Anchor's Fury.

Daminor went for a long run like he always does after the full moon. His ears twitched, and he smelt it, something was following him and it was huge. 

He flipped and sank his claws into the big wolf's neck. 

“A.. Alpha I-it's me...” Anchor coughed out. 

“How could you sneak up on me like that, Anchor?" Daminor groaned, loosening his grip on Anchor's black furred neck. 

Anchor shifted back to his human form, breathing heavily. 

“Sorry Daminor, I didn't mean to sneak up on you.”

“I want to be alone.” Daminor groaned, looking away from him. 

Anchor sighed sadly. His best friend wasn't this cold before they lost everything. He wasn't this isolated before, he no longer shared his feelings with him anymore and it pained him deeply. 

“I came here with some news regarding the company.”

Daminor went silent, and Anchor knew that it was a go ahead for him to say whatever he wanted to say. 

Anchor cleared his throat. “Well... Ephraim sent a message today. He said the sales are doing great and he found a new secretary for you since the last one quit the job.” He concluded. 

Dominor kept quiet again. 

“Daminor.” This time Anchor stood in front of him and fearlessly looked into his amber eyes. 

Daminor groaned, “You don't look me in the eyes, Anchor. You're disrespecting me, I'm the Alpha. Don't. Forget. That!" He almost roared at him. 

“You forgot something else. I'm not only your beta but your long time best friend and you seem to have forgotten that Daminor.”

“I want to be alone, Anchor,” he repeated. 

“For how long?” Anchor asked. 

“You no longer come to the human world anymore—”

“You know how much I hate going there. You know what those people did to our people. I'm not going there any sooner. You said Ephraim found a new secretary right, he will handle everything.”

Anchor knew that he couldn't argue anymore. There was no way to convince Daminor, he was stubborn, a hard knuckle to crack. 

Anchor sighed, “As you said Alpha king.” He bowed slightly. 

“You can go and check up on them.”

“But I can't leave you all alone here. I'm your beta, I'm supposed to stand by you every time. What if something happens and I'm not here to—”

“I'm here aren't I Anchor? I won't let anything happen to our people again. I failed once, not again.” Daminor's jaw clenched. 

“You didn't fail. You tried, I was right by your side remember?” 

“I still failed. I didn't try hard enough, if I tried hard enough then I would have come out victorious today. They would have all still been here. Leia wouldn't have— ``You can go now, Anchor, I want to be alone.” He has again mentioned her name, it deeply hurts him whenever he mentions her name or remembers her. He couldn't keep his promises of protecting her. 

Anchor nodded, the look on his best friend's face was scary and painful at the same time. No matter how much he tries to keep himself strong it never works. He lost his one and only mate, Leia. 

* * * 

Anchor did as he was told, took a journey to the human world to see how the company was doing. They trusted Ephraim to keep everything on track and he did. 

When he made his way into the company everyone could sense the powerful aura that surrounded him. He was the Alpha's beta after all, everyone greeted in respect. 

“Good morning sir.” Jackson greeted, bowing his head. 

“The files.” Anchor said and Jackson quickly handed him the files. They knew how strict he was but it was kind of strange that both the CEO and the COO came once in a month or maybe twice and that was it. 

Anchor walked into Ephraim's office only to find him with a woman, he was a pervert and they knew. All vampires seemed like perverts but he was the only vampire in their pack. Everyone knows that vampires and werewolves don't get along but a few years back Draugluin rescued Ephraim, despite their hatred. Ephraim was attacked by the rogues and he couldn't fight them, Daminor had to rescue him. 

“Ephraim.” Anchor groaned. 

Both the woman and Ephraim jerked up. The woman, whose name was Alia, quickly fixed her short skirt and ran out of the office. 

Ephraim grinned, scratching the back of his neck. “Big guy, you should have told me that you were coming. I would have made preparations for you—”

“What if it was the Alpha who walked in on you right now?” Anchor folded his arms. 

“I couldn't stop myself. Gosh, she was so damn tempting with that short skirt. Do you know what Anch did? She freaking opened her legs so I could see her cleanly shaved pússy. A man gotta do his thing and it's been long since I drank some red wine man.” No doubt that Ephraim was talkative and annoying. 

Anchor groaned. “I read your message. You found another secretary for the Alpha?” 

He nodded, “Yes, I did. Trust me Anch, she's the perfect candidate for this job and she's—”

“A she?”

“Yes she. Don't you think it's time we change? I know that the Alpha only wants male secretary. Who knows, maybe she could change the Alpha for the greater good.”

“Is she human?”

Ephraim grinned. “I-i...well actually y-yes.”

“What!” Anchor growled loudly. 

“You know exactly how Daminor feels about humans, you fool! Why would you go on and hire a human secretary? Have you gone crazy or are you trying to drive me crazy?” Anchor was furious. 

“There was nothing I could do, Anchor. They were all humans and I couldn't ask them if they were wolves or not. It would sound awkward, don't you think?” 

“You can't hire her.”

“The big guys are coming in two days' time. I won't be able to find a new secretary by then. Please just try to understand where I'm coming from. She's capable of doing this job perfectly and...and there's something about her that—”

“Quit being a pervert, Ephraim! Have you thought about Daminor? Do you know how he's going to react when he finds out about this? In fact, he's going to find out when he comes here soon. Pray that he doesn't kill you!” Anchor growled angrily. 

Anchor paced up and fro, wondering how to fix the mess that Ephraim created. He couldn't possibly hire a ‘she human secretary’ can he? 

“Calm down big guy. I'm sure that Dr is going to understand, we need her. We won't be able to find a new secretary now.”

“And besides, Dr doesn't want to come here anyways,” Ephraim mumbled under his breath. 

“So you thought it was the right thing to hire a fúcking she— you know what? It's pointless talking to you.”

“Her name is Lia McCain—”

“I don't freaking care what her name is!” Anchor groaned furiously. 

“How long?” Ephraim asked with a serious face on.

“How long what?” Anchor furrowed his brows. 

“When did you mate?” 

It was a strange question because Anchor didn't have a mate. “I don't have a mate, you fool!”

“Moon goddess has created a mate for every wolf and vampire.”

“Where is your mate?” Anchor asked back. 

“Somewhere out there, waiting to be fúcked.” He laughed. 

“It's pointless talking to you Ephraim. I didn't know that vampires were this stupid.”

“Hey! Don't say anything about vampires. We're the most powerful creatures on earth—”

“You didn't just say powerful did you?” 

Ephraim grinned. 

“Just as I thought.”

Anchor wondered how Daminor was going to react. He hated humans to the core, he was going to be furious and that was for sure. He had to fix it, somehow.

“Lia!” Accalia heard Jane's loud shriek and she wondered why she was that overjoyed. 

Accalia rushed downstairs. 

“What's going on Mrs McCain?” Accalia asked absentmindedly. 

Jane flipped a mail on he face. “What's this Mrs McCain?” 

“It's a letter from the company,” Jane responded. 

“Oh...” Accalia trailed off sadly. She knew that she messed up, she was sure that it was a rejection letter since she couldn't answer any question that was asked by the interviewer. 

“You got the job!” Jane squealed. 

“I did?” 

Did she really get the job or was Jane just fooling around? She asked herself.
