2023-05-03 06:55:46The morning sky was thick with dark clouds, heavy with the weight of the rainfall that had come down all night. The room, shrouded in a dim, grey light, was filled with cold air that mixed with the scent of rain and lingered in every corner.
Jerika laid on the cold floor, her eyes opened but her body barely moving. Her room was a mess with books, papers and cosmetic items scattered all over, due to her frantic search for her headphones the previous night.
She laid there, feeling powerless and not having the strength to lift a finger. The rain had drained her, her nightmare had drained her.
Her phone rang and beeped endlessly from the bed, but none of it was enough to get her on her feet. She remained there for a long time, until a knock came on her door.
"Ma'am? Are you awake? Are you in?" Isabelle's voice came shortly.
Jerika wasn't surprised that the lad

Lennox had his head leaned on the rolled-up window glass as Raina controlled the steering. The city busied with a lot of people and activities and calmly, he just watched. It's been four days since the shooting incidence happened, four days since he's been at the hospital. He was most relieved to finally leave the hospital. From time to time, Raina kept stealing glances at him, seeming like she was holding back from saying the disturbing words she had lurking at the tip of her lips. Lennox noticed but didn't bother to look at her. Finally, she said: "Grandpa is very mad at you."Lennox heaved a sigh and simply adjusted his head on the glass. He still didn't look at her. "I know," he muttered. And he was ready for it. For the past four days, they didn't stop calling endlessly. He was actually thankful they didn't show up at the hospital. "Those wolves are really shameless, you know" Raina huffed, her eyes on the road. "I can't believe the so-called Jerika couldn't even show up to

Lennox's mind was a little stunned by Jerika's offer. Was she really offering him a blank cheque?For a moment, he just stood there, lost in her gaze. Then he lowered his eyes and chuckled. Jerika was baffled. Why the hell was he chuckling?"I appreciate the offer, Alpha Jerika, but if it's possible, can my blank cheque be reserved for later?" Lennox inquired and watched discomfort creep into Jerika's brows."And why's that?" She asked."Well, I just don't know what to ask for now. Perhaps, I could have a better request later on. A blank check can be reserved, right?"Jerika backed away from her desk and reclined in her seat. "I can't guarantee if the blank check would still be available, but we might just have to see about that, Mr. Lennox," she answered curtly. "I understand. Thank you, Alpha." Lennox left afterward. ****†****†****†****†****†Sullivan's eyes darted around the bleak waiting room, taking in the sparse furnishings and peeling wallpaper. His fingers drummed anxiousl

After the close of work, Lennox had to accompany Jerika home to get some documents that he needed to work on through the night. While she proceeded in her car, he drove behind them in his car. The ride was a long one, as usual. But getting to her gates, Jerika found Reagan there again. For five days, he's been coming to her gate non-stop and would usually just wait out there for her because her security wouldn't let him in. Jerika has always ignored him, but that day, she decided to pay him some attention. She instructed her driver to stop the car, and when he did, she came out of it. Reagan's heart raced with anticipation. He had been waiting for that moment for what seemed like an eternity. As she made her way towards him, looking like a goddess in her red dress, his eyes got filled with gratitude and relief. He couldn't contain his excitement and dropped to his knees before her. "Alpha!" He exclaimed, looking up at her like she was his North Star. "Oh! Thank you! Thank yo

It was twenty-one years ago, the day her misery began. The Kresters were a perfect family, so much love streamed between them even tho the Alpha didn't have a son. Blessed with three females, he was satisfied and never kicked up a fuss. Jerika was his third daughter and was only six at that time. She was actually the prettiest amongst the three - her rich hair was ebony black and always gleamed with the warmth of the sun; her large eyes were a couple of wandering diamond and always had a way of cracking hearts. She was too beautiful, too perfect. On one occasion, she'd asked her father: "What would happen to the pack when you retire, dad? Uncle Kruger told me only a boy can lead the pack."Her eyes were so bright and innocent when she asked, her smile was so charming. Her father had squeezed her hand into his and cooed the words: "Your uncle Kruger is right, but that doesn't matter to me 'cause I'm blessed to have you and your sisters."Then, Jerika asked. "Why can't it be a girl,

Her heels clicked against the floor with a rhythm as she headed for the elevator. Her manager was still in front, while her PA positioned himself behind. She moved with an effortless grace; heads turned and eyes followed her every measured step. While majority of the on-lookers stared with astonishment, others clad in suit costumes stared with warm smiles on their faces - the staff of the hotel. Even if they were too frozen to smile, they had to 'cause that was their boss. Jerika got into the elevator with the two men beside her and watched the floor indicator panel as it counted up to the fourth floor and stopped. That wasn't her floor, it had obviously stopped for someone. The elevator doors slid open, revealing the face of a young man on medicated glasses. He held a cup of milkshake with him which he drew from, his eyes were lost in his smartphone. He knew when the elevator doors opened, but when he lifted his gaze to behold the occupants, his lips pulled away from his straw. He

