Stormee Adalwulf
Sary 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
VamirShe went limp in my arms, and foam started pouring out of her lips. I have never been more terrified in my entire life.Sarula was hired as Stormee's assistant, but she named her Beta Female because of the way she had proved herself going around matters of the realm. The way Sary offered her hand to Stomree was something to admire because most of the elven community was wary of new people, regardless of who they were.We have been working for about four days, and she has caught my eye. She diligently combed the pharmaceutical company's numbers, pointing out several discrepancies. She planned the visit, being smart about giving heads-up to the culprits. She instructed Stormee on our ways and protected her even against her sire.Thanks to all the gods, Al was there and swiftly created a portal that took us into the hospita
VamirI stood up slowly and followed the doctor. "She is weak, and you will only have a few minutes," he said, and I nodded.The doctor opened a curtain, and under a flimsy hospital gown and a white sheet was lying a pale Sarula. At the sound of the curtain, she opened her beautiful eyes, and the tip of her ears blushed. I adore seeing that hue in her.I slowly walked to the edge of her bed, "Hey... you scared me." I sighed, and she bit her lower lip."Thanks for not letting me die." She softly said, and I nodded."I would never..." I sighed, and she nodded."Do you know what happened?" She asked,"The refreshments were poisoned. I don't believe the final target was you and Axelled, but the queen." I sighed and rolled out a little chair to the edge of her bed."What kind of poison?"
Stormee AdalwulfSeeing Vamir's devotion to Sarula was something I was expecting. Aelfred was surprised that his best friend had feelings for Sary, but it was only natural to me. Poor man, being around Aelfred his entire life, and suddenly all that time he devoted to the realm, wasted from chasing a bit of happiness.I briefly saw Sary and assured her that Petra, Eiry, and I would handle things. She just had to concentrate on recovering. Besides, we must find out who planned this attack because it was not only what killed Axelle, clearing my name from the contaminated product, but also having Sary poisoned, making us think that the primary target was not Axelle or Sary but me.Aelfred felt highly nervous about me leaving his side, and I felt like drowning. I needed space. Indeed, I didn't want to take unnecessary risks, but it was ridicu
SarulaVamir was my mate, and I should have been elated because, aside from being a very handsome elven man, he is a great guy... but... as usual, the big if and of my father trying to use my feelings and his to his advantage was a looming dark cloud over me.After talking with Stormee about intimate things, she and the king left the hospital, leaving me with Vamir again."You don't seem happy," Vamir said, and I shook my head,"I am just tired..." I said, and he nodded. I could tell he partially believed my words because they were partial truth."Then, have some rest. I will be right here..." He said in a tender voice, and I slowly nodded. I closed my eyes but was unable to fall asleep. My mind kept reeling, wishing I was braver like Petra, stronger like Stormee, or gorgeous like Eirula... but I was none of that. I
VamirThe kiss was out of this world. I could tell it was her first kiss, and despite her inexperience, it felt amazing. I will never forget it and treasure the connection and love we both poured into it.I have been devoted to my job, and having her with me was unexpected, but she grounded me; she made me want to be a better man for the sake of my king, my people, and my family. For the first time, the prospect of having a family felt real.I removed my shoes and cuddled her in bed. Her back pressed against my front. My fingers caressed her soft hair while my chin rested on her shoulder. I whispered sweet words, lulling her into a deep slumber. Sarula was the illegitimate daughter of Elder Audon, the bastard who ordered the poisoning of the refreshments. I was sure that much. He didn't care about her life or her destiny. The fucker had no regard for her, and I was sure when he found out she was my fated mate, he would try to use our bond to get some advantage.
VamirI knew how distressed Sary was about the entire thing. The only way to watch her closely and be in the game is to get undercover. This means I will have to speak ill of Al for this mission's purposes.Al approved, so I won't feel as bad as I would have if he had thought the idea risky and stupid."We are going to be alright..." I wrapped my arm around Sar, and she nodded."I am sure I will get the short end of this..." She sighed, and I nodded."Yeah, but it was what we signed for..." I sighed, and she nodded."You are right. We're doing this and will be smart enough to pull this through..." She composed herself, and I kissed her temple. She was such a sweet being that every cell in my body screamed at me to protect her and make love to her, but we were in the middle of a meeting, so the protection would be the one I should follow."Alright, keep us posted on how you scurry in there..." Al said, and I nodded. "Now, next topic. S
Stormee AdalwulfWhen I finally arrived home, Al greeted me with a tender kiss. "Hey... How are things at the pharmaceutical company?" he asked, and I sighed."Complicated, there are too many things to fix, and I need the information to start making decisions as soon as possible... but I am certain about Anders and Daylor, and in cahoots with Audon..." I said, and he nodded.How certain?? He asked."As certain as Anders dared warn me..." I shrugged my shoulders and saw a deep, guttural fury cross Al's eyes."No one fucking threatens you and gets away with it..." He grunted, staring into my eyes, and I cupped his cheek."I am sure we will see to it..." I said, hoping that my touch would relax him.He took a deep breath, "Alright, what else?" he asked,"Yeah, there is another issue... Flavian was brought to my attention..." I sighed, and he squinted his eyebrows."What problem?" He crossed his arms in front of his chest, w
