Ken stood up and walked towards the fire place. He pressed a button and out came a small drawer. He picked out a cigarette, lighted it using the lit fire place. “Where is she?” Ken questioned, facing the roof, exhaling a cloud of smoke. “I’m sorry boss.” Ben pleaded, going on his knees. “She…she got away, I’m sorry boss.” Ben stammered. “You’re sorry?” Ken questioned, facing him and giving Ben a harsh look. Ken turned backing him, “you know I have zero tolerance for failures but as a close and trusted friend I forgive you." He spoke, his cigarette in his mouth, hands backwards.

Ruby tried explaining-but with the way things were, nick looked totally confused. "Ok, boy. That's enough. However, I actually came here to warn you. You have three supernatural powers which you inherited from me. I am a very great grandma of yours. I'm in the seventeenth line of your family generation. I know you may not understand. But however, your powers are: one-the ability to see ghosts. Two- you have a special word which you can say anytime to get out of trouble but you will later get to know the word as you grow. And three- I wouldn't tell you now. You might disclose it to other people. And like I said, you will get to know it as you grow."

I stood up and Emily started the presentation with the maps as I explained where the border used to be and where it was now. “I can’t do anything with that piece of property until Eli stops his incessant complaining. My people won’t be safe there until this matter is completely put to bed. Now, I see he didn’t come to the meeting today, which is very disappointing, but then again, my mate did put him in his place properly.” They laughed with me. “But I do need a final decision. I need a final declaration that will stop this continued fighting over that piece of land. If the council feels it would be better for me to just give it back and get it over with, I will do as the council decides.” I

Kalis POV After we talked for a while and we got to hear what had happened all those years ago. Rylin and Amy went off into her rouge house. Which should really be a pack house honestly. She had more numbers than any of us. It was amazing at what she's done for a run away Alpha. She did what felt right in her heart and that's something that everyone should do. I wonder if everyone would be okay if I just became a rouge with her. I don't want to fight Cage. I don't want to be Alpha. I just want to be myself. There's to much responsibility that comes with being me and I don't want any part of it. Just because it was born to me doesn't mean I have to become the person they've all dreamed me to

ZURI POV Happiness is coursing through my body like a drug. Fiadh, Krystal, and I are the only ones left. Some groups haven't even had a female chosen yet. I can't believe we were all scared about not getting chosen. "Captain Maxim, please select your female," the announcer says and I watch as another orange giant from Bronkark steps out of line. He heads for the Hassin females and holds out his hand toward Ceenu. "Ceenu of Hassin, please accept my hand," the rather quiet male says and the metallic beauty beams at him.

“I’m sorry sir, but I do not think I owe you an answer to that question. She is my friend and I am taking her to a safe place because she is drunk.” Sebastian moved closer to us. “Who knows if she is the only one who thinks about you as her friend and you probably have an ulterior motive.” He stated and grabbed my other hand. “She is drunk like you said, and that is the exact reason she should be with me and not you.” “And why is that?” “Because..because…she is..because I think so.” Edie scoffed. “It’s even so difficult for you to say that word, sir.” He shook his head. “Please, step aside as I have to help my friend who is in need.” He added and pulled Sebastian’s hand away from mine.

I leaned forward, resting my forearms on the desk. “The terms will be non-negotiable,” I told her. “We get final say and final interpretation on everything. Are you aware of that ?” Billie nodded. “Yes and I accept.” Silas watched her for a long moment. “We’ll give you our decision in the morning.”He said. She gave a small, respectful nod, then turned and walked out of the office, closing the door softly behind her. The moment she was gone, I looked at the others. “What do you think?”

Eli and Riley woke up from their night of celebrating and got dressed and packed up to head home. The cars would be here in an hour to take them back home. Riley couldn't wait but was nervous for the ride home as once again, she had been sick this morning. Eli didn't leave her side as she was ill, and Riley couldn't have been more appreciative of his commitment to her. Eli would make the perfect mate and father to their pup. Despite his reputation and past, he had really taken on the leadership role of Alpha. He was proving his worth. Riley just couldn't believe how fast their love story was evolving.

Angela's smile faltered a little. "My P.A must have forgot extending invitation to you. I apologize on her behalf. But as far the collaboration is concerned...I am afraid I don't think it will be benefecial for my company. You don't really have a best reputation in business, Mr. Aicher," Angela replied as nicely as she could. Her statement brought forth a hint of venom in his eyes.

"dame una m*****a razón por la que debería invertir en tu producto," Killian asked, leaning back in his chair like a king. Even though he already had made up his mind to invest in their product, he wanted to know their vision. The description sounded promising. He preferred investing in growing companies, the newbies who can go to any extent to prove their worth. (Give me one damn reason why should I invest in your product?) The delegates gulped and exchanged a nervous look with each other. His scrutinizing eyes and powerful aura were slowly robbing them of their confidence. However, one of them took the lead to talk him into signing the deal.
