Wayne looked down at Olive as they took the turn leading away from the doorway of the boardroom. She exhaled in relief and held on to his torso for support as she let herself off of the burden on her shoulders.“Hey, hey, careful there,” Wayne said and hugged her.She exhaled and hugged his waist. Wayne placed a kiss on her forehead and chuckled deeply.“You were great, baby,” he said and she looked up at his face.“Could not have done it if you were not sitting there,” she replied and he smirked.“I don't believe,” he whispered and she laughed.“You were great, baby,” Shem chipped in with a proud smile. Wayne tore him a look and he raised a brow at his elder brother.“What? You don't by any means think she's your baby alone, do you?” he questioned and everyone else laughed except Wayne.“I'm in a good mood tonight,” Wayne simply stated and began to walk forward while grabbing on to Olive's waist.“Aren't we all,” Jericho teased and they all laughed again.The men began to talk amongs
Where did you get that again?” he asked.“Your wardrobe. I think it might have fallen from one of your clothes. Wayne, you're not keeping this chain safe at all. What if your associate who gave it to you wants it back and you already misplaced it then? I feel like this chain is really important,” she nagged and Wayne exhaled. He walked up to her and held the chain gently while it was still hanging on her index finger.“I'm sorry. There are just so many things going on with me right now that I haven't had time to look into this matter for him. How about the chain stays with you until we get settled enough to take care of his request?”“What...what?” Olive stuttered then slowly looked down at the necklace. She was feeling a great pull from it and she thought it weird. She had never seen it before except on that night. But why did she feel like she once had something like this?“I... Are you sure I should be the one to keep it? Your friend won't be angry?”“I doubt he would be angry. He'
Wayne and Olive were at Valor House andthey had just successfully made it to the stairs through the horde of people wanting to congratulate them on they upcoming mating ritual. As they reached the top floor and walked beside the railing towards the doorway leading to Wayne's personal section, Wayne exhaled.“Everything all right?” Olive asked.“Yes. Just thinking,” he answered.“What business does Ren do?”Ren was one of the people who had congratulated them and had a private talk with the Alpha for a few minutes.“He is the CEO of a tech company. They deal with software formation and computer programming,” he answered.“Hmmm.”“I hate the way he was looking at you.”“So you noticed that, huh. Your friend is weird.”“He kissed your hand.” Wayne said and held that particular hand and squeezed it tightly, as if to remove any poison he must have infiltrated her with.“That one is totally normal, Wayne. It's formal,” Olive replied with an eye roll.“Don't let anyone do that to you. I won'
Crusoe chuckled out loud and rubbed his chin.‘That it?’ he asked but of course, Terry did not answer.Dolly and Jake came walking in with Dolly holding a tray of champagne flutes with the sparling drink in them, and Jake holding about four bottles in both hands. He dropped the bottles on the table but Dolly began to share the drinks.“You both stop being children and settle down,” she scolded Vanessa and Shem who were still in a banter. The two sat still immediately but were still dishing each other vulgarity with their eyes.Dolly served the drinks to Wayne and Olive first before going to Terry and Crusoe. Jericho was just seated looking into his phone.“Could you please give us some we time and drop the phone? Mr Jericho Jersey?” Dolly politely called his attention. Jericho looked up at her and gave her a dimpled smile.“Sorry, was just making plans to take a pretty girl out on a date,” he said and turned off the face of the phone. Dolly chuckled softly and handed him a glass.“Wis
“Terry?” Dolly called inquisitively and he jerked out of his nasty thoughts.“What were you...what were you saying again?” he stuttered as he flapped his eyes and cleared his vision back to the present. His eyes glanced at everyone in the room and they all seemed to be wondering what he was thinking about that he suddenly zoned out after being asked a question.“Are you all right, man?” Shem asked and he nodded.“I'm fine. Dolly, what were you saying earlier? I'm sorry, I just zoned out a bit,” he stated trying to act all cool.“I was saying you should be the first person to tell us about your first impression of Olive. I mean, when you first met her,” Dolly answered and he scratched his head.“Oh, that. I...well, isn't it awkward? You know, talking about it in front of Olive?” he asked.Wayne looked at Olive and she waved it off.“Don't worry. It's fine. I too would like to know,” she said and Wayne nodded.“Let's hear it, Terry,” he ordered and Terry cleared his throat.“Well, I was
“That was so sweet,” Vanessa drawled with a pout.“This is a human being you all,” she stated and glared at the rest of the men.“You are wrong. He's not human,” Shem retorted and glared back at her. Before Vanessa could retaliate, Wayne cleared his throat.“Would you like me to tell you my first impression of her?” he asked Dolly without looking at Olive who was actually looking up at him.“Yes, please. I was going to ask you anyway,” she replied. He looked down at Olive with a clenched jaw and his muscles flicking slightly in them.“When I first saw you, I felt something I had never ever felt before. I felt like my world had come crashing down. Usually, I feel angry and have the urge to take revenge when something that belongs to me is destroyed. But when I first saw you...I...I felt like I had lost it all. Like I was desolate, hopeless. I got the greatest wave of despair ever.“The next few minutes after that, I felt angry. So much anger that I was scared I would unleash it on my m
“Surprised huh? Haha. Well, he was a moron. Glad he has improved under Alpha Knight's reign,” Crusoe said and shrugged casually.“Where is he at?” she asked.“Nighthowl City which used to be Nighthowl Pack. He's just a businessman now. He's not even the Mayor. Good thing for him to lower that his pride. And he is not even allowed to mention that he was the Alpha. So literally, people have forgotten who he was.”“I don't know if I should be sorry about what happened to your pack or if I should be happy for you.”“Be anything but sorry. I'm glad I followed your mate to Aspen City. He's everything I dreamt of a leader. Well, almost everything,” he laughed and Olive chuckled softly.“I'm gonna go check on him. Thanks for talking with me.”“Anytime, Luna,” he replied with a smile. She smiled back and got up then walked towards the door. Her glass was in her hand as she knocked slightly. She leaned her ear over the door and heard him talking over the phone so she just turned the doorknob an
They left the room and walked through the hallway but did not take the direction they came in through. They were going to use the back door.They got outside and their limousine was waiting for them there. Wayne made Olive enter first and then he entered too.“Why do you seem pissed?” she asked as soon as he sat down.“Not pissed. Just not happy,” came his reply.“About what exactly? That your friends got drunk and wasted?” Olive asked again.“That my sisters are taking after my footsteps. My brother is already a mess just like I was. He's okay though because he knows how to take care of himself. He knows how to do moderation. Vanessa...well, no hope. She's a full blown hoe. But Dolly, I'm scared the most about her.”“Why? She was drunk that's why she was doing that. Dolly's not like that you know. I'm very sure she would be really disappointed in herself if she sees my video,” Olive defended her and Wayne chuckled.“It isn't that,” he replied.“What is it then?”“Dolly is clueless an
