Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 37: A Cozy Night with An Alpha
"Wait a minute!" I put a hand against his chest. "I didn't say yes. In fact, no." "What do you mean, 'no'?" He was looking at me in confusion, the apron half pulled off over his head, the cupcakes cooling on the rack beside him mixing with his scent and overwhelming me with delicious smells. Yes, what do you mean no, Elena? Are you crazy? His eyes cleared in realization. "Elena, I meant spend the night on the couch. What did you think I meant?" I felt stupid, but gestured at the apron which he was still removing. "Oh." He paused and thought. Then he smiled. "Okay, yes, I admit it probably looked like I was stripping right now in front of you but I promise I'm a more subtle lover." I nodded, mute, thinking maybe it wasn't such a horrible thing if he stayed after all. He sensed my vacillating and stepped closer. "Even if you stay on the couch..." My voice came out in a squeak. I cleared my voice and started again. "Even if you stay on the couch, it will look a certai

I didn't think I would ever fall asleep. The idea that Charles Rafe, the boy I'd dreamed about every night of my teenage life, was laying on my couch in the form of a full-grown sexy man made me toss and turn. Go back out there, Elena, I told myself. Who cares about your reputation or what bad path it might lead to. Take Cathy's advice. It can go both ways. You can use each other. I must have finally fallen asleep, however, because I was suddenly sitting with Cathy in the cafeteria of our old school, only it was the later, adult versions of us. "What's the worst that can happen if you go out there?" she asked. "I'm never taken seriously again and have to move?" "Away from me? Then never mind. Don't do it." She was suddenly one of the orphans from Mrs. Addison's, the one named Charlotte. "Are you sure you don't want to try? You've always been lonely, and his company isn't bad, even if it's not everything you want." I looked at her sadly. "That's exactly wh
Last Updated : 2023-11-14Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 39: A Jealous Day
I took Cathy's advice and buried my head in my work that morning, trying every ten minutes to fight the urge to speculate what went on the night before. When lunch came I went up in the elevator, smoothing my hair and my skirt. I was nervous to see Charles. This is ridiculous, I thought. What was I expecting to happen? Nothing would be different. Amy and Jessica were already gone, and as I walked in he turned from where he was standing at the window, looking out over the city with his cellphone in hand. He smiled and waved me in as he finished his call. I tried to read something, anything, into his expression, but nothing seemed different. He didn't even seem more tired or reveal so much as an extra crease in his trousers that revealed he'd slept anywhere abnormal. I saw down on the couch feeling ridiculous. I must have dreamed it. And if there weren't cupcake tins in the drying rack then I'd have assumed I dreamed the entire evening. "Hey," he said when he hung up the

I usually enjoyed Matilda's freshly cut grass smell. It was refreshing and natural, just like her character, and over the few assignments we'd shared I'd come to have respect for her abilities and to appreciate her kindness. But when I walked into Charles' office her scent was overwhelming, enhanced by her happiness pheromones. She had been very happy about something when she was talking to Charles in there and I struggled against my suspicious mind. I felt like I knew them both well enough to think they weren't a very good match. But then again, I had no idea what Charles was thinking half the time. His Alpha logic defied my more intuitive way of thinking about people. Still, I tried to believe nothing untoward happened and sat down to think about dinner. Charles sat and relaxed on the seat across from me, looking the same as ever. There was no trace on his face to show he had slept somewhere other than his usual bed, nothing to show he had perhaps spent a night snuggling wi

Amy and Jessica were nowhere to be seen. "Where...?" I began. "Gone for the day," he murmured, his nose in my hair. He deftly handled the door while still holding me, kicked open the door and walked in. He gently set me down on his couch and sat back on his heels surveying me. He smiled, letting his hand slide down my calf to my ankle. It was an odd sensation, both stimulating and then mildly painful when he got to my ankle. He removed my shoe and frowned at the already swelling skin. "Can you turn it this way?" he asked, his warm hand enveloping my foot, urging it one direction. I nodded and obeyed. "That way?" I tried and winced slightly. He nodded, stood, and went to his drinks cabinet. After some clattering and drawer slamming, he came back with a plastic to-go bag full of ice. He placed it delicately on my ankle. "Thank you," I said, sincerely glad he had been there to help me, enjoying the way his hands had touched my skin. He put both hands on either side o

I shrugged. "You have this secret thing between you, so what am I supposed to expect when she looked so, I don't know, radiant." "Do you want me to tell you? I don't think she'll mind really." I looked at him, surprised. "I don't want you to break a confidence." He waved his hand as if to dismiss my concerns. "If it will make you feel better." He stood and moved away, sitting back down on a chair opposite from mine. I hated that I suddenly missed his closeness. "Matilda was, is, very happy and she is indeed pursuing love." I sat up, scowling. "In the purest form I know," he added, cutting off my objection. "She wants to be a mother." I could feel my mouth hanging open. "A mother?" "And it's your fault, by the way." I could see Charles was enjoying this, stringing it out while I sat tortured. I slumped back, the bump on my head beginning to throb slightly while my ankle was going numb. "Okay, Charles. I give up. How is this my fault." "She wants to adopt on

