Kayla couldn’t believe her eyes, or what was happening. In only a matter of minutes, she had gone from being married to a mysterious wealthy alpha, with crazy demands in his contract, to….Oliver.Shock and surprise didn’t even cut it for what she had felt when she had seen that damn paper. It was the shortest contract she had ever seen in her whole life, and straight to the point.“I mean, you should be thankful for my offer, instead of being dramatic, given the way you have been treating me since you got here.” Oliver hissed, flipping his had over his hair and licking the ground, before putting some more distance between the both of them.“Are you being serious right now? I should be grateful? You waltz into my fathers study with a contract, asking me to work for you, and live with you, in exchange for h loving my father with the necessary funds he needs to get back on his feet? How the hell am I being dramatic, given that for each offer made to my father lately, I have to be the one
Kayla watched Oliver look down at the file and pen down his own signature, which concluded the whole process, then watched as he stood up and extended his hand to her father for a hand shake. “I guess I can say that it was nice doing business with you, Dawson.” Oliver said, clasping her fathers hand in his, and shaking it firmly.“I mean…yeah.,” her father replied in a low voice, turning to Kayla to nod at her.“Kayla?” Oliver was looking at her with something in his eyes that kayla did not exactly recognize. “Left to me, you should be packing your belongings now and leaving with me this instant, but I’ll give you until tomorrow, just to say goodbye to your family.” He said to her. She could hear the mockery in his tone as they both knew that there was absolutely no need for all those formalities as she had a nonexistent relationship with her family.“Okay, then.” Kayla replied, stepping out from between the chair and the table. She stood there, until Oliver had left, and it was her
Oliver walked into his bedroom, tired as hell. The moving back and forth from Kayla’s, to his place, was quiet stressful, and he was glad it was going to be all over by morning, when he went back to pick her up.Oliver smirked at himself for being able to pull off what he did. It was crazy. He was aware, but it didn’t dispute the fact that Kayla was now at his mercy.He had contemplated earlier on asking her to reject that stupid ex mate of hers, just so that any little ties they had, was going to be severed, but he knew that that was only going to be of a disadvantage yo him.Oliver felt Damon before his door was opened, and his brother walked inside, looking like he was about to murdering someone.“You should learn how to knock, man.” Oliver hissed, rolling his eyes as he pulled off his shirt and threw it in the hamper. Having Kayla around, meant he was soon going to have to change the lock on his bedroom door so he could lock the damn thing in peace, without having to fear for his
“You see, the first offer about me getting married to that man, whoever it was, didn’t work out. I don’t know what happened. I’m not sure if he withdrew his offer, or if my father suddenly had a change of mind, or if it was because Oliver came with a better offer. But one moment I was going through the crazy contract, and the next minute, my father, and Oliver. We’re walking through the door of the study.” Kayla said in one breath. Then inhaled as she paused, “Wait.,,.what!?” Jasmine afield with her eyes wide like saucers. “”I thought you said that Oliver had made an offer before to your father, which he promptly refused, and it was too outrageous?” A curious Jasmine asked, unable to hide the confusion on her face and in her tone.“Well, that was what I was told. And this time around, he offered to give my father all he needed to pay his debts and bring the company back to its feet. And on one condition.” Kayla said, then quickly corrected herself. “Two conditions.” “Amd what are th
Kayla pulled the suitcases behind her, intent on carrying her things to Oliver’s car herself, even if the pack hands had offered to help. She wasn’t going to forget easily, that just the previous night, they had turned their back on her like she was some kind of commoner, regardless of who had asked them not to serve her.“Thank you, Kayla.” Her father said, sparing her one of his rare smiles that was never reserved for her. Ever. “Good bye.” Kayla returned, hoping she didn’t have to come back to this place, even if she knew that that was way way impossible to achieve, given the fact that her father was alpha, and that reluctantly, he had reinstated her back to her place. From behind him, Kayla could see her mother, and Bella, standing at a far distance, just staring at her as Jasmine walked past them with her own bags in tow. Dean also stood behind his wife, giving her a look that made Kayla uncomfortable.She wasn’t going to lie, it had felt so good to hit him like she did, and se
“Is this how quickly she sleeps, and even with all this noise?” Oliver asked in a whisper as Damon walked past him to unbuckle Jasmine’s seatbelt, and e remove her headphones, before scooping her out of the helicopter, and into his arms. Oliver almost snickered at the way Damon sniffed her and have Kayla a questioning look that’s as filled with amusement.Kayla blushed. Something that had been happening a lot since they had left the territory. “I mean, I guess she may have had a sip or two from my father’s library when she had gone to return some books.” Kayla confessed, it looking at Oliver, but at Damon who just laughed and shook his head, adjusting Jasmine’s weight in his hands.“I guess I can understand why she had fallen asleep, even when an eye candy like me had been around:” and then he was gone, leaving Oliver and Kayla alone, just a feet away from the helicopter.Oliver allowed the silence to last long enough between them, before opening his mouth to speak. Only , Kayla did
