Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 117: The Big Reveal
FAYE Axel made us pasta. With meatballs that looked far too big. I helped him dish them out, and we carried them to the living room in. We ended both ended up on the floor, eating with me in sweats and him in simple worn jeans and t-shirt. We cleared out our plates and took the dishes to the kitchen. I'd never thought I'd have this much fun washing dishes. I couldn't help it when I suddenly thought of how it would be when we got married. Would it be like this? Him cooking most of our meals because I sucked at cooking. I shook my head at that, trying to dispel such thoughts. Before thinking of married life with Axel, I had to get divorced first. I'd promised Yvonne I'd send the papers in tomorrow but how? I didn't know how to go about it yet, and I didn't want to mention it to Axel now. We grabbed a bottle of red wine and two glasses before going back to the living room. We sat on the sofa facing each other, drinking red wine and watching the television with him occasiona
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 118: Devil in Heels
NATHAN "Should I set up a meeting with the guy?" Daniel asked from across the desk. I exhaled heavily. This darn thing had taken its toll on us. On me and Carver Tech. With the sudden drop in the market, there weren't a lot of options. But Daniel was somehow approached by an intermediary for a wealthy billionaire that wanted to buy invest in Carver Tech and become our primary partners. They already had quite a lot of the shares, it seemed. "Nathan? Nathan, man, are you listening?" Daniel asked me. His forehead creased, and he looked ready to give up. His wrinkled shirt sure clued everyone in on our dire straits and his hair looked as if he had been running his hands through it repeatedly. It wasn't as if I had many options, so I gave him the go ahead. "Sure. You can set up a meeting with them. If they agree to buy shares, we'll be able to cover up some damages." I said to him, running my hand over my face. He nodded in understanding. "I'll let Avril know the details when I
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 119: When Your Body Remembers
FAYE My entire body hummed with the tension at having been so close to him. That asshole had the nerve to say all those things to me! Who was he to say I wasn't fit to be Luna?! He'd probably thought I would be too broken by my miserable life with him to pull myself together and become something. I swirled the wine in the wine glass and then took a small slow sip. I felt hot underneath my dress. Despite the air conditioning, I felt hot and bothered. I didn't want to feel anything but hate and distaste for him, but my damn body seemed to love betraying me. I dropped the wineglass to the table and stood up to pace the veranda, the sunset I'd been watching now forgotten. I was sinking his ship. I'd seen the way he'd been with his investors. I'd gotten reports back on how far gone his company was. If he hadn't gone ahead and launched a new product without the capital and backing of the investors, I'd already stolen from him, then he wouldn't have sunk even further. I should
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 120: Down in The Ditch
NATHAN "We're sinking, Nathan. More and more into debt. We can't continue like this or we'd lose everything." She'd dyed her hair. No, not even that. She'd fucking cut her hair. Who the hell had told her she looked better with short hair? Her hair had been everything. And she'd gone and cut it. And fuck! The tight dress she'd been wearing. Did four years really do that to a person? She'd been wearing a tight black dress that came down to her ankles, and those fucking stilettoes, man. I let out a tight breath as I felt myself going ha — "Are you even listening to me, Carver? I said we're fucking losing investors!" Fuck Daniel and his ranting. I rubbed my hand down my face, almost getting frustrated with him. "You need to calm down, Daniel. We've amassed resources over the years and there are plenty of other solutions to this little 'crisis'." Now why the fuck did he have to go and cut off my… what was it called again? "Listen to me, Nathan. We have to sell out a couple
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 121: Blind
NATHAN "Hey Nate." Lannon said, standing full on in the middle of my office when I let myself in. I flung my jacket over the couch and moved to the chair behind the desk, settling into it before replying. "There was a time you used to love being hidden, you know. Now you're just always in my fucking face." Zelda sat reclined on the couch, facing Lannon. "What's got you in this shitty mood then?" he finally sat his ass down on the couch beside Zelda, leaning forward. "Does it have anything to do with Faye?" "Why'd you two love birds decide to visit? Can't handle being cooped up in the cabin anymore?" I asked them, tongue in cheek. "We enjoy being in the cabin. Thanks for asking, but that wasn't what I asked." "You make it sound like everything's about Faye with me now." "Just answer the damn question." "Okay, yes, alright? It's about her. She showed up with fucking Axel Foxglove at my board meeting the other day, wanting to buy me out." "Faye?!! Is this the same Faye we know
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 122: Tragedy Strikes Twice
NATHAN Fascinated, I watched the security video on my computer screen over and over, replaying it so many times that Daniel fidgeted in impatience. I glanced up at him, standing beside the desk, all nervousness and near breakdown anxiety. "The last two batches of the newly developed smartwatch." "Yes, Nathan. They took everything. Every fucking last box of it." He paced in front of my desk and I could feel him becoming agitated. The space itself was too tiny for pacing and he was putting me on edge. "What kind of thief steals a truck full of products and leaves with it in broad daylight?" “One with a death wish, apparently. I swear once the police find out who did this, I'll kill them myself." I rewinded the video again, shaking my head in disbelief as the truck plowed through the steel door at top speed. It was like a scene from an action movie. There was no sound, but I could just imagine the deafening noise it must’ve made as metal met metal. First, the massive door b
