Chapter 66

last update Last Updated: 2023-09-05 06:25:04

Mrs James got what she wanted. A position at the firm. Nightfall Gems was just within reach.

She was sure to gang up against Rowan. And take over his position from him.

She smiled her usual.

Yet she still couldn’t shake off the empty feeling at the pit of her stomach.

What man will love her and fulfil her the way Didi did?

She had been a shadow of herself since the day he died.

But tried to hide it by getting back what she gave up.

She felt that would console her wounded heart.

How wrong she was.

Now she was just waiting for her son to get back home.

She rested her back comfortably against the executive chair in her office – flipping through some files and jotting things down.

Then she saw a figurehead walk into her office.

The audacity of that bitch.

“You just got my secretary fired. How could she have allowed you in here?”

“Good luck to her. She’d get to not work for an evil mastermind like you.” Gabriella stood astride her, hands akimbo.

“Thank goodness you acknowledge that I’m a m

    “Can I take you out sometime? I love me a smart lady. I don’t mind treating you to something nice that is befitting for a smart lady like you.”Gabriella was thrown off guard.“Why are you asking me out of the blue? Now you trying to get in my good graces so you could get some of Didi’s will, right?” Gabriella wasn’t going to be taken for a fool.“Oh no. You got it mixed up. I think you are a wonderful woman deserving of the world. And it was wrong of me to try to fight properties with you. I remember how much you meant to Didi. I’m not surprised he had you on that will. You were his next best thing after his son.” Rowan got down to the details.“I’m glad you realize all that. But I’m not cool with you wanting to mate your uncle’s girl. He would be rolling in his grave if we did that.”“Whoever said anything about mating? I just wanted to take you out on a date.”“And we all know what follows after a date.”“Except you are interested in mating me, I won’t overstep my boundary. I’m sur

    Rowan let his guard down during the date – telling Gabriella of his fears and vulnerabilities about work and home. “Sasha is that escape for me. You know everyone has got an outlet. Your is to cause trouble.” Rowan snickered. “Trouble. Really. My escape is to go on dates with men who can have deep conversations like you do. Though I know you only trying to get me to open up by opening up to me about some emotional rollercoaster you are putting yourself through.” “So now you trying to complement me in style. I think I prefer the saucy Gabriella.” “Still saucy. I only show that side when appropriate. The situation doesn’t call for it.” “And no, this is not any game than it is for you. It takes everything for a man to open up to a man. It’s a lot.” “And you open up so easily. It’s either two things - you are trying to get at me. And the second thing is, it’s not working.” Rowan continued on the conversation he was having about Quinn. “Quinn is never in agreement with anything I do

    “I wonder why you aren’t scared of my dad. He will be so disappointed if he ever hears you are mating his daughter as his friend.” “Friends help each other - that’s why. Your dad is not a saint. Just because he puts on his church hat doesn’t mean he is any better than I am. And besides no one is there to tell him about us except you.” “Good. I’m glad you remember that. Hope you also remember my dad can be worse than death. So you could be asking for a death wish by trying to sneak up on me. Don’t get too smart with me Rowan. The only place I’d be nice to you is in the bedroom.” “I like the sound of that.” “More like I make a sonorous sound in the bedroom - that’s if you’re piping it well though.” “Why not? It’s a skill that develops by itself with age.” “Probably because you regularly sharpen your instrument.” “Life is short. It must be lived to the fullest. Even if you have a gun to my head, I’d still beg to fuck you. It’s always been my fantasy to know the kind of women Didi c

    “Fine, you have my support. Though I’m sad this is how it has got to be. So how long would you like to keep my office?” “I thought you’d never ask. Once the smoke has died down.” “I think we are done here. I got to leave this moment.” “C’mon now, are you leaving out of anger? Don’t start to see me as your enemy.” “You have always been. Maybe a frenemy is better.” “Look. I mean no harm. I just want to know what it’s like to be in power. And that’s gonna be for a while. In the process, I’d be helping you conquer Mrs. James.” “I don’t need your help. I’m not a weakling.” “Of course, you are not a weakling. But she is no match for me either. I just want to fight her woman-to-woman. I never liked her with Didi.” “So this is about Didi.” “It has always been about Didi.” “Is that why you are going after everything she is going after?””Now you get the bigger picture. I really want half of Didi’s wealth because he willed that to me. But the rest of the things I seem to want is just t

