"Okay, that’s my order. I don’t know how you all are going to find it, but I want you to find all the information regarding the Jones and their lost pack! and by everything I mean everything, including the dead bodies of their elders!""Yes, Alpha!"After taking the order from Jack, the group of men shifted into their wolf form. The front wolf, who seemed to be the Beta of the pack, let out a howl as if confirming the Alpha’s order, and with that, they dashed out from the pack base camp, spreading in other directions to find any information regarding the Jones.After they all left, Daniel, who stood beside Jack, clicked his tongue. “So, you’re calling me in the middle of the night, asking me to pick you up, and go to the base camp, which is located 100 km from your house just to order the boys for an investigation? Really, Jack?”Jack shrugged. “Well, what can I do? You didn’t drive my car back to my house, so I had no choice but to call you.” he said.Daniel rolled his eyes. “Sure th
Guilty. That’s what Jack’s first thought when he saw the Omega sitting before him. After learning the whole truth about her, Jack couldn’t help but feel both sorry and guilty toward the Omega. If only he knew that she became the chosen one because of ‘that’, he would have thought twice before giving her poor treatment. He wouldn’t have let his sentiment get the best of him, or even let her come into his life. And he, Definitely would still live as Jack Nicholas Burkley, the Burkley’s only heir whose focus was only work and enlarging his own power. His only problem might just deal with his father's crazy obsession to find him a mate, and the rest would be about business and his secret packs. "If I had known from the start, I wouldn't have offered her to stay, and maybe I wouldn’t have taken her from the street. But now that I know the truth, I can’t just kick her off as it will lead to a tragedy for my own pack, and it might be much worse than the Jones family’s tragedy since I alre
At Mystique cafe.The ornate clock on the cafe's wall ticked away the minutes, marking the passage of time in the dimly lit VIP room. Daniel, in his usual waiter attire, stood by the entrance. His demeanor is composed yet exudes an air of impatience as he talks to the Omega, who is supposed to be another blind date guest for Jack.“Please wait here for a few minutes. Master Burkley will arrive soon,” Daniel stated with a formal tone.“Okay, handsome.”TAP! TAP! TAP!CKLEK!Once he already steps out of the room, the Alpha immediately lets out a breath that he’s been holding. He couldn’t help but feel another suffocation with today’s encounter. This Omega, although she’s not as flirtatious as others, had the worst choice of perfume. Much worse than the one his granny had.“Today’s Omega is good, but her scent…Why did she choose that cheap perfume above all? Did she think the more pungent her scent is, the more attractive she is? Did she think we, Alpha, are attracted to dog’s smell?” Da
CKIT!“We have already arrived at Burkley’s main house. Behave yourself inside, and no matter what just stay quiet and don’t mention the deal.”“Alright, Jack.”As Jack stepped out of the car, Brianna exhaled deeply and slammed her head on the car window. She couldn’t believe she had just accepted the agreement.“I must be crazy to accept that,” the Omega muttered, slamming her head once more. Yet, despite her regret, a part of her thought that maybe, it was better to accept this crazy agreement. Who knows that it could fix her already ruined life, in some twisted way.She thought, before the car door suddenly swung open, and Jack’s annoyed expression came into view.“Hey, what took you so long? Don’t you hear me calling you? Come on, and let’s go inside. Father is waiting,” he whispered harshly, and with that, the Omega walked out from the car, and followed him inside as the good ‘mate’ she is.TIME SKIP.As they were already inside the grandeur manor of Burkley’s main house, the mai
Outside the Burkley’s Manor.Brianna let out a relieved sigh as soon as she left the manor. She’s glad that the tense lunch event is already over, and she’s happy that she doesn’t need to see Master Burkley until her ‘wedding’.“I see that someone looks very relieved, huh?” Jack said as he stepped into the car, putting on a seatbelt. “Is lunch with my father that bad?”“Is not just bad but horrible,” Brianna said bluntly, huffing slightly as she saw her reflection in the car window. “I mean, how come Master Burkley can eat with maids on both of his laps and ask me to join? Like please…” The Omega paused, choosing her words carefully. “I’m your guest, and you, are the master of the house as well as the most prominent Alpha on East Lourvey. Can’t he just at least show some respect or his noble side? Seriously, sitting in his lap? How come he ask me that when my status are his future in law,”She said, rolling her eyes, which made the Alpha laugh loudly. "Well, that's the great Master Bu
The bell on the door jingled as Brianna entered the familiar atmosphere of the Moon Cafe. The scent of coffee, and the gentle hum of conversation greeted her, providing her a sense of nostalgia. and as she approached the counter, the barista, a young man with a friendly smile, welcomed her.“Hi, welcome to the Moon Cafe. What would you like to order, um Miss—”“A cup of tea. Please give me a cup of royal milk tea, and also… 3 pieces of madeleines, please,” the Omega said quickly, her words rushed, as if she was eager to escape the bustling cafe atmosphere.The barista raised an eyebrow, looking a bit puzzled but nodded. “Alright,”As the barista prepared her order, Brianna found a vacant table by the window, and took a seat. Moments later, the barista arrived with a tray, carrying a steaming cup of royal milk tea, and three freshly baked madeleines.“Here you go, Miss. Enjoy your tea, and cakes,” he said with a smile.“Thank you," Brianna said, offering a faint smile.She took a sip
