Politics Novels & Stories

This was why he had entered politics—to advocate for those who felt unheard and marginalized. As he navigated the pushback from the opposition, Alex also worked diligently with his team to refine his legislative proposals. He understood that to gain traction, he might need to make concessions and find middle ground with those who were skeptical of his plans. This required not only political savvy but also a deep understanding of the complexities of governance. He held strategy sessions with his advisors, analyzing feedback from both supporters and critics, and brainstorming ways to present his initiatives in a manner that might appeal to a broader audience.

I played another song, my fingers dancing across the keys, when my phone chimed with a notification. I frowned, thinking it might be Kiara or Clinton. But when I picked it up, I realized it was a W******p message from an unknown number. Curiosity piqued, I opened it. It was a video. I clicked on it, and my blood ran cold. There was Clinton, on a bed, with Seraphina. They were tangled in the sheets, her hands cupping his face as she kissed him. I couldn’t see his full face, but I knew it was him. My heart dropped.

Alpha Lucas waved his hand dismissively, “we’re here to negotiate an alliance, what the Midnachtsinne do within their borders is of no concern to us.” The man in question sat back with a huff, his face was stony, though it didn’t seem to be directed at me. I shifted anxiously, uncomfortable at being spoken of as if I weren’t present. Alpha Lucas flashed another grin at me as he stated, “Thank you for your service Emilia, as I’m sure you’ve been informed you’ll be preparing my meals from now on. I look forward to consuming everything you have to offer.”

I nodded and forced myself to take a bite as the others joined us and made their own sandwiches. "How's your grandma, Lance?" Griffin called as Lance and Theo sat across from us. Lance grinned. "She's good. She called back to the coven and confirmed that anyone who was a part of the old leadership and still alive has fled in fear. She's going to help set up a new government and body of laws that are voted on and approved by everyone when she gets back. She's already working on it." Lance smiled. "She said that she'll stay for the meeting in the morning along with a few others from her group but most of them left for the Coven an hour ago." he added.

I did not ask more about it on realising that it was not his choice to watch it. Once we had finished eating, I helped him clear up and wash. We came back to the living area after that. Settling on the couch, he switched on the TV. There was nothing that either of us really wanted to watch, so we changed channels till we found highlights of the soccer tournament that had happened at the national level. I watched it for a while but could not exactly focus on it. Eventually, I looked at Hiro-san. “I talked to Aki-chan today.” “Hm?” He turned his attention to me.

"In terms of relationship policy. If two colleagues were to become romantically involved, what would be the firm's position?" Marcus leaned back in his chair. "Are we speaking hypothetically?" he asked. "No," I said. "We're speaking about Eli and me. We're in a relationship. And I want to know if that's a professional conflict." Eli's expression shifted into something like shocked. Like he couldn't believe I was being this direct. "As long as it doesn't compromise the work," Marcus said carefully, "and you both maintain professional standards at the office, there's no firm policy against it. People work with their partners successfully all the time."

Up in the distance, there was a huge crowd, Gregory pointed "That's speakers corner, its where people can use their free speech to spread messages to the public" I looked to see a man speaking through a megaphone to the gathering crowd "That's Tommy Robinson, he's got a huge gathering as you can see, he's very popular" "Whats he protesting about?" I ask watching the crowd "He's protesting about young girls being raped by Muslim gangs, it's a big problem here, we should move, the police will be here soon" "Why?" "They don't like Tommy and what he stands for" "I don't get it?" I say confused

they greeted and the room replied "As most of you know we have been, well, we haven't been doing as well as we were two years ago. So after some careful decision making Mr Brown and I have decided to merge with Persons L.T.D, some of you will be transferred to his staff," Mr Caine said pausing giving us time to take it in, the room erupted in chatter. Most of them complaining while I was just happy I wouldn't be losing my job. Mr Caine motioned for silence and the room soon became quiet once more.

Gunnar asks in a scary voice that makes me visibly cringe. "I'm an assassin, Gunnar. My job is to have ears everywhere. And right now, the entire western hemisphere is buzzing with talk of war. A war that just so happens to be coming due to human auctioning. Apparently, some very powerful humans have discovered the supernatural black market. Many packs are siding with the upset humans. They want human flesh NOT to be sold. They say packs who purchase humans are stuck in time and are barbaric. The packs siding with the sells are, of course, saying it is time to end the facade that humans have any say," Hilda explains as her eyes flash to me.

She'd much rather dote over her new grandson and read her romance novels. But it's more than just running a bunch of businesses; it's about keeping my father's legacy alive. We've been discovering a good portion of that legacy extends deep into the criminal underworld. Drugs, prostitution, gambling. A lot of unsavory crap. Connor is shutting all that illegal shit down fast and I don't blame him.
