In the neighboring city, Black Sun. Just like Rise City, the whole city was bustling already. The city has lots of tall buildings, hotels, and companies scattered around.
Five cars drove towards the biggest entertainment car. Everyone's attention was drawn to the expensive-looking cars as they passed on the highway.
As the cars pulled up before the large company, the guards hurriedly opened the door to the car in the middle of the five cars.
The people around felt an invisible force push them back as a black expensive shoe stepped down from the car.
A man got out of the car and no one around dared to look at him. He smoothened his shirt as he rolled up the sleeves of his ink-black shirt. He looked up as he ran his fingers across his jet-black hair.
The company had a nameplate placed at the far top. "Moonlight Entertainment Industry."
He looked around gently before walking to the revolving door leading into the large company.
His movement commanded respect and authority. He shoved his hands into his pockets before stepping into the building.
Those around immediately bowed their heads as they noticed his presence. He didn't say a word as he walked towards his private elevator.
"Alpha Roland is just so hot." One of the ladies whispered to the one standing next to her as she watched the elevator doors close before his handsome face.
"His mate will be so lucky to have him." Another lady said with a dreamy smile.
"I would have made my move on him but he is just too cold."
"If you are tired of your job, please do. He won't mind ending your contract."
Roland could clearly hear what they were saying despite being far away now. He removed his attention from them and stared up at the elevator showing the floor he was on.
As soon as the elevator stop at the top floor, Roland stepped out and walked down the hallway. He looked outside the window, looking down at the whole city before turning right.
"Alpha Roland." His beta, Ryker, bowed as he walked in.
Roland didn't say a word, he just walked into his office and sat behind his desk. He turned back to look down at the bustling city.
"These are the files you have to review. The new movie will start shooting by tomorrow." Ryker informed and Roland nodded, still not saying a word.
Ryker waited patiently for him to complete his silence phase. Ryker still wondered why out of all the businesses he was offered to take over, he decided to take over the movie industry owned by his mother.
Ryker could guess the reason why but Roland would never talk about the reason why.
"Any other news?" Roland's cold and authoritative voice finally sounded in his ears, making him look up.
Roland turned to face the files on his table as he started sorting them out one after the other.
"Gianna would be bringing other files related to the company later but we got some news from Rise City." Ryker said while looking at him for permission to proceed.
Roland looked up then rested his back in his seat with a raised brow.
"They were attacked by Rogues today." Ryker informed Roland and he raised his eyebrows in interest.
"So what did their alpha do about it?" Roland asked.
"They did win against them and caught one of the Rogues whom I heard is being tortured by Alpha Maya." Ryker informed Roland, who threw his head back in laughter.
"A woman trying to show she's superior. So cute." Roland chuckled before facing the files on his table.
"Alpha Maya isn't weak Alpha. She is just as fierce as any other male alphas." Ryker defended. He had seen Maya fight once or twice and he had to commend her skills.
"She is a woman, Ryker. She'll have to prove me wrong on her own, not by your words. Any other thing left?" Roland asked.
"None for now alpha." Ryker replied and Roland waved his hands to wave him off. Ryker bowed before walking out of the office.
Roland then returned to looking down at the city with his hands crossed before him.
He had done his best in keeping the city in shape since his father stepped down from his position and handed it over to him.
The rogues were bad news and he was willing to do anything to shut them out for good. He had to sit well and strategize.
'Report back to my office.' He said to Ryker through their mind link and Ryker soon walked back into the office with a mug of tea.
Ryker sipped from the mug gently with raised brows. "I see you brought out your rebellious side this time." Roland rolled his eyes before turning to face him.
"No, I'm just being neutral." Ryker replied.
"I was starting to wonder where the nosy you went. Well anyways, send more men to guard the borders. Those rogues can not be trusted. No one knows how they'll strike again." Roland turned on his computer and the CCTV footage of the entrance of the company played before him.
A blonde lady stepped out of her car and he recognized her immediately.
"And make sure she doesn't come near this floor today or you'll be dying by my hands." Roland threatened to make Ryker gulp the tea hard.
"Jess?" Ryker asked but Roland didn't reply to him.
"Just do as you were told."
As soon as Ryker walked out, a lady walked in. She was dressed in a suit skirt and a white shirt that had two of its buttons undone.
"Those going for the meeting in Rise City would be leaving now alpha." She said as she dropped a black folder on his table.
Roland picked it up and quickly scanned through the file swiftly.
"Would you like to make any changes before they leave?" The lady, Gianna asked him.
"Arrange my car. I'll be going to the meeting myself."
On the other side, at Rise City.
