Lahat ng Kabanata ng RETURN OF THE WHITE SHE WOLF : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

SIENNAOnce we left Hillview, the ride back home was quiet, save for the Bella's relentless tapping of her tablet. I didn't mind it though as I was still basking in the reaction I got out of Sienna at the end. The look of anger, annoyance and hatred in her eyes was one that would grace my thoughts for a long while. I never intended to be nice to her even if we have a business relationship, and I'm glad she thinks the same way. She and Sebastian ran me out of my marriage and literally made the country unbearable to live in. They ruined many years of my life and made me into a sort of guinea pig for their own benefits. I wasn't even going to remotely pretend that all of those never happened. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I missed the moment the tapping stopped, until Bella's voice dragged me out of it. "I had the assumption that you had history with Alpha Stone and his mate, but it seems things were a lot more intimate than I thought."I turned my attention to her and gav

ATHENA A week off work was a lot more strenuous than I thought it'd be. I felt so idle. Bella wouldn't even let me design and she coddled me like a child. I can't say I dislike it but it can be frustrating when all I've known for the past five years was almost relentless work. Despite all of my wealth, I can't remember the time I took a week long break from work. Such was the consequences of being so highly sought after and also being solely responsible for all of the company's designs as well as the promise of customization unique to each customer. My hand itched to draw, even though I would ultimately be working on Sienna's piece. A woman I can't bring myself to like. I groaned for the umpteenth time as I laid in bed in my red, satin nightgown. It barely covered my thighs and it was quite loose around the bust which was quite comfortable. With nothing to do, I had taken to being a recluse quite quickly. I spent quite a while in my room, barely explored my own home and

SEBASTIAN The day has been quite slow. One filled with a blur of words and numbers as I read through documents and approved contracts. It was quite tiring to deal with. In fact, it was my least favourite part of being successful. With a sigh, I leaned back away from the computer screen and let out an exhausted sigh. Business have been great lately, especially since it was made public that I had been able to pull Valerian's CEO into Dradesvow for a more personal attention to my mating ceremony's jewelry. A lot of people have tried to get in contact with her through me, especially those who are hoping to establish a more intimate connection with her. Now that I think about it, I've been very hostile to those ones who desire intimacy with her. I know I shouldn't be trying to keep them away from her. If Athena heard of this, she'd say I had no rights over her and no right to act like I did, but so what? I can't excuse the fact that I failed her, but I also can't deny the fact that

ATHENAThe drive to the office was one that I thoroughly enjoyed. Bella had gone ahead earlier than me to get things ready and adjust my schedule for the day. I suddenly realised how much I've missed being able to enjoy my time on drives alone. When I left Dradesvow, all I could do was spend time alone as I was too busy to make friends or connections outside business and that meant a lot of alone time to study. We soon arrived at the office building, a massive structure with a showroom spanning through the entire bottom floor, offices on the second and third floors, a smaller but more expensive showroom on the fifth floor, and mine and Bella's office on the entire sixth floor. I noticed a small crowd at the entrance. They were trying to be discreet but it was obvious that they were failing at it. Some sat on benches around with their jackets draped over something I suspect was a camera, others tried fooling themselves like they were leisurely strolling around except for the fact t

SIENNAThe mansion bustled with activity as I hustled to get everything in order. The maids cleaned the halls even harder than they usually did. They decorated as lavishly as they could. They cooked the best meals with the utmost effort. In a matter of hours, the mansion had been completely transformed. Now, it truly looked and felt like a palace worthy of royalty. One would assume we were getting ready for a ball or for some important event, but they'd be quite distant from the truth. The reason was a lot more petty than that. Athena was coming over. I personally requested that she came over. I needed to show her that I am a better Luna than she ever was in all aspects of the word. I wanted to see the jealousy in her eyes. I wanted to see that expression of defeat in her eyes, and I was ready to work hard for it. My assistant, Rachel, hurried over to my side as I yelled at a pair of sluggish maids. "The Alpha has arrived," she informed me. I grinned at that word and hurried
