Injured.The next moment, the head of HR matched into their department with security.“Her. Throw her out!” the bald man said, pointing at Emerald.The security walked her way and asked her to leave.“Why?” Emerald asked.“You dare ask why?” the Head of HR, Mr. Vincent asked. One could tell he was angry from the veins running up his scalp.“Of course,” Emerald asked.“You are fired!” he said.“HR has the right to fire my employee?” The person who had spoken this time was Emerald’s boss.“Yes. If they cause trouble for the company,” he said and the security started moving Emerald’s things. Emerald stood aside as she called the police.“Hurry up with her things!” The head of HR, Dan Hamilton scolded the guards, which irritated them.“There is no need to rush. I have already called the police,” Emerald said.“What for?” Dan scoffed.“For wrongful and forceful termination. They are only here to be witnesses for when I sue the company. I figured, the police are good witnesses.” Emerald sa

The Boss’ wifeMatthew paused when his secretary said this. “Is it in Cent Magazine?” Matthew asked and his secretary nodded.“Who was injured?” he asked and his assistant was taken aback. Matthew had a feeling that Emerald was the one injured. His secretary rushed over that very moment.“The police have arrested the head of HR, Mr. Hamilton. They say he attacked an employee from the magazine and she is being taken to the hospital at this very moment,” his head secretary, Cynthia said.“Both of you, Come with me. The rest stay back and deal with this matter,” he ordered and entered the elevator. Matthew’s secretaries, Levi and Cynthia, glanced at each other. The boss was angry and something told them it had nothing to do with the arrest done. They glanced at each other and looked away.They had never seen the boss this angry. They knew best to obey when he was this pissed. They obeyed and quietly went down with him. Levi got in the driver’s seat and Cynthia opened the door for him t

A trap long in the Making.“Yes, why?” Mark answered on the other end of the Phone.“A shareholder’s son, Andrew Woods just threatened my wife while she was at his hospital. It seems you shareholders hold the life of your patients in your hands,” Matthew said and Mark sat up.“Is your wife okay?” he asked.“She is fine. Please deal with this, or tell me if it is unsafe so I can move her to another hospital,” he said. The doctor said was sweating. He could not believe they had gotten into this kind of mess.“Mr Reeves please do not misunderstand,” Andrew started to explain. Matthew Reeves was someone his father and grandfather wanted to strike a deal with. If he messed this up, he was finished. “Why is Mr Woods still here?” Matthew asked coldly and Andrew could only leave. He would have to tell his father about this to find out what to do. His only hope was that Matthew Reeves did not attack his family in anger.“Then, Emerald, I will see you later,” he said and left quickly.“Stil

Going home.While his secretary, Cynthia handled the procedures, He and Emerald waited. He had been watching her all day. A little while into noon she had eaten and gone to sleep. He was grateful that she was not feeling much pain. She at this moment had woken up and was sipping on some ice tea while she scrolled through her phone."Don’t scroll too long, Emerald," Matthew murmured, his voice low and full of concern. "You will hurt your eyes. Rest a bit, Cynthia should be done soon."Emerald managed a weak smile, her eyes finally looking his way as he brought over her jacket to help her wear it."I am only looking, how will it hurt my eyes? You sound like a mother," she muttered.Matthew raised his brows, a soft smile adorning his face as he said, "You really are bad at taking care of yourself. You don’t even know it will hurt your eyes, or you don't even care. You sound like a child"Emerald folded her arms and harrumphed as she ignored him and kept scrolling despite his previous w

Old Madam Reeves Matthew and Emerald woke up to his grandmother, Old Madam Reeves sitting in the living room. The old woman had been traveling for a long while. It was normal for her to be gone for up to a year and show up. The first to come down stairs was Emerald, when she walked down to see the older woman, she froze. Old Madam Reeves on the other hand raised a brow as her eyes widened when she saw Emerald. Emerald was dressed too casually to be a staff of a guest and she knew that her grandson did not let people on the second floor of his home. “And who might you be, dear?” the old woman asked and Emerald tried to find her voice. It was not the butler beside the old woman or the staff’s respectful demeanor that told her that this woman was important, something about this old woman felt like she was staring at Matthew . Instinct told her they were related. “I am Emerald, Emerald Jackson,” she answered and the old woman let out a smile and beckoned to Emerald to come clo

