Chapter: Chapter Twenty nineJoana's POV At that moment, everything seemed slow. My entire flashed before my eyes in a second and just when I thought that was the end of me, I heard a swoosh sound. It came past me like a gust of wind and the next thing I felt was the hot scorching burn from the wolf's blood. I looked up at it and there was an ax sticking on to its head. My heart skipped a beat as I glared at the image. Out of fear, perhaps. “Joana! Get out of the way,” Theo yelled out to me. His voice startled me into turning to his direction and beside him was Dire, whose hand was still stretched out from throwing the ax. “Are you going to sit on the floor all day?” Dire asked with a smirk. With a fast reflex, I hurried behind them as they conered the wolf to the edge of the woods. “I don't know who you are or what you think you are going to achieve from causing this much turmoil,” Dire spoke with a deep and steady voice that echoed over the lake. “But you made a mistake, you screwed over the wrong man,”

Chapter: Chapter Twenty EightJoana's POV “What are we going to do?” Sasha asked as I stared at the vast space. My head was spinning with plans but none of them ended well for me or my company. “We are linked directly to this bombing, Lucien,” I said softly. “How is this possible?”“It's not. This particular bomb is not out on the market. The military had not yet signed it off,” Lucien replied. “Then what the hell is going on?” I growled angrily, punching the wall with frustration. “Nice hook,” Dire muttered from the doorway, causing us to react in shock. “Can you excuse us?” I gave a nod sign and they left the room leaving me alone with Dire who was looking healthier. He wasn't wearing a shirt, flexing his biceps and abs in my face. “Your company's bomb did this?” He asked in a subtle tone, his gaze was cold as I fidgeted in shock. “No…yes, I don't know for sure,” I responded, looking away from him. “Joana, it's a simple question. Is your company responsible for the bomb?” He asked, this time fiercer.

Chapter: Chapter Twenty SevenJoana's POV “What happened?” Sasha asked, noticing the confused expression on my face. I felt a chill run up my spine as my shaking hand clenched to my phone. “Something is wrong,” I muttered softly, almost like a whisper. “What did he say?” Lucien asked curiously. “Joana, what did he say?” “Something is going on!” I panicked and hurried out of the news house. I had no intention on going on live television, just intended on testing out his bluff. Lucien and Sasha followed behind me and without asking questions, they hopped in the car with me. I was driving towards his company when I got an incoming phone call. “Sasha,” “On it,” Sasha answered the call and placed it on speaker. “This is Joana, who is this?” “Luna Joana, this is Doctor Tim from your General Hospital on West,” The subtle voice responded. “What can I do for you Doctor Tim?” “If you can, please come down to the hospital. The alpha had just been admitted,” With brute force, I stepped on

Chapter: Chapter Twenty SixDire's POV“What are you going on about?” I asked, crossing my hands and staring at the furious expression on her face. “You know exactly what I am talking about, Dire. You announced me as your Luna to shut me up,” She answered spitefully. Seeing her angry and frustrated caused a smile on my face.“You saw lines where there aren't any Joana. And it's becoming very funny,” “Funny?” She asked with an angry stare. She reached into her bag and pulled out a brown envelope. “What's that?” I asked. “Open it,” I grabbed it from her and tore it open. It was a photograph of Oregon and a black SUV. “What is this?”She chuckled hysterically before lashing out, “Don't pretend like you don't know what that is. That's you collecting the same sniper used to kill Chris from Elder Oregon.” “Joana, why will I kill a worker I didn't know?” I asked with a smile, trying to hide the rage burning up within me. “I don't know but I have evidence that you cohorted with Oregon and then killed him before

Chapter: Chapter Twenty Five Joana's POV My life had become a chess piece where all the pieces were moved with precaution and I had just lost an important piece. “Are you okay?” His icy voice asked from behind, causing me startle in shock. “Fine. Is something wrong?” “There is a news conference today and I will like you to be there,” He said calmly with his hands folded behind him. His expression was as clear as day. “I have a meeting,” “Cancel, I want you there,” He pressed on, turned around to leave. His attitude, his countenance just fueled an anger within me. “You won. You played me,” “What?” He asked with a smile. “Don't play mouse with me. You knew and you played me into your hand,” A smile beamed on his face, chuckling maniacally while facing me, “I did nothing. You are the one seeing me like a villain,” “You orchestrated it, made me fall for it.” “Joana, I did nothing,” He commented warmly. He was unphased as he spoke. “I need you at the conference,” He added before tu

Chapter: Chapter Twenty FourJoana's POV“How is he doing this?” I asked myself but voiced out loud. Lucien and Sasha both looked confused, sitting in my office with their faces buried in files and documents. “He orchestrated it, he wanted you to push Curly and her associates out.” Lucien concluded with a tired expression. “But why? Why go through all those troubles to pull them out?” Sasha asked softly, staring at the documents for any clue she could find. Suddenly her face beamed with satisfaction as she slammed her hands on the desk“If you have something, say it. No need to be crazy,” Lucien remarked. “Fuck you Lucien!”“Been there, done that,” Lucien replied her with a smirk. “Sasha, ignore him,” I said to her, noticing that her face had began turning red with anger. “He is trying to reduce your networth,” Sasha said as she handed me a bill poster. “Your company is number one in the entire Western hemisphere. But you are currently the richest in the pack,”“Yeah, my family had always taken the number
