Chapter 16
Francesca gripped the tray of refreshments that she was carrying, shocked at the scene before her.
"Is everything alright?" she asked. Tristan let go of Jacob, looking a bit guilty as he straightened the collar of his shirt. Jacob did the same to his front, smirking, while Gavin and Calvin stayed in their seats looking uncomfortable.
"Yes, of course. Let me take that." Tristan smiled at Francesca, taking the tray from her.
"Okay, um...it's just water though," Francesca said, still confused at the boys' reactions. "Lynn and I are heading to the cafe down the block. I was wondering if you guys want anything from there?"
"Is it Starbucks? I'll only order if it's Starbucks." Calvin piped up in sudden interest, his previously sour mood brightening.
"Yes?" Francesca answered hesitantly.
"Oh, I'll take a caramel macchiato, then. I love caramel." Calvin announced.
Gavin cleared his throat, "My order's somewhat em

Francesca ran her hands down the black silk dress that she was wearing as she stepped out of the black limousine that her mate had sent for her. After a long, dreary meeting with the Crescent Moon Pack about Stefano's unexpected visit, Tristan had to leave for a meeting in Brooklyn and Francesca went back home. She had waited at the penthouse but she didn't mind the isolation. It was what she was used to, after all. But Tristan must have felt guilty for leaving her as Omega servants arrived at the door, saying Tristan was waiting to have dinner with her in a restaurant outside. Francesca had been pampered, made-up, and dressed-up and as she rode on the car on the way to the restaurant, her anxiety was a constant. The look on Tristan's face when he spotted her took all that away, however. "You look breathtaking, qin ai de." Tristan murmured, his eyes traveling from her head to her toe. Francesca blushed in pleasure as his gaze continued to caress her, a pl

"So here's your office. I'm so sorry about the mess." Lnn said and Francesca tried not to yawn as Lynn showed her around her workspace. She didn't get much sleep last night, unable to rest from the dread that she felt in her chest. And even more so, unable to confront Tristan about what he was keeping from her. Needless to say, last night was overwhelming for Francesca, feeling like she knew more about her mate and then nothing at all. "Hello, Francesca?" Lynn waved a hand in front of Francesca's face."Are you with me, I said, here are files...that need filing." "Yea, of course. Noted." Francesca said, trying to sound sure. Lynn briefly frowned at her, then turned back into showing Francesca the office, "So ledgers...I know nothing about that. I don't know why they're here. I'm pretty sure someone else is in charge of that." Francesca tried not to laugh at Lynn's expression, momentarily forgetting her unsettling dilemma. As som

She was dying. Francesca couldn't wrap her head around it. How was she supposed to tell Tristan? She managed to ask Wendy to not reveal it to her, which was hard to do considering how loyal the Epsilon to her Alpha was. But now it was her who felt like she was going to explode because of the secret as soon as she saw him. The whole time they were at work, she could barely concentrate, especially with him throwing hungry and loving looks in her direction. Francesca felt sick. Just earlier that day, she was starting to resent Tristan for the secrets he was keeping from her, and now she was keeping one herself.She felt this grave betrayal even more as the penthouse door opened, revealing Tristan with the groceries in his arms. They had stopped by the supermarket before heading back home as Tristan insisted on cooking for her again, obviously happy to do such a domestic thing for her."You should've let me help you. It looks like you can't even see the ground with all the

Tristan was in a bad mood. These past few days with them broken up, seeing her at work without being able to touch her was putting him on edge. That day, she had called Lynn and moved in with her the next day. Now his Beta was all over his case too, accusing him of being abusive to Francesca. Women can be so frustrating. On top of all this, Tristan was finally on the mission to discover who had been spying on him for Stefano this whole time. Only a few trusted men in his pack knew about his plan, with all of his human employees none the wiser, and he hoped they could catch the traitor today. Otherwise, he was really going to snap. Tristan spot his cousin Jacob on his usual spot at the board room table, deliberately not looking him in the eyes. Beside his cousin was Belinda Wong (nee Myers), the woman who he hired to marry him. Tristan smirked at how much of a hell their household might be, considering how the two hated each other. He felt sorry for his niece and nephew and wondered,

Tristan, Lynn, and Francesca rushed out of the office, their tense faces earning curious looks from the people working around them. Thankfully, no one asked them what was wrong."Why the hell would he take them? They're humans, for God's sake. They have nothing to do with this." Tristan whispered at Lynn angrily. He knew the answer to his question, though. As soon as Jacob made that deal with Stefano, they were in on it. God, how stupid could his cousin be? Tristan opened his mouth to verbalize this, but Lynn shook her head at him, looking around to make sure none of their human employees heard him."I'm not surprised. Stefano's easy to insult, and Jacob shouted at him." Francesca's voice piped up behind him and Tristan immediately stopped in his tracks."What do you think you're doing?" He asked with a frown, looking down at his mate.Francesca pulled herself up to her full height, "I'm coming with you. I can help.""No, you're n

Letting out her characteristic deranged battle cry, Lynn shifted back to her wolf form and lunged at Stefano. "No!" Tristan screamed as the Alpha struck her with no hesitation. In that one hit, Lynn broke the glass towards the balcony and landed there painfully. She went immobile within seconds. "You said you wouldn't hurt her." T snarled at Stefano. "Well, you can't really blame me for defending myself, can you?" Stefano answered, and Tristan couldn't really argue about that. He checked Lynn in his periphery. She was beginning to stir, so he gathered she'll be okay. Tristan made a mental note to remind her again about recklessly attacking Alphas, especially ones as insane as Stefano. "Are you sure you want to do this? All of werewolf kind will know what you are, Stefano." Tristan said, buying himself time. As he was, Tristan knew he stood no chance against Stefano, who was different than other werewolves. His opponent

"Lynn? Oh, thank God. How are you? How is he?" Francesca asked, pacing back and forth like a lunatic. She had been sick with worry for her mate and Lyn, and her heart was threatening to burst out of her chest."We're okay. Where are you right now? In my apartment?" Lynn answered from the other line."Oh..." Francesca looked around her and suddenly felt embarrassed. When Tristan said go home, the penthouse was the first thing that came to her mind. It was as if she never left."I'm at the penthouse," she tells Lynn, knowing how the Beta would react."Okay. We're on our way." Lynn replied, sounding amused.It was another grueling ten minutes or so until Francesca heard the door open. She saw him then, fresh scars on his body and an exhausted and pale look on his face. But her mate smiled brightly like he always did in front of her. And despite everything, Francesca rushed into his arms, crying."Please don't do that to me aga

Francesca woke up with a start. She realized she fell asleep on the chair beside Tristan's bed. Around her, Lynn and the doctors were no longer in the room, and so was Tristan. Her heartbeat raced as she looked for his mate. Then, she noticed a light behind his walk-in closet. It was from a room in which Francesca hadn't seen before. She walked through it and found Tristan staring up at the wall in front of him, where a huge investigation board was put up. Francesca studied her mate for a second. He had been in a bad state just hours ago, so she felt relief seeing that he looked fine now. The color was back in his cheeks and lips, and he didn't shiver anymore. But then again, that was just the surface."Tristan? How are you feeling? Are you sure you should be walking around right now?" she asked him.Tristan turned towards her voice, smiling gently, "I'm feeling better, qin ai de. Don't worry.""Are you sure?""Yes, my wolf's regen