    “Baby I need your help. I know you hate me and I’m a bad husband to you. But I can never be a bad father to you. I need your cooperation this time around. Otherwise your reputation as Luna will be jeopardized.”“Are you threatening me?” Quinn snorted.“I’m not baby. I have a lot of enemies at work - trying to pull me down. I need you to stand by me.”“Is this the reason you came back home? Did you and Sasha have a fallout?”“My love, everything is not about Sasha.”“It sure looks like it.”“Right now, my focus is you.”“And the future belongs to Sasha.”“I didn’t say so. Don’t make this any harder on me. I’m trying to correct my wrongs.”“I see. Keep pretending. Can’t wait for the real beast in you to come out.”“Baby, can’t we ever agree together.”“I think we can agree to disagree.”“Quinn, Gabriella is after me. She has gotten me. She wants my position at the firm.”“Then give it to her.”“Are you crazy? How could you say a thing like that? We need an heir.”“So this is where you w

    Nightfall Gems was in an uproar at the announcement.Gabriella Ludwig was now the new CEO of Nightfall Gems.Something was amiss.And that same day, Ludwig showed up at Rowan’s office.“Why would you give my daughter your company? Does she have something against you?”“I willingly gave it to her in the meantime.”“Why would you do that? I need an explanation. What you did was a bad idea.”“Not exactly so. Things haven’t been good with Quinn and me. I need some time with her. We have become something else with each other.”“That’s no formidable excuse for you to lose your company to that cunny daughter of mine. I know she has something up her sleeves. She has something she could use against you. Why aren’t you opening up to me?”“My man, relax. I’ve got it under control. You make it sound like I’m no longer the CEO of Nightfall Gems.”“Of course you aren’t!”“All this is a camouflage. Gabriella wants to take her pound of flesh from Mrs. James. And I just gave her that opportunity. That

    “I’m in trouble, Mrs James. Pls, I need your help.”“Rowan, everyone is shocked except me. How could you give out your company without reason? Anyway, the answer is not too far-fetched - you were trying to get rid of me. But you had no idea you were throwing your pearls at the dogs. Look where that got you to. Anyway, I’m not angry with you. You were just a pawn in my game. And Gabriella got you before you realized.” Mrs James crossed her legs as she scribbled something down on paper.“I need your help. Lugwig was in on this with his daughter. They planned this all along. They want my company.”“I stand to be corrected - they already have your company. And what were you thinking? That Ludwig was on your side? Oh no. You should be more aware of people who pretend to be nice. They could be the most deadly.”“Tell me something I don’t know. I need your help.”“I think you’d be needing Quin’s help. Not mine. Having an heir who isn’t as gullible as you are will be a miracle. How can I even

    “Oh, mum. I’m so glad to see you. Look how plump and robust you have become. Must be healthy living.” Peter was back in the country. He had missed home. And everyone in it. “I’ve missed you so much, son. How were your studies abroad? Did you meet your fated mate there? I’m a bit worried you are 25 now. And yet to find your mate. Probably now that you are back home – you’d meet her.” “I met her once at the airport. But I was on the run. And I felt she’d only deter my travelling. Now I regret not ever approaching her for her contact details or a chit-chat.” “Oh, you don’t say. How could you ignore your fated mate?” “I regret it so much. I just pray the Moon Goddess will bring her my way again.”“Hmmm. I doubt it. In any case, did you meet anyone you liked abroad?” “None mum. My mind had been on that lady at the airport. I just wish I could reverse time. I’d change a lot of things.” “Same here. Like marrying my husband. He’s the janitor now. I’m getting back at him for all those ye

