*DAMON*After eating, my senses fully came back and I started to make strategic plans in my head. I put down my plans in my business notepad like I had always done and then requested the presence of the developing team leader.I told him to sit as soon as he came in."Mr Blake, which country did you say the engineer in charge of the new technology product is?" I inquired."He is in the Netherlands sir. Why do you ask?""I'll travel down there to meet him. Get in action with the PR and the advertising team once I give you a go ahead. Get them to change the floor plan for the launch site.""But sir--" He was obviously going to object and I cut him off abruptly."Would you just follow instructions without asking questions?""I'm sorry sir." He apologized immediately.I left the company immediately after and headed to Astrid's place. I hadn't seen Charles since. He was healing quite well. His injury looked better then. He wasn't fully human so speedy recovery was a given, even with Astri
*SARAH*"Stop wishing, you can never get there." I heard a familiar, masculine voice say and I turned around.My eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I turned around to see who it was. Alpha Asher?I immediately turned away, with the intention of pretending not to know him."See this bitch." I heard him mutter then he chortled. "Want to pretend not to know me, huh?" He placed his hand on my right shoulder to spin me around to face him.I was facing him again. The handsome betrayer and mate that rejected me. I never could think that a day would come and I would face him again. I already had him zeroed from my mind."So you ran away from your father's pack and came here. How did you get here, huh? Why are you here?" Then he gave an expression that he had realized his answer."Oh. Don't tell me...you are working here as a call girl? That has to be it." He concluded and started laughing mockingly while I remained there, watching him in silence. My grip on the mini purse tightened
ALPHA DAMON’S POV*The morning came so fast. And we were up early also, to prepare for the meeting with Karl Wagner. No. Better put, we were going to meet him wherever he was. And I would force an audience with him.After having a brief breakfast at the hotel, we left for our destination. I had a good eye for clothes. The official outfit I got for Sarah fitted her perfectly and looked good on her. It was a crisp white button-down blouse that was tucked into a high-waist, knee-length pencil skirt in cobalt blue. Then she wore a pair of silver stud earrings with white cover heels.I couldn't help but to stare at her frequently. She packed her hair into a ponytail, revealing her pretty neckline.We left the hotel in one of the hotel cars. It was among the benefits that came with lodging at the hotel. The hotel was the best in the Netherlands, so that much was expected.We headed to the second-best hotel in the country. I was going to catch him unaware.On getting there, we were denied a
*DAMON*The car's speed increased; the driver must have noticed I was following them.Determined, I stepped on the accelerator real time with the plan to overtake their car.The more I went after them, the more their car's speed increased. After some minutes of playing cat and rat, I successfully overtook them on a bridge that led to another area.I alighted my car and walked over to theirs. "I need to talk to you now, Mr. Karl." "What's the meaning of all these, Mr. Mackay?" He was losing his patience already."It's urgent. Just spare me a few minutes." I pleaded gently. After so much persuasion, he gave in and we headed back to his hotel. Our meeting was held at the rooftop of the hotel, the roof of about a fifty-storey building."Could I ask where you were heading to?" I inquired politely even though I knew the answer. He was going to run away."I don't think that should be any of your business." He replied sassily. I didn't mind by the way. "Please get to the point." He added.
*DAMON*I didn’t tell Karl Wagner all of my plans, but I gave him a hint. I told him to act like everything was normal and continue doing his usual thing. Then I went back to my hotel.On my way to the hotel, the sky got dark and cloudy. I saw something familiar flash across the sky – it was the moon goddess’s symbol. My father had taught me about it when I was younger.I was surprised because it hadn’t appeared for over a hundred years, from what I knew. “What does this mean?” I wondered out loud.“Zac told me the moon goddess might be here on Earth,” He said to me making me surprised the more.I parked the car in front of the hotel, and a valet took the keys to park it in the basement garage. With a lot on my mind, I headed up to the suite.As I entered the suite, I was shocked to see Sarah lying lifeless on the floor. Before entering, I had heard a loud, almost deafening groan that sounded like a wolf, which puzzled me. I felt uneasy as I stepped into the room.My heart sank as I w
ALPHA DAMON'S POVShe furrowed her brows. "The moon goddess?" She asked in unbelief. She didn't know."What are you talking about?" She pressed curiously. Then she held her forehead. "Argh." She groaned and I sensed that it was a headache. I quickly got her a glass of water to drink. I had us flown out of the Netherlands the day she fell unconscious. There was a whole lot to do at Avalon. To avoid unnecessary attention, I had us lodged in a hotel also. And after twenty four good hours, she woke up.She became calm after drinking water and I stroked her hair gently."You need to rest." I muttered."But I've been in sleep for so long." She countered strongly and I smiled faintly. "You still need rest.""Any update? Did you get to meet with Karl Wagner again? What was his response? Will he finish the invention?" She inquired. She was too concerned."Chill, Beauty. Good news, he agreed to do it." I announced and she clasped her hands together as if to pray. As expected, she closed her e
ALPHA DAMON'S POVIt was a few hours to the launch and my greatest wish then was that nothing would go south. Sarah had followed me down to the company in preparation for the party. She had insisted on coming with me.She had put on the white top she wore for the meeting in the Netherlands and instead of a skirt, she was on black dress pants and the white shoes. She was looking just perfect.When we got to the company, I realized there were so many eyes on her, considering the fact that I had never come to the office with a woman and she looked nothing like my secretary, Chloe. Aside from that, she was looking too beautiful to go unnoticed.I had kept all the workers that were related to the new technology under strict instructions. Everyone would carry on with their normal businesses as if nothing happened or something was going to happen. And to be on the safe side, I found a way to put trackers on their phones. All thanks to the computer gurus. I had also ordered that no one must l
*DAMON*I had to leave the location immediately. I knew this was going to happen. It had occurred just as the truck driver said over the phone. Then I put a call through to Karl Wagner. "You can send off the truck now." I instructed.We had drafted out a plan B. I couldn't trust the workers at Pinnacle World. I knew someway, somehow, the news about the launch would get out. So we had planned to send a truck with fake products beforehand so Anthony could go away with it.I was very glad it worked. I was in the truck till it got to the launch site. I knew very well that I was late. But I could hear a pretty voice speak from inside. It was Sarah.Where did she get the confidence from? I was really proud of her. She spoke so fluently and eloquently and I was pretty sure that was the first time she would be facing a crowd.Immediately she got off the stage, my sight sense was sharp enough to see her tremble. I knew she could lost balance any moment from then so I was quick to catch her.