“But…” Kayla wasn’t even sure what she wanted to say, or ask, so she locked her lips and tried to focus.Oliver raised a brow. “But?” He prodded, leaning back against the door. A position which was supposed to be totally harmless, but to Kayla, looked like he was stringing a pose for a women’s magazine.He was putting on a pale white shirt that could have filled out his skin, but still managed to enhance it, coupled with the incredible tan he got on. Then ink black pants, with equally black boots. Every inch and alpha. A sharp contrast to the equally good looking version of him she was accustomed to. The office version.“You didn’t say anything about going to hotels or all of those things you mentioned.” Kayla managed, after minutes of thinking about what to say, and how to say them coherently.“You live with, and work for me.” He said, emphasizing on each word. “So you have to do with me, everywhere, and when I want you to. It’s part of your job, Kayla. You know.,.the..hotels and al
Oliver looked at Lucas with a raise eyebrow. “What do they want from us now? Is it not enough that the security here is totally in our hands?” He asked, completely worn out, even if it was not even afternoon yet. The weather was a bit gloomy and had come with a lot of wind, making him wonder when it was just going to rain. He like the rain. Sometimes.“I don’t know man. They are hosting an auction, and they extended an invitation to us.” Damon said for his position at the far end of the small conference room, where he busied himself with munching on some chocolate candies, alone. “And what is the reason why the two of you can’t go, again?” Oliver asked, eyeing the both of them as he looked from one brother to the other, then back to the other, waiting for the very corny excuses they had come up with.“I have this weekend trip planned with Jasmine. Everything is already booked and paid for. I can’t cancel on her like that.” Damon said with a shrug, tossing a candy into his mouth.Oliv
Two days later….Oliver groaned as he made his way down the stairs making sure to avoid any kind of confrontation with either his siblings, or anyone at all.He past couple of days had been hell for all of them. After the whole saga with Laura, Damon had called her father, and a new agreement had been signed, just to keep her away. Turns out she didn’t want him. Apparently, Frank Richardson was deep in debt, and Laura as usual, had come to stir trouble.“Oliver.” A soft voice called from behind. Making him turn around to see who it was. Hell, he didn’t even need to turn to know who it was.“Don’t tell me not to go, Jas. I simply can’t stay away anymore.” He said, swallowing hard as he placed his shaking hand into his pocket and tries not to look at the friend of the woman he loved.Jasmine laughed lightly. “Actually, I was coming to tell you to go to her. My friend can be quite stubborn at times, but I think she has gotten enough space to last her a lifetime.” Jasmine said, then whist
It took Kayla being dragged to the back of an alleyway to come to a screeching halt, pulling her hand away from Dean. “What the fuck do you think you are doing, Dean?” Kayla gasped, hair flying as she rubbed her sore arm. “Where did you even come from?” She already had a bigger problem to deal with, and he thought he could just materialize from nowhere? “I just wanted to talk to you.” Dean said softly, stepping back and running his fingers through his hair why Kayla watched. And for the first time since he had pulled her away from the front of that office building, she allowed herself look at him.Really look at him.And what she saw was far from the Dean she had known and grown up with. He loooked a mess. A hot mess. “And what do you want to talk to me about? I thought I made things clear to you on the phone?” Kayla not out, looking around discreetly to see if there was an exit from the alleyway apart from the one which he had put himself in front of.There was.Thank goodness.Dea
Kayla followed Jasmine outside and into the elevator as they continued to chatter about what Jasmine envisioned her dream wedding to be like. “You know I like my things sparkly and girly. I’m not gonna miss any of that on my wedding day!” Jasmine proclaimed, raising her voice a little in the empty elevator as it closed.Oliver had texted her that he was about thirty minutes away, and had asked her to come down to meet him in the parking lot, since there was no time to meet each other in the office because heading to their destination.So Jasmine had asked her to accompany her to her office where Kayla was to help her organize while she waited for Oliver. “Well, you know what suits you, ma’am.” Kayla laughed, waiting as the elevator started it’s journey down to Jasmines floor.The doors opened with Jasmine mocking Kayla. “As my chief bridesmaid, you would wear a silver sparkiling dress with orange shoes. My wedding needs to he aesthetically pleasing. And you won’t be left out!” She was
