I arched my brows. It was quite surprising, of course I knew what lobbying was because I was very well educated but I was not sure I knew what a 'lobby' person was supposed to be like.He must have noticed that I was in confusion so he took it upon himself to explain better. "Now, it's no easy task, to be very honest. You get to meet a lot of people, not just ordinary people now, Influential people, politicians, top country officials from different parts of the world, foreign investors, foreign ambassadors and if you are unlucky, you could get to meet with the Mafias." He explained."Meet them and do what exactly?" I furrowed my brows and he laughed softly. "It depends on the situation. In a case where our country and another would be having a peace treaty, you would be expected to take good care of the guests, and make sure nothing goes wrong till the mission is accomplished. That's an instance."I was not sure if this was what I signed up for, actually. Being a lobby agent? I had n
I had dinner with Travis that evening, stuffing my mouth like I had never eaten before in my entire life. I was really famished, like in a miserable way. Right after we were done eating, the lady he had called earlier, Karima, arrived to take me.She bowed at ninety degrees to Travis Coles. "I am sorry for being late sir, I could not get past the traffic." She apologized so politely and he just nodded."It's fine. This is Mira Silver." He introduced me to her. "She will be joining your team, as a lobby agent. She is an amateur, so you are to guide her through the three-day training." I could not help but frown when he called me an amateur, was that really necessary?I exchanged polite greetings with Karima without smiling. Working with humans was something I perceived to be as tough, being a werewolf even though as an omega who had not received her wolf.Sure, there were many werewolves who tended to cover their true identities and just live like humans. I had not tried staying amon
The moening soon came and I had to rush my bathing process because it was almost 6 AM and Karima would definitely be here at any time. I had not gone into the bathroom the previous night but entering it that morning to take my bath, I realized everything needed for a bath was available.There was a new toothbrush, sponge, face wash, mouth wash, body wash, towel and some other stuff. I stepped into the hot shower and washed away all my sufferings. I remembered bathing with freezing cold water the day before and I smirked, while under the hot shower.I don't know but it felt like a new beginning for me. I had anger stocked up in me but I would wait for the right time to unleash. I was not just angry at the Seventh heritage pack, but then I was furious at myself.The thought of wasting three good years of my life with someone that never adored or cherished me, going against my father's words and turning against his pack because I wanted to chase love.I thought Adrien had loved me for wh
"You are welcome to the team." Leo said to me as we stepped into the elegant elevator. "Thank you." I replied gently. "We are heading to the fortieth floor now, the training will be held there. But our main office is on the forty-two floor." He explained and I nodded, trying to be as polite as I could.We got to the fortieth floor and stepped out of the ride, then I saw some other people littering around. The ladies were in the same uniform as me and the guys too wore uniforms in the same colour shade. They all were in twos and it seemed like they were waiting for the training to start."Attention everyone!" I was surprised when Leo stepped forward to do that. We got their attention and then placed his hands against the other to his back, maintaining a stoic and professional stance. He acted quite differently from the person I had met earlier in the elevator."Good morning, ladies and gents. I am Leo, one of your instructors for today's training. The training starts in seven minutes,
Leo led me to Karima's office and left after he had a short talk with her. Her office was not something I had imagined; It was quite moderate but properly furnished and fit for her profession and rank.She had me sit and then started engaging me. "How was the training today?""It went quite well, Ms. Karima." I replied to her and she smiled. "Call me, Karima, everyone does. By the way, most people complained so much about the lengthy lecture hours so I expected that from you too."I clasped my hands together behind my back and sucked in my lips, not sure of how to reply to her. Then she smiled, as if she understood my plight. "It's alright by the way. I told Leo to bring you so you could have lunch here before you return to your apartment. I was wondering if you would not mind a brief tour in the resort too." A tour? A high ranking lobby agent like her was offering me a tour? I could not help but question her niceness within me, she definitely had other things to do, but she wanted
Training day two was soon here and like they said, it was not easy. It was more of a field training than a sit-listen lecture. We were firstly instructed to change into a fit gym wear instead of our uniforms, then we all hand weight scale. Most people were over the average and it took this new set of instructors nothing to make them lose proper weight within a few hours. Leo was one of them too and he had me specifically weighed by him. It turned out to be that I was about 3kg close to average.He raised his hand with his arms folded against his chest, looking confused."You don't eat beef? Chicken?" He raised his brows. For someone who spent over four months in prison, eating just vegetables, beans and water, how else could I have grown past the average weight?I only smiled gently at his question, I did not think I was meant to answer that. While others exercised under the hot sun, I remained sitting, drinking water from a Stanley cup. At some point, I was instructed to join th
