Rick took a slight bow and walked away hurriedly. His muscles rippling through his body hugging shirt.
"What was that about?". she asked as Rick was out of earshot.
"And don't tell me nothing because I won't buy it. Not this time." she continued.
Jim moved closer and cupped her face very tenderly, looking deep into her green eyes. His wolf purred softly.
"It's just a business meeting. Alpha stuff and the rest." he said calmly.
"How do I know you aren't lying?" she asked suspiciously
Jim smiled and scoffed at the same time. Rose was about to talk, bit was interrupted by a quick kiss on the lips delivered by Jim.
It seemed like a second, but their lips met again in a long, passionate embrace. Their tongues gliding.
As they kissed, Jim grabbed Rose by the waist and pulled her closer. While her arms were rested perfectly on his broad shoulders.
Rose was already aroused, but Jim pulled away slowly. He could smell and sense her arousal.
Jim then said slowly and seductively,
"I promise that I will return and continue this later."
With that, he gave her a weak smile and walked out.
...
Jim walked into his office and saw a beautifully structured lady.
"Isabel." he whispered under his breath.
Isabel smiled, but it was visibly forced as the smile displayed more of anger then pleasure.
"What brings you by after so many years?" Jim asked as he sat down on his swivel chair, resting his elbows on the arm rests.
"First, it's only been two years. Second, you know exactly what brings me here so don't play dumb." she said a bit menacingly.
Jim chuckled slightly. He looked clearly amused, as though he even wanted to laugh.
"That's I like you, Isabel." he said and continued in a dangerous voice, "Your son is what is keeping me from ripping you apart, limb from limb."
Isabel looked startled but regained immediate composure and said softly,
"I think you mean our son, Jim. Reginald is our son."
Jim nodded solemly, resting his head on his hand.
"That's my regret." Jim said bitterly.
Isabel looked hurt. Very hurt.
"Why?" she inquired.
"Because you are the mother of Reginald." he said, glaring at her.
Isabel felt tears well up in her eyes. She was in love with Jim and the hurtful things he said only made her feel awful inside.
"I'll... I'll leave." she said depressed and left the room.
Immediately she left, she sobbed quietly, yet bitterly. She walked to the entrance of the pack house, crying silently. Rose saw her and ran to her in concern.
"Don't touch me!" Isabel snapped.
Rose pulled away. Still caring, she asked,
"What's wrong? What..." she was cut short.
"This is all your fault. You took him away from me."
Rose looked more and more perplexed by the second.
"What are you talking about? Jim?"
Isabel nodded and got on her knees, sobbing profusely.
Rose winced a bit, feeling uncomfortable, yet sorry for her. Either way, she crouched beside Isabel and wiped away her tears.
"Talk to me." Rose said calmly.
"Jim and I used to be dating. Although he wasn't a king at the time."
Rose nodded. Isabel continued,
"I was actually his mate. His true mate."
Rose gasped softly and stroked Isabel's back gently.
"Then what happened?" Rose inquired curiously.
"We...we slept together and I got pregnant."
Rose stood up abruptly, staring down at Isabel in disbelief.
"What?!" Rose shouted angrily.
Isabel sniffed and continued,
"Our son's name is Reginald. He is five years old. He is the supposed heir to the throne."
Rose's eyes became teary and she ran away from Isabel as quickly as possible. Her brain felt fuzzy. She was shivering with pent up emotions.
In an emotional haze, Rose bumped into Jim and he held her fast.
"Woah, there. You shouldn't be running around like that. You could get hurt." Rose ignored and ran away.
Jim scratched his head, feeling confused.
Hurriedly, Rose packed her bags. She felt terrible at everything. Secretly, she left the pack house and found her way back to her original house.
She was about to knock, but remembered that her father might be home, so she decided to stay at a friend's house.
"Hey, girl." Natalie said.
Rose nodded and entered the house.
"What's up with you, girl?" Natalie asked, concerned.
Rose shook her head dejectedly. She couldn't expose the werewolf secret. Even to her best and only friend that she met in middle school.
Of course, Natalie was older. A year older that Rose.
....
For weeks, Jim has been on edge. Looking for Rose got him in a state of constant anger as he kept snapping at everybody.
Tracking her seemed impossible to do.
Meanwhile,
"Rose, are you interested in a job opportunity?" Natalie asked, while applying make up.
Rose's eyes lit up excitedly.
"Hell yes, I am."
Natalie nodded and took Rose to a strip club.
"What are we doing here, Natalie?" Rose asked as a frown crept in.
Natalie smiled innocently.
"Welcome to my work place."
Rose glared at her with an incredibly judging expression.
"You are a stripper?" she asked.
Natalie nodded, unashamed and told her to join. Rose outrightly refused. After much persuasion, Rose reluctantly agreed.
On her first night, she immediately regretted her decision. She was made to wear a black lingerie and dark, emo make up. Her hair died black and done in a tight ponytail.
"You look fabulous, girl." Natalie chipped cheerfully, equally dressed in an exposing outfit.
Rose scoffed. She did not like feeling exposed like that.
"I don't like this, Natalie."
"Oh. Is someone getting cold feet? It happens to the most of us."
"It's not about cold feet, Natalie. This feels wrong. It goes against my moral principles."
Natalie shook her head, sighing.
"Look, Rose. You need the money for your upkeep. This is a city where this type of job pays more than anything."
Natalie rubbed her temples, saying,
"It's not like I asked you to sleep with men for money, Rose."
Natalie always had a strong influence over Rose. She was the dominating one in the friendship and Rose was just to vulnerable and trusting with her.
Rose followed her to the stage and looked at the audience of men of all ages.
A sensual song began to play and Rose glanced at the other strippers who danced seductively.
Rose did the same and all attention was on her. This was because her hips and behind were very full. Her boobs were also as big.
The men eyed her hungrily. All of them filled with lust and longing.
Rose felt uncomfortable and continued dancing, nevertheless.
She backed the men and shook her curvy hips. The men on edge as they watched her with a predatory stare.
Rose felt a pang of heavy emotion overcome her. Abruptly, she turned around and saw Jim seated at the back of the audience, staring at her with an expressionless face.
