The week passed by in a blur and for the first time in a long time, she felt herself relax, even at work. She arrived early, opened the building herself and made herself some coffee for the first time in forever. She took stress away from her employees, and felt a good nature come over her, she decided to shift hours a little bit. She shocked everyone with new work hours. She gave everyone the option of a one-hour lunch break or standard thirty minutes plus, two fifteen-minute stress breaks. New end times were posted in the community lounge. Workday would end at 3 pm. Giving people ample time to finish their day and return home to their families rather than working until 6 pm. Velaria also put into place new raises at the beginning of the year “Each year, an employee shares an anniversary to this company, rather than receiving your raised of fifty cents, new raise program will award each employee on their anniversary a dollar raise” “Staff will now receive a Christmas bonus of up t
I run to my office, and lock the door, I squat onto the floor and sit for a while trying to control my sobs. I never thought that I would see him again. I need to get away, and I need to cancel this arrangement if he works for Salkton industries. I cannot risk my life. I hear a knock on the door, and I refrain from answering it. My secretary is knocking frantically, asking if I am okay. I hear Mr. Salkton in the hallway, he sounds livid, he is demanding to know what happened, and why I ran from the room like I was being attacked after meeting Mark. I hear him growling at Mark, the bastard is silent, not saying a word. What could he possibly say? I knew her in college and tried to murder her in a barn in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, that would go down well. I do my best to dry my tears and I request my secretary to call my friend Tiffany. She was my best friend in college, and the first friend I had after moving here. Tiffany would remember Mark; she will help me like she did last t
(Alpha Shaemus)I stood there on the sidewalk watching her leave. This entire day is not what I ever expected. I had been so excited to see her. Ever since I met her in that club, I had this feeling deep inside that she was my mate. My wolf would not let me rest, the minute we noticed her in that night club, we wanted to do nothing more than bring her home, and show her who we are, how she could belong to us. How we would love her for eternity, I do not care what anyone might think if she might be human, she’s mine!I was so looking forward to this meeting, I thought it would bring us together, and I could try warming myself up to her. After she left me alone the other day like forgotten luggage, I was pretty pissed. I knew she owned the company when I met her, I had done my research, I just could not stop myself from wanting her that night. Especially now when I have a feeling, she is my mate, can’t let her go. I want to work with her so, we can get to know each other. How did this m
My wolf wanted to break free and tear our Beta apart. How could he! He said it was a rogue attack, he also said they were barely dating! I wrap my arms around her to soothe her. She dried her tears “you know you remind me of my mate and husband, I miss him so much”“Where is he, I could help you find him” “You’re sweet, he is in the Elysian fields, he died a long time ago in the earthquake which destroyed my city. You see, in my kingdom, we have the chance to meet our mates early in life though, unlike werewolves, we do not entertain sexual notions. Once we discover our mates, if we are very young, marital arrangements will be prepared for one day when we are of age to be together. I happened to meet my mate when I was fifteen, a little older but still, he was a member of the royal guard, and he was older than I was. It happens at times for a girl that the mate may be older so, the custom is still the same, he would have had to be more friends with me than anything sexual or romantic
I left her apartment and, found myself going back to my pack, I needed to formulate a plan to find my Luna and bring her home before anyone else claimed her. I stepped into my private Jet, Mark met me there, he had a smirk on his face that I really did not want to see right now. I could not contain myself anymore, I lunged for him and started to beat his face in. “Shaemus! What the fuck!” “That is Alpha to you! Tell me you did not do it?!”“What has gotten into you!” Other pack members who had come along with us were approaching us carefully"Tell Me! You did not nearly kill an innocent girl in college! Then, lie to all of us saying that it was a rogue attack!”“you don’t understand, she’s a pathetic human whore!” I growled at him, his words were confirmation. I started hitting him again!“No, you do not date a girl, and even get engaged to someone, then try to kill them! I do not give a shit if you found out Shelly was your mate! That is not how it is done!” “What was I supposed t
