251. Jefferson's Rejection

~Jefferson Hoard~One leg stretched over the glass table, with the city lights glowing beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of my latest terrace apartment, I sip my glass of whiskey, enjoying the warmth and calm.The place is silent except for the faint jazz playing from the speakers inside.Then my phone vibrates.I glance at the screen, and it's my assistant, Mara.“Talk, Mara,” I tell her immediately I pick up the call.“Sir… there’s been an update regarding the Caesar Group contract.” She says slowly, and I instantly know it's not good news.“What about it?” I ask, fear already creeping into my voice.I can't afford to lose Caesar. A partnership with them is all I need to scale not just my business, but my life, future, and plans.Everything I want in life revolves around massive financial independence, and that is exactly what Caesar is going to give me.I have no plan to follow through to the end. All I need is to be awarded the contract, start the process, and get it to a reason

252. A Big announcement

I grit my teeth. Damn you, Allister Blackwaters. Dorian is right, and I hate that he’s right. Frustration claws through me violently, making me slam my fist against the marble table. “What do I do then?” I bark. “Sit around while he dismantles my plans piece by piece?” Dorian slowly reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone. “There might be something you can do.” I stare at him impatiently. “What?” He taps his phone screen a few times before walking toward me and handing it over. I look down, and a woman stares back at me from the screen. My lips part slightly in a smile “Well…” I murmur. “No official engagement announcement yet,” Dorian says, “but she’s been seen wearing his ring already.” I chuckle under my breath. Why didn’t I think of her immediately? “She’s the key,” I say, nodding, as I keep staring at her picture. Slowly, I head back to my seat and settle down, a smile now on my face. “It’s a shame they never got to finish that engagement party,” I murmur. “I

253. Grandma Regi, the defender

My mother frowns. She turns to Jess, who is as clueless as she is.I had told Jess we were paying a visit to my Mom, nothing else. So, Jess shakes her head, letting my mother know that she has no idea what announcement I want to make.Unable to hold it in, her curiosity getting the best of her, my mom asks, “What’s this announcement about?“It’s about Rhea, I’m going to punish her,” I state flatly.My mother’s eyes widen in surprise. “What? Allister, haven’t you punished her enough? You already sent her away to Grey Mark. Why punish her again? She made a mistake, right. But you can’t just keep subjecting her to such harsh punishment because of a single mistake.”“You wouldn’t say the same thing if you find out what she did this time,” I tell her.“What did she do that no one has ever done? What did she do that warrants your unforgiveness, Al?”“She’s working against Silver Valley Pack, mother.”My mother’s mouth falls open in shock. She stands up and takes several steps away from us.

254. Rhea's punishment2

My jaw tightens as I begin to speak, “Because,” I turn to Rhea and begin speaking.“Rhea, you coveted your adoptive brother, me. You set up Bullies, prominent medical doctors at the Medical Center, to bully Jess every single day of her life. You arranged with them to sexually harass her. You lied on her and tried to turn everyone against her, and when the plan didn’t work to your favor, you decided to meet with the enemy, Jefferson Hoard, and cause me harm on the night of my engagement. When that plan also ended up unsuccessfully, you had several meetings with Jefferson Hoard, making plans on how to launch a second attack on me. This time, you urged him to start the Hamit-Beta family because you want him to get rid of Jess. You’ve committed several unforgivable and heinous crimes, showing a blatant disregard for werewolf life. Why are you still feigning innocence and expecting leniency from this pack?”The revelation stuns Grandma Regi into horrified silence, her wolf recoiling as if

255. Grabbed

The previous week seems to have been the longest and busiest I've ever had. From Gracie’s childbirth to her reunion with the baby's parents, to me moving into a new space, and the shocking, chaotic revelation at the Blackwaters Pack house. Monday morning, I make my way to work. First, I make a quick stop to check on Gracie at the home where she’s staying. The home doesn’t have much of a parking space at its entrance, forcing me to use a public parking lot several blocks away from there. The public parking lot is located on an adjacent plane, which requires me to cross a busy main road to get to the home. I stand at the crosswalk, waiting for the traffic light to change. The morning rush hour fills the street with lots of drivers who are driving so recklessly that I had to move a bit into the pedestrian walkway. Suddenly, a powerful force slams into my back, Unprepared, I lunge forward uncontrollably into the busy street. Car horns blare at me from all angles, and several Drivers

