IN A WAR TO HAVE HER. Chapter 1 Nancy Meets Cole

Nancy's POV

The car's horn couldn't stop at the gate for a long period of time. I wasn't downstairs to know who could be honking endlessly.

I was busy cleaning up my bathroom and toilet when I heard a voice coming from the parlor. One of the voices is Dad's and the other belongs to a man I don't recognize.

Their voices were so unfriendly. Though my dad has a hostile voice, which makes him sound like he wants to devour anyone while speaking.

Since I knew him, he has been speaking with a loud voice. My mother told me she feared marrying him because of his voice. She started talking to him about it at one time.

However, Dad cannot change because he is used to talking loudly.

I also noticed there was some argument, and the stranger's voice was getting louder. For my dad to calm down, speaking calmly made me think that he could be guilty of something.

I catch a whiff of his scent, and it tells me two things, Stranger and

I can easily listen in on their conversation from up here.

Then again, they're so loud, I'm sure even a human would hear them from the next town over. "If I don't have my money by the time I count five times, I'm going to tear your throat out," The stranger threatened.

I'm not paralyzed by fear or anything like that. Okay, maybe a little. Mostly, it keeps reminding me that there could be a problem going on with my father and the others.

So I thought of quickly rushing to the parlor to know what was going on, but on the contrary, I should be in the middle of a matter I know nothing about.

However, a better daughter might run to the parlor to save her father, but I don't budge from my spot in the bathroom. I'm not paralyzed by fear or anything like that. Okay, potentially a little. Mostly, I just keep reminding myself that I shouldn't care.

My father and I aren't best of friends, and he doesn't give a damn about me as much as he should since I lost my darling mother.

I bet if our roles were reversed, he wouldn't bother saving me. It's only fair that I return the favor. He can get out of this mess on his own.

Just as my mind made up, Dad started shouting from the sitting room. He's had years of practice, so his baritone is loud enough to make the walls shake.

"Julie! Get yourself here this minute!"

I'm so used to Dad's yelling that it doesn't really bother me anymore. Plus, like I said,

I really don't want to get mixed up in his mess. Still, I jumped out of my bathroom, left the cleaning, washed my hands, and rushed down to the parlor.

I plan to stay out of the way if I can, but I know that if I take too long obeying an order, there will be consequences. If Dad somehow manages to get out of this mess alive, that is to say he is very lucky.

I get more and more worried with each step I take while coming to meet him. We may not have whatever money Dad owes. We're so short on cash that even with the little job I am doing, last time I checked the money in my bag, it only had fifteen dollars and a handful of coins.

The fifteen can't pay for cigarettes and beer, and if we didn't hunt, we'd starve. Anyway, the fact that we have a money bag, we keep money, and not a bank account like normal people mostly sums things up.

So I got worried, why is Dad calling me? Does he plan to blame me and say I stole the money? Actually, knowing Dad, it's possible, and makes me worry even more.

He could be very funny but not to come and ridicule me before the wolf for something I know nothing about. My heart kept pounding, and I got worried about the whole thing.

Dad embarrassed me in front of his guests? Not that I expect Dad to be concerned about my well-being, but still. Shouldn't he care about continuing the bloodline?

I enter the living room and stop hesitantly in the doorway. I'm not sure if it's safe to approach, and there's a small chance, fingers crossed, that Dad just wants me to fetch something... like that money we don't have. So I'm actually saving time by standing near the door.

I peer into the living room and my eyes settle on one of the largest werewolves I've ever seen. He's in human form and towers almost a foot over my dad.

Although he's about Dad's age, a little younger, he's in much better shape, lean, strong, and muscular, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have an ounce of fat beneath his jeans and black leather jacket. His jet-black hair needs a cut, and he looks like he hasn't shaved in days.

His eyes are narrowed, and his upper lip is curled back in a snarl. My overall impression is that he's big, wild, and could be very dangerous. Definitely not the sort of wolf Dad should be messing with.

"Come here, Julie," Dad orders when he spots me. Unlike his rival, Dad doesn't look like much. He's of average height and of above-average weight.

All that weight is gathered in his stomach, so he could pass for nine months pregnant. Okay, fine, maybe more like seven. My Dad drinks a lot of beer, and it makes his Tummy grow massive.

Also, he loves late-night meals, which is not good for his age, and has contributed to having a big Belly. Dad also clubs and lives a reckless life, which my mother had severely complained about when she was alive.

As usual, he's wearing thick shorts, belted below his belly, and a blue T-shirt. I carefully walk up to Dad. When I stopped next to him, he crossed his arm around me for like the first time ever!

I really can't remember him ever showing me any sort of affection of such nature, at least not since my mother died. If it has happened, that could be when I was much younger not as I have grown older.

As he pulls me close, I smell cigarettes and beer, and his stench makes me shudder in disgust. Then I catch a whiff of hope laced with worry, which tells me that Dad's definitely up to something.

What's his plan? We all like: "Please don't hurt me, my little girl needs me?"

I mentally roll my eyes at the thought.

It's the only explanation I have for why Dad is suddenly acting all dad-like.

"This is my daughter," Dad introduces me to the Don Wolf Master, who emits a growl in response. It could be his way of saying "nice to meet you," but I doubt it. According to that, his name is Cole, so he could be referred to as Don Master Cole.

He doesn't bother introducing himself, so I settle on "Don Cole" for short.

The nickname is silly-DMC!

"Nancy," Dad adds with a smirk.

'Nancy' is my legal name, though I haven't heard anyone use it in years. When I started school, a few kids shortened my name to Nan. Others just assumed it was Nan and I never corrected them.

Eventually, it's what everyone was calling me, even Dad.

Which makes me wonder, why is he using my full name now?

"I can assure you in all ramifications that she's worth her weight in gold," Dad adds.

I guess that explains it. Nancy is this expensive spice that used to be as valuable as gold if measured by weight. Like, if you wanted to buy a pound of Nancy, it would cost you a pound of gold. That sort of thing. Pretty cool, huh?

Mom was the one who picked out my name. I still remember how she'd call me her little treasure.

Of course, Dad has to go and ruin that memory by constantly telling me that if Mom could see me now, she'd regret calling me Nancy, since I'll never amount to much. I still like the name though, even if no one actually uses it anymore. It's the only reminder I have left of my mom.

"And I should care, why?" DMC growls, bringing me back to the present. His jaw is tense, a vein in his forehead is throbbing, and his hands are clenched into fists. He does not look happy. What could be his problem?

I start to worry that he's about to take his anger out on me, not just Dad, so I assume an exaggerated Submissive Wolf pose.

It's a self-defense move Dad taught me that makes me look non-threatening. It's supposed to trigger a Wolf's protective nature, dampening their urge to attack. I have triggered a Wolf's protective nature, dampening their urge to attack. I've practiced it on Dad-and succeeded- enough times to be an expert.

Furthermore, I hunch my back slightly, making sure not to make eye contact, and emit a whimper. DMC's expression softens briefly, but for him, it's just a dominant Wolf Master instinct that he easily suppresses because all the anger is back moments later.

"Explain yourself!" DMC demands.

I was kind of wondering, too. Why would Dad suddenly start praising me when he always says he hasn't a clue why Mom named me Nancy?

Dad's shower of praises keeps me wondering what's up. He doesn't behave like this to me. As he continued speaking, he asked us all to sit down and hear the reason we are all here

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
