Troy Vandegraff Novels & Stories

The man standing in front of me didn't look like someone I've met before, from his outfit you could tell he was wealthy, nice watch, nice shoes, clean shaven. I repeated my question again..."who are you?" "Excuse my manners, my name is Coal," he brought his hand towards me for a hand shake, Coal? I go through my brain to think of anywhere I've heard that name before, he still had his hand stretch before me, I come out of my thought taking his hand as I introduced myself..."Odessa," I said as I gave him a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes, he was a stranger standing in front of my door, or rather someone standing in front of my door who I didn't want to accept I was seeing.

"That makes me overjoyed for the pack, since they have hope to cling to. So let me say this. I left Gold Nation several years ago, and I tutored the Alpha's eldest son until then. His name is Andrew. He'll have grown up considerably since I last saw him, but I know some things about him will never change. He's ambitious, to a heavy fault. He'll never stop until he gets what he wants. But...this is your way in, because Andrew Troy also has a critical weakness you can exploit." A weakness? Something so debilitating it could let her pry her way into the Troy stronghold? "He is always scheming, and he is always looking to convert others to his side. Even if he has no immediate need of those alli

Troy answered and took a sip of his drink before he started looking outside. "Why is that? Did something happen?" Travis inquired further with concern. "Actually, someone tried to sabotage it so in order not to take unnecessary risk, I decided to put an end to it before it does the same to mine." Troy answered with a smirk. "No problem, haven't heard from you about it so just wanted to know." Travis answered and heaved a sigh of relief that he didn't know he held. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Travis broke the silence asking, "What about the rogue you caught in your pack?"

"I am not a monster Troy. I am a man who lost everything to something nobody saw coming and has spent thirty years making sure it never happens again." Troy looked at him. At Marcus against the wall. At Rena still looking at the floor. At Kael by the door. "I am not completing the mission," Troy said. "Whatever it costs me." Drak looked at him for a long moment. Then he turned to Kael. Troy stepped forward. "Drak—" "You are dismissed," Drak said quietly. Not to Kael. To Troy. Troy stood completely still.

"Where is he? Aaron? Did you—" "No. Aaron is fine. He's alive, and well. I promise you that." "How can I believe a single word you say?" "You have to. You have to trust me right now. You can hate me later. Maeve is in—" "Danger? What the actual f*ck, Aar… What the hell is your real name? Who are you!" "My name is Troy." "Your last name?" "Black. Troy Black.." "What pack are you from?" "I don't have a pack."

It was something I promised them both. “Okay, so that one is true. But they deserved it. Troy works with the DA’s office. He was the one that was able to procure the ability to go above Pauline’s uncle. He let us know what types of evidence would create an irrefutable case,” I explained to Camden. “Actually, he made ADA last month,” Momma D said, kissing her husband’s cheek. I congratulated him because I knew how hard he worked for it. The long nights and heavy workloads never took away from his family though. He always put Thad and Momma D first. He was a superhero and someone that Thad looked up to and wanted to be like.

"And you must be Troy. Elena mentioned you might also need examining?" Troy shook his head mutely, his arms wrapped around his middle in a gesture that was becoming familiar. "Troy just went through a traumatic experience," Rhodes said, his voice leaving no room for argument. "He needs to be checked. Please."

The man strode to him, "I have some pretty good questions for you, and I'd prefer if you answer me truthfully." "I have no answers for you, and I'd prefer you release me immediately," Trevor grunted and attempted to jerk out the restraint around him. "You see, I won't make a mistake like the first. You are too strong for your good and shouldn't be let loose. So, the question is, who are you?" Dr Greg's eyes narrowed, and he leaned slightly towards him but still kept his distance. "I do not know!" Trevor exclaimed. "Good thing I know several ways to torture the truth out of people like you." Doctor Greg said.

I said, hoping it sounded plausible without revealing too much. “Tread carefully with him. Men like Troy? They don’t have loyalties, not for long. He’ll turn on you the moment he thinks it benefits him.” He leaned forward, lowering his voice. “And if he’s working for Andre Lucciano, even indirectly, he might already be involved in things you don’t want to know about.” I thought about what Victor had found out earlier. Troy had been brought in by Shane but she could be using him for tasks that benefit Andre Lucciano.

I searched for Troy and his family and only then did I realize what was making him afraid. I read the information about his father who is running for governor and is currently the mayor of a city near the capital. “Mayor Monteverde has two sons. They are Troy and Travis. The two grew up in America and are currently enrolled in a private school for their master's degrees there.” I couldn’t help but frown. What private schools? What other country? Troy is here! I even looked at some photos of Troy's father. His wife is always by his side. But in all the photographs Troy and his brother were not present. It's as if they hide their personalities and don't want to show them to the public.
