“Were you even going to tell me?” The menacing voice rang into Helena’s ear, sending a shiver down her spine.
Still, she tried to remain calm, “W-Well, your Grace. The audits have already been…adjusted to what we want it to reflect so I didn’t see a need to worry you about something like this.”
“Hm…” Greg contemplated, “Your people are sure that my cousins bought it? That the figures are real?”
Helena frantically answered, “Yes! I spoke to the three of them in charge when I got to the office. They practically knelt and pleaded, swearing that they did what we asked them to do. And the receptionists said one stack went with the King and one with the Duke…the other Duke. I mean, if they didn’t believe it, why bother splitting the documents between themsel

“Weaver, watch your left foot. And remember to keep your core in.” Lucianne reminded him as she and Toby watched Weaver spar with Yarrington.Toby was as serious as Lucianne was when he said, “Yarrington, don’t overdo those punches. Get to his nose, there have been two openings already. Don’t miss a third.”After another few minutes of hitting and dodging, Weaver came out as the winner. He helped his mate up. That was when General Langford of the Lycan warriors came to where they were, bringing along one of his own warriors. He bowed without a smile, and Lucianne returned the bow with an equally straight face. “How can I help you, General?”He

Lucianne kicked backwards, aiming at his testicles and Xandar groaned in anguish. His grip on her waist loosened and she elbowed his chest, pushing him backwards by a few steps. She turned around to face him, pain and guilt filled her eyes as she stood where she was to watch her mate’s reaction. When Xandar regained his bearing, he looked at his mate with only humour and playfulness as he teased out loud, “Why the anguished look, my love? I haven’t even landed any blows on you yet.”The guilt in Lucianne’s eyes was gone. She watched him get into a position ready to spar her, and she asked, “Do you really want to do this, Xandar?”“You’re not afraid to lose now, are you, sweetheart?” Xandar challeng

Alphas Juan and Tate were shocked but soon after that, excited. They wasted no time linking the other Alphas and Lunas through their pack leaders group-link. And the leaders, in turn, informed their Gammas. The wolves came over and started pairing up with the Lycans. Some Lycans followed Weaver and Yarrington, and went to where the wolves were to pair up with them. After watching Lucianne, most of the Lycans kept their guard up. Many didn’t underestimate the smaller-sized opponent in front of them seeing that even the smallest wolf was able to take down the largest and strongest Lycan, right after taking down their General and his best warrior.Xandar paired with Toby, and Christian paired with Juan. Most Gammas stood on the sides to watch two pairs at a time. Within the first few minutes, it was clear that more Lyca

Lucianne, Xandar and Christian skipped lunch in the dining hall for lunch at Christian’s home. Annie had wanted to meet Lucianne ever since Xandar first told Christian about finding his mate at the annual meet-and-greet. The cousins and Lucianne herself really wanted to start digging into the audits, the real ones, so it sounded like lunch at the residence of the Duke and Duchess was the perfect plan. Lucianne was also concerned with how Ellia, Ben and the other two families were holding up, so when Xandar asked if she wanted to go, she didn’t hesitate to say yes. Christian’s villa was about the same size as Xandar’s but the interior had more portraits. Xandar explained that Christian had been fascinated with art for as long as he could remember. His wife, Annie, loved flowers, which explained the colourful flower beds

Annie dropped her humour and reciprocated Lucianne’s serious demeanor, “They’re alright. But it’s always a worry when the kids are in school. Waiting for the time to pass, and just hoping that they’ll come home safely is pure torture.”“Let’s hope the case can be closed soon.” Lucianne said with furrowed brows. Suddenly, Lucianne felt her dress being gently tugged. She looked at the source, and her voice turned soft as she bent down to greet the little boy, “Hello, Russell. How was school today?”“Hello, Aunt Lucy.” He wrapped his little arms around Lucianne’s neck right after he said that. It didn’t matter how many times Russell hugged her, her heart would melt every

They sat at a huge dining table that the servants had to take out from the basement when the three families moved in. Ellia and Ben were happy to see Lucianne again. And Ellia introduced Lucianne to her assistants and their families. Brigetta Reese and her mate, Barton Reese were newlyweds, and had a six-month-old child named Beatrice. Oscar Wildrow was mateless for now, and lived with his sister, Olivia Wildrow. They all sat at the same table and ate the same food as the Duke and Duchess. Russell insisted that he sat with Lucianne. After knowing about Xandar’s jealousy, Lucianne made sure she stroked Xandar’s arm affectionately after she had given Russell any form of attention. Xandar’s animal beamed in pride whenever Lucianne touched him in front of so many people.When Lucianne asked the families wheth

Ellia and her assistants sorted out the audits in Christian’s study, explaining to them how it was arranged. And they started going through the stacks together. Russell somehow managed to convince his mother and Lucianne that he’ll be a good, quiet little boy doing his homework at a small corner table in the study while the adults around him worked. Xandar didn’t mind since he was far away enough from Lucianne.Since Ellia, Brigetta and Oliver were blackmailed into fabricating the audits without question, they never dared to scrutinize how the funds in the five people’s accounts were connected to each other. They were just told to change the figures so that the amounts resembled those of other government officials. In essence, the analysis on the real audits had to now start from scratch. After comparing the audits, they found a pattern in the incoming and outgoing

In the car, Xandar drove a bit before starting the conversation, “Lucy, Christian asked me to thank you.” Lucianne blinked in confusion, “For what?” Xandar explained sadly, “For not asking Annie why they don't have kids.” Lucianne then shrugged and said, “There’s no need to thank me for something like that. The absence of kids is only for two reasons. One is because they don’t want them, in which case, who am I to question their decision? Or two, it’s because…unfortunately, they can’t have them. If that’s the case, then why bring it up to hurt them even more?” Xandar laced his fingers with hers and kissed the back of her hand as he uttered, “You’re amazing.”
