She glared at him.
"You're the only one who wins in all this, because you'll still have your witch, her lover and a maid!"
"I hadn't thought of that, but it's true. From now on, I'm only going to have relationships with women who can offer me more than their bodies eager for my touch. Will you accept?"
"I don't have a choice, do I? She said grudgingly.
"Yes, you do. You can leave." He said smiling, thinking that visiting her at night in the staff wing would be an adventure he hadn't yet experienced.
"Could I leave, boss?" She asked with a twinkle in her eye.
Adam turned quietly to her.
"Yes."
"You wouldn't chase me to kill me?"
"Maybe..."
"I'm going to remove my charm, boss. And I want to watch what happens to you and your disgusting pack of werewolves."
Adam took a deep breath.
"You haven't taken it off yet? Spare me your empty threats and let's eat." Adam said and closed the subject, and turned to Caricature. "You're going to do a thorough search of Kate's room. I don't want to find her cell phone or any other means of communication. I'll try to search her here myself and take any of those electronics away from her. Once you've searched the room, you should call in one of the werewolves you recruited this week to guard the door, even though it will be locked from the outside. I don't want any surprises. Alexandre, you'll accompany her to her room when she wants to go to bed. Jenna, you're to bring her her meals tomorrow.
Kate looked frightened at Adam.
"May I ask what this is all about? Why am I being treated like a prisoner?"
"It will only be for one day, my sweet peach. I don't want any surprises, and I know your wit for understanding things. We don't want you getting in the way of our plans, do we?"
Kate stood up and raised her arms.
"Then search me now because I intend to go to my room so I don't hear any more abuse."
"Be quiet, Kate. Caricatura will finish dinner calmly, and will search your room first. You'll have the television to distract you. We're not going to take everything away, but before all that, you're going to join the party in my room tonight."
Kate sat back down and crossed her arms, frowning the whole time she had to wait to lie down. She remembered that she had thrown away the photo of Anna's montage, and felt relieved. But he kept his unfriendly face.
"And Genevieve, I'd like you to let me know if Henry finds Anna. I thought about hiring some detectives, but Henry is smart and knows more about people than I ever will."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Genevieve said quietly.
"I can read your mind, remember?"
Genevieve looked at the food cooling on her plate, with no appetite.
"If he allows me to tell you, you'll be warned. Otherwise, do as you always do and read my mind. Or have you had enough of playing with the minds of werewolves?"
"Your mind is too interesting for me to resist checking it out, but I'd like you to warn me without it being necessary."
"That's not going to happen."
Adam took a deep breath. He knew that Genevieve's loyalty was unparalleled, and not even under torture would she tell him something he wasn't supposed to know, so he wouldn't insist. He still felt a twinge of remorse for having tortured Jenna, even though he knew he would soon have to do it again.
He finished his dinner, and without another word, he took the young woman by the hand, uninterested in whether she had finished her dinner, or what she had thought of dining with him, and led her to her room, telling Kate that she should join them.
And just as he'd predicted, it didn't take Kate more than fifteen minutes to join them.
The woman was lying naked on the bed, while Adam was sitting in an armchair watching her, sipping cognac.
Kate came in and, smiling, sat on Adam's legs.
"You were quick this time, my dear."
"I haven't even started yet, Kate."
"Oh."
"I want to see what you can do without my instructions. This young lady is a wedding present. But first, you're going to tell me where the will is."
Kate got excited and stood up to approach the woman lying naked, her eyes expressing fear.
"The will is in a safe." She replied and ran her hand over the woman's breast, who just closed her eyes, allowing it. "I was wrong about this young woman. She's shy."
"Yes. Like all virgins. I hope you'll prepare her for me." Adam said, sipping his cognac.
Kate looked at him in surprise.
"What are you saying?"
"I'm going to break her hymen, but I want her to be ready to receive my penis. He's a bit of a stretch, even for a werewolf."
Karla wet her lips and turned to the young woman. She could close her eyes and pretend she was Anna.
She made the woman stand up and ran her hands slowly over her naked body, then ordered her to lie down. With clumsiness but efficiency, she made the woman moan with her caresses.
At two o'clock in the morning, Adam called Alexander and ordered him to take the woman home, after escorting Kate to the guarded room. His last thought before falling asleep was that he didn't even know his secretary's name.
...
At Henry's insistence, Genevieve traveled to Scotland to take part in the party they were throwing for Anna. She didn't say anything to Adam, but she knew he must have read her mind and knew that she intended to visit Anna. She spent most of the day with Ian. The distance didn't diminish the friendship and intimacy the two felt for each other. Ian was a reserved child, but he would burst with delight when he saw Genevieve. Anna tried not to think about how strange this was, because it meant that her son had manifested the werewolf inside him.
Genevieve brought Anna a present, which made her immensely happy. She had chosen a pearl dress, full of gold stones in the shape of little moons around her waist, which she was wearing at the moment, while she admired herself in the mirror.
Genevieve had made sure that she had done her make-up perfectly, and directed the make-up artist, who had just left her room.
