His Luna

“Fuck,”

I muttered after turning off my alarm, it’s freaking five o’clock in the morning, and I have to wake up. This was my first day as a corporate employee.

After I graduated, I came looking out for work and got accepted to a private school, where I teach elementary students. Still, after two years of working there, I got tired, not of teaching but of the school system, and I think education in that school is really not for me, although I love kids and teaching them.

I feel bad that I have to leave them, but I chose where I will grow, to experience something else, and luckily, I got accepted by a great and big company, I know soon, they will make some choices and pick the right one like what I did now, but let me do it for myself.

I stood up and made my bed since I took a bath last night; all I have to do now is to wash my hair, it’s freaking freezer, and I don’t think, even with a heater, that I will be able to stand the icy water, nope.

I wore the pair of suits I bought yesterday after I received the call that I got the job, “Nice, it suits me,” I said as I was looking in the mirror, “Time to go, Jane, but remember, you are beautiful, you are loved, and you cherish,” I said, this is my daily routine, every morning.

I arrived at the building, forty minutes before the working hours started, enough for me to tour myself; there were few people around the hall, some of them were having breakfast alone, some were with colleagues, and some of them started working.

I also greeted some of the utility employees; I then got back to my table and started to look around read files, trying to cope with what the last manager had been doing before he left, and I saw nothing like the whole desk was cleaned up, and I have to start from scratches.

I opened the computer and saw some files, but it ain’t got anything on it, although it has dates and months as the file name, it’s empty, what the hell is this?

“Good morning; you must be Ms. Vera?” I instantly stood up from sitting when I heard someone talk behind me.

“Yes,” I said and gave him a slight nod, he seemed familiar, “I’m Julian, Mr. Black’s secretary, this is your first day, so I must teach you the basic information you have to keep in your mind,” he sounded and looked very strict like he never smiled the rest of his stay in the earth, “I believed the HR explained the salary, rules, overtime, occasional events, and others before you signed a contract, so I only have some few things to say,”

“Yes, sir,” I answered instead, “I’m listening,”

“The former manager was kicked out from the company after stealing money that’s worth one hundred million,” I can’t help but gasp; that’s a large sum of money! “And for some reason, he deleted all the files, brought all the necessary papers we actually needed, as his way of petty revenge,”

I looked around the table; that’s why it feels like this desk was cleaned up or something; it really does, that man really does.

“So, I will help you with that; for now, you can help yourself, and scan through this, give me the output needed,” Julian said and handed me a thick folder containing the files he wanted me to do, “I’m not in a hurry, so you can give that to me, by tomorrow morning, that’s all. Have a good day,”

I didn’t have the chance to talk, the heck?

I looked at the papers he handed me, crap, the first day, and I think I have to do overtime.

Hours had passed before I could make half of the papers in front of me; I couldn’t even talk much with my new co-workers; I was too busy doing this for the first day of my job.

“Ms. Vera, you coming with us?” Anika approached me; she’s one of the juniors in this department, she’s the first to approach me earlier this morning, then one followed by one, then again, I didn’t have to introduce myself, since Julian announced before I came this morning.

“I’m finishing this up, you go ahead, but on your way,” I grabbed my bag and handed Anika a five hundred bill, “Can you be my angel and grab me some iced coffee and a sandwich?”

Anika nodded, “Of course, then we will go ahead,”

I smiled and resumed my work, it’s not easy, but it’s fun doing this, rather than doing lesson plans, games, checking exams, quizzes, attending faculty meetings, and so on. Well, like I said, I love teaching kids, but nah, I wanted to try new things other than teaching.

“Mr. President!”

“Ah, fuck!” I almost shouted, who wouldn’t? Liberty, the girl in front of me, suddenly stood up and shouted, along with the other employees, so I stood up and looked where they were looking.

A man wearing a three-piece suit is standing at the department entrance, oh, I see, he is our president, I wonder if he’s k-I halted, my heart immediately dropped when I discovered who the hell is my boss.

The man from the coffee shop last week!

He looked at me, and I swear, I saw how he hid his smirk with that devil look face, “You must be the new financial manager,” he said in his monotone voice, “I want to personally welcome you, here to my company, welcome, Ms. Vera, I’m Zachary Black, the owner.”

I tried my best not to roll my eyes, “Thank you, sir,”

“Well, in my company, I have several rules that the HR might or might not mention, and one of them is to think before you act,” he looked at me, “Am I right, Ms. Everleigh?”

I gave him my most fake smile, “Of course, yes, sir,”

“That’s what I thought, so, I’m afraid I have to give you this,” he said; Julian handed me another thick set of papers, “Consider this as my warm welcome, will that be fine with you?” he said, trying to hide his victorious smirk.

“Of course, I would be glad, the fact that you personally handed me this one; I do think these papers were so important to you,”

“Yup, so be sure to give me that tomorrow morning,” he said before storming out of the department; everyone was looking at me, worried about what will happen, I just gave them a causal smile, before sitting on my chair again, I gave Zachary devil my deadliest look, “You asshole,”

I was a bit shocked when he suddenly stopped and took back his glance at me; I just smiled and nodded at him.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

That devil!

ZACHARY BLACK

“Where is my father?” I asked Areito the moment I stepped out of my car, “Did you tell him that I’m here?”

Areito chuckled, “I don’t have to tell your father that you arrived; all he has to do was to smell you from afar, my lord,”

“You still don’t know how to ride my jokes; I’ll go to dad then,” I saw my father, reading in his private room; I’m visiting him once a week, just to know what he’s doing. “Hey, Dad.” He grabbed the apple on the side table and started to eat it, yet his thirst and hunger couldn’t be gone with just a piece of shitty apple.

“Son,” Daniel called him, “How was your mission?”

“No updates, for now, Dad, but I’m doing everything I can to find her,”

Dad stood up and went to his coffee table; he made two cups for the both of us, “Son, you have to hurry up; time is ticking for you,”

I sighed heavily, I have been looking for my mate for quite some time, but there is no trace of her. My family has been living in the world for seven hundred years, yet, there is no trace of her, “I’m trying, Dad.”

“I can’t let you lose all your power; I promised to your mother before she died that I would take good care of you, your power, your ability as vampire and werewolf will surely be gone after the next full moon, and if that happen, other races who loathed us will kill you, you will the easiest target by that,”

“What do I have to struggle with this much? I mean, why me, right? There are many other half-blooded other than me, so why though,” I asked frustrate, “Why does it have to be me?”

“You’ve been asking that for the longest time, but you know that I can’t answer that, maybe, for the reason that our family is paying for a great debt our ancestor made,”

“That’s bullshit, Dad, but how can you explain that in able for me to gain my full potential and capacity, I have to kill her, without killing her with my own hands, who the fuck will offer their lives just because they were your mates? Mates are supposed to grow together and build their own families,”

I don’t know, son, but for now, all you can do is to look for her before the second full moon,”

“But Dad, what if I’ll just train myself? I’m not saying that I wanted to become a human; it’s just, a what-if,”

Dad’s face turned serious, “Zachary, there is no win-win situation with that; if you can find her and convince her to offer her life to you, then you will have the means to revive her, but if you fail to do so, either you will die or she will, there is no end game with what you were thinking,”

“Damn it, where the fuck is she hiding?”

Dad chuckled, “Go, find her,”
