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
The leather coat Karima got for me turned out to be so nice on me. I stepped out of the room and had breakfast with her, then we started heading to the resort in her car.I felt the strong urge to ask her who she really was, I believed that would answer every other question that I had for her. After raising what turned out to be a false alarm about a dying person, she did not flinch or scold me at all, as if she knew and understood what i was talking about.My head was filled with these thoughts that I did not realize she was talking to me."What did you say?" I asked her, after getting to realize that she was speaking to me."You look lost, Mira. What's the problem?" She inquired, looking at me and also tried to focus on the wheel at the same time."Oh, it's just...a few things bothering my mind." I let out, hoping to lead something but I decided to back down."Care to share them?" She asked nicely and alluringly. "No, I would not want to bother you. I will get it sorted out." I re
I had gotten the key to one of our numerous cars from the valet, then I headed to Forever Penthouse. It was quite far away from the house so it took me a while before I eventually got there.I so much had this assurance in the vision I had about the location he was but when I got to the entrance of the penthouse, doubt crept into my heart. What if I did not meet him there? What would be my fate then?I decided to push through with it since I was there already. I walked into the lobby and looked around, it was exactly the same thing I saw in that vision then I walked up to the receptionists to request access to the penthouse but I was denied it."Why? I just said it's so urgent that I really need to see the person now." I hammered on my words again but all the lady I spoke to did was to give me this pitiful expression, accompanying it with a 'sorry'.A simple apology would not cut it, right? What should be my fate then? Go back to the pack house without Jordan after knowing fully well
My father was lying in the sick bed for days, still recovering. His treatments were made confidential while none of the council of elders knew about it. My mother and Beta Harold the third, my father's close friend and subordinate, were insistent on it. Apparently, that was what my father had instructed.That morning, I was just getting out of bed and trying to get myself together. It was one out of the few days of waking up feeling guilty and sorrowful. I was feeling quite better that morning but not fully.Then I got out of bed and headed into the washroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Skincare? I totally lost interest in them all. The moment I stepped out, my mother barged in gently and to some extent, I was startled."Mum! What's the issue?" I asked as I removed the face towel that I had hung around my neck. "Morning to you too, daughter." She replied hurriedly as she closed the door and came to where I was standing. From the look of it, she was quite troubled."What happ
I trailed down my memory to the time I met Karima and then, Jordan. My heart skipped a beat again. This feeling was not a natural one and something needed to be done about it. Of all things, I did not think I was ready to love anyone or give them my all.All of a sudden, I felt something cold drop on my arm. "Hm?" I checked my arm to see that it was water then I lifted my eyes up to the skies. Despite the fact that it was dark already, I could still see the dark clouds. Following me knowing what a thunder sound is, a big sign that it was going to rain soon.What to do now? I left home without any survival plans, and I was very far from home already. Rain started to fall in no time and I ran somewhere into a shade, a relaxation shade that was dedicated to the estate residents. I was still within the pack, actually but the human race was mixed with us in this part of the pack. But it was quite far from the Royal pack house.I stood here for a while but the rain got heavier. It was so
The moment I saw that name, my heart skipped a bit. He was invited? That asshole who almost ruined my life was invited to my own welcome party in my own pack? I looked up, summoning courage. I was under my father's covering so there was nothing he could do.I looked in the direction where those Alphas were seated so I could spot him and I did. Our eyes literally met. 'Nice one.' I said in my head. What was he thinking of when he got the invite? Maybe he did not know it was me?Or probably his assistant did not give him the full details? Well he had no idea my father was the Alpha of the Silver Claw pack but he knew I was from there, despite that this dude had the audacity to even come down to this pack?I was so pissed off and then I heard murmurs rising amongst the crowd. Immediately, I let go of whatever i was feeling at that moment and just wanted to stick to why I was on the podium with my welcoming speech."Alpha Adrien...I celebrate you for coming here today." I decided to sa
