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.
