~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
Samantha~I woke up the next morning and groaned, “Ugh, my head…” The morning sun painted the room through the curtains. My eyes squinted against the intrusive sunlight and I had a dull ache in my head. I suddenly remembered the events from last night, how I drank away my sorrow with a stranger. The worst thing I have ever done in my entire life.I looked beside me and saw Adrian already awake. He muttered, “Morning, sleepy head.” I smiled weakly and said, “Morning. What happened last night?” He stood up and said, “You came home a bit… unsteady. I took care of you.” My eyes widened as I thought of how I would have messed up the whole place. “Babe, about that guy at the bar…” he interrupted me and cupped my face in his hands. He said, “We can talk about it, but first, let's get you some water and breakfast.” He rushed out of the room and went to the kitchen downstairs. After some minutes, he came back with a tray in his hand. “Here, drink this. It should help with the headache."He ga
~Samantha~I dropped the phone and glanced at Adrian. He looked at me curiously and asked, “Talk to me. What's going on?” I muttered, his eyes not leaving mine, “He asked if we could meet for lunch tomorrow at the luxury restaurant adjacent to the company.”“He said I should wear the gown and heels he bought for me also,” I added and Adrian furrowed his brow. He said, “What kind of plan is this bastard pulling right now?” he clenched his fists as he paced back and forth the room. I yelled angrily, “I won't agree to this. I don't want to go. What if he did something bad to me?”He squatted down in front of me and held my hand tightly. He said, “I assure you, he won't hurt you. Just go, I need to know the plan he's making” I nodded and he kissed me on my temple.The next day, the clock struck noon and I quickly put on the dress and heels he got for me. I looked so beautiful in them. I grabbed my bag and headed to the restaurant near the company. I won't lie, I am so nervous but I tried
James TuckerI glanced at her and smiled. She moved away from me quickly and was scared. I smirked, “You know, Samantha, you are going to love your new home.” she shrugged her arm and said coldly, “Save it, James. I didn't sign up for any of this.”I leaned closer and I could sense the fear in her. She tried to keep the scared face from me but I pulled her face closer to mine and said, “Well, you didn't have much of a choice. You're mine now.” She moved back and smirked. She said sarcastically, “Oh, lucky me then.” I don't know why I'm this easy on her. I'm not always easy on people who talk back to me like that. I really do love her and wish you had her all to myself. The first day I set my eyes on her in Adrian’s company, I had a thing for her. I tried to ignore her tone and I replied softly, “You should learn to appreciate what I do, young lady. I will buy you all you want, fancy things, anything you want. I'm here to provide that for you.” she rolled her eyes and muttered, “I do
SamanthaI watched as he walked down the stairs. He's now in casual clothes that reveal his chest and I won't lie, he's hot! But no, I can't be drooling on a person who kidnapped me and besides, I have a fiance.“Ohh, dear, I hope you've made yourself comfortable,” he said as he walked closer to me. I moved back and he continued to move closer to me until there was no space between us.His scent filled my nostrils and all I wanted to do was to kiss him and have his scent all around me. I gasped and gazed blankly,”As comfortable as one can be under these conditions.” He sniffed through my neck and growled lowly. He smiled and muttered, “Excellent. I've had the chef prepare something special for us. Let's enjoy the meal together, shall we?”I scoffed and shook my head, “I'm not hungry. All I wanted is to go home.” he laughed darkly and walked over to a couch. He glanced at me from head to toe and said, “Nonsense. A good meal is actually good for the body. Come, join me at the table.”I
