ALLISON'S POV

I sighed, attempting to focus on the meeting that Chase had insisted I attend. As his assistant, it was my duty to follow him wherever he went, whether I liked it or not. I didn't have much of a choice, considering the consequences if he were to fire me. The thought alone was unsettling, as it would leave me homeless in no time.

But back to the meeting. It was incredibly frustrating. The men couldn't resist throwing sideways glances in my direction, and it was starting to grate on my nerves. Part of me wanted to walk away, but doing so would not only embarrass me but also reflect poorly on Chase. I didn't want to give him another reason to scold me. I had already endured enough of his condescending remarks, treating me like a six-year-old.

I had chosen not to speak to him after the stunt he pulled earlier in the office. Although I couldn't entirely blame him, as I had consented to it, I didn't expect Chase to push me into something I didn't want to do. However, I couldn'

    AllisonWhether Chase heard me or not, he certainly didn't acknowledge it. He pulled me out of the car and hoisted me over his shoulder as I desperately tried to escape."Chase!" I exclaimed, thumping his back and shouting profanities. "Let me go, you bastard!""Do you want to do this the hard way?" he muttered.My face flushed as I felt his hand hovering over my buttocks."You're taking me against my will. You're abducting me and making completely inappropriate advances!"Chase set me down, and I narrowed my eyes at him. He shrugged, moving closer.His hand gripped my chin, and I scoffed. "I don't know why you brought me here, but you should know I have the right to file an assault case against you!""What if I told them you're my wife? Would that change anything?" Chase asked, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes.A gasp echoed through the hall, and I widened my eyes as I noticed eight pairs of unfamiliar eyes fixated on us.Eight pairs of eyes that I had completely overlooked.S

    CHASE POVAllison stood by the door, her eyes alert. She seemed as if I might suddenly grab her and throw her onto the bed, taking her forcefully. Although that thought briefly crossed my mind, I preferred her to approach me willingly. Forcing her into something she didn't desire was not what I wanted.As for the earlier announcement I had made, even I was taken aback by it. I had never expected to utter those words. It was something that had never crossed my mind before. I never wanted to mate with Allison. It was evident that we weren't right for each other. She appeared to be the kind of woman who sought more, while I wasn't inclined to fulfill all her desires; in fact, that was why I had refrained from marking her.I wasn't bothered by her rejection.Admittedly, this might have been a foolish decision, but I had wanted to avoid a scenario where she demanded more than I could provide. However, the reality was that she was the cursed child from the moon, and currently, she was my on

    CHASE POVI scoured the surroundings for a while, releasing a growl as a new yet familiar scent infiltrated my nostrils. Having canceled my appointment with Sharon, I sensed danger in the air. I lingered by the woods before eventually making my way back home. Whoever had been stalking me remained in the vicinity, but I was cautious about exposing myself.While I wasn't precisely vulnerable or capable of dealing with anyone who crossed me, I harbored doubts that the threat was solely human.Approaching the door, I narrowed my eyes upon hearing rustling from the shrubs a few feet away. My ears perked and twitched, and a low growl escaped me as the intruder leaped out of concealment. A large grey wolf with gleaming red eyes stood before me. Assuming a defensive stance, I observed that it was not alone."Who the hell are you?!" I growled, my eyes narrowing further. I attempted to probe their mind, but my gift chose the most inconvenient time to falter.Just my luck, I mused with an eye ro

    CHASE POVI stared at the door for a long moment, then shook my head. Convincing Allison was never going to be easy; I knew that much. But I was determined to keep trying.A sharp wince escaped my lips, and I pressed a hand to my side where it ached. Glancing down, I saw my shirt was quickly soaking through with blood."Damn it!"I had really done a number on myself. It wasn't often that I took a hit in a fight, but going up against about twenty werewolves, that was bound to happen."Twenty damned werewolves," I muttered, standing up and making my way to the small bar by the bed. I poured myself a whiskey, then peeled off my shirt and poured some of the liquor onto the wound.Gritting my teeth, I examined the injury. Steam trickled out of it, and it was already starting to form an ugly purple bruise.It hurt like hell, but I had a feeling it wasn't the only thing hurting. My heart was heavy, too. Convincing Allison felt like an impossible task.I wondered how much longer I'd have to k

I realized I was still in Chase's room and that I had fallen because he accidentally kicked me.Chase was currently tossing and turning on the bed, his hands gripping the duvet and his mouth slightly open. I furrowed my brows, leaning in to try and understand what he was saying, but all I could make out was, "No, no, no!"He was definitely having a nightmare, I thought. Reaching out to smooth his brows, I winced as his skin felt hot to the touch. His fever had gotten much worse.I walked towards the bathroom, grabbed a bowl, filled it with water, and took a towel before returning to him. Dipping the towel in the water, I squeezed it out before placing it on his forehead. It seemed to calm him down for a few seconds before he started again. This time, he groaned loudly, shifting uncomfortably in bed.I reached out to touch his shirt t

When I raised my shirt, I saw nothing but unusual purple patches.Lowering my shirt again, I surveyed the large, empty room surrounded by windows. A loud noise shattered my thoughts, making me wince. I stepped toward the window as it subsided.My eyes widened at my surroundings."The ocean?" I exclaimed, disbelief flooding me. There was no way I could have been transported here. One minute, I was in the bathtub, writhing in pain with Allison in front of me. The next, I was in a field, then the wind came, and suddenly, I was in the middle of the ocean."It's what your mind makes it seem," a voice said, and I turned to see who had spoken.A woman stood before me, her silvery hair flowing as if the wind was whipping through it, though the room was still.

    ALLISON POVMy gaze was still locked on the mark on my wrist and on Chase's stomach. It glowed even brighter, leaving a tingly, strange sensation that spread through me. I glanced at Chase again, only to see him staring at himself. Then, he glanced at me before his gaze wandered to Artemisia."Allison being my mate, I'm certain of. But reincarnation? Not so sure," he said, then he gripped my hand that was still holding onto his shirt. He intertwined our fingers, making me roll my eyes."What do we do? Is it something dangerous?" I asked Artemisia, whose eyes were locked on our intertwined hands. A smile formed on her face, and she shook her head.I tried to remove my hand from Chase's grip, but he wouldn't let go, so I relented."Like I said, I can give him something he can use temporarily to ease his pain," she said. "As for the second question, the Nyxbane is very dangerous. It's a destructive force and can slowly kill even the strongest alpha.""Are you saying there's no cure? If C

    ALLISON POV"What can I get you?" I asked as Artemisia and Julie settled on the sofa in the living room."Get?" Artemisia asked. "Silly, we're not strangers.""I am, and I'm famished," Julie groaned, rubbing her stomach for emphasis. "Can I have some lamb chops, a white wine, Chardonnay to be precise, and maybe some vanilla cake for my sweet tooth?""Isn't that the same thing Laurent got for you yesterday?" Artemisia asked, her brows raised."L-Laurent who?" Julie snorted, rolling her eyes. "Who is that, by the way?""Julie!" Artemisia scolded playfully, making Julie shrug."So, you're fucking my brother," I interrupted, my nose wrinkling.Julie flushed a deep shade of red and shook her head. "Never. He's a skirt chaser.""Of course, everyone knows he fucks whoever wears a skirt. And any human or werewolf who gets involved with him will regret it." I stated."He's not that bad," Julie defended.Okay, for one, I knew Julie had a thing for Laurent. I had seen how they both acted towards
