Alisha's POV The clock on the computer reads five thirty and I can't believe how quickly the day flew by. Once I got going everything I've learned in school came into play, this is what I've been working towards as a career and the real reason I'm here. I finally get to be an intern like I'm supposed to be, if my days are going to be like this I don't mind staying until the end and completing my studies. Things just got a little brighter around here, even without any windows.The day was uneventful as a very few people even bother to come in to the office . Just a handful and they totally ignored me choosing to speak with Saphria only. She is the secretary after all and would be able to answer the questions they had. It didn't hurt my feelings one little bit, the less interaction the better . At lunchtime food was delivered up from the kitchens,there was so much that it was shocking and that's a perk for sure. I was happy to stay in this little space and keep my exposure to others li
Alisha's POVIt hit me like a ton of bricks and my brain was firing now on all the things I overlooked , how could I have missed it earlier with the way those two seemed to just be pulled together. The innocent touches to the shared looks and tied all together with the private conversations. It was like I wasn't in the room most of the day now that I think back on it. The two of them were glued at the hip whenever I looked over to Bianca's desk. She didn't act like that with me and Bianca never seemed to be like that with anyone else that I had ever noticed in the past. It had to be true."She's your mate and I'd bet money on it ." Bianca looks uncertain at my outburst . "You feel the pull don't you?""I'm not sure what I feel." Her voice relays her doubts about my belief " It may be just because she is so friendly and nothing more.""No , I think it's more than that. Have you ever felt like this with anyone else here?" She frowns slightly as she thinks about what I said. "No I ha
Alisha's POV Sleep didn't come easy to me , my mind just wouldn't settle and let things go. I kept running different outcomes for the next day when those two met up again. I was part excited and part worried. There were just too many things that could results from knowing the truth. Ranging from running into each others arms before heading off into the sunset together , that was my favorite by the way , to not being mates after all or even worse Bianca being rejected. I'm just hoping this works out for Bianca in a good way , that poor girl has put so much energy and time into finding her mate. She deserves her happiness because she has really put the work into it, but if this fails she is going to be heartbroken. If that's the case then I'm going to talk her into going to the States to look for her mate . My family there would be happy to help her and I know my sister would love the chance to play matchmaker .I must have finally dozed off because the next thing I knew there was a
Alisha's POV Saphria refused to make eye contact with either of us the rest of the day. Avoiding any and all contact, not even speaking unless absolutely necessary. I remembered that we aren't supposed to be "chatting" as one of the rules but I could tell she was embarrassed that we witnessed her her exit earlier from his office looking out of sorts. I don't blame her, he is the one in power and she can't refuse him without fear of punishment. Sick bastard, he's not that bad looking he couldn't find a willing partner. He must get off on abusing the unwilling female, some males are sick fuckers like that.She was called into the Alpha's office a few more times but didn't come out looking like she did the first time. The only difference was she had a pad of paper with her each time and was in there for only a very short period. The door wasn't even closed all the way and we could hear the interactions. All business now with her. He had the door left open a few times when she left him
Alisha's POV We got off the elevator together and walked down to our rooms side by side. Both of us lost in thought as we clutched those new items to our chests. So much shit went down today and I know that tomorrow will push everything to the extreme. I don't relish the idea of being on that boat with the Alpha , even with the others girls it's going to be rough. It feels like a trap and I'm the prey.Holding the clothes over my chest with one hand and holding my shoes in the other. I have totally given up any thoughts of wearing them again, from now on they will be left in my room fuck the consequences . I'm not wearing stilettos on a rocking boat tomorrow, I'd be on my ass with the first step. Right now I'm itching to hit someone and I just dare anyone we pass by to open their mouth. They avoid us like the plague moving to the side to avoid any physical contact. Even the other females here regard us as whores because of this Alpha.At least the suit and covered up block the deep c
Alisha's POV I slept better than I thought I would, my eyes were closed before my head hit the pillow. Just having a workable escape plan in place helped with that and add in the fact I was just plain exhausted from all the stress around here. So much shit has been keeping me on edge since I drove into the city that I've never been able to relax. Uncertain situations and problems have always keep me up at night but tonight I finally crashed hard. I slept like the dead and even my alarm going off didn't register. It wasn't until Bianca finally splashed water on my face that I joined the world again. I wasn't too happy with her waking me that way but she said shaking me didn't seem to be enough even with the bright overhead light on. Yet I didn't even feel like I had enough sleep still, this could have easily been one of those "stay in bed " all day situations if I wasn't in this place. I miss those days and plan to have many of them again once I'm out of here. It didn't take us lon
Alisha's POV The yacht was unbelievable huge and I know my mouth was catching flies as I stared at my surrounding, yep I'm totally gawking like the awe struck poor person I am. I have never been on something like this before , sure the Illinois river runs through my home town of Peoria but there wasn't anything like this floating on it. This was like something only the very rich and famous would own. How this pack had this kind of money was beyond me, nothing in the finance work I had to do for the hotel showed this kind of income being generated. I wasn't even aware of her hand on me until a strong tug brought me back to my senses and almost falling on my face. Bianca had to literally pull me along by my arm when she noticed I was frozen in place unaware that my feet weren't moving anymore. This yacht was that awesome."Come on Alisha " she urged me to get my feet moving , seemly not effected by the surroundings like I was. I followed her as she led me like a small child with th
Alisha's POV "The fuck you say, I'm not your mate so just tell us what the hell is going on here." My voice is loud and disrespectful but I don't give two shits at this point. He narrows his eyes at me , not liking my disrespect of his title and how I spoke to him. I'm done with his sorry ass and have reached my point of no return. My mouth just took over my body and my fight instinct has gone into full battle mode. His Beta makes a move towards me but the Alpha stops him in his tracks."No wait, we have time for that later." He tells his Beta before addressing me again. His voice remains cold and indifferent. "I knew you were my true mate the first time I laid eyes on you. But you of course wouldn't know that since your wolf is repressed. " He leans back in his chair but never takes his eyes off of my face. " I had no intentions of ever telling you at first but after seeing that attitude I changed my mind. This makes what I'm doing so much more personal and I wanted you to know th
