The words were finally finished being typed, there were only eleven words and four sentences, ‘Help her, please help her. She needs you. Please help her.’
It was like a plea for help, he found it was strange that if the person had magic and was powerful enough to contact him, then they should be capable to help this young girl. Lee was still hesitant to help this girl as he didn’t want to believe that this girl, Anna Fortune was his mate and he wasn’t interested in helping some random girl because someone that he didn’t know asked him to.
As Lee was about to ignore the screen, he noticed that the words disappeared and soon the screen returned to how it was before. After a second, Lee composed himself and sent Michael back to his office to continue compiling the files for the next few days and weeks.
The rest of the afternoon was quiet, there were no more messages or additional work or uninteresting phone calls. The silence and the lack of disturbance caused Lee to be engrossed in his work so much that he wasn’t aware when six in the evening had arrived until he heard a knock on his office door.
It was only then when he looked at the desk clock did he see it was after six, he packed his things and to his surprise noticed that he had finished going through all the files on his desk. He smirked but soon the smirk disappeared when he got the scent of blood.
He looked around the office, it was clear that there was no one else but him in his office. The smell was getting stronger and drew his attention to the blank white wall that was on the left side of his office door as he could see letters being written and then the letters turned into three words of the plea, ‘Please Help Her.’
Lee stared at the wall for a few minutes, the words had disappeared after two minutes but Lee wasn’t aware of that as he felt like he was still seeing the words. He heard another knock which caused him to look away from the wall towards the door, when he looked back at the wall he noticed it was clean and thought that the stress was getting to him and he was starting to imagine things such as the blood and the words.
Lee sighed before opening the door after taking one last look at the blank white wall, before walking out of the office and locking it. Michael was waiting for him, when they were outside the building and was about to get in the car, Lee looked back and saw the apart from the top floor, all the other floors light was off.
When Lee returned to the family mansion it was already half seven, there was slight traffic on the road. As soon as he entered the house he saw the old man that was close the five hundred years and was still looking to be around forty sitting on the sofa in the waiting room.
“You are late,” he heard his grandfather say.
“Was held up with some work,” Lee told him.
“Today is Saturday. If you continue like this I would take back the company from you.”
“Good night grandfather,” Lee said, he was exhausted and very tired. He wasn’t even in the mood for food and definitely not blood, after the imagination he had at the office. Lee walked up the stairs and straight to his room, he took a shower and then changed for bed.
Just like the past few nights, he got another dream of the same girl, this time she was being bullied by someone that was named matron and a few other girls that seemed to be older than her. This time in the dream he saw the girl greeting a couple as she said, “Welcome to Unforgotten Orphanage, please have a seat and I will get the matron for you.”
Lee suddenly woke up after hearing the name of the orphanage, “That name,” he mumbled. “It can’t be, no, not possible,” he told himself.
He didn’t want to believe that the adviser was leading him to his mate, instead, he believed that he was letting the words that were sent to him affect his dream. He had once dreamed of the girl walking home after using the small library that was in the neighborhood or small town.
Another time he dreamed of her cooking and helping around a house with children, but this was the first time that he ever dreamed of the name of the orphanage. Lee tried to go back to sleep but the words from each cue card and the bloody three words were constantly preventing him to fall asleep.
“I can’t take this anymore,” he said and got off his bed. He then grabbed a suitcase and threw in a few sets of casual clothes, a suit, underwear, and a few sleeping wears. “I have to visit this place, if this place does exist and that girl really exists then I would help her. If not, then I could still use this opportunity to do some business there.”
After he packed the suitcase he called Michael, as soon as the call was picked up he asked, “What day is it today?”
“Sunday,” Michael said in a groggy and still sleepy voice.
“Number?”
“Fifth, why?”
“We still have fourteen days. Get us some plane tickets to Trinidad and see if you can organize a place for us to stay in that Cedros place, as well as a driver.”
“Yes sir,” Michael answered.
“Push back my meeting for this next two weeks. See if we can get those flights for today itself, and try to make sure that this is done discretely. Wouldn’t want anyone tracking us down, as well as knowing that we are looking for a girl.”
“Then what would be the excuse for the trip sir?” Michael asked, he was now fully awake and was also packing a few things to take with him. These also included the transmission interceptor, his tablet, and laptop, a few guns and knives that were undetectable when passing through customs.
“A potential business opportunity, just make sure no one knows exactly where we are going,” Lee said.
