The sound of water flowing keeps me from losing my mind as I stroll along the riverside walkway. With dark clouds in the sky and no sunlight to bask in, I take deep breaths of the cold air and sigh heavily."This is difficult," I whisper to myself.Plop!Plop!!One by one drops of rain landed on my face, the skies could barely hold back and it began to drizzle, the temperature dropping drastically and I had to run to shelter as I could sense the coming rain was no joke.Making a run for safety, I feel a heavy blow against my skirt, "sh*t!" I cry out of frustration as I try holding it down from both sides while I run."This looks like a nice spot," a cafe door was wide open, although not literally, the sign on the door did say "open."I make my way inside and take shelter before the rain can outrun me.I shiver as I make my way inside, my teeth gnashing against each other and my arms tightly wrapped around me."This feels like perfect weather for two," I mutter to myself with a chuckle
"I know the laws are against what I'm about to do," she says to me, her eyes staring elsewhere as her fingers fidget, "but I refuse to let them or fate decide for me, my husband isn't nostalgic for me, we've lost our touch, and now I don't want to be separated from my cubs."Staring at her I realize how well she suits her role as a Luna.There's no way any woman I know or have come across will be able to fill in the shoes of this strong-willed woman."But that'll be difficult, I mean they're heirs to his legacy, I doubt the pack would be willing to let you separate from either of them, if you're granted a divorce and not custody, it'll mean you may never see them again," I tell her.Our worlds fall silent, she knows I'm telling the truth, and it hurts me that this is also the unfortunate truth.I wouldn't want to be separated from them either."Well…" she says with a straight face, "that's the reason why I'm here, that's why you're my only option."Her eyes are filled with a burning w
Thud!I shut the door gently, making my way to my table, suddenly my office echoes all around."Gosh!" I yell, jumping out of terror as I stare at my desk. It's the office intercom. Relieved, I hurried to my desk to answer before the call could end.A glance and I roll my eyes, it's from Dexter's office. I surely wasn't expecting his calls anytime soon."Come to my office, immediately," his tone is sharp, cold as always, and very commanding.He sounds like he's in a terrible mood, and I don't think I have it in me to add to his anger so he could take it upon me.This doesn't seem like good timing and yet I can't seem to dodge this one.Dragging my feet to Dexter's office, I groan annoyingly, this should be the sixth time I'm making such a sound. The closer I draw, the more my anxiety rises as I wonder what he has to ask of me.Finally, the elevator opens and I'm facing the door to his office."You can do it," I tell myself to add a little boost of encouragement.Knock! Knock!!"Come i
Unable to move as I am under him, I simply stare waiting to see what he will do next, but all Dexter does is growl while breathing heavily.It's embarr*ssing being so close like this but I don't want to be the one who turns away and looks like a coward so I keep staring at him, and the both of us engage in long staring contests."Tch!" He clicks his tongue before letting my arms go and backing away.Seeing as I had won, I sat upright, watching as Dexter walked back to the window and stared out.I sit upright, arranging my clothes, and walk up to him refusing to let the matter just slip by, since he's he11-bent on not taking up the case. It'll be necessary to know why he thinks so.Or so I thought, "I believe my choices are not against the company's code of conduct, nor are they in violation of the ethics of a lawyer," I say to him.He glances at me quickly, "So what?" He asks."So… that means I'm going to take up the case because clearly, nothing is restricting me from doing so, your
Hahhhhh! I can't believe I said that.Only after chasing Linda away did I realize that I had just thrown Dexter's fiance and an Omega out without any regard.To be fair she had it coming. Recalling the look of shock on her face as she used her two feet to help herself out made me giggle as I returned to my work.Ding!The alarm on my desk goes.I check the time… it's 4 pm sharp. I rise from my seat a little and hurry to the door, sticking my head out as I scam through the environment. It's quiet! It seems a couple of staff members have gone home."Oh my, you're not leaving yet Miss Vida?" My colleague asks, staring at me from her desk.I wave to her and shake my head, "Not yet, I still have a few paperwork to deal with.""Work huh, don't over-exhaust yourself, once you're dead, the most that'll happen is that we'll mourn you, after that, it's back to work," she says while grabbing her bag."...noted," I answered sharply, "alright then goodbye."As cold as her words are, they're very m
I am dragged inside a styling room by the staff and made to change into various outfits with or without my consent.The ladies helping me change continuously add whatever details that cross their path.The silk on my body from the clothes feels so soft and fuzzy that I instantly know that these clothes would cost a fortune."Just what are you thinking, Dexter?" I wonder as I change.Dexter's POV"She's ready," the owner of the boutique says standing at the entrance of the style room.I wait patiently as this dress fitting seems to have taken forever to process, now is a moment of truth.A couple of seconds p*ss and I see no sign of Vida, I can a hearer whispering with the attendants behind the curtains, "Don't you think I look weird?" she keeps asking while the others keep objecting to her belief.I hear her sigh heavily, it seems like she's ready."Alpha," a gl*ss of wine is served on a tray and I turn to take it when I hear the curtains open.Finally…!My jaw drops as I see her walk
Vida's POV"Umm…" He's uncomfortable as he continuously clears his throat and sits back. His eyes were not leaving this dish before him, and he would often make small chuckles.I was wondering why he was so kind and courteous towards me, perhaps he was treating me like he would treat a Luna, not a mere human who's against him."... I don't know what to say," he begins, his fingers fidgeting as he laughs once again. "I wasn't expecting this so forgive my rude behavior.""It's fine," I answered."Vida was it, why did you take up the case if I may ask?"I see the once confident man tremble while he panics, his words at his throat while patiently waiting for my response."As a lawyer, it is my responsibility to defend the helpless, especially those with no one by their side, also I took up the case because I am a mother, and I understand fully well how my client feels," I tell him.Bang!"Have you come to insult me Dexter, or is it that you have a problem with my pack, what have I done to
The rook falls to a standstill after Dexter's words.Raphael's face is immediately gloomy the strong metal salad fork in his hand immediately bends three sixty.I gulp hard in fear of the man before me when a warm hand cups mine. I raise my head and look towards its owner, Dexter with his eyes staring at Raphael gently rubbing my hand."You've got some…""Let's go, Vida," Dexter says, tightly gripping my hand as he has me stand up right after him. "Alpha Raphael, Alpha Catherine, you have a splendid home, and I certainly enjoyed my dinner, till next time."Catherine's chuckling to herself as she eats her dish while Raphael is fuming with rage along with that vixen by his side.We hurry out with Dexter holding my hand, "watch your head," he says gently escorting me inside the car.Perhaps he hasn't realized it yet but he's acting strange, but I like this strange side of him.…Contrary to my expectations, our ride home is rather silent as Dexter doesn't utter a word to me, all he does
