Chapter five.

Rhea opened her eyes, she felt so relaxed, her body laying on something so soft that it could keep her asleep for a long time, she sat up looking around. She was in a room, it was big and spacious with a bed, beside the bed was a dresser. It was painted in white, looks simple and nice.

She quinted her eyes as the light from the window shone on her face. It was morning, she walked into the bathroom, wow it was nice and clean, the painting were white, the tiles were white, everything in this bathroom was white, she took a brush and brushed her teeth then took a nice clean shower.

She stepped out of the bathroom, there was a mini desk area in front of the window, there was a neatly folded clothes on it. Rhea quickly put them on, it was a nice knee length dress, black in color, it was nice and fitting.

Rhea looked at herself in the mirror, her silver eyes catching her attention, she sighed, she remembered all that happened the day before.

She walked out of the room and descended down the stairs, she still admired the living area, it ten times bigger than her whole house in the village. 

"You're awake." Someone said and she turned to look at Kael. His back leaned on the edge of the dining table, he folded his arms, Rhea simply nodded not knowing what to say.

"Come sit." He said, Rhea walked towards him, he pulled out the chair and she sat on it, in front of her was a bowl of food, fried rice mixed with beef, there was a glass of water beside the plate.

Rhea picked up her spoon, the food looked very delicious, she took a first bite and was blown away, the mixture of flavours exploded in her mouth, within seconds she finished the whole plate.

"You must be really hungry, here." Kael said handling her a tissue paper, she took it from him then wiped her lips.

"Thank you." Rhea said in a low voice, just then Kieran walked down the stairs, everything about him screams perfection, the way he walks, he walked like as if he's the owner of this world, carrying himself with elegance.

He was dressed in black office trouser and white shirt, his black hair was styled nicely, some strands of hair falling down his forehead, he was a very handsome man and he knew it.

Rhea quickly looked away when he stopped in front of the table, he took a seat, his food in front of him. He after quietly, his scent quickly filling the room, he smell nice but there was something dangerous attached to it.

"What's your name?" Kael asked with a smile, Rhea some what knew she was going to be more comfortable with the brown haired guy, he looked nice.

"Rhea." Rhea said shortly. "You guys aren't humans." She added almost immediately.

"How can you tell?" Kael asked. "I feel it, a powerful aura emanating from you both." Rhea said.

"You're right, we are werewolves, I'm kael a beta and this is Kieran, he's the Alpha of our pack." Kael said, Rhea looked at Kieran, his name sounding oddly familiar. 

"Have you heard of it?" Kael asked and she nodded. 

"I have but I don't remember where." Rhea said. No wonder he carries himself like that, he is the Alpha of his pack, the strongest member of them all, Skilled in everything. 

"Well nice to meet you Rhea." Kael said and she smiled back. Kieran looked at his watch, he stood up taking his Tux jacket.

"We need to leave, just relax okay and don't open the door for anyone." Kael said and Rhea nodded, both men walked out of the house leaving just Rhea. 

Rhea took the plate to the kitchen and began washing them, suddenly a memory popped up, 

Flash back 

Rhea walked into the kitchen where her mum was busy doing the dishes. 

"Mum how many times do I have to tell your not to do the dishes." Rhea said, she placed her hands on her waist.

"Oh come on Rhea, I can't just sit around doing nothing." Her mum said, Rhea rolled up her sleeve and joined her mother, just them she felt water splash on face.

"Mum!" She said but another water hit her face, Rhea retaliated and they both laughed, 

End of flash back 

Rhea fell to the ground, heavy tears fell from her eyes, she cried in pain, from her knowledge this was the second life she was loosing, a second family, if they hadn't found her, they would have been happy. 

Evening

Rhea sat in the sofa watching a movie, she made sure everywhere was neat and spotless. She heard the door open and Kieran walked in. 

She quickly stood up and bowed her head, Kieran who took of his shoes didn't even look at her, he walked away.

"Alpha... Can I, um thank you for helping me." She said, she was expecting a reply but non, instead he stopped walking, he turned to look at her, he walked towards her, Rhea didn't know what he wanted so she took a step back, he looked as if he was angry.

Rhea stopped when her back his the wall, Kieran was just an inch away from her, his aura was very intimidating, she wanted to leave but he block her by placing his hand on the wall, his tall figure towering over her.

