James Smith

Chapter 1

Im Lindwood City Hospital, in der Ambulanzabteilung, ging eine große und kühl wirkende Ärztin vorbei, was sofort intensive Diskussionen unter mehreren jungen männlichen Ärzten hinter ihr auslöste.

Jemand bemerkte: "Dr. Johnson ist so schön, mein Gott! Wie kann es eine so perfekte Frau auf dieser Welt geben? Wenn ich Dr. Johnson heiraten könnte, wäre es wert, zwanzig Jahre meines Lebens zu verlieren!"

Ein anderer spottete: "Du solltest aufhören zu träumen. Selbst wenn du fünfzig Jahre deines Lebens verlieren würdest, wäre es immer noch nicht deine Chance. Schau dir nur Dr. Johnsons Qualifikationen an, eine Spitzenstudentin der Südlichen Medizinischen Universität mit außergewöhnlichen medizinischen Fähigkeiten.

"Sie verdient ein Gehalt von mehreren hunderttausend Euro im Jahr. Sie ist nicht nur schön, sondern auch herausragend. Diejenigen, die sie verfolgen, könnten sich bis nach Russland aufstellen."

Ein weiterer fügte hinzu: "Warum sagst du nicht, sie könnten sich bis nach Großbritannien aufstellen?"

Einer schlug vor: "Hey, hört auf zu reden. James Smith kommt."

Als sie hinsahen, näherte sich ein Mann in schäbiger Kleidung, seine Kleider waren bis zu einem verblassten Gelb gewaschen, still.

Einer der männlichen Ärzte bemerkte: "Nun, was gibt es zu fürchten? Jeder im ganzen Krankenhaus weiß, dass James Smith der König der Betrogenen ist. Erinnerst du dich, als Herr Romero Dr. Johnson in seiner Gegenwart offen Blumen überreichte? Er hat nicht einmal mit der Wimper gezuckt."

Ein anderer fügte hinzu: "Ja, wenn ich James Smith wäre, würde ich bald tot umfallen. Er bleibt unbeeindruckt, selbst wenn ein anderer Mann offen seine eigene Frau bewundert.

"Es ist wirklich rätselhaft. Ich frage mich, wie Jennifer Johnson dazu kam, einen solchen Mann zu heiraten; selbst einen Hund zu heiraten scheint besser zu sein als James Smith."

Jemand riet: "Sprich nicht so laut. Du könntest James Smith dazu bringen, dich zu hören und dir nachzustellen."

Der andere Arzt spottete: "Mir nachstellen? Ist das möglich? Wenn er es wagt, mir nachzustellen, lade ich euch alle heute Abend zu einem Fest im Kaiser Club ein."

James Smith näherte sich, sein Gehör war scharf genug, um ihre Worte zu hören, aber er fühlte nichts, da er gegen solche Gespräche abgestumpft war.

In den letzten fünf Jahren hatte er fast jeden Tag das gleiche Leben geführt.

Er blickte auf die sich entfernende Jennifer und seufzte leise. Obwohl er und Jennifer Mann und Frau waren, hatten sie nie ein normales Eheleben geführt.

Als Schwiegersohn, der in die Familie eingeheiratet hatte, hatte Jennifer Johnson ihn vom ersten Tag ihrer Ehe an nie direkt angesehen. Ihre Haltung ihm gegenüber war zunehmend feindseliger geworden, besonders seit letztem Jahr.

In den Augen aller war James Smith einfach nicht würdig, Jennifer Johnson zu haben, nicht einmal gut genug, um ihre Schuhe zu halten.

Nur James Smith war sich bewusst, dass er im Begriff war, diesem Leben ein Ende zu setzen.

Er stammte aus der größten verborgenen Familie des Landes, war immens wohlhabend und angesehen, hatte unvergleichliche medizinische Fähigkeiten und war den Ärzten im Lindwood City Hospital weit überlegen.

Aufgrund einiger eigenartiger Vorschriften innerhalb der Familie war er verpflichtet, fünf Jahre lang als Schwiegersohn der Johnson-Familie zu dienen. Außerdem musste er bei körperlichen Auseinandersetzungen und verbalen Beleidigungen die andere Wange hinhalten.

Erst nach Erfüllung dieser Bedingungen konnte er zum Anwesen seiner Familie zurückkehren und das Erbe der Familie antreten, eine Vorschrift, die angeblich dazu diente, seinen Charakter zu verfeinern.

Er konnte nicht begreifen, wie seine Familie solche absurden Regeln aufgestellt hatte, die ihn dazu zwangen, jahrelang unnötig zu leiden und ein Leben zu führen, das schlimmer war als das eines Hundes.

Aber zum Glück war er kurz davor, seine Freiheit zu erlangen!

Als er die aufsteigende Energie in sich spürte, wurde James Smith von einem Gefühl der Aufregung überwältigt, das er kaum zurückhalten konnte.

"Wartet nur, ich werde euch alle in Erstaunen versetzen!" erklärte er innerlich.

Besonders gegenüber seiner Frau, Jennifer Johnson, freute er sich auf den Moment, in dem sie seine wahren Fähigkeiten erkennen würde, gespannt darauf, ihren Gesichtsausdruck zu sehen, wenn sie herausfand, dass er nicht der unzulängliche Mensch war, für den sie ihn hielt.

Nach der Arbeit nahm James Jennifers Lieblingsessen aus der Kantine und brachte es in ihr Büro, was für ihn im Lindwood City Hospital das Wichtigste war.

