Dire's POV

The voices in the room were like distant murmurs, blending into a meaningless hum. That was mostly what a lot of things felt like to me anyway. I sat at the head of the table, fingers drumming against the cool surface, my eyes fixed on the reports in front of me. But I wasn’t reading. Couldn’t focus. All I could see, all I could feel, was her.

Joana.

Damn it, that woman is making me crack!

I prided myself on having control, of my emotions, of my actions, of everything around me. I operated with precision, never letting distractions get in the way. But she… she was making me reconsider all of that.

The previous night, I could have crossed a line I swore I wouldn’t. And yet, here I was, stuck on the memory of her skin beneath my fingers, the taste of her lips still lingering.

She wasn’t like the others. She didn’t submit easily, and she was supposed to be the easy one.

The sound of someone clearing their throat brought me back to the present. One of the executives, lo

    Joana's POV “Joana!” I was back in the car and just when I was about to hit the tree, I saw someone next to me and it wasn't Chris. It was someone I had begun to lose in memory, my mother. Her voice echoed in my head and with pain in my heart, I shrieked and jolted awake. The people around me were startled in shock. My gaze moving from one to another as I panted heavily. “Cuz?” Lucien who had been sitting beside called out. “Lucien? What's going on?” I asked. My head felt heavy and filled with fog. “You were in an accident and you pulled through,”He replied softly. “It's a relief to see you awake, Luna!” The doctor exclaimed with joy. “How are you feeling?”“Dizzy, I feel weak. Where's Chris?” “You mean the guy riding with you. That dude?” Lucien asked. “Yes Lucien, where is he?”“Oh, he is dead.” He replied with a voice as cold as ice. It seemed his words began to trigger my memories and I remembered how the bullet went through my windshield into his head. The smell of bl

Angrily, he yelled at me,“I told you I will handle it!”“And I don't want a man taking over things I am supposed to be doing! I have the right to look for my own clues!” I lashed back at him causing a shocked expression on his face. “You reflect me and in return, my reflection covers you,” He spoke softly but clearly. “So, for the last time Joana. Back off!”“When are you going to get that I am not your puppet? You can't control me Dire, I am not some street girl that you can place how you like,”“Street girl?!” He growled angrily. “You were in the vents. If none of my men noticed,

    Dire's POV“I need a name, Gordon,” I demanded calmly. I was pissed but I couldn't let it get the better of me. I knew I had to remain calm. “I can't. Not even the alpha status can make me disclose such information. Privacy is what we pride ourselves in,” She responded with a soft voice. She was terrified, I could smell it on her but she was perfect in concealing it. “They already saw us walk in here. It's just a matter of time before they start asking questions. And just one word from my mouth will bring your entire family crumbling down to dust. Now let me know the name,” The threat startled her, sweat dripped down her forehead like rain. She looked at me fiercely but with fear. “I can't Alpha Dire,”I could see pushing Freya any further would be futile. The one thing they held above all was loyalty. So I turned to Joana, “Go home now. It's almost nightfall,”“What did I say about giving me orders,” Joana responded with a voice almost like a whisper. Angrily, I grabbed her h

    Joana's POVLife is humanity's greatest threat. The phrase was often used by my favorite author, Jean Capardi. I knew it was figurative but I never knew I would one day experience it.I was like a prisoner in my own world. My mind and my body in contrast with my every decision. The frustration was vivid as I laid on my bed to stay calm. Word got to me that Dire had called for an emergency meeting for the members of the Council and no one was expected to be absent. I knew what he was planning and I needed to know how it would turn out to be. He might not be the one behind my attack but I was sure he had other agendas. I had to get in there. It was my right after all, not just as his wife but as the Head of the Thorson empire. I had a seat at the council table. So I took my bath, picked out a black dress, grabbed my purse and went out with confidence. I stepped out of my room to meet the hallways crowded with workers.I walked past them towards the Alpha Council chambers. I knew t

It was the second day and I have not had a moment sleep since that night. I locked myself in my room but still I could feel him watching me from every corner of the room. I had to go to work, I needed to get back up. If my hunch was correct, then it was the entire pack in jeopardy. I left for work without informing anyone including the driver. I drove myself to the Thorson Infrastructure and it was there I finally felt peace. I felt secured, like there was noone watching or stalking me. “Joana, what's going on? I got your text,” Lucien walked into my office. “I think something is seriously wrong cuz,” I muttered quietly. He looked around before asking, “Joana, why are you whispering?”“I feel watched Lucien.