For a while there, I thought I was dreaming, but I was not. How possible could it be? I clearly saw the man in the pool filled with bloody earlier so why was it looking like nothing had happened there?I had never been so confused in my entire life. Really?Karima turned around swiftly to face me and immediately, I started panicking. "I swear Karima, I am sure of what I saw." "Where is it now..Mira?" She asked but I had no reply to give her, no reasonable response."I am just as surprised. There was a man...here... literally...floating at the centre of this pool right here." I tried explaining even though I sounded crazy to myself, how would I convince her when I was also too confusion myself?She sighed and then brought out her phone. "Leo, don't bother. There's nothing." I heard her say then she dropped the call. I felt so bad that she probably felt I had alarmed them falsely."I am not lying, please. I am sure of what I saw." I persisted and then she released a soft, slight smile
Karima engaged me throughout the walk quite so well and by the time we returned to the huge apartment complex, we stopped at the point where we were going to part ways."I will be making something delicious for dinner, you want some?" She offered, smiling broadly. "Ugh... it's fine, you don't need to--""Mira, it's okay. I'll bring the food box to you later." She insisted and then I stepped out of the elevator, while she went up to her own floor.As I approached my door, I started feeling sore pains all over. "What's happening to me?" I muttered to myself as I tried dragging my feet into the apartment. The moment I got in, the pain became unbearable and I lost my balance. I had never felt like this in my entire life. I groaned loudly as I crawled into the living room in pains. "Ughh!!!" It was so loud and I was no longer sounding like myself. "What the fuck is going on?" I groaned loudly again and this time I felt my bones enlarging and poking out of my skin. My nails grew into
I had just driven with Madison outside the gates of the Royal family pack house when someone jumped out of nowhere right in front of my car. I had to match the brakes immediately and thankfully I was still at a very low speed so I was pretty sure I had not hit whoever it was.I alighted the car with Madison to see whoever it was that chose to die by my own car. "Excuse me, what are you doing here?" I asked, because in the first instance, someone looking badly treated should not be in the pack's territory, talk more of the Royal family house area.The guy's white shirt was quite bloody and I wondered what had happened to him. The moment he turned to face me, my jaw almost dropped. Adrien. I could not recognize him immediately. His hair, clothes, everything about him was just tattered. He was even barefooted."Mira." He called. "What are you doing here?" I needed to ask, because as far as I could remember, I was done with everything I had to do with him. I made sure his family's b
I did my findings and eventually came to the conclusion that Jordan was the one behind the whole thing. Guilt started eating me up again. I did not like the fact that he was doing these things despite everything I had done to him. It only made me seem more like a bad person..Immediately I found out about that, I headed to my parents room to see my father particularly.The moment he heard that I was the one at the door, he let me in immediately."Good morning, dad, mum?." I greeted, trying to be calm and not make it seem like I came to disturb their sleep because of something like that. After the whole greetings, I decided to get to the point."I need your help, dad." I started and he sat up properly, leaning his back against the bed's headboard. "Okay..??""It's about the Seventh Heritage Royal family." I replied."You have an issue with Alpha Adrien?" He raised his brows. They had found out about the whole thing that happened between us but they were not just saying anything, prob
I almost flared up the moment I opened my eyes to see my parents and then Jordan, in the room with me while I was laying on my bed."Please, leave." The words came even before I try to stop myself. Of course, I was still trying to recover from receiving over a hundred lashes of an invisible whip on my back."What are you saying, daughter?" My father asked, looking as confused as the rest of the people gathered in the room. "I just don't want him here, dad. Have him leave." I said it again and looking at Jordan's face briefly, it seemed like he could never believe what I was saying."I said leave!" I yelled again, startling everyone in the room. Then my father turned to him, "Could you step out for a while, Lord Reign?" Jordan did not say anything and just walked out of the room. I knew he was equally confused about the whole thing but what was the essence of explaining it to him?It was of no need at this point and I felt like everything had been ruined already so...My parents tur
