A Gamma's Revenge (Zalia) novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381
Maleah’s p.o.v.

I am standing in the middle of my new boutique and I am about to lose my patience with a new designer, she refuses to sign the contract I have placed in front of her. She brought her Father and an attorney with her, both of them agreeing with the designer that the contract is unreasonable and that she doesn’t have to proof to me that the designs are her own.

“Fine.” I say and I see a triumphant smile on the designer’s face, I grab the contract from the table as I look at her Father. “I hope you can find another boutique that is willing to do business with you, I will find someone else to sell their designs in my boutique.” I say as I tear up the contract and Pauline opens the door, indicating that this meeting is over. “Do you have any idea who my Father is?” The designer asks and I just shrug my shoulders.

I know perfectly well who her Father is and I don’t give a flying frog on Sunday, he doesn’t scare me one bit. Her Father growls at me as I turn my back on him and I am surprised when I hear the voice of Alpha Dax say, “Thomas, don’t threaten one of my Pack-members.” I turn to see Thomas and his Daughter pale as they stare at my Alpha and I decide to embarrass Thomas even further, “Alpha Dax, I hadn’t expected you this early.

I will be busy the rest of the day with finding another designer and I had hoped that I would be able to show you a fully stocked boutique.” I say as I walk towards him and instead of shaking my outstretched hand he pulls me in for a hug, “Can I ask out loud why you need another designer?” He asks through the mind-link. I answer him that he can ask and that I will answer him truthfully.

“What happened to the designer that you were going to sign a contract with?” Alpha Dax asks and I tell him that the designer refused to sign the contract, in addition I tell him that the designer refused to show proof that the designs are hers. “I got burned in the past by a designer and ever since I ask designers to sign a contract with proof of authenticity, I want to make sure that the designs that get sold in my boutique belong to the Wolf or Lycan that gets paid for them.” I reply.

Alpha Dax looks at Thomas with a knowing look and without uttering a word Thomas leaves with his Daughter, Pauline excuses herself as I guide Alpha Dax to some chairs. “Thank you, Alpha Dax.” I say as I sit down and he tells me that he was glad he could help me. “What brings you to my boutique, Alpha Dax?” I ask as Pauline places coffee in front both of us.

This is what makes my boutiques so unique, each store has at least one designer and each designer has their own unique talent in designing clothes. In some towns or cities there are more designers that want to sell their clothes in my boutique, while in other towns and cities I really have to look for them.” I tell him and he tells me that Ariel used some of her money to build a house for the Omegas, opening up space in the Pack-house for unmated Warriors.

After Alpha Dax has left Pauline hands me two files, one I place inside my bag and the other I open to find a list with three names. Designers that want to become a part of my imperium, designers that hope to make a name for themselves and I read the information Pauline has gathered for me. One name I cross of the list immediately, his answer to a simple question rubs me the wrong way and I take a good look at the other two names on the list.

“Pauline, get in touch with both of them. I think Albarr is the perfect town for an experiment and I hope these two can pull it off.” I tell her as I hand her the file back, I give a few instructions to the construction crew and then I leave for the hotel. I need some time alone, to shower and read the file on my next assignment, I just hope it won’t keep me from home for too long.
