I had just finished handling Eclipse Pack's business matters when a friend invited me out. I had barely sat down when Raelyn walked in with a young werewolf. She wore a black floral dress, her wavy hair casually draped behind her neck. Her cold, beautiful face under the bar's lighting made her look both stunning and enigmatic. Jaçe Lamford, sitting next to me, caught the direction of my gaze and teased. "Well, well. Is our Mr. Aiden finally falling for someone? Got your eye on her?" I shot him a look. The heir of Emberclaw Pack raised his glass and clinked it against mine. "She's gorgeous, no doubt. Want me to get her number for you? Wait a sec.. isn't that Jackson with her?" "Jackson?" I asked, puzzled. Jace nodded. "Yeah, that's him. The mysterious VP of Bluewater Corporation." I knew about Bluewater Corporation. It was a publicly traded company with serious clout, but very few people knew who was really behind it. For years, Jackson, the heir of Storme Pack, had been the one handling public affairs. Storme Pack wasn't small potatoes in the werewolf world either. The fact that Jackson would willingly serve as a VP in a company outside of his pack always struck me as odd. "But Aiden, come on. You're way better than Jackson. You could totally win her over," Jace joked. "You talk too much." I took a sip of my drink, my voice cold. My eyes drified back to Raelyn downstairs. I had to admit, she piqued my curiosity. A low-ranking Omega from some backwater pack, who'd only just arrived in Varken yesterday; how the hell did she know someone like Jackson, the heir to Storme Pack? "Aiden. I'm serious. Jackson's a total player. A woman that gorgeous? What a waste.. I kept quiet, sipping my drink as I noticed Jackson stepping away from the bar. A lot of eyes in the room had now turned to Kaelyn. Then I saw a pervert-looking Beta werewolf, drink in hand, swagger toward her. "Hey beautiful, how about a drink? Let's get to know each other, he said, not even bothering to hide his intent. "I'm not looking for new friends," Raelyn replied flatly, I found myself amused and stood up. The Beta's expression froze for a moment, then he forced a smile. "Come on, just one drink. I'll cover your tab for tonight. How about that?" nks," Raelyn said, not even glancing up. Embarrassed, the Beta raised his voice, his words laced with anger. "Bitch, acting all high and mighty. You Omegas come to dressed like that just to reel in some rich guy. I've got plenty of money. Name your price." Jace beside the lensed "Shut, Aiden, go play hero! Save the damsel?" 1 frowned, preparing to head downstairs. I wasn't interested in playing hero. I was only here because my father had ordered to make sure Karlyn was misticated. the But just as I stood something dramatic happened. The Beta's hand reached out toward Raelyn, and she smashed a bottle over his heart. The glass shattered and everyone froze Karlyn stared him down and said, word for word, "I don't want your money. How about your damn life!" 1 stopped in my tracks, genuinely intrigued by this arrogant and tiery Omega. A moment later, Jackson ran back out from the I returned to my seat and kept drinking. A mere Beta? Jackson could handle that. No need for me to step in. Raelyn's POV I was just about to let Freya out when Jackson came back. The fact that he was the heir of Storme Pack scared the werewolf half to death. He apologized, bolted, and vanished in seconds, clearly afraid for his life. Still, my mood had already been soured. I wasn't interested in staying any longer. After saying goodbye to Jackson, I left the bar. I called a car and waited on the curb, casually lighting a cigarette as I stared up at the sky. This place, my childhood home where I'd spent fifteen happy years, now held nothing but memories. Dad... are you doing okay up theret A black car pulled up in front of me. Thinking it was my ride, I put out my cigarette in the trash can and opened the door- only to see a man in a black suit seated in the back. His graceful, composed demeanor made me pause. I wasn't expecting to share a ride. "Sorry wrong car. Wait, why are you here?" That was when I recognized the man in the suit-Aiden- His gaze was intense as he looked at me. "Get in," he said, his deep voice rolling from inside the car. Thesitated, then slipn slipped inside and sat next to him. For some reason, bumping into Aiden made me a little nervous, Small world, I was just out with a friend. You too?" I asked casually, trying to make small talk. Aiden nodded faintly. I turned to look out the window. Why am I so on edge? But was Aiden also at that bar earlier! Has fas he already seru me, or did we just happen to run into each other outside Send Gifts Title: ReelTalk EP 43 - Recreating Iconic ReelShort Looks with Sarah Moliski, Sarah Noelle, and Maria Barseghian Author: CrushReel Genre: Romance Status: ongoing In the latest episode of ReelTalk, fashion takes center stage as host Sarah Moliski joins forces with stars Sarah Noelle and Maria Barseghian to tackle a captivating style challenge.
