26 Can’t Risk it

Tia

I sat on the couch in Lukes’s office to go through the files his father had given him. Most of the contentsdid not make sense. They consisted of failed transactions, attacks, bombings, illness, poisoning, andfailed Kidnapping. Pictures of Luke, Caleb and Alpha Aesop. Written confessions of strangers I hadnever heard of. It was all muddled up. One thing was sure. The moons had suffered too many tragediesfor it to be coincidental. Alpha Aesop might be right about someone trying to wipe out his family. Still,only another Alpha will benefit from this because only an Alpha will have the ability to absorb theWoodclaw key mark from the Alpha heirs. If this is true, we really have to be on our guard. Elisabeth,Stacy and Monica were the least of our problems. What baffled me was why Alpha Aesop kept all this tohimself until now. I remembered the attack at the border by our arsenal. Although the place was empty,someone or some people must have believed we had weapons stored there to attack us the way theydid. One thing was sure, the attacks and the intent to take over Woodclaw were from outside and notinside the pack. There wasn’t much Luke and I could do with this information, but one thing was sure, weneeded to be on high alert.

I studied the files for a while, and time flew by fast. Soon it was two in the afternoon, which meant wehad

three more hours before we closed for the day.

A man walked into the office while I sat on the couch. He glanced my way and greeted me, then turnedtowards Luke and greeted him. His face was familiar, I tried to figure out who it was when my husbandcalled him by his name.

“Timothy Miles, sorry I missed our last meeting. My wife was in the hospital, and I had to be there withher,” Luke explained, and I knew he was Kimberly’s father. The man looked in my direction.

“I hope you are feeling better now, Luna Tia,” he said, addressing me by my future title.

“Thank you for the concern, Mr Miles. I am fine.” I said to him. Something was dubious about his gaze,but I figured he wasn‘t happy about the development. His daughter would have been Luna, but now allthat was history.

“Does she have to be here?” he asked Luke, referring to my presence. Luke leaned forward, rested hishands on the chair, and looked sternly at the man. My husband rarely smiled, and I liked that about him.His smiles were reserved for me.

“Matter of fact, yes. She has to be. She will be taking over Diamond corp when I become Alpha,” Lukesaid to him with an expressionless face.

“I thought Caleb would be taking over from you to help you run the company,” he asked, and Lukelaughed.

“By now, you should have learned to stop trusting your sources for information, Mr Miles. Why should Igive Caleb my company when my wife is more than capable. If this company fails, it will affect Tia andme Our stakes are the same, so she will treat the affairs just like I would. Don‘t get me wrong. Caleb willbe more than capable, but I choose my wife,” he said, and I felt my heart swell with pride. Luke had a lotof confidence in me.

The man nodded and sighed.

“So Caleb gets nothing then,” he asked, and I noticed Luke became a bit short.

“Why don’t you ask him yourself. Mr Miles. After all, he is going to be your son-in-law. I feel veryuncomfortable about these questions, and it is unprofessional of you to bring up such discussions duringa business meeting,” Luke warned him, and the man apologised.

“Let us get to it, please,” Luke said and adjusted himself on the seat.

“Diamond corp rejected the last shipment. I want to know why because in our last meeting with theboard, they said they would pay for it only for me to learn that Diamond corp will not be paying and theywill revoke our contract,” he complained, and Luke leaned back in his chair.

“Up till now, the documents for approval have always gone through my father and not the properchannels. Your friendship with my father and his mate caused

him to approve payments without inspection. The day the goods arrived was the day I took over fromhim, and for the first time, It went through proper inspection.” Luke said and typed something on hiscomputer.

“The shipment was rejected for several reasons. The quantity available does not correspond with thequantity written; it is less, yet we are being billed to pay for the quantity written” Luke said, and I noticedthe man became uncomfortable. From his body language, he knew.

“The quality requested isn’t the same, and the origin of the products isn’t trusted. I will advise you toalways stick to the purchase order’s specifications so you won’t have an issue next time. We simply can‘tpay a premium price for cheap stuff. It was a unanimous decision by the board to cancel your contractwith Diamond corp. I may own Seventy per cent of this company, but we have a board of directors thatvote and make decisions.” Luke explained to him, and the man got angry.

“It is not my fault, Luke. I put a lot of money into making those shipments. What am I supposed to do

about it?” he asked, sounding disrespectful.

“Supply what is in the purchase order, and I will consider it only because of our family’s relationship,”Luke said calmly, ignoring the man’s tone.

“How can I when your mother forces me to pay her ridiculous percentage all the time?” the man said.

“My mother is dead, Timothy. Stacy is Caleb’s mother, and she has no business with this company, so ifyou have an issue with her, I suggest you iron it out with her and leave Diamond corp out of this. ” Lukesaid calmly.