    Joana's POV The voices around me became muffled as I sat, staring at the body being closed up with a tarp. Detectives and the Alpha's security team canvassed the entire area. It was like a buzzing sound was going on and on in my ears, making it hard for me to think and breathe. But his voice managed to cut through all of it,“Joana!”I turned to see Dire standing beside me and his beta at his side. “Yes,” I replied weakly. “This is the second dead body you are associated with,” Theo said with his deep and stern voice. “A normal investigation, and you will be under the microscope by now,” I was about to respond when Dire growled angrily, “Back off Theo,” His beta saw the look on his face and he backed away immediately while I stood shivering with fear. At that moment, I thought, ‘I might had bitten more than I could chew’“Everyone leave!” Dire announced and suddenly silence fell upon the place. Noone dared speak, they paused and stared. “Leave the dead body and get out now!”

    Dire's POVAt that moment of impact, it was like my life flashed before my eyes. Whatever that hit us came in from my direction, so I felt the most of it. With every flip, my head banged against the top of the car with shards of glass making its way into every part of my flesh. I tried shielding Joana from most of them but they were only so little i could do. So I managed to toss her out in time, luckily she wasn't wearing any seatbelt. I had a chance to save myself but i pushed her out first, while I was left flipping inside the car. I had no idea why I did that because my body moved before I could think. I was jolted back awake by the screeching sound of a car driving away. I was left suspended with my car upside down. “Hey,” I called out while tapping the driver's seat but there was no response and then I recalled that I threw Joana out. I could smell her blood everywhere and the scent made me go frenzy. I needed to check on her. I tried pulling myself out but anytime I trie

    Dire's POV“Sir, Romero Gordon is dead.” Theo replied. “Shut up and listen to me. You take Joana's cousin and get the hell out of that warehouse, now!” I yelled and ended the call. I tried standing up from the bed but an piercing pain shot from my spine to every single part of my body. The feeling felt like I was immersed in a pit of burning oil. I didn't heed it, I pushed through. Every move made the pain worse than the last but I knew the frustration and madness I will be faced with if i lost Joana. I needed her. “Alpha Dire,” A young and familiar lady walked in with a file in her hand. “Theo sent you, didnt he?” I asked as I continued walking, taking one step at a time. “No, I came to see you,” She responded, staring at me as I struggled like an injured mammal. There was something about her, her eyes were void of emotions.I wasn't expecting her empathy or help but she felt nothing as she watched me struggle and there was a certain hate in her eyes. With that in mind, a

It came past me like a gust of wind and the next thing I felt was the hot scorching burn from the wolf's blood. I looked up at it and there was an ax sticking on to its head. My heart skipped a beat as I glared at the image. Out of fear, perhaps. “Joana! Get out of the way,” Theo yelled out to me. His voice startled me into turning to his direction and beside him was Dire, whose hand was still stretched out from throwing the ax. “Are you going to sit on the floor all day?” Dire asked with a smirk. With a fast reflex, I hurried behind them as they conered the wolf to the edge of the woods. “I don't know who you are or what you think you are going to achieve from causing this much turmoil,” Dire spoke with a deep and steady voice that echoed over the lake. “But you made a mistake, you screwed over the wrong man,”

My head was spinning with plans but none of them ended well for me or my company. “We are linked directly to this bombing, Lucien,” I said softly. “How is this possible?”“It's not. This particular bomb is not out on the market. The military had not yet signed it off,” Lucien replied. “Then what the hell is going on?” I growled angrily, punching the wall with frustration. “Nice hook,” Dire muttered from the doorway, causing us to react in shock. “Can you excuse us?” I gave a nod sign and they left the room leaving me alone with Dire who was looking healthier. He wasn't wearing a shirt, flexing his biceps and abs in my face. “Your company's bomb did this?” He asked in a subtle tone, his gaze was cold as I fidgeted in shock. “No…yes, I don't know for sure,” I responded, looking away from him. “Joana, it's a simple question. Is your company responsible for the bomb?” He asked, this time fiercer.

