"Miss Kira, please calm down, he's sorry, we're all so sorry, please let him go". The lady named Stella says while watching the silver blade I covered in wolfsbane press even harder on her mate's neck, I tried so hard to calm down earlier but he needs to be taught a lesson for barging into my home, destroying my properties and then proudly waiting for me on my couch like some kind of King, everyone knows wolves are weak against silver and wolfsbane. I won't spare him without some kind of punishment, so next time he'll remember, no one crosses Kira Black without begging for death. I remove the blade from his neck and watch blood flow from his visible wound, I replace the blade with my hands and grip much tighter, totally restricting his air flow.
How is this possible? How did she defeat my beta? My baby. Damian is twice her size, a trained warrior, and she moved faster than him, just who is this wolf-like human lady, I smile after hearing his mate words.
"How foolish, you should know it's not by size but by power". How did we get here? Well, it all started when my meeting was interrupted by the CEO of 'Thorn' corp. I purposely call it thorn because that's what it is to me. What do you do to a thorn that's stuck in your side? You remove, crush and then grind it, that's something I never thought I'd have to do again but no hunter complains when bait willingly walks into its trap. Crap, I'm getting too sentimental. What actually happened is.......
FLASHBACK
"He looks so nice" s**t!
Those words left my mouth before I could actually control it and he smirked, so annoying, but I didn't lie, he actually looked so nice then, his eyes, his hair, just wow. But how did he appear on my screen, where's Mr Jones and what did he want, these were the questions running through my mind while staring at the drool-worthy man before me.
"Who are you, how and why did you intercept my meeting?". I finally voiced out those words desperate to clear my confusion.
"My name is Valen Thorne, I'm the CEO of Thorne group, I'm sorry for rudely interrupting, I'd like to make you an offer for your materials, your company maxed purchase all the materials before we could and the next batch will not be available till next mon............
"Wait!! Stop, did you just say Thorne corp". I interrupted him before he could complete his sentence, I had to be sure I was not just hearing things, I know I'm still pissed because of what that company did, that might be why I heard "Thorne corp"
"It's actually Thorne group of companies, looks like you have heard of us, no surprise there since we're quite renowned in many industries, so name your price dear". Then he ended his sentence with a smile, how cocky. If I was angry before, now I'm enraged, I need to break something, how can someone be so shameless? Did he know or not, or was this an attempt to pour salt into my wounds, I took huge gulps of water and looked at the man once more to know if he's a past enemy I had offended, but no I couldn't recall any memory of me having any form of contact with this man.
"Let's negotiate and agree on a price, I'm sure my offer will be higher than any other option". He smiled again after completing his words, the balls on this man, my anger couldn't even be expressed in words, at the same time, I almost teared up but no, I would never give this new found enemy that satisfaction. My babies come crawling and then jump on me, I check the time and realised it was time for their cartoon, so I picked both of them up, and left, I didn't say a word to my enemy and just took them to their room, I turned on the TV and increased the volume to the highest to drown out the words of that CEO, that Alpha, that wolf. I heard his voice and how he kept calling after me. I'm clearly lost in my thoughts when I hear a loud growl and then a timid whimper, that frightened me a bit, it sounded so real, like a real wolf, then the whimpers increased, it sounded like an actual wolf was being tortured, it was coming from the wolf cartoon my babies were watching, how weird, I exit the room then shut the door. I sat back down where the 'Thorn's CEO was still clearly waiting for me, his expression was different but obviously I didn't care. I finally decided to address the issue.
"I'm not doing business with you, Black Corp wants absolutely nothing to do with your 'Thorn', we don't do business with people who use underhanded tactics to do business, we do business fairly because we're confident in our skills, we need not bribe nor intimidate like a bunch of hooligans, never ever contact me again, oh and don't you ever steal any project from my company again, this is your final and only warning, bye, I hope you have many terrible days". I ended the call with rage radiating in waves off me and also with the assurance that there would be no contact between me and him again, little did I know how wrong I was at the time.
I picked up my phone to video call my assistants in order to find out how he was able to change my meeting and to apologise to Mr Jones. Alexra picked up first while Camilla's phone was unreachable, how strange but then again they would clock out of work soon, so I pushed aside my unnecessary suspicions and decided to address the issue at hand first. I briefed Alexra on what happened and she was enraged just like me, it was assuring watching her calm her wolf down, her wolf also found it disrespectful.
"I'll send a fruit basket to Mr Jones and contact him to reschedule the meeting, I'll also call Thame and he'll figure out how they intercepted the meeting, I know you're angry but you'll just have to calm down, it's not like we can do anything to them".
"Actually, we can and I will, they deserve to be taught a lesson, tell Thame-Our tech guy, to get on it right now. I'll contact Hazel right now, she'll know what to do".
I ended the call then tried to contact Hazel- My witch bestie, but her number was out of coverage, nothing was just going the way I wanted that day, it was an extremely stressful day, I sigh and decide to leave an ordeal of what happened on a voice mail for her, then I ordered food and ended my day cuddling my babies sucking and embracing every form of comfort they gave to calm my raging mind.
