Chapter 35

Charity POV

The meeting with the editor went well, and my book will be published along with my other works, and I'm so happy. After being rejected by many platforms, I'm finally going to be a certified published author.

'Congratulations, Miss Cha Cha, you are welcome to publish more of your work with us, and we are looking forward to partnering with you' I giggle excitedly as I walk toward the exit door. I have never been so excited all my life. It was the first step of my writing career, so why not?

"Whoa! What a great thing to start the week with," I chuckle softly as I cup my cheeks in my palms, blushing hard. The thought of being a published author really hits differently, and I can't wait to write more books I've gotten ideas for.

Stepping out of the exit door, I collided with someone, and I fall flat on my butt, letting out a loud whimper. Yes, I am known for exaggerating, but trust me, I feel pain in my butt.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss. Are you ok?" A deep masculine voi

    Chapter 36Alpha Miguel POV'The grim reapers are after her for a reason you should find out by yourself. It'll be dangerous if they lay their hands on her. It's going to be a disaster if they should get a hold of her' those are the words Draco, whom I thought came to hurt me, instead, he came to warn me to protect my woman. I have been feeling danger lurking around her since then, and although I do not know what they want from her, I'm scared she would get hurt. Now, I'm torn between staying away from her so she can be free from getting harmed by my curse, and also keeping her by my side so she won't get harmed by those grim reapers, and it's really crazy.She must be confused after what happened yesterday, but too bad that I can't even talk to her about it, even though I want to do it. "Are you ok?" Hearing Axel's voice, I turn to see him walking inside the garden with his hands tucked inside his pockets."Hmm, I'm fine," I turn my gaze away to continue to stare at the beautiful fl

    Chapter 37Alpha Miguel I stare at her, taken aback by her question. This would've been the best time to tell her of my identity, this would've been the best time to let her who know I am, but I am scared of losing her. I am scared she won't be safe if she finds out now."What...what are you talking about?" I blink my eyes at her rapidly, but she sighs instead as she runs her fingers through her hair."I'm sorry about that. I think I've just been thinking a lot lately," She replies to me, and I slowly nod my head even though I know that it's something to be worried about."Do you want to stay back at home today if you can't make it to the office?" I ask her, even though I don't want her to stay back. I'm now scared of her being alone that I don't even want her to leave my sight. I'm going to lose my mind if anything should happen to her."No... I will go to the office. You should go ahead, while I get ready and come after you," She utters, but I quickly shake my head."No... I will w

    Chapter 38Clarissa POVI watch as he stares at me, I can see that he is thinking something, but I wish to know what it is that he is thinking at this moment. As I wait for him to give me the answer I want to hear, I pray silently that this isn't true. I can't imagine myself being a partner with those scary creatures if he is one. It will be the end of our relationship if he should tell me that he is really one, and I will forever stay away from him. "Are you kidding me?" He suddenly chuckles as he reclines in his chair."You must've been watching too many horror movies, or reading too many fantasies. Those creatures... I don't think they exist," He shrugs his shoulders, and I bite my bottom lip. I know what I saw wasn't imagination. I really saw that creature, and the dream too, they all make me feel like something is off."What about what you told me? You said that I should leave the bus and that it was dangerous. How did you know that? What did you mean by that?" I ask him, and he

Who the hell was she to have moved my wolf like that? I have been trying to get rid of the thoughts all this while, but nothing seems to be working in my favor.My wolf has been craving to see her again for some reason I am clueless about. Is she our mate? I have asked myself that question a few times, but that doesn't seem to be the case.Again, I check my phone to see if I got a message or a missed call from her, but nothing yet. Everything about her was addictive. Her pair of pale blue eyes, her thick eyebrows, her perfect dentition, her dimples when she smiles, her voice, and her clumsiness were on another level that I fell for at first sight."Who is she?" I ask myself as I stare at the screen of my phone, wishing that she call me.Just when I dropped the phone, it suddenly starts ringing, but my face drop

I thought he just came here to publish his book too, but heck! He is the CEO of the company. Wow! Now, I just experienced another epic scene I've written in my book, where the female lead would run into the CEO a few times and won't even know that he owns the company. I feel like a female lead right now, and my prince charming male lead sitting in front of me."Can you get yourself together, Charity? You are in trouble, and that is all you can think of?" My subconscious mind reminds me of my madness, and I can only admit that I'm really not getting a hang of my sanity anymore."Uhm... Sorry, you had to see that... But, come to think of it, don't you think your editors here are all out of their minds, and incompetent fools?" He raises his eyebrows, and I realize the shit I just spilled. I am in a trouble already,