I felt a chill run up my spine as my shaking hand clenched to my phone. “Something is wrong,” I muttered softly, almost like a whisper. “What did he say?” Lucien asked curiously. “Joana, what did he say?” “Something is going on!” I panicked and hurried out of the news house. I had no intention on going on live television, just intended on testing out his bluff. Lucien and Sasha followed behind me and without asking questions, they hopped in the car with me. I was driving towards his company when I got an incoming phone call. “Sasha,” “On it,” Sasha answered the call and placed it on speaker. “This is Joana, who is this?” “Luna Joana, this is Doctor Tim from your General Hospital on West,” The subtle voice responded. “What can I do for you Doctor Tim?” “If you can, please come down to the hospital. The alpha had just been admitted,” With brute force, I stepped on

    Dire's POV“What are you going on about?” I asked, crossing my hands and staring at the furious expression on her face. “You know exactly what I am talking about, Dire. You announced me as your Luna to shut me up,” She answered spitefully. Seeing her angry and frustrated caused a smile on my face.“You saw lines where there aren't any Joana. And it's becoming very funny,” “Funny?” She asked with an angry stare. She reached into her bag and pulled out a brown envelope. “What's that?” I asked. “Open it,” I grabbed it from her and tore it open. It was a photograph of Oregon and a black SUV. “What is this?”She chuckled hysterically before lashing out, “Don't pretend like you don't know what that is. That's you collecting the same sniper used to kill Chris from Elder Oregon.” “Joana, why will I kill a worker I didn't know?” I asked with a smile, trying to hide the rage burning up within me. “I don't know but I have evidence that you cohorted with Oregon and then killed him before

Is something wrong?” “There is a news conference today and I will like you to be there,” He said calmly with his hands folded behind him. His expression was as clear as day. “I have a meeting,” “Cancel, I want you there,” He pressed on, turned around to leave. His attitude, his countenance just fueled an anger within me. “You won. You played me,” “What?” He asked with a smile. “Don't play mouse with me. You knew and you played me into your hand,” A smile beamed on his face, chuckling maniacally while facing me, “I did nothing. You are the one seeing me like a villain,” “You orchestrated it, made me fall for it.” “Joana, I did nothing,” He commented warmly. He was unphased as he spoke. “I need you at the conference,” He added before tu

Lucien and Sasha both looked confused, sitting in my office with their faces buried in files and documents. “He orchestrated it, he wanted you to push Curly and her associates out.” Lucien concluded with a tired expression. “But why? Why go through all those troubles to pull them out?” Sasha asked softly, staring at the documents for any clue she could find. Suddenly her face beamed with satisfaction as she slammed her hands on the desk“If you have something, say it. No need to be crazy,” Lucien remarked. “Fuck you Lucien!”“Been there, done that,” Lucien replied her with a smirk. “Sasha, ignore him,” I said to her, noticing that her face had began turning red with anger. “He is trying to reduce your networth,” Sasha said as she handed me a bill poster. “Your company is number one in the entire Western hemisphere. But you are currently the richest in the pack,”“Yeah, my family had always taken the number

We stormed out of the room in hurry and on our way out the door, there was someone standing there, obviously waiting for me. “Theo, can I help you with something?” I asked with a fake smile on my face. “You should infirm the alpha of your move before making it,” He replied while gripping onto the sword sheathed by his side. “Wow! You healed nicely,” I remarked, staring at where he was stabbed. “You shouldn't strain your body, Theo. So get out of my way,” He gazed at me with a smirk, pissed but there was nothing he could do. “Let her go, Theo,” Dire voiced from the upstairs hallway. I turned to him, his eyes stared at me with curiosity and lust. “Be back by the curfew wife,” He added with a smile before walking away. I was dumbfounded, I just stood there gazing at the void space. “Joana,” Sasha grabbed on to me, snapping me back to reality. “Let's go,” Normally, I would use a

But something entirely was on my mind, the whole story didn't add up. I got my eyes peeled on financial records, bank details, Pack origins to find out why he is playing the game. I knew something was off about Dire from the start, I could feel it but there was no lead. I was still examining the files when I heard a knock on the door. I was shocked to hear it but judging from the scent, it was him. “I'm coming!” I yelled out to him as I hid the files underneath my sheets. I hurried to open the door but made sure everything was composed before I did. “Hi,” He said with a smile when I opened the door. “Brought you breakfast,” I received the tray from him with a slight smile. On the tray were pancakes, bacon and orange juice. My eyes widened in shock because that was my favorite breakfast and only Sasha knew about it. “Are you going
