Finishing one meeting right now, Elliot texted Bryan to inform him that the next meeting they had has been relocated to the Lycan Council Hall. The old Red moon Alpha refused to meet in Ortiz Kingdom, Bryan’s territory, insisting on the Lycan Council because apparently, it was on neutral territory. ‘Pussy,’ Bryan snorted as he shoved his phone back in his suit pocket before adjusting his tie while strolling to the elevator. The old Red moon Pack was one of its Kind in the whole Lycan World. The only pack that wasn’t under the rule of any Kingdom. They stood on their own and mostly minded their business because they weren’t fully accepted by the other wolves. They consisted of rogue wolves who were either banished due to a crime they committed or were lost or estranged from their previous packs. A little anti-social and independent, the Red Moon Pack was suspected of an involvement in the abduction and assassination of higher-ups wolves in the Ortiz Kingdom. Everyone thought Bryan
“Cancel all my appointments and drive back to the office.” Bryan mind-linked as he’d shifted to his wolf. in his human state, he would need wolf's bane as an antidote to the poisoning but he would heal quickly in his wolf form.Elliot nodded his head before driving him back to his office.The entire drive back, his wolf wouldn’t settle down calmly as it struggled to fight the poison.A little while later, Bryan shifted back to his human, fully naked, and quickly changed into the clothes that Elliot had helped him take off.About to leave the car, his cell phone vibrated and he reached for it, thinking it was a message from Roy but it turned out to be Cassandra.--Did you get my surprise? This is the beginning of your woes if you don’t stop going after Roy Jordan. My father has done enough for Ortiz.Bryan breathed through his teeth to get his anger under control. He’d been right about Rachel. Cassandra must have sent her to do this.“Do we tell King Edric about this?” Elliot said quie
Throughout the weekend, Roy didn’t hear from Bryan, nor was his text replied to. Although it was uneventful, he couldn’t still brush off the feeling of being watched and on Sunday night, he chose to sit up with Kyle while Hailey slept.Sweating from anxiety, he resumed back at Anderson Inc, his mind in a mess and finally, during lunch break, he went to Bryan’s office.“I’d like to see Mr. Anderson.” He murmured as he stopped at Stella’s desk at the reception. They all knew that without a prior invitation from the CEO, the penthouse was a restricted area. It surprised him a little that the password hasn’t“I’m sorry, Mr. Anderson isn’t meeting anyone right now…” she paused midsentence when she clicked gazes with him, “Oh, it’s you.”Smiling awkwardly he nodded.“I’ll ring him right away.”After a brief conversation on the intercom, Roy finally walked past the long hallway until he reached the double doors leading into Bryan’s office.The office was quiet and the man sitting on a leathe
After getting off work at night, Roy stepped out of the building, perturbed that Kristine wasn’t at work either as she’d left early for a date with Liam. Suddenly, a man and a woman came to stand by his side. “Who are you?” Roy had been waiting for Carpalia here because of Cassandra Andorra’s threat, he didn’t dare to take a taxi by himself with a heavy heart. He was also angry that Bryan didn’t care it was related to the safety of his life.“Mr. Jordan, Hello.” the lean muscular man offered his hand, which Roy hesitantly took, “My name is Andrew Salvatore and this is my younger sister, Anna Salvatore. We were appointed by the CEO, Mr. Anderson to protect you. Whenever you go out in the future, we must be by your side.” Roy was taken aback. Were they truly sent by Bryan Anderson? The corners of his mouth curled up as a red rosy flush stained his cheeks. Since Bryan had given only a light ‘hmm’ today, he didn’t expect him to hire bodyguards for him. Both brother and sister look ve
Roy narrowed his eyes, “What do you mean?” Bryan had a distant look in his eyes as he began explaining. That day when Bryan had taken Roy to meet his family and his father called him for a conversation. They have a huge argument. His father whirled on him as soon as he walked into the study, a thunderous expression on his face, “What is he doing here?” “He is my mate, father.” He said with a derisive smirk, “and also my birthday gift to you.” “Do you want him dead?” he thundered and Bryan crossed his arms over his chest. “Stop the threats father, we both know you won’t do anything to Roy Jordan.” The veins on his face popped out and he stormed over to his desk, fetching pictures from his drawers. He threw them at his face. Narrowing his eyes, Bryan leaned over and picked up the pictures. His eyes widened as he took in the images. “You…You killed Andy?” he stumbled through his sentence. “I wouldn’t hesitate to do the same to that little thing in my foyer.” Anger lanced throu
"Bang!" Whose jaw fell to the ground? "Boom!" The documents in his hand also slipped. All high-level executives are in a state of shock. When he said the things he did, the voice of the CEO was not low. They couldn’t even pretend that they didn’t hear it. When he heard Bryan’s words, blood rushed to Roy’s face making it hot and scarlet. Why would Bryan do this? Roy groaned internally. The high-level executives only knew the relationship between Cassandra and Bryan. Why was he trying to put him in trouble with his father? He couldn’t fight a wolf. The people around him were peering at him like he was under investigation, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and left in a hurry. There was a brief silence at the elevator door, and the senior executives stooped to pick up the documents they had dropped on the floor, not daring to speak. Bryan thinned his lips and entered the elevator with a cold face, and the other high-level executives followed immediately.
The man was older and very plain-looking, with slightly thick eyebrows. Dressed in old jeans that sat snug on his hips and an old shirt, he looked like a police man that wasn’t on duty. Roy was sitting very close to them but shielded by potted plants so they couldn’t see him. he liked it, choosing to remain hidden. Why was Liam with this older man? Leaning over to get a sharper hearing of their words, Roy brought up a magazine he saw on the table and covered his face. “Are you telling me Charlie Jordan and Anne Jordan didn’t just abandon their child at the orphanage?” he heard Liam’s voice whisper harshly to the man. “I already told you that those aren’t your brother’s parents’ real names.” the man replied, snapping his fingers to call the attention of a server, “Black coffee please.” Roy felt like his head was swimming. Liam was investigating his parents…without telling him? No wonder he was always on his phone and secretive for the past few months. The thought made his stomach
The thought made him lightheaded. It was already dark outside, and he realized that he’d spent hours in the coffee after Liam had gone to mull over the things he’d heard. He needed to go home. He was sure his guards would be searching hell and heaven for him. Dialing their numbers, he rattled off his location to them after assuring them that he was fine and walked out to wait for them. After standing outside the coffee shop for a while, he looked behind his shoulder and felt that there was someone following him. he couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, or it was real or maybe he was just being paranoid. He frowned and walked over to the well-lit parking lot to wait for the bodyguards to bring the car. Suddenly a Ford swung into the parking lot, slowing to a stop beside him and Angelo stepped down from it. The hair at the back of his neck prickled with tension. What was he doing here and why was he standing so close to him? “Hey…Angelo,” he said nervously to quell the tension. Th