    Chapter 41Clarissa POV "Gosh! I didn't know the guy is the CEO of the company. He is so cute, nice, and gentle. You need to see the way he talked to me and assured me that everything would be fine. Gosh! I'm so madly in love with him," Charity gushes dreamily as she kicks her legs in the air like an earthworm that was poured salt. If only she knows what is wrong with me, I'm sure she won't even think of bringing up the issue of her crush. Gosh! This girl has a thing for cute guys, which landed her in trouble in the hands of Mason, but it seems like she has not learned her lessons yet."I felt like it was Korean drama or one of the epic scenes of my romance books. I felt the spark, Clarissa. You needed to really see the man," She whines again as she hugs the pillow to herself. Is this how all writers are crazy, or is it just my friend that is being like this? I think I'm going to lose my mind with her around me."You don't look ok... Is everything alright?" She finally turns to face

    Chapter 42Alpha Miguel "Are you kidding me? You want to get married to her, just like that?" Axel's eyes widen after I tell him everything, but I can only sigh. There are a few things I haven't told him about yet, and this includes the reason why I suddenly want to get married to her. He already knew the reason I have been holding back all this while, what happened to my previous mates, and everything that has been going on in my mind since he proved to me that I could confide in him."No, I'm not. I need to get married to her, Axel, and I can't waste much time," I reply to him, and he went silent for seconds before he finally pats my shoulder."I support your decision, Miguel. I told you that I would always be here to support you in whichever decision you made, right? I know you won't make this decision if you know it won't be nice for you," He utters, and I feel a little relieved that at least, someone actually believes in me."I want to introduce her to you.

She has something going on in her mind, and it's obvious, but I don't know what exactly is going on with her.After driving for about twenty minutes, we finally arrive at the front of her apartment, and we all hop out of the car."I will leave you two to talk," Charity utters before she walks away as if she read my time. I needed some time to talk with her."Why did you go out this late? I told you to stop staying out late at night... You are a woman," I add the last word so it won't look awkward."Why were you so mad at him? He only offered to take us to the restaurant, and didn't do anything wrong," She asks, and I bite my inner bottom lip. How do I explain to her that the person that has been taunting her was that young man she mistook to be gentle and innocent?"Uhm... I was just pissed. I mean

    Chapter 68 Axel POV The last few days have been the worst days of my life, and I've been trying to sort everything out, but the more complicated it got. Oliver moved in to stay with me even though I didn't agree to it. She insisted she wanted us to get back together and that she was ready for me now. All the time she was away, she never had a girlfriend because she knew that I was here. Well, that was what she told me, but she wasn't expecting me to believe that, right? Even if she was saying the truth, I never asked her to wait for me. We fucking broke up, and she has no right to come back to my life, right? 'Just let me stay here, Axel. I have nowhere to go. I came here because of you, where do you expect me to go stay?' she asked me when insisted she must leave. Did I forget to mention that she was not from my Pack but from a neighboring Pack? As much as I didn't want her to stay back here, she wouldn't listen to me and insist. As I drove Charity to the cafe where o

    Chapter 67 Clarissa POV It has been three days since I law saw Miguel, and it's crazy how he didn't even bother to come here to check up on me. Does he ever love me? "You asked him to stay the hell away from you, Clarissa. What the hell are you saying?" My subconscious mind reminded me, and even though I asked him to leave me alone, he could still come around and check up on me, knowing that I would miss him, right? "My boyfriend is coming to pick me up for a tour. Do you want to come with us?" Charity asked me as she walked back into the room with a white towel wrapped around her chest, and I rolled my eyes. She just finished bathing and probably going to leave very soon. "No, I'm not interested," I replied to her flatly, and she nodded her head. I guess she got tired of talking to me about Miguel, so she stopped doing it. Missing him was something I couldn't deny. I always craved to see him every damn second I thought I was going to lose my mind if I don't see her.

    Chapter 66 Axel POV "Are you ok?" I ask Miguel, seeing the way he was looking all sad. I needed no one to tell me that this was probably because of his mate. Did she break up with him? I asked myself, but quickly dismissed the thoughts, recalling he told me earlier that they were going to meet. "I'm not fine, Axel. What should I do? She quit with her job and broke up with me," He sighed deeply as he reclined on the couch, and I ran my fingers through my hair. This was something I couldn't handle and didn't know how to comfort him. He was looking extremely sad like he just lost someone, and I could understand what he was feeling. Those chiefs at the Pack would frustrate life out of him if he didn't provide his mate at the appointed date. "What should I do? You know I can't let her go, right?" He said, and I nodded my head. Aside from being mates, one thing I've come to notice with the two is that he was really in love with her. The mate bond aside, Miguel was madly in l