"The meeting will be held at CN hotel." Phoebe informed Maya as they walked into the mansion.
The main room was filled with maids who were cleaning and they bowed upon seeing their aloha walk in.
"I have to go to the company first before going to the meeting. And besides, the meeting isn't this morning right?" Maya asked as they walked up the grand stairs.
"The meeting starts at 2 pm so there's still time." Phoebe said as they got to the landing of the stairs.
Maya stopped in her tracks and looked up at the large picture placed on the wall of the landing. It was a picture of her sitting comfortably on a throne-like chair.
"Would you like to go see Luna and Alpha Raymond first?" Phoebe asked and Maya nodded before they took the left side of the stairs.
They arrived at a medium-sized living room where a woman in her mid-fifties sat, knitting. Her red hair was up in a messy bun and she seemed to be so engrossed in the knitting she was doing.
"Mother." Maya called and she looked up immediately she heard her daughter's voice.
"Maya baby." She stood up, dropping the things in her hands before hugging her daughter. "Your father told me you went to the borders."
"Yes, mother."
"Hey, you." Her mother, Scarlett called the maid to clean the vase nearby. "Get some juice for Maya."
"Yes madam." The maid bowed before walking away and Scarlett's mind linked Raymond to come to the living room.
Raymond soon stepped out of one of the rooms down the hallway which they could clearly see.
"You're back Maya. Any news?" Raymond asked as he adjusted his shirt.
"One of the Rogues was captured but he refused to speak and he is being treated for all his wounds." Maya smiled triumphantly.
"The wounds you gave him." Phoebe replied and Raymond chuckled.
"So what is your plan on this Rogue issue Maya?" Raymond asked, making Maya sit back in her chair with her legs crossed on one another.
"Well father, it doesn't please me to see those rogues trying to ruin everything but there really is nothing we can do than fight them and prevent them from harming the citizens." Maya said.
"But Maya, they will keep on doing the same thing and soon they'll get…"
"Father, I get you are worried but there is nothing we can actually do. You don't expect us to clear the entire race of Rogues and rebellious werewolves? No. There's no way it's possible." Maya cut her father off.
"I will figure something out father, no need to worry. Trust me on it all."
Maya stood up and Phoebe did the same from where she sat and they both walked down the stairs before walking in the opposite direction.
The whole part was only for Maya, and despite having lots of rooms in it, she made it all empty.
She loved her peace and owning the whole wing was enough for her.
Although she gave Phoebe and her mate Peter the first room on the wing, they both rarely spent time around.
"Get my white car ready by the time I'm done dressing." Maya said before walking to her room.
Maya closed the golden double doors behind her before taking off the robe on her.
She hung it on the coat rack before walking to the terrace door where she opened the golden glass doors to let the fresh morning breeze in.
She looked out at the forest behind the building and smiled before walking into the bathroom.
An hour later, a white Rolls Royce drove towards Nova designs. It was one of the largest design companies in the whole city and one of the best in the world.
They design and make dresses, shoes, bags, and other fashion accessories. Everyone knew the company wasn't just any kind of company.
Maya stepped out of the white Rolls Royce and handed the keys over to one of her guards.
"Welcome, Alpha Maya." One of the security bowed to greet her and she nodded.
As soon as everyone in the company heard Maya was outside the company already, they made sure everything was perfect upon her entry.
Maya walked majestically into the company and no one could deny the fact that she was hot and beautiful.
She was wearing a white suit short skirt with a jacket draped over her shoulders and a black sleeveless top underneath. Her white heels sounded solemn as she took each step and everyone bowed to her.
As the owner of the company, of course, she had to look her best.
No one could tell her she got her fame and all because she was the werewolf in power because she was this popular before she got to the position and within five years, her company gained its ground.
Maya got to her office and sank into her chair with a loud sigh.
"Oh my goodness. There's a very long day ahead of me." She said as she took the file with Phoebe and opened it.
"That is the project we would be sponsoring Moonlight on." Phoebe explained.
"They don't even need sponsors because they already have a freaking rich boss but it seems he is just making the sponsorships an avenue for other companies to promote themselves." Maya rolled her eyes.
"We won't be sponsoring them."
"You can't do that. No matter how it seems, it is going to boost our sales for the new designs." Phoebe tried to reason, making Maya roll her eyes, and giving her a cue to proceed.
"And there will be the biggest project of the year, Project 23 coming up. The probability that it would be spoken about in this meeting is very high." Phoebe said and Maya nodded.
"Have the designing team start working on the newest designs. The best will be the product we would be launching for the big Project 23." Maya ordered and Phoebe nodded. "We need something more unique than last year's project 22."
