CHAPTER 3 Ryan Sullivan

Reya POV

I told Jena that I would think about the job offer. She couldn't believe that I didn't jump at the opportunity, but she also didn't have all the facts.

Jena left for work, and I decided to take Angel to the park, as it is absolutely beautiful outside today. I am pushing Angel on the swings when I reminisce on the last time I was in Henderson Valley.

Moonlight Elite Academy is the most prestigious werewolf school in the country. Though the school is typically reserved for future Alphas and Betas, under new leadership, scholarship programs were offered to lower ranking wolves.

It is located in the center of Henderson Valley, which is a mixture of humans and wolves. Though school accepts humans to keep up with appearances, it is the epitome of success to attend.

I couldn't believe it when I was accepted. I had already left the pack, working at the makeup store, but I thought this would help me acclimate back into pack life.

I was excelling in all of my classes, though I would often struggle with some of the physical training. However, I worked diligently, and I thought things were looking up until I met him.

Ryan Sullivan.

Ryan attended Moonlight Academy during the same time as me. Being the next Alpha in line for the Azure Pack, the most powerful pack in the country, Ryan had everyone's interest and attention, including mine.

I couldn't believe it when he showed any interest in me. I was the omega with no wolf, and the heir to the most powerful pack was interested in me, or so I thought.

Ryan Sullivan left me brokenhearted and humiliated. I haven't been in a relationship since. I have been too busy taking care of my Angel. Before that, I was too busy taking care of my sister to focus on romance.

I ended up leaving the Academy early when I knew my sister needed me. I put that school and Ryan Sullivan well behind me.

"Mommy, I tired," Angel says, breaking me from my inner thoughts. "Okay pretty girl, let's go home," I say, while Angel lifts up her arms for me to pick her up.

Angel falls asleep on the car ride home, and I am glad for it. When I pull up to the cottage, Daniel is standing by the front door waiting.

I look in the backseat at my sleeping Angel, and I decide to leave her in the car. I don't know what Daniel wants, but I refuse to put her in danger. I exit the car and walk up to Daniel, who is looking at me with pure lust in his eyes.

"I love it when you wear leggings. I get to stare at the amazing ass." Daniel says as if it is supposed to turn me on. "What are you doing here?" I snap at him.

"Watch your fucking tone, you slut! You don't want to piss me off, now do you?" He says as he drags a finger down my arm. I shiver in disgust.

"I have been thinking. I won't tell your secret, and I will even sign an NDA," Daniel says simply.

I know he would never agree to this, so I ask, "What's the catch?"

A dangerous smirk appears on Daniel's face. "I have decided that we will mate and marry, and when I am ready, you will mark me so that I may turn." I am shocked to my core. I freeze where I stand. I know that I could not have heard him correctly.

"Daniel, you can't be serious!" I stammer out. Daniel stalks a few feet closer to me, "Oh, I am dead serious. Either you be with me, or I will take custody of my daughter. I have several debts that she could be used for. Imagine your precious little Angel getting pimped out every night!" He whispers into my ear.

I am mortified. This man is a monster! How could anyone think of selling their toddler off? "You're sick!" I whimper out.

"Relax, I don't mean now. Of course, I will have to wait until she fills out, then she will do just fine. So, what do you say? Which future do you prefer?" Daniel asks while letting his eyes roam all over my body.

"Tell you what, I am going to go grab my things from my apartment so that I can move in tonight. Let's be real, we both know which future you are going to choose. Look at it this way, you are keeping that little brat safe and your little dog community."

Daniel walks back up to me and licks me from my neck to my lips. I can taste vile in the back of my throat. "I can't wait to taste all of you tonight, dear. I will be back. Try not to miss me," He says, before returning to his car.

As soon as Daniel is gone, I run and grab Angel from the car. I run into the house and begin packing whatever essentials we may need.

I grab my cell phone from my purse and call Jena. I explained to her what just happened with Daniel, and that I was leaving with Angel, ASAP! She tells me that she is going to book a room for me in Henderson Valley, under her name.

I make sure that I have all the documentation and identification that I need to fill out my employment paperwork. Jena is going to call her friend to let her know that I am taking the administrative position at the PR firm.

I get Angel and our bags into the car, and I do not look back. I have to make sure I am long gone before Daniel realizes we left.

After a 3 hour drive, I pull into Henderson Valley. Jena had messaged me the address of the PR firm before I left. I park in front of the sleek, modern looking building. The sign on the building reads HANDLED.

I get Angel out of her car seat, and we walk into the building. I walk up to the receptionist's desk and ask for the point of contact that Jena referred to me.

A gorgeous brunette comes out of a side office. "Hi, you must be Reya Lopez. I'm Stephanie Dillard. I am over human relations, nice to meet you." Stephanie extends her hand.

I place Angel down and shake her hand. "I hope Jena explained the job to you. You will be working at a desk cluster with the other administrative assistants, and you all share the tasks. Though there may be times you can be requested specifically by one of the agents to handle a certain charge. Any questions so far?" Stephanie asks while leading me to her office to begin my paperwork.

I look down to grab Angel's hand, but she isn't there!

My heart lurches out of my chest. Where is she? She was just standing right beside me! I hadn't moved or walked off. I just set her down so that I could shake Stephanie's hand. I barely had my eye off her for a minute.

I begin looking all over and searching open office doors when a deep sexy voice behind me speaks. "Excuse me, is this your daughter?"

"Mommy!!" Angel yells and runs to my arms, but I am in utter disbelief. The man standing behind me, who brought my Angel back to me, was none other than Ryan Sullivan.
