Darian's outburst earned him two things, one of which was a slap on the back of his head. It was Mikhail.
"What the hell?!" His eyes were red as he turned to his friend. "She knows she's an Omega, you don't have to pronounce it for her, you stupid alpha." Mikhail scolded him.
The second implication his outburst caused was Isabella's shock which made the smile vanish from her lips."Oh sorry sorry baby, he is not that social, forgive his caveman behavior." Mikhail apologized on his behalf, attempting to laugh it off.
He doesn't know the story behind those two, but he could feel the tension between them."Um, do you two know each other?" He asked, looking from one person to the other.
"No." It was Isabella who answered, sitting well, almost like standing tall on her chair. In her company. At that moment, she knew she had the upper hand and she was going to make him pay for the hell he made her go through while she was still a member of the Shadow Lake pack.
"What brings you here, Mikhail?" In a professional tone, Isabella Baxton, CEO of the Braxton Cooperation, asked."Oh yeah, he is in much trouble, Bella, much worse than mine before we met.
" Mikhail's expression turned from playful to serious in seconds."Oh?" Confused, Isabella said. "Yes, so please we need him in one of those programs you have for packs, and the extra one too, you know where you investigate the problem.
"That is not a problem, but I kinda need him to speak for himself," Isabella said, pointing to a frozen Darian. He stood there like a rock, blinking as he took a good look at the Omega he used to molest and force to do his bidding. "Um, Darian, you have to speak…" Mikhail said tentatively, moving closer to his Alpha friend to give him a nudge.
"You know what? f**k it!" Darian walked out of the office without looking back. Tracy, who was working on her system, was surprised to see Mr. Night's friend walking out without him.
"Is everything okay sir?" She called out, but there was no response. Isabella smiled and looked at Mikhail. "I don't think he helped help."He does! I don't know what is wrong with him, I am very sorry Miss. Baxton, I'll talk to him and we will come later." Mikhail apologized seriously before running after Darian.
"Bye, Mr. Night." Tracy called after a running Mikhail."Bye Bye, Tracy darling." Mikhail replied without stopping."What's wrong with them?" She mused, before returning to her task. Then she remembered that her Boss was inside. She rushed in."Is everything okay, ma'am?"
"Just fine Tracy, everything is just fine," Isabella replied with a smile, shu-ing Tracy away with her hand. Darian didn't bother to wait for Mikhail, he walked straight into the forest nearby and shifted into his gigantic brown-colored wolf.
He raced to his pack, his mind all over the place. There was guilt, anger, suffocation, confusion. His emotion was heightened, but he managed to calm down before his pack house came into view.
"Peter, come to my office now." He sent through the mind link."Yes, Alpha." The beta replied, racing to his Alpha's office. Peter had initially thought he was coming back by night, so he planned to spend the day with his mate, Lily.
"You have to go?" Lily pouted, feeling dejected. She was looking forward to spending the day with her mate."I'm sorry Sweetheart, I'll make it up to you." Peter knew she loved it when he called her sweet names.
"Okay, stay safe." She hugged him. When he got to Darian's office, the alpha was pacing, looking like he had had a lot on his mind."Is everything okay, Alpha?" Peter asked, silently praying that whatever it was, was not his fault.
"What do you know of the Baxton cooperation?" Darian questioned, stopping his pace."I know they are very good in handling pack finances, they also produce a really good clothing line, it's sort of like an all-round business." Peter answered, stating everything he knew about Baxton.
"What about the CEO?" Darian asked again."Oh, Richard and Maria Baxton? They come from old money, I think. From what I heard, they are extremely wealthy and influential." Peter nodded, after remembering the information.
"Do you know of Isabella Baxton?" Darian was almost fuming, not getting the answer he wanted."I think she is their daughter. Is everything okay Alpha?"
Peter saw that Darian was acting strange and he didn't like it. It could lead to him having to do extra pack work."Look into her, I want every information on her, where she was born and raised, everything." Darian commanded.
"Now!" He shouted, prompting Peter into action."Oh yes Alpha." He bowed and rushed out of the office. Being a modern pack has its peak, Peter was able to gather information in no time.
"Alpha, I am back," Peter called out, almost out of breath. He took a deep breath, before reading off of the paper."She is 25 years old, she was adopted by Maria and Richard, we don't know when, but now that they are dead she is in charge of everything they own, their money, company, even influences." Peter stated, then stopped. This action made Darian get suspicious, he asked.
"What is it, Peter?" That was the first time he would call Peter by his given name. Beta didn't miss it and almost got emotional from it.
"It is a strange one sir." He replied, a frown adorning his face."Just tell me!" Darian commanded, shooting out of his chair to look Peter in the eyes.
"She has a child that no one has ever seen."A child?" Darain inquired in a whisper."Yes alpha, a child." Peter replied, whispering as well.
"How old is this child?" Darian questioned, after clearing his throat. He blinked once, Twice, Then, he swallowed in anticipation as Peter opened his mouth to respond. "The child is Six years old, Alpha." Two words rang in Darian's head."Oh no!"
