~BREE~Zander was curiously looking at me while I joined the pieces together; I still couldn't believe I had the answer all this while.“You knew?” he asked, and I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and dismissed him. He tried to speak, but I told him to get out; I had to be a little rough.I turned to Isabella, who was surprisingly looking at me as if waiting for an explanation.“So?” She asked, and even though I trusted her, I couldn’t tell her this yet; I even refused to discuss it with Rain, and so I changed the topic.“Asher left.”“W-what?”“Raven said it's for some business, but I have a feeling he's hiding something.”“What, why?” Isabella seemed interested. “I mean, it's Asher; he never really opens up.”“Well, it's the least of my concern now. Jocelyn, I told you I met her at that couples resort Olivia booked, right?”“Yeah, but what's up with Asher? I mean, he's not fully a werewolf, so he can cheat.”“I honestly don’t want to talk about Asher right now; Zander also suspect
~BREE~I couldn’t believe it; King Levi was inviting me to the palace… me? But… but why?I rushed to where Isabella was and pushed her so I could see for myself, and she wasn't lying; King Levi was really inviting me to the palace, not only me but Asher too.“I don't understand.”“You should; I'm sure he has some important news to share.”“I know, but w-why did he send it to you?”“Because I'm your personal assistant.” She let out a nervous chuckle.“What?”“Ridiculous, right? Well, I just thought to make myself useful.” She awkwardly cleared her throat.“But you're already useful; you manage the employees of this company.”“You said I should prove my loyalty; this is me going the extra mile. Anyway, should I accept or decline?”“Ah, I will ask my husband.” I sarcastically said that and we started laughing.“Your husband?” She mocked, I only wanted to see if she had really moved past Asher. I mean, this was the same woman who did horrible things to me just so she could be with Asher.
~BREE~We were back at the pack; the car stopped about an hour ago, but I couldn't bring myself to come out. A lot was going on in my mind, and it seemed like I was at war with myself.Of course, that's the only reason she agreed to help, the only reason she forced me to employ Zander, even knowing he was my mate; she wanted to distract me, but what didn't make sense was that she didn't try to make a move on Asher.I mean, if she wanted Asher, she would try and win his heart, but she didn't; instead, she was there giving me advice on how to go about him, although it was starting to make sense, as today she told me Asher was incapable of love; I guess I had me to blame.“We can't jump to conclusions yet,” I said to myself, and then finally snapping out of my thoughts, I looked at where Antonio was earlier but saw he wasn't there anymore. I knew he had left; he was really a difficult person. Well, without wasting time, I opened the door and surprisingly met Raven, who seemed to have bee
~BREE~My eyes darted between Alma’s, as fear surged through my body. I don't know why I feared for Asher; I don't know what it was, but something I was sure of was: I couldn't let Asher get in trouble.“Alma, what is it?” I was tired of waiting.“It's not what you're thinking, but…” She cleared her throat. “The Blood Moons seem to be after him; they have sabotaged his business moves in the human world. He lost an important deal yesterday, and today his plane of goods crashed.” I knew what she was talking about; I knew Asher was involved in the dirty drug business. I knew that from the first day he purchased me, so I didn't need her to go into details on what goods.“And you think Alpha Blake is behind it?”“Alpha Blake has the same influential level in the human world, but it seems he has gotten Asher's enemies on his side.”“And they are the ones helping him take down Asher?” I joined the pieces together and she nodded: “Is… is it the reason he has been distracted lately?”“Yes, Ash
~BREE~I tried to keep Rain in because I've never allowed her to take over before, especially in this state. I don't know what she was capable of, so no matter how painful it was, I still tried hard and kept Rain in.‘Stop resisting.’ She insisted I had Tyler now off the ground as he was in the air with the support of no one's hands, as my hands were just in the air; it was obvious my other powers were at work too.I was going to ask him for the last time to tell me where Asher was when the door flew open and the person I was looking for came in.“What's going on here?” he asked, and I quickly rushed to him, leaving what I was doing, which made Tyler fall to the floor.“Asher?” I threw myself in his arms. He also had blood all over him, but I didn't care; I just wanted to hug him.“Don't worry, it's not my blood,” he said when he noticed I started examining him. With the bracelet Glinda made, we could be close, maybe even mate, but we haven't tried that.After Asher confirmed he was f
