~Alric~
“Mister Valmore, you do not know how this investment will give many of our citizens jobs. Thank you for seeing the potential here in Bay City.” The governor turned to the reporters with a smile. He was proud of the deal he closed with the great CEO of The Valmore Group Of Companies.
Alric, in his towering frame, looked down at the governor and extended his hand to him. He replied, “The pleasure is mine.” He also gazed at the cameras and, with his imposing expression, he spoke, “We look forward to identifying more business opportunities in Bay City in the future.”
After signing the contract at the city governor’s office, Alric and his party rushed to return to the Emerald Bay Hotel. Preparations were underway for him to return, and the pack, back at the Port of Valmore, was missing their Alpha.
Same as when they arrived, Alric and his men rode in a convoy. From Alric’s vehicle, he learned from Dean as he spoke in his
Thank you for reading! I appreciate the gems given and the support! Love and Kisses to everyone. Alana is such a mystery. Hope you stay tuned to find out the secrets, even she doesn't know. Please also leave some reviews. The next chapter is tomorrow.
~Alana~ “Alric? What’s wrong?” Alana asked while they rode in the car to the destination of their special family dinner. “You have been silent the entire drive?” Her eyes wandered to his hands that had formed into fists for a good five minutes. Alana sensed, Alric was agitated. She just had to get some answers. “Yes, daddy? What’s wrong?” Kai echoed his mother’s worries, seeing his father constantly looking out the window. Alric smiled faintly, his eyes dull. His adam’s apple bobbed, suggesting he gulped before answering, “It’s nothing. Just something I need to deal with back home.” Inside the luxury Maybach, Alana was sitting beside Alric, and Kai was in front of him. Alric rumpled Kai’s hair and apologized. “I’m sorry, son. Your daddy is a busy man and sometimes, my mind is frequently thinking about business.” “It’s okay, daddy,” Kai replied with a smile, still over the moon of having found his father. 
~Alana~As the couple was trickling up the stairs to the restaurant, they covered the details of Alana’s previous treatment. While they had earlier raised their voices at each other, they came into a concession.Still, Alana was unsure if Alric became resolved. She was about to dig deeper when someone called her name.“Alana? What in the world are you doing here?” Her attention was directed to a girl with bobbed hair, her small arms clinging to yet another familiar fellow.It was her ex-friend and ex-boyfriend, Claire and Matt, perhaps out on a date. They were ten steps down from where she and Alric had already climbed.“What else, Claire? Plainly, for the same reason that you are here, to have dinner,” Alana replied, her voice serene, her eyes not wandering to Matt.“You? Have dinner here?” Claire snorted. She asked, “Can you afford it - Oh, wait. Did you
~Alana~ "Mister Valmore! We are sorry!" “Alana, please! Please tell your boyfriend it was a mistake!” “Alana, have pity on Lilith! It was my fault!” From the restaurant’s reception area, one could hear the cries of Lilith and Claire. Alric was so efficient in implementing his threat, the restaurant owner terminated Lilith outright. It did not even help that Lilith scorned Alana upon seeing her step into the entrance of Chateau Bay. As for Claire, Alana had no doubt Alric would follow through on his warning. It was only a matter of time. Alana’s ex-high school friends continued to plead, trying to get past security, hoping to win Alric’s forgiveness, but the man did not even bat an eye for them. Was she regretful? A big part of Alana was convinced, they had it coming. She never understood why Lilith and Claire made it part of their life to pick on her when she had done nothing to them. They
~Alana~ “Ah!” Alana became startled while being wrapped in Alric’s arms. The man easily tore off her lace underwear beneath her gradient empire dress, and he threw it down to the floor. She remained pinned against the door, one of her legs wrapped around his waist and one cap of her dress glided down to her arm. She wasn’t sure what he meant by heavens, but didn’t that already happen when he smashed his lips to hers? Her entire body vibrated the second his finger came in contact with her bare core, and in no time, he began fondling with her clit. “Oh, gods.” Alric only took a second to let go of their smooch. He remarked, “You are so wet for me. I can’t believe you are making me wait until next week.” It was because Alana insisted they follow the instructions on the contraceptive package. She was just not ready to have another child, not when she had gone through tough times raising Kai alone and not when
~Alric~ After Alric kissed his son goodnight, Alana took him to his room for a bath. He held a last-minute meeting with his Beta and his most trusted Gammas, to cover the security measures for the departure in the morning, as well as their arrival at the Port of Valmore. Alric also had instructions for Max, especially since he was to stay behind and watch over his son and Alana. “The pack will expect us to arrive the day after tomorrow, but in reality, we will land tomorrow at five,” Dean revealed. It was always their game plan to arrive as a surprise. That and potentially catch anyone who was slacking off from their jobs. “Very well, I guess we are all set,” Alric nodded in Dean’s direction, and his Beta rose from his seat. From one packed suitcase, Dean brought out an antique jewelry box. He handed it to his Alpha, saying, “Here you go, Alric.” The box was in the shade of dark walnut, carved wit
~Alric~ In the past few days, Alric tried to hold his urges, but really, how long can he withstand? He was a wolf, an Alpha one at that. It wasn’t in his kind to hold back when he desired a woman, and he genuinely desired Alana. He craved her so much, his rod always mounted in salute whenever she was around him. How could anyone blame him for trying? Especially since he would be away for a week? He knew he and his wolf would yearn for her dearly. He just had… to give it a try. He walked out, purposely lowering the towel to his hip, his body still glinting from the water that washed over the features of his striking frame. When he saw how Alana was in a panic, he was pleased. His plan was working, and he wasn’t going to end the night getting nothing. Alric slammed his hands against the headboard of the bed, trapping Alana in between his powerful arms. He could hear her protesting, but that did not stop him. When he sug
~Alana~ Waking up next to Alric always made Alana feel wanted. She wished he didn’t have to go. Alana was bound into his embrace, as usual, his long and thick arms squeezed against the firmness of his chest. When she turned to face him, he instinctively held her tighter. She softly giggled, looking at his ruggedly handsome face, his eyes still closed. Even as Alric lay flat on his back, one of his arms still held her waist. She settled her forearm on his chest and her chin landed on her hand. She bit her lip, feeling the urge to touch his long and pointed nose. Slowly, she lifted her finger and started tracing his features. From the bridge of his nose, she reached the tip, then her finger wandered off to his long lashes, just before caressing the scar over his right brow. In an instant, she had a lightbulb moment. Her eyes became hooded as they scanned to his adam’s apple, his well-sculpted shoulders, and chest. She sig
~Alana~ “Alana, are you sure you are alright?” Max inquired. His fingers scraped through his black hair before he offered, “Maybe I should tell Alric about this - “ “No!” Alana was sharp to counter, saying, “Don’t. be so silly. It’s.” She gulped down her own spew and resumed, “It’s nothing that a doctor can’t handle. It was probably just an insect bite, or maybe the fact that Kai was running around so much last night, his muscles were probably sore and I -" She paused, thinking about what to say, but eventually, she found a suitable answer. "This is still the aftermath of my accident a few years back - yeah. I get this sometimes, but it's not really serious. Trust me." A frown became apparent on Max's face before he offered, “Can I take a look - “ “No!” Alana’s hand raised, stopping Max from his attempt. “Kai and I are exhausted, Max. Do you mind if we take a rest for the day? Kai and I would really like to have a good bath.” “Trust me