His second hand held her chin raising her up to meet his gaze, Rhea's heart was beating so fast, his gaze was intense and burning. Their faces were inches apart, she could feel his hot breath fanning her face.

"Listen, don't even try to be nice or comfortable around me, I am a very difficult man to stay with, don't cross path with me or I could snap that pretty head off your body." Kieran said it in  a low threatening way, his deep voice wasn't helping the situation either, it only sent shivers down her spine. 

Rhea swallowed the lump in her throat, that gesture made Kieran's eyes move to her lips, she wondered what he wanted to do, his thump brushed past her lips, this gesture made Rhea melt, his presence was really affecting her.

He moved away from her and walked towards the stairs but he stopped.

"Keep in mind, you made a deal with the devil." With that he walked away leaving Rhea in complete fear, she was almost shaking, her heart beating fast.

    Chapter SixRhea managed to walk back to her room, her heart pounding in her chest. She had absorbed the full weight of what the Alpha had said, and from his demeanor, it was clear he was dead serious. She sat on her bed, staring into space as questions swirled in her mind. How would she ever live with someone like him? What was she even doing here? Could he really kill her? These thoughts pressed in on her like an insurmountable weight. She closed her eyes, her mind replaying the events of the past few weeks, from the safety of her once happy life to this terrifying uncertainty. Tears slipped down her cheeks, though she quickly wiped them away, forcing herself to sleep. She clung to a tiny sliver of hope that when she woke up, everything would be back to normal.When the first light of dawn pierced her window, it landed directly on her face, forcing her to frown.

    Chapter SevenKael walked into his office, sighing in relief as he loosened his tie slightly. The day had barely begun, but he already felt drained. He shrugged off his suit jacket and hung it over the chair before walking to the window. With a single pull, he drew up the blinds, allowing natural light to filter into the room. He closed his eyes briefly, enjoying the warmth before heading back to his desk. Sitting down, he powered on his laptop and got straight to work. A few minutes later, the sound of the door opening caught his attention. He glanced up to see a familiar figure step inside. A young woman, of average height, with short blonde hair and deep ocean-blue eyes, entered his office. She wore a black office shirt tucked into a neatly pressed black pleated skirt, paired with black heels. In one hand, she held a steaming cup of coffee, and in the other, a file filled with documents. A bright smile adorned her face as she approached. "Good morning, Mr. Kael. I brought you c

    Chapter NineRhea had been in the house all day. Even though it had everything she needed, the routine was monotonous—wake up, eat, sleep, watch TV, repeat. She had grown restless, so to break the cycle, she decided to explore the house a little. Wandering through the halls, she stumbled upon a mini-library. The room was lined with shelves filled with books—romance, thrillers, even historical fiction. She was surprised. Kieran doesn’t seem like the type to read romance novels... so why are they here? she wondered. But she wasn’t about to complain. At least she had something to keep her occupied. She grabbed three books and made herself comfortable in the living area, sitting on the floor with snacks and a bottle of water beside her. She immersed herself in the stories, flipping page after page until, without realizing it, exhaustion crept up on her. She was halfway through the third book when sleep overtook her, her head resting against the hardcover propped on the center table.

He knew Kieran wouldn't like being disturbed, but this was important. While Kieran went upstairs, Kael made himself comfortable in the living room, turning on the television. He flipped through the channels, settling on a news broadcast when he heard footsteps approaching. Rhea walked in, dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit. Her silver eyes held a hint of curiosity and hesitation. “Good evening,” she greeted politely, her voice soft but clear. Kael turned to her and smiled. “Good evening, Rhea. Why don’t you join me?” She hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the couch, though she kept a noticeable distance from him. “You don’t have to be so tense. I’m just a friend,” Kael assured her with a friendly chuckle. Rhea gave a small nod, relaxing just a little. “How’s it been, staying with Kieran?” he asked, tilting his head slig

"we'll be heading out for some time, we might not be back today so the house is all yours, you have everything you need and also here." Kael gave her a box, it was a box of an iPhone. Rhea took it from him, she knew it was a smart phone but the expensive one. "For communication and also, a girl will be here to help you with things you need and also your new job, okay."

