Justin
I woke up with a throbbing headache, I wasn’t a drunkard but it’d be unfair to see a lady downing alcohol while I stayed without joining. Yesterday was fun and I’d like to have more of it but it’d be at the expense of her happiness, it would be terrible for her to be devastated everyday. Jack, my wolf couldn’t describe what prompted us into offering to have a drink with her because I wasn’t the type who’d be bothered with anybody, talk more of a heartbroken lady. I chuckled amidst the pain as I remembered how she had ranted and cursed loudly. She acted so unladylike yesterday but it gave off a sexy feminine vibe. The way her lips parted to curse, the way she squinted her eyes, how she’d throw her head pain and her laughter was pure honey. The way she let go of herself when she began taking the wine, how serious and feisty she looked, her hair was packed in a ponytail initially but letting it fall was like taking off her innocent part and showing off her sultry side. I grabbed my phone, my eyes blurry for a moment as I stared at the messages. I got one from Dave inviting me over for dinner andJack scowled, furious that he was inviting me after breaking the heart of my fri… No… After cheating on his girlfriend. It didn’t bother me a bit but I was only concerned since she’s just a poor orphan, people like her are very fragile and should be pampered. “You’ve got a meeting in half an hour time, what’s keeping you?” Conner, my assistant’s message made my eyes widened and I dropped my phone, strutting to the bathroom calmly. I am Justin Thor, I don’t need to brag about anything because my achievements are more than enough, tan skinned 6’2 ft tall. There was no need to brag about my looks and achievements when it could speak out. I left the bathroom after twenty minutes and got dressed within fifteen minutes. I walked downstairs to see Conner waiting for me, he shook his head slightly when he saw me, checking his watch. “We’re very late,” He muttered. “Get me coffee, black without sugar. I’d like a plain sandwich” I instructed and he stared at me in disbelief, he has been with me for five years so I see no reason why he should be shocked. I got into the car and the driver began driving while he brought out a file. “The board members are insisting…” “I don’t care about what they’re insisting on, if it’s contrary to what I said then I don’t want to hear it” I replied and he nodded, closing the file. We got to the company and I branched to get my sandwich and coffee which I took into the conference hall while he protested and rumbled about what they’d think. I entered inside to see them looking furious and tired. I strutted to the middle seat which was always reserved for me. “Let’s begin” I cleared my throat and muttered, waiting for them to start bringing up their ideas while I feasted on my odd breakfast. “You’re 38 minutes late Justin…” “I know and it’s 42 minutes late precisely” I retorted with an expressionless face and he bowed his head, unable to keep up with my glare. “I apologize on his behalf… Let’s start the meeting” Beta Murphy began and he was the second man I respected most in the world so I had no problem with him talking. While they talked about their boring ideas and decisions, my mind drifted to Dave’s girlfriend, it was crazy because I didn’t know her name. It's something I can find out within a minute but I’d prefer to hear it from her mouth. The thoughts of her full lips parting to pronounce her beautiful name made Jack’s tail wag for no reason and I began reminiscing on what she had said yesterday. I could remember clearly that she had gotten a promotion so if my guess is right, this is the company and she must be on the second floor. My blood began to boil as I thought of her being on two floors below me. I was curious to know how she was doing… Was she still sad? Does she need another drink? “Justin… What do you think?” Conner tapped my arms and I was brought out of my trance, remembering that I was in the midst of greedy and hungry wolves. “I’ll think about it and get back to you. Excuse me, I’ve got things to do” I muttered and stood up, I’m Justin and I’ll never be caught unprepared. I stood up and walked out, ignoring the shocked glances I got from everyone. Conner was beside us in seconds and we walked towards the elevator. “What were you thinking about? You were completely distracted throughout” He pointed out and I shrugged. “Let’s head to the second floor, I need to see someone” I suggested and he froze, shocked at first. “Someone? Did anyone disrespect you? I can take care of the person, do you want me to fire the person? Should I make them disappear? If you tell me the person’s name, I’d get their family out of this pack. Who would dare to get on your nerves” Conner was panicking and I chuckled. “Why are you fretting?” I chuckled and he shook his head. “It’s never good news when you see someone, I’m sure that person must’ve done something terrible” Conner suggested. “Why would you think so?” I demanded with a slight chuckle. “You don’t have friends, well not here exactly but anyone who is making you go to the second floor is definitely in for a lot of trouble, I’m sure someone must’ve done something… Was it yesterday? What did the person do?” “Conner… Sometimes, you just need to be free and have friends. I have a friend and I want to visit her” “That’s even terrible… What did she do?” Conner was gripped with fear and I smirked as the elevator began moving downwards. Within minutes, we arrived at the second floor and a commotion began when everyone saw me. “Ask for the office of the new secretary, she got promoted yesterday” I instructed and Conner’s eyes almost popped out, he was shocked that I knew details of the person. “I don’t remember dropping any file about any lady how…” My glare made him leave immediately and he returned minutes later. “She’s in that office…” His voice trailed. “Wait… Get me hangover soup and a few drugs for hangover, make it snappy, 10 minutes” I instructed and he nodded before leaving. I stayed at one side, my head bowed although I could feel everybody’s gaze on me. Conner returned with a small bag and I collected it, instructing him to leave. He was shocked although I didn’t care. I