—Don't play stupid, she's almost your personal assistant, so yes, we'll talk about her— Hunter's words gave no room for any doubt about who was dominating the situation. Harley's Wolf wanted to scold for that They shouldn't put up with any kind of order from someone who was inferior to them.
—Ah, Andrea— feigned disinterest in the older brother, lowering the papers and crossing his hands, looking at the smaller werewolf with careful attention —I didn't know you were interested in our employees?
Hunter gave her a smile that showed all his teeth as if it were a warning. Being the younger brother, he had gotten to know the man in front of him intimately, he knew the distinctive scent of his jealousy, he had witnessed it several times in the past when they had competitions together. Would he be interested in his girl? He considered that idea in silence for a moment, it disgusted him deeply just thinking about it, but he is not here to consider stupid things, he had to focus on what he really came for.
—Yes, especially her, because she's my moon— Harley took a deep breath, trying to keep his body in order as he listened.
—I didn't think it was her, when you spoke that day— Hunter could sense the hint of hostility in her voice, so he knew he hadn't imagined the smell of jealousy in the room —Does she know?
—You can smell how much she loves having me inside her, if you call her into your office— that was a clear warning about the power he had and what he would do to defend his girl. —You should congratulate me, brother! I'll stop being a problem for you, talk to dad about it and get away from the pack, I'll get my life on track.
—Dating a human? — Harley couldn't help how ironic that development was, because they both craved what they hadn't been able to get from their father.
—Well, Dad is willing to give me any concession as long as it quells my fighting urges— the two brothers knew it was a reference to the power struggle that should occur between two alphas for control of the pack.
—You were always a troublemaker, I guess it's a solution for everyone, good for you, brother, for getting your moon! —Those words were full of hypocrisy.
—Thank you, it's great to have the blessing of the next alpha of the pack, but I'm not here for that. As I told you I came for Andrea, you must know she was dating one of your employees Chris J. Anderson— Harley thought it was unbecoming of his brother to be so familiar with the details of someone else's intimate life, was it because he was in love?
—Yes, I know, I know him, he's a good employee.
—Not while, I had James check his record and he's pretty regular by company standards. The only reason he's still in his position is that he hasn't made any mistakes that show who he really is- a headache began to creep into Harley's mind.
—Did you have James investigate him? ARE YOU CRAZY?! His services are only for the pack. Who do you think you are to do that? —The smaller wolf showed how he had struck a chord —You can't lose your mind over a mere woman.
Hunter stood up.
—She is my moon and you can go to hell if you don't like her, but she is my partner— both werewolves showed their fangs before retreating with tension in the atmosphere. They didn't want the office to become a fighting field, because no device would survive, this was the reason why he had wanted to get away from that environment, the younger brother said to himself.
—Why did you do it?
—The guy had been writing her threatening messages. Yesterday, he broke into her house demanding her to come back in a violent way— Harley was surprised by his brother's words. He never thought things would get out of hand like that. After all, he had seen him sneaking glances at the girl, but he didn't think it could be anything greater than that.
—I understand that you're worried about a difficult ex, but you can't dispose of the pack's resources.
—Can't you? I'm still an alpha, the second son of the biggest pack in the country, and if it comes to money, you know we have for amounts, I'll pay the fees, but I won't let that rapist son of a b***h, get away with it— indignation had grown in Hunter's chest.
—What did you say?
—You contrasted a rapist, although I can't blame you, one of your employees is his childhood friend and nepotism did its thing to get him into the company— the CEO could not understand his words well.
—Rapist?
—Yes, the guy has a closed police file, because his last two girlfriends denounced him, but they dropped the charges shortly after, because his mother was buying the girls' silence, but f**k, I'm not going to let Andrea go through that, that's the reason why I'm here— he still couldn't believe his statements.
—Are you sure? These are very serious accusations.
—Harley picked up the phone to make the call, he knew his brother, he wouldn't lie about something like that, but that was the reason, why he had to hear that he had made that kind of mistake.
—Hello Mr. Alpha?
—Don't be a joker, Hunter is here making serious accusations about one of my employees Chris J. Anderson Are the rape allegations true? — there was a low curse.
—Yes sir, I can send the documents to your Tablet right now if you wish— there were no more questions, thought the Alpha, if he was willing to send the files, it was because he had nothing to hide.
—Do it— he hung up.
A few seconds later he opened the files, the transfers from his mother to the account of the girls who reported him seemed the sickest thing he could see, his stomach churned, he sat down hard in the presidential chair, he couldn't believe he had corruption within the company and hadn't noticed. He wondered how blind he would have had to be not to notice.
—I want you to make him suffer, firing him would be doing him a favor, it would justify unjustified dismissal and the state would give him an unemployment check— the murderous look of his younger brother told him that he would not overlook any ill-intentioned behavior that this guy had with Andrea, —Talk to the guys to keep an eye on him, if he tries to hurt her when she is not present, they will go to pay him a visit at his house.
That was the first time Harley was grateful that Hunter was with Andrea.