    Chapter Twelve After a long day of shopping, Anna and Rhea returned home with their hands full of shopping bags. The two women laughed as they sorted through their purchases, admiring the clothes, shoes, and accessories they had picked out. It had been a fun and refreshing experience, one that Rhea hadn’t had in a long time. After unpacking, they both took nice, warm showers and changed into comfortable loungewear. The day had been exhausting, but it had also helped Rhea feel a little more normal. She wasn’t just a girl hiding in Kieran’s house anymore—she was starting to experience life again. Feeling a bit hungry, Rhea decided to prepare something for them to eat. She moved gracefully around the kitchen, her hands skilled as she chopped vegetables and seasoned the dish to perfection. The delicious aroma filled the house, making Anna’s stomach growl in anticipation. As soon as Rhea served the meal, Anna took a bite and let out a satisfied moan. “Mmm, this is amazing! You cook

"You heard me," Daren replied, his tone firm and unwavering. "I'm doing what’s best for this pack, and sooner or later, you'll come to accept it." "I am not getting married to her," Kieran stated flatly, his jaw tightening. "Do you think you can simply refuse?" Daren scoffed. "The Elders have already decided, and their decision is final. You will marry Diana because it is what’s best for the pack." Kieran let out a low, humorless chuckle, shaking his head. "I am the Alpha of this pack, not the Elders. I make the rules—they follow them. And right now, I am telling you that I am not marrying her. Unless you want her to live in misery and pain, then by all means, be my guest." His voice was eerily calm, yet filled with an underlying danger. The room’s atmosphere shifted instantly. A chilling aura radiated from him, making the servants st

    Chapter Twenty-Five Rhea rushed to the restroom, her hands shaking as she gripped the sink. She stared at her reflection, her breath coming in shallow gasps. What the hell just happened? Her mind was still reeling from the encounter with Ethan. She pressed her lips together, taking deep breaths to calm herself. When she finally felt steady enough, she examined her face more closely. There, on her cheek, was a bright red bruise. Shit. The last thing she wanted was for Kieran to notice. The very thought of him seeing it and asking questions sent a wave of anxiety crashing over her. Rhea hesitated for a moment before pulling the scrunchie from her hair, letting the long strands fall forward to cover the mark. She ran her fingers through her hair a few times, making sure it concealed the bruise. Then she checked her phone. An hour had passed. Her eyes widened. Oh my God. I’m going to get fired. Heart pounding, she shoved her phone back into her pocket and hurried out of t

    Chapter 24 As Ethan continued searching for the files, Rhea could feel his eyes on her. He wasn’t being subtle about it either. Every few moments, she caught him stealing glances at her, his gaze lingering far longer than she was comfortable with. A cold shiver ran down her spine, and she fought the urge to shift in her seat. "So, how’s life as Kieran’s new assistant?" Ethan suddenly asked, breaking the silence. "Good," Rhea replied shortly, keeping her tone neutral. Ethan chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "You know, it’s been almost a month since you started working for him, and I must say, things seem to be going smoothly. I’ve never seen him so patient with anyone before. Either you’re exceptionally good at your job, or…" He trailed off, a smirk forming on his lips. Rhea narrowed her eyes slightly. "Or what?" "Or there’s something else," he said, his gaze darkening. Rhea didn’t like the sound of that. She had no idea what he meant, but she decided not to push the

    Chapter Twenty-Three "Oh, I told you she'd be good for the job," Kael said casually. Kieran simply nodded, not bothering to say much. Kael’s eyes landed on the empty plate on Kieran’s desk. "Did you make that?" he asked, a teasing smile forming. "Wow, finally, you're taking better care of your health." Kieran gave him a blank look before ending the call without another word. After finishing his food, he stood up, picking up his plate. As he walked to the kitchen, a sudden sharp pain shot through his head. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before—so intense that he had to grab onto the counter for support. A low groan escaped his lips as he clenched his jaw, his breathing uneven. The pain wasn't just in his head; it coursed through his entire body, like something inside him was shifting, changing against his will. Kieran forced himself to move, each step toward his room feeling heavier than the last. He shut the door behind him and stumbled toward the bathroom, grip

