It took 20 minutes for them to come up to my office. I thought I would have to wait the entire day to see them because of their fans, who might be pouting at the moment. They knocked on the door before stepping in. They didn't even wait for me to ask them in, traipsing like they owned the entire place when they didn't. “Darling!” Miles was the first to come close to me. He walked around the table and placed a kiss on my neck. “We have missed you so much, darling. Why do you have to work far from home?” He pouted, looking like he was about to cry. I raised an eyebrow at that, knowing there was a reason for the way he was acting. “Out with it, already. What do you want from me?”“Why do you think we need anything from you?” Mitch asked as he sat at my table, looking at me with a sly smile. “Can't we visit whenever we miss you?”“Yeah. Why are you always thinking bad about us?” Mike pouted. “It's not right, darling. Can't you pity these husbands of yours?”“Husbands? Last I checked, m
“So?” Wetting my lips, I looked up at Mike. “Why are you guys here?” I asked, wanting to know what they were doing in my office when they should be in theirs, completing their work, as they told me about when I left this morning. Mitch said there were things they needed to take care of. It made little sense that they would be here when they said nothing about it. Don't get me wrong, I was more than thrilled to have them in my office. It's just… They had never shown up unexpectedly like this. I couldn't help but wonder if there was a reason for this, something they were going to try to keep a secret from me. “We missed you. That's why.” Miles ruffled my hair, smiling down at me. “Don't you want us here with you?” He raised a brow at that, pouting. “It's not fair that we missed you, but you don't feel the same way about us.”“But… You guys saw me this morning, didn't you?” I argued, frowning at them. “I know there's a reason for your presence here. Don't try to skid around it. Out wit
I should have known mere words wouldn't keep them at bay. They spent the last 30 minutes trying to get me to agree with them, but I wasn't ready to do that. How could they expect me to leave with them with no tangible reason? It made little sense to me, but it seemed to make a lot of sense to them, and that pissed me off more than anything else. I know they were only showing just how much they missed me and all that, but I couldn't help the feeling I got just from the thought. I doubt they would let me work peacefully, thinking I was someone they could control, to do whatever they wanted. The fuck, I would be that woman. I started this business to show them how much I could do without their aid. Going to them would make all the things I'd tried to work my arse for seem useless. I would be like a dog, who always ran back to her master, wagging my tail whenever they called. It would only make them try to exert their authority on me every damned chance they got. “Please, darling.” Mi
Two days later, the news made me smile. My mates didn't use their fists, but they did something disastrous. A video of Mr Roderick assaulting a woman resurfaced. It was enough to send him to jail, which worked too well for me. Because of what they did, I promised to work for them starting the next week. Though they weren't happy about that, they would gobble anything I threw their way. “Ma'am, you called for me?” Janet asked, stepping into the office. “What are we having this morning?” I run my hand on my belly. “I'm kinda ravenous.” Which was odd. I had a hearty meal with my mates before I left for work. I wasn't supposed to feel hungry, but I was. “Didn't you have any breakfast?” She gave my stomach a look. “I thought your brothers…”“I'm hungry and sleepy.” I yawned, to let her know just how tired I was. At that moment, I was ravenous. “Are you okay?” She asked, looking worried about me. “Hmm. It's just that I have been feeling super weak these past few days. Hungry and slee
I opened my eyes. My body hurt like hell, and I felt as if I just had a run-in with a train. I looked around the unfamiliar place. The white ceiling made me aware of the fact I wasn't in my office. My office didn't have such silvery walls.Where was I? I wondered, my gaze wandering around the place. What was I doing here? How did I end up in this place from my office?I tried to sit up from the bed but winced from pain.“You are awake?” Janet rushed to my side, her face awash with relief. “Oh, thank the Lord.”“What am I doing here?” I looked around the room. And only then did I notice the IV that was connected to my palm.“You fainted an hour ago, so I brought you here. The doctor took your blood for a test,” she explained. “Why did you bring me here?” I panicked for a moment. “What did you expect me to do in that situation? I had to bring you to the hospital, as that's the only thing I can do!” She sounded hysterical. “I've not had anyone faint on me. It's not my fault that I thou
MILES“What do you suggest we do now? We can't possibly tell her about the bodies and the unrest in the pack. It would only make her scared,” Mike said, leaning on the window with his arms folded. Mitch was going through a last-minute mail he was supposed to have attended to. I'd never met someone as lazy as our last born. Don't inform him I called him that, though. He always gets cranky whenever we address him as the last child. “We aren't getting anywhere with the investigation. The person doing all this is good. I will give them credit for it. They could hide in the shadows without getting caught,” Mitch said, his gaze on the system. “The elders aren't helping matters at all,” I sighed, placing my head on the desk. “I doubt we could keep this from her for a long time. If we don't sort things out now, it would be disastrous later.”“Yeah, that's right.” Mitch closed his laptop, sighing as he relaxed on the couch. “Finally. I thought I wouldn't be able to complete this on time.” H
MITCH“This is getting serious,” I mussed, looking at the corpse. The hunters brought the man down a few minutes ago after we arrived. The cause of death was the same. His organs were taken. The one who did it seemed to have harvested his organs before hanging him on a tree. “Didn't you notice anything strange this morning?” Mike asked, turning towards the hunters. “Nothing, my Alpha. We patrolled this area a few hours ago before we left. This happened so… It was unexpected. We just got alerted by a kid, who was returning from school,” he explained, his eyes wide in fear. “A student? Where is the Student?” Miles demanded, still looking at the corpse as if he might find something by doing that. “She's detained in my house. If you wish, we can take you to her,” he offered. “That will be appreciated,” I said, turning to confront the other hunters. “Why can't you all disperse around the pack? Why go in a pack when you can guard the area in two?” I scowled at them. This made little s
SUMMERI couldn't contain the excitement that ran through my body as I thought of how to break the news to my brothers. I was barely keeping the grin off my face as I made a simple dinner. I would have gone for the complicated one I saw on YouTube, but tried my hand at something basic, so I wouldn't have to cook for a long time. Yawning, I glanced towards the clock. I returned earlier, which means I had enough time to prepare everything before their return. I sat on the kitchen stool, my gaze going towards our dining table. I imagined how I would break the news to them, the expression I would have and how delighted they would look after they heard what I had to say. I chuckled, barely keeping the smile off my face. Fuck! I'd never been this excited before. I was virtually like a bride on her wedding night, visualizing how my husband's touch would feel and nervous at the thought of making a fool of myself in his presence. Sighing, I ran my hand through my hair and sat up, looking
