I think that we should give her a chance, we should test her and see the extents of her powers; maybe she could be useful to us," she spoke, "I, Elizabeth Brennan, announce that Rayne Carson shall not be executed," she finally announced. I swear, my heart almost jumped in joy when she said that. Rayne was not going to die. Rayne deserved to live; she deserved to be given a chance.

I promise and simmer down on the power of domination I was projecting onto him. “The same applies to you all! We are no longer in the Era of the ancient war. Times change Alpha’s, it’s about time we catch up,” I snap, for all their ears. Turning, I glide over to my seat at the head of the table and sit down. They all keep their heads low, their knees on the ground. I wait a long, insufferable minute and say, “you may take your seats.” No one wastes their time doing exactly that. “First, I’ll introduce myself. I am Valerie Carson, Alpha Queen. Selene gave me her blessing, and I challenged my father. Now here we are.… if anyone has a problem following a woman, speak freely.

I knew it didn’t pay much, but that would do the bills. I burrowed Keene’s car to drive to the town for my lunch. I remembered she was working today. I passed by her shop, and she was busy talking to the customers. I just drove back home disappointed. Neither was I in a mood to paint. I uploaded the pictures from the memory card to my laptop. I scanned the pictures of her that I captured secretly. It was taken from the deck before we went to town. I memorized every angle of her face. She could wear any contacts or colorful wigs, but I would bet anything, she was definitely the camgirl, Sindy Kate.

Jack was sat waiting for me. “Leah, thank you for joining me so quickly. Please take a seat.” Julie entered as I sat down. She joined Jack on the other side of the table and it felt very much like my interview all over again. “Leah, thank you for joining us.” Julie said sitting across from me. “It feels just like my interview,” I smiled. They both laughed a little. “May I ask why I am here?” “Leah, as you may know I am a woman of a certain age and I have decided to retire early.” Julie explained.

Now I could definitely see why Sienna likes her. "The pleasure is all mine," I said as we shook hands. We all went into the living room, then Sienna and I headed for the kitchen.

She hasn’t recovered yet but she got pushed and Janine pointed at her. Janine was cussing and swearing like mad but Elaine kept her lips tightly closed. She didn’t have intentions to retaliate – though she knew she could if she wanted to. The woman in front of her was no longer the woman who can make heads turn because of her beauty and elegance. This was the real Janine Crisostomo—she was not just the daughter of AMM Hospital director, not just a genius doctor who excelled on almost everything. She was just some woman who looked perfect on the outside but suffering and bleeding from the inside.

A voice came from behind the two. Gael and Leonard turned around in unison and they were both shocked at the sight of Ashton. Ashton was walking over with a woman and the two were holding hands. The woman had fair skin, she was slender with a narrow waist and her legs were long. She looked beautiful as her long hair danced lazily in the wind. Ashton was as dashing as always but his face was a little pale. Gael's mouth was wide open after seeing his grandson. Leonard on the other hand had his eyes fixed on Maya as his eyes flashed with a mysterious light. No one could tell what he was thinking about or what was so interesting about Maya.

The woman was currently down because of her problem, and she didn't want to make it worse by giving her a bad attitude too. “I feel nervous as well as relieved. Sorry for slapping you.” Cassie whispered at the end of her sentence. Lowering her head, she occasionally tried to steal glances at Carolline, glanced at the woman and began to assess her slowly.

I came alone.” “Okay… so what brought this on?” She sighs and closes the door. “Clover, I’ll keep this short.” She pauses. “I knew your adopted grandmother.” I frown. “Grandma Lola?” “She helped me,” Janine says softly.

She helped me with job placement, college applications, and mental stability. I got my degree in criminal justice. Then my master’s. That’s how I met my husband.”
