On my way home, I turn to Michael and frown a little intrigued. He turns to me and smiles "Is something wrong?" he asked "How do you know Alpha Bennet?" I asked. "What are you talking about? Everyone knows him, he's the alpha of the pack and the CEO of New Moon Group" Michael replied mockingly. "I know, but he's a man who doesn't talk to his employees or pack members, and now they're talking to you?"At that moment, Michael let out a smile "Oh, you mean that? I don't know, I'm the director of the finance area, I guess he likes how I run the department" he said before pausing "And you, how do you know him?""What?""It's obvious that you guys are on good terms. You even interrupted me in the middle of a conversation with him and yet he said nothing. Another time, that will be an insult our alpha, you could even be punished" he said, making my eyes widen like saucers. I couldn't help but frown at his words. Then I remembered the time Bennett scolded me when I left his office withou
The next day, my eyes felt heavy. I was very exhausted, I hadn't slept well lately. I got out of bed and took a shower. When I got out, I put on comfortable clothes and went to class.As soon as I got to school, Anna ran up to me. "Damn, what bad news" she said. "What's wrong?" I asked, arching an eyebrow. "Karla won't be back for two months. She's staying at her brother's dorm, it looks like she's met her mate" said Anna, sitting down on the bench next to me. "That's great!" I said.I was glad Karla met her mate, but, at the same time, I hoped she would have better luck than me. After talking a bit, we both went to class, but during the break she couldn't help but ask me about Bennett, so I told her everything that had happened."What, you mean he didn't reject you?" Anna said. "Apparently, he doesn't want to lose his alpha title," I said. "I think he lied to you. It's obvious that he can't contain himself to the bond and that's why he doesn't want to reject you. Besides, he'
At one point I thought Delilah was just pretending, but it was obvious that she was in love with Freddy, which was quite funny to me. "Why are you doing this? I love you" She said sobbing. "Stop it, I don't want you to come near me again! If you don't want to get fired from the Alpha's company for that project that everyone knows didn't cost you anything" Freddy shouted.At his words, Delilah's eyes went wide. She reached out to take Freddy's hand, but he quickly pulled his hand away."Please, Freddy, you can't. You can't do this to me. You can't do this to me, I worked too hard for that job!"When I heard those words, I couldn't help but let out a smirk Hard work? This had to be a joke. "What? All you did was steal another girl's project!"Everyone around him immediately started muttering. On the other hand, I was quite surprised that Freddy had said that. Did he really believe me when I said Delilah had stolen my project? "What are you talking about? I would never do that! Who t
Classes resumed and Anna and I parted ways. After a few hours, we returned to the garden and met Max, who came over and kissed Anna gently. I loved seeing them so adorable together. "We're going out this Saturday, you should come with us" Max said, sitting Anna on his lap. "This Friday?" I asked with a raised eyebrow."Yes, is that okay with you?" asked Anna with a pout on her lips. "It's fine with me" I said shrugging my shoulders. "Perfect, I'll talk to the rest of the guys" said Max pulling out his phone. When I heard that, my eyes widened like two plates" What are you talking about? What friends? Wouldn't it just be us?" I asked. "The guys... It will be less awkward" he said looking at Anna. She took my hand and smiled "It's just a group outing, besides, you can invite your friend. Michael, right?" I asked confused."Michael?" I asked confused. "Yes, you said he also works at New Moon Group. You should invite him and become friends with him, after all you will need him"
When the clock struck four in the afternoon, my break came, I got up from my desk and left my office, but as soon as I walked down the hallway I noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense. The employees looked frightened, as if something horrible was about to happen. I approached one of the secretaries in the department, who were muttering. "Did you already know? This morning's meeting was a failure!" said one of the secretaries. "What meeting? What's going on?" I asked, oblivious to what had happened.After all, I had arrived after leaving the institute, so I had no idea what they were talking about. "The meeting with the alpha of the northern packs. Apparently, we lost the project. They won it!" the woman said.My eyes widened like two saucers when I heard that. The northern pack was the one that Alpha Sloan had mentioned. "Yes, by showing up, Alpha Sloan only came here to brag about his success to Alpha Bennett. Now the alpha is furious!" said the secretary.As soon as I h