    Chapter 65Clarissa POV After hanging out together, he insisted he wanted to drop me off at home, which I didn't even tried to protest because of how scared I am. What if I bump into those people on my way? I asked myself when I wanted to protest, and I end up allowing him to drop me off."Good night," He smiles at me when he drops me off at the front of my apartment, and I roll my eyes as I turn and start walking inside. I miss his embrace, so can't he fucking hug me even if it's just for seconds? I huff angrily, and just then, he hugs me from behind, and my heart flutters.We remain like that for the next two minutes, and I can't help but want more of this. I know I miss him so much, I want to tell him how much I've missed him, and how much I want him back in my life so badly, but whenever I think about his identity, I can't help but cringe. He is not a human for goodness sake. I would always remind myself, giving me all the reasons to hold back. I mean, this is not a movie or one

    Chapter 64Clarissa POV It's almost closing time, and I can't just wait to get the hell out of here, because it feels so awkward. For some reason, I find myself regretting telling him that. I know it's crazy, but I still fucking love him. Maybe I shouldn't have told him to stay miles away from me, and he is not even talking to me since morning. "Wow! Such a petty jerk!" I curse under my breath after I glance at his office and he is already getting ready to leave his office. Don't tell me he is leaving before closing time. I quickly turn my gaze away when I spot him coming out of his office."Uhm... We have an urgent meeting to attend now. You should come with me," He utters once he walks into my office, and I almost scoff, but recalling that we are officially having a boss-employee relationship, I decided to sulk it in and respect him as my boss."Yes, Sir," I reply to him and switch the desktop off before I stand up to my feet."Sir, do I need to take anything with me?" I raise my

    Chapter 63Clarissa POV "You're here?" I bet he is excited, but wait! Don't tell me he was going to hug me. That's crazy."Hmm. Let's talk," I utter rudely as I head toward his office, and sit on the visitor's chair once I walk inside. I can't deny that I've really missed this place. It has just been a few days since I was last here, and I've missed it so much. What if I decided to quit? I don't think I will be able to hang on. I may lose my mind."Now, that's too pretty to be true," My subconscious mind reminds me, and I roll my eyes. My heart skips when I hear his thick footsteps in the office, but I try to remain calm."Babe...""Don't call me that," I cut him off, avoiding his eyes, and I hear him sigh."Fine! I'm sorry," He utters in a low tone that I can barely hear him. I watch as he walks over to his seat and sits on the chair."Uhm... Have you eaten before coming here? Do you want me to get you something to eat?" He asks as she clasps his fingers together, and I scoff."I'm

    Chapter 62Clarissa POVI woke up quite early today and decided to bathe, since Charity has taken care of the chores as usual. I can't hide the fact that I'm excited about meeting Miguel today, but then, it still doesn't change the fact that he is not a human."You are only going there because Charity insisted," I remind myself as I look at my reflection in the mirror. I'm currently alone in the room, sinks Charity is preparing breakfast in the kitchen. I told her I wasn't hungry, but insisted that I eat before I leave the house. After I'm done getting dressed, I finally leave the room and head to the kitchen, but luckily, she is already in the dining room, dishing out the food."Perfect timing. Come here, come and have a seat. You will love the food I made," She smiles at me as she pulls out the chair for me to sit on, and I roll my eyes."What's with that now? Is there something you are not telling me?" I pull a puzzled look, but she shakes her head before she goes to stand behind m

Are they getting back together? Well, I have no answer to those questions.I got a call earlier while at the restaurant that my sister got involved in a fight with someone at a friend's party, and I had to rush down there to check on her. Yes, I have a little sister, although we don't live together. Jessica is my twenty years little sister who left the Pack and decided to live on her own after she turned eighteen. We only got to see each other once in a blue moon, and guess what! She's a writer. I can count how many times we've seen each for the past two years since she left the Pack. She's always busy, and the same with me. I have no idea what caused the fight between her and the girl, but from what a source heard they were fighting over a man. Over a fucking bastard!"What's with that smile?" I

She is sitting on the edge of the bed after she had her bath, and I just came out of the bathroom too."I told you I will do that when I'm about to sleep," I reply to her as I take the hand drier and set to dry my hair."Come on, just do that now. I will help you dry your hair when you are done. Do you want me to massage your back for you? Where is it hurting? Is it here? Here? Or here?" She asks as she touches my shoulders, and I shake my head."Fine, just get away from me. I will call him now," I push her off lightly, and she smiles."Alright. I will help you get your phone," She utters before she walks over to the bed and picks up the phone."Here, sweetheart," She grins from ear to ear as she hands me the phone, and I roll my eyes as I snatch it from her."Do you really think it's a good idea to call him this time?
