MANUEL’S POV
I decided to place a call to Jonathan, he is highly skilled and will catch the master mind in no time, but just as I placed the call I thought of something and hanged up.I went to the bin and took the box out, apparently I had discard the box when I took the drive out.I checked inside it to see if I could find anything only then did my gaze catch a small note inside the box as I took it outDearest AlphaI hope you enjoyed the little show,I must say you sure know how to please a woman and the public will go crazy about this.How would that feel?.Well let’s cut to the chase, you send one million dollars check to the account below and everyone stays happy.It is win win ending.You have 24 hours to make the payment or the public see this and we both know this is bad for you sweetheart and if you try anything funny I promise you’ll surely regret it“OUR DEAR ALPHA HAVING FUN WITH A PROSTITUTE”Good heading right?.You have 24 hours.~~~Anonymous“Fuck.” I cursed as I tore the note into pieces, who dare do this to me,Who has the gut to threaten me!! .I can’t involve just anyone in this but I also need to track this person down and would make their life a living hell but who ever it was is very good in covering their tracks cause I don’t know where to start but then the lounge is a good start by the way.I called cris to confirm if the driver was ready as I made my way to the elevator.I told the driver to drive to Micheal residence, he was the only I could trust at the moment.It took about 45 minutes before we got to his residence, he lives at the outskirt of the city but he will always tell me he has his reasons.His place is heavily guarded and the security is too notch,I always wonder if he had enemies from his past life because Micheal is very easy going person I’ll ever know and a bad ass In technology and weapon.I once told him to start his own agency but he would say it wasn’t time yet.I got to the gate and scanned my face to gain entrance to his compound as the driver packed on the garage.“I’ll be back shortly, you can wait at the quarters.” I said to the driver as I got down from the car and made my way to the building entrance, of course I had to scan my finger again.“Micheal won’t be the end of me.” I sighed as I entered the house.“You really should chill with the whole security system, no one is coming to kill you man.” I said to him as I entered the kitchen.I always know where to find him,he his such a weirdo.He loves cooking of all hobbies.“That’s why you were framed up or should I say caught in the act,I saw your message.” He said as he washed his hands giving me audience.I gave him a death stare,I’m not saying one shouldn’t have good security but this one is choking it’s not like you’re a criminal or Mafia King.“Well,if you say that.” I concluded“I’m here for a solution and not scolding.” I continued as he pour me whisky.“Really Micheal,you want to traumatized me.” I said to him.“At least you having it in my house,and I won’t drug you dear Alpha.you’re not my type.” He said smiling.“I’ll make sure I shut your mouth one of these days.” I said to him gulping down the whisky.I saw him laugh,Micheal would sure frustrate one’s life but he’s my very good friend.“So,fill me in.” He said.So I narrated the whole thing from the beginning, How I was worn out and decided to go relax at the lounge and how a woman in her fourties’ came to me and we started talking up to the point of me entering the room.That was all I could remember,it was like my memory was wiped for that moment.“Hmm,can you recall the woman face I mean the one who took you to the room?.” He asked.“Yhh, I can’t vividly thou but if I see her I will.” I answered him.“So it’s so obvious that you were drugged, but the issue now is that we don’t know how but according to your statement you got the drink form the bar before the woman came at all so now I can conclude that the pole dancers you were watching drugged your drink.” Micheal said.“It couldn’t have been the pole dancers because none came to me,I told them I was fine watching.” I said to him.There was a few minutes of silence“Was there anything strange about the room,was it cloudy or you smelt anything strange?.” He asked like he was figuring something outBut thinking about it now,I recall the light of the room was dim and it smelt rather nice but an unusual smell,something I don’t know of.“Yhh,it smelt different like nice yet strange and the room light was dim.” I answered him“That’s it.” He said standing up like he had finally figured it out.“You my friend was drug with medetomidine gas.” He continued“What!!!.” I exclaimed“Yes Manuel,that’s why the room smelt nice yet strange and the light were dimmed,they work better and faster when it dark,” he said to meIt all made sense now,I was okay till I got to the room then everything vanished.“Fuck.” I cursedBut the girl……..SAMANTHA’S POVI woke up feeling lifeless or should I say I should have just given up the ghost already, I’m not ready to feel the stinging pain.It’s too much for me.I managed to roll out of bed with the little hope that Jonathan would listen to me since my family threw me out already.He’s practically the only one I have now.I don’t know how I got dressed cause I’m absolutely absent minded, I feel lifeless to the depth of my soul.I managed to get some cash as my phone was now charged, I contemplated on calling Jonathan but I felt him seeing me would be better.The phone call might worsen things and I wasn’t ready for that.*************My way to Jonathan residence must be one of the longest journey of my life, it actually feels like it’s taking eternity with the little road block. I felt like screaming my lungs out but I finally got to his place after what I might call years. Gaining access to is residence was easy, most of the men knew me as his fiancé and I was welcomed and I a
