Cain~ I awoke to the gentle embrace of dawn, the first rays of sunlight weaving through the curtains of the room. As I sat up, a furrowed brow revealed the thoughts that occupied my mind. I was mindful of the slumbering world around me, I glanced at Mandy beside me, her form peaceful in the morning light. A momentary tenderness softened my features as I leaned down and gently pressed a kiss to her forehead. I whispered, "Hope you slept well.” With a last gazed at her, I silently slipped away, leaving Mandy to the embrace of dreams. I was about to have some free from the fridge in my room but was interrupted by the warrior who mindlinked me. “Alpha Cain, we have urgent news. Last night, there was an intruder attempting to break into the underground cells.” I received the message and immediately left the beer and focused my attention on the matter at hand. I furrowed my brows and asked, “Did you catch the intruder? Can you describe him?” He paused and said, “Unfortunately
~Mandy~As I vanished inside the forest, I quietly entered the pack gate. I saw the warriors were having discussions with each other. I walked past them secretly and cautiously crept into the room. The air was thick with a scent of secrecy as I approached the bed where Cain slept. A mischievous glint gleamed in my eyes as I slid under the covers.Cain stirred in his sleep, half-aware and asked, "What's…?” I quickly whispered, feigning ignorance, "Shh, go back to sleep.”I endured, I didn't disturb his rest, I nestled beside him, and I could feel the warmth of his breath. As the same approaches, Cain is already up and was about to get ready for his activity.He was about to get a drink from the fridge but was stopped by something. I quickly glanced at him and noticed he was replying to one of the warriors through the mind link.I think the news about my operation last night has reached him, he had his bath, dressed up and left for his office.Immediately he went out of the room, I had
~Cain~Lucas and I went to the underground cell where the warriors were gathered to address them on how to tighten the security.“After the recent incident, it's crucial that we fortify the security of this area. We cannot afford any more breaches.” I announced and they all nodded.The head warrior asked, “What measures do you suggest, Alpha Cain?” “Increase the number of guards stationed around the cell. We need extra eyes and ears, especially during the night.”“Install additional surveillance spells, and make sure the wards are at the strongest,” I added, and he asked again, “What about the entrances?”I moved closer to them and said firmly, “Seal any potential entry points. Strengthen the barriers. We can't underestimate the potential threats.”I continued to provide detailed instructions to the warriors, and when I was done, Lucas, the beta, also addressed them.After I was done with the meeting with the warriors, I left the underground cell and headed back to the pack. As I ent
~Mandy~The next day, I groggily opened my eyes, pulled the duvet away from my face, and yawned. I glanced at the person beside me and confusion swept over me. I gulped hard as I looked closely at the stranger.It was the guy from last night. The events from last night flooded back to my mind, I was drunk, and didn't know anything I was doing. I glanced at my below and felt timid there. I was ashamed and regretted coming to the bar house in the first place. I cautiously moved out of the bed, grabbed my stuff, wore my clothes and tiptoed towards the door, making sure I didn't wake him up.I opened the door and exited the room. I walked out of the bar house and went straight to the car park. I entered the car and started the engine. I heaved a sigh before starting my journey.I drove back to the pack house. I drove in and walked towards the door. I wished Cain Was still asleep. I muttered to myself, “where would I tell him I went to?”I bumped into an omega who was carrying a tray of p
~Mandy~“What's going on? You seem a bit frantic.” Cain entered the room, and approached me. I shook my head, and mittered, “Oh, nothing, Cain. Just misplaced something, no big deal.” he raised his eyebrows, and nodded.He walked to the wardrobe and went to grab his gym clothes. He mumbled softly, If you need help finding something, let me know. I'll be in the gym.” I forced a smile, as I watched Cain left the room.I resumed searching for the tracker, but I couldn't still find it. I opened and closed the drawers, but there was still no sight of this device. I clenched my fists and bit my lower lips. Hours passed and my desperation grew more as the weight of my actions bore down on me. I finally gave up on the search, I sank into the bed as I tried to steady my racing thoughts. Cain entered the room, I think he forgot something.He sensed my worthiness, and asked, “Still can't find it?”I forced a smile and said in a casual tone, “ It's Nothing important, Cain. Just a misplaced item.”
~Cain~I left the pack house and went to the gym. I needed to get myself together, I don't know why Mandy is also acting somehow these days. She seemed frustrated and annoyed but she decided not to share the problem with me.I started my morning workout and began with the treadmill when Samantha’s picture greased my mind. I couldn't get her off my head. Since the day I rejected her, my wolf has been angry and pained, he has even refused to talk to me.I blamed myself for rejecting our mate but she's an omega, and she's weak. She's not fit for my luna. Lucas entered the gym and swirled me out of my thoughts. He asked, “Is everything alright?” I sighed and got off the treadmill. I walked closer to him and said, “Her picture keeps greasing my mind. I don’t think I can ever get her off my mind.”“Samantha?” he asked and I nodded. “Yeah, I can't shake the feeling that I messed up big time.” He patted my back and muttered, “You rejected her, Cain. It's not an easy thing to forget. Mate bond
~Adrian~ I sat at my office expecting Investor James Tucker. I sent him an email earlier today about investing in my company and he replied and showed his interest. We organized a meeting today and I told him to come to his company but he insisted he would come to mine. At 11:23 am, I didn't see him and he fixed the meeting to 10 am in the morning. I stepped out of my office to stretch my legs. I waited for the elevator and the elevator swung open. I watched as James Turker, the investor, was very close to Samantha. “I seriously love you Samantha and I promise to take care of you.” I cleared my throat, and he noticed I was there. He smiled and walked towards me and offered his hand to shake me, “Hi, Adrian.” I shot him a deadly glare and refused his handshake. Samantha walked out of the elevator and stood at my back. I glanced at her and said, “We'll talk about this later,” James raised his hand and mumbled, “Actually, we were just having a friendly conversation.” I nodded and
~Samantha~He gripped my neck and growled and was about to slap me hard on the cheek but he withdrew his hands. He left my neck and paced back and forth to the office. He shot me a bad glare and smirked. He glared at me, his eyes not leaving mine and he said, “You have no idea what you're about to do, darling. It's either me or no one.” He took one last look at me and left the office. I sighed and went over to my desk and had a seat. “What does he mean by that?” I whispered. Fear gripped me and I placed my face in my palm thinking about what to do. He's a possessive and powerful billionaire. I know he is capable of doing many things and wouldn't be arrested by the cop. I was so lost in thought that I didn't know when the human relations manager came in. She called me out of my thoughts and dropped some files for correction. She left and my phone buzzed. It was a message from the strange number that called me when I was at home. That was James Turker.I picked up the phone and unlock