Kayla was smiling when she roused from the satisfying sleep she had had the previous night. She blinked as she stared at the ceiling which faced her directly, trying hard to quench the inflow of memories that came at her the moment she opened her eyes. She had been so close to confessing her love for Oliver the previous night. So close!With a sigh, she pushed the blanket off of her, and got off the bed, stopping briefly when her sore muscles hummed deliciously from how much she had used them the previous night. But admist everything, she couldn't help but remember something that had plagued her mind at different moments of the night.They hadn't used protection. And they hadn't made love only one. Or even just on the rooftop.Oliver had taken her back to the bedroom, and proceeded to show her what she had been missing in the bedroom all this time she had tried to put didtance between the both of them. As she got into the bathroom, Kayla couldn't help but rub at her belly, while she s
Kayla pulled herself up on the slab, feeing nicely sated, but not to the extent she wanted, as there was still a throbbing inside of her that she had not yet satisfied.She said nothing as she reached out for Oliver’s neck, wrapping her fingers around it and pulling him down for a kiss. It was short, but lasted long enough to give her the energy and tingling she craved. And the taste of herself on his lips, drove her crazy.Never in her life would she have thought that she would taste her own juices. Well, until Oliver.Once she let go, pulling away, and pushed him slightly away from her, seeing him frown in confusion as she got down from the slab and was on her knees before he could even do anything to stop her. That is , if he would.“What are you_” Oliver asked, when his brows rose in realization as to what she was doing.With her abilities, she had him turned, so he was now leaning on the slab, while she was fumbling with the zipper of his trousers.It was fairly easy to pop open
When Kayla kissed him, Oliver had been a bit taken aback, but quickly recovered by pulling her closer to him, and inclining his head to the side so he could deepen the kiss. 'Please lock te doors that lead to the rooftop, and make sure nobody interrupts, Benedict.' Oliver said to his sentinel, who happened to be Kayla's driver and bodyguard some days, using the packlink. He could hear the exact time the doors locked, and heard Benedict take a stance just inside the door. 'You don't need to stay that close! And dim the lights.' 'Yes, Alpha.' there was amusement in his tone when he replied, before walking away from his position, to somewhere a bit farther down. Good. Oliver thought. H e didn't want the pack hearing of his shinanigans on the roof. Kayla moaned against his mouth, just as the partially bright lights, deemed. "Oh.." She aid, pulling away from the kiss, just to look around for a few seconds. "Did you do that?" Kayla asked, running her hands up and down his chest. Even thro
Kayla tensed at not just what he had said, but how serious im he sounded. From the distance, she could hear how quiet everywhere had gone. It was like it was just them around, with no one to interrupt. And somehow, she liked it.She and her Alpha, in their own world. Her alpha…What was she thinking calling him hers?“Kayla… about the deal I made with your father..” the way he trailed off, had her tensing up the more.What happened to the deal? Was he going to tell her he wasn’t interested in helping again, and wanted to withdraw his funding? Was that it?“Yes? I’m listening..” Kayla prompted shakily, but managed to hold her voice.Oliver leaned forward. “I’m tired of pretending Kayla. That contract….it’s void. Never existed in the first place. It was just a farce made up by me to keep you here_” his words were cut off, by Kayla lifting herself off her seat and into the air with such speed that she felt a bit dazed.If not for her wolf, she was sure she would have face planted on the
Kayla wasn’t sure why, but she felt like something was off with Oliver, the moment he came up and joined her on the rooftop.She had been standing there for a while, and staring in awe at the sight before her, unable to believe that he had in fact, prepared this for their dinner. It looked like something out of the movies.“You look beautiful.” Oliver said, walking over to where she stood, and extending a hand to her.Kayla blushed. “And you look good too.” Compared to her, Oliver straight up looked like he had walked out of the men’s runway in Paris or something. With the dark wool shirt on top, and the jeans, he looked so good. And those boots too…dang..She on the other hand, and argued with Oliver’s stylist who had just happened to be waiting g for her once she had come back from work, and had won. She had almost made him cry, but hell…And now she regretted it, because her low heel shoe, and flared midnight blue dress, was nothing compared to him. And her hair too that had been p
Flashback... Oliver made his way down the stairs for the fourth time that evening, smirking to himself as he anticipated what was to come tonight. It was his twentieth birthday, and his family had pretty much outdone themselves in preparation of what was being described as the coming of age of the century. At first, it was meant tobe a surprise. But how do you surprise an alpha's son? He had pretty much heard the very first conversation they had had about the party, and had made himself visible, unable to hold his excitement. "Oliver! Can you please get me a scissors on your way back? This one is broken!" Darcy called from somewhere outside. Oliver groaned. He should have stayed out of it when he had first heard about their plans.Oliver picked up the scissors and was making his way downstairs when Laura suddenly blocked his path, grinning from ear to ear.“I got you a birthday present.” Laura said almost immediately, pushing a box to his chest.The force of the shove almost had him
