Chapter 54: Check Bounced
Freya POV
Walker was standing, leaning against the railing of our cottage in the forests. It had been a few days since I had been with him. I had successfully made Drexel guilty about what he was sliding into. He could use Penelope as a breeder but he had to focus on his endgame, which was to conquer more packs. For my Walker
After I had a talk with him, I saw guilt written all over his face. I laughed at him on the inside and walked out confidently. That little human didn't know the control I exerted on Alpha Drexel
I sighed as I looked at Walker while he explained how he was going to invest in a new company that he had founded for me. The wolf made me go all bananas for him. I barely listened to him as my focus was on his chiseled torso. He was wearing denim shorts and sported a scrub that I loved when he rubbed it next to my pussy
"I will be needing an extra hundred thousand dollars for it, Freya," he said in the end
I curled a lock of my hair as my lips curled up
"And I have all that money for you. After all, what is Drexel for?"
He growled and came to sit between my thighs
I was wearing a sundress without a bra or
panties. We had gone for a short hike because our wolves wanted to run free
He placed his hands on my thighs and tingles of pleasure ran down my body. As he traced his fingers up, I threaded my fingers in his beautiful hair. "Do you have that kind of money on you right now?" he asked
"Of course, I do," I said, tipping my head up
"Anything for you darling," I purred
"How?" he sounded surprised
I leaned over to his face. When our lips were a few inches apart, I said, "Just before coming here, I asked him to give me a check of two hundred thousand dollars. And-"
"And?" Walker frowned
"And he gave it to me. Without asking me twice." I laughed. Drexel was such a bloody fool
"You are a smart wolf!" Walker said
I kissed him on his lips. "Only because of you, darling," I whispered. Then I leaned back on my chaise and lifted my leg to place it on his shoulder for him to see that I wasn't wearing anything down there. He growled when he saw my glistening fold and then latched onto them
An hour later, we were in the car, on our way to my bank. I had to cash the check for him
"T can't tell you how urgently I needed that money, Freya," said Walker as he intertwined his fingers with mine. "I was contemplating on asking for a loan from Nash Perez, but then I thought I'd ask you, first."
I jerked my head back with surprise. "How do you know Nash Perez?"
He chuckled. "Everyone knows that shark. He gives money on loans but charges a hefty interest. But the thing is that he gives it to you immediately."
I squeezed his hand as terror gripped me. I said, "That man is too dangerous. Don't go near him
Don't ask him for money. I am here to give you
as much as you want, okay?"
He chuckled. "Come on Freya. We are werewolves. He can't do a thing to us!"
My fear increased. "Just stay away from him, Walker," I said
He picked up my hand and kissed my knuckles
"Okay. Don't get your knickers twisted."
We reached the bank and I gave it to the officer to cash it. He looked at me and smiled. "How are you today, Miss Freya?"
"Iam good Norton!" I replied. "Can you please hurry this one?"
"Sure," he said. "Please take a seat while I get this done for you."
I joined Walker to sit on the couches that were in the lobby as Norton processed my check. This wasn't the first time I was cashing such a large amount, but he knew me pretty well
Half an hour later, Norton returned with the check. He had a worried expression on his face
"Miss Freya?"
"Yes?" I asked, feeling uncomfortable
"Lam sorry, but this check can't be cashed. It has bounced," he said in a low voice
Both Walker and I were... shocked. "What do you mean it has bounced?" I growled. How could a check of Drexel's account bounce? "The owner of this account 1s filthy rich. His account has several million dollars. What is two hundred thousand for him? There must be a mistake
Please go and find out again!"
Norton pursed his lips. "Miss Freya, I have double checked it, but-"
"Then triple check it!" I snapped. "This can't be!"
Norton gritted his teeth and turned to verify the check again. "I will be here in a moment."
"What is going on, babe?" asked Walker
I looked at him, my mind numb. "T don't know..." I breathed. "There must be a mistake
Drexel's checks have never bounced."
"Lam sure there is a mistake. Don't worry," Walker remarked. He kissed my knuckles and patted my hand. His gesture soothed me
Norton returned back with the check in his hand. "I am sorry, Miss Freya. There is no mistake. This check has bounced and now we have to inform the owner of the account." He gave a chaste glance to Walker and after keeping the check on the table in front of me, walked back to his station
I swallowed saliva down my throat as I stared at the check. I picked it up and came out of the
bank. Walker followed me with anger on his face. "I think I will go to Nash Perez now for money!"
"What? No!" I said in a hoarse voice, my mind still trying to process what just occurred
He stabbed his fingers in his hair. "Then what am I supposed to do?" he said, clenching his teeth. "I need the money so badly. I dream of a future with you but you are just so-" he looked away. "So shitty!"
I touched his arm as tears stung my eyes. "No Walker," I sniffled, feeling miserable. "Let me talk to Drexel. Okay?"
I dialed his number and
