jenna grabbed my arm while Ara looked extremely worried.I turned to Larry and observed his expression. His jaw tightened as he stared at me like he was ready to hit me again. “I don’t know where you get such courage. But it wouldn’t work on the King’s power. Now, apologize.”Apologize? He must be out of his mind. That was the last thing I would ever do. I would rather take a few more hits than lower myself in front of that werewolf.My heart w
