Kayla's POV. His eyes darted towards me relentlessly, stealing glances with every passing second as he skillfully drove the car. Truth be told, a growing unease enveloped me in the claustrophobic confines of his presence, an evident fear gnawing at the edges of my composure. The rhythmic hum of the engine echoed my racing heartbeat, amplifying the tension that hung thick in the air. I clenched my fist, the fabric of my dress crumpling beneath the force, desperately attempting to maintain composure. I willed myself to stand strong, praying that Alpha Reynolds would cease his relentless gaze. Yet, in the depths of my hopeful musings, a stark reality emerged; who was I kidding? His eyes continued their stealthy dance, stealing glances that intensified the internal struggle. Questions swirled in my mind like a tempest, demanding answers to the reason for his persistent stare at me. The pretence of composure shattered within me, the weight of acting ignorant becoming unbeara
Kayla's POV."Kayla, you should..." Alpha Reynolds was going to say, but instantly, my instincts kicked in, and I found myself reacting swiftly to his words."I think I'll be on my way now! Thank you so much for the ride, Alpha!" I bowed my head immediately, and turning around, I opened the door and ran out of the car before he could utter another word to me.I noticed he climbed out of his car to chase after me, but I was already far gone before he could stop me. I burst into the house, and instantly, darkness engulfed me instantly. Slamming the door shut, I leaned against it, my chest rising and falling as I struggled to catch my breath. A mix of shock and amazement filled me, leaving me on the edge of anticipation for what had just transpired."What just happened?" My eyes bulged out as I tried to get a hold of myself. I was still in a state of self-reflection when, unexpectedly, the lights came on and his voice followed. "What are you doing?""Ahhh!" With a sudden jolt, I let o
Kayla's POV."Stay focused, Kayla... no matter what. The Alpha wants nothing but to use you!" I declared as I tried reminding myself about what had happened last night in the car.Without hesitation, I grabbed my bag, and with my grip tightening on the strap, I exited the room and headed for the exit of the house.Willson went to work because he had to sign an important contract, and I totally understood why.Despite the passage of time, it remained unmistakable in his tone that he harboured lingering irritation towards me for the events that happened between Alpha Reynolds and myself the previous night.Getting to the door, I swiftly left the house, locked the door, and stopped a cab. As I embarked on my journey to the company, a knot of anxiety and fear intertwined with a blend of excitement surged through my veins, leaving me perplexed about the underlying reasons behind these intense emotions.A sudden surge of eagerness enveloped me as the thought of seeing Alpha Reynolds crosse
Kayla's POV."Where else, Kayla? I am taking you to the hospital! I can't stand the thought of my assistant being down with a fever!" He asserted possessively as his grip on my hand tightened, making me get so stunned for a split second.If there was anything I was expecting, it definitely wasn't the scene of Alpha Reynolds storming into my office to drag me out of it like he owned me.Like Ava never existed and that we've been in love for a long time now.Without a second glance at me, he turned his stare towards the exit of the office, and instantly, he dragged me out of the office.As we headed for the exit of the company, I couldn't help but get so embarrassed and silently bullied too at the judgmental sight of everyone that saw Alpha Reynolds holding my hand.I swallowed anxiously as I stared back at them, but not for too long because, trust me, it was horrifying and scary.It felt as though I had claimed their Alpha to myself, and they weren't going to get him from me anymore w
Kayla's POV. "Who are you?" I questioned, my fist tightly clenched, my gaze fixated on her from where I stood near the door. The smirk lingering on her lips spoke volumes, confirming a singular truth; she was not just a stranger; she was unmistakably my enemy, and the air crackled with tension as I awaited an answer. "Why don't you come sit, and I'll tell you exactly who I am?" She sneered, producing a syringe. As she scrutinised it, I couldn't help but nervously swallow, sensing an impending revelation that left me on edge. She paused momentarily, redirecting her gaze towards me. Another smile crept across her face, but this time, it bore a vicious edge. The suspense hung in the air, intensifying the tension in the room. "Don't test my patience, Kayla... Take a seat while I handle the Alpha's secret lover!" She declared abruptly, causing an immediate furrow in my brows as I grappled with the sudden statement. "And what is that supposed to mean?" I inquired, taking a tentati
Reynolds' POV.Witnessing Kayla in the clutches of another man, another werewolf, suddenly triggered an overwhelming surge of anger, fury, and bitterness within me.How the fuck was she being held by someone else when I was standing before them? How the fuck could I just let another man take away the one person my heart races for because he claims he was her friend?Right from the first day I met Willson, I disliked him, and letting him control Kayla was never going to happen.In a swift motion, I reached for Kayla's wrist, pulling her back to myself. She drew closer, her hand resting on my chest, and her eyes locked intensely onto mine. In that moment, a thrilling possessiveness surged, creating a charged atmosphere between us.Locking eyes, I couldn't ignore it: the burning intensity in her gaze, fueled by a desire and rage to possess me as well.But I wasn't sure at this point if it was genuine or if I was just hallucinating."Let her go now, Alpha!" Willson's voice suddenly inte
Reynolds' POV."Don't push this discussion any further, Mr. Willson!" I warned as my eyes gazed at him, and just then, I saw it in his eyes.It was obvious that he had given up, and that was what I wanted all along. For him to quit acting so childish and let me have the one I needed and cherished so much.Besides, there was no way I could let anything happen to Kayla, not when I was deemed to just protect her and keep her safe."That's better!" I scoffed as my grip on Kayla's wrist tightened, and instantly, I dragged and pulled her away from Willson's sight.He was furious, but he dared not push any further, just as I had warned him. It was best if he just stayed still without coming after Kayla anymore.We left the hospital, and as we reached my car, I opened the door for Kayla and let her get in. She seemed chilly and didn't utter a word to me.I wasn't sure what she was thinking about, but my inner wolf made me realise that it must have been something that Willson had said inside t
Reynolds' POV.Getting to the company, I couldn't help but be welcomed by the chilling atmosphere that surrounded the environment.Everyone had left, and it was already late at night. It was vacant too, and from how Kayla stomped, I knew that she was scared."Here… " I pulled my hand out of my pocket as I stretched it towards her."Take my hand if you are scared!" I stated, but then she retorted my offer, which hurt my ego."I'm fine, Alpha Reynolds!" She bowed her head before she walked past me and headed for the elevator.I clenched my hand and scooped it back into my pocket while I walked right behind her.Soon, we got to my office, and the second I opened the door, I turned on the lights. Because Kayla was acting strange, I didn't bother to say a single word to her; instead, I walked over to my desk and began to search for my file, which Beta Luke forgot to get."Where the fuck did he leave it?" I grumbled in uncertainty as I struggled to find it on my desk.It was becoming so fr