“Yes sir,” Michael said and then Lee cut the call.
Lee walked out of his room and headed towards the gym. He did some simple exercises as he was awaiting the call from Michael. When he looked at the time he saw that it was still early which meant that none of the domestic staff was awake.
He needed some blood to replenish his energy, and to also help him out for the next two weeks. He wasn’t sure if this young girl was really his mate, and maybe he was granted a second chance mate as he never got to meet his first one. He didn’t want to suffer from blood lust around any humans and he was sure if that orphanage did exit as well as the girl, then he was sure to encounter a lot of humans. He walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, he removed the fresh tray and then opened the secret compartment that was hidden from the human staff which contained blood packs. Lee frowned, he didn’t like the packs but at the moment it was better than scaring the staff for some fresh blood which would lead to the whole household waking up and him explaining what he was doing that early in the morning. Just after he reheated three packs of the blood and some raw meat his cellphone rang, seeing that it was Michael he asked, “What time?” “Eight.” “G
When they arrived at the airport it was seven, since Michael had bought the tickets online he needed to present their passports to the receptionist to get their tickets. Their luggage needed to be checked in and tagged as the decision was made suddenly and the proper arrangements were not put in place. James helped them offload their things from the car, he was planning to park the car in the parking lot and then see if he could still get a meal and a drink for his boss at the airport. However, Lee stopped him and said, “Get the things on your way back home. I know we had rushed you this morning and you didn’t get a proper breakfast, but you should know as one of my employees, you need to also take care of yourself.” Lee could see the hesitation on James' face and he could tell that the man wanted to object, but he beat it and said, “No need to help us, just make sure everything is ready before my return in two weeks and that the place is secure enough. Also, make su
“No need to do that, this is Mr. Ford and I am his assistant,” Michael said. “Oh, then I am safe. I should get your things in the car then. You guys probably want to use the washroom and get something to eat before we head out,” Davis said while taking their things and putting them in the trunk of the SUV. “Why is that?” Michael asked. “Well, it is now half four,” he said as he looked at the time on his watch. “It is peak time, fortunately, it is Sunday so there not supposed to be much traffic on the highway. It may take us approximately four to five hours for the most to arrive there.” “Fair enough, which side is the washroom and the canteen?” Michael asked. “I have never been inside the airport before, but there are signs around,” Davis said. “Anyway, I should move the car from here before the security returns.” Lee and Michael looked at each other, their luggage was already inside the vehicle. Even though their suitcases were locked
“KFC safe,” Lee said. “Cool, I was thinking about a Sub, but Subway is a little distance off, I would also choose KFC. What about you Mr. Bernard?” “Same here,” Michael said. “Anything in particular?” “The Zinger sandwich with the drink and fries for the boss, same for me but with biscuits instead of fries,” Michael said. Davis left them and walked towards the KFC outlet, he stood in line while Michael and Lee took a seat just around where KFC was. They sat down on a table that had just been cleaned and had four chairs, they would notice from time to time girls would keep looking in their direction and were laughing or giggling. Davis returned ten minutes later with a tray that had three drinks, a large box, and three smaller ones. “I bought some extra sandwiches for you guys. It’s for the morning,” Davis said while placing the drinks in front of each of them, then placing a small box. “Thanks,” Michael said, he could clearly s
“He seems okay and would be a good assistant,” Michael said walking towards the door and locking it. “Men would do anything for money, loyalty is what’s important,” Lee said, before pulling his suitcase to the master bedroom. “Boss we forget to ask him about the orphanage,” Michael said before entering the guest room on the opposite side of the living room area. “Didn’t we already find it?” Lee asked. “You mean the house we stopped in front of is the orphanage? How do you know that?” “Don’t ask any questions, just get some rest,” Lee said and then locked his room door. Lee head to the shower and take a cold bath, he found that this country was too humid for his liking, a good thing he brought a lot of cotton t-shirt and jeans pants, or else he would feel suffocated in only wearing suits the whole day. By the time he got on the bed, it was midnight in Trinidad but he couldn’t sleep as his body clock would wake him at five in the
“No matron, you know she is always lagging behind so that she wouldn’t have to do the chores,” the girl who was trying to chat up Lee said. “Lying is a sin,” everyone heard that fine voice. “I wasn’t lying. If you weren’t always invisible to everyone then people would see you. Don’t you get it, invisible that no one sees you,” the girl said. “Anna gets inside now, don’t forget you have to help out with the dinner. Girls inside now, don’t forget you have exams going on now and you want to get scholarships for a good university,” the matron said. After the four girls entered the house Lee asked Michael, “You heard her right? You saw her too right?” “Yes, well after she spoke. It was like she was invisible,” Michael said. “Boss you saw her last night?” “Yes, she was the one that put out the garbage, she was also the one looking at us from the window. She was also the one I wanted to shake hands with and she is also my mate,” Lee said look