256. Fate

The less muscular, but Bulky man beside me flashes his tobacco-stained teeth at me and tries to grab my hand. I react by scratching his face with my nails. “Bitch!” he growls as my hand shoots out, my fingernails scratching down his face. “Why the fuck didn’t Rick and his boys tie her up?” the driver groans. “Just fucking tie her up or something,” he adds. “We've got almost an hour's drive. She’s going to pop your eye out if you don't settle her up sooner.” There is a little silence between me and Mr. Bulky, where he's staring at me, waiting for my next move and I'm doing just the same. When the driver doesn’t hear anything from us, he cusses under his breath. “We’re almost at the clearing, tie her up, will you?!” the driver yells. “She’s just a-” Mr. Bulky starts to say just as I suck in a deep breath, harness my inner strength, and scream at the top of my fucking lungs. Shit, he hisses, his body dropping down on mine, straddling my chest, and slapping his hand over my mouth,

257. Taking a turn for the worse

It isn’t long, though, until I remember that I’m not the average woman. Which means I have to look at this whole situation as more than a snatch-and-grab kidnapping. See, these men said something about their Boss. Their boss... Who could possibly be their Boss? The only person who I think would want to kidnap me is Jefferson Hoard. Is it him? Did he send these men after me? But Allister had everything under control. How can he comfortably break into Silver Valley to kidnap me? Oh my goddess, this is definitely getting crazy. A low, pathetic whimper escapes me. It can't be him. Allister has his men monitoring the man. So, he can't possibly pull this off with such ease. Frustrated tears burn my eyes. Because there is nothing I can do. I’m gagged and bound. And there are two of them, and the men look armed. There is no way out of this for me. Except, maybe when the van stops. Maybe I can possibly make a run for it. These guys are huge; big muscle and big body. Unlike the on

258. Woman beater

I take a deep breath and turn forward to look at the unfamiliar road in front of me.I do not know this man, but it seems like he’s the Boss that is being talked about.He doesn’t look like the kind of man anybody should take for granted, and I’m more than scared for my life, especially with the realization that my wolf, Arina, might not be able to help me if things turn out badly.So, ignoring the man’s silent warning, I pull at the car door, and just as I expected, it’s locked.I turn to see him staring at me. He sighs and shakes his head regrettably before turning to face the road.A muffled scream rises from me, followed by hot tears. When I turn to my pursuer/captor, I note his nonchalant attitude towards my cries, and I begin to think of the best way to get his full attention.I need to engage him in a conversation. That might help my predicament. Engaging him might allow me to know what he thinks, and that will also give me time to analyze and consider my next line of action.W

259. My Captor

My Captor knocks and pushes the door to the room I was left in open.Stepping inside. He meets me seated on the bed, wiping my bleeding nose with the hem of my dress.I don’t know why my nose is bleeding, but I swear it just isn’t stopping. It could be from the nonstop exposure to Wolfbane gas that I've suffered for hours. Maybe I've fallen sick.I’m almost unable to feel Arina at this point, and that alone scares me. What the hell are these people doing to me?Why are they pumping me with Wolfbane gas?My eyes are teary, yet I manage to keep them sharp as I stare at the man in silent challenge.He stares back at me, and when he doesn't back down, I hiss loudly."You look terrible," He says. "You shouldn't have tried running away again." He closes the door gently and steps in. "I don't know if it's plain stupidity or you just want to die.""Ple.... Please, what do you want?" I ask him, my voice sore from crying."Why do you always have that face whenever you see me?" the man asks. "Yo

260. My Wolf

When I got out of the bathroom, the contents in the shopping bag ‘C’ handed over to me have been emptied on the bed.A matching shoe is placed at the bottom of the bed, alongside a mirror and basic makeup with a moisturizer.Someone came inside the room while I was in the shower.Who? I have no idea.I’m still trying to understand how I'll be able to wear the laid-up items with a bound hand when the door opens up and an older woman in a maid uniform steps in.Right behind her is a stoic guard, heavily armed and looking anything but friendly.I’m completely naked, and for some reason, this guard doesn’t care. Well, it helps that he isn’t even looking at me.The maid greets me and hurries to me with a large towel, which she wraps around my naked body.Then she pulls out a pair of scissors from her apron and cuts the tapes used to bind my hands.Since I only stepped under the running shower after managing to open and close the tap with my teeth, I’m unable to thoroughly clean myself becau
