NICOLAS…He nods, I crouch down next to her and whisper,“Thalia, why weren’t you both in the building?”She looks over at me and frowns before she says, sounding like I should know why.“Anna no longer has access to the building. Only people with ID access cards may enter and go up to the offices without official booked in business. She no longer has one since Mr MarLaren fired her…”“What?… Fired her? Why?”“He told her some bullshit about a meeting with you and that you had said that the office needed to cut costs and she was to be let go… Mr Nightmoon, why did you ask for her to be fired? I saw you that day. She meant something to you… But I guess I was wrong as you told him to fire her. Was what she is that much of a threat to you… To everyone?”“I never wanted… I told Barnald to promote Annalise not fire

RANDALL… I wait for her to sit down before I then ask, “What do you know of mates?” “Just what we are taught, they are the other half of us, that they complete us.” “Okay, have you ever heard of someone having two or more mates?” “It can happen. There have been varied reports of werewolves having more than one mate. Usually, it is the female who has two or more male mates as she needs the protection.” “Okay, now how can a wolf have two mates and yet lay claim and refuse to release a third?” “You’re talking about you and the Luna, aren’t you?” “Yes, Hugo and I now have Charmine and Candace and, as you know, they are both already pregnant. However, Hugo will not let Annalise go. Annalise tried to reject us today, and I felt the mate bond between us waver and try to sever, but he wouldn’t allow it. Why? What makes her different? What makes me?” Amity seems to have a fight within herself before sighing and saying, “Are you sure?" "Sure about what?" "Are you sure you want to k

ANNALISE… I know I haven’t been in here for very long, but it feels like a lifetime. I have never been separated from Misty or the pack for even just a small amount of time. I wipe the tears that are still running down my cheek and make myself as well as Misty, a promise that I will never do anything to make him place us in this dark box again.I don’t move as I hear the pressure locks sound and then the wall in front of me moves. I don’t move or look up until I feel his hand on my cheek. I look up and into his eyes, which are gold and red and know that Hugo is in control and whisper,“I’m sorry… Please…”“Shh, come here.”He moves his hand just a little on my cheek, letting me know to move as he does. As he gets to his feet, I get to mine. I look up at him once he is standing at his full height. He whispers,“I love you, Lise. I always have. You are mine, stay with me…”After what happened today, I now know that I have no choice and that I am never getting away from him. With anothe

ANNALISE…I ignore her and walk back over to the black dry-cleaner bag and smile as I reach into the bottom and pull out matching red heels. I slip them on and then walk over to where Charmine is still standing at the door. As soon as I am next to her, she steps aside and growls,“Randall says to be on your best behaviour or you know what will happen.”I nod and walk with her down the hall, down the stairs and out the back. I place a small smile on my face and make my way over to the stage where Randall is already standing and making one of his many speeches for the night. However, as soon as he sees us, he stops talking and just stares. I glance over at Charmine and see the big smile spread over her face at his reaction.However, this makes me feel a little guilty and a little smug as I know that look and that stare is not for Charmine but for me, it is the same look he has given me every time we have been out on a date and he has seen me in my dress for the night for the first time

NICOLAS… After seeing Alpha Bridger and Thalia to his car, I told Thalia to take the rest of the week off, allowing her to recover at least maybe a little before returning to work. I then head back into the office. I am fuming, and so is Raoul. He wants blood, but since this situation was made worse by a human, he couldn’t have the blood he wanted.Raoul wants to stop at MacLaren’s level and face him right this minute and I couldn’t agree more with him, I would love to beat him to a pulp and then rip his head off and if I didn’t have the strict control over myself and him, then Barnald MacLaren wouldn’t have a chance.Then there is also the fact that there would be too many witnesses at this time of day, and then there is the fact that it would be extremely messy and take a lot of time and effort that I don’t have to clean it up. Then probably the most annoying and the most undesirable is that I couldn’t be bothered with the murder or missing human person investigation that would fol

NICOLAS…Randolf gets to his feet and walks over to the door, opens it and sticks his head out, says something to Mel. Mel then passes him a folder. He then thanks her, closes the door and then returns to his seat. Once seated, he then opens the file and continues,“He was good when he was first hired and he moved up in position very quickly. However, his work was starting to slack off around 10 years ago and then 5 years ago we started receiving small complaints about him not doing his job properly, losing money for clients, misrepresenting other clients and stating false statements as facts…”“Let me guess, he had then suddenly and miraculously turned back into his brilliant self around 3 years ago, right?”He looks and scans the file in front of him and then says,“Yes, that’s right. How did you know that?”“Because it was 6 months after Annalise started workin

NICOLAS… I then reach over and pick up Annalise’s file and look up her contact number. I then give the folder and one of the forms to Alice and say, “Your paperwork Alice. When you return to your office, can you please adjust Mrs Remington’s file to say that she still works here?” Alice takes both from me and nods her head before turning and leaving the office, closing the doors behind her. I then enter Annalise’s number, except it goes straight to voice mail. I don’t want to tell her that she still has her job over the phone, so I just leave a simple message, “Mrs Remington, this is Mr Nightmoon. If you could call me back, I would like to speak to you.” I then hang up. I have a feeling that after the scene at lunch, I will not hear back from her as he will not let her. My temper just starts to rise once more as there is a soft knock on the door and I know straight away that it is my secretary. I smile and say, “Enter.” Mel opens the doors again and steps to the side as she says

NICOLAS… After a few moments, Raoul looks left and then right. He waits a few moments more before stepping over the boundary line. He then takes off running, following that vanilla rose and strawberry scent. We don’t come across any patrols and I smile as I now know what he was doing as he ran along the boundary line. He was scanning and looking for where the patrols were. We follow the scent to a little old rundown shack. Raoul moves quietly through the trees and keeps his senses open at all times, even as he is drawn in by her scent. He walks all around the shack and when he finds the window; he jumps inside. I shake my mental head at him as he sniffs around the room and finds where the scent is the most concentrated and then sits before lying down and rolling in it. I shake my head at him again. He has never done anything like this, even when we found Hana. He was drawn to her, and we both loved her, but what he is doing now it is li
