Chapter 137
Sapphire POV
I was lost in thought, staring out the window of the park house, when my phone rang. Lanswered in absently, expecting it to be Aragon or Marcel checking in on me. But instead, it was Clara
“Sapphire. I need to talk to you about the clients we signed before you left the city,” she said, her words spilling out in a rush.
I felt a surge of tension at her words, What was wrong? Esat up straight, my heart beginning to pound in my chest.
“What about them?” I asked, trying to keep my sone neutral. But inside, I was panicking. What had happened! Had we lost the clients?
“They’re getting cold feet.” Clara said. “They’re saying that they won’t do business with us unless you’re there in oversee the project.”
Ifch a wave of frustration wash over me. Why did they need me to oversee the project? Couldn’t Clara handle it? I trusted Clara with my life, and I knew she was more than capable of handling the project.
“What did you tell them?” I asked, trying to keep my cool
“Trold them that you’re unavailable right now, but they’re not badging,” Clara said. “They said that they want to work with you specifically and that they’re willing to wait until you’re available.”
Tighed, rubbing my temples. This was not what I needed right now. Victor was still not there, watching and waiting, and I was tuck in the middle of Janiness crisis. I felt like I was being pulled in two different directions, and I didn’t know which way to turn.
As I sat there, trying to think of a solution. Aragon walked into the rooan. He must have sensed my distress, because be immedurely came over to me his eyes filled with concem.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, shring down beside me on the couch. His presence was calming, and I felt my anxiety beam to eaje.
I took a deep breath, trying to explain the situation to him. “It’s my company.” I said “We landed a big het before I left the city, but now they’re saying they won’t do business with us unless I’m there to oversee the project.”
Aragon’s expression turned thoughtful, his eyes narrowing as he considered my dilemma. What do you want to do?” he asked
Thesitated, unsure of how to answer. Part of me wanted to go back to the city, to take care of my company and ensure its success. But another part of me was scared to leave the pack house, to leave Aragon’s protection I felt safe with him, and I didn’t want to give that up
Aragon seemed to seme my uncertainty, because he put a land on my kner, his touch warm and comforting. “Well figure it out,” he said. “Together”
I smiled, feeling a seme of gratitude towards him. With Aragon by my side. I knew that I could fare anything Even Victor
But as we sat there, trying to come up with a plan, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Victor was still out there, watching and waning. And I knew that i couldn’t let my guard doim not even for a momem
“What Victor follows me to the city? Lasked Aragon. The thought on
sent a shiver down my
Argon’s expression turned grim, his jaw clenched in determination. Ell come with you,” he and “Tli make sure you’re safe.
I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. With Aragon by my side, I knew that I could face anything. Even Victor
But the fear stall lingered will graced at my mides What if Victor was more powerful than we thought? What if he could hun Angon or the rest of the park!
I pushed the thoughts aside, trying to focus on the present moment. I had to make a decision, and I had to make it now. Was I going to go back to the city, or was I going to stay at the pack houset
I looked at Aragon, and I knew that I couldn’t make this decision without him. He was my mate, my partner, and my protection. And I knew that together, we could face anything.
As I sat there, weighing my options, I couldn’t help but think about how much my life had changed in the past few weeks. I had met Aragon, and my whole world had been turned upside down. Thad discovered that I was his mate and that I was part of a world that I never knew existed.
And now. I was faced with a decision that could change everything. Was I going to go back to my old life, or was I going to stay with Aragon and see where this new life would take me! I thought about all the things Thad leamed since inrering Aragon, all the things I had discovered about myself and the world of shifters.
I thought about the way Aragon made me feel, the way he looked at me with such love and adoration in his eyes. I thought about the way he protected me, the way he put himself in harm’s way to keep me safe.
And I knew that couldn’t give that up. I couldn’t give up the feeling of being loved and protected, of being pan of something bigger than myself. But at the same time, I couldn’t ignore the fact that my company needed me. I had worked hard to build it up to make it successful, and I couldn’t juu abandon it now,
I thought about all the late nights I had spent working, and all the sacrifices I had made to get my company off the ground. I thought about all the people who depended on me, all the employees who counted on me to provide for them
And I knew that tenuldn’t let them down. I couldn’t let my company fail, not now, not when it was finally starting to take off.
1 thought about the sense of accomplishment I felt when I saw my company’s name in the news and when I saw my employees thriving and sutreding. I thought about the pride I felt when I walked into the office, knowing that I had built something from the ground up
