Free Alpha Male Incorporated: Take Control by Marie Rochelle

their investment portfolios that could be used as an additional tool to reduce the risk to their portfolios being exposed. Using the amounts of diversification with profitable hedge funds could vary in money with multi-funds, multi-strategy, or a combination of the two or more which were very popular with the new investors she was trying to draw back.
    It was possible for her to commit to this one option or employ multiple ones to allow flexibility for risk management to achieve more diversified returns for the big money investors that used to be center of her family’s management firm.
    She wasn’t about to have dinner with Thorsten or anyone else until she figured out her new plan of action. She would spend the night here if it was needed to get done what she wanted.
    ****
    Thorsten glared at the phone in his hand before tossing it across the room onto a chair several feet away. Why was she being so… He didn’t even have the word for how his mate was acting toward him. Over the past several months—not days or weeks, but fucking months—he had been struggling to get Raya to see him as the man of her destiny.
    How could this be happening to him?
    He was Thorsten Irizarry. Women flocked to him the second he walked through the door but not the female who was destined from her birth to be at his side as his mate for the rest of her life. Raya actually taunted him by informing him of her date with another man.
    Who did she think she was playing with? She couldn’t allow herself to fall for another man. Life would end in a very painful and slow death for the unsuspecting soul who tried to take his rightful place in her life.
    Last night at Raya’s house, Thorsten was shocked by the amount of jealousy that had taken over him at seeing her with another man. It was so intense that he almost had him revealed himself to both of them.
    He gritted his teeth together to keep himself together, so he wouldn’t vanish over to her office and make another demand for her to cancel her date. Suddenly, an unspeakable thought hit him like a ton of bricks.
    What if Raya wasn’t only seeing this guy but was contemplating a future with him? If that happened, she would break the thin bond they still shared. He wasn’t used to having competition when it came to a woman’s attention. Hell, he was a vampire that meant his sex appeal was more dominant, stronger, and captivating to the opposite sex.
    Even as weak as it was, a tiny connection was there because he wouldn’t be able to push her buttons the way he did. Knowing what could occur to him if she got seduced into sleeping with another male shot him into action.
    Rushing over to his desk, he snatched up his car keys. He was going over to see her and wouldn’t leave until it was clear in her head that she belonged to no other man but him. Spinning around, he ran into Jax not standing five feet behind him.
    “Fuck!” he yelled. “Where in the hell did you come from? I thought you were at home with your wife.”
    “I was until I felt your anxious energy then read your thoughts. You aren’t going anywhere near Raya ramped up as you are. You need to take a breath and calm down. She will never respond to your tactics. I keep telling you it will only push her further away and eventually into the arms of another man who will be human, by the way.”
    Thorsten’s hand tightened around his keys hard enough to leave an impression, but he didn’t feel a thing. He was trying to keep from punching his bigger, faster, and more powerful cousin in the face. Jax might come off as laid back, but if anyone threatened his family the person would be dead within the blink of an eye.
    “Alright, if I don’t go there and stake my claim on her right now what do you suggest I do instead?” he demanded. “She’s going out on a date in a few hours with some guy. I don’t know, I’m guessing it’s the one named Alec, but I could be wrong,” he ground the words out between his teeth.
    “How do you