A few days had passed again and I was yet to get in touch with Jordan since that day at annatoria. Everything that had happened with us both kept emerging in my head during my idle times. The day for the welcome party my parents planned for me had arrive already. All pack members within the territory were to attend, some people from other countries would be attending as well.According to Maddie, my father also sent out a few invites to some Alphas from other packs which made my frown on the idea after knowing what that means."They are all young Alphas but I don't have their full details." Madison said."It's not what I am thinking, is it?" I let out trying to doubt what was going through my head. "How..could I possibly know what you are..thinking mylady?""Is he not trying to look for an Alpha suitor for me, isn't he?" I asked plainly, not intending to beat around the bush. "Well, it does seem like that to me also." She responded calmly, agreeing to my thoughts.The moment we con
We were there for a while before we pulled out. That moment had to be one of the best in my entire life! Romance? I vowed against it since the experience with Adrien but guess who's finished now?'This was how it started then, it will happen again and again: that thing you have been trying to avoid.' I heard something speak in my head and my countenance switched all of a sudden. I opened the car door and got out of the car."Where are you heading to?" He asked and I replied causally. "I need fresh air." As expected even though not wished, he alighted from the car too and came after me as I walked away."Where are you heading to, Mira?" He asked again, like he did not hear my response the first time. "Your ears are functioning properly, Jordan! You heard me the first time." I asserted, boning my face totally. Who would not be surprised and concerned by the sudden change in attitude?Suddenly, he grabbed me by the arm and pulled me around, towards him. "What is the issue?" He asked,
I did not hear him rightly, right? And why was my heart racing? What was with the sudden spring of emotions I was feeling within me? 'There is no way you are losing your guard, Mira.' I said to myself innerly and immediately set out to rebuke him."You have lived longer than me, you should know better than to play with a wolf's emotions." I slammed and he raised his hands up in surrender. "I am sorry, godmother." He addressed jokingly while smiling, but I did not find any of it funny.Those heart strings remained pulled but I just had to calm myself."Take me back already." I said authoritatively, even though I knew he could decide not to yield to me. I was prepared for the worst, let him do whatever and I would find my way out of there."Sure. They are waiting for you, still at Annatoria's place." He said it like he knew for sure what he was saying so I believed him. We stepped out of the building and then one thing that got to me was the serenity of that environment.Some men we
I was so bent on going after him. "Nobody must attack back!" I yelled, instructing every man in there like they were mine. I turned to Madison and whispered to her. "It's Jordan, Maddie." She looked surprised as well but she quickly masked her reaction."What do you want to do now?" She inquired. "I need to see him." I replied to her but she frowned. "You can't go after him now, not at this time." She cautioned but I was so determined.I felt like if I did not eventually meet with him after catching a glimpse of him, I could die. My heart pined so much to just see him up close. I did not lose my brain though, yes I knew very well that this man sent an arrow attack but I could not conclude that he was going to hurt me.For a self-perfect person like him, there was no way he would have missed the shot. If he was going to kill or harm me, it would have happened already. So there was no point in trying to attack back.I did not listen to Madison as I set out for the hills. Annatoria's
As soon my parents left the pack, I got dressed up too in preparation for the visit to Annatoria's place. "Don't tell me you are not done." Madison was close to roaring as it was her umpteenth time of coming over to hurry me up."I am almost...""Lady Mira!" She raised her voice, startling me as I tried to spray my perfume. I knew she was just angry though, she could just be dramatic sometimes."I am done." I concluded quickly as I dropped the perfume carelessly on the dresser's table.I immediately grabbed my coat and headed out with her. She frowned but I cutely dissolved her expression."So, has the gifts been prepared?" I asked as we walked down the hallway."Yes." She responded. I had told her to have gifts prepared for Annatoria. It was not the current me the last time we went there so I was there emptyhanded. Things had changed now though.As soon as we got to the main living room, Julian walked in also."Greetings, Lady." He said politely, bowing his head. "This isn't need
