The Argent Novels & Stories

"Now, you get how it feels, dorkahantas." I roll my eyes at her for the hundredth time tonight. "You and I are about to have an argument," I joke, seeing her point. The problem is, she doesn't understand why I am the way I am. I've been ruined by a single person and I don't know how to mend the pieces of my life back together.

I may not know everything about werewolves, but I remember reading about a rare breed. The Argenta, the legendary silver wolves. If my instincts are right, then this wolf is one of them, and it’s none other than Selena herself. It's said to possess extraordinary powers derived from the moon itself. Argenta wolves have rapid healing abilities, making them immune to injuries and illnesses. They are resistant to extreme elements like fire, ice, and lightning. But with their great power comes a curse. According to the stories we learned in school, their deep connection with the moon slowly drains their life force, leading to their decline.

This reeked of collaboration—someone smart enough to stay quiet while others bled. “Find out who’s whispering,” I said. “If it’s internal, I want them hanging by dawn. If it’s external, we’ll stage another border show.” Killian didn’t flinch. “Public or private?” “Public. They want a reaction, I’ll give them one. But it’ll be mine.” He nodded again and passed the final file. “The company.” I stilled. “Which one.” “Argent Industries.” Of course. Of the dozen businesses under my name, Argent was the most volatile. Private security, weapons contracts, biochemical research—all barely legal, all highly profitable. And all run by men who thought power behind a desk meant something.

Argent I reach for my phone, and I dial Mateo’s number. Logan signals for me to proceed as soon as he scrambles my location. From Mateo’s point of view, my location will show that I am in L.A. instead of Manaus. “Argent?” Mateo answers quickly.

“Please, contact my company. Argentum. That’s A-R-G-E-N-T-U-M. They’ll pay whatever you want. Just pleeeaaaseeee.” The footage cut back to the female news anchor behind her desk. The world crumbled around me. How the fuck had they gotten that footage? God, that was going to play again on the evening news. Everyone would see it. Oh shit, it was bad. It was very, very bad.

I also noticed that it had an initial engraved on its body. "AG?" "That's my initial... soon it'll be yours as well." That's when I noticed the voice speaking behind me. Argo...

The Boss's request to Argus represents N who hasn't even spoken a word since his boss joined the negotiations. But Argus without hesitation signed the document after a glance at the nominal amount of the cost of renting services set by the company, without negotiation. And as a result, Argus hires the best agent of the best at the highest paid prices. An agent level S and the ace. Argus ' request is easy, N must pretend to be him as the groom at the wedding ceremony with July.

I asked, stopping her. “Aguilar, there are things that are in stake. My father’s health, my life, everything is just complicated. I have no brother to take his place if something is to happen to him. I am going to need assistance, and I do not intend to let go of what is my rightful claim.” She said, and I scoffed. “Your rightful claim simply because I am allowing it to be.” I said. She opened her mouth to speak and I raised my hand, stopping her. “I believe that you know how to show yourself out.”

SAGE “This is the contract you both go through it before signing and remember I’m doing this for your interest. But you must know that you try and make things work.
