Chapter 7

Clarissa POV

Watching a movie with my boss happens to be the happiest thing I've ever done. Right from when the movie started and ended, he maintained a straight face even when it was an emotional movie that makes one cry. Some of the men there cried, I wonder why he didn't, anyway.

"Do you cry that often when you watch movies?" He asks as he drives us down the dark road, and I slowly nod my head. I may be a stubborn extroverted girl, but trust me, I'm also emotional.

"Yes, I cry when the movie is emotional. I cry when I read books," I reply to him and giggle because this is so embarrassing. My boss doesn't seem bad after all. Although he doesn't like talking much, he's cool and really fun to be with.

"You shouldn't cry about such things. They are just fiction and not real," He shrugs while still having his eyes fixated on the road, and I nod my head in agreement with what he said.

"Hmm... I just can't help it always," I reply to him, and he nods his head. For the next two

    Chapter 8Alpha Miguel "You can't keep staying like this without a mate, Alpha. You need to find another mate, or better still, let's choose one for you. Thank the gracious lord that one can always have a chosen mate," Ralph, one of the chiefs utters, and I groan frustratingly while rubbing my forehead. This is the reason I detest coming to the castle, I prefer to live as a CEO peacefully amongst the human, but I can't deny the fact that I also have responsibilities here, right?"We even went as far as hosting a birthday party for you yesterday and invited the maidens from the pack and other neighboring packs in a bid to get you a mate, but you didn't show up Alpha. What is really going on?" Gael, another one says as he stands up to his feet, and I sigh briefly."Alpha, other Packs are going to mock us, and may even call our Alpha a weak impotent man that can't satisfy a woman which was why he hasn't gotten one in his life," Gael further says, and that is it. How dare he call me impo

    Chapter 9Alpha Miguel I drive to the company as usual and head to my office. Since Clarissa always came before me, I am not so surprised to see her already at her post and doing her job."Good morning, Sir," She stands up and smiles at me shyly as soon as I walk inside the office, and I nod my head at her."Morning. Get my schedule for next week and submit it on my desk immediately," I say to her before I proceed to my office.Sitting behind my desktop a few minutes later and working, I keep getting distracted as the thought of Clarissa filled my heart.'Impotent' as the word ring in my head for the nth time, I scoff angrily and recline on the chair. Maybe I should just give this a try and prove them wrong that I'm not impotent, I need to prove to them that I can be with a woman, but then I'm scared of being the cause of the death of another innocent lady again."Sir, can I come in?" Still lost in thoughts, her voice sounds from outside, bringing me back to reality."Come in," Follo

    Chapter 10Clarissa POVMy heart wavers in excitement as my boss drives me down the road. I keep glancing at him occasionally, and I can't help admiring his perfection. Unlike when I just started working here, he has really changed from being a ghost-like and introverted boss to a fun person, even though he talks less."Why do you live alone? Aren't you married?" I ask him out of the blue as a result of my curiosity, and he glances at me. I mean, he's old enough to be married, and for him to tell me that he lives alone is kind of questionable."No, I'm not married. Why do you ask?" He replies to me casually, and I smile. For some unknown reason, I feel excited about his answer. Yes, I have a crush on him, but that doesn't mean that I should be happy that he's not yet married, right?"Nothing," I shake my head, and he nods his head.The rest of the drive to my apartment was filled with silence, and we finally arrive after about twenty minutes of driving."Thanks for the ride, Sir," I s

    Chapter 11Clarissa POVI made sure I look great today since I'll be going out with my boss later. Although I have no idea where he'll be taking me yet, but I made sure I dressed exclusively today so I can stand out later."Is your boss going to introduce you to his family? What's with that dress?" Charity had asked me before I left for the office in the morning, but I only rolled my eyes at her.I have been in the office for quite some minutes now, but he's not yet here. Feeling insecure about my dress, I decided to go check myself out in the restroom, maybe if there's anything I should fix in my body before he comes to the office.Returning to my office a few minutes later, I find him already sitting behind his desk in his company, and I sigh disappointedly. I wanted him to see how beautiful I look in the dress, and maybe getting a compliment or two from him would assure me that I didn't waste my time.I sigh briefly as I slump on my chair and resume work reluctantly.

    Chapter 12Clarissa POVWe finally arrive at the restaurant after a few minutes of driving, and the waiter served me the food I ordered immediately. It's not nice to rush food, but I don't have a choice at this point, since I'm so famished."You haven't told me about yourself yet," I break the awkward silence as we stroll down the street of the restaurant later, getting fresh air. It's past 8pm already, and everywhere is dark, except for the street light that is still keeping the street alive. We left the restaurant a few minutes ago after I finished having my meal, and strangely, he didn't join me to eat, which had me questioning myself if he eats often. I've only seen him eating once, and I forced him to. Even during lunchtime, he never goes out to have lunch."I don't think there's much to know about me," He shrugs, and I glance at him."Just tell me the little you feel I should know," I reply to him, and he shrugs."Maybe about your family. Do you have a patent, siblings, and if y

    Chapter 13Clarissa POV"Why are you so excited? Did your crush ask you out?" Charity asks as we have dinner later. I got home a few minutes ago, and I've been overly happy since then. I didn't expect my boss would ever ask me out, and even if he was going to, I didn't expect it to be so soon, but it came sooner than I expected it, and I can't help being excited about it."Uhm... This is weird... Can you give me some time to think about it, please?" That was my reply to him, even though I wanted to tell him yes immediately. I didn't want to look like I'd been waiting for him to ask me out.'Can you give me a reply soon? I don't want to keep waiting' that was what he said to me before I finally left his car when he dropped me off earlier, and his voice rings in my head like he's here with me."I just asked you a question, Clarissa?" Charity hits a spoon on my forehead, bringing me back to reality."Hey! You didn't have to do that, right?" I wince pretentiously as I touch my forehead, b

    Chapter 14Alpha Miguel POVIt was difficult for me to suddenly start dating just like humans since it's not in our tradition, but I have to take things slow and act like a human, maybe I will be able to win her heart, and she won't have any option than to accept me later. Since she said yes to me via text yesterday, I guess we can now be called boyfriend and girlfriend.I left home this morning and headed to her house after I was done with my usual morning routine. I spent all night, surfing the internet and trying to get some information about how I can treat my girlfriend, and it's pretty weird the things that the internet taught me. It's weird, going to her house to pick her up for work, but I know that I really have to do this if I want to win her heart.Her place doesn't look so great and well furnished, but that is not my problem, anyway."Wow!

    Chapter 15Clarissa POVWe had a long day at work, and it was really weird to think that I'm now dating my boss. It was also something to be excited about, because why not? I guess he's just not good at conversation, and maybe he was just shy.It was finally closing time, and I round up for the day, waiting for him in my office to join me so we can head to the movies since I already got two tickets for us.The door finally opened after about ten minutes of waiting and he walks into my office while maintaining a blank expression as always. Does he never smile?"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Should we go now?" He asks me, looking everywhere else except my face, and I hum as I nod my head."Sure," And with that, we finally head out of my office with him leading the way.The employees keep throwing glances at us as we walk through the lobby minutes later, but I don't really care about them though, because why the hell should I?

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

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?"

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

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?
