Chapter 2: BECAUSE I CAN
"Rogue? All I see is a candy that needs to be bitten into." I whispered to Zeeb.
I took a step towards him, but Zeeb blocked my way.
"Lucian, stop." He seethed at me.
"Move away Zeeb before I lose my temper," I growled and sidestepped, leaving him standing at the center of the room, agape.
I strode toward the man and stood staring up at him. He seemed surprised to see me as his eyes widened in annoyance and Elder Zaya, who stood next to him, beamed. There was pin-drop silence in the room and I did not give a fucking care about it.
"CEO Lucian, thank you for your support for the past years. I am glad to see you since you rarely attend these events. "She spoke as her eyes darted between me and the man.
"Elder Zaya, it is always a pleasure to see you. Aren’t you going to introduce me?" I stated as my eyes ran around his facial features.
"I see you have not met Conri Dolf," she whispered. "This is Lucian Freki, the CEO of Due Corporation."
I stretched my hand in greeting and the large growl from Alpha Lobo made elder Zaya take a step back, cowering in fear.
"Lucian," I heard Zeeb whisper behind me. "You said you had a call in an hour and needed to leave," he interjected.
Conri Dolf’s eyes sparked with mischief as he stared at me in amusement.