went over to the office Conner pointed out and much to Jack’s, mine, Conner’s and everyone’s stupefaction, I knocked on the door softly. I had never knocked on any door for years and why I knocked was unknown to me… “Yes… Do you need anything?” I spun around when I heard her voice echoing behind me.CatherineI woke up twenty minutes before eight and my eyes widened as I checked the time. I rushed into the bathroom, my throbbing head felt like it was about to drop and with all my strength, I managed to ignore half the pain.I took a little coffee and jogged my way towards the road, I got a taxi immediately and mentioned my location. I threw a few dollar bills when I reached the company and ran my way upstairs. I couldn’t use the elevator because of my level and it was a funny day for most people because it wasn’t everyday you see a 235 pound lady who’s 5’3 ft running up the stairs.It was my first day and I didn’t want to be late, with panting, I got to my office five minutes after 8. My head was about to drop, my body was aching badly and I felt nauseous, I wanted to throw up but I managed to keep a straight face as I walked into my new office.I could see envious glances, the energy around told me that I wasn’t welcomed. “I’m sure Dave helped her get it…”“Dave was the one wh
“Dav…” Before she could utter any word, a slap landed on her cheek, making everyone turn silent as gasps rang out.“You cheap slut!” He thundered and beside him was Ava, a broad smile on her face.“So this is what you do? You sleep around with older men right?” Dave thundered and Catherine felt anger rise inside of her.How could he slap me and call me a cheat when he was here with his mistress? “I’ve always warned you about her but you trust her too much. She’s nothing but a cheap bitch” Ava asserted and she stared at both of them with shock.This must obviously be a dream. “Anyway, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve been transferred to the manager position in the office, you report to me now” Ava announced and everyone gasped.The whole staff were watching this drama with rapt attention. Over the past years, everyone was envious of Catherine, they all wondered what Dave had seen in her that made him like her and most of her success in the office had been linked to him.They were mor
Catherine I walked towards Ava’s office with a determined look, I would pick up shreds of myself and fight this battle. I entered without knocking and she snarled at me angrily. “Are you mannerless? Don’t you know how to knock!” She barked and I bowed my head. “I’m so sorry…” “Sorry ma’am” She corrected. “I’m so sorry ma’am” I corrected. “Go out, knock and wait for my reply” She ordered and nodded, walking out. I knocked, after three minutes, I got no response and knocked again. “Come in! Are you implying I’m deaf!” She thundered and I opened the door, walking in silently. “I’m so sorry…” “You keep saying the same word and making mistakes. I just went through your file but before I start with all your flaws, get me a cold milkshake…” “The cafe doesn’t sell milkshakes…” “Does that mean the whole pack doesn’t sell too? I want a salted caramel milkshake, you’ve got fifteen minutes” She barked and I nodded, rushing towards the door. “Did I tell you to leave? Is thi
She spent the night crafting a letter of leave for the office. She had two weeks to prepare for college and she wanted to take a six month leave from the office.She knew it wouldn’t sit well with Ava and she thought of every possible question Ava could throw at her and how she’d handle it.She didn’t wait for her alarm to ring before she jumped out of bed the next day. She was excited, nervous and a bit scared.She knew her work load could increase and she’d have to plug in lots of leak ends together before leaving. Arriving at the company twenty minutes earlier, she used the time to arrange her office and practice her speech.She was afraid of Ava. It was terrifying to stand in front of her superior and get insulted in the most awful ways.Ava arrived just when she was having coffee and her eyes almost widened when she saw Dave accompany her to the door.“Take care of yourself honey; I love you” Ava drawled as she kissed Dave sloppily in front of everyone. Core felt disgusted but t
CatherineI stared at the clock eagerly, a minute feeling like a decade. I couldn’t wait to get out of work and race towards Dave’s house to share the good news."Stay calm, we’ll soon head out" Cora, my wolf said to me and I hummed in response.I did it! After years of striving and working in the pack company, I managed to get a promotion. Starting from tomorrow, I wouldn’t be the receptionist whom everyone looks down on but a secretary with my own office on the second floor.Cora was about to burst with joy when I read my promotion letter. My heart was racing with excitement and the minute 6 pm stroke, I jumped to my feet, grabbing my hand back as I made way out of the company.Usually I was always the last but today is different. I need to celebrate with Dave. I know he’d be very proud of me because for more than two years, I worked relentlessly to get a promotion but I kept getting turned down because of my background.I was a pack omega and to make matters worse, an orphan who wa
I had more than enough time to jump out of the way and save myself but it wasn’t important, what was the essence of saving myself when my life was literally over?I stayed rooted to the spot, waiting for the car to crush my weak legs. My eyes were wide open while Cora was too dull to push me into doing anything.The car came to a halt just a few inches away and I growled, furious that it wasn’t going to smash me. Someone bolted out of the car.“Are you okay? What the hell was that!” I heard a masculine and thick tone and I began sobbing afresh. Men are evil creatures, they don’t deserve to be alive. Men are scum, they deserve nothing but the worst things in life.“Are you okay?” His voice softened and I fell down, reality dawning on me that tomorrow I’ll wake up as Dave’s ex, the lady he cheated on, the one he didn’t care about and the omega of the pack, people would rub it in my face that I was his toy.“Are you okay?” The voice was oddly family and I rushed my head, everything stop
