Her Christmas Wolf

It was the first day of December. The alarm on her phone started desperately screaming in her ear, so she shook off the tiredness of the long hours she had to work the previous days and the ones that she had ahead.A little over the sound of the ringing noise, she heard giggles that soon were accompanied by soft, cute voices.The reason for her trying every day had just woken up.Or more like, the reasons.And they giggled as their small feet hit the carpeted floor of the place they were renting. Siel could never sleep with her bedroom door closed. The little humans that inhabited the room right next to hers might need her, or even just might want to go and jump on top of her tired body as a good morning greeting.James and Rose were her twin toddlers, just turned three, and she still called them babies. They were truly her babies anyway.Even if they could already take their crayons to put a few letters together and draw basic figures, like the many drawings in the fridge that showed

Typically, Vince would not use the main entrance of the Silvercrest building because he had his own. It was located near his secret parking area in their skyscraper's basement for practical and security reasons.But today, he was feeling cheerful and spirited enough to actually enter the main entrance and use the common elevators.Besides he had a mission... And he was early to complete it, too.Not that he followed a time clock, but he did want to set an example for his employees. Hence, his regular attendance and daily punctuality at 7 A.M. on the dot when starting his workday. However, he decided to wait a few minutes as if in search of something… or someone. He hung out at one of the shops that rented space in their lounge area as he eyed the still small crowd of elevator passengers lining up in one of the ground floor hallways.Though he acted like he was interested in a row of fresh pastries that were displayed at the store's window, all his wolf's heightened senses were focusin

Siel finally entered the reception hall of the luxurious 166th floor via a special lift that can be used only by those who were allowed "upstairs". After she said her name to the bulky MIB-looking security staff, she went through an airport-styled security check; complete with a full-body scanner in front of the elevator's door entrance, before stepping into the luxurious and ultra-modern-looking lift.A little intimidated, she slowly approached the attractive, boyish-looking man who was sitting at a large, executive-style desk near large, ornate mahogany double doors."Excuse me," Siel politely said, as he looked up.Myron's eyes lit up, and so did his smile. "Oh, hi!" he said in a friendly and almost excited tone. "You must be… Elena Camden, yes?" He said with the same tone, checking his notes.She found that greeting peculiar, considering the circumstance but just decided to ignore it."Y-yes. I am. I-" Siel gulped as she realized that she's actually more nervous now than angry. Sh

"Ok, so I'm not dreaming…"Siel spoke to her smiling reflection in the mirror.Her two children jumped and ran around excitedly in their casual outdoor clothes. They were now all ready for the "date" and were just waiting for their ride to arrive.Her smile widened as Nella entered her bedroom with a large baby backpack filled with James and Rose's snacks, toys, and extra clothes for this evening's outing. She wasn't even aware of where V planned to take them, but she couldn't help but be thrilled that the man agreed to what she wanted.* * *"If you really want to take me out tonight, I have to insist on bringing my twins along. I hardly spend any time with them, and I haven't been able to earn enough to even bring them to the local amusement park. Besides, I promised myself that if I'll ever start dating again, it has to be with someone who will accept and love my kids.""Done! And I know exactly where we'll go tonight. Make sure you all wear casual outfits. I promise that your babi

"Good morning, Miss Camden. How are you today?" The handsome, polite young man at the main desk near V's office doors greeted her as if he were sincerely glad to see her. However, her mind was so clouded that she could only respond with a smile and a half-hearted greeting. "Good morning to you too… uh… Myron, correct?""Yes! It's nice of you to remember," he said with a smile.Well, he seems genuinely pleased to see me. Maybe because he's overworked like me, and he needs the extra help. But V doesn't seem to be that kind of boss. Or is he?"Uhm… listen, I need to see Mr. Riegel before I check on my job description. He said I'd need to talk with you about it, but I don't know if you mind me taking a few minutes before we start," she shyly told Myron."Oh, I don't mind, and it won't be a problem. He informed me that you might be a little late so I am quite surprised that you're this early. He also came in really early today, so please just go ahead since he has no appointments yet," he
