We worked for several hours, four minds trying to get everything together. Sales were not dropping, as Al suspected. The purchases and inventory indicated a healthy product rotation. That only meant someone was draining the company, making sales, not reporting them, stealing money, and covering their tracks.
We needed to conduct a swift but complete audit. Vamir suddenly stretched. "I am starving. Should I get something to eat? Or are we resuming tomorrow?" He asked, and I looked at the time—it was close to eleven at night.
"I think we should resume tomorrow..." I sighed, rubbing my neck while Al began tenderly massaging it.
"Sarula, can you be ready tomorrow to leave as soon as we figure out a plan to audit the company? I need to see the installations, and we need a couple of extra hands to help us take account and secure a proper inventory." I sighed, and she nodded.
"Would we be leaving in the morning or the afternoon? I h

BREAKING STORM Chapter 39 - Building a Team
AelfredAfter a splendid night with my mate, I felt better about the situation. I was not pleased about being at fault for not seeing things as she did. She was determined to find out what was happening and who was the perpetrator. Our realm depends on it; it is a large part of the income the royal family provides to improve everyone's lives.She gave me some food for thought. We elves are proud creatures; somehow, my father's lack of teaching and the way I was taught to rule made me feel I didn't need anyone else to help me. I believed myself to be infallible and that only Vamir's help was needed, but in reality, she suggests that we even have what they call a Gamma, a Delta, or an extra Beta. She believes that we need so much more.Now that I see the bigger picture, she is right: I need help. I can't be everywhere, training our militia

Stormee AdalwulfI had Sary help me review every candidate, and we made a pile of files, each position with the nays, maybes, and a yes. I knocked on Al's door and walked in. He and Vamir discussed each leading position's task and the possible profile we must search for."Al, I wanted to hand you the screened candidates for the two positions we must fill. They are separated by gender because I need my Female Delta and Gamma." I informed him."Do you need my input for the female positions?" he asked, and I nodded. We were working together, and it was so rewarding knowing that my mate trusted me with serious matters of the kingdom."Yeah, but after the first interview. We must see them personally and see if we are a match. These positions require a lot of trust, and we need to find someone with whom we could quickly build a bond

Stormee AdalwulfThe following day, I welcomed Petra and Eirula into my office. My main objective of this meeting is to get to know them better and become friends, and from there, we can start addressing the pressing matters of the realm.It will take time to become best friends, but we need to build trust for this to work. Al had the advantage that Myriad and Blass were old acquaintances, and he knew them before their appointments.Sary walked into my office, followed by two stunning women dressed in traditional attire. The first one had white hair and silver eyes. She had fair skin and a bright smile. Her features were characteristic of elves: a delicate nose, big eyes, and pointy ears. She was a beauty, and you could see enormous kindness when you looked into her eyes.I smiled at her, and she softly bowed. "My queen," she said,"This is Eirula, Blass's mate and the Social Affairs Leader," Sary explained, and I nodded."Welcome aboard. Ju

AelfredMy team was far more robust than Stormee's. She was sure that the help my leaders would need was far more than what the female team would need. The male team was responsible for heavy lifting, and hands were often required. She was right.I held a meeting with Vamir, Myriad, and Blass. We agreed on how we would handle everything from now on. We discussed each area's responsibilities, how we would respond to crises, and the communication channels that would work smoothly. Then, we brought in Kel, Waston, Lorn, and Ellios.We agreed to report back in a week once a thorough assessment of the realm was done, and once we saw the details, we could form a plan of action. When they left, I felt a sense of easiness, one I haven't had ever since I took the crown and leadership of the realm. I must confess that being overwhelmed was a regular thing for me. I tried to cope and do everything in my power to fix things around me, but being unable to do so simultaneousl

Stormee AdalwulfSary and I walked out of the office the following day. We were two women on a mission: to straighten up the pharmaceutical company and restore it to its former glory. It was a good business, but the numbers didn't match.Petra's suggestion was a good idea, showing they were surprised red-handed. Petra and Eiry were doing what I asked of them. They reported early in the morning and went out to do field research on everything I asked them to.Before leaving, I told Vamir about our leave. Aelfred was busy dealing with something urgent, and I didn't want to bother him. When a chauffeur opened the door for us, I knew Sary or Vamir had arranged everything I might need to do the diligence."Sary, do we have the financial reports with the discrepancies?" I asked her, and she nodded. She patted her large briefcase as i

