Alex PovI stood up and looked at the clock because I did not think that I had slept that long for it to be four o'clock already, but he was correct."I see you at the meeting," Joe said and headed to the door."We should get going then," I said and stood up, but Hayden pulled me back."It's already evening; everywhere will be cold outside. Go grab a jacket or coat.""Nope, I feel fine; carrying a jacket for a meeting that may just last for a minute is not on the list of things I want to do.""Why not? The meeting is going to last more than a minute, maybe up to an hour, because I want to instill fear in a lot of people," he said.I gave him a look. "What are you up to, Hayden? Why do you need to input fear into anyone?"He shrugged. "For many things.""Like?" I asked him."Like making sure that no one tries to kidnap you again, poison the twins, or even tries to gun you down.""Okay, let's go then," I said because I trusted Hayden. He knows what he is doi
The part about writing out the expenses we made was starting to cause confusion, So Hayden started to clarify what he meant. "I did not ask you to write out everything spent; just put everything bought for your family together and put an estimated amount to it. That way, we can work together to find the culprit."He explained everything to them and told them that anyone caught trying to send their money illegally or carrying it out of pack would be punished, So send it through the true means.After about forty minutes, the meeting ended."Alpha, don't we get energy drinks for standing so long?" A girl who was about six or seven years old said.Everyone started laughing, including Hayden, and the girl's mother started dragging her out of the place, but Hayden called the woman back."Leave her alone Tabitha, and Grace, yes, there should be energy drinks and snacks. So you are free to grab any snacks of your choice and an energy drink from the pack store.""Say thank you, Alpha," said t
Hayden povI settled down into the chair and then called him back because he had been blowing my phone while I was eating dinner with Lexie. I guess it was because I threatened him when I spoke to him at Lucien's place about the tracking of all the cash leaving the pack. ***"It's already set up Alpha, and I also added a feature where we are alerted about every transaction as soon as it's done.""Good job," I said, "but I have another one for you.""What is it, Alpha?""I need you to create a job about killing someone that will seem so believable and add a reasonable amount of money to it. Be generous with the cash.""I don't understand," Lucien said.I finished the rum in my glass and placed it back on the table. "Find an asshole that deserves to die; put a hunt on his head; say something like he killed your kid or your brother, and you cannot seem to get over it even though it happened ten, nine, or eight years ago; take your pick. Put a reasonable sum of mo
"Watch where you are going," he said, holding me from falling back.When I looked at the face, I could not help calling his name."Josh, what the hell? How come you don't look when walking?"He barked a laugh as if he were in disbelief. "Please, you were the one that ran into me, and I saved you from falling on your bum, and you are asking me if I do not look; please make it make sense.""Gosh, you talk a lot," I said and tried to walk past him, but he held my hand.I tried to snatch my hand back without turning, but he was not having it."Let go of me; what is wrong with you?" I yelled.He pulled me back and covered my mouth with his hand. "Jeez, you scream so loudly for such a short she-wolf."I hissed, snatched my hand, and started walking off, thanking God that he finally let go, but then he appeared in front of me again, and I ran into him.This time, he did not hold me, and I fell on my bum."So sorry." He apologized and stretched out his hand to pull me up, but instead, I pulle
I grabbed the drink from his hand and took a sip from it to calm my insides. I had not examined what kind of tea, which is unlike me; it could have been poison and I would have drank it without looking, but it turned out sweet, so I looked at the remaining liquids at the bottom of the cup."What kind of tea is this? It's really sweet," I asked him."I don't know; my mom bought most of the things in my house, including this tea. She blended a lot of the things into the dried green tea, but I have forgotten what she mentioned."I tasted cinnamon on it," I said, and he shrugged."I did too, but as for the rest, I did not pay much attention," he said."Do you want to play a game?" He asked me."What is it? Truth or dare," I continued. "Do you want to dare me to pull my pants off?""It is not truth or dare, and if I wanted you to pull your pants off, I would not need to play a silly game. It's an Ouija box game where you have to do anything the alphabet on it says.""Is there another paper
When I opened my eyes, the room still felt dark, so that may mean that it was not morning yet. I felt sore in many places, and my head was killing me, but either way, I tried to touch his side of the bed and ask him to pull me up, but there was no one there. I looked at the side, which was a bit rumbled, which meant that he did sleep there but had woken up before I did.I managed to sit up and then looked at the clock. It was five o'clock in the morning, and I pushed myself to the edge of the bed even though my whole body protested against that movement. But I needed to get up and drain my bladder since I fainted from my orgasm and did not know everything that happened after that. I also needed to eat something because all that walking made me hungry, and I was too busy ogling Josh to ask for noodles yesterday, but now that all that was done, I needed to eat. I heard the sound of a plate falling somewhere, so that means that he was in his kitchen.Then came the whole problem, because
Finn Hallmark povI had finished making a few calls in my study and learned that Donovan was not giving up and that he was still trying to finish up in the few days that they gave him. I did not know what he thought he was doing, but that bastard was starting to make me angry, and it looked like I would get rid of him."Is there a way that you guys could get him to leave the deal for me? You know how much I give you for everything that you do for me, right?""I know that Finn, but there is nothing that I have not tried. I sent you a picture of the deal too, and you could not find any clause that would make anyone take anything back. He was very thorough in making that deal like he knew that something like this would happen." I scoffed, "I don't mean through legal means; I mean, can't you get rid of him through any means?"The bastard at the other end of the line started laughing like I said something funny. He laughed for a while, and it started to irritate me, so I
Alex povI felt someone tapping me, and I groaned, then buried my face in the bed. It must already be time for us to leave, but I had stayed all night watching K-drama recommendations because I wanted to sleep more.It had started with Hayden bringing his laptop to bed when I said that I did not want to be alone in the room while he typed. He had agreed, but then the noise from his typing would not let me sleep."Can't you put down that laptop? I can't seem to sleep because of what you are typing." "I can't, but I can get out of bed; I will just be in the living room. You can call me if you need me."I shook my head, then placed my head on his chest. He likes to say that I have been needy these past few days.I had told him that since I almost died, I now knew what I was missing, and he started laughing.I stayed curled up at his side while he worked, but then I saw that it was disturbing him, just that he did not only tell me that he could not type comfor