    Chapter Twenty-Two Rhea was still in shock that Kieran had noticed Mr. John staring at her throughout the meeting. She had assumed he was too reserved to care about such things, but his last statement before they left had surprised her even more—he had taken her side. They walked in silence toward the elevator, standing side by side as they waited. Rhea occasionally stole glances at Kieran, who stood with his back resting against the glass, his head leaning backward, eyes closed. His sharp jawline and flawless skin made him look effortlessly handsome. Even his side profile was breathtaking. Rhea quickly looked away, afraid that he would catch her staring. Once the elevator reached the ground floor, they stepped out and walked toward the car waiting outside. Kieran slid into the backseat, resting his elbow on the armrest while his other hand propped up his head against the window. His eyes remained closed, and for a moment, Rhea wondered whether he had fallen asleep from exhaus

    Chapter Twenty-One:Rhea woke up early, quickly got dressed, and ate before heading out. She already knew the company's address, so she took a cab without hesitation. Upon arriving at the company, she walked straight to her office. She had arranged it the previous day, so it was still neat and organized. However, remembering the second rule—that Kieran hated dust—she knew she had to check his office as well. She called in the cleaner to dust the room thoroughly before she began arranging files, straightening his desk, and wiping down the shelves. As she carefully adjusted the books, a picture frame fell to the floor. "Hmm?" Rhea muttered as she bent down to pick it up. It was a photo of a woman, possibly in her late twenties. She had delicate features and a soft, confident smile. Rhea stared at the image, curiosity swirling in her mind. *His sister? Or maybe a past lover?* she wondered. *Well, at least now I know he’s not gay.* While she was still lost in thought, the door

Anna arranged her desk, she sat down to do some last minute check up, when she was done she switched off her computer, arranged her bag and walked outside. Descending down the stairs was Kael and Anna."Well look who it is, the new assistant, Rhea how was your first day?" Kael's cheerful voice rang in her ears as he approached her.

    Chapter NineteenAfter hours of intense work, Rhea finally leaned back in her chair, stretching her stiff muscles. It was well past twelve, and she had barely noticed how much time had passed. "Hey, girl, are you done?" Anna asked, poking her head into Rhea’s office. "Almost... and done!" Rhea said with a triumphant smile. She let out a satisfied sigh, enjoying the brief moment of relaxation. "Sorry, you must be exhausted," Anna said sympathetically. "It's too early to be tired," Rhea replied, shaking her head. Surprisingly, she felt energized. The work, though tedious, was fulfilling. It was far better than sitting at home, feeling useless. Though she missed the comfort of the house, she had chosen this path, and she wasn’t going to complain now. "Well, it's lunchtime. Let’s explore the company’s cafeteria," Anna suggested, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Wait, don’t I need permission to leave the office?" Rhea asked hesitantly.

    Chapter EighteenThe office was thick with an eerie silence, so heavy it felt suffocating. Rhea could hear her own heartbeat pounding in her ears as she watched Kieran go through her résumé. She wondered if he always tried to intimidate people with his dark, almost suffocating aura. The room was so quiet that if a pin dropped, it would echo. The silence was nerve-wracking, and just when she thought she couldn’t take it anymore, he finally placed her file back on his desk. Lifting his gaze, he met her eyes, making her shudder involuntarily. “Tell me, what are you doing here?” Kieran asked, his voice deep and unwavering. Rhea swallowed, her throat suddenly dry, but she forced herself to speak. She explained her purpose, detailing everything about why she was here and how she would serve as his assistant. She was quite impressed with herself for managing to keep her voice steady throughout. Kieran listened without interruption. His sharp eyes studied her as if he were peeling bac

Meanwhile, back at the mansion… 6:30 AMAnna and Rhea had woken up, taken their baths, and dressed for the day. After a quick breakfast, they were both ready for work. For Rhea, it was her first official day as Kieran’s personal assistant. Excitement bubbled in her chest, but nerves crept in as well. She had completed her training and knew what was expected of her, yet she couldn’t help but feel anxious. Anna noticed the way Rhea kept fidgeting, rubbing her palms together. She grabbed her hands, squeezing them gently. "Hey, it's okay to be nervous," Anna reassured her. "And remember, it's totally fine to make mistakes—it's your first day! Just take it one step at a time. I'm here if you need anything." Rhea gave a small, appreciative smile. "Thank you," she murmured. "Good! Now, let's get you looking flawless."
