ROMANI was on my way to the Council headquarters. They'd been on my neck for two weeks about my appearance in their courts and I'd been avoiding their summonings but it was beginning to piss me off so I just went. Also, Quinn has been on and on about how we had to avoid the wrath of the council, following the fact that they had been coming after me due to a pack that I had conquered two years ago. I had even forgotten about it but apparently, they hadn't given up their anger. They felt that I was being “too aggressive, ambitious and unreasonable.” Bullshit. They got in my way and I moved them. That's all that it was. But the issue was that the Council hated me and they had an issue with everything I did. Whether good or bad. But I didn't care. I didn't need their approval to do anything at all. As a matter of fact, I wanted them to even see everything I was doing because it would teach them not to mess with me. It was a surprise that they had called for me. As a matter of fact,
EDEN “Is that the last of your stuff?” Alicia asked me, peeking her head over my huge like of “Mummy in the Making” magazines.Dragging my bag of clothes across her clean floor. I nodded quickly, finally happy that we were done bringing all my things upstairs. Alicia said I shouldn't bother helping her get the things but I disagreed. Even though I didn't have a lot of things, it would be unfair of me to let her bring everything upstairs by herself while I sat with my legs crossed. We had decided that I should move in with her at least until I delivered the baby. She got worried the last time she was at my house. She even went as far as asking Brenda to talk to me in case I wanted to refuse. Truth was that I could really use the help at this point. I was feeling very weak and sick and I doubted I could live alone. I wasn't very heavy but I still didn't feel so well. We collected the remaining money on my lease and then we moved out. "Are you hungry?" Was I? If I said no now, I'
ROMAN The past weeks had been full of extensive training and weapon mastery. In preparation for whatever madness Leo's pack wanted to bring on, I had ordered my men to prepare the most they could for it. I'm not going to underestimate them. I'll show them that it's a mistake to mess with me. After my meeting with the Council, Quinn scolded me for the way I spoke to them but she won't understand. No one could see behind their phony concern and hypocrisy. Each and everyone of them seated there did not only shed blood to be there but they also each have a hidden agenda. Hell, even I had a hidden agenda. Well, it wasn't exactly a hidden agenda because I don't pretend to be a nice person and then plot another person's downfall behind their back. I plot your downfall right in front of you. My hidden agenda was that I wanted to use the privileged information at my disposal to gain access to all the packs around me. Gaining more territories would be easier when I knew how many people
EDEN The thought that I should have gone to Quebec crossed through my mind for the first time since I got here.That would even increase my chances of getting far away from Roman. As I walked out of the hospital, into the hot downtown sun, I let out a sigh. The baby and I were fine and I had been given my birth date. December 15th. My baby was going to be born during Christmas. I just knew this kid was going to bring smiles and joy into so many people's lives. The doctor said that the baby and I were healthy. She asked me if I wanted to know the sex but I refused to know. Maybe it was because of Roman's threat, maybe I was still too scared of what the baby will turn out to be. The past week has been quite eventful for me. During dinner with Kian, he confessed. He confessed to having feelings for me and he hoped that we could be in a relationship. Not wanting to turn him down, I told him that I needed to think about it because I needed to be sure I was doing what was right for b
EDENI was staring at the steaming hot cup of coffee with my mind no longer in this world and my hands placed lightly on the keyboard.Even though I wasn't working, I had to look like I was sincase the manager walked by. He was always walking around, something to have to do with meeting the required steps per day.Someone needed to tell him that if he kept up his unhealthy diet, he'd add even more weight than he was trying to lose.I stayed up all night trying to work on a proposal for the quarterly general meeting. It was a big thing because that was the only time we got to see the CEO and I heard that was the only time he came around.So I knew it was serious.My company markets and manages projects for other companies who need publicity. We have the proper means to get the goods out there so all they need to do is come to us.This time around, I was thinking that we should go to them. Recently, I caught wind of a clothing company that gained fame after a product of theirs gained f
EDENAlicia walked into the restaurant later than three pm that afternoon because of the kids.Isabelle was over at her house for a sleepover so we just left the kiss with her husband so she could be here.“And here I am thinking I was going to have to put out a BOLO on you.”She frowned as she sat down.“What’s a BOLO?”I swallowed my water before shaking my head.“It's a police term. “Be On the LookOut.”“Of course, you would know something like that. Anyways, I left the kids with Henry. He's going to be so surprised when he wakes up and sees two little demons running around."She had an evil look on her face like she had just done something so wrong.“You left the house without telling your husband that you left the kids with him? What if he goes out?”She scoffed loudly and I caught a few people looking at us.“He won't go out. He's grounded. That's what he gets for watching Star Wars 9 without me."Alicia's marriage was… different.I called the waiter and we ordered food. While w
EDENYou know the saying, “Don't start what you can't finish”?It should be for me.It's been six weeks since I started this project. The CEO approved it finally and they made me head the project. Even though that didn't sit well with some misogynistic fools in this office, that was okay.I worked hard for this, it was my idea and I deserved to head it.I was happy at first, but that was because I hadn't got to the hard part. The part where I had to start scouring for The littlest of things to make sure everything was going well.This week, I was meeting with Evolve, the company I'm proposing the merger to. I've been told the CEO is a difficult person but I don't want to bring myself down..If I start thinking negatively even before meeting them, I'll never achieve anything.That is why I was putting all my energy into making sure that things were perfect to a “T”.There was one knock on my door before it swung open.“Sam, there's someone here to see you.”I told Patricia to let them
EDENKian understood when I told him I couldn't make dinner. In order not to make him feel bad, I killed two birds with one stone and invited him over so we could have dinner at my house.That seemed to work out because while I worked, he offered to make dinner and we used that time to talk.“Come and eat. You can work later.”Why didn't I feel like I could work later? Either way, we had dinner and truly, I was happy I told him to come over.Kian was a good person. A good friend.So I didn't know how to feel when he moved in to kiss me. I wanted to push him away, to tell him that things like that would complicate our friendship.But I didn't. I let him.Did I regret it? I hadn't thought of it yet. Not because I didn't have time but because I was avoiding it. I would probably hate myself when I realize that I didn't stand my ground on not trusting another man.I knew that I trusted Kian and it went against everything that I had been working towards. I didn't want another man in my life