~BREE~I felt so heavy like I was under a ton of bricks. I tried to move, but I couldn't. I almost panicked until I felt the scent hit my nostrils; that's when I realized Asher was still there. It was early morning, so I didn't expect him to be still here.I knew he had his reasons, though, so I tried very hard and removed his body from mine without waking him up. Asher seemed in distress last night, so I knew rest would do him good.I got up, and as my eyes traveled to the couch, I saw the same black crow, the one from yesterday. God, I had forgotten that I was supposed to look into the book and figure it out. I palmed my forehead and turned to Asher, who scratched the back of his head, still in sleep.I rubbed my eyes before turning to the couch and saw that the crow was gone.At this point, I was confused as to whether it was all my imagination, but again I didn't have time to waste; I had to prepare something for Asher, so I walked to the bathroom and took a shower.After I was do
~BREE~“Ah.” I complained as I massaged my forehead, “Oh my god,” I gasped when what had just happened clicked in my head, “It was a vision...” I said in a low tone, “Zander and Isabella are sleeping together!” I said out loud as it all now made sense.Of course, that could be the only reason why Isabella wanted me to employ Zander even after she said he almost took advantage of her because they were together and she wanted him close.But still, it didn't make sense, as she's the one who gave me crazy ideas on how I would get back at Zander, so if they were together, why would she want to see him in pain?I swear nothing was making sense, but I was a witch. I didn't know how to use the magic yet, but I was sure I would find out. I will trick them into telling me everything. I mean, Zander wanted to meet me, right? Well, I might just get my answers in our small meeting.I was not that naive, Aubree. I had magic. I was a witch; witches were known to be manipulators, getting whatever the
~BREE~Asher wasn't kissing me back; he seemed to be shocked. But, that didn't stop me as I sucked his lip even more because it was only that that made it to be less painful.“Aah!” I moaned against his lips at the pressure building deep within my core; it was now beginning to burn as I held tighter onto Asher's back, my nails slightly digging into his flesh.I kept kissing him, now slightly biting his lips, which got a reaction as he started kissing me back, not rough but gentle. It's like he was stopping himself. I opened my eyes and saw that his eyes were closed; his hands were running through my back but shaky.I was suddenly feeling better, so I pulled away my eyes, watching his closed ones. I thought he would stop, but he didn't; instead, he searched for my lips, and when he got them, he started kissing me, this time roughly.I kissed him back as I started to feel funny again, and before I knew it, I was off the ground but on the counter table, my legs slightly spread while he w
~BREE~I didn't want to overthink it, so I asked.“I honestly don't know, but trust me, I will figure it out. I will set you free like you want,” he said, and I nodded and cleared my throat before I asked about Isabella.“I know something is going on between you two.”“Yes… it was… Honestly, I don't know how to say it.” God, it's like he was shy of me; I mean, I was just a slave, a useless omega a few months ago, so this still felt unreal.“So you admit?”“It happened twice, but I promise that was it; I've avoided her since.”“Okay, so what was your plan?”“No plan. I mean, all I can tell you is to be careful with her; don't trust her.”“Why?”“It's a long story, but…” He stopped and apologized before he picked up his ringing phone. “Are you sure?” He knitted his brows, which made me wonder what was happening. “Alright, stay there.” And with that, he ended the call and looked at me.“Is everything okay?” I asked.“Yes, umm, Stephan just saw Jocelyn enter one of the nearby hotels.”“W-