To offend a celebrityAs she reached her bedroom, Nina closed the door behind her and let out a heavy sigh. She glanced at her phone, which had been left on the bed and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of resentment towards Emerald. If only her cousin hadn’t caused so much trouble in the past, maybe she would have long been married and would not have to worry about offending the Woods.Nina shook her head, pushing those thoughts aside. She sat on her bed and did not pick her phone. Even though she promised she would call him, she knew not to call. Obviously she did not want her family to go bankrupt, but she did not want to lose her marriage too. So she sat and waited.Meanwhile, downstairs, the Jackson family remained in the living room, the tension was like a heavy blanket, at least for the two women. Rodney, on the other hand, had finally calmed down, it was as if the money was already on its way. He took a sip of juice while he sat to relax without care.Annie, Jasmine's manager, s

Unable to fire a small staff"I'll have to report this matter to the top," the marketing director replied. "In the meantime, I'd suggest trying to find a compromise, perhaps have Jasmine stay away from her so that there is no friction."Annie nodded reluctantly. "Understood. I'll relay that to Jasmine, but I can't promise she'll be satisfied with that.""Do your best," the marketing director said. "This is a delicate situation, and we need to handle it with care. “I'll be in touch once I've relayed the matter."As Annie ended the call, she turned to Jasmine, bracing herself for the actress' reaction. "Jasmine, I've spoken with the marketing director, and I'm afraid the news isn't good. They're not willing to remove Emerald from the project."Jasmine's face contorted with rage. "What? Why not? I'm the star here, and I refuse to work with that backstabbing slut!""I know, Jasmine, I know," Annie soothed, raising a hand to try and calm the actress. "The director said that Emerald is a

A Deserved SlapEmerald's eyes widened in shock as the pieces fell into place. "Nina? What does she have to do with this? Don’t tell me, you have been acting out because you feel sorry for Nina. Is this what she told you to do?" Emerald felt like laughing. Was this girl a child?"Don't play dumb with me!" Jasmine spat, her hand raised as if to strike Emerald. "You tried to ruin your cousin’s life, and now you're doing the same thing. You can dream. You are leaving this crew whether you like it or not!"“Is that so?” Emerald said and turned to leave. Seeing that she was leaving again, Jasmine walked over and grabbed her back. The crew were already on alert at this point.“Don’t walk away when I am talking to you!” Jasmine basically screamed.“You need to calm down,” Emerald said, but her words only made Jasmine’s anger shoot to her head.She raised her hand to throw a slap.Emerald caught her hand easily and reciprocated. No one had any time to react when Emerald’s hand connected wit

A Red Wolf Though the leaders escaped, along with a few others, one by one, the others fell. The forest was stained with the dark hue of blood and smelled of raw flesh when they were done. Some were captured, their limbs bound by glowing restraints woven from a magical tool made specifically to capture witches. Some were captured to be interrogated by Amanda, while other luckier ones died on those forest grounds. As the last of the witches fell, Amanda surveyed the aftermath, her eyes taking in the scene with a lot of satisfaction. “Take them to my torture room,” She handed over the guide for the restraints binding the captured witches, allowing her wolves to drag them forward for interrogation. She was sure that with a little help, their tongues would loosen. When the battle against the witches stopped, Matthew turned his attention to Emerald. He could sense her distress, her heartbeat was pounding so loud it scared him. The shock of witnessing such carnage and violence

Retreat As Nyx moved to stand protectively beside Emerald, the witches’ eyes widened in shock, their gazes fixated on the woman. How did she wake up so quickly? They heard she would be out for a few months. They even sent one of their own to place her under a spell so that she sleeps longer. “How has she recovered so quickly?” one of them hissed, their words dripping with suspicion. They had heard that werewolves shared their healing properties with their mates, but they did not think she would recover that easily. What in the devil’s name was going on? Matthew’s form rose, his muscles tensing as a low growl rumbled from deep within his chest. “Did you order the attack on Emerald?” he demanded, his eyes were darker than usual and His bloodlust filled the air. The witches remained silent, their lips pressed into thin lines as they refused to answer his question. Matthew’s anger flared, the dense bloodlust radiating from his powerful form almost choking them. He just attack

The first Wave of Attacks.With those inside in danger, those outside wolves wasted no time in springing into action. Usually their kind involved the strongest surviving and would not usually help one another. But as it looks, if they look away, they will lose more than half the packs in existence.They surged forward, their powerful forms disappearing through the shimmering portal that led to the Shadow realm. If a person listens closely, they could hear a chorus of snarls and howls erupted from the other side of the shadow realm gate, signaling the commencement of a fierce battle.Inside the shadow realm, it was pure chaos.Towering creatures appeared with a ferocious speed that tore through the werewolves’ defenses. The werewolves fought valiantly, moving with lightning speed, their jaws snapping and claws slashing as they engaged these ancient beings in combat. The Stillwater family came together and led the charge with their imposing figure at the forefront of the fray. "Prot