Bennett's mocking laughter was faint and sarcastic, and his expression turned grim as he turned back to me and grabbed my hands to lift me off the ground. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can make fun of me?" he hinted, clenching his jaw. "I... I... I don't know what you're talking about. Why do you think it was me who shared information about your project?"Bennett's eyes widened in surprise and he spat out a fucking creepy sneer "I never mentioned that. You said it yourself, you fucking bitch! Did you do it to get back at me? You wanted to bring me down? Well you failed, I'm alpha fucking Bennett and a stupid project won't make any change. What you won was my hate!""I know someone shared information, because Michael told me..." Before I could finish, Bennett let loose again as he arched an eyebrow and his gaze grew darker. My words seemed to push him over the edge. "Michael?" he said, with a mischievous grin "But you're already sleeping with my finance manager? Looki
From Bennett's point of view,I never thought Hester could go this far. She had not only ruined my engagement to the alpha's daughter, but she had also lied about my brother, and now she had sold out my project. It was obvious that she was very greedy and malevolent. I wanted to confront her and wipe that cynical smile off her face, but she was so fucking beautiful and my wolf wouldn't let me vent my anger. The reality was that it had been almost five days since I had kicked her out of my company. I was so furious with her that I yelled at her in front of everyone, regardless of the humiliation I was causing her. I just didn't want to see her again. How could she betray me like that?As I was thinking about it, I was sitting in my office with a frown on my face. I had come out of a tedious meeting and I couldn't help but look over at the glass compartment and feel terrible. I had spent every day of my last month watching her work in her office. She was meticulous in her work, knew
I had been thinking for days that something was wrong. I couldn't understand the reason why Hester had betrayed me.Even though Solange had a good argument, something inside me kept bothering me. I couldn't help but keep thinking about it, so I calmly reviewed the records of the employees' bank accounts. As I was looking at them, my eyes widened like saucers when one of the records caught my attention."Five million dollars?", I thought to myself.I quickly looked at the account owner's information and sighed, "Solange?". Apparently, she had received five million dollars five days before she fired Hester. Thinking about that, I grabbed the phone from my desk and called my beta. "Alpha, is something wrong?" Derek asked. "Derek, take care of investigating everything about this bank account. I also want to know who is the owner of the last transaction made" I said. "Of course" hinted Derek before hanging up. I immediately sent him the account details and waited. I sharpened my elbo
"Guys, don't worry. I'm fine" I said turning my eyes back to the scenery through the window. The reality was that I felt bad for them, that they were so worried about me. I had acted like a strong woman next to them, but inside I was falling apart a little. However, I was acting under my own judgment, and my friends had no idea that I had been helping other packs win New Moon Group projects. In fact, I could never tell them that, it would put them in danger and I couldn't do it. On the other hand, I told them about my visits to the homeless children's institute. So, on the way, I broke the silence and told them about the adventure of Terrens and his bewitching girlfriend. The three of us laughed and made fun of the way Terrens used to sneak out at night to meet the girl. ***After almost 30 minutes of driving, Max finally parked the car in front of the huge Sprouse building. As soon as I looked out the window, I swallowed hard and got out of the car. It was a hotel known for i
Anna and Max were standing in the doorway with smiles from ear to ear. They were both dressed in fancy and fun clothes. "Wow, now it's a surprise to see us?" Anna said with a teasing gesture. I rolled my eyes and invited them into the house "I'm just surprised to see you here. Did something happen?" I asked, inviting them to sit on the couch.However, they both exchanged glances with a mischievous chuckle "We're not sitting down.... We came for you" "For me?" I asked confused. "Yes, you're going with us" said Max.Anna arched an eyebrow and scanned the living room as they peeked up the stairs "I guess your mom's asleep, huh?""Yes, she just went to bed" Why, can you tell me what's going on here?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest. Max let out a groan as he walked over to the table and leaned on it with his arms crossed "Have you forgotten? Today is my sister's engagement announcement. So go and get changed, we're going out". My eyes widened like saucers when I heard that.
