My heart raced like an overwound clock as I waited for Harrison to say something, but he remained silent, and the silence was eating at me.

"Harrison, please, I beg you, say something," my voice trembled. "I know this revelation will change everything between us, but I need to hear your thoughts. I won't blame you if you are disgusted or even hate me."

He remained mute as if there were a stone in his tongue. Cars drove past, and the more Harrison remained silent, the more my dread grew.

Why the hell did I open my big mouth to traumatize him? Plus I was going to get kicked out of the apartment for sure.

"I... My thoughts are blank. I don't even know what to say or where to begin. Is this some sort of prank?"

I shook my head. "That's what I am, Harrison."

"Hold on, werewolves like in the movies?"

I was this close to saying movies did not depict half of what real werewolves looked and acted like, but I swallowed my words.

Harrison's mouth opened and closed like a fish, lightly t

    AshantiMy eyelids were heavy with exhaustion, and I sagged into my chair at the office. It wasn't even midday yet, and all I wanted was to sleep. I had drowned myself in coffee, but that barely kept me awake, and I had to constantly move around, making sure to use excessive concealer under my eyes.Ken called for me, and I lightly slapped my cheeks to wake up and got my ass up to his office. Ken was always busy, and I hadn't seen Chad all morning."Have you ever handled calendar and schedule management before?" he asked me without lifting his head off the laptop."Of course," I cleared my throat."Good, you're going to manage my meetings and that of the executive members. Make sure the appointments and events are properly organized and communicated, and henceforth, you'll have to handle some of my emails, phone calls, and messages."I nodded, forgetting that he wasn't staring at me. He lifted his head, meeting my eyes. "Will that be overwhelming for you?""Of course not; it's someth

    Chadwick's POVAfter Ashanti chose me, Ken's lips twisted in a tangled knot, and he gave me a slanted look. The more he did that, the more my laughter intensified. I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt.'Why in the devil's name are you so selfish, Chadwick? I can't believe you're stealing her away. Ashanti; you better watch out for your boss because he's a sly one.'I watched Ashanti fiddle with the file in her hands. Her lashes dropped, and slowly she opened her eyes. Shame and desire mingled hot in my throat. I had no idea what had gotten over me, but even a blind person would be able to see her beauty.Her skin was milky like peach-tinted cream, making her look like a flower, and her hair was a rich glowing ginger color.'Suck it up, Ken,' I said, peeling my gaze away from Ashanti. 'I'll get you another secretary, one with a master's degree if you wish, but for now, sip your tears.'Ken rolled his eyes, grumbling under his breath, and I turned to face Ashanti. 'I've got an importa

    AshantiThree days of working in Wolfgang as a secretary made me go into a routine and a whirlwind of tasks. I was always behind my desk, typing furiously on my computer, preparing reports and memos, taking nonstop calls, checking mail, and filing documents.It was fun for me because I saw my mate now and then. Seeing him every day gave me unexplainable joy and intense satisfaction from the bottom of my heart, it made me want to sing.All the unhappiness, disappointment, and gloom that I carried for years were slowly dissipating. Ken refused to let go of me, so I had to juggle between working for Chadwick and working for him. I wasn't complaining; after all, I was always on my own and never saw the need to interact with others outside of official duties.The clock ticked for lunch break, and I realized I hadn't even had a chance to take a sip of my morning coffee, let alone think about lunch. I had a lot of work to do; I needed to please Chadwick.Some people may say I was giving pick

    AshantiThe minute I spotted Dave at the party, I ducked my head and quickly scanned the place for an escape route. We were outside in the garden, and I was glad that the darkness was concealing me, but it was only a matter of time before they found me.With my heart pounding in my chest, I discreetly moved towards a group of ladies engaging in conversation and created a buffer between me and Dave.This guy was becoming a thorn in my flesh, and just when I thought I was avoiding one problem, another was waiting for me in front.I was so tired. At the same time, I had to keep Chadwick within sight because he would begin to suspect me if I left his side.All evening, I assumed that whenever I saw a dark blue jacket heading my way, it was Dave. It was weird that Dave, whose body was covered in tattoos and would never be caught dead wearing any formal outfits, wore a jacket tonight.I didn't want any issues tonight. I've worked hard to distance myself from negativity, and now that Chadwic

    Chadwick My eyes were heavy with boredom and the need to run away from this place. Ken always said I was slowly becoming a hermit and disliking people; maybe he was right because this party was filled with business owners and competitors, and in my world of billionaires, the jealousy among competitors was overwhelming. But I tried to stay. After all, I couldn't make it on my own without communicating and engaging in conversations with people who are better than I am. I gazed around the surroundings, wondering about Ashanti's whereabouts, and frowned when I spotted her in the company of some dude who was trying to warm up to her. Although I had a strong desire to yank his hand off her body, I reminded myself that she was my employee and not my girlfriend. "Oh, there you are, Chadwick." The host, Mr. Tim Walker, approached me with a smile. The man had a big belly, possibly from consuming alcohol. "You're doing a great job with the software installation for our laptops and gadgets.