(Velaria)It has been two days since I first landed in Paris France. I can honestly say, it has been a dream being here. I never realized just how fun the world could be, how fun life could be once I actually allowed myself to live it. I have been to tour Versailles, I have been to tour The Notre Dame, The Bastille, and several other places that I never allowed myself the freedom to visit before. I am also fortunate that during High school and College, I took several different language courses, one of which being French. I can still remember everything I learned with ease so, communicating has been a breeze. During the day, I stop at a café and enjoy some bagels with cream cheese like I would have back home. Later during the evening, I make reservations at “Matignon” an elite dinner club in Paris. I enjoy succulent dishes of “es cargo” and “Chateau Fillet of beef Rossini” with some exquisite wine. I was in seventh heaven. I never realized how amazing France could be. I wish for the
I arrived in Germany, and I was so excited. Something only my family knows about, my Grandparents on my mother’s side are from Germany. They moved to America right before World War II with their parents. Apparently, they were neighbors, and had decided to flee Germany together. They had learned about America entering the war, feared for what might become of Germany so, they fled to America. I am so glad they did, and I am happy to be going to the land of their birth. During my flight to France, I told my parents about my world trip. They called over to my mothers cousins she has there. Herr Fredrick Scheffer my mothers uncle greeted me at the airport and helped me collect my bags. It is so good seeing him again. I have not seen him since I was a child, and we took a family vacation to Munich where he lives. I am happy to be returning someplace that feels like home. As we drive to his house, we speak together in German and catch up. He inquires on where I am in the world, how my life
As I walk down the street, I inhale the smells around me. I smell freshly brewed beer, sausages and sizzling in a restaurant somewhere accompanied by the divine smell of sauerkraut. All these gourmet tastes of deliciousness is making my mouth water. Everything smells so delicious. I decide to step into one of the local restaurants. I order food for my uncle and myself. I pay for everything and step to the side to wait for my order to arrive. As I chose a table to sit down, there is a man in the corner who appears to be watching me. His face is a mixture of shock and recognition. As if he knew me and had not seen me for a long time. When I can attest for myself that in all of my travels to my uncles city, I do not recall seeing this man before. The man looks like wants to say something but, stops himself. I chose to ignore him and wait for my food. Once my order is called, I exit the restaurant, and start to walk my way back home. I hear someone calling to me from behind, so I stop a
walked to Hades from behind. I placed my hand on his shoulder accepting my fate as his bride and queen. I saw Sheamus with a somber look on his face. I had a hard time believing we were going to be living together peacefully after this. I felt like he was signing his soul away, the soul of his pack to the devil himself. I couldn’t believe he was doing this for me! “Fucking shit! She really fucked me over!” “What is it?” I asked him when I saw him shaking in anger like he was staring at the moon like he was speaking with someone. “She said to leave her children alone, and do not tamper in her designated plans or she will banish me from this world! What’s worse is she called upon Hecate and Artemis! Hecate is goddess of witches! Hecate said they’ll imprison me in the underworld if I start a war with the Werewolves! Shit!” He said while glaring at the moon. “You fucking Bitch! You’re just like my brother!” He snarled. “My love do not anger her. I accept you as my King. I know you have b
I hugged Sheamus. I knew that I was not going to see him for a while. I loved him dearly. I hugged him until I felt it was time to let him go. “You’re leaving me?” he asked. “No, never, not anymore. I am not running away anymore. I can’t leave you.” I told him in a whisper while holding him. “Then, why do I feel like you’re saying goodbye?” he asked me. “I am for a brief time. I need to go with my father, to learn more about myself. You know of your culture, of werewolves, I need to learn mine. I know what I am now but, I don’t know anything more than that. All I know are stories, I need to see my culture, experience it but, I don’t want to give up the person I have become, I don’t want to give up you.” I tell him with tears in my eyes. “You’re destined to be his bride, it’s what you were born to be” he said with tears. “I was also destined to be your Luna as well, I have loved you since we first me, I just was too stupid to see it.” I told him with a smile. He smiled; he crashed his
I looked around and all the other pack members where looking at me in rage. I saw some of the she-wolves looking on with petty jubilation. One of them was looking at Sheamus with a sultry look. Almost like she was thinking “Finally Mine!” These slutty bitches are waiting for me to claim Hades and throw Sheamus into their waiting arms. It hurt to think of a life without Sheamus, it felt like we were bound together. I had no feelings for Hades except lustful passion. I weighed out my feelings for Sheamus against my desire for Hades, and even though I fully accept I was born to be his bride, my soul did not cling to him. I felt drawn to Hades through lust and passion, however, with Sheamus, there was something about us. Something that was drawing us to each other like a gravitational pull. Like the Universe was binding us together. Or was it his goddess Selene? I knew in that moment; I was not going back in time! I was not going to relive my life away from the one I had already built. If
