*ELITE—EDIT^COMPANY* Amelia had gone home, but she was told Alpha David went to the company. It was 5 pm already, and he isn't back yet. Having no choice, and wanting to see him, she drives straight to the company. A few later, she arrived and stepped out of her car. She took a deep breath as she stepped company and headed into the sleek, modern lobby of David's company. The workers have all gone home, except a few ones who were still lurking around. Right now, she could hear some of them whispering and murmuring about how the company was gradually falling as the sales were reducing. Amelia heaved deeply, it was all her fault because she couldn't make a spectacular design just like Tinsley. While making her way to the elevator she entered inside, Amelia's heart was pounding in her chest, her mind racing with the weight of what she was about to do.Moments later, she stepped out of the elevator on the top 5th floor. Just as she approached his office, she saw David sitting in
*LORENZO’s—MANSION* Tems woke up with a throbbing headache from the hangover he had last night. “Gosh! My head,” he groaned achingly, holding his head with his hands. After he had rough sex with Jeannette in the office, and when he left the company, he went to a bar later on and got dead drunk. Not being able to steal that file from Lorenzo’s office was making him go insane, and he doesn't know what to do about it. Sighing deeply, Tems sailed out of bed. The sun ray from the window was blinding, so he went to shuffle the curtains before dragging himself to the bathroom to freshen up. A few minutes later, he got spruced up in black sweatpants and a white shirt to match before stepping out of the room. Tems walked down the stairs and he saw the maids cleaning the living room. His elder brother was not in sight. “Good morning master!” The maids stopped, bowed, and greeted him. "Has Lorenzo come home yet?" Tems asked coldly. "No sir, senior master hasn't come home yet," one o
*MID–NIGHT^PACK* Tems sat behind the wheel of his car, fuming with extreme anger. He couldn't believe that his elder brother, Lorenzo now has Tinsely all to himself. It just wasn't fair, he can't have the woman he wants while he destroyed his past. He will make him pay for everything. Moments later, Tems revved the engine and sped off toward the pack.Later on, he arrived at the pack, and he could see his foster siblings, Isabella and Frank, waiting for him.Isabella was the first to approach him, plastering smiles on his face. “Hey, bro! It's good to see you see home, how are you doing?" she asked with a grin.Tems stepped out of the car, he looked and glared at her before replying coldly, "I don't want to talk to you.” Isabella's cheeks burned with hurt and embarrassment. Frank noticed the awkward air, and he tried to chime in as well, saying, “Yeah, big bro. Lorenzo—” “Enough! Don't you see I am not in the mood?” Tems cut him off mid-sentence, pushing him aside as he storme
“Sis-sister?” Lucinda shuttered, trying to get closer to the but Tinsely moved back slightly. “Why do you want to make him lay for everything, huh? Listen to me, Lucinda, Lorenzo is not as bad as you think, okay? He already apologized to me!” Tinsley shouted. “Oh!” Lucinda understood what Tinsely heard, and she glance knowingly at Lorenzo. Lorenzo breathed out in relief. Tinsley didn't hear their dialogue, she only mistook Lucinda’s last few utterances —she thought Lucinda was reprimanding him for breaking Tinsely’s heart. “It's fine sister, I was just...” Lucinda was lost for words at the moment, and not knowing what to say. “Baby, Lucinda is not talking badly to me, okay? She was only trying to make sure I treat you better,” Lorenzo came to Lucinda’s aid. Lucinda glared at him for saying that, he was lying but she was glad he covered up. She doesn't want her elder sister to find out yet, or she will be deeply heartbroken and ruined. “Oh, sorry, I guess I misunderstood the
*LORENZO’s—MANSION* Tinsely woke up unhurriedly to the sound of birds chirping outside her window, and she gently sits up on the bed. She stretched her arms and legs, she was extremely tired but feeling well-rested after a good night's sleep. Hence, she got out of bed and sauntered to the bathroom, then she turns on the shower. While the water was warmed up, she was stripping down her clothes and then stepped into the shower. “Mhmm,” she sighs, closing her eyes as the warm water washed over her body. Tinsley took her time, while she was enjoying the cool sensation of the water running down her skin. A few minutes later, Tinsely turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. She towel-dried her hair and also covered the towel around her body before walking back to her bedroom as she hummed lovingly. Getting to the closet, she opened her closet and skimmed through her clothes, and she eventually settled on a black skirt and silk red shirt. She slipped into the dress and t
*DEVOTED DESIGNS—COMPANY* Tinsely walked out of her office, and it was late already. It's 6:30 pm, and most of the workers have left. “Bye, baby!” Mary waves at Tinsley. “Bye, love!” Tinsely waves at her before entering Lorenzo's office. She was clutching a folder in her hand which contains her latest design. She was exhilarated to share it with him, and she also knew he had a keen eye for design and his feedback will help her know if she outdid herself. "Hey sweetheart, do you care to give me a minute of your time? I want you to take a look at something,” she said, while approaching his desk.Lorenzo looked up from his computer and smiled as he saw her. Of course, mage. I always have every goddamn time for your impressive designs," he said, giving her a sign with his hand for her to come closer.Tinsely eagerly handed over the folder, and she watch as he flipped carefully through the pages. She could feel her heart pounding with anticipation and tension, while waiting for hi