    “Can you not turn Nightfall Gems into a club? It serves a bigger purpose than that.” Quinn took the courage to have a one-on-one conversation with Warrior Nun. “I know you are saying this because of Fenris. Don’t worry – he has the option of working in my club as a male stripper.” Quinn’s face squeezed in disgust. “Mind you, my club will be the biggest in town. No cap.” “Not my man having to strip in front of thirsty ladies.” “Oh, I forgot. You don’t share. How boring.” “Warrior Nun, I know it’s entirely your decision to make. But kindly consider all the other workers in the company.” “I’d gladly welcome them to Nightfall Club.” “This club might be your downfall,” Quinn uttered audaciously. “You are so brutally honest. This is why I love to work with you. At the same time, there are boundaries. Don’t overstep.” “I won’t bring up this discussion anymore.” Just then, a text beeped from an unknown number on Quinn’s phone. Can we meet at Sunflower Park? I’m Gamma Luke. We only

    “Are you still insistent on serving Rowan when you can pledge allegiance to me?” Warrior Nun took over from Nadia. Nadia was outside the camp by now whispering some words to Luke. He was going to take over Gamma Tris's position if he remained stubborn. But if he obliged, then he’d merely be a soldier in his army. Back at the tent where Gamma Tris was tied up by his men and forced to his knees, he spat at Warrior Nun. “Over my dead body will I bow to you? If my men can betray me doesn’t mean I can do the same to Rowan.”“Are you sure?” Warrior Nun placed a sharp dagger softly across his cheeks. “I’m giving you five minutes.” “Kill me right now!” Gamma Tris remained insistent. “I will grant your wish. Any last words?” “I already gave Rowan my last words when I visited in prison.” Hardly had he finished and a bullet riveted at his chest, pummelling him to the ground. His death was instantaneous and a shock even to the men who had forsaken him. “Anyone who wouldn’t serve me can

    “You are Nadia, right?” Gamma cups her chin to take a closer look at her.He admired her features.She was beautiful and curvy. Just the way he liked his women.“You know why you are here?” He taunted.“I know you want to sleep with me. I have no choice. I need the money. And I’ve been unable to get a decent job since I left prison.”“Sad to hear that. If you please me good, I could find something for you.” Gamma Tris had his eyes stayed on her cleavage that was threatening to spill into his lips – or anywhere he put.“Thank you so much my Gamma.” She spoke softly, her voice dripping in lust.“You are so beautiful. Which pack are you from?”“The Silver Fang Pack.”“Oh, the same pack as Alpha Rowan.”“Yes, my Gamma.”He loved it when she called him ‘my Gamma.’But noticing his face turn into a frown, she felt she had done something wrong.Gamma Tris noticed and put her mind at ease. “You didn’t offend me. Anytime I remember Rowan is behind bars, I become filled with sadness.”“Do not b

    Pam lay on the bed – sore and exhausted. Luke was fast asleep after intense hard work on her.Warrior Nun’s call woke him up.He almost didn’t pick up.“May I know why you are calling?” Luke sounded irritated on the phone.“I guess you’d be needing more than 3 days to tell me a yes.” Warrior Nun admitted.“I’m glad you caught up quickly.”“What’s the plan on your end?”“I want to work for you if you would like me to sell my shares.”“That’s a bonus! I won’t have it any other way. Are you skilled in military affairs? I know you have worked in the Modelling agency for quite a while. A fine man like you will do justice to my army.”Did she just mention an army? Luke thought to himself.“You’ve got an army?”“Not yet, my boy. But very soon.” Warrior Nun stated.“All right. I’m skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship.”“Lovely. I know you have a lot of skills and talents. You have been enlisted.”“Just like that?” Luke was marvelled.“Yup. Just like that. How would you like to be the nex