AelfredStorm and Sary went to visit the pharmaceutical company. Something deep within me told me that trouble was on the horizon, perhaps because yesterday, Elder Audon visited us on a furtive visit that only left me weary of what was to come.I have learned that this particular being has a nasty nature. The more I dig into my memories from when I was a child and forced to rule, the more I realize that he instructed me in specific ways of doing things, only to take advantage of the circumstances. Stormee has come and opened my eyes and has broadened the way I must rule, and with that, by reclaiming the power I never thought I had, she is stepping on the elder's toes, making him dangerous."You are quiet." Vamir pointed out, and I nodded,"I don't know... I have a feeling," I sighed, and he squinted his eyebrows."Do you think they are in danger?" he asked hesitantly. "As in someone trying to harm them?" his voice alarmed,"No, I don't think

Aelfred"Where is Stormee?" I stood quickly at my desk. Myriad and Blass were going on alert."I will contact their driver," Myriad said immediately. He was responsible for the queens' safety and should be able to locate them promptly."They are reaching the underground garage," Myriad informed me, easing my panic. I gave them a soft nod,"We are under attack; who would dare frame the queen of something so hideous..." Blass sighed, slumping on the chair."Audon," I grunted, and Vamir took a deep breath. The fact that the call came from Anders was all I needed to know that Audon was behind this fucking shit show."I know it is not under your jurisdiction, but can you gather all the information about what transpired in the pharmaceutical industry?" I said, looking between Blass and Myriad."Sure,

Stormee AdalwulfI couldn't believe how Aelfred reacted when he first saw me. At first, I thought he was upset or angry with me, but when he explained, I understood that he wanted to gather fresh evidence to protect me and Sary.I was concerned, and when Eiry and Petra walked into the office, I broke down with them. They are my team; they are part of what we are trying to do, and they felt the attack as if it was being bestowed upon them."So, do we know who the woman is?" I asked after several minutes.Al shook his head. "Myriad and Blass should be here shortly," he sighed, rubbing small circles on the back of my palm. I could feel his need to be engaged in something else to keep him from going crazy."We are going to be fine..." I sighed, trying to reassure him and me."Audon, I am sure it was him... bu