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT*It was a dark and moonlit night, Lucinda wa sitting alone in her room. She was smoking and crying heavily, she was feeling devastated and downcast. The delicate glimmer of the moon screened through the window, radiating an eerie glare on the room. Her tears fell silently as she tried to quell the tragic remembrances that barraged her mind, but she couldn't... While she sits down on the spot, lost in her thoughts, the door of hers creaked open, and Rosalie entered the room. At first, she caught a glimpse of Lucinda's tear-streaked face and instantly rushed to her. “Lucinda, what's wrong?!” Rosalie asked, she was now panicking intensely. “Nothing,” Lucinda shook her head, and she started to smoke her cigar. “Are you still missing your elder sister?” Rosalie asked her again. “I said no,” Lucinda replies sternly, then sighs as she shook her head and let out a deep sigh. “No, it's not that, Rosalie. It's just... It's just something else entirely." she heaved
Tinsley had a restless night after the incident with Tems last night in the kitchen... She tossed and turned around on her bed, images of his face dominating her brain, flashing through her mind. She had never felt so vulnerable in her life! Eventually, she managed to fall asleep, but even her dreams were haunted by the memory of his tinge on her skin.The next morning, Tinsely woke up early, as the sun flowed into her room. She sighed as she sailed out of the bed, and she was determined to put the incident behind her. Going to the bathroom, she took a long shower, and she let the hot steamy water wash away her fears and apprehensions. Whence, she steps out and goes to the closet to get dressed in her favorite dress and put on some makeup, hoping to feel a little better about herself. Finally, she picked up her purse and left her room. She won't be going to work today, so she thought of stopping by her sister’s place. As she sauntered out of her room, immediately she saw Tem
The full moon lingerie high in the night sky, radiating a silvery sheen over the clearing where the after-party for Tinsley and Lorenzo's coronation as Luna and Alpha was in full swing. The air was filled with gleeful laughter, music blaring in the air, and the scent of celebration. The pack members had gathered, enthusiastic to honor their new leaders and revel with them in their victory.Xavier, David, and Spencer, even Rosalie we're in the spot, they stood around the table where the center of the festivities was going on. They chatting happily, clutching their wines in their hand as they exchanged a few whispers.Xavier raised his glass and grinned. "To Tinsley and Lorenzo, our new Alpha and Luna of the pack! Long may they reign!" He hollered. “Cheers!” David and Spencer chorused, joining in the toast as they clink their glasses together. “It's time to dance, I wanna dance,” Rosalie giggled as she pulled Spencer with her. “Oh boy, I guess we are the single one then,” Xavier
*THE SEA—PORT* After some minutes, Lorenzo arrived at the seaport and he hurriedly stepped out of his car. His heart beating with deep anticipation, he just couldn't wait to confront Tems and rescue Tinsley. Walking through the abandoned area, a creepy breeze hung in the air and the ominous silence hovered. The spooky scenery heightened his sense of urgency, and he exacerbated his senses. All of a sudden, he caught sight of Honey who was standing a few feet away from him. She was chewing gum bitchily, and was putting on a sensual smile. Lorenzo's face hardened as he approach her with cautious steps, uncertain of her true intentions. When their eyes locked, he saw the flicker of lust flash through them. “Well, well, well, look who we have here,” Honey purr with mischievous eyes, walking in a circle around him. Then she stopped in her track, right in front of him as she said, “It has been a long time, Alpha.” “Why are you doing this?” Lorenzo asked meanly. “Because you neve
*LORENZO’s MANSION* It was a beautiful morning as Lorenzo woke up from his deep slumber, but the morning wasn't beautiful to him as he sat on his bed. He was fucking worried about Tinsely, his mind buzzing as he wondered where she could be. He had searched through the city, he left everything unturned and he sent his men to join the search too. But it all ended up with no result to show for it, she wasn't found and his heart was worrying immensely. The room was shimmering from the sun ray which was greeted by the morning sun screening through the curtains of his bedroom. Blinking away a scrap of sleep, Lorenzo stretched out his limbs and yawned softly, feeling exhausted from their search party yesterday. Just as he swung his legs over the rim of the bed, his gaze fell upon the alarm clock on his bedside table. It read 8:00 am, ascertaining that it was indeed morning. Hence. Lorenzo stood up, and he made his way to the bathroom. He needed to freshen up. Stepping inside, the c
*TEMS—PENTHOUSE* It was exactly noon when Tinsley woke up from her unconsciousness, she was feeling particularly messy, disoriented, and groggy. Finally, she regained consciousness, and her eyes grew widened shockingly when she saw Tems! He was lying next to her on the bed, and she attempt to move away quickly from him. However, her actions were terminated abruptly and she realized she was chained to the bed with her limbs constrained. “What!” A wave of panic, fear, and desperation to flee overcome Tinsley as she started screaming. “Somebody please help! Help me!” She was crying hysterically, and shouting for help. Her voice was resounding through the room, and that had stirred Tems from his nap. His eyes slowly blinked open, and a twisted grin crept on his face as he gazed obsessively as he enjoyed seeing her screaming in terror.“Hey, baby, what's wrong?” He asked, and he sat up on his butt. He tried you touch her, but she spits at his face. “Don't you dare touch me!” She s
It was a freezing morning as Jeannette walked briskly through the street, she couldn't wait to get home yet. After everything happened to Lorenzo, she had decided to lay low for now. The early morning haze swung in the air, summing up with an ominous atmosphere to the surroundings. Jeannette held her bag tightly, and she constricted her coat around her. Her footsteps reverberated against the pavement as she scurried towards her house which a few walks away.Just as Jeannette veered around a corner onto her street, a feeling of relief washed over her as soon as she saw her house a few blocks away. Finallyshe arrived at her house, and Jeannette fumble with her keys. Her breath were creating perceptible puffs of fog in the chilly air. Hence, she swung the door open, and stepped inside before shutting out the cold world behind her.Jeannette ambled to the couch, but she didn't sit as she struggled to remove her coat first. She could not even register her surroundings for a moment.