    He laid her on the bed the way he wanted it.He helped her with removing those panties.Pam’s heart was beating fast in anticipation and excitement.Anticipation because she was dying to have him in her bed. Looking forward to walking the third heavens with him.Sex with Luke was always on another level. It was always like she had never had sex before she met him.He always put in her almost comatose situations and asthmatic orgasms that left her believing the true gospel.Excitement because she knew Luke was beastly in bed. He never took it easy on her even when she begged him to stop.But she had always been a greedy slut. Taking on more than she can handle.With his attention directed at her well-shaven pussy, he couldn’t wait to slide into her smooth sex with his weapon of war.He splayed her legs as wide as he wanted her and angled himself at her wet entrance.Taking in deep breaths and ravaging her breasts which she liked very much, he moistened his dick with her labia folds bef

    His need for her plummeted as Luke inched closer to Pam on the bed. After a long week of grieving Sasha, his wolf was giddy with excitement about being intimate with their mate. It’s only been a week and a few days but it felt like decades.Luke was facing her wide-spread legs as he neared the bed. He could smell her arousal.Damn, it was messing with his thinking.He wanted her like he needed oxygen.And he wanted her now.Pam was in a dilemma of hers too. She wanted to know if he felt better. But that would be stupid to ask.Would he ever get over Sasha’s death?Though Sasha never lived as he would have wanted, she was his favourite sister in the world.And even though he may never seem to get over her, she could comfort him in his grief.By allowing him to feast on her. Plenty of feasting to relieve his grief.By now, Pam was getting impatient that he only stared at her and did nothing. Yet she could tell he wanted to jump on her.

    “Can you believe Rowan wants to see Tris?” Quinn hinted at Fenris about getting home.She took off her coat and laid it on the couch.Fenris helped in taking off her heels. “What for?”“I didn’t ask. But I can guess his motives. He wants to advise Tris to submit to Warrior Nun.”“You mean Warrior Nun will approach Tris for his loyalty too?”“No, she will want to kill him as Rowan’s trusted man. But if Rowan can get Tris to act before she does; that’d be better for him.”“I see. Rowan cares so much about his men. He doesn’t mind them being disloyal to save their heads.”“It’s understandable. They’ve got wives and children back home. They gave their lives to the Nightshade pack.”“Good intentions from Rowan. But I bet Tris is going to listen.”“His end is near.” Quinn couldn’t agree more.“Did Ludwig sign those papers?” Fenris anticipated her response.“What do you think?” Quinn gave her a victorious smile.” My magic worked. Ludwig recognises he has lost everything. I had my man tell hi

    “Haven’t had anyone visit me in a long while. Surprised you came.” Rowan was grateful for Quinn’s visit. Whether it was to rant at him or blame him for everything happening at Nightfall, he didn’t mind. He was simply happy she was here. If she were here to simply be a listening ear, that’d ease his sorrow. He could hold on to the thought of this moment till he breathed his last. “I’m sorry I’ve not come to visit all this while.” Quinn offered an apology. “You are here now. Besides, I’m the one who owes you an apology.” There was a moment of silence. “Hope your cell mates aren’t any trouble? How has it been in here?” Quinn asked concerned for him. “This is my home forever now. I had better get used to it. But you know, I’m a tough man. I get along well with my cellmates.” “Glad to hear that.” “It’s funny how we are a better couple when I’m behind bars. I’m sorry for all those times I mistreated you.” Rowan gave her a sad smile with regret written all over her face.“A couple

    “Would you like to work for me?” That was Warrior Nun on the phone – offering Mr James a deal. “Is this the reason you let me go and didn’t kill me like the rest?” “You smart. Now you are left with the decision to make.” Warrior Nun spoke softly. Mr James breathed heavily. He had no choice but to bow between the laps of a woman who paraded herself as a nun. “What would you have me do?” “Quinn wants me coming over to her place. She succeeded in killing my girl.” “So you want me to go over there and get myself killed too?” “Far from it. I need you to prove your loyalty to me by going there.” “That’s bullshit.” “No curse words, son.” Mr. James crunched his face in disgust. Who was she to call me son? “Are you scared of dying in her hands? I won’t send you to kill yourself. Even if you wished for death right now, I won’t allow you to die.” “Okay. Fine. Whatever you would have me do provided that you can guarantee my safety.” “You know I can’t guarantee you anything. You hav