MANUEL’S POVAfter I left Micheal’s house, I knew I had to get to the bottom of this and fast also.I need to track down the girl, the owner of the bar and the fucking blackmailer.This is really messing my head up, I need to be careful with this thou as I can’t entrust just anyone with this. Even after running a background check on all my men, I still have a hard time trusting them. Micheal would always tell me I’m stuck in the trust vs mistrust stage of life but I don’t care anyways.Micheal has promised to help with the search not after I gave him everything single detail except the sex aspect thou. I wasn’t ready to talk about that as it was still a mystery in my head.I told the driver to take me home, I wasn’t really in the mood and right sense to go back to that office. But then I remembered I had to tend to some contracts and I found myself on the way to the office again. Here I was seated at my desk looking through the compiled contract in my front trying to embed myself i
MAEVE’S POV Ever since I was a little girl t had always felt that i was never good enough.Especially being the youngest , all my parent's attention had been on me but I always found a way to disappoint them while my Elder sister strived to be better at everything she did. She was a high achiever in academies, life, and love. Almost every guy That I liked or dated had ended up trying to get closer to her instead.So when Jonathan approached me I had been overjoyed but quickly it had been snatched away when an alliance was made between him and my sister. That tipped over the iceberg that had frozen my heart. Angered now, I knew I had to make a decision.Jonathan had still been meeting up with me secretly. We would rendezvous at a hotel or his house to satisfy each other's needs. I craved his love and attention and he craved my body. I knew that with time, all thoughts of my sister would eventually fade from his mind.Our numerous escapades brought wetness between my thighs as my memo
MANUEL’S POVI watch as her facial expressions changed as she narrated what happened between her and my Gamma.Of course, I had no way of confirming if it was true or not.“He threatened me, he told me that if I didn’t go as he said that he was going to kill me and my family and I had no other choice than to bend to his will”“Please don’t let him hurt me and my family”. She pleaded I paused for a minute, struck between believing her or what.There was no way I could find out.“It’s all right. Nothing is going to happen to you or your family, I’ll personally see to it”. I assured her.Deep down me I felt there was more to this, I dig down this matter in other to clear the confusion but it seems I’m more confused even after finding out the truth.Well, the supposed truth.But then I was probably feeling this way because I was drugged that night, my mind wasn’t clear. Jonathan had plotted his revenge against because of his lost for power. He must have wanted to become the Alpha but wa
MANUEL’S POV Things didn’t seems to add up even still, I can say at least 90 percent of my confusion was solved but I still didn’t know who I slept with. I still kept thinking about what the woman said and I felt like we still needed to talk but I guess till fate makes us cross paths. I need to figure the remaining pieces myself. I called in Cris while I try to focus on the deal of the day, well it wasn’t easy but I have a business to run “Yes Alpha”, Cris said coming in. I narrated everything that the woman told me chipping in my own opinion and concerns. How Jonathan had kidnapped her husband and also involved Maeve in it.But now the issue is that who was the lady in the room that night?.I needed an answer. “Did you confirm that everything she was saying was nothing but the truth?”, Cris asked. “Yes, yes”“Everything about her spilled the truth”, I said to him . I think I need to get the CCTV footage at the lounge of that night. “Tell the driver to prepare the car,” I s
SAMANTHA'S POV5 years went by and I never saw the man I had slept with that night again. Even when I tried calling him to tell him the news, I was disconnected soon after. I found out in the news that he had begundating Maeve and that he was planning to make her his Luna. That had hurt me a lot more than I thought it did. I hadn't tried contacting my family since that day either. They had cut off all means ofcommunication to me."Mama!"I turned as Finn ran toward me holding a Lego toy in his hands."What is it, baby?"I cooed as I lifted him in my arms."Mummy, Rey broke my toy" he cried“I’m o sorry about that honey, I'll make sure that I get you a new one okay?"I promised him which comforted him.That was when Nora towards me frantically. “Mama what about me?”, she cried out. Unable to resist, I carried her up as well, placing her on my other lap. “Don’t worry baby. I'll get you yours as well."I promised."Uncle Rick!" we turned in the direction of the door where Rey was wrappe