The Hunt"This hunt is not merely a test of strength or prowess," the elder explained. "It is a rite of passage for some, a chance to evolve for others, but whatever it may be, pure glory awaits those who hunt the best."The wolves howled and cheered at the elder’s words."Within the Ancient Land, there dwells many creatures." The elder continued and silence returned "Massive, fearsome beast that will test not only your physical strength but your mental strength too.Your task is to hunt and bring back the largest game they can find. Bring their essence stored in their hearts."A shiver ran down Emerald's spine at her words but the young wolves seemed undaunted, their eyes alight with a mixture of excitement and determination."The only rule in the hunt is to return alive,” she said solemnly and silence returned.“Some of you will die in the shadow realm. When you step through that door, you stand alone,” the elder concluded, her voice solemn. "I wish you all a great hunt. May the bes

Preparations.The meeting went on for a while after that. The date for the hunt was set and many things prepared.By the time Matthew returned to his room, the sun had long since risen high in the sky. He found Emerald coming out from the side bathroom, her hair damp and her skin flushed from the heat of her bath.Without a word, he crossed the room and pulled her into a fierce embrace, burying his face in the crook of her neck as he inhaled her comforting scent. Emerald tensed momentarily, surprised by his sudden display of affection, but soon relaxed into his embrace, her arms winding around his broad shoulders. She was sure irritated a lot these days as she was tired, but she was always calmed when she was in Matthew’s arms.They stood like that for several heartbeats, before Matthew finally pulled back, his eyes drinking in every detail of her face as if committing it to memory. Emerald thought that he sure was clingy. But for Matthew, he had only stepped out but it felt like

A forced vote.Matthew’s eyes flashed with a thought when he heard his father-in-law’s words.He thought back to the woman sleeping in his quarters, whose hair was slowly going red.“One problem at a time. For now, we should hear what the other families have to say to call for an assembly,” Matthew said with a smile hidden in his eyes.“But who called for one?” Nyx asked and they stepped out to look at the runes in the sky. A glowing symbol floating above.“The Taylor family? Who?” an elder asked.“They are that family rumored to also be of Stoneheart bloodline,” Harold said and everyone had many thoughts in their head.“Things are about to get interesting,” Matthew said with a smile.They all made their way to the white halls.The white halls were a grand gathering place for all the great families. This was considered the seat of power where they all gathered and made the decisions of the ancient land. It was still dark, but the white marble walls still reflected light, almost glow

The MeetingThe moment the Stillwater family entered the ancient land, a large wolf call started.Emerald jolted awake, her eyes snapping open as the distant howls of wolves pierced the early morning silence. Beside her, Matthew stirred, his muscular arms stretching under the sheets as he too woke up the moment she did."It's alright," he murmured, his voice still thick with sleep. "Go back to sleep. It's just the wolf's call."Emerald frowned, her brow furrowing as she tried to make sense of his words. "Wolf's call? What's that?"Matthew propped himself up on one elbow, his eyes glinting in the dim moonlight filtering through the curtains. "It's a tradition among my kind," he explained patiently. "The wolves gather in the forest and howl, marking their territory and warning others of their presence. A family has probably just arrived."Emerald nodded slowly, but she was still uneasy and could not sleep. "I don't think I can sleep anymore," she admitted sheepishly.A smile made its w

The Witch CouncilThe red robed group appeared in another forest. “Check for werewolves,” Kendal instructed her subordinate and the young woman started a spell to check if there were werewolves in the vicinity.Without another word, she turned and strode back towards the clearing, the hooded figure following her reluctantly. He desperately wanted to catch as many young wolves from the Stillwater family as possible and break their necks but they left quickly so he would have to hold it in.As they made another stone altar, the others were waiting, their faces looking as though they had words at the tip of their tongues but held it in. Jay stepped forward, his eyes narrowing as he took in the scene before them."What happened?" Jay demanded, his gaze flickering between Kendal and the bloodied figure.“One of the werewolves could not control themselves," she replied with disdain.This is why she did not want to work with werewolves. Sure those werewolves who came to their side held gr

The Last great familyFar away, in the Stillwater family, the young wolves were holding a morning call. Intruders.In the early hours of the morning, while the moon was still high in the sky, when the forest was cloaked in darkness, the young wolves wandered the forest. They were only of the last families to leave for the ancient land. They were quite dissatisfied with how things had taken true. They were the ones to host the hunt this year. There were benefits to being the host, but when it was their turn, the Reeves family proposed moving to the ancient land. They were not so quick to comply. That morning, their young wolves ventured into the forest to do their morning call. Unknown to them, they were not the only ones there.Hooded figures emerged from the shadows. Their movements were stealthy, footsteps muffled by the damp undergrowth as they moved deeper into the heart of the forest behind the Stillwater family mansion.These mysterious individuals carried shovels and tools,
