Moon Goddess Wronged

Chapter 11. Questions

In the meeting, room Wrath takes his chair and Brice remains standing as everyone takes seats around the table.

Wrath gives Brice a look indicating to take a seat. Brice shakes his head and continues standing he not wanting to be too close to his mate it already being too painful as it is.

Wrath stands and everybody eyes him. The room silent only breathing can be heard.

"This is Brice our new President. He will be making some changes to the company for future profit. He has worked with some of the best companies in marketing. You will give him your undivided attention and do as he requests or resign immediately makes no difference to me." He says in his dismissive tone,

Some swallow hard and eyeball Brice curiously. A couple are even nervous tapping their pens or their feet. Wrath takes his seat so Brice turns the projector on.

"As you see from example number one these are our statistics as of right now. Very below average. We are not profiting in sales and are only losing money in producing or stocks." Brice turns to the table where everyone is looking at the statistics some even in udder shock.

"As you see it's not one area in jeopardy it's every single one of your areas," Brice states turning back to the projector and hitting the button changing the sheet to a future plan of action.

"This here is the future of our company. After we clean it up and polish all the kinks out, this will be the companies new revenue." Brice gives each and every one time to look over the future statistics. 

"We will start with Mr. Brown." Brice clicks the button changing to Mr. Brown's statistics.

"I have some very experted friends take a look into some of our financial problems. It wasn't hard to see we were being swindled for loads of money that wasn't even going towards our gain but completely opposite. This money was being taken and the company didn't profit a dime in the making." Mr. Brown's eyebrows furrowed as his foot tapped nervously. He was so sure of himself and his covering-ups that he was sure they couldn't pin anything on him in particular.

"I like how your marketing and stocks seem to be higher than the rest of the departments Mr. Brown. Still not proficient but not bad." Mr. Brown smiled feeling somewhat relieved. He released a breath sitting back relaxing now with some praise from Brice.

Brice clicks his button again and seconds later managers in each department gasp and have looks of shock adorn their faces.

"As everyone can clearly see over a period of years Mr. Brown has had money from the company going into an overseas account that was non-traceable back to him. My tech. guys cracked some major codes on this one but eventually, we found over years with a few grand at a time going missing into this account millions had been transferred." Mr. Brown stands shaking grabbing his briefcase preparing to leave.

"Sit down he's not finished." Wrath orders in his Alpha tone and the guy couldn't reject. Wrath was his Alpha. There weren't a lot of wolves in this meeting but he was a part of his own pack making this an ultimate betrayal.

"Besides Mr. Brown, once this meeting is adorned you will be escorted by the police off the premises to jail waiting outside these meeting doors," Brice states casually. Mr. Brown was sweating like a pig and fear was overtaking his body making him shake like a leaf.

"We further investigated this matter for I wanted the absolute reasons a long-time member and trusted associate of the company would stoop to such a degrading level." Brice clicks his button again bringing up more proof of Mr. Brown's past actions.

"After knowing who and where I had the why investigated by only the best as you can clearly see from here. They started with the phone records of his cell and landlines here and at home. Went through all the fax records and on a sneakier side went through the computers breaking into hard drives. A pattern started to appear even before the proof of the hacked computer." Everyone was shocked but still giving Brice their utmost attention in curiosity.

"Here you see Mr. Brown had opened a similar business as of our own company almost a replica. I'm sure once he had succeeded in bankrupting the whole company he would have fled. The statistics also state his company not doing terrible and being run by a close friend Mr. Brown has worked closely with over the last few years." Everyone was speechless not knowing if they should speak out or not. Mr. Brown had started hyperventilating in his chair for fear of the fraud he was about to be smacked with.

"Now that's been brought to all your attention this here is a personalized folder for each department and their future requirements. Like CEO Wrath explained earlier if you don't feel you are competent in your job please resign so I can replace you with someone with the skills and training to do so." Brice states passing each a folder. 

"If you have any questions you will know where to find me my number is also in the folder along with my email and fax I will assist you as much as I can. Meeting adjourned." Brice informs and walks back to the projector gathering all his files and papers placing them in his briefcase. 

Once the doors open the police immediately take Mr. Brown into custody. Brice still doesn't feel proud or even like this was a success. He knows until the companies bringing in profit and raising their worth he will not have anything to celebrate about.

"Will you accompany me for lunch?" Wrath inquires Brice without glancing his way. Brice felt like he was hit in the chest like he couldn't breathe when his mate asked him to join him for lunch. His hands shook.

"I'll have to take a rain check on that. My schedule is quite cramped as of right now. I have to get back to the pack lands and pick up Itsy from my mom's and check how the first day of training went and follow up on a lot of paperwork." Brice mumbled. 

"How do you do so much and take care of Itsy and her needs." Wrath questions leaning over the table with his hands his head down. He felt he probably had no right to even ask. A pang runs deep within him his wolf on edge with them being the only ones in a room alone again.

Brice feels his anger bubbling to a head. He walks to the opposite side of the meeting table in front of Wrath. His body still shook up the pull to Wrath strong but the pain in Brice's heart for Itsy stronger.

"What do you want to hear Wrath. How you were gonna reject me? Or how I wound up pregnant alone scared still in school not even knowing it was possible? What was I supposed to do Wrath? Would you have said abort her?" Brice inquired speaking through his clenched teeth breathing heavily the corner of his eyes stinging. Wrath's eyes widened after Brice said abortion his own wolf hating the sound of the word.

"I would never asked that of you. I don't even like hearing the word neither one of us knew Brice but you didn't want me to know either." Wrath spoke low almost a whisper. He could feel this was all a touchy subject for his mate and it saddened him.

"Now ya know right? What difference has it made? Do I bare your mark? Does Itsy know your her dad? Have you even F*CKING accepted fate?" Brice didn't wait around for an answer he already knew he strode to the door walking out not even closing it behind him. Every step he took further from Wrath only harder to take his wolf wanting him more than his own arm.

Wrath clutched his chest rubbing and hoping it would all go away. His with Brice's pain only making it intensify.

He wanted Brice to turn around come back and maybe them fix it but he knew he had f*cked up from the jump. He still couldn't offer Brice what he wanted when he himself wasn't even sure of what he wanted. He didn't know how the council would take to even hearing such things.

The moon Goddess just didn't pair male wolves together. He felt lost and betrayed by the Moon Goddess for she did this to them and now Itsy.
