Jensen Jamison, head of security for the Breitmeyer Group, led his team into the building, Rupert and Topper were ahead of him. This had been the final step, taking the building and ensuing all the staff knew of the new ownership.
Yesterday Per had seen her parents and everything had been signed, now it was the first day of the new regime and staff stood around the foyer and there was an air of panic, the power was out, nothing was working, not even the back up generators.
Finding the security manager we explained who we were and showed him the paperwork to back our words. He explained that all the systems were down, doors were auto locked, no one could access the building beyond the foyer.
"Send everyone home" Rupert instructed "And find out who we need to get the power back up" he added, pulling out his phone.
"Its her parents, has to be, but why, what are they hiding?" Topper questions.
Emily Pierson had been terrified when she realised she had been locked in the lab, no power meant no contact, and if she wasn't found soon, there would be no air. Her lab was sealed off from the rest of the building and something huge must have happened 'up top'.
She had worked for the Brooke-Bennett's for two years since leaving university early, at first it had seemed like the ideal job but then she had blindly followed instructions and had implicated herself, they had become her wardens, demanding more and threatening if she did not perform, hence why she had been in the lab last night working on the latest protocols they had demanded yesterday.
I glared up at him my eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" I was beyond livid by the words that just came out of his mouth. My glare didn't falter when Parker towered over me, clenching his jaw while trapping me against his desk.
"You heard me."
Parker's voice was low and intimidating that it made me feel so small. But I wasn't going to let him get to me.
Standing up taller, I snapped, "I will not be your personal toy, available for you to do just as you please! I do not want to be held captive against my will, and not even have a say in anything. To be honest, I don't even want a mate."
"You will do everything and anything I say, do you hear me?" Parker growled grabbing my chin and forcing me to look at him.
Without even thinking I said the first thing that came to my head but meant every word.
"I, Jasmine Davis, reject you Alpha Parker Mason, as my mate."
