Dangerous Desires Novel

Chapter 26

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 contents did not make sense. They consisted of failed transactions, attacks, bombings, illness, poisoning, and failed Kidnapping. Pictures of Luke, Caleb and Alpha Aesop. Written confessions of strangers I had never heard of. It was all muddled up. One thing was sure. The moons had suffered too many tragedies for 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 the Woodclaw 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 to himself 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 they did. One thing was sure, the attacks and the intent to take over Woodclaw were from outside and not inside the pack. There wasn’t much Luke and I could do with this information, but one thing was sure, we needed 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 we had

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 turned towards Luke and greeted him. His face was familiar, I tried to figure out who it was when my husband called him by his name.

“Timothy Miles, sorry I missed our last meeting. My wife was in the hospital, and I had to be there with her,” 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 all that was history.

“Does she have to be here?” he asked Luke, referring to my presence. Luke leaned forward, rested his hands 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,” Luke said to him with an expressionless face.

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

“By now, you should have learned to stop trusting your sources for information, Mr Miles. Why should I give Caleb my company when my wife is more than capable. If this company fails, it will affect Tia and me Our stakes are the same, so she will treat the affairs just like I would. Don‘t get me wrong. Caleb will be more than capable, but I choose my wife,” he said, and I felt my heart swell with pride. Luke had a lot of 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 very uncomfortable about these questions, and it is unprofessional of you to bring up such discussions during a 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 the board, they said they would pay for it only for me to learn that Diamond corp will not be paying and they will 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 proper channels. 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 from him, and for the first time, It went through proper inspection.” Luke said and typed something on his computer.

“The shipment was rejected for several reasons. The quantity available does not correspond with the quantity written; it is less, yet we are being billed to pay for the quantity written” Luke said, and I noticed the 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 to always stick to the purchase order’s specifications so you won’t have an issue next time. We simply can‘t pay a premium price for cheap stuff. It was a unanimous decision by the board to cancel your contract with Diamond corp. I may own Seventy per cent of this company, but we have a board of directors that vote 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 if you have an issue with her, I suggest you iron it out with her and leave Diamond corp out of this. ” Luke said calmly.

“I advise you to watch your tone when addressing me, Timothy. The next time you disrespect me in that manner, I will require retribution from you.” Luke said calmly, and the man tried to calm himself down. His hands 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 trying to steal from Diamond corp like that was low; no wonder he wanted Caleb in that chair. Stacy was a real bitch. 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’s standards does not mean it wouldn’t meet another company’s standards. You might not make as much as 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 I felt 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 the authority 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 and defeated

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 ruined them. 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 for his buckle, and he stopped me. His wolf eyes flashed. I felt his anger and rage, but it did not scare me because 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. He tilted my butt up and reached under my skirt. He pulled my panties down to my knees and rolled up my skirt until my bare ass was exposed. I felt him stick his finger in my pussy, and I moaned. Then I felt his tongue on my clit with his hands holding my butt up. He was driving me crazy. I felt his rage dissipate and lust 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 my orgasm 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 knees were shaking, and my body was shaking. I felt my heartbeat in my chest. I was so high with pleasure that I shut my eyes tight. Luke made sure I came multiple times before he released into me, and he kept his cock 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 for Luke not to attack Timothy Miles because the man really got on his nerves when he entered the office and started asking stupid questions.

“I guess that is it for today.” Luke said, shutting down his computer. “Let‘s branch Emilianos for dinner and then go home,” he suggested, and I picked the files and stood up. My knees shook a bit from all the orgasms. 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 her blush 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 the customers.

“I guess the news about you becoming Alpha has spread. Funny enough, people weren’t this generous or 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 people around her. Everyone who cared to look could see through her. It was unfortunate that Alpha Aesop was stuck 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 parked across the street from the restaurant, and now it had taken every turn we took, which meant they were following 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 he was for himself. He increased the speed, and the car did the same; soon, they began to shoot at us. Everything novelbin

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