*Meadow*I went to a line to get the sandwich while he grabbed us a table. I was smiling from ear to ear again, he had that effect on me. I got to the cashier, ordered my sandwich and two juices, and then paid.As I got back, I noticed he had changed his smile for a more neutral look; he was staring at the window until I sat down and he looked back at me, a small smile reached only his mouth, not his eyes."What is wrong?" I asked as I gave him the juice he allowed me to get him. And I say this because he wanted to buy all for me, but I refused.He looked at me and shook his head. "Nothing to worry, Meadow. And thank you for the juice, you didn't have to."He made me chuckle. "Of course I had to, you did much more for me with a fancy lunch out in the open." He laughed, and I could stare at him like that for hours."So, I think you have a fan. Well, one more besides me that is." He said just casually, and I almost choked on my drink."What?" I managed to say. Did he just admit to
*Meadow*"Well for one, he is an asshole." He said as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Pardon my language." He added looking back at me, and I smiled. "I think you did well, there are limits to what an employer can request from its employees, and he has been pushing that line one too many times with you. I am pleased I took the chance to come find you today. Please promise me to take care of yourself from now on, this guy seems overly interested in you, and I don't like it. At least, be careful until I can come back from my trip and keep you safe." He said with a smile, and I just melted right there."So you will come back to town?" I admitted, my hopes were high."Did you doubt it before?" He said almost offended. I blushed and lowered my head. He retook my hand and pulled my chin up with his other one. "I am a man of my word. I will be back by the end of the week, and we will go out on a proper date if you allow me to take you out. I really want to get to know you better Mead
*Caleb*I haven't stop pacing around my office as my third in command reported to me about our recovery operation. Craig has been nervous because we left him in charge. However, he understood the seriousness of the situation, and for his first solo, he has done rather well. We both had laid a plan to get our troops recovered and in training, remodeled security shifts and reinforced our compound to make sure no one dares to cross our land barriers again. It was all of a huge importance, and I kept trying to focus. I still felt the tingles on my lips from our kiss. My mate was far from me, and I craved her touch, no matter how innocent that might be."Alpha, we can continue this later if you feel the need to rest." He said after clearing his throat. I sighed and put a hand on his shoulder."I am sorry Craig, I am just... distracted... but I can see already how things have improved with your assessment and guide. I see the result of our plans. Alexei is going to be back in around a wee
*Caleb*It was finally noon when I texted her back.*Caleb- I am dying to hear your honest thoughts. I hope you are having a good day.I felt my anxiety grow as I sat at the dinner table waiting for my meal while continually looking at my phone over and over again. After 15 minutes of no answer, I grew worried and called Alex. "Where is she?""Well hello to you too Alpha. I am doing just fine, thank you."I sighed. "Alexei, report." My command voice was loud, he took a second before replying."She is about to go out of the building, a long line in the security post. She looks happy and is talking to another girl who is in front of her at the line. I will scan her face through our recognition software and get you her ID as well in a few minutes."I nodded, satisfied by his report, then immediately felt guilty by the way I treated him. "Thank you, Alex.""Oh, now I am Alex?" He replied, entirely in his place. I smirked at the hints of the old Alex coming back. I missed his challe
*Caleb*I heard my desk phone rang and felt startled. I picked it up and cleared my throat before answering. "Hello.""Alpha Rowen, we had another rogue attack at our allies in the South. I am growing tired of this bastards, we need to do something!" I recognized the angry voice all too well."Alpha Demark, I am brewing a plan and need you to trust me. If you do, this will all be for the best." I heard him growl lowly."What do you want me to do." He asked dryly."Right now, what is most important is to aid our allies, we all made a pact, and we will honor it till our last breath. I am going to gather some of my most powerful warriors and send them to you. Please wait for them, and once they arrive, go help cure the wounded ones and help reorganize their pack. Their Alpha was new, Young Smithson right?""Yes, the little pup is alive and shaken, he just took over his father's death a couple of months ago.""I just want you to wait for my men to arrive, the Rogues are smarter than
*Caleb*Alex emailed me his search results. The subject's name was Sheila McLane, and she had just finished her degree in chemistry; she was living in New York and left everything after she broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years, to see the father and take a break. His father, Carter McLane, is a fascinating man. He had been working on that same real estate company from the beginning and climbed his way slowly to his current position at the top. An excellent hard worker like those of old times. I was going to have to look for something special to buy so Meadow would join me if it were possible, even though she was not a sales agent.I thought of exciting deals for them to let her get credit for the sale. I would save that for the near future, right then it would be too soon. The dating process was stressing me. All my wolf and I wanted to do was to explore her body and claim her."Alpha, our squad arrived safely to Demark's land late last night, and they started to move immediately
*Meadow*I met Sheila, and we both decided to get lunch at the Mall. I sighed, I didn't want to be hours walking there especially since I would be tempted to buy things and I was on a tight budget. But after what Caleb told me about her, I felt compelled to just do whatever she wanted and let her enjoy the day.I grinned, she was a salad girl and picked up one at the same time as I did. We both laughed and got some fries just to make a balance with our food.We talked about what else to do, and where to go. I was glad to hear she only wanted to see a few stores, then she didn't mind leaving for another place. I wasn't sure where to take her so I thought maybe she would enjoy visiting the Zoo. My mother always said that animals were the best therapy for a broken heart. She would tell me "If you break up with someone, get a pet that fits your personality, pour your love there and you will heal faster." I never dated someone long enough to actually be hurt with their departure, and we
*Meadow*I heard the information guide yelp, and she covered her mouth. When I looked out, I saw five wolves were surrounding the booth. They were smelling us and watching. Sheila was paralyzed and couldn't move nor make a sound. I was nervous but had to be the one in charge as both of them were entirely in shock. "Ok girls, calm down, remember the warning, don't scream... we don't want them to get aggressive... they smell us," I whispered lowly.One of the wolves, which seemed larger than the other ones and probably their leader, gave a step towards us and I cursed myself for having said anything. The others walked around the booth twice then settled behind the bigger one. Two more had cornered another group at a box not far from us. I was starting to feel my hands cold and got nervous when I saw something that left me in awe.She was tall, leather from neck to toes. She exuded confidence and walked like she owned the place. Her short straight hair didn't even move an inch as she w