"Bennett, how can you let her off so easily?"As soon as I heard that, I took a puff on my cigarette and waved my hand in disinterest. "Come on, if that woman keeps leaking company information, we'll become a laughingstock! Shit, have you forgotten everything we've lost because of her bullshit? She can send us to the back of the pack" Derek exclaimed, clenching his fists on my desk. "As the pack alpha, I'm the one taking losses, it shouldn't be your concern" I said softly. At my words, Derek's shoulders shrugged "Fuck, brother, that woman will make you lose everything you've been trying to accomplish for years..." he said with a smirk.He stood up, walked over to the minibar and grabbed a glass of whiskey "I know that, as alpha, I'm the only one who loses out in all of this and I'm sure she knows that all too well. But what's her motive,” he asked. His questions made me feel furious. I couldn't help but remember the look on Hester's face in the restaurant. For a moment, however,
I turned my gaze back slowly and rested it on Bennett, who, strangely, had his eyes on me. "Is something wrong, Gamma Lucas?" he asked me with a raised eyebrow.I wanted to ask Bennett something, but I was silent for a second, trying to find the right words. "If you're not going to say anything, get out of here" Bennett added, with an annoyed tone. "Alpha, when will you break the mate bond with my sister?" finally, the question left my lips.As soon as I asked that, Bennett's calm expression changed from one second to the next. His eyes turned black and his hand closed the laptop in front of him. I was confused by his sudden change of mood. In fact, for months I tried to understand what was going through his mind, but I couldn't figure out why he wouldn't break the bond with Hester. "Alfa, I thank you very much for caring about my sister and for not punishing her. I know you decided to close the border so that bastard can't come back and get close to her" I added taking a step
From Lucas' point of viewFrom inside the car, I felt like my chest was going to explode. I knew Benente only wanted to talk to me because of my sister, who looked like she wanted to be killed at all costs by the alpha. "Alpha. I know my sister was disrespectful and she is making a huge mistake. But please have mercy on her life and forgive her" I said trying to apologize on her behalf. "Pity her? Forgive her for revealing relevant information about our business and causing my company to lose several projects to enemy packs?" Hearing Bennett's words, my eyes widened, it was clear that my sister's actions were not reputable. She had betrayed her own alpha.However, what surprised me most was knowing how confidently Bennett spoke. Did he always know that she was the one leaking information and that was why they had lost several projects?"Alpha, as a gamma in your pack, it is my duty to stand up to problems, even if they are serious. So, on behalf of my sister, I apologize to you. I
Bennett's eyes widened and one eyebrow rose "Your private life?”Before I stopped Bennett's gaze and looked at Alpha Sloan, a mischievous smirk peeked at my lips. I licked my lips and intertwined our arms. "In fact, Alpha Bennett, I came here with Alpha Sloan on a date, but you and your people have interrupted us" I said with a grimace. With a pout on my lips, I turned my gaze to Sloan "We'll have to finish the appointment another time, please don't be offended by this misunderstanding".Alpha let out a slight smile as he used his other hand to stroke my grip gently "Don't worry, honey. We can have a second date when you're free, huh?" he said with a smile. Fortunately Sloan had understood my intentions, so he smiled as he pulled me closer to his shoulder. On the other hand, I could see Bennett's gaze on Sloan's grip and mine. However, I had no idea what was going through his mind. Without saying anything, I let go of Sloan's arm and walked toward Lucas "Since this is over, I'll
From Hester's point of view. As soon as my eyes fell on that man, my heart began to beat fast. He was very handsome in his black suit, dark glasses and perfectly slicked back hair. I clenched my fists trying to calm down. I couldn't let myself fall in front of that man. For months I had avoided him at all costs, but I knew that at some point we would meet again. Thinking about it, I was a little surprised: he hadn't changed much, even his cold and heartless expression was still intact on his face. "Hester, what are you doing here?" Lucas' voice snapped me out of my trance. He was staring at me in disbelief, as if his hopes that I wasn't the traitor had vanished. I could smell the disappointment in his pores. However, there was no evidence against me. With a faint smile on my lips, I looked at him "What am I doing here? Is it a sin to be in this place? " I asked with an innocent expression. Lucas opened his eyes completely surprised; for his part, Bennett let out a slight grunt
The restaurant manager and the rest of the waiters ran toward the entrance of the building with their eyes lowered. I hadn't even realized the man's enormous power. I couldn't help but clench my fingers in my glass and feel concern for the girl sitting in front of me. I had spoken to the manager before I came to live here; Alpha Benetti nor any of his men were supposed to have reservations. At that I looked at Hester and then pulled out my phone to call the owner of the restaurant. I shit myself, was there a serious problem at the restaurant? Why would that man come here like that? Thinking about it, I noticed that my hands had frozen. However, my eyes widened as the men lined up and a man in a black suit and black glasses got out of the car and entered the building. The man gave off an air of darkness that made everyone in the restaurant pay attention to him. Although his eyes were hidden by his black glasses, I could see the darkness flooding them. On the other hand, all th
I put my phone away with a smile and changed my clothes. I looked out the window for a moment and saw that Alesso had already entered the institute. I quietly walked out of the room and saw Alesso sitting in Craige's office. "Mr. Craige, I must go" I said politely. Alesso looked at my face, but I did not respond to his greeting. I just walked over to Craige's desk and smiled. The reality is that eleven months ago, when Bennett broke my heart, I completely ignored everyone involved in the mansion, and with the Alpha. With the exception of Lucas, who was my brother, I decided to turn a blind eye to all of them. "You're leaving so fast?" Craige asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, I wanted to take the girls to the mall for the weekend and... "Before I could finish speaking, Alesso got up from his chair and walked over to us.I looked at the man and sighed before looking back at Craige "So?"Craige was silent for a few seconds "Delta is right, don't you think it's dangerous to go
