Benji Applebaum Novels & Stories

I cleared my throat loudly. "Oh, I'm sorry. Jevan this is Ben. Ben, this is Jevan," Adobi introduced which was of a poor taste coming from her. Something wasn't right. "Hi, I'm Benjamin but everyone calls me Ben," Ben said, reaching out his hand. I shook it. Ben was an inch shorter than I was but his body-built made him look powerful. I could tell he work out. His complexion and skin reminded me of when I used to melt dark chocolate when I was a teen.

"Clancy's grandson bought that mansion over on Bakersridge." "What nonsense are you saying? The man's a biker; for heaven's sake, where would he get that kind of money?" Natalie took a sip of the water the waitress had placed in front of her as she savored the look on Jen's face. Oh, this was going to be good.

She was happily playing with Julianne, busy browsing the library. After making sure she had breakfast, I navigated my way to Marcus’ office. Isaac had informed me that his office was shifted because now Marcus did not operate from the alpha’s office. I had the urge to visit that office once but decided that I will do so when Isaac returns. I stand at the doorway for a while and observe the Renaud pack’s beta. He seems overworked. “Can I come in?” I ask. Marcus looks up and smiles while continuing to work. “How are you?” I ask him as I enter the office, his new office.

“Not really. I used to have my own bicycle but Benjie broke it last week and my parents don’t have enough money to pay for another one.” “Who’s Benjie?” “Benjamin Arlington, he’s a tall and really muscular guy. He’s the team captain of the school’s baseball team. No one fucks with him because not only that he’s friends with Reggie, the son of the richest man in town, his girlfriend Ysabella is the daughter of the mayor.” “Wow, so he’s the top dog then.”

He suggested. “Nah, I’m exhausted.” “Oh come on Arthur Murray, we all know you aren’t one to get tired that easily or even shy away from a challenge. What would you tell your people when they hear their Alpha refused a fight from a mere person like me?” Dennis pushed further. He knew I hated for my ego to be trampled on. “Go on, use me. Use me and cool off the steam. I know you are craving for a real fight and not some training equipment.”

“This will hit differently.” He uncorked it and poured a bit into my glass. I coughed after the first gulp; the fiery liquor went down harshly, burning my throat and setting my chest on fire. “What is this shit?” “Emberston Whiskey,” Benji grinned proudly. “Mad shit. My very own concoction.” “Get off this stuff.” I angled my head at him. “Let tonight be the last night you drink this.” Benji sighed, and his temperament shifted into sadness. “Jakub left with Mercedes and an Alpha. If I have to think too hard about what they might be doing, I might kill somebody.” He held the glass a little higher, stirring it a bit. “This helps, Alpha.”

his temper was building. “Grace said you agreed.” “I had enough of that woman and her meddling.” Aaron reached for his phone. He punched in a number now listening as the phone start to ring. As he sits there the knowledge sizzles throughout him that he doesn’t trust his family. Where are you? His mind screams silently. “Hello Benji Bloom Consulting Services.” Benji suppresses an instinctive giggle. “Morning, my name is Aaron Casey. I am looking for an efficient personal assistant.”

she explained. Seeing that Benji didn't talk, Jessamine continued introducing in detail, "He's 28 years old, six feet two inches, 165 pounds, and graduated from an arts college in Zenville. He lives at Lakeview Apartment at Block 6, Unit 120. His phone number is …" "Stop. Stop. Stop." Benji couldn't bear to listen anymore. Jessamine looked like she was reciting information from a matchmaker. Those who didn't know what was happening would think she was introducing a blind date candidate to him.

I tell him, stepping past him when Levi opens the door to let us in. We take our seats and wait for my father to start the meeting, since Gene left to go and make preparations at East River with Zac and Cally, Levi has stepped up as second in command, so sits on my father's right side, while I'm on his left and Darius is beside me as my future Beta.

"I didn't want to hope." Walking forward, I held my hand out to him and swallowed my anxiety. "I'm Ezra Reinhardt." The other necromancer moved slowly, closing the distance to take my hand in a firm grip. "Benji," he said, tears shining in his eyes. "Uh, Benjamin Foster, but everyone calls me Benji. I'm half Reinhardt, on my mother's side." "I'm glad you found us..." My words trailed off as I caught sight of someone else in the trees behind him. Bright blue eyes watched me from behind a leaf.
