Chapter 4
Abbygail's point of view:
I don’t know how, but Mike truly had magical fingers. His gay brain was something marvellous to see working when he got free reign. Apparently, he owned the clothing shop that was stationed in the back of the mansion, on the lowest floor, where he had clothes for every occasion, in every size. And together with accessorizing my outfit and putting on some mild make-up, I turned into a different woman.
“Those curves are to die for!” Mike glorified my body, which I couldn’t agree to.
“Yes, once pushed in the right clothes, she looks royal!” Linda chimed in, agreeing to Mike.
I didn’t look that bad, considering the dark red dress that fit me perfectly, the simple pearl necklace that adorned my neck, a little black purse hanging on my wrist and these shoes… Ohh!! I love them! Black velvet Manolo pumps! I always dreamt of having a pair but never dared to buy them.
I looked empowered, happy even, but this couldn’t last for long. I can’t really enjoy this, as the last time I had felt like this, something bad happened which broke me down and got me to spend four months inside my own house.
“I’m sorry Andrea, are you okay?” Linda suddenly asked me and I smiled back. She took a napkin and put it in the corner of my eyes, to take away the tears that were nearly coming out. “You look gorgeous honey, don’t let anyone ever break you again. You hear me?” She said and I looked confused. How did she know?
“How did you..”
“I know a broken woman when I see one. Especially one that is looking this gorgeous but still doesn’t want to feel happy. You already told me that you’ve been going through something, even though you haven’t told me what it was, but you don’t have to feel like that ever again, alright?” She said and hugged me fiercely.
“Don’t you dare cry! We are going out and dance our way through the night!” Mike said, wiping away some of his own tears. Drama Queen!
I chuckled at his attitude and was actually relieved to feel this much love and acceptance. Linda has pulled me out of a dark place, and even though I wasn’t there yet, I knew she would stand by my side in the outside world. Right where Harley couldn’t help me, as she was my underground partner already.
We went outside the room and after crossing a corner or two, I heard some other people talk.
“The pack needs a new security system, and I assigned you to do that job!” A deep, guttural, male voice boomed in the hall.
“Well, Abe declined our offer, so what do you want me to do now?” Another male voice, yet not as dominating as the first, replied, catching me off guard for a moment.
“Get someone else!” Deep guy shouted and stormed off, into our direction.
“Linda! You screwed up last time, go find me someone else as well!” He growled as soon as he saw her and practically pinned her to the wall.
Her eyes searched for release, afraid that she would get punished. She lowered her head in shame and couldn’t utter a word. Is this her boss? Is this the one she was afraid of getting fired from? I would have left him ages ago, if someone ever talked to me like that!
“Hey! Let her go!” I shouted, not thinking about what the consequences for me would become, but I didn’t care, I didn’t work or live here!
Mike shook his head, but didn’t dare to hold me back, probably just as afraid as Linda was. How the hell does this man get to live with all these people? Why is he treating them like this?
“Who the fuck are you!?” He shouted back, getting closer to me now.
“None of your concern! You should be ashamed for talking to her like that!” I shouted back, never wavering my gaze off of his deep brown eyes.
“Sir, she is the one that helped me.” Linda stuttered. “Maybe she can help with the security system?” She continued, but I wasn’t going to help him with anything!
I’m so glad that I didn’t agree to a meeting with this pompous ass! Even though his black hair and brown eyes were quite appealing! I’m just so glad that these people don’t know who I truly am and what I’m capable of! They should be frightened of me, not the other way around!
“Linda, whatever this asshole is doing to you all, you don’t deserve it.” I said and she gasped, putting her hands in front of her mouth.
“What did you just call me?” He growled and took a step forward again, towering over me and pinning me to the wall now.
I don’t know if it was this gorgeous dress I’m wearing or that I’m suddenly transformed into a snappy dragon, but in a flash, I had overcome with anger and felt like the overpowered woman I felt like before the whole incident, months ago, and kneed this bastard right in the balls!
He hunched over, grabbing his nutsack with both his hands and then I stepped aside. “You won’t get any help from me.” And I walked outside, over towards the parking lot, while I pulled out my phone from the cute black purse I had in my hands.
“Harley, get me a car.” I demanded of her.
It wouldn’t have mattered where I was as Harley has connections all over the world, but even so, I wondered how it was possible that only ten minutes later, a nice black car had arrived to take me home. But as I sat in the backseat I was just too angry to think about how this car came to find me so quickly.
“Why did you go to the client you didn’t want to meet?” Harley asked.
“I didn’t know it was him, until he began about a security system and his employee called out my name! Well, Abe’s I mean.”
“So, this was just freakishly coincidental?” She rose one brow.
“Yes! I told you I met this girl last week and apparently he’s her boss!”
“Do they know you’re Abe?” She asked then, but I shook my head.
I’m sure the boss man didn’t even know about me being in his house, as I probably overheard a conversation I wasn’t supposed to hear. He even said something strange like calling his mansion or people, a pack? What was that about?
Scott’s point of view:
“Why did you bring her here?!” I groaned towards Linda.
“Because she needed me and Mike. And you never told us to not bring in any humans.” Linda shivered.
I rubbed over my crotch, as it still hurt like hell! My Beta chuckled and was trying his best not to burst out laughing as he could have never seen it coming for his Alpha to be kicked in the nuts like this!
But there was something about this woman, something fierce and beautiful that made me want her bad! I don’t know what it was, but this feeling… this sensation… what the hell it may be, made me not send out my warriors to capture and kill her on the spot.
Instead, I had walked over to my office, ordered a bag of ice and started to think about matters that needed my attention more.
Our security system.
I wanted the best and this Abe guy was the only one that could come up with something specifically designed for us, to keep out the rogues. I needed something new and refined, something the werewolf community had never heard of. But he had declined my generous offer just because he never met his clients in real life, only by e-mail. Of course, I had known this before we even contacted his manager, but I had to try as he had to know what kind of people we were.
But now I had to come up with a new idea.
And she popped up in my mind again…
“What’s her name?” I asked Linda then.
My Beta chuckled when I shifted my seating position as my balls weren’t feeling comfortable, and I told him to shut up.
“Andrea, but I don’t know her last name or where she lives or anything.” She replied.
Andrea? Hm... she didn’t strike me as an Andrea, but I’ll get used to it. However, this information was slim, and I couldn’t let anyone search for her with only her first name.
“But I do have her phone number if you want it?” She asked with a small glint in her eyes.
Well, at least we got a way to contact her, good.
“Is she any good?” I then asked.
“Yes! It only took her a few minutes and she found all the data I had accidentally deleted, like your whole schedule, the contracts with surrounding packs, the budgets, the…-
She got cut off by my growl, as I got furious about her losing more than she had told me.