We walk away from the office, and I make the decision there, I am done with running. I really have woken up after my time in the underworld. I was a bitch to Sheamus, and everyone else who just want to show me love and acceptance. I decide to move in with Sheamus. I want to become his Lune. I feel a voice inside of me echoing in the darkness “you’ll never know the power of your Pegasus if you move in with me. Come home my beloved, and I will show you the true power that fills your blood” I shivered at the sound. Something put a mental image in my head not only of what my Pegasus could look like but, Hades wrapping me up in his sheets, screaming my name for eternity. The fire inside of my soul feels like it grows as I think of it. I immediately feel like I am burning with passion but only for him. I feel like there is something that I need to do. I know Sheamus is going to hate it. I know he’s going to challenge me, and he is going to be broken after I said that I would never leave him
One month later…. I am back living my best life in New York. Nothing is the same as it was before I went on that Odyssey journey. Going from having a fun party life, to finding out Werewolves exist, finding out I am mated to an Alpha. Finding out, the truth about my past. Travelling the world trying to escape the Alpha only to come face to face with the man who has be a ever present reality in my wildest sexual dreams. God! What else is reality. To learn that, Hades! The god of the underworld is real! To learn Hell is real! And I was born to be his queen! It is too fucking much! Why did my mother curse me! Why did she send me away and doom her kingdom to death and destruction from Hades? I would not be who I am today if she had not done that, however, I would know who I truly am if she had just kept me. Fuck! She could have raised me then, sent me away! At least I would have known her, known my family! Not having nightmares of them all dying! So many thoughts plague me now. I do my be
I woke up for the second time; it feels like I have slept for hours. I open my eyes, and notice that no one is in the room with me. Now that I am alone, I step away from the bed. I have a chance to explore the room, and hopefully escape. I attempt the door and am a mixture of surprise and relief to find it open. Before leaving the room, I attempt to find my party dress. I am pissed when I find it torn to shreds! That dress cost me ten thousand dollars! I will have to buy a brand-new dress. I open a different door and find a wardrobe. Inside are rows of beautiful dresses. Some look ancient, like the Greek myths, some look more modern. I choose a emerald, green dress with lace sleeves and a sweetheart neckline that reaches towards my knees. My black heeled shoes from last night have survived and would go perfect with the dress. Once I am fully presentable, I creep away from the room. I look down the hallways, and oddly I feel as if I know this passage. Something in me is telling me that
I awake the next morning. I look around the room, there is no sunlight that shines in. Everything feels like it is bathed in darkness. There are no windows, just maroon covered walls. I attempt to move, and I feel constricted. A mans arm tightens its grip on me. Just when I thought I was having another erotic dream, and I was going to wake up to leave my hotel room, I get a splash in the face with fucking reality. Everything that happened last night was real. I am really fucked this time! How in the fuck am I going to escape this?! I do not have relationships! Never again! I squirm and I feel him nuzzle my neck. “Is my dove awake?” he says in a husky voice. I feel his hand move up towards my breast. My eyes roll in the back of my head as he starts to pinch and massage my breasts and nipples. He suddenly pulls hard on one of my perked buds and I cry out in ecstasy. "Hades!" I try to speak with him. "Cry out my name love, scream my name! I love it!" "Hades! Please!" I try saying again,

I ran from the nightclub. I was intent on getting away from that deliciously hot man. The same man who has been haunting my dreams. I feel as if I know him. I feel my essence reacting to him. Bending to his voice, and every will. I do not know what the fuck is happening with me but, I lately have not been in control of my sexual prowess as I normally am. I mean like what the fuck?! As I am walking down the street, I feel eyes on me again. This time it is different. This energy feels cold and deadly. Not heated like it wants to consume me in unending pleasure. I made it back to my hotel room. I finally begin to relax as I start to undress myself. I am undoing my dress when I hear a sensual voice from behind “Allow me my dove” I freeze as I feel hands unzipping me while caressing my back. I unleash a moan while my head falls back on his shoulder. “Do you know how long I have searched for you?” he whispered, “do you how long I have waited for you?” “Who are you?” I whisper while I wr
