His sharp features and piercing eyes marked him as a formidable werewolf, undoubtedly a fitting candidate for a future mate.
"Emma," my father announced, "meet Jude, the third son of the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack. I believe you two have much to discuss." Father said giving me a look that spoke, mess this up and I won't forgive you.
I approached Jude, trying to hide my reluctance behind a charming smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Jude."
He nodded, acknowledging the formalities. "Likewise, Emma."
As we exchanged pleasantries, I couldn't shake the feeling that our connection was destined to be more than just a courteous meeting. My father's eyes bore into mine, silently urging me to make a favorable impression.

The Unpredicted Ascendance Of Ashton Pearce HER GAMBIT
Rebecca strolled confidently right into Myles Jameson’s office, the click of her heels were muffled by the expensive as shit, plush carpet beneath her feet. She rolled her eyes, once again reminded of what a rich ass punk Jameson was. The door swung shut behind her with a soft thud when she entered, and Myles who was seated behind his polished mahogany desk could barely look up from the papers in front of him. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the table as if he already knew what kind of storm was about to crash into his otherwise organized day. Why was she in his office? He wondered. He thought she said she was done with him. "Rebecca," he said tersely as he glanced at her. "I believe we've discussed knocking." He reminded her. Rebecca let out an eye roll and her lips curled into a smile, a hint of amusement playing on her face as she sat down without waiting for an invitation to do so.

It had been a while since she last met with the group and she wanted her come back to look grand. She was their main character after all. "Ready for a good time?" Myles asked her as he stepped beside her and adjusted the collar of his jacket.

He hadn’t said much, but she could see the gears turning in that head of his. He hadn’t refused her offer, and that’s all she needed for now. No response was infact a response and that response definitely was a no. Rebecca gave him a coy smile

He chuckled under his breath. His sister had always been the hard goer and he had always been the more easy going, easy life kind of dude. “I was wondering when you two would show up,” he said, his tone was light but with an undercurrent of seriousness. “We need to talk.” he informed them and he pushed off the car and strolled towards them with an air of cocky nonchalance.
