1 sat in my office, sipping my coffer.
er, the hinter taste barely registering as 1 stared at the stack of papers in front of me. The weight of the world felt heavier today, the air thick with tension. Marcel, my innst trusted advisor, had just finished briefing me on the latest information he’d uncovered
about Victor.
As I absorbed Marcel’s words, a sense of unease colled tightly in the pit of my stomach, Vicors name was like a poison, spreading its toxic influence through every aspect of my life, tainting everything it touched. And now, it seemed, he had a connection to Sapphire, the woman i warned morn than life self. The thought alone sent a shiver of dreal coursing through me
Marcel’s voice was low and serious, but I could sense the underlying tension, the way his word hung in the air like a storm cloud ready to burst. He knew, just as I did, that Victor was a wild card, a loose cannon who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. My heart raced as I braced myself for the implications of what he was about to say
“What do you mean, Victor was supposed to be Sapphire’s mate?” asked my veure tight with anger, each word laced with the fury bubbling
the surface
I didn’t know what had happened in her life before I met her but one thing I was sure of, she was any mate and nobody could claim her or say anything about it not even the tyran Victor
Marcel hesitated, his eyes darting nervously around the room as if the very walls could betray in. “It seems that Victor was present at Sapphire’s righteenth birthday celebration,” he said slowly, each word a dagger to my heart. “He was supposed to claim her as his mate, but something went
wrong.
A surge of rage ignited within me at the thought of Victor laying eyes on Sapphire, let alone trying to claim her as his mate My mured was flooded with violent images of Victor’s hands–on Sapphire, his lips on hers, and I had to fight so keep my temper in check. The thought twisted ing insides, a relentless clum of jealousy and protectiveness,
I took a deep breath, trying to calin myself down, but it was no use. The thought of Victor and Sapphire together was like a red flag to a bull, and all t wanted was to charge into battle. I stood up, pacing back and forth across the roden, my heart pounding in roy chest like a war drum. “How did he even find out about her.” I demanded, my voice rising with each word “And wurdid he hope to achieve by clamming her as his mate!”
Marcel shook his head, his expression grave. “I don’t know, Alpha,” he oxid, the uncertainty in his voice only fueling my anger. “Han Em working num
Gading out
I stopped pacing, turning in face Marcel the weight of any emotions spilling over. “I won’t let him take her from the.” Isaid, my voice low bat fierce. The thought of losing Sapphire was unbearable, a night more I couldn’t allow to become reality. Ineed to know everything about him connections, his motives. I won’t let him get close to her.”
Marcel nodded, understanding the urgency in my voice. Til dig deeper. We can’t let him get the upper hand. He’s dangerous, and if he’s involved with Sapphire, we need to act quickly.”
As I processed his words, a wave of fear washed over me. The idea of Victor lurking in the shadows, plotting against us, made my dan crawl. 1 thought of Sapphire’s laughter her warmth, the way the fir up a room with her presence. The thought of her bring in danger was unbearable. I clenched my fists, nails digging into my palms, grounding myself against the rising tide of panic
“What if he tries to approach her?” Lasked my voice barely above a whisper, the fear creeping in like a shef in the night. “What if he tries to manipulate her!”
Marcel met my gave his expression resolute Well protect her, Alpha We’ll make sure she’s safe. I’ll have eyes on her at all times.”
Trodded, grateful for his loyalty, but it didn’t quell the storm brewing imide me. I couldn’t shake the image of Victor’s smirk, the way he would revel in the chaos he could create. I felt a primal urge in protect what was mine, to shield Sapphire from the darkness that threatened to envelop her.
I took another deep breath, trying to steady my racing bean. “We need to confront this head–on” I said, determination surging through me. “No more hiding. I want to know who else is involved, and what alliances Victor has. We can’t let him gain any ground”
Marcel nodded, the fire of resolve agmating in his eyes. “Ill gather the information. Well pata plan in place.”
As I sank back into my chair, the adrenaline slowly ebbing, I felt the weight of my responsibilities pressing down on me. I couldn’t afford to show weakness, not now I had to be stronger for her than our child.
I knew she could handle herself but what I needed to know was that she was always okay all the time and calling her every time was going to me with her, that was when she called and asked that I send somebody to her, I didn’t hesitate to do that.
He was going to be giving me repons every thirty minutes that was enough for me now till I got to the bottom of this
I didn’t know the measures she was putting in place but what I knew was that she was going to be protected by me or one of my most trusted park
members, that was enough solace for me.
For now
I know I should be listening to Marcel but my thoughts keep whirling aroul was like once I heard that something bad seas about to happen to her everything becomes secondary in my mind.I didn’t know what that meant but I didn’t have the time to start dwelling on thoughts like that.