Als er sich jedoch dem Büro näherte, sah er mehrere Krankenschwestern des Krankenhauses draußen lauschen und sehr klatschhaft aussehen. Als sie James kommen sahen, zerstreuten sie sich schnell und warfen ihm mitleidige Blicke zu.

"James, vielleicht solltest du nicht reingehen," riet ihm eine Krankenschwester und hielt ihn auf.

"Warum?" James war verwirrt.

In diesem Moment hörte er die liebevolle Stimme eines Mannes aus dem Büro, die sagte: "Jennifer, ich liebe dich wirklich. Du bist so herausragend. Warum bleibst du bei diesem nutzlosen Mann? Er kann dir kein Glück geben! Lass dich von ihm scheiden und heirate mich. Jennifer, ich liebe dich wirklich."

Die Stimme war nicht leise, und obwohl sie durch die Bürotür getrennt waren, hörten viele Leute es. Sie alle drehten sich zu James um und zeigten Mitleid, Bedauern und, mehr noch, Schadenfreude und Verachtung.

James Smiths Mund zuckte ein paar Mal. Kein Mann konnte ruhig bleiben, wenn er hörte, wie ein anderer Mann seiner Frau auf diese Weise seine Liebe gestand. Selbst James Smith konnte es nicht.

Wut stieg von seinen Füßen bis zu seinem Kopf auf, und er drängte die Krankenschwester zur Seite und schritt auf das Büro zu.

Doch sein rechter Fuß rutschte ungeschickt aus, was eher unbeholfen als heldenhaft wirkte, sogar mitleiderregend.

Kaum war er angekommen, schwang die Bürotür auf und enthüllte eine auffallende Gestalt—Jennifer. Als sie James erblickte, huschte ein kurzer Anflug von Schuld über ihr Gesicht, der schnell verschwand, als sie einen strengen Ausdruck annahm und sagte: "Wem glaubst du, dass du diese Haltung zeigst?"

Beim Anblick von Jennifer wurde James' Zorn sofort besänftigt. In diesem Moment trat eine weitere Gestalt aus dem Büro. Der Mann flehte: "Jennifer, bitte lass mich erklären. Ich..."

Als er James sah, hielt der Mann inne und sah ihn provokativ an, spottete: "Oh, ist das nicht James Smith? Hast du die Toiletten schon geputzt?"

Vor einiger Zeit, als eine Toilette verstopft war und der Hausmeister abwesend war, hatte James sie entstopft. Was als freundliche Geste seinerseits begann, wurde nun von John und anderen als Quelle des Spottes genutzt.

Sofort brachen einige Zuschauer in Gelächter aus.

James ignorierte John und hatte nur Augen für Jennifer. Er hob die Essensbox in seiner Hand und sagte: "Ich habe das Essen eingepackt. Genieße es, solange es noch heiß ist."

John trat vor, blockierte James und sagte zu Jennifer: "Jennifer, das Essen in der Kantine ist nichts Besonderes. Lass mich dich stattdessen in ein romantisches Restaurant mitnehmen; es hat eine sehr romantische Atmosphäre."

Er betonte das Wort "romantisch" und warf James Smith einen provokanten Blick zu, um ihn absichtlich zu reizen.

Jeder wusste, dass James Jennifers Ehemann war, doch John wagte es, solche Dinge zu sagen, und zeigte damit völlige Missachtung für James.

James ignorierte John weiterhin, scheinbar unbeeindruckt von seinen Worten, während er Jennifer mit hoffnungsvoller Erwartung ansah, in der Hoffnung, dass sie bleiben und das Essen genießen würde, das er mitgebracht hatte.

Als sie seine Haltung beobachtete, wurde Jennifer von Wut überwältigt. Sie schlug wütend den Essensbehälter aus seiner Hand und rief: "Du bist wirklich unfähig!"

Obwohl Jennifer seit ihrer Heirat eine kühle Haltung ihm gegenüber bewahrt hatte, hatte sie ihn noch nie zuvor vor anderen als "unfähig" beleidigt. Dies war das erste Mal, was dazu führte, dass sein Körper sofort erstarrte.

Am Rande konnte John seine innere Freude nicht verbergen. Trotz seiner Bemühungen konnte sein Lächeln seine Freude nicht verbergen. Ergriff die Gelegenheit, versuchte er, Jennifers Hand zu ergreifen und die Situation auszunutzen.

Plötzlich näherten sich hastige Schritte, begleitet von einem aufgeregten Ruf: "Oh nein, etwas Schlimmes ist passiert!"

By adulthood, his father’s hatred and abuse towards him has spilled over into the rest of the pack making him the scapegoat for those with the sadistic need to see him suffer. The rest are simply too afraid to even look his way leaving him little in the way of friends or family to turn to.
Alpha Demetri Black is the leader of a sanctuary pack known as Crimson Dawn. It’s been years since a wolf has made their way to his pack via the warrior’s prospect program but that doesn’t mean he’s not looking for the tell tale signs of a wolf in need of help.
Malnourished and injured upon his arrival, Cole’s anxious and overly submissive demeanor lands him in the very situation he’s desperate to avoid, in the attention of an unknown alpha.
Yet somehow through the darkness of severe illness and injury he runs into the very person he’s been desperate to find since he turned eighteen, his Luna. His one way ticket out of the hell he’s been born into.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.

Well, here goes everything.

Someone who kills for him.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.