“Why do you need to go and study? It’s not like you are going exams like the others,” the matron said. “Yes matron, I do have an exam tomorrow.” “What exams are you doing?” “CAPE ma’am. I am doing A’ levels.” “Anna you could go ahead and study for your exams,” the matron said. “Yes ma’am,” Anna said and they saw her walk up the stairs. Lee was looking at her every move and even saw when she turned back to look at him and wave before the wall blocked her. “Matron we would return tomorrow to negotiate more about this. We have somewhere else to be at the moment,” Michael said before opening the door and Lee was the first to walk out before Michael also exited. “Call Davis and ask him to take us to the supermarket,” Lee said. “Yes sir,” Michael said and then he made the call while they were strolling back to the beach house. Davis had just pulled out of their garage when Lee and Michael arrived at the beach house en
“I did say that we would be visiting again today,” Michael said. “Yes, you did. How can I be of assistance to you gentlemen?” the matron asked. “How about we help you with these bags inside first and then we can sit somewhere more confidential and talk,” Lee said, before the matron could reject their help Lee had already taken the bags that she had placed on the ground after getting out of the taxi. “Thank you,” the matron said since her hands were now empty and the two men had already walked towards the door and were waiting for her to open the door for them. Annabel opened the door and led them to the kitchen, “You can place them there, one of the caretakers would pack them away a little later,” she said. She watched the two men place the bags on the counter, “Come this way,” she then said as she showed them to her office. “Gentlemen take a seat,” she said while pointing to the two chairs that were across from her. Lee and Michael looked aro
Michael and the others were astonished to see this fierce man bowing and submitting to this woman. Davis and Michael looked at each other, first the Alpha made this woman his Luna, they had started to secretly investigate this young woman, they were thinking she was a witch that had a very powerful spell that could seduce and brain wash their Alpha, but now James was submitting to the woman in front of them, they believed he only did it because the woman had some kind of control over his mate. Anna walked over to Alexia, she touched the spot where James had marked her, "Ahh," they heard James scream out, they expected James to attack Anna but all he did was kept his head bent and never looked up. "Stand," Anna said after Alexia was finished healing, both Alexia and James stood up from the ground. "Since all of you are here I would have the meeting one time, this meeting is concerning mating. Apart from the Alpha, you two are hybrids," she pointed to Michael and James. "One was a vamp
"Why are you all here?" Lee asked. "Our Luna requested a meeting," Michael said while looking at Anna with a smile. "Is that true?" Lee asked as he looked at Anna. "Yes, but I..." Anna started to explain. "It doesn't matter, we are already here, we should get the meeting started," Michael said. "Miss Seven, I mean Luna said..." Alexia started as she wanted to defend Anna. "Does it matter what she said, she is just our temporary Luna, she could tell other staff members what to do but she should know her place when it comes to us," Michael said. Anna was hungry and she really needed to eat at that moment, she could feel like something was scrapping against the walls in her stomach, she had never had that feeling before. "Michael know your place, even if she is temporarily the Luna, she is your Luna and you should not be disrespecting her. I am sure for her to request you all to come for a meeting, it must be something important," Lee said, "It is important right?" Lee asked as he
Anna spent a while with the girls catching up on how their experience were in during the interview test, they laughed at how Anna found that all the test was easy while they found the ones at the beginning easy and then they started to become a little more difficult. They were all laughing and enjoying themselves when they heard, "Grrr," that made them laugh even louder, it had been a while since the seven of them actually laughed so much, as they had all been training a lot since they woke up from their coma and there were only a few times they would sit together and laugh, what they enjoyed more about this time together was that Anna was actually talking more than before. "I should go and have lunch, it must have also gotten cold by now," Anna said. "What are you even worrying about, you could reheat things," Brenda said. "Grrr," that sound came again. "See, my belly is talking for me, that last test had been starving for two days straight and it seems like it has formed a hole
