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
Chapter 39Axel POV Sitting in the living room of my apartment in the city and relaxing, memories of days ago flood my mind, and I can't help but ask myself who that lady was. 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
Chapter 40Charity POVA dead silence plays in the atmosphere as I sit in front of him in his office, fondling with my fingers. I didn't know I would run into him here again. 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 will be coming he
Chapter 43Alpha Miguel I glance at her for the second time through the visor, but she is only resting her head on the window glass and staring out as if she is looking at something there. 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 44Carl POV "What is wrong with you, Carl? Have you lost it?" Mom yells at the top of her voice as she trails behind me to the living room."I told you that I'm not interested in getting married to Emily...""But you were interested in sleeping with her...""It was just a one-time thing for goodness sake, why have you been bringing it up all the time and making me look like I took advantage of her?" I can't help the anger that rushes through my vein as I turn to face the woman that is hell-bent on ruining my life, by forcing me into marriage with someone I don't even have feelings for. When will she stop this? When will she realize that I'm old enough to make decisions for myself? When will she realize that I'm no more a kid that she has to be looking out for all the time? Those are the questions I have been asking myself all this while and never got the answer to any of them."It was a one-time thing, but do you know the scar you left in her heart? You slept with her and you
Chapter 45Clarissa POV The last few days have been filled with me hanging out with Miguel and getting to know each other more. He has been overly protective of me. He calls me all the time to make sure that I'm fine, which makes me feel like something is off.It's a beautiful Wednesday morning, and since I took the day off from work so I can go see a neurologist later, I decided to take the day off. I had to lie to Miguel that I had something urgent to take care of at home, but the truth is, I've been disturbed by the constant weird nightmare I kept having without any explanation. I need to find a solution to it before it drives me crazy."Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Charity asks for the third time as she watches me get ready, and I sigh briefly."No, I'll be fine," I reply to her, and she hesitates before she nods her head."It'll be going to the publishing house later then. Let's hang out tonight when I get back home, ok? I'm going to give you feedback about wh
