“I may love you, Annalise, however, my soul was bound to hers… it needs time to recover,”
I explain quietly.
Saying I love her leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, but I have no other option.
We shifters can transform into werewolves under a full moon, however not every werewolf can. Some will simply get their fangs, or claws. Not many can handle a full shift or even want to. It’s painful, but after the first few times, you get used to it.
However, aside from that, we are faster and stronger than the average human, with a heightenedsense of smell and hearing.
Then there’s the mate bond, something that pulls us towards our soul mates. There is a powerful connection, one that makes you yearn for their company and presence constantly.
Just the way I used to look forward to seeing Zaia… After a long day at work, coming home to her… she’d always make me a hot drink, and even when I was too tired to make conversation, she wouldunderstand. She’d sit quietly, snuggling into me, or massaging my temples or shoulders.
I miss her.
The crushing pain in my chest returns with vengeance, and I turn away.
“Seb! Are you really leaving?”
She gasps as she grabs me from the back of my shirt. “Please don’t.”
“I have things to handle Annalise,”
I mutter, shrugging her off as I head to the door. “You’re clearlyfine… get some rest.”
I don’t wait for an answer as I step out into the darkness and get back into my car.
My phone that I left in the car shows several missed calls from Jai, as well as several texts from him. I’m in no mood to talk to anyone and so I look at the texts.
JAI: Your father has stopped the funding on the apartment block project you were working on. Not only that but he’s put a stop to the youth training facility. Do something man, because if we stop that work now, we are going to lose millions of dollars.
I stare at the message, my heart thundering as blistering rage flares through me like a volcano rumbling, ready to burst.
How dare he!
I know why he’s doing this. He’s trying to force me back under his control.
My phone beeps again and I glance down at the next message. A message that makes my blood boil and any self-control I have left vanishes.
DAD: I’m certain you got the news by now. I am putting a stop to all the projects you are working on. You may be the CEO of Aran King Enterprises, but I am still the Founder and Owner. Rememberyour place, Sebastian. Without me, you are nothing.
SEBASTIAN.
A loud knocking on the door makes me jerk up. The incessant pounding in my head makes me flinch, the hammering sound of the knocking only making it worse.
“Stop it.”
I growl as the door is thrown open to reveal a very cheery and energetic Jai.
Why the fuck are we friends?
“Rise and shine, Cupcake!”
he says, dunking the paper bag of what I can tell is breakfast from the smell, before he places a foam cup of strong coffee next to it.
I guess he has his uses.
“I hope you aren’t thinking of ways to kill me,”
he remarks, observing me suspiciously.
I smirk, “I was just wondering why we are friends, then I remembered you make a good maid.”
He casts me a glare before opening the blinds, the dazzling sunlight only making my head hurt more.
“Close them!”
“No, it’s morning. Why the hell were you drinking?”
he asks, scanning the empty bottles that surround my desk, scattered on the floor.
How much did I drink?
“Because I wanted to,”
I reply quietly, a sudden thought entering my mind. The day of the rejection Ihad offered Zaia a drink of our favourite wine.
Deep down, I was hoping that the memory would make her falter and refuse to accept my rejection. Yet she bent far faster than I could have imagined, throwing water all over my plans.
“So you mentioned the Whispering Mountain Pack Ball yesterday. Are you actually considering going to it?”
he asks as he drops into the seat opposite my desk.
I’ve searched all the packs around here, even those we are not on friendly terms with. There areonly a few packs that I have not managed to get into and those belong to enemy packs.
Whispering Mountain is one of them, and this is the perfect chance to infiltrate their grounds.
“Yes, I’ll be going.”
“Then I’m coming with you. You know it’s going to be risky. Are you seriously considering this?”
“Like I said, yes I am. Besides, when the invitation came last week, Annalise saw it and she wantedto go.”
It’s a good idea, and suddenly it begins to make even more sense that I should go. There’s a high chance that the one behind all of this may be there. If I take Annalise, they will realise I truly have moved on…
Who is it and what do they want from me?
“Cool, then I’ll take Valerie,”
Jai says casually.
I look up sharply and frown. “Valerie? As in Valerie Scott, your ex?”
I ask, opening up the brown paper bag.
There’s some hangover medicine in there too. The guy can be so damn annoying, but he’s a good friend, half the time anyway.
“Yes, Doctor Valerie Scott,”
He replies sarcastically, making me frown. Sighing, he shrugs, “Yeah, she’s still super hot, and I wouldn’t mind seeing her in a sexy gown again. I mean, she’s gorgeous as hell and I’m bored of seeing her hiding her assets behind that boring white doctor’s coat.”
He smirks and he sits forward as I down the medication he got me and gulp down some water,hoping it helps.
“Right, and are you forgetting the fact that both of you jump at each other’s throats the moment you’re in the same room?”
I remind him.
He winks at me. “Who knows, she might succumb to how hot I look and decide to engage in some smoking hot angry sex. I kinda miss that…”
“I don’t want to know your bedroom antics. I don’t think she’ll agree, but I mean, if she does, then fine. I’ll be happy if Annalise gets some company, too.”
“What? So she doesn’t eat your head off for the full evening?”
I cast him a glare and he snickers.
“Jai, did you ever manage to get me an assessment of everyone who had come in and out of this pack for the last year?”
I ask as I bite into the sandwich.
His face becomes serious, and he shakes his head. “I’m still working on it… Seb, you’re asking for everyone who has come in and out of the city for a full year. That’s… that’s not an easy feat. I’vebeen on it for several weeks, and I’m not even half done, but I’ll get there. I know you have your reasons not to ask the IT team, but care to share why you want to know?”
He’s asked me several times, but I can’t bring myself to risk anything by telling him. Over one year ago, was the first time I received a message.
Until this day, I still remember what was written on the plain white card in bold black font.
YOUR WIFE TRULY IS PRETTY, ISN’T SHE?
I had brushed it aside as a prank and had commanded my men to find out where it came from, but nothing came up and I didn’t worry about it and soon forgot about it.
That was until a second one came two weeks later.
I WONDER HOW YOUR WIFE’S BLOOD WOULD LOOK RUNNING DOWN HER PRETTY LITTLE NECK?
That’s when things got darker and the beginning of my worries started.
“Sebastian?”
I look up to see Jai’s eyes filled with concern.
