Chapter 5

1124 Words
Nathan’s POV I sit behind my desk as I await the day. I dread days like today. We have to hold job fairs every so often to hold up appearances in the human world. In reality I have more than enough employees. My business is known nation wide. Shadow Hound is the most sought out security business. My grandfather started up both the hospital and security business when he was 30 years old. My father grew them both to double their size and now we are running at the highest level in the country. Any supernatural being comes to us if they need extra security, are putting out a bounty, or just need private investigators. We do a few human gigs we feel are important too. Most of my assistants and receptionist are humans. Other than that my bounty hunters are mostly demons who have turned over to the good side. I have a few werewolf bounty’s. My private investigators are mostly werewolf’s with a few warlocks. My security teams is mostly Lycans. We have the best of everything. DJ walks in my office breaking me from my thoughts “you ready for today?” DJ always pokes fun at days like today. He knows I dread them. DJ is my third in command here. He’s a demon who had his kind turn against him and leave him for dead. My Gamma Blake found him and brought him into our pack, the Jade moon pack. From there we nursed him back to health and he swore a blood alliance with us. “You know I can’t stand this, humans wouldn’t stand a chance against our staff let alone the predators we protect against. To top it off I have to have dinner with Alpha Shawns daughter again.” DJ groans. Sarah’s a nice girl but she’s not Luna material. Alpha Shawn wants an alliance with my pack, having us behind him would make his pack almost as strong as the royals. We really don’t benefit from joining an alliance with them however, which is why I don’t take them seriously. The Jade moon pack is the second largest pack in the area, Willow moon being the largest of course. I have yet to find my mate at 28 years old. I’ve been so focused on building my pack and my businesses, I’ve never really cared about having a mate. I’ve had hook ups here and there, Sarah being the most recent but it’s not enjoyable anymore. My wolf, Kal, only wants our mate. “Blake just got through with the first interview. Human guy wanting to do bounty hunting.” I shake my head. “A lot of people think this is fun and games not understanding what the long term affects of this job really are.” I’ve watched both Blake and DJ struggle after some jobs. Blake had to take two months off not long ago because it was eating away at him. We don’t kill unless we have to and we have to have good cause. We do our best to capture our target and send them to trial, sometimes that doesn’t work out. “Blake is getting ready to call the next one in.” DJ says. I pull up the footage on my laptop of our conference room. I watch as the door opens and in walks the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Long brown wavy hair pulled up in a ponytail. Beautiful tanned skin. She’s tall, her build is very fit. You can tell this girl trains hard, but she’s got nice curves to her as well. Kal start pacing and growling with desire. “Get her!” “Kal you need to calm down we can’t just barge in there.” “Of course we can, that’s our mate!” He roars. This beautiful woman is our mate? I’ve never seen her before but she reminds me of someone. I just can’t place it. I watch as her and Blake take a seat. She’s examining the room. She’s cautious, skilled in her studies. The desire to take this woman right here and now is growing. “So Gia, are you from around here?” I hear Blake ask. “I live about an hour an a half away, in Willow moon territory.” “Willow Moon, you say? With the Royals?” The royals? It dawns on me what is being said. This beautiful woman belongs to the royals? “DJ, do you have her application?” I ask. DJ rummages through so papers and pulls out an application. Gia Shaw? Not only is she from the Willow Moon pack but she has the Shaw last name? “Do a full background check on her now” I demand out of DJ. 5 mins later there’s nothing to be found on this girl. There is no Gia Shaw on record. “Your training seems to be outstanding but have you ever worked in the field?” I hear Blake say pulling me back to the camera footage. “No, I haven’t. I would assume yourself and whoever is on the other side of the camera feed will be showing me the ropes?” She replies confidently. DJ and look at each other. I mind link Blake, “get in here now.” Blake enters a moment later as I’m pacing in my office. He walks in and is immediately on guard. “What is it? What’s going on?” “That girl is there, there is no record on her. Who is she really? Is she a threat?”something isn’t adding up. Surely the royals aren’t sending a spy in here, are they? “I’m not sure but she really knows her stuff, have you checked her resume?” DJ hands me a copy and I must admit, this girl has the knowledge and training to back her up. “She had a amulet on completely disguising her appearance when she first came in. I don’t think she wants people to know she’s here.” An amulet? Why would she be in disguise? “Let’s go In there, I’d like to talk to her myself” Kal howls in delight but I push him back. I don’t trust this situation. A girl with no records, it seems appeared out of thin air just drops in my office and is my mate? It doesn’t make sense. Blake and DJ enter the room. As soon as the door opens her scent over powers me. I feel myself getting hard instantly. She smells of fresh rain with a mix of roses. Its intoxicating. I walk in the room and Kal roars in my head “MATE!”