Soon, it was time for my parents to return back to the pack. The truth was, I felt so burdened even to be relieved of my duties, I guessed I had gotten quite used to the throne and so leaving it now did not make me feel any good.If I could be feeling this way, I wondered how it was for those leaders. And so I could not blame any fight over the throne or other official positions in the world generally. It was just so crazy.I was letting go of those royal duties anyway so I was allowed to dress my normal way. I put on baggy jeans and wore a black shirt, and now a pair of black heels with my hair packed into a ponytail.Madison was literally grinning from ear to ear majorly because she was happy that this young lady here would no longer go in and out of depression. The whole depression thingy did not just affect me only, now thinking more about it, I believe those around me were even more affected.Adrien came and added to the whole stuff, and I already made him my mission. The long l
"Alpha Adrien told me to give you a note." Maddie said to me while I had dinner. "Bring it." Instructed immediately and even I was surprised at the immediacy of my response."I would rather you finish your dinner, Lady." She replied softly but I was bent on having her bring the message. "It is alright, Maddie. I want to see it." I urged, putting her in a spot where she would have no choice but to obey me.I was not being assertive or authoritative but then, even I could feel the aura I was exuding at that moment. She went on in and then came out again with a black, medium - sized box and I was super curious as to what was in it.I had her excuse herself and was left alone at the dining table, so I opened the box and then saw a diamond - pendant necklace that he had gotten me once before alongside a note and some pictures.I took the note which stated that: "You left your necklace behind, so I brought it. Reconsider, my love, based on the good old times." My heart wrenched, readin
A few days had passed, and we had returned back to the pack the day after the day I went with Jordan into the Altar forest. I did not realize how heavy the burdens of the Silver Claw pack were until they were laid on my shoulders.It was quite hard for me to make the decision to become the acting ruler of the pack even though the council of elders were not pleased with it despite the fact that we had made an excuse that the Alpha and Luna were out of the pack for vacation.The only reason why they consented to it was majorly because Beta Harold the third was there with me, and then he also handed over my father's letter to them with his seal, saying that he was a leave to rest and so he was handing over the pack to me for a while.Apart from the fact that the elders were not so cool because I was a female, they had different plans too and I still found it quite hard to accept that they were not involved in Giovanni's recent plans and actions.One morning, a memo was passed across the
I woke up in Jordan's arms, feeling so warm in his embrace. "You are awake, Mira." He said and then I opened my eyes fully. "I am..." I drawled, and then I remembered what happened right before I passed out. I had been passing out too much lately and it was so concerning."Where is he?" I raised my brows and Jordan did the same, looking just as confused as me. "Don't pretend not to know, about Judah." I frowned at him and he smiled, then caught me unawares by planting a kiss on my forehead.The moment he did that, I somehow wanted something even more and different from him. I jerked my body upwards, towards and then deemed it fit to give him a warning first. "I want on my lips too." I said that and dropped a peck on his lips.He was supposed to be surprised but he did not look any surprised. He only smiled softly and then I got off the bed fully. "Giovanni?""Sorted." He replied. "Annatoria will handle him properly." He assured me again. I checked the time and realized it was a
It turned out that there was no one at the door. Jordan had gone to check while I went to the kitchen to turn off the gas cooker. Giovanni was still on the floor though."There's a letter." Jordan raised and then I headed to where he was. Carefully, he unsealed the letter and then it turned out to just be a little symbol drawn on the paper.I raised my brows, feeling so disappointed about the whole thing. Jordan did not say a word, instead he turned to the seal side and then stared at it. I could tell that he recognized what seal it was, it did not look ordinary also."Do you know whose seal it is?" I did not bother to ask. "Judah's." He responded swiftly and my heart literally skipped a beat. I had not heard that name in a very long while.Judah? Of all people?Okay, suppose he is the one, what was the symbol in the letter for? I asked Jordan for it but he did not respond. "I will tell you about it later, Mira. Firstly, I need to move Giovanni away from here." He was speaking as a
I became even more confused. What did he mean by the throne rightfully belonging to him? He was not even part of the Royal family so how did this come to be?"What are you even talking about?" I inquired, expecting to clear the air on the confusion he had just caused."His grandfather once competed with your grandfather over the throne." Jordan said and I was shocked that I did not know about that but he knew.Even at that, the story was not clear. Competed? How? I knew Giovanni was just a few years older than I was so his grandfather and mine would be around the same age range, but then... competed over the throne?"How dare you speak down on my lineage? Why would my grandfather fight with someone like her greedy and cruel grandfather over the throne?" Giovanni flared up. "If there would be someone from the greedy lineage here, it would be you. Because the last time I checked, you have no point of the Royal DNA in you, so how could my grandfather be the greedy one?" I raised my brow