"I understand," Anna said, but she was thinking about her situation, she remembered that the Alpha told her that she was his wife and that she had to accept it, not only did you marry her in a marriage that cannot broken, but then if she really was not his wife and she had to leave, what would happen to the both of them as she already could not sleep the last night without him being there with her. Michael was about to say more to her but just then a knock came on the door, "Come in," Lee said to the person on the other side, the door opened and a man stood there. "Boss I brought a desk for our Luna," the man said. "Bring it in," Lee said, when the man brought in the table Lee said, "Put the tables side to side," but when the man put them side to side, there was no passage on either sides of the desk for anyone to get behind them. Anna instructed the man how to set up the tables, since they both needed to go into either sides of the corridor, and the space in the office was wide en
Anna didn't want to continue this conversation as this man had already made up his mind so she just ate her breakfast silently and as soon as she finished she made sure she looked presentable for the office before heading out to the elevator and down to the CEO's office floor. Anna arrived at the floor ten minutes to eight, there she saw the receptionist was already there and seemed to be cleaning her desk and ensuring it was up to her standard before her official work hours started. "Good morning," Anna said as she reached the desk. "Good morning Luna," Tina said looking up to her Luna with a smile. "Remember to have the notebook ready so that you could have a proper record of who came to this floor and what they came for." "I haven't gotten a notebook as yet, but if the Luna gives me a sample of what is expected I could do it as soon as I get the book." "I will let Alexia bring it to you as soon as she arrives, have a good day," Anna said before she left for the CEO's office.
After dinner the four of them separated, Lee waited for Anna to come to bed but when she didn't come after fifteen minutes he went looking for her, he found her in the library, there she was going through some papers. When Lee walked over she said, "I just need a few more minutes then I would come to bed." "What are you doing?" he asked. "I had given Alexia some books to read, she had to make notes of the most important things in the books, it is to see if she can differentiate what is important and not, also to check her penmanship and how much she could remember." "I see, seems like you are trying to elevate her capabilities right now." "I am, in that way I would know what is her strengths and weaknesses so that I can train her to be the personal assistant I need." "Maybe when you are finished with her, you can work on the others of the company." "Are you adding to my job description?" "No, I also want some amazing personal assistants as well." "If that is your excuse, I real
Anna sat down next to Alexia, "Mrs. Martha, Miss has gotten married to the boss this evening," Alexia said with excitement in her voice. "That is not true, it was just a meeting," Anna said to Mrs. Martha. "No, she and the boss really got married this afternoon, Miss probably didn't realize it." "That is impossible, the boss already has a wife," Anna informed them. "Yeah, we all know that but no one has ever seen who she is and on top of it he has introduced you as Luna to everyone in the meeting." "He did what?" Mrs. Martha asked sitting down as she sat down on her stool looking at Anna. "He just told them to call me Luna, that is all," Anna said. "Miss, don't you know that when an Alpha says that you are his Luna in front of others, he has married you publicly and once you have not rejected or denied it, it means that you have accepted him and become his wife?" Mrs. Martha asked. "He already has a wife, why are you guys even talking about it, Luna is more like the name of the
"Also, if anyone sees someone disrespecting the Luna, as the superior of the individual you are to come up with a way to reprimand your department employee. You have to make sure that the punishment would be according to the punishment guidebook that would be coming out soon. There would also be a reward book coming out as well, please note if anyone is found covering up or protecting an employee in their department, the manager would also be punished and may be suspended from their position according to the punishment book. Any questions?" "Boss, where would her office be?" "Your Luna would be sharing my office, that reminds me, tomorrow I want another desk just like my to be placed inside my office, and please have all the same equipment, stationary and every other necessary thing placed on her desk. Also, make sure that her computer has access to information in every department and building and machinery in the territory. Plus, there is an empty office area within the personal ass
"You have convinced me, fine my plan for this territory is to..." Lee said and started telling her his entire plan for the territory, and how he planned to expand the business as well as protect the pack and maybe take over other packs in the world to make the world a safer place. Seven took note of everything he said and saved them all in a list order on the tablet that has been given to her. The two were so deep in their conversation that they did not know what time it was until a knock was heard on the office door, Lee said, "Come in," while stopping their conversation as no one knew what his plans were. The door opened and one of his personal assistants opened the door and said, "Boss it is five to four, the managers are already in meeting room ten." "We are on our way now," he told the assistant before saying to Seven, "We should be on our way to the meeting now." The two of them exited the CEO's office, they were about to enter the meeting room which was directly next to the
