Christmas Betrayals

CHAPTER SIX

LIAM POV

I let out a sigh as my phone rang for the tenth time today.

“Welles speaking.” I said as I picked up the call.

“Mr Welles, good afternoon. I am Harry calling from London. I just wanted to inform you that we selected the best script writer to help out with your next project. She will be coming to your company maybe today or tomorrow.” I heard.

“Oh nice. Thank you so much.” I said before I hanged up, letting out another sigh.

Honestly, it's not easy being the CEO of a film industry. Yes, I know I am not the one who is going to do all the work, but then it is still stressful although I can't complain about the profit. Being a billionaire is an amazing accomplishment for a twenty-six young man like me.

In the whole of New York, I am among the top three richest man, which is something to be proud of.

I heard my phone ring again, making me let out a groan.

Where the hell is my secretary, and why am I getting so many calls today?

I picked up the call without looking at the caller ID.

“Welles speaking.”

“Mrs Jennie Welles here. I would like to talk to my son and not the CEO of Less Company.”

I smiled when I heard my mother's voice.

“Hey mum. Sorry I didn't check the caller ID, so I didn't know you were the one calling. How are you doing today?” I asked her.

“I am feeling so lonely. I am not fine.” she said.

“Why are you not fine, and what is making you feel lonely? I thought dad was there with you, or has he travelled without taking you with him?” I asked her, knowing it is impossible for my Dad to travel without my mum. They are both struck together.

“Your dad is here, but I still feel so lonely. The house is so quiet. My only son has refused to find his mate and give me a grandchild to make the house to be full of life. Liam, listen to me, I am not getting any younger. My friends always brag about their grandchildren when we go out, but I can't relate because you are still so single. You have clouded your mind with work that your eyes can't find your mate. Can you please be serious about this and hurry up in giving me a grandchild?” she said using a sad voice.

I tried not to roll my eyes. I should have known she would talk about this because she has always been bothering me these past few days about me getting her grandchildren.

“Mum you know I have searched, and I still can't find her. I am sure she is somewhere, and soon the moon goddess will bring her to me, so please calm down. Soon, you will have your grandchildren.” I told her.

“I just hope it will be soon because it's my Christmas wish that the next Christmas coming you spend it with your mate and she will either be pregnant or she has given birth to my grand pups.” she said.

“I hope Santa hears your wish and grants you your heart desires.” I laughed.

“I am not trying to be funny here, young man. You are twenty-six years old and still mateless. You should see this as a serious issue. Your best friend, who is your beta, found his own mate at the age of eighteen years, but look at you. You should be serious, or else you might get to forty and still be single.” she said.

I silently listened to her because I know ever I say will be used against me.

“Honey let him be. I am sure he has heard everything you have said. Just let him get back to work for now.” I heard my dad say in the background.

“But you should also advise your son.” she said.

“I will, but after he gets home from work. Right now, you know we shouldn't bother him.” my dad answered.

I finally smiled again because now I know my Dad has my back, and he is my saviour from my mum. If he had let her, she would have kept talking for long without giving me a single break.

“Thanks dad for the big save. I need to go now, mum. I have a meeting to attend. Take care of yourselves, and I love you too, mum.” I smiled before I quickly rang up.

If only my mum knows that I am also under pressure in finding my mate. I can't wait to finally meet her too.

It pains me anytime I heard people even teenagers under than me have found their mates, and I am still here searching all over for her.

I was so upset that I stopped working and I used months to search in my mates in all the packs I knew but I couldn't just find her anywhere.

After that time, I decided to stop searching. Who knows, maybe she is still a child, and she has to grow up before I can find her. Maybe she has travelled to another different continent.

But I am so lonely. I am always feeling lonely. I don't believe in sleeping around before I find my mate, which is why I don't go around with women. It is really hard for me as a male.

Sometimes, to forget that I am feeling lonely, I would get myself buried with so much work, which is why I am tagged as the work alcoholic boss.

The door opened.