BREAKING STORM Chapter 111 - Daddy´s Gift
Stormee Adalwulf"Hey, Daddy-kins..." I said as soon as he picked up the phone, and he laughed."Somehow, I feel you will get me in trouble," Dad said. He was not wrong, but then, it was a good sort of trouble—not the kind that would make anyone frown but laugh."You'll see, I am planning my coronation... which, by the way, you are all invited..." I said, and he chuckled."I didn't expect otherwise." he laughed, and I giggled. "If not as your father, as the Supreme Alpha King..." he said, and I chuckled."Of course, you will get a double invitation... just because you are special, Daddy..." I said, and he laughed."Now, I am sure you want something from me," he laughed."OK, this realm is way smaller than yours—you already know that," I said, and he listened attentively. I tried to make my point and get him on board with my idea. Al was right: Women don't plan but plot when we get together. "So, the traditions of the elven realm usually look down on women. In particular, the elder Aud
BREAKING STORM Chapter 110 - Plotting.
Stormee AdalwulfWhen Sary and Vamir returned, I saw that their time away had helped them enormously. "Thank you for everything, Storm. The Golden Pack Resort is terrific, the service and people are top-class, and all the perks you booked and your Uncle surprised us with were excellent," Sary said, and I smiled."Oh, I am super stressed. Maybe my queen should send me away...too..." Petra joked, and I laughed."Oh, I will, but I believe the Sky Resort is a better place for you." I winked, and she smiled."Big drops, intense activity... I am fucking in!" she beamed, and I rolled my eyes."Well, we need to focus," I said. We spoke to Anders; he is preparing the new areas of the cosmetic and supplement divisions." She nodded."Your father is growing restless and, according to Anders, is close to collapse..."
BREAKING STORM Chapter 109 - Meeting.
Stormee AdalwulfI sent Vamir and Sary to a little honeymoon gateway and ensured Uncle Eulisses booked all the romantic perks people enjoy at his resort. I made him book a meditation session for two, then a little ride on the yacht, and a couple of massages... a night out in a private pool, a makeover for Sary, and some sports activities for Vamir. He texted me last night, telling me he treated them to a romantic dinner by the sea. Now, that was taking the initiative, being proactive, and making me envious simultaneously.I had to help Al with things at work. Even on Saturday, we showed up because being a ruler is not a part-time job or gives you a chance to have a weekend off. I have seen it with my parents and am now experiencing it. "Anders will be here any minute..." I said to Al, and he nodded.Sary has done a superb job with the pharmaceutical company audit. She also assured Anders that his collaboration would not be announced and offered him a deal: If he
BREAKING STORM Chapter 108 - Romantic Dinner.
VamirI was thankful to Al and Storm for this vacation. It was weird for Sary to travel through a portal into the werewolf realm, but after she adjusted, she started enjoying the place. Our room was a suite that overlooked a beautiful beach.The beach had soft white sand, and the ocean looked green, turquoise, and clean. We arrived during the day, and after settling in our suite, we walked around the beach. The beautiful sunset was the best part of the walk: turquoise water against an orange and purple sky. Our fashion was way too different from what the werewolves used to wear. Sary´s beachwear consisted of shorts and a flowy top, while the women around the beach had tiny pieces covering just the essentials.Despite sticking up like sore thumbs, not that the others minded us, Sary was entirely in love with the place. I got a note from the front desk: "Dinner on me... Alpha Eulisses." I squinted my eyebrows, and the lady who handed me the note smiled. "We will b
BREAKING STORM Chapter 107 - Is Power.
AegnorAudon wants me to find a werewolf willing to kill the Elven Queen. It can't be a regular werewolf; it must be an Alpha who hates his father. It is the only way we would be able to deter the focus of an investigation in that direction rather than have people looking into us.I have heard Alpha Romeo has stomped on several subordinates' toes. I need to find the right one. I called my contact on the werewolf for real. I was helpful to Audon because I knew everything about everyone, everywhere.That meant I had a dark net of informants. Why would I do that? Because information is power, and being in Audon´s shadow is just a facade. I am the one with the valuable information. I am the one in control, even when he pretends he is."I need you to find me someone," I said,"Yes, boss..." the man on the other side of the line replied."I need an Alpha who is scorned enough with the werewolf crown that will be willing to kill their daughte
BREAKING STORM Chapter 106 - New Plan.
Elder AudonThere was not a strong word to describe how I felt right now. Everyone in the council, except my loyal Aegnor, greeted the intruder queen with warmth and joy.I tried to force the king to take Kasula as a breeder, but he openly refused. Even when no law forced the king to take an elven queen, I was trying to appeal to the purity of our blood and magic, so the council would force him to take an elven breeder.Even with the blood argument, the council decided to ignore my concerns and allow the king to do as he pleased. The people loved the foreign queen. I have heard that she has built a new way of doing things, and help, aid, and solace have reached the masses quickly.That woman is dangerous—dangerous to my plans. That young woman and her ideas and ways are starting to change things, and it was imperative to reach the masses in need so I could come and pass as the solution to their problems.Instead, the people have embraced her,
BREAKING STORM Chapter 105 - Family
AelfredIt was a new experience to have the Alphas in our offices. We did it discreetly so we wouldn't raise suspicions about our backup plan. They understood the current political situation and agreed to this type of meeting. We showed them the facilities via live video provided by Blass, and they were impressed with the companies.We finished, and Eulisses and Peter wanted to see Storm. So, I created a portal for Thomas and Timothy and led them to their packs. We agreed to come to their packs to check the distribution center within two weeks, and with that, we parted ways.Vamir looked at me. "Sary is taking a toll..." He said, and I nodded."Storm noticed..." I said, and he nodded."Thanks for the vacation..." he chuckled."It's our pleasure, Vamir. You are my right hand and best friend. You are my family, and I have learned from Storm that family comes first. We look after family... always." I said, and he nodded."Thanks... you k
BREAKING STORM Chapter 104 - Good Friend.
Stormee AdalwulfThe following morning, Al and I headed to the office. We had a lot to do. First, I plan to catch up on all the ongoing audits. Sary has been swamped at work and has made some interesting discoveries.Then, I had a meeting with Galabriel and Aerin. They want to discuss my coronation ceremony. I will also meet with Eiry to see the advances in all the social and community development projects. Later, we will include a meeting with the Education Board to improve the quality of education and round up the program with art and sports. Kids need to be kids, after all.Also, I have several observations regarding the women's archery program. It was well received, but we need Myriad to move faster with women-friendly facilities to implement it. I need to raise that concern with Aelfred. If anyone could make it happen, it would be my mate, the king.Al walked into his office, and I moved to mine. Sary walked in, and her eyes looked tired. "Hey, how i
BREAKING STORM Chapter 103 - Cool Elves.
AelfredStormee´s presentation was a success overall. Once the session ended, Galabriel and Aerin monopolized my mate's attention. I could tell both women were mesmerized by Stormee.Elrond stood beside me, his head held high and his demeanor proud. "Your father would have been proud of you," he said, and I looked at him. He was one of my dad's best friends, and unlike Audon, he mentioned my father quite often. It was as if, by saying this, he strived to keep his memory alive."Do you think so?" I asked, and he nodded."I know so.""Aego was my childhood friend..." Elrond sighed, "He would have wanted you to be happy," he said, and I nodded."I am happy..." I sighed, staring at my mate, unable to form words to convey that happy is a word that falls short where she is concerned."He was, too, with your mother..." Elrond said, and I gave him a court nod."Audon is not happy. Beware of him," he said, and I took a deep breath