The bell on the door chimed again, as another customer entered the Moon Cafe. The young man who previously entered, now stood in front the cafe counter, where a barista greeted him, with a welcoming smile.“Good afternoon, sir. What would you like to order?” the barista asked, ready to assist.The young man took a moment to glance at the big menu above the barista counter as if contemplating his options, and after a brief silence, he finally spoke,“I will go with a black coffee, please. Without sugar,” he said, his voice calm, yet decisive.The barista smiled and nodded. “Certainly, sir. Our black coffee is a classic choice. Especially with no sugar since it’s bold and robust, perfect for a quick pick me up. Would you like it with any specific roast?”“Go with your recommendation. I trust your judgment,” he said..“Great choice sir,” the barista grinned. “I recommend our house blend. It has a rich flavor profile with hints of chocolate and a smooth finish. I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Isabella, the event organizer, gestures for Jack and Brianna to take a seat in the elegantly furnished office. The room executed an air of sophistication, with large windows offering the skyline city view.“Thank you for choosing our service for your wedding,” Isabella began her tone professional yet warm. “Let’s dive right into the details. Firstly, have you both discussed what type of wedding you envision? A grand ceremony, an intimate gathering, or perhaps something in between?”Jack, seeming deep in thought, cleared his throat as he spoke.“I prefer…a private affair. Nothing too extravagant, but elegant. That’s all.” he said, before turning his head toward Brianna. “How about you, Brianna? What do you think about it? Do you like it?”“Yes, I like it. I hate it if it's too crowded. Private is fine,” she said.“Okay, so privacy is the priority here,” Isabella nodded, jotting down notes on her table. “Now, let’s discuss about the venue. Do you have any specific location in mind? In he
Jack's father took a deep, shuddering breath, his tear-streaked face a stark contrast to the composed facade he usually wore. "It all started when I first met your mother," he began, his voice thick with emotion. "She was... she was perfect. The perfect mate, the perfect fate. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on her that she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with."Jack clenched his jaw, trying to push down the surge of emotion threatening to overwhelm him. "To the point, Father," he interjected, his voice steely with determination. "I don't need the sentimental details."His father nodded, wiping away his tears with a shaky hand. "Of course, Jack," he said, his voice more composed now. "After we were married, we were happy. Happier than I had ever been before. And when you came along, it was like... it was like all of my dreams had come true."Jack's heart clenched at the mention of his mother, a pang of longing shooting through him like a bolt of lightning. But he
Jack's hands tightened around the steering wheel as he approached the imposing gates of the Burkley household. It had been months since he had last set foot on the grounds, months since he had introduced Brianna to his family. And now, as he stared up at the sprawling mansion before him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread creeping over him.Parking his car in a secluded spot near the edge of the property, Jack took a moment to compose himself. He knew that confronting his father would not be easy, that it would dredge up painful memories and long-buried emotions. But he also knew that he couldn't continue living in the dark, that he needed answers—no matter how difficult they might be to hear.As he made his way towards the front door, Jack was greeted by the sight of an old servant waiting to receive him. The man's eyes widened in surprise at Jack's cold demeanor, clearly taken aback by the intensity of his anger."Master Jack," the servant stammered, bowing slightly. "I... I
As Brianna lay in her hospital bed, the events of the past few days weighed heavily on her mind. She tried to sleep, to escape from the turmoil that churned inside her, but sleep eluded her. Instead, she tossed and turned, her thoughts consumed by the darkness that threatened to engulf her.She couldn't shake the memory of Michael's taunts, his cruel laughter echoing in her ears. The realization that he had orchestrated the entire ordeal, that he had manipulated her into believing his lies, filled her with a sense of betrayal so profound it was almost suffocating. How could she have been so blind, so naive?And then, there was the truth—the truth about Jack's involvement, about the choices he had made that had led them to this point. It was a truth she wasn't sure she could bear, a truth that shattered the fragile illusion of love and trust she had built around him.A single tear slipped down her cheek as she lay in the darkness, her heart heavy with sorrow. She had wanted so desperat
The lighthouse door swung open, and there he was—Jack, her beacon of hope in the darkness. His voice carried a mixture of fear and relief as he called out to her, his presence flooding her with a sense of comfort she hadn't realized she'd been craving.But before Brianna could fully process Jack's arrival, Michael's sneer cut through the air like a knife. He tightened his grip on her arm, his voice dripping with contempt as he addressed Jack."So now Romeo is finally here, huh?" Michael scoffed, his eyes glittering with malice. "Well, that's classic. Never knew it would happen in real life too. And I never knew that I would be the villain. I always used to wish to be a Romeo."Jack huffed heavily, his chest heaving as he took in the scene before him. He had rushed up the stairs in a blur of desperation, fueled by the need to reach Brianna, to ensure her safety. Now, as he regained his composure, he stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Michael."Let go of her, Michael," Jack demanded, hi
As Jack stood outside, frustration gnawing at him, he heard the door open behind him. Turning, he saw Daniel emerging from the room, accompanied by Nina and a few others. Jack's brow furrowed in anticipation as he waited for Daniel to speak.Daniel approached Jack with a solemn expression, his gaze meeting Jack's with a sense of urgency. "Jack, we've made some progress," he began, his voice steady but grave. "Nina has confirmed that Sam and Michael have been seeking each other out a lot lately."Jack's frustration only deepened at the confirmation of his suspicions. "And what else did she say?" he pressed, his voice tight with tension.Daniel hesitated for a moment before continuing. "Nina didn't know the motive behind their meetings, but I believe it's clear that Sam was involved in this to elevate Nina's career by assisting Michael," he explained, his tone laced with conviction. "The timing of Brianna's disappearance and Nina's sudden rise to prominence is too much of a coincidence.