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 123: Blurry Lines
FAYE My heels clicked on the concrete floor as I walked beside Axel to the car. We'd just finished a press conference where I'd officially become the head of our real estate agency. I was the CEO now while Yvonne was the major owner of her and my dad's law firm now. All this just meant more things on my plate. I had so much going on and after the press conference, my head hurt like hell. I slid in into my car as he joined me in the back; and the driver pulled away from the company. "Is it always like this?" I asked Axel. "Always like what?" "Busy. Exhausting and frustrating." He chuckled, handing me a bottle of water. "Here. You have to remember to hydrate. And don't overdo it. You're not a werewolf like the rest of us." "Meaning I'm weaker?" I snapped at him, not smiling. "Did I say that?" I sighed and relaxed into the plush leather seats. "No, you didn't." I answered like a glum child. "I know you're tired, that's just it. When you're fully rested, you'll feel better
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 124: Love Child
NATHAN"A love child.""What?" I asked Jules, leaning forward to take part of the papers with their findings, so I could see for myself. He handed a sheet and I sat back."She's a love child. Maximus' love child."That was… that was a lot. I didn't know what I had expected, but not that. Faye wasn't Joseph's daughter. "When she left you… uh, when she escaped from the hospital…" he coughed self consciously."Get on with it, Jules. We don't have all day." Carolyn said, already impatient to hear the rest of it.I wanted to hear everything, but I wasn't nearly as impatient. Because the twins had found out some interesting but shocking information about my wife.Louis continued. "She's the Eclipse pack's dead Alpha's daughter."As if his brother's pronouncement didn't already clue us in on that. "And so they chose her to become the Luna of the pack. That's why Yvonne Crist sought her out after she left the hospital, and why they his her." Louis disclosed."This can't be possible. You'r

Faye"Yvonne, this place is too much." I glanced around the fully decorated condo, my excitement simmering with the idea of this space being mine to do with as I please.The place is amazing. More than I could have hoped for, and I’ve only made it to the living room. There is a huge fireplace and a big soft gray sectional sofa that looks fluffy and comfortable. Big pillows line most of it and it looks so cozy. There is light everywhere, shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over Vegas."That place is perfect." she told me on the phone."The security is top notch.You can order food whenever you want and they have a gym and a spa downstairs. Everything you need with only a call.""It’s safe," she pushed. "You could come stay with me if you’d prefer. I’d love to have you at home, but I thought you might want your own place."I'd started my post graduate studies, this time nearer to home and I'd gotten a whole condo to stay in for the duration of my studies. Staying wit
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 161: Fresh Start
TWO MONTHS LATERFAYEI sat in front of Yvonne as she explained the dynamics of our business relationship with some other company.I wasn't listening to her. I was mostly just nodding, so she could continue to speak. "Faye? Faye? Are you listening?"I sighed and nodded, not knowing how to tell her what bothers me. "Faye tell me. You know you haven't spoken a lot about what happened in that forest with the Black Saint. I can't believe you went in there without letting me know." She still spoke of it frequently with anger l, but she was beginning to forgive me. It wasn't everyday a person's niece went to the forest of lost souls and made it out alone. I sighed again and she scolded me angrily."That's the fifteenth sigh today, fifteenth, and it's not even mid morning yet. Why do you sound like you lost a loved one, my dear?""Maybe cause I did lose a loved one?"I told her, my face falling as I remembered said loved one again. "Is this about Nathan?"I looked at her and nodded. I c
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 160: I Love You, Goodbye
NATHANThe witch died how she had planned for me to die. A fitting end for someone who'd come with the sole aim of destroying me. Faye massaged her wrists where those damn fools must have tied her up before. I moved to her and held both her wrists in my hands, caressing them softly, so that the ache could go away.She wasn't responding to me. She just stood there, stiffly by my side. I looked into her face and I couldn't read anything.I missed the days when I would look at her face and see what she was thinking, what she was feeling. "Won't you go after him?" Faye asked, pointing in the direction Axel had run in. I shook my head. "Lannon will take care of him."Her mouth dropped open. "Lannon is here too?""Yes, Queeny. He entered the forest the night before we did.""I can't believe you have been lying to me this whole time. About everything!" She screamed in a hurt tone, stepping away from me. I rushed to her, brushing her still wet hair from her face and cupping her face in
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 159: Fruit of The Poisoned Tree
