forever and beyond

3- The meeting

Preoccupied with my thoughts I walked towards the room which was around the corner. As I took a turn I collided with something as hard as wall . This collision had no impact on the person but I lost my balance and fell.

Since I was the one who fell, I expected an apology but instead all I got was..

A pair of blue green eyes staring at me. The gaze was so intense and those eyes were so deep , I felt jolts of electricity running through my body. I thought he would offer me a hand to get up but that never happened. Feeling slightly embarrassed, I got up and did something that I expected from him.

I apologized.

This got me confused as to why I was apologizing. Like I was the one who fell but I got to know one thing. The shit romantic movies show where when two people collide and the male catches the female from falling was complete nonsense.

As Mr. Perfect continued staring at me ...more like checking me out , I became more self conscious. But Mr. Perfect due to his breath taking physique, perfect jawline and beige skin colour along with dark brown hair seemed like a descendant of some Greek god. He wore formal dark blue trousers and white button up shirt which made him look like a model and those mesmerizing blue green eyes were deep enough for me to drown in them.......shit.

As self realization hit me I tried to stop checking him out and cleared my throat. It didn't have any effect on him. I extended my hand and introduced myself.

"Hi I'm Evelyin Anderson" I spoke but that seemed to have no effect on him either... Well this was awkward.

This silence was broken as I heard my name being called. I turned around to see Flynn standing behind me. "What are you doing here everyone have arrived at the conference room" he stated.

What.... Wow... No welcome or hi sis, so great to see you or how was your flight.... Just on point. I wonder how jules remains sane with this guy.

As his eyes landed on the person beside me, he appeared confused but composed himself and introduced me to the person standing in front  "Alpha lycan, this is Evelyn. She is the one I was talking about".

To this he finally blinked and said "let's see if you can change my mind". If he was trying to intimate me then he was successful but his expressionless face didn't help me read him. He then abruptly left leaving me with ton of anxiety and nervousness.

" That wasn't weird at all" I said trying to express my sarcasm . To which Flynn replied " the further you stay away from him the safer you will be. Now let's go ."

My presentation went on for an hour and in that one hour I could constantly feel alpha lycan staring at me. As my presentation ended, the people began with their questions. Most of them were whys and hows. I was expecting a question or a doubt from Alpha lycan but all I got was a statement.

A rude barbarous inhumane statement.

"You want us to not only provide you with our fund and a place in the HQ but also let you experiment on us so that you can quench your thirst of finding answers to your purposeless humanity and humane nature"

Literally I was taken aback. I had no words to say and I stood like a statue. But I knew that I had to prepare for the worst and I did.

I confidently replied "I'm not going to deny that my research is about me finding answers that have haunt me for many years but it is also about the werewolf community and their betterment. The birth ratio has always been a concern here. Despite the females bearing triplets or more than 4 children, only one manages to survive that too with utmost difficulty what if the solution to this lies in the blood and through proper study and analysis, a method can be found to save all children".

Major part of my research was based on the actual crisis tht werewolves were facing. The fertility rate had always been low among werewolves. The main reason was only mated wolves could impregnate their females. Unlike humans where unprotected sex often led to pregnancy, the case among werewolves is different. Only after the mating process can a couple make children. This was to ensure that the mates don't reject each other as they were destined to be soul mates. But it has its downsides too.

While I was pre occupied with these thoughts, the lycan speaks "I don't find your research intriguing enough and I don't think it will be effective, so I here by deny its continuation and your permit to stay here as well. I want you to leave new Orleans by tomorrow."

Saying tht he left the room and so did the other board members except for flynn, who came to me and placed his hand on my shoulder and said" you gave your best. Its their loss tht they couldn't appreciate and utilise the great brain of yours"pointing towards my brain "come on, let's go home"

I knew tht flynn meant everything he said and thats why I wanted to be here and help them. So despite this shit show of a meeting I didn't loose hope.

There is a saying 'when the straight way doesn't work, use the crooked one' so I decided to collect some information about alpha lycan and his pack and guess what.... I did find something useful, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go to hell because of using it.
