Bottoms Up

It was a brand new day at the office of the Devlins company. Days after Scott walked out of the SD Enterprises building, the Devlins pleaded to the highly favored son to keep their close family ties intact for the benefit of the clan and the company. With Scott's competence and connections, the declining market and net profit of the company would be well managed.

Burying the hatchet, Stanley took his chances to bring his son back. Now that Scott have given up his Luna for a full-blown she wolf, the Devlins couldn't be happier to hunt Diana down and officially cut the imprint. Everything turned tables and went on his way for he have so many plans in mind. Make the company stronger with Scott beside him, and find Diana as his trophy, and a provider for his personal needs, then eventually, kill her.

As for his only legitimate son, he gave Sebastian an assurance that he'll be put to place once he is ready to handle the company. However, Sebastian respectfully refused to work for the company any time in the future. For now, he wanted to take part in searching for the Luna. With matters he wants to resolve, he longs to understand why Diana works with a nagua who used him to kill Dolphus.

Scott didn't bothered to ask Sebastian for updates, or even know whether Diana has been found or not. Day and night, Sebastian perseveres to locate Diana's whereabouts. He even had Dr. Blackwell and the hospital guarded so that not even a strand of her hair would get away.

The clan's pack didn't offered aid to participate in the search. They remained under the paws of Scott waiting for his orders if he wants them to get involved in the clan's search for Diana. Meanwhile, Lucas and Cory killed their curiosity as they discretely take part in it.

The woman, that Alpha Scott has been going out with, is the new talk of the town as well. Walking tall with long slender legs, silky brunette highlighted hair, and dazzling brown eyes, Lily Barlowe has it all to turn heads. However, some people, most especially the pack can't help but compare Scott's new girl from the Luna. It was so difficult for them to accept that Scott have moved on so easily.

Compared to Diana, Lily speaks too informal when dealing other people. At any occasion on any time of the day, she wears sexually tiltillating clothes showing her hourglass figure. Her voice is too loud and seeks everybody's attention. She makes sure that everyone in the room knows about her presence. Considering she's dating the Alpha, Lily shows it off to everyone as she cling onto him whenever they are together. She conveys a message that what she and Scott have is an unbreakable bond.

"It is not about her looks, how she act or speak. But.. I don't know brother..", Damon tries so hard to choose the most appropriate words to the once again CEO of the company as he make a tea for Scott. "It doesn't matter if you like Lily but.. what about Diana? Have you broken up with her? Is that why she left? She's your Luna! I thought the imprint is the strongest bond between two wolves?", Damon placed the tea on the table as he slump on the chair in Scott's office.

"I couldn't agree more! She even takes over managing your schedules, meetings and appointments. I mean that's my job.", Jim prepares the documents that require Scott's signature on his table as he butt in the brothers' conversation. . "And I don't like how she's so fussy about it! I like Dr. Diana more. Sophisticated, elegant and..", Jim has more to say but he noticed the silence in the room. When he looked at Scott, he was already glaring at him, while Damon is keeping the laughters in. He hurriedly fixed the papers and cleared his throat. "I apologize gentlemen. I'm sorry for being rude. I am only the assistant, and I'm going out", he said as we sprinted out of the office. Damon bursted in laughter as Jim hurriedly went out.

"As I was saying.. are you and Diana over? Don't you feel anything for her anymore?", Damon asked.

Scott remained silent as he took a sip on the tea Damon made for him. "What the hell is this?", Scott wiped his mouth with the disgusting tea Damon made him. Every morning, Damon serves him drinks with a very distinct taste. May it be coffee, tea, or liquor, his little brother never forgets to prepare a beverage as soon as Scott sits in his office. "Are you trying to poison me? What the hell is this?", he sniffed the tea as he feel disgusted on the weird taste.

"It's specially made. Bottoms up, brother", Damon

said as he stood up. The younger sibling tries hard everyday to make up to his brother in behalf of his family, to give Scott an apology he deserves. He leaves the room as soon as Scott finishes his beverage..

Scott kept his distance from the Devlins even though everything has been in favor of him. Cold and distant, he kept formal with his employees at work and casual in the presence of his family. He didn't liked the idea of Sebastian stepping down. However, he still let Stanley made prime decisions as long as they won't interfere with his welfare.

A little later, the brothers heard a soft knock on the door. "Sir, there's someone here who wants to see you", Jim said as with a serious tone.

"Does he have an appointment?", he asked.

"It's actually a SHE", Jim opened the door wide for Scott's guest.

"Do I need an appointment?", Tamara came in wearing a white longsleeves and black trousers. Her red stilletos clacked as she walk every step.

"Damon leave us", Scott said as he drank all the contents in the cup. Damon stood on his feet and glared the Tamara as he leave the room.

"Look who's alive", Scott said as he stood up.

"Hmm..", Tamara looked around with one hand in her pocket. She sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. "I'll get back to that elf, when I get what I want", she said as she pull up her sleeves showing the burn on her hands up to her arms.

"What the hell are you doing here?", Scott gritted his teeth as he squinted his eyes to hated nagua.

"The full moon is just around the corner. I heard the Alpha is busy with the preparations with his.. new Luna", Tamara smirked.

"And when did the full moon interest a nagua?", Scott asked.

"Since you imprinted on Diana", Tamara's pupils shimmered as it briefly shifted from round to elliptical shape. "She's been missing for too long. I can't wait for you to lead the way to my daughter.. on the full moon", her lips curved up as Scott gaped at her.

Realizing that the lycan craves for the Luna's blood, the beast in him will run his way to Diana wherever she may be. Tamara stood up and walked towards Scott. "We'll have a wonderful reunion then. You, me and my favorite undead, Claudia", she said before leaving the Alpha wolf clenching his fist in anger.