As Brianna sat sandwiched between Michael and Sam in the jeep, her heart pounded with fear and anger. She couldn't believe that Sam, the man who had been a fatherly figure to her, was involved in this betrayal. She shot him a glare, her eyes filled with accusation and disbelief."What are you doing here, Sam?" she demanded, her voice laced with anger. "And why are you doing this to me?"Sam lowered his head, unable to meet Brianna's gaze. The weight of his betrayal hung heavily upon him, his heart heavy with regret. But before he could respond, Michael's chilling voice cut through the tense silence."Sam is here because he knows where his loyalties lie," Michael replied, his tone cold and unforgiving. "And you, Brianna, are simply collateral in our plans."Brianna's eyes widened in shock at Michael's callous words. She couldn't believe that he saw her as nothing more than a pawn in his twisted game. Anger bubbled within her, but she suppressed it, knowing that any outward defiance wou
Jack stood amidst the chaos, his frustration mounting as he surveyed the scene before him. The police officers worked diligently, examining every inch of the room for clues to unravel the mystery of the Fosters' escape.His eyes fixated on the gaping hole in the wall, a knot forming in his stomach as he tried to comprehend how the Fosters had managed to pull off such a daring escape."How in the hell did they–" Jack began, his voice trailing off as he struggled to find the words to articulate his frustration.DRAP! DRAP! DRAP!"We found one of the Foster bodies! It lies not far from the ruins!"The news only served to deepen Jack's frustration as he watched the officers work tirelessly to retrieve the fallen body.His gaze shifted to an object lying nearby, the very object that had been used to explode the wall. Jack scowled as he studied it, unable to fathom how the Fosters had acquired such a device, let alone how they had managed to keep it hidden from prying eyes."Why didn't we k
Jack's fury erupted like a tempest within the interrogation room, his rage boiling over at the sight of Derek Foster, the man who had caused so much pain and suffering. With a primal roar of anger, Jack slammed his fist against the table, the force of his blow sending a resounding crack reverberating through the room. "How could you?" Jack seethed, his voice filled with a potent mixture of disbelief and contempt. "How could you do that to her?" Derek recoiled in terror, his eyes wide with fear as he cowered against the bed. "I-I didn't mean to—" he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. But Jack's rage was unrelenting, his eyes burning with a fierce intensity as he advanced on Derek, his every step echoing like thunder in the cramped confines of the room. "You didn't mean to?" he spat, his voice dripping with scorn. "You raped her, Derek. You violated her trust, her body, her very soul. And for what? To satisfy your own sick desires?" Sophia, Daniel, and the surrounding police o
As the car rumbled down the dimly lit streets, Daniel's focus was unwavering, his mind already anticipating the upcoming interrogation. Sophia sat beside him, her gaze drifting between the passing scenery and her companions, a faint furrow marring her brow.Sophia's voice broke the silence, her tone hesitant yet concerned. "Do you think it's wise to leave Brianna and Celicia alone?" she asked, her eyes flicking towards Jack in the rearview mirror. "Couldn't they come with us? Maybe they could wait in the reception area while we conduct the interrogation."Daniel glanced at Jack, waiting for his response, before turning back to Sophia. "It's too risky," he replied evenly, his tone serious. "We can't afford to compromise their safety, especially considering the volatile nature of our situation."Sophia nodded in understanding, though a flicker of worry danced in her eyes. "I suppose you're right," she conceded, her voice tinged with reluctance. "I just can't shake this feeling of unease