MANUEL'S POVI watched as the beautiful brunette walked in looking around wistfully and in awe, I couldn't hide the smile that had appeared on my face. However, I had to be poised and collected throughout this interview. Somehow, I felt this sense that I had seen her before. But I wasn't able to recollect where I had seen her orwhen."Is something wrong?" I had asked when she gasped in surprise.She paused for a while, before recomposing herself."No sir.I’m sorry about my...outburst.I'm still excited about the interview" she said. "So why do you think you're a good fit for my company?"I asked the most basic question I had asked all day."I think I would be a good fit for your company because I am hardworking, I can endure copious amounts of pressure and not crack and for a company like yours, I believe it is an asset. I am diligent and hardworking and am good with organization and detailing, life taught me that...." she said with a sad smile "...I am also relatable, if you're wo
SAMANTHA'S POV"What the hell is your problem?! you're such a shitty driver!' Rick screamed at the passing car that had almost run us over."It's okay. Rick" I tried to calm him down."It is not okay. That reckless driver would have almost killed us had it not been for my lightning reflexes "he said annoyed.I couldn't hide the laughter that had slipped out of my mouth."What?" he turned to face me, staring back at me like I had a mental issue."It's all right. You just have to chill.We're okay" I told him.Letting out a deep breath, he calmed down.Turning to me now, he gripped my hand excitedly."So you were telling me about the interview before that driver rudely interrupted "I shook my head."I'll tell you everything. At home. Let's go home."I said softly. Pulling his arm in the direction of the car.The drive back was quiet. Rick was supportive without goading me for answers. He knew that I would eventually tell him when I was ready so he didn't force the conversation.Back hom

Nora chirped jumping up and down just to get a good look of her baby sister."Yes!I finally have a sister. Thank you mummy!"she said excitedly.I laughed.Manuel planted a soft kiss on my forehead."You did great Samantha thank you for eveything. Thank you for coming into my life. "He said softly settling in the chair beside my bed with the baby in his arms."She's so tiny dad"Rey said in disbelief.I laughed."Yes she is darling. "He responded."Its amazing. Were we really this tiny too when we were little?" Finn added.My heart filled with joy looking at my family.Martha stood at Manuel's side with the baby in her arms and a warm smile on her face. While my kids surrounded Manu
SAMANTHA POVMy mind trailed back to all the seasons in our lives that seemed difficult that we never imagined we would scale through but we did. And I was eternally grateful to having the fate to meet Manuel in my life.He was indeed a blessing in my life.We had fought multiple times.***FLASHBACK***"There is no way that I will have a relationship in secret and I will never stand here and watch as other men sniff after what's mine" He told me grimly."I'm not an object!"I shouted.He arched a brow at me."No matter what you do now,you can't take it back. You're mine"he stated matter of factly."You're not saying that you love me but that I need to stay with you forever "I said."You're mated to me now.No man would be foolish enough to come close to you not when you belong to me now. "he said, pulling on his pants.I opened my mouth to speak but we were interrupted by the soft knock on the door."Mommy!"Nova's voice called out.I wrapped my robe tighter around my body. Walking over
MANUEL'S POVWe had come a long way. There was a lot of past behind us.I recalled all the moments I feared we wouldn't make it last.***FLASHBACK***How long will you keep up this act?"I asked."Am sorry, what act?" She asked feigning innocence.I groaned in frustration."You do not know what I went through there.They helped me and I couldn't just let your jealously get the best of you and have you laying baseless accusations against someone that had done absolutely nothing to you"I spoke.I watched as her expression changed with each word I spoke."Jealousy? Baseless accusations?" she repeated.I groaned out."You know that's not what I meant by that.I just...She turned to walk away. My hand snaked out to grip her arm."Manuel,let me go."She told me trying to struggle out of my grasp."Don't walk away from me when am talking to you."I warned holding her tighter."Manuel,let me go!" She cried.I saw tears pooled around her eyes as she struggled to break free.I dragged her into my of
SAMANTHA'S POVFive months later..."Why would you say that?"I heard his voice say in a hushed whisper."Is mummy sleeping?" Nora said."Look.Look.."Finn cried."Samantha?"Manuel spoke up"Doctor!she's awake!she's awake!"I heard him calling out.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the intense glare of the overhead lightning.I raised my hand to cover my eyes until my eyes adjusted to the light.When the doctor were done with their tests and my vitals were checked, I watched the relief on all their faces.From Micheal and a beautiful female who was glued to his side.I couldn't hide the smile that crept up on my face which he returned with a boyish grin.My kids ran up to me.And with Manuel's help I was able to get them all on my bed.I was seated with my unbelievably huge belly inbetween my thighs.I had been told that I was asleep for over five months and that there had been any sort of hope of me recovering. And that it was a Miracle that I had survived evenafter loo