FAYE"Briggs was my sister and you killed her!" she yelled, her voice rising on each word until my ears felt scraped by her shrill tone.Nathan looked bored with the whole thing. He didn't look as bothered by the fact that we were in danger, surrounded by our enemies who had upper hand."So that's why you want to destroy my pack so bad. Well I can't say I'm sorry, Vera. Your sister messed with the wrong pack, just like you're doing now, and she got what she deserved, just like you will." He said, with finality behind his words. She growled and screamed unfamiliar words at him, her magic sending him flying into the concrete wall. I winced as he landed with his arm and felt myself go weak for a second.I was still finding it an ordeal watching Nathan get hurt. It was a lot. "I guess we're done here."Axel said and shifted back from Vera."You can take care of them sweetie, do whatever you please."Vera smirked and strolled around to me.I saw Nathan's body tighten and get ready for a
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 158: Legitimate Luna
FAYEMy heart broke at his words and I felt like a sham at his words. I'd believe I could be Luna because both Yvonne and Axel has stood by me and encouraged me. And now he said this?"Imagine my surprise when after years of devotion to the pack, Yvonne went in search of a daughter I had never heard about. A daughter that had never been around. I was passed over for you?" He said like he still couldn't believe it. "It's a fucking joke, my sweet." I felt sick at the stupid endearment.Tears formed in my eyes and I pressed them closed tightly.I knew Nathan's focus was on me, he would go ballistic of I cried. I wanted to hear all of it.No, I needed to hear everything."I didn't want Yvonne to go looking for you, prayed to the moon goddess that she didn't find you, but guess what? She did. Because this dumbass Buffon,"he said, pointing at Nathan, "threw you out. He couldn't even love you properly then and you still went back to him when you returned home. After all I'd done for you.
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 157: Reigning Pain
FAYEI was sitting in a chair with my arms tied down to the arms of the chair when I came to.The black bag over my face was still there, but it wasn't tight around my face anymore.I tried to look through it but all I could see was little light, peeking at me through the bag.All of a sudden the bag was yanked off my head and I found myself looking at Axel. I felt elated that I'd found him, but I also felt angry about what he'd done. And why did he send people to kidnap me?"Axel," I started.He raised a hand, cutting me off. "it's not just you I need to talk to. I want to talk to your lover too. I wonder what could be holding him back. Does he not love you as much as you think he does, perhaps?"I snorted and his gaze flashed with annoyance."Or maybe he's content to abandon you here. Not even bother coming to get you."I glared at him and said nothing.Axel laughed. "Well, either way, we've got more than enough time together. But first, I think your friend is going to want to mee
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 156: An Alpha's Mate
NATHANThere was a tinkle of laughter in the air when I woke up.The sound was pleasant to my ears and made me ache to find the owner of the laugh.My eyes slid open and rested on Faye. Something was making her happy this morning.I could relate too, cause I felt really happy too. Despite everything that had happened yesterday, it was great to see that we were okay.In fact, we were more than okay. We had finally talked about the part of me that I'd always locked away, never wanted to talk about with anyone, or show anybody.She giggled again, looking up at something I couldn't see and I had to ask her. "Heyy, Queeny." I said, wondering how she'd react this time to the nickname she was always irritated by. "Heyyy." She replied, not really paying me much attention. There was an excitement to her movements though, and a wide smile on her face. I could watch her smile all day, or just listen to her laugh and feel good when the day ended. "What are you doing?" I asked her.Not to
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 155: Cheese In The Mouse Trap
FAYEI held his bandaged hands in my hands. He'd scared the hell out of me when he had run out on me like that. I couldn't believe what I had heard. He'd said Dad, and then he'd started calling out mother.I didn't know what he'd been seeing but it sure felt very intense from where I had witnessed it.There was no one else in the forest except for me and Faye, everything else was false. I told myself repeatedly, trying to quell the worry I had now. What if I was the problem that needed to be stopped?What if I saw things just as clearly as Nathan had?I shook my head and refused to fall for it. "We need to keep moving." Nathan said to me and I agreed.We had to leave that area. We had both taken a drink of the potion now, and nothing more could happen to us for a few more hours.It was getting dark now. I didn't know if this was an effect of the forest magic or something else but we had to rest. We stopped and collected wood for a fire together.We stacked the wood and then s
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 154: Ghosts of The Past
NATHANI'd scared her badly.For her to have cracked and spilled those tears in front of me.She was so icy now, I doubted she ever cried infront of anyone.I had felt something change between us. She wasn't saying anything now, just walking stiffly beside me. I looked ahead, raising tree branches that hung low so that both of us could make our way through.We trudged on, the low bushes and weeds brushing against our thighs and lower legs.The roots that were off the ground were not easy to spot, and almost brought her down twice, with me reaching out to steady her and getting rebuffed each time.I could take that.For now. I would take it until she didn't want to throw me off anymore. Couldn't reject me.I walked around a tree and her eyes followed me sharperly, showing me she was watching me, even though she pretended not to be. I chuckled to myself, coming out onto the path we were walking.Something felt eerily quiet about the forest.It wasn't just that I already knew it was
