“Selene?” Leah whispered with raised brows.Ivan nodded, still confused why Selene was calling him.“Yes, I am aware, guess you can't take a little joke anymore.”“What the hell do you want, Selene?”“No need to get testy. I just wanted to congratulate you on your nuptials.”“Well, I would say I appreciate your kind words, but I'd be lying. Good bye.”Ivan remarked with a voice so cold and monotonous, Leah was left speechless.“Wait, Please. Ivan.” Selene pleaded. “Look, things between us have clearly been stationed and I would like a chance to resolve it.”“I am not interested in whatever nonsense this is.”“Okay, but what about the meeting we were supposed to have a week ago. You've cancelled more than a few times already.”“I'll have my wife's secretary contact you.”Selene was quiet for a long while before she finally spoke. “Okay, thank you. I appreciate your help.”Ivan hung up almost immediately the words left her mouth.“What did she want?” Leah asked, her hands balled into fi

The doctor gestured towards the seats in front of her desk, offering them a warm smile.“Please, have a seat. So, I understand you're both interested in starting a family?”Leah nodded. “Yes.”“Wonderful. How long have you been married?”“Not very long,” Ivan answered, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. This place brought back toomany memories he was more than willing to forget about.The doctor smiled. “And have you both discussed this decision thoroughly?”Leah glanced at Ivan. “We have.”Ivan nodded, although he wasn't entirely sure what he was agreeing to. He'd do anything for Master Sinzu but he couldn't deny that he had reservations about having a literal child within the confines of a fake marriage.“Alright. Before we proceed, I'd like to ask a few questions about your medical history, then we'll run some preliminary tests to determine your reproductive health.”Leah nodded, listening carefully.“Have either of you had any previous fertility concerns?”“No,” Leah answered. “W

“Surely you can not be serious.” Mr Tony Mcran said, his eyes darting to others for support Leah smiled. “If you have a problem with Mr Mcran, I suggest you take it up with my Grandfather, you know the owner of the company.”The room was pregnant with a long silence that made Ivan extremely uncomfortable. No matter how strong and powerful he'd become, he still felt out of place.He still felt under serving.“This is propopostrous. The board has to inform of changes like this.”“Not necessarily. I suggest you read your contracts….”“The contract be damned. We are not accepting some unnamed man as our chairman.” Another executive said. This one was closer to Ivan in age. “Mr Smith…” Leah began but Ivan suddenly stepped forward like a man on a mission even though all he had was an idea on how to calm them down.Ivan straightened his shoulders and looked around the room.“Gentlemen, I understand that my appointment comes as a surprise. I also understand that some of you might have rese

Ivan sighed. Master Sinzu was definitely trying to drive him mad. The gift he'd given him did nothing to help answer his questions about the empty letter he'd gotten from him a couple of days ago.He knew accepting this life from grandpa Sinzu was going to be tough but he never imagined that he'd also have to constantly decipher these riddles too.He looked at the time, it was 1pm. Leah was having a conference call with her associates.In an hour, they'd be going to the company to introduce him as the new CEO of Dalton Enterprise. And after that, they'd see a realtor and then off to the family planning clinic.He stared at his reflection. Now that he had gotten his wolf, he was genuinely scared. He still hadn't talked to his mother about his wolf side. Too unsure of how to start, especially since she was still ill.Ivan placed the letter in the same drawer he had placed the other and left his room.As he left his room and went downstairs, he almost bumped into Leah.She looked breatht

Ivan had stopped counting the hours. The men had returned twice since their last conversation, each time with more questions about Dalton Enterprise and a mysterious document he supposedly possessed. He had told them repeatedly that he had no idea what they were talking about, but they seemed convinced he was lying. He was beginning to suspect that they didn't know much more than he did. The man with the scar had returned with another person, a woman this time, who introduced herself as Dr. Miller. She had a medical bag and an expression that suggested she was already tired of dealing with him. "How are you feeling?" she asked. Ivan stared at her. "Wonderful. I particularly enjoy being tied to furniture." She ignored his sarcasm and examined the puncture wound on his neck. "His pulse is elevated," she said to the scarred man. "Is that a problem?" "It could be a reaction to the sedative." Ivan watched them exchange a look. Sedative. So they had been giving him more than on

Leah had never understood why people waited until after their weddings to open their presents.By the time the last guest had left and the couple had returned home, she was usually too exhausted to care about what anyone had bought them. However, their wedding had been an unusual affair, and the gifts had been piling up in one of the sitting rooms since the reception.Now, several days later, she finally had the time to go through them.Ivan sat on the rug with his back against the sofa, looking considerably less enthusiastic than she was."You're not helping."He glanced at the pile of boxes beside her."I wasn't aware I had been employed.""You haven't. You're my husband. There's a difference.""Is there?""Yes. Husbands are expected to participate in activities like this."Ivan picked up a small box and turned it over."I thought husbands were expected to provide, protect and occasionally tolerate their wives.""You're doing a terrible job at the last one."He smiled faintly.Leah