Stormee AdalwulfThe meetings were endless, enlightening, but tiring. The first meeting was with Flavian from Supply Chain."So, Flavian... I need an overall run of how you commit to your purchases. I want to see if raw materials have been going to waste and if we are getting the best prices and deals for our supplies. I also need an overall run of how the equipment is handled from start to end," I said, and he nodded."For starters, Your Highness..." he paused and deeply breathed."Everything said here will be kept confidential..." I said, and he nodded."I was instructed to lower the quality of raw materials... So I have been on a goose chase trying to find the best quality at the best price. We haven't committed big purchases from our regular suppliers because we won't pay the cost asked of us." Flavian sighed, clearly under stress. I didn't want to be in his shoes."Who ordered the cost cut? And who authorized lowering the quality of mat
Stormee AdalwulfAfter carefully planning our trip to the pharmaceutical company for a week, Petra, Eiry, and I are heading towards our destination in a car.When our vehicle with the royal was spotted closing at the gate, I saw people panicking. I am done playing cat and mouse games. I am here, I am their queen, and I demand answers. This situation is as simple as adding two plus two."Aren't they terrified?" Eiry mumbled, and I nodded."How many do you think soiled their undies?" Petra said, and I scrunched my face in disgust. Please give it to her to make comments that are so disgusting and get away with them."I don't know. Should we check how many rears look tarnished or brown?" Eiry said casually while I laughed."Why are you enabling her?" I asked Eirula between laughter."I am not enabling anything; as a mother, I am always looking for soiled things..." She shrugged her shoulders, and I rolled my eyes."Really, how does
BREAKING STORM / BOOK 2 Chapter65 - TryingStormee AdalwulfI rested my head on Al's shoulder and sighed. "What's on your mind?" he asked, and I looked up at him."That Sary is smart enough to tell Vamir something..." I sighed, and he chuckled."What?" I lifted myself from his chest, and he laughed,"Do you think we didn't figure that out?" He said, and I blushed,"So you know about our little deception?" I lowered my gaze. I hated to conceal things from him...He slowly nodded, "Are you mad?" I asked,"At first, I was more than mad... I was concerned... but then I realized that I have a very capable mate... and that whatever risk you were undertaking, it was thought risk..." He paused. "Also, I understand that Vamir would have gone all caveman around this situation, and what you did was for
SarulaLaying in bed with his arms wrapped around my naked body has been liberating. He is everything I have ever wanted to have in my life, and now I am more confident than anything; I should've trusted him from the beginning.Telling him about my sire trying to use me for his interests was as liberating as making love. I could see it in his eyes that he already knew or at last suspected... But hearing it from me was something that he needed. It was a sign of trust, love, and being one mind and soul split into two bodies."I want to mark you..." He said, kissing my neck, and I sighed."The night will be over soon..." I said, and he chuckled."Do you believe lovemaking is only reserved for when we are in the dark?" He said in a sensual voice, and I softly nodded."Well, my dear mate, you are in for a surprise..." he said, tenderly kissing my neck and sending me into an overdrive.I always believed that because the first mating was a t
*Song: Close Your Eyes, by Michael Bubble*VamirI kissed her. Her lips moved along with mine—soft, tender strokes. Shy and beautiful, she trembled between my hands. I licked the seam of her lips, and she parted them, allowing me to enter. I didn't wait a second to move my tongue inside her mouth. With long, soft caresses over hers, I could taste the pizza, wine, and her. Somehow, a particular flavor and scent only belonged to her.It was the most exciting of them all. My Sary, who tasted like soft flowers about to open up to the morning dew and smelled of fresh, innocent flowers, was driving me crazy.I parted ways, both of us panting. "I told you I was going to tell you whatever is going to happen ahead of time..." I said to her, locking my gaze with hers. Both of our gazes danced with passion and nee
VamirI entered my place and walked towards the foyer. "Sary?" I called out to her. I was expecting somewhat of a greeting at my arrival."In the kitchen..." She replied, and then my senses got tuned to whatever was happening in that direction. I was pleasantly surprised by the smells that came out. All of them were enticing and mouthwatering, and the cherry on top was my mate's scent. Damn it! I have missed out on so much while waiting for the right one to show up, but now that I am here, living this, I would have waited another thousand years for her. Only her.We must work on many aspects of our relationship, especially trusting each other. Once I found out about what Audon had done, I was hurt by her silence. I should be the first one on her mind when there is trouble. I am here for her! But then, she is used to being alone in the world, and trusting a man should not come easy, considering the man close to her is a manipulative elder.When I entered t
SarulaMy heart was pounding when I received a message from an unknown number: "I want you to gather information about the upcoming gatherings the queen will attend."I didn't know who the message came from, so I immediately told Storm. She was happy to provide me with a detailed schedule of fake appearances, and I rolled my eyes. It was too stressful to try to deceive my sire. He was a powerful elder, and I was sure he would cross-check the information I had provided.I asked Stormee to mix a couple of real meetings to make this entire thing more believable, and she agreed. It was like playing the cat and mouse with a very dangerous predator. I wouldn't say I liked it, but I knew we had no choice.Adding to all this stress, another situation had my head reeling and my heart beating frantically. In my small haze this morning, I told Vamir I was ready to be intimate. I did not consider the extent of my words, nor did I consider that he could tell my emotio
