Zeke Dunbar Novels & Stories

Jared pointed out the moment Zeke’s face came into view on the screen. “So, Mr. Manning. You’ve come forward today to make a very rather controversial revelation,” the reporter prompted.

I suppose,” he answered with a shrug of his shoulders. “You published a video online a couple of days ago claiming that the CEO of A&M…,” the reporter began again.

Mingling could occur at the end of the hearing, however. Once everyone was seated, Caleb was summoned onto the stage to present himself. A caged Alejandro lay sedated at the dock, as Caleb took position. He had only had to stand here once before, and that was after the death of his father had caused him to spiral out of control and the members had summoned him to ease their fears. The last time he stood in this position, proceedings had gone left when he had attacked the members of council and warned each of them to stay out of Duncan business. He had been young and volatile then, and had tethered on losing his pack.

“Dad, you said that I’ll be the one who will take over the higher title. You planned Theodore Knight’s murder because you thought he would be the one who will become the Higher King.

His name was Zane, and his son’s name was Akon.

My heart beat loudly when I saw it was an unknown number calling. Was my sister in trouble again? “Hello?” I greeted. “Hazel Thompson?” “This is her.” “This is the Heart Care Psychiatric ward. I wanted to inform you that Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy have discontinued the payment for your brother, Drake Thompson’s treatment. If it is not paid by the time the week ends, we’ll have to discharge him.” I felt like crying. My grandparents were the ones who were supposed to cover the cost of my brother’s treatment—a brother nobody but my family knew existed.

“That’s awfully kind of you.” “Oh, please don’t call me ma’am,” I insist. “Julia is just fine.” “It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance,” he replies, his voice a cozy rumble. “I’m Zeke.” I can’t help but smile at the formality of his speech. Maybe this place really does have some old world charm after all. “You’re here early, Zeke. I don’t think the rest of the crew is here yet. Are you really that excited about wading through the swamp?”

"Hunter Bernadette, champion for three years in a row" "Well, he is in for a change" Cole smiles cheekily at me. "Do you know there is nothing you can do without me Zeke Kian" I roll my eyes. "You are sounding so fucking girlish now I might puke" "Admit it" "Shut up!" • • •

Duncan sat on one end, Zeke on the other, and the wives in between. Taking a big swallow, Amy dove right in to address the elephant in the room. "So... Zeke and I wanted to make sure you guys knew that we weren't always like that." Kelly and Duncan both smiled. "Well, we didn't figure you were." Zeke laughed. "I know, it must seem really odd, especially to another guy." Duncan nodded. "It did throw me for a loop, but who am I to judge." "I'm a normal dude," he said, looking at Duncan. "I love football, barbecue, and poker just as much as the next fella."

Their only real value was knowing the truth about the switch between him and Darius. "Mr. Norwood, we've uncovered something on Zeke," a member of the Cortex Team reported.

He was standing with Genevieve next to him and they were both seething while everyone else was perplexed by what was happening. “I’m sure everyone here knows who Evelyn Banner is so she doesn’t need any introduction,” Zeke said, addressing the crowd but his eyes were on me, they were filled with delight and sheer excitement. “You know her as a formidable businesswoman and one of the pioneers of everything you see on display here today.
