*Meadow*"So who are these guys?" Carter asked finally, nodding at them both."This is Julius, our lawyer, and Kade, our accountant. We brought you a first draft for you to look at. Where is your lawyer?" Caleb asked, pulling me closer to him with a gentle tug of my hand."Tom should arrive any moment, please let's get into the meeting room," He encouraged us and I led the way.Caleb sat on the edge of the table at the left, and pulled me to sit next to him. He strategically left the end for Carter who grinned at the sign of respect. There was no doubt that Caleb knew how to deal with people like him.After a minute, Sarah came in with small coffee cups for all, she has been with him ever since Carter started the business, and she was a wonderful soul who radiated kindness and pride into everything she did, no matter how small. When she passed me my cup, I smiled at her and thanked her, she blushed and remained quiet. A few minutes later, Tom walked in, looking disheveled and apol
*Meadow*"I know what is good when I see it, and I haven't been able to pull away from this one ever since I laid eyes on her," Caleb said while he caressed my hand gently, making me blush. He would always find a way to surprise me with his words."Meadow, what are you planning to do? You have the new implementation plans working better than before, from what I could see on the draft you emailed me. But your role in the company can't stay the same. I need to promote you to head of department now," He said and I was flattered by his trust. I had no way to doubt his intentions, he had shown his trust in me before I was associated with Caleb, and I knew his words were true."I am flattered Mister Carter, but I am not sure I can take the job," I said a little hesitant at first. He frowned and looked at Caleb who lifted both hands as if in surrender. "He has something to do with my decision, but not all of it. I would like to offer you maybe my services as a consultant, if you would agre
*Meadow*I felt my cheeks hot and red as he slowly slid his hands on my body, my breath cut with anticipation. "Caleb... we can't be loud in here..." I warned him, and just as I said those words I realized I was never going to put a stop to his intentions. It was as if his cravings became my own ones, though I was the only one who thought about possible outside consequences."I am not sure I can control myself around you," He whispered to me as he pushed me against the desk; his hands locked briefly on my waist as his eyes burned me. "Tell me to stop...if you must…" He said in a low raspy voice and I gasped, lifting a hand to pull him to me, crashing our lips together.He took something from his pocket; a small remote control of some sort, then I heard a click and the lights went off. I perked a brow at him, chuckling at the same time as I was confused, but he kissed me and I forgot what I was thinking.His thumbs slid under my silky blouse and slowly lifted it exposing my goosebum
*Meadow*He chuckled as I pointed Craig where to turn. I was happy that Alex stayed home that time and Craig came instead, although Caleb had been more than careful when I was around him, I didn't feel anything towards him since Caleb and I mated fully.To me it was a big relief, I didn't want to feel insecure near him, especially since he was Caleb's third in command."Ok, now turn left on the next corner and slow down, the store is in the middle of the block," I smiled. As soon as we turned the last corner, I noticed something wasn't right. The store was closed and she never closed on a Saturday morning."Perhaps she is on vacations?" Craig said scratching his head and I frowned, stepping out of the car to look inside the store through the windows."The flowers are withering, the store has been closed for days," I looked at Caleb with worry eyes.He pulled his phone out. "What is her name?"Half an hour later we arrived at Saint Mary's Hospital and I rushed to the information
*Meadow*"I knew you would only get attached to someone that kind of special, your mother and I always felt you and my daughter would be the exception to today's crazy youth," She half giggled and then coughed a bit more. I sat in the chair next to her without releasing her hand. "How did you find us?" She continued."It is Saturday, and I headed to the store and it was closed. I peeked through the window and noticed the flowers weren't being taken care of, I knew something had happened. Your name and a few calls was all it took," I said, rubbing her hand slowly."Oh god...! Is it Saturday already? My poor flowers...!" She said just as a scared Bella rushed back in."Mom? What is wrong?" She ran to her bedside almost spilling the water from the glass."My poor flowers... you can't stay here forever Bella, you need to go take care of the store, if I am gone, you will need something to..." she started coughing again and Bella started to shake her head."Don't say that mom! You are
*Meadow*Craig relaxed the rest of the way to the cemetery, I think that while I was in Christa's room, he and Caleb had some sort of a talk and it did him good. Once we arrived, Caleb walked with me near my mother's grave then stopped. I looked at him quizzically but he smiled at me. "I think you should see her alone first. Then, when you are ready, I will join you." He said calmly and I almost cried; there was no possible way for me to feel anything but pure love and admiration to him, he was my partner, my friend, my lover and my mate, always thinking of me before himself."Thank you..." I said almost in tears and he pulled me in his arms."Shh... its ok, you don't need to show me you are strong, I know you are... strong women can also get emotional," I shook my head feeling my tears damp his shirt."Stop please, you are making it harder than already is to break apart from you even for the briefest of minutes," He chuckled and kept quiet, and I finally stepped away and walked to
*Meadow*I was proud, I smiled and just slid my hands on her soft fur while we looked at mom's picture in silence for a while until I felt another presence near us, she lifted her head and it snapped to our left. There we saw Caleb's wolf looking at us, his eyes locked on her. How was this possible? This was all in my head. A mental image.As if she read my thoughts, because she did, as she was part of me, she answered my own questions. 'His mind and yours are linked… He can see me as well, and you can see him.'I smiled at him and nudged her. 'Do you think you are ready for him?' I asked her and she gave me one look that showed me how much ready she was. I didn't know what to expect or how to react to be honest, this was all so new to me, but she took care of it; she closed her eyes and I did the same.What happened next was completely soothing, not what I would have ever dreamed. We merged in one, I was her and she was me; I felt my furred body and my thrill for my mate, our mind
*Caleb*It was very entertaining; Meadow was introducing us to Bella and Crista, and Craig was looking constricted. I was proud of my 3rd, even though he had such an unnatural power of attraction towards women, he never used it against any, and he had many chances. Now, when he did found the one, he was too nervous to use it."So Bella, will you let Craig escort you home? He will make sure you don't miss anything, and remember to bring your mom's stuff, you know, her flip flops and nightgown," Meadow was being persuasive, especially since Bella was nervous around him and felt the pull already. Poor girl, so young and naive."Uhm, yes, ok... he will be there with me until I come back?" Bella asked."I will stay with you until you feel ready, don't worry. You can take all the time in the world," Craig replied with a smile and Bella nodded blushing. I did my best to hold my laugh, while Meadow rolled her eyes at me.After they left, I walked into the room with Meadow, and Crista was