“Alp...... oops, I mean boss, it's time to supervise the shooting scene.”

I looked up to see Fiona, my personal assistant, who is also my Beta's mate.

She begged for me to accept her to work for me and even if I badly wanted to say no to her I couldn't because she is my friend after all so I accepted to let her work for me. She is such a hardworking person, and I have never for once regretted working with her.

Her mate trusts us both so he really doesn't care that we are together at work because we are all best friends right from when we were so young. While we are working here in the office, he is helping out with the affairs of the pack.

I stood up and picked up my suit, then put it on.

“Let's go then.”

We walked out of the office.

As we went to the ground floor, everyone we saw on the way kept greeting us.

I got to where they were shooting and saw that they were already going far in the production.

“Boss this movie is going to sell so well. I am so happy with the production so far. This edits of the wolves look so real.” Mr Anthony, one of the producers, said as he shaked my hand.

“I am glad you love our services.” I said, feeling so happy he is satisfied.

I produce authentic ideas and actors for movie production. The only thing he wasn't aware of is that this isn't just an edit, but it is real. The wolves he is recording are actually some of my men.

As the alpha, I can instruct my people to do something like this, although we are all careful not to spill our secret out. My company is filled with both humans and werewolves, but the humans don't know about this because we have always been so careful.

Also, I made sure everyone has equal rights, whether human or werewolf.

“Boss you have to go for your meeting right now, or you will be late.” Fiona whispered.

“Excuse me, Mr Anthony, but I have to go right now. I have to attend an important meeting.” I said before I excused myself.

I went back to my office to get my files before I headed back to the conference room.

Everyone stood up when I walked in to greet me.

I sat down in front before they all joined to sit down.

“So what's the agenda for today's meeting?” I asked them.

“Sir first of all, we have a report.” one of my officials said.

“Yes I am listening.”

“So we tried to contact Thane Flynn this morning to join our industry for the new movie, but he declined to come down to New York.” he said.

“And what was his reason for not coming?” I asked him.

“According to him, he said personal reasons.” he answered.

“Then you find someone else who is willing to accept our offer. We can't force someone who thinks highly of himself to work with us. He might even add more pressure to us and give us a hard time because from the news I heard about him, he is good in his work but he also has a very bad character that always causes scandals. We won't want to in Less company. So stick to finding a potential actor who will save us a lot of strength.” I said.

“Yes sir.”

“Anything else?” I asked.

“We still need a script writer to help us out for our next project, Sir. It is almost time to produce a new movie. We need ideas as soon as possible.” someone said.

“About that, we have everything under control. We were able to ask for help in London, so they informed us that they would be sending someone to us. So that is not an issue.” I answered.

“Also it is almost the end of the year, we need to get new actors and actresses. So, the management is in charge, and I prepare for an audition. That's all for now. If you have anything to say, let it out now so we can leave.” I added.

I waited for a minute, and when I saw no one had anything to say, I closed the meeting and walked out.

“Boss the receptionist called that someone is here to see you. She said the lady is from London.” Fiona said.

“She came so fast. Alright, bring her to my office.” I instructed before heading to my office.

I sat down to rest because I was feeling a bit exhausted and hungry too. I need to order something to eat.

I stood up from my chair and stood in front of the glass in my office.

My company was so large, and the building was so tall that it was possible to see all over New York City.

I love the view from my office because it always refreshed me whenever I looked around.

I heard a soft knock on the door, and after some seconds, the door opened.

I was almost knocked out by the scent that took over my sense organs.

I have never reacted to anyone's scent like this before. This is so overwhelming and amazing.

I slowly turned to see who owned this scent.

Right in front of me was the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes on.

I felt the strong urge to run to her and hug her tightly.

“Hello good afternoon, sir. I am Ava Wilson from London. I was told to come work for your company for a few days.”

Her voice was so divine that they melted my soul.

Ava Wilson. What a beautiful name for my beautiful mate.

I have finally found her, and there is no way I am letting her return back to London.
