Alexa stood before the grand entrance of L.P Enterprise, her eyes widening in awe as she gazed up at the towering skyscraper. The sleek, modern design and gleaming glass façade seemed to stretch on forever, leaving her breathless every time she visited. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves as she pushed through the revolving doors.Inside, the reception area was just as impressive, with polished marble floors and a high ceiling. But her attention was quickly drawn to the receptionist, who looked like she'd rather be anywhere else. The woman's gum-chewing was loud and obnoxious, and her expression was downright rude."Hi, I have an appointment..." Alexa began, but the receptionist cut her off before she could finish."Room 48, third floor, first office," the woman snapped, not even looking up from her phone.Alexa nodded, trying to hide her annoyance. "Thank you."She made her way to the third floor, her heart racing with anticipation. She really wanted this job, but she k
Alexa stood in front of her wardrobe, scanning the rows of clothes with a critical eye. She wanted to make a good impression on her first day as a secretary, but she didn't want to overdo it either. After a few minutes of deliberation, she settled on a black pencil skirt and a green blouse, pairing them with matching green shoes. She took a step back to admire herself in the mirror, satisfied with the professional yet stylish look.Downstairs, Leonard was waiting for her, his eyes widening in shock as he took in her appearance. For a moment, he just stood there, speechless. Alexa felt a flutter in her chest as she wondered if she had overdone it after all.Finally, Leonard found his voice. "Wow, Alexa, you look stunning," he said, his eyes still fixed on her.Alexa smiled, feeling a blush rise to her cheeks. "Thank you, Leonard. I was hoping to make a good impression."Leonard's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he spoke again. "You have no idea how proud I am of you, Alexa. I
Alpha Valle stepped into the human world, his dreadlocks a wild tangle down his back. His animal skin loincloth and feathered headdress marked him as a stranger in this strange land. The air was thick with the smells of smoke and metal, a far cry from the crisp ice of his kingdom.As he emerged from the alleyway, a cacophony of car horns and shouts assaulted his ears. The humans rushed past him, their faces a blur of disgust, mockery, and jest. Alpha's eyes widened in wonder, his grip on his spear tightening."What sorcery is this?" he muttered, staring up at the towering buildings that seemed to touch the sky.A group of humans, their skin a deep brown like the rich soil of his kingdom, pointed and laughed at him. "Look at this dude's hair!" one of them jeered. "And what's with the animal print onesie?"Alpha's face darkened, his hand on the shaft of his spear. But he restrained himself. He took a deep breath and approached the group. "Greetings, people of this land," he said, his vo
Alexa stepped out of her sleek, silver Audi Q5, the warm sunlight glinting off the car's luxurious curves. She had worked tirelessly for Leonard for four months, and her hard work had paid off - literally. The substantial paycheck she received allowed her to indulge in luxuries she had once only dreamed of, including this stunning vehicle.With a sense of pride and accomplishment, Alexa walked towards the daycare, her high heels clicking on the pavement. She pushed open the door and was immediately greeted by the sound of children's laughter and chatter. Her eyes scanned the room, searching for her five-month-old daughter, Rahilla.As she entered, Rahilla's eyes locked onto hers, and she stretched out her tiny arms, giggling excitedly. "Mama!" she cooed.Alexa's heart melted as she scooped up Rahilla, showering her with kisses. "Hey, my sweet darling! How was your day?"Rahilla giggled and squirmed in her arms, clearly happy to see her mother.As Alexa bid the staff goodbye, Rahilla c
Leonard stood frozen, his mouth agape, struggling to process the words that had just tumbled out of Alexa’s mouth. The soft light in the dim room cast a warm glow on her face, but it only heightened the chill that crept up his spine. “Supernatural being?” he repeated incredulously, his mind racing.He turned to her, searching her face for any sign that she was joking, but the seriousness etched in her features told him otherwise. “You’re trying to tell me that there’s… a monster out there after you?” He couldn't keep the disbelief from creeping into his voice, as if merely saying the words out loud could somehow make this all more real.Alexa let out a deep sigh, rubbing her temples as if warding off a coming headache. “You’re missing the point, Leonard. He’s not a monster,” she insisted, her eyes pleading for him to understand. “You’ve got to see he’s more complicated than that.”Leonard furrowed his brow, the confusion deepening. “From everything you just told me about that Alpha Va
She pushed open the creaky door to the dusty attic that served as her room. her eyes scanning the cluttered space that felt more like a prison than a sanctuary.Exhausted, she collapsed onto the worn heap that passed for her bed. Her father had once again used her to pay off a debt, forcing her to spend the entire night working as a waitress at a club. Her hand instinctively went to the locket necklace she wore, this was the only connection to her mother. She sighed, whispering "Mother" as a mix of sadness and longing washed over her.Her father's descent into drinking had begun after her mother's death, and it only worsened when he remarried. His addiction to gambling led to trouble, and when he couldn't pay his debts, he'd pawn her off to do chores for his creditors until the debt was paid. She longed for the life she once knew, and her heart yearned for something good to happen, something that would change her life for the better. Maybe, just maybe, she'd meet her mate, someone w
"Can you just hear me out, Valle?" Allen asked, his voice laced with a hint of frustration.Valle's eyes flashed with anger as he turned to face his brother. "Know your place, Allen. We may be brothers, but I am still your Alpha. You will address me as such."Allen let out a deep sigh, accustomed to his brother's outbursts. "Fine, my king. Can you hear me out?"Valle's expression remained unyielding. "There's nothing to hear. I never told you I needed or wanted a wife, and yet you've gone behind my back and arranged for me to marry one."Allen's pause was deliberate, as he carefully chose his words to avoid arousing his brother's suspicion. "You've not even heard the reason I did this," he said, his tone measured.Valle's eyes narrowed. "Your desperation to have me marry makes it seem like you have something to gain from this, more than I do. Is that a lie?"Allen's hesitation was brief, but telling. "I'm only doing this for you, my king. I know how much you crave power, how much you
The night was quiet and peaceful, the only sound that could be heard was the soft rustling of the wind through the trees. The quiet atmosphere was shattered by a sudden, piercing scream that echoed through the halls of the palace followed by the sounds of struggling breaths.Inside the Luna's chambers, the three midwives worked tirelessly to aid in the labor. Beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads as they focused on helping the Luna through her difficult labor. With one final scream, the baby came into the world.At first, there was a shout of jubilation among the midwives as they welcomed the new life, but it quickly faded as they laid eyes on the newborn. It was a girl, and they knew that the Alpha king would not be pleased.The eldest midwife, her face filled with worry, turned to the other women with her and asked in a hushed voice, "Who is going to tell the Alpha king?" There was a heavy silence in the room.They knew what was at stake. Their lives. Slowly, their gazes turne