“I advise you to watch your tone when addressing me, Timothy. The next time you disrespect me in thatmanner, I will require retribution from you.” Luke said calmly, and the man tried to calm himself down. Hishands were shaking, and he seemed like he would have a heart attack.

“Is that all?” Luke asked him, and the man was speechless. He must have lost a lot of money, but tryingto steal from Diamond corp like that was low; no wonder he wanted Caleb in that chair. Stacy was a realbitch. She had just ruined this guy financially because of her greed.

“Mr Miles, you can sell the shipment to another company. Just because it does not meet Diamond corp’sstandards does not mean it wouldn’t meet another company’s standards. You might not make as muchas you intended, but you won’t lose everything.” I suggested calmly.

“What do you know about business, little girl?” he said to me with a snarky tone and all the sympathy Ifelt for him faded at that moment.

“Apologise to my wife, Timothy, or I will have you, reprimanded for that,” Luke said. I felt his rage and theauthority in his voice. Luke was a powerful alpha;

the man did not stand a chance. He apologised, and Luke told him to excuse us. Timothy left afraid anddefeated

The moment the guy left, Luke came to join me on the couch. He was tensed and angry.

“Stacy had been stealing from us all this while with shady deals like this,” He growled, shaking his hands.Luke was feeling pure rage. I could feel it too. I understood his point; her conduct would have ruinedthem. I needed him to calm down, So I moved closer to him and kissed him gently on the lips.

“Calm down, Luke; he is gone,” I assured him, but I figured the kiss would not be enough. I reached forhis buckle, and he stopped me. His wolf eyes flashed. I felt his anger and rage, but it did not scare mebecause it wasn’t for me.

Luke made me kneel on the couch; I knelt facing the backrest of the couch and my butt facing him. Hetilted my butt up and reached under my skirt. He pulled my panties down to my knees and rolled up myskirt until my bare ass was exposed. I felt him stick his finger in my pussy, and I moaned. Then I felt histongue on my clit with his hands holding my butt up. He was driving me crazy. I felt his rage dissipate andlust replace it in an instant. He was doing this for him, but I enjoyed every bit.

I came violently, and he rammed himself into me hard and fast. I could not keep up. I came, and myorgasm lingered before it subsided, but he didn’t stop,

He did not stop. He continued until I could take no more and I shattered all over him again. My kneeswere shaking, and my body was shaking. I felt my heartbeat in my chest. I was so high with pleasure thatI shut my eyes tight. Luke made sure I came multiple times before he released into me, and he kept hiscock in me a bit before pulling out. The intercom had rung a couple of times while we were at

I got off the couch and managed to adjust myself. I reached for my panties, but he took them from me,sniffed them and stuffed them in his pocket. All his anger was gone. I knew it took a lot of self–control forLuke not to attack Timothy Miles because the man really got on his nerves when he entered the officeand started asking stupid questions.

“I guess that is it for today.” Luke said, shutting down his computer. “Let‘s branch Emilianos for dinnerand then go home,” he suggested, and I picked the files and stood up. My knees shook a bit from all theorgasms. Luke kissed me on the lips, and I could taste myself on him.

“I love seeing you fully satisfied, Tia,” he said, and I smiled at him.

Gail looked at us funny when we walked out of the office. She knew, and I winked at her, making herblush slightly. The woman looked like a gentle soul. I wondered how she survived Stacy.

Luke decided he would drive, so we took a convertible.

The restaurant was exquisite, and people looked at us with the utmost respect; the service was good,and the atmosphere was relaxed. Some patreons came to greet us, and our meals were paid for by thecustomers.

“I guess the news about you becoming Alpha has spread. Funny enough, people weren’t this generousor kind to Caleb,” I said to Luke, and he nodded.

“Stacy,” was all he could say. It was sad to see how terribly the woman’s behaviour affected the peoplearound her. Everyone who cared to look could see through her. It was unfortunate that Alpha Aesop wasstuck with her for the rest of his life or her life, whichever goes first.

We exited the restaurant, and Luke began to drive when I noticed a grey car following us. It was parkedacross the street from the restaurant, and now it had taken every turn we took, which meant they werefollowing us.

“That grey car is following us,” I told Luke, and he looked at his rearview mirror and took a sudden turn;just as predicted, the car followed, and Luke stepped on the gas.

“Maybe we should stop and beat the shit out of them,” I told Luke, and he shook his head,

“They might have weapons, we can’t risk it,” he said, and I knew he was more worried for me than hewas for himself. He increased the speed, and the car did the same; soon, they began to shoot at us.Everything

happened so fast. One minute we were dodging. The next, Luke slammed the breaks, and a truck raninto us from my side. I heard faint voices, saw flashes of lights, and then everything went dark.
