CEO's Runaway Mate and Her Cubs
Roxy found Lara in the hallway. The woman was sitting there, hiding her tears and pondering about what to do.
She noticed her nervousness, and she sighed in her heart. She knew such a day would come. Sooner or later, someone would have noticed how Lara smelt like Nate. And the Alpha wasn't doing anything to prevent it.
The woman could guess he went to her during the Black Moon. In such a delicate phase, a wolf can't fight against their instinct. It's a night when every problem is more troubling, and every emotion is stronger than usual.
Attraction and regret both are amplified. Those with a mate would look for their other half. How many arguments between Roxy and Bass were solved during a Black Moon?
There was no way Alpha Nate could stay far from Lara. Not after he learnt where she was.
«What happened?» Roxy inquired, sitting next to the woman.
«I came here to sign my resignation,» she sighed.
«Why?»
«I can't work here, Roxy. I am a human, and you people are not. It's the wrong place for me... And I don't want my kids to see me getting insulted.»
«Who insulted you?»
«A girl in the secretarial department. Well, she told the truth.»
«What did she say?» Roxy continued, pressing for an answer.
Her tone stayed neutral for the whole conversation, turning kind when she felt the other woman needed it. She was an expert in solving issues among the pack members, and Lara was going to become one of them, sooner or later.
«That I'm easy,» Lara sighed. «And she's right. I mean, I do have children without a boyfriend. Nor a husband, nor anything. I didn't even know who the father was until a few days ago. I knew it already, but I can't allow anyone to treat me like a hooker.»
«Wait, hooker or not, what does it have to do with them? How did they even start such a conversation?»
«I was helping the head of the department with the tea. One of them said I shouldn't do that because I shouldn't be given a chance to hook up with a manager. That's what made me angry the most! It's as if I'm here just because of whom I went to bed with.»
Roxy kept her breath, realising Nate was in a difficult situation. And she didn't help one bit till that moment.
At first, their only concern was how to keep Lara safe and nearby. It seemed so natural to give her a job, for that happens with every new wolf who joins the pack.
They hadn't realised she would think of it like bribing her boss. Not telling her Nate's position suddenly felt like the best option.
They first needed to find a way to make Lara feel like she's needed in the company: but it wasn't easy, just like that.
«I don't do that kind of thing,» Lara said, still lost in her unstable emotions. «Even if it's hard to believe, I have my dignity. Especially after giving birth to the twins, I am careful of everything I do. I don't want them to be ashamed of me.»
She bit her lips and stared at the floor.
«If I work here, they'll hear some rumours sooner or later. I'm sorry, I can't stand that.»
Roxy snorted, not knowing anymore which issue was the most urgent. That girl was breaking down in front of her, and she needed to help her feel better before Alpha Nate could hear anything about that story.
«Why didn't you tell them that Nate is your children's father?» Roxy inquired. That would have made the girls shut up.
No matter what they thought, their Alpha was untouchable. No wolf in the pack would risk saying anything about his pups, nor about his woman.
«That would have confirmed their words,» Lara said. «And I don't want to cause problems for Nate.»
«What problems?»
«I am no fool, Roxy. I know LY Corp is a big company, and I know the employee's reputation can damage it. I don't want the big boss to take it out on Nate. He already pulled some strings to help me get the job. It means he's someone important, right? His reputation is tied to the company's reputation.»
«You know...»
«Why would a company which never hires accept me? Also, even if my pups are wolves, I am human. It's only thanks to Nate if my kids can meet other children like them. I thought it would be better for everyone, but I overestimated myself.»
«But why resign?»
«Because I can't work in that department anymore. And the rumours will soon flood the company, won't they?»
Roxy nodded, taken back by Lara's quick reasoning. The sales department and the secretarial department were where most rumours started. A group of young people working together is the best way to get some new information.
However, while Lara was protected from the other wolves in the sales department, the secretaries weren't as willing to accept her just because someone vouched for her.
«I don't want a job I'm not qualified for. Even if I did accept it, I wanted to make you think you made the right choice selecting me. I was going to work hard to prove that I could stay here even if I was hired thanks to some connection.»
«You were hired because your children should be part of our pack,» Roxy said. «And you're their mother.»
«I figured. Nate helped me so much, and I ruined it like this. I guess he vouched for me or something... And now his superiors will scold him because of me.»
«But you didn't do anything wrong,» Roxy pointed out. «Did you talk back to that girl? That's nothing big... Small fights happen all the time.»
«It's not just that. I caused a commotion, Roxy. I won't be welcomed in the secretarial department anymore. Also, in a company where this happens, the newer employee is the one leaving.. You can't change a whole department just because they don't like me, right? It should be even more complicated in a pack.»
