Deltarune Chapter 3 Secret Boss 소설 & 이야기

“Let’s skip the formalities, shall we? Just call me Jones. Everyone else does.” I nodded my head again, but didn’t say anything. He waited for me to speak for a moment and then he gestured to the inner office. “Shall we?” I followed him in and took a seat. He slid a very thick folder over to me. “You will find all the information I have in here. The pack is located in the Munshore Valley which is over the mountain over there.” He waved his hands towards the north. I would have to ask the driver to point it out to me.

, I told her. "I know. I'm not sad or anything. I have already been proposed by a werewolf but I said no to him", she said. "Who?", I asked her. "Beta Jerome", she admitted with a blush. I didn't know he had any beta. Maybe he got one after I was imprisoned. He must be a rogue or an ally. An alpha with a beta is pretty strong. Just as an Alpha with Luna. But I was his Luna so I won't be offering him any help so that won't work in his favour.

The runes began to glow softly, their light illuminating the chamber. Clara took a deep breath and started to peruse the runes out loud, her voice consistent in spite of the pressure within the air. As she spoke, the runes shimmered and shifted, revealing a hidden message. --- "The Heart of Nyx, a beacon of power, Shall awaken in the darkest hour. The bearer chosen, a destiny grand, Must seek the truth, and make a stand. In shadows deep and secrets old, The path to salvation shall unfold. A choice to make, a bond to seal,

Grab the flash drive, leave, and crawl back into bed. She never expected him to still be here. The faint scent of sandalwood and smoke drifted through the hall as she walked. She knew that scent. It clung to every corner of the top floor. It was him. Mr. Damon. Her boss. She slowed her steps, listening carefully. Her heart pounded in her ears. The lights in the main office were off, but a soft glow spilled from the corner suite. His suite. She thought of turning around, but curiosity tugged harder than reason.

"Whatever comes next. I'm here. I'm yours." He pulled me into his arms. Held me tight against his chest, his heart pounding beneath my cheek. "Wednesday," he murmured into my hair. "We face HR on Wednesday. And whatever they throw at us, we face it together." "Together," I agreed. But even as I said it, I wondered what Marcus had planned next. Because this was only the opening move in whatever game he was playing. And Marcus was nothing if not patient.

The warrior immediately lowered his head. "Yes, Delta." Three days later, a reply arrived. Muna waited until nightfall before opening it. Inside was a single sheet of parchment. The handwriting was elegant. "Hatred makes strange allies but meet me at the abandoned merchant station beyond the eastern border. Come alone and we shall discuss Aria." "—Delilah" Muna read the letter twice, then a third time. A strange excitement settled inside her chest. The bait had been taken and soon, the bitch will be gone for good.

“Of course. She learnt from the very best.” My siblings laughed loudly and I chucked a little too. My phone suddenly vibrated against the table. The sound immediately caught my attention, and I reached for it without thinking. I stiffened a little the moment when I saw that the sender was Caleb. I unlocked my phone quickly and opened the message. The color drained from my face with every word I read. “Please can you return to the executive penthouse right now? Alpha Lukas is undergoing a massive violent regression. He has gone completely feral, and his beastly form is attempting to escape. If you do not arrive as soon as possible, Alpha Lukas will kill me and everyone else.”

"Why pretend to be rich when you don't even have five hundred thousand dollars? Aren't you embarrassed?" Ryan's face tightened with anger. He gritted his teeth and tried the card repeatedly. "Card unreadable." "Card unreadable." The laughter and chatter amongst the crowd grew louder. Jack became anxious, too. "Dad, what's going on? I still need to take my award!" I looked at Ryan's embarrassed expression and stepped forward with a smile. "Since Mr. Ryan can't pay the five hundred thousand dollars, the first place still belongs to my daughter." Lily had already brightened as she winked at me and started toward the stage.

This was more than a business discussion; it was a chess match played in real time, with billions and legacies at stake. Dante caught my eye from across the table and gave a subtle nod of support. He knew what this meant. Penelope wasn’t just challenging my authority — she was trying to erode the foundation I had spent years building. Family or not, she was a predator circling the empire my father had left behind, waiting for any sign of weakness.

Was marching toward the fortress with the enemy. End of Chapter Thirty