MANUEL'S POVOne second.Two seconds passed but still nothing.My heart pounding in my chest as I waited for the people to speak. The council looked smug on their table as they watched the tumult of emotions that passed through my face as I watched the crowd."Alpha Manuel!" Someone shouted from the crowd."Long live Alpha Manuel!" Another rose to cheer.And the rest stood chanting.Soon the room is filled with eruptions of cheers and claps as they chorused their answer."Long live Alpha Manuel!"They chanted in harmony."Order!order this minute! "The speaker rose shouting at the top of his lungs until the rook went silent again."You have all made your choice and we have all taken it into consideration. But until we have reached a final consensus, Alpha Manuel will be stripped of the Alpha Position and his Beta Rdyer will resume duties in his place until the trial is finalised."the man declared.The room erupted in an uproar of angry emotions."How dare you!"I shouted stilling the cr
MANUEL'S POV"What is this Manuel?" I cried."Where have you been?!" He said through gritted teeth."What is that supposed to mean?Are you monitoring my whereabouts now?"I asked in disbelief."Just tell me where you were Dammit!" He said.I jerked backwards at his raised voiceHe took steps backwards pacing away from me,running a hand through his hair."Why are you getting angry at me for?" She cried."You ...you've been having an affair all this while and I didnt know.How couldn't I have known. "I told her.Her mouth grew agape in feigned shock.I felt my blood boil mat the thought that she thought she could deceive me."Where is all this coming from Manuel?"She asked.I couldn't let her know that it was Maeve because it wasn't. All Maeve did was comform a suspicion that I've had for the longest time."That's not important. What's important is the fact that you've been secretive,absent and distant for a while now"'I told her.She raised her hand up in exasperation."That's because I
SAMANTHA'S POV"I don't think it would be easy to be able to find out the culprits" Steve said as he sat across from her sipping his coffee.We were seated in a coffee shop at the far end of town for a stakeout. We had found a recurring name in my mom's journal, Zain.My mom had described him as a nut-head that had wanted her mated to him.He had gone as far as going to her parents to get them arranged to be wed but she had blatantly turned him down stating that she loved my father who had appeared strategically in her life at the time.And after much difficulty they were wedded On their wedding day he had barged into her dressing room and threatened her to leave with him but she had refused. He had vowed that day that their marriage wouldn't last and that if It wasn't him that no-one would have her and that she should bid her time well and that the click had already began ticking.He had been dragged out because he had refused their offer of being escorted out.It did sound like th
MANUEL'S POV"Why the hell did you not take care of this Manuel?You didn't even tell me?!"cris scolded.I walked past him, pushing the door open to walk into my office as he trailed behind me."Everything that I did,I did for all of us. "I responded settling back in my cushioned chair."But still...Manuel what the hell were you thinking? Did you really think that you were going to keep this a secret forever?" He chastised leaning closer."I was hoping that nobody found out about it.That’s why I don’t understand how it was revealed and..."I explained...And you know that no matter what truce you may have called with the council, they were going to flick around this piece of information like vultures prey looking for their next dead meat"Cris finished. He slammed his fist on the desk with a bang. Unfazed I stared at the dent that he had made onmy furniture."Manuel it's not about you killing him. Everyone knew he deserved it but you had to know that eventually the truth would be reveal
SAMANTHA'S POV"Manuel Wait!Stop!"I said moving my lips away from his,moving my head to the side.His hand gripped my jaw stilling my movement."Samantha please let me.I love you. And I want to show you"he pleaded.I stared into his eyes watching his dark beautiful orbs glistening with desire.Desire for me.I nodded.He let out a sigh of relief,bringing his lips down towards my lips.Bringing his lips dangerously close to my lips,he nibbled on my lower lips waiting. The pain in my arm was forgotten as he pinned me closer to his body,bringing my belly closer to fill his need for me.I tried to side step him but wasn't successful, instead he lifted me up unto the desk, prying my thighs apart he slipped in between them wrapping my legs around his waist to cage me in.he growled impatiently slamming his lips unto mine.He rode my skirt higher up to reveal my red lace panties.His eyes lingered for a while before ripping them off."Manuel!"I exclaimed."I love the way you say my name"he said