*ROSALIE’s APARTMENT* It was late in the evening, and the sun was just seeing below the horizon. Tinsley was walking through the streets, her face was pale and she was looking ragged. A few minutes later, she arrived finally at Rosalie’s apartment and she slowly opened the front door. Her body was dangling with weariness and her eyes filled with grief. Just as she stepped inside the living room, the aroma of freshly baked cookies swirled her nose as it flowed from the kitchen. Tinsely stomach crumbled hungrily, and at that moment, she knew she hadn't eaten since morning. Closing the door behind her, Rosalie scampered out of the kitchen with concern inscribed on her face.“You are back! Where have you been since last night? I was fucking worried about you, best!” Rosalie said worriedly, and she opened her arms wide. Tinsely wrapped her hands around tightly, then she rested her head on Rosalie’s shoulder. “I'm always fine, you don't have to worry about me, okay?” Tinsely softly
*LORENZO’s–MANSION* It was a luminous morning, and the sun was seeping into the room through the window. Tinsely gradually opened her eyes, and she quickly sat up when she realized she was sleeping on a bed that wasn't her own. A wave id confusion flashed on her face, and it was quickly replaced with shock as she recognized she was lying next to a man. Tems! “What!” A wild gasp fled out her lips, her heart was racing as she tried to comprehend what had exactly happened.Rosalia’s apartment... The bar... Startled by Tinsely’s sudden awakening, Tems stirred up from his slumber. Seeing her sitting up next to him, he smiled warmly ad he attempted to reach out and touch her. “Don't touch me!” Tinsely snapped, recoiling from his touch she slapped his hand off. Tems frowned, he tried again to touch her but she pushed him away their time with force."No! No! This can't be happening! This can't be happening to me!!!” Tinsely cried, her voice sounding whispering. Her entire body was t
*ROSALIE’s—APARTMENT* It was night already when Tinsley gradually regained her consciousness as her eyes fluttered open. A slight mix of confusion blurred her mind as she tried to make sense of her surroundings, she was inside a dimly lit room... As she looked around, she saw she was inside Rosalie’s room. Rosalie was sitting on the bed beside her, she was sleeping but with concerned expression on her face.Somehow, she stirred up from her sleep and she shockingly exclaimed, “Tinsley!" Her voice was buttered with both relief and worry as she moved closer, and immediately drew Tinsley in a a tight hug, holding her body close. “Thank goodness! You're awake, you don't know how much I've been so worried about you."Tinsley's head was still reeling, and her heart was racing rapidly as she struggled to put the whole piece together of what had happened. Reazling that, her eyes widened as she spoke in her trembling the voice which was barely above a whisper. “Tell me, Rosalie, is it tr
The morning rays gently screened through the window, and it was radiating a soft shimmer upon Tinsley's face. All of a sudden she stirred up, her eyes were deeply red and swollen from the tears she shed last night. The weight of the event settled heavily in her heart and her soul is crushed. In a slow motion, Tinsely stood to her feet and then she walked towards the window, her steps are quiet and mild. Getting to the window, she pulled the white curtains aside as she gazed cityscape before her.Lost in her mess thoughts, she continued staring silently at the scuttling streets below with her mind filled with the memories of the party. The consequence of it all felt stifling, and she yearned for a moment of peace amidst the disarray that had gobbled her life.An hour later, Tinsely still stood at the window, trying to sought comfort in her silent contemplation. Unexpectedly, the door of her room swung open, and Rosalie flew in, her face filled with intensity. "Rosalie?" Tinsley