There were so many rumours about her - rumours people could only say in whispers. "She killed her mum." "She caused her father's death.""Her sisters died, while she survived.""No. One of her sisters is still alive."The rumours had gotten surplus, they began to host lies. Some said she had lost her sisters one night when she was a child. They said, she and her sisters had been attacked by an anonymous person who ended up killing Sadie. Jerika had survived but was too traumatic to explain what happened. Ruby - the eldest daughter - had survived as well, but lost her sanity and had to be sent abroad for medical care. The hurt was too much for their father, he died few months after due to poor health. This was all the rumours said, but Jerika herself had never made an attempt to clear the air. She's never made an attempt to say anything. After the death of her father, she had been taken in by a relative who barely had enough time for her. Her uncle Kruger had taken over the pack fo

The clock ticked towards the end of day. Working hours were over, but Jerika was a little busy in her office, so she stayed behind for a couple of hours. She knew the rest of the workers would have left already - maybe not all of them. After a while, she rounded up and called on Reagan to come get her briefcase. It was his obligation to take her briefcase to the car daily; on most occasions, he even followed her home. When Reagan showed up in the office, he had his working glasses on with an iPad in his hand. That made Jerika realize he had been working before she called. Reagan smiled at how intact Jerika's beauty remained. Her lips were still red - matted, and her hair was still in even strands. She honestly didn't look like one that had been working tirelessly the whole day. "Alpha, are you done?" He asked as he stood in front of her desk. The office was so cold, he felt like sleeping in there all night. "Yes. Get the case," she mumbled while fixing the files on the table. So

It happened so fast. The raucous sound of the gunshot happened so fast. Screams and unsettlement had erupted from the people around as they all skittered to take cover. Jerika had been pushed. She couldn't explain what happened. Just before the gunshot, she had been pushed by someone from behind. She knew it wouldn't be any of the press people, it had to be one of her own people. She had been made to deck and fall on the body of one of her securities. And by the time she turned to see who had pushed her, it turned out to be Lennox. Her cold eyes glinted, seeing he had been shot. In that split second, her mind went blank, and her body tensed up. He was still on his feet, his eyes staring at her. That instance, the world around Jerika seemed to come to a standstill. The wind seized to blow and the sounds of the unsettled people trying to escape the scene, faded away. She felt her cold heart stop beating when she realized what had happened. He had taken the bullet in her place?Gradu

Jerika's brow furrowed as she turned to the direction of the voice and found Reagan staggering in. What?Surprise crept into her face, as well as the faces of the guests. He was casually garbed in a pair of black pants and a white top that had alcohol stains on it. His eyes rimmed with red and were baggy, giving her a hint of how much he'd been drinking, and probably sulking.'Why was he looking that way? Who let him in?' she pondered.He took staggering steps towards her, making the press redirect their cameras to him. Swiftly, Jerika's securities sprang into Reagan's way, restricting him from going any further."No. No. Let me go. Don't you know who I am? I'm her P.A" he spoke dizzily, pointing at Jerika."Yes, I'm sure I know this guy. He used to follow her around.""That's Reagan, right?""Did he get fired? I was won

"You look astonishing, ma'am," Mr Luther had complimented, sitting in the front seat of Jerika's moving car. Jerika didn't bat a lid at him, she didn't care. There were two other cars behind her, and Lennox was in one of them.After what felt like an eternity to Jerika, they got to the venue of the event. The gates loomed before them, and Jerika's convoy drove in, the sound of the engines echoing off the walls. The sight of her convoy driving in was all it took to set the press men off, they swarmed towards her cars like a pack of hungry wolves. Their cameras flashed in a frenzy. However, her securities dressed in black suits and dark shades, came out first from the second and third cars, forming a human barricade around her. With their muscular build and no-nonsense attitude, they quickly limited the press men, holding them back with firm but gentle hands.Lennox got the door opened for her, and gently, Jerika stepped out, her head held high. "Just a word, Miss Jerika!""Could you

Lennox's first day at work was like a calm river flowing steadily. The files on his desk had been like a treasure trove of information, waiting to be discovered.He found himself caught up in a whirlwind of activity, sifting through files and assisting Jerika through a maze of meetings and presentations. Every department of the company was extremely busy with the launch coming up in two days time.The subsequent times Lennox had dashed into Jerika's office, he had felt like he was entering a fortress. She always at her desk, eyes fixed on the computer screen, fingers clicking away at the keyboard. Each time he asked a question, her responses were always curt and to the point; she didn't even look up from her screen.As they went to various meetings, her cold aura only intensified. He noticed she exuded an authority that made everyone around her feel like they were walking on eggshells.Fo
