Chapter 106 The Encounter
[Edward’s P.O.V] When I woke up in the morning, I told Rose to visit the pack’s medical center again to get some medication. Otherwise, I would ask Dr. Baldwin to check on her condition. I was worried because she told me that she vomited before watching the movie with the girls last night.
But Rose simply felt that I was making a mountain out of a molehill, saying that she must have vomited because she ate three cones of ice creams right after lunch yesterday.
“Fine, fine. But please don’t do something so stupid again.”
“It was my first time eating ice cream made by Mrs. Daisy. And they were so good! How could I not have plenty? Moreover, they were my favorite flavors – strawberry and vanilla. I must have more next time!”
She pouted and I took the opportunity to kiss her. Just touching her soft lips made me want to have sex. If it wasn’t for the important company meeting coming up, I would have started a war with her in the bedroom.
I said a few more things to her then we went downstairs for breakfast. By the time I was done, Patrick was already waiting for me at the castle gate. As soon as I got in the car, he excitedly shared his news with me.
“I’ve gotten the company’s logistics director to help me find a suitable apartment.”
“So you’ve found a suitable apartment?”
“Yes, Alpha. And it’s not far from Diana’s school. Although it’s in a pretty rough shape now, I think it has a pretty solid foundation and structure. Plus, there are four rooms.”
“Does Diana know?”
“Not yet. I want to surprise her. She can decorate and furnish it however she sees fit. I’ll check out the house later today. Once I’ve confirmed it with my own eyes, the deal is done.”
I congratulated my brother. Although it was rare for werewolves to buy property outside of the pack, Diana was a human and Patrick still didn’t know how her family would react to his identity. If her family came to visit, it would be better to receive them there than at the pack for now. Patrick and Diana had agreed that they would keep his identity a secret for now. If anyone asked, he worked for Lancaster Corporation.
We talked a little more about our other pack brothers as we made our way to the company. Once there, I quickly headed to and sat in the conference room. My secretary had put all the necessary information on my desk so that I was ready to attend all three big meetings today.
I never underestimated the amount of effort and dedication that were required of me to run such a big company. And even though the company was now completely on track, I had to make sure I kept up with it and kept things going. Slacking off was not an option.

By the time the meetings were over, it was already past 6 PM. I had to process quite a bit of information and make a few big and not-so-easy decisions today, so I was looking forward to going home and lying on my wife’s lap as soon as possible. She gave the best head massages. I called Patrick and told him it was time to pack up and go home. I was about to tell him that I would be waiting for him at the parking lot when I remembered what he had told me earlier in the car.
“I’ll drive myself back. Go see your lover.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it, Alpha. I can send you back first. Worse comes to worst, I can just go another day.”
“Stop arguing with me and just go already. I’ve heard enough and my ears are starting to hurt.”
“Alright then.”
I took the elevator down to the parking lot, started my car, and set off for home.
As I was driving, I started thinking about some of the recent issues that had come up. First was Simon. Ever since he was deprived of his job, Patrick had someone keep an eye on him. But there was nothing unusual about his behavior. He had never left the pack and his ‘mistress’, Sarah, had not come looking for him again. His daughter, Emily, did not seem to be looking for trouble with Rose or anyone else either. Even though Rose could still hear her angry thoughts, especially of leaving the tribe a few times, Emily seemed to be all talk and no walk for now.
As for the living dead that appeared in Southern Wilderness Pack, I had sent my guards, elites of the pack, to go check out the situation again. went once again. They had gone fully armed and prepared to face the living dead, but found nothing.
By now, I driving over the bridge as I made my way home. It wasn’t too far more until I reach the pack. Just as I was still occupied with my thoughts, my cell phone rang. I looked caller ID and saw that it was Rose. I was about to speak to her, but my car suddenly hit something though I didn’t see anything in front of me.
I yelled, hit the brakes, and turned the steering wheel to try to control my car, but it continued into the guardrail and started spinning out of control. I felt my car break through the guardrail and fall under the bridge. Champion tried to turn and save me as fast as he could, but we were too late. The last thing I remember was getting hit hard on the head and then I was in total darkness.