His face was buried in my hair as he carried me to the couch and gently put me down. He crouched in front of me and carefully lifted my leg with the swollen ankle. His warm hands felt good on the puffy skin. I leaned forward, eager to feel his lips again but he pulled back, a teasing smile on his lips. He picked up the bag of ice from where it dropped on the ground and opened it, pulling a cube out. He popped it in his mouth before tying it shut again and placing it gingerly on my ankle. The cold on my painful leg was enough to distract me for a moment, and when I looked back up he had maneuvered so he was crouched between my legs, a large hand on each side of my hips. "Oh," I said, as he leaned closer, suddenly nervous. He was so strong, so big, like a looming ocean wave that I had naïvely thought I could hurdle. "Still angry, are we?" he said softly, his hand toying with my hair. I nodded, trying to maintain some semblance of dignity. "Let me cool you off then," he said.

He deflected for a moment, rummaging in the bag and pulling out containers, checking one or two with an eager face. "Now you're just stalling," I said, unable to contain myself. "I'm now expecting an amazing request, the way you're building it up." "It's actually a business thing," he said, his nose still in the bag. "I want to be sure things are going well, that you––and Matilda, of course––are okay." This was not the direction I was anticipating. I couldn't help feeling disappointed. With my skin still scorching in places where his lips touched me, I was assuming it was something more carnal in nature. Hoping even. I tried to arrange my features into the more professional-feeling face I had when I made pitches or talked to the headmistresses of the orphanages. "What exactly do you need?" I asked. He put down the bag. "I want to come with you to an orphanage." My eyebrows raised in surprise. "Really?" First Cathy, now Charles. What was the deal? "Really." I con

Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 221: A Wedding and an Epilogue
For one moment after I arrived in the garden, the sun blinded me, and then my eyes cleared. Before me spread an amazing event: the wedding of our country's princess.It still hadn't fully sunken that I was that princess.The guests sat in orderly rows of brilliantly white chairs festooned in lovely shades of blue and lavender. I had chosen them because they most reminded me of the moon, and I wanted to honor the goddess at this event, as well. Without her, I would not only not have been at this wedding, but I wouldn't have been alive. She had done so much for me. The least I could do was throw a little recognition her way.I clutched the bouquet in my hand, and Theo hooked his arm through my elbow. “Are you ready?” he asked.“I'm ready.”We took a step toward the altar on the red carpet spread out in front of me, and the music swelled. The quartet played a beautiful melody full of promise and love.I didn't see the people looking at me, specifically, only that all eyes were on me. My
Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 220: A Strong Finish and a Fresh Beginning
I signed and kept my head tipped back, inviting him to kiss my neck. Charles obliged, working himself inside me with the magic he always seemed to conjure up, driving my excitement higher. My heels fumbled for a place to rest, and finally, I settled for wrapping my legs around him, gripping his hips with my thighs and locking us together.Charles groaned and pulled us as tightly together as possible. And I wouldn't let him go. This left his movements small but the pleasure intense.His rubbing quickly brought me to orgasm, and I tried not to make too much noise and call attention to what we were doing. I really didn't want to be held in contempt for defiling the judge's bench or some such.A moment later, Charles got his release. He stepped back and tided himself, allowing me to do the same.“Now,” he asked with a grin, “Are you ready to go outside and face your adoring public, my princess?”“As long as you're by my side, I can face anything,” I agreed, hopping off the judge's bench.
Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 219: The Queen of Orlune
“Of course,” Queen Yarrow said, “details like training successors aren't left to chance. The king and I already had arrangements made for a royal tutor, assuming that I would get pregnant one day. I'll connect you both with him. Hopefully, you can get started right away.”“So?” I asked the judge. How exactly does this work? What do you mean? She asked, looking quizzically at me. “I mean, what do I do with myself? Where do I go from here? When does all of this happen now?”She said, “The king will be escorted out of Orlune. They're probably already helping him pack. From there, he'll be on the next flight off the vampire kingdom. You get to move straight into the castle if you wish. It's essentially your house now.”“There's no, there's no legal paperwork or anything like that?” I babbled. “It just seems so abrupt.”The judge grinned. “I'll have all of that taken care of taken care of for you. So you don't have to worry about it, your majesty.”“Come, my dear,” Queen Yarrow said, putti
Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 218: An Unwanted Duty
By now, the king’s lawyer had a hand on his shoulder, whispering furiously in his ear. The king gripped the arms of his chair so hard his knuckles were white. And if he could have turned people to stone with a look like a gorgon, the judge and I would already be statues.Still, the judge spoke as if unafraid. “The former king will serve out his sentence off the shifter continent, in the vampire countries,” she announced.A murmur went up from everyone in the gallery at that, but the judge held up her hands. “I chose that location specifically. It has been a standing tradition for generations upon generations that vampires and werewolves do not get involved in one another's politics.”“I would imagine he will find it very difficult to sway anyone into doing his dirty work for him in a country that holds itself neutral. Thereby providing anyone in Orlune that the king feels has wronged him in the safest position that I am able to leave them in.”Further murmurs rose up from the crowd, a
Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 217: Awaiting Sentencing
I hadn't even caught my breath when Charles scooped me up in the hardest hug I'd ever gotten from him. It was so hard that it almost drove the remaining air from my lungs.The rest of that morning flew by as Charles and Gwen helped me to avoid questions I couldn't answer from the press while Theo, David, and the other four guards pushed a path through the paparazzi so we could navigate our way back to the safehouse.We decided it was better to stay there than go back to our apartment, yet, at least until we made sure that any of the king's remaining supporters were under control.Gwen wore a mysterious smile on her face for the rest of that night and into the following morning. But I couldn't get her to confess to what she was up to. We'd barely finished breakfast when someone knocked on the door.Gwen hurried to answer it and admitted two people who took my breath away. One of them was Cathy!Since I didn't know the other, I ran straight to Cathy, hugging her as tightly as I could. T
Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 216: The Verdict
It took me a long time to fall asleep that night, plagued both by worry and growing apprehension over how the next day was going to play out. It could end up being the longest, most brutal day of my life, if I had to spend it waiting and wondering what the jury was going to decide.Worse, what if they took weeks? Months? I’d go crazy before I found myself free from this mess.When we woke in the morning, Charles distracted me by teasing me in every possible way before bringing me to yet another overwhelmingly intense orgasm. I would never have thought that pleasure and pain could be such close neighbors, but he managed. However Charles and I were connecting in bed right now, it was certainly coming very close to more than I could handle.Theo must have told the chef what my favorite foods were because when Charles and I left the bedroom, breakfast was waiting for us. And it was one of my favorites. Belgian waffles with lots of fresh strawberries and whipped cream.I sat down and ate r
Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 215: Renewed Closeness
I kissed Charles, and he pulled back, eyeing me. “Should we be careful or anything?” he asked. “You know, for the baby.”I shrugged. “It's not like I've been pregnant before, but I would guess not. The doctor didn't say anything about that.”“And you haven't even searched things like that online yet?”I shook my head. “How could I? I've been so busy, not to mention the fact that I'm trying to keep certain people from finding out.”“Then we'll go slow and be careful,” he said.His kisses came soft and gentle, and his caresses all over my body were the same. Keeping secrets from him had been a bad idea. Now that they were out in the open, just these small touches made the connection between us feel so much more real as if I had closed some invisible distance between the two of us.This drove me to smash our lips together, desperately seeking the rest of the connection that I hadn't even realized I'd been missing.He chuckled and pushed me back. “What happened to taking it easy?” he teas
Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 214: Time to Confess
All of a sudden, a whisper of a breeze rippled through the courtroom and around my head, whispering reassurance in my ear. This breeze wrapped itself around me and then swirled out into the courtroom, where it produced an answering wind of murmuring whispers. Suddenly, everyone was shaking their heads, turning toward one another. Members of the jury shook their heads as if trying to clear them.Again, I heard a whisper in my ear, and I recognized the voice of the moon goddess. “Don't fear,” was all she said. And then her presence was gone. But the entire courtroom, everybody in the gallery, the jury, the judge, the lawyers, and even the king had all relaxed.The judge brought her gavel down and dismissed the jury to go deliberate. But this time, I wasn't frightened. The goddess had never steered me wrong yet. And she told me not to fear, that I needed to trust her and the fate surrounding her and me.I scurried out of the witness stand and back to my spot beside Mr. Wilcox. “What was
Fated to My Alpha Boss #Chapter 213: The King’s Persuasion
When I exited the bathroom, the importance of the day hit me in full measure. Today I was going to court. What and God's name was I supposed to wear?Someone knocked on the door, and I wrapped my towel tighter. “In a few minutes,” I called.“Elena?” I recognized Gwen's voice. “I brought you a suit for today. May I come in?”“Yes,” I said.She opened the door and entered the bedroom.“I'm just fresh out of the shower.” I bit my lip, feeling foolish. As if she couldn't gather that by my wet hair. But I seem to need something to fill the silence.She held up a garment bag. “You'll want to look your best today,” she said.I let Gwen dress me, taking comfort in the fact that she knew her way around important functions as a luna. When she finished, she grabbed my face and gave my forehead a kiss.“Do exactly what the lawyers, Charles, and I tell you to,” she said. “I don't want you to leave my son a widower before he's even officially married.”I patted her hands, which still rested on my c