~BREE~Zander didn't say anything for a moment as if rethinking.“This is not funny. Who's after me?” I asked.“Okay, calm down.” He said, “I was just wondering, but there's nothing to worry about; I won't let anything happen to you.” He said, confusing me because the Zander I knew never cared about me.“What do you mean?”“You will not understand.”“Yes, if you don't tell me. What’s going on, Zander?”“Okay, I... I just thought Jocelyn might try and attack you, and I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” He scratched his head.“I can protect myself, and besides, my mate is very powerful,” I said before clearing my voice and asking him to start as he wanted to go first.“I want to start by apologizing. For what I did, I am genuinely sorry. If there was something you wanted me to do, even cutting my fingers, I would do it. I was a fool and deserve any punishment you deem worthy.” I don't know why I allowed him to finish, but there's something about speaking from the heart. Yes, his
~BREE~I knew it would happen; I had just forgotten, as the past few days I've been slowly practicing the magic, how it worked, and all the tricks. That's how I learned how to lift and safely lend objects with magic, so I knew how to stop it, so I did, which even stunned Glinda more.“Oh my god!” She hit her head as if trying to concentrate; she was in so much shock.I didn’t have words to defend myself; instead, I ran my hands through my hair.“You... you're powerful?” It sounded like a question, “And I think you know what you are? Are you… a witch? Yes…” She came in front of me and eyed me as if trying to read me. “You are?” she said, but luckily a knock was heard on the door, which made me turn to it and ask the person to come in.“Mrs. Clark, Mr. Conners is here.” It was my PA.“Oh yes, send him in.”“We... we are not done?”“Sorry, my meeting with Zander is very important.”“Are you kidding me? This is what's most important now: with such power usually comes enemies, your life…”
~BREE~The times I've encountered Glinda, there was no day she looked this nervous, so it got me wondering if something serious had happened.“Please sit,” I said as my PA closed the door, giving us privacy.“I prefer to stand. It’s serious.” She answered, and I nodded, then asked her to speak.“You said it’s about the last time. Did you discover something else? I mean, I thought you gave up working for Asher after I asked you to leave last time, but for you to come here must mean it’s serious.”“It is, but before that, I made something for you,” she said and then reached into her backpack. I watched closely as she brought out a bracelet; it looked like the one Asher had on, except this one had a purple crystal. “It’s customized for you.” She said, handing it to me.“Oh, thank… thank you.”“With it, you can be close to your mate, even mate with no pain; it holds the waves.” She added, and I smiled as I worked it on my wrist. “There’s something I wanted to ask you… it’s regarding your
~BREE~ I waited for Isabella to come in, and when I heard the door open, I slowly turned and looked at her. “Aubree, you called for me? How are you? Did anything happen?” “You do realize this is the CEO’s office, right?” “Yes, I—” “And you didn't knock before coming in; I didn't ask you to come in.” “Yes, I’m… I–” “You're, nothing.” I cut her off: “Let this be the last time something like this ever happens.” “O-okay.” She looked confused. Of course she was, for the past days I've allowed her to come in even without knocking; I've seen her as a friend. That's another reason I kept her around, but after what Antonio told me, I guess it was time to treat her just as she deserved. “Yes, I want you to check all employee information; I want to know where they live, their children, and everything.” “What?…” She chuckled in disbelief, “I mean, we don't even need to know their first names, let
~BREE~I still couldn't believe what had happened earlier; I don't think I would ever be able to get over it. Like, what came over me? And Asher, he said we would continue this in the evening, but the truth was I was not ready to mate with him. I know Rain wanted to; I've starved her for years, but no, I couldn't.I jumped out of the bed and walked to the closet. I needed to distract my mind right now before I lost it because I couldn't take Asher off my mind; it was silly, but it was like I was now obsessed with him.I wore my office clothes, and when I was done, I picked up my handbag and left.As usual, I met Raven in the living room; she seemed to be arranging everything. Well, Tyler mentioned he called one of the pack maids to clean, so there was no need for her to do this.“It's already clean; stop wasting your time,” I said, which made her jump, as she didn't sense I was there.“How are you, Luna?” she asked after clearing her voice. I only nodded and headed for the door while