    Ashanti With haste, I made my way to the bathroom, swiftly turning on the faucet and grabbing my bath soap. To ensure the water was very hot, I activated the heating system. The metallic tang of blood made me want to puke and caused my stomach to churn. Stripping off my clothes, I stood beneath the shower and scrubbed my skin until it turned a rosy hue. My wolf's recklessness would surely be the end of me. My heart raced and my blood boiled as I let the water rush over me in torrents. For a brief moment, the only sound was the pounding of water against my body. My fear consumed me. It felt as though a heavy weight of metal was pressing down on my temples, throbbing fiercely and causing waves of dizziness upon me. The bite had heightened my teeth sensitivity. The gruesome manner in which those men had met their end still turned my stomach, even at the mere thought of it. I felt like throwing up. Determined to distract myself, I began lathering my hair with shampoo. Yes, it was n

    D'AngeloAs soon as I laid eyes on my mate, every part of my body froze like a marble statue. I blinked rapidly, trying to make sure I wasn't lost in some dreamland.A painful thought echoed in my mind: What have I done to deserve this humiliation from the moon goddess? Why did she have solid plans to mess my life up?My wolf was pissed, knowing that ignoring our mate would make us unhappy forever. “She's our only chance to find true happiness!” It screamed at me.Though my mate was an omega, she was a slim, delicate beauty, with almost transparent crystal-blue eyes and curvy enough to get even an impotent man to come in a rush of fertile cream.But that was beside the point. The moon goddess was completely unapologetic about the troubles she was causing for me. She must be bonkers for pairing up an Alpha and Tribe leader of over two hundred werewolf packs with a filthy omega."I don't care. She's perfect, and I want her!" My wolf screamed in my ears when I lifted my mate's bloody bo

    Chadwick The yellow police tape cordoned off the crime scene, the exact area where my car had been parked. The flashing red and blue lights of two police cars outside my house added to the chaotic scene. I was aware that the officers were simply doing their jobs, but I was uncomfortable with the attention this was drawing from my neighbors, who were now whispering and exchanging worried glances. Broken glass sparkled on the ground from my shattered window, my eyes landed on two forensic experts in white suits carefully examining the surroundings for any traces of evidence. I knew my mom was on her way, and the last thing I wanted was for her to find out about what had happened to me last night. She would freak out and It would only worsen her already fragile health. And my young son was upstairs, too innocent to be burdened with the knowledge that his father had almost been killed, or to witness the gruesome blood. Two officers led me to a secluded corner for questioning. The ev

    Vespa's POVEvery detail about my wedding day brought joyful tears to my eyes. The tears were silent but uncontainable. I didn't mind that I was ruining my makeup in the process. On a beautiful summer afternoon, the biggest event of my life was about to take place. I felt like a fairytale princess and Kai made sure every detail I asked for in my dress and the decor was fulfilled. An archway adorned with roses and peonies, a velvet aisle runner that led me to my happily ever after. My fucking mermaid gown and a tiara, and oh, my groom who truly made my heart sing. This day was the start of our forever. Weak-kneed with excitement, I stood outside the majestic Moon Goddess Temple, a white, three-storey building with white marble pillars. My brother, Luke, waited for me with a warm smile, ready to walk me down the aisle.“You’re a gorgeous bride, sister. And it's not just your looks but the energy surrounding you.

    The taxi drove away from George's family mansion and I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I was finally free from their judgmental eyes and condescending smiles. I felt a bottomless peace and satisfaction wash over me, relieved to be out of George's claws. I'd thought he was different, but it turned out he was just like the rest of them.Fucking manipulative bastard. After paying the taxi driver, I stood outside Grandma Zora's house and let out a swoosh of air. I was hesitant to go inside, wondering if I should tell Grandma Zora and Ziah everything that had gone down with George. But I knew that if I did, Ziah would likely go mental and attack George. He had a temper, and I didn't want to make things worse. I stood there for a few moments, weighing my options. Part of me wanted to spill everything, to let someone know the truth about George's family and their cruel words. But another part of me wanted to keep it inside. I decided to keep quiet and headed inside.My gaze landed o

She blinked slowly and couldn't believe what had just happened.I trembled and slammed my fist on the couch. She took a step back, thinking I was going to hit her.“What the fuck?” Her voice cracked. It was a low tone of disbelief. “You hit me!?”“Camilla, I—”She turned away from me, and I felt a pang of guilt. What the fuck have I done?I had tried to control myself but couldn't. I was consumed by a jealous rage, and I blamed her for it. She went to fuck Ziah. I could bet on that with my last cent.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

    CamillaI tried and failed to restrain my smile when I overheard Lisa fuming at Paul.She was saying that I didn't deserve to release a single so early in my career and that no one ever got such luck.Lisa was a jealous sadist, and at the same time, she wasn't wrong. I was too lucky to have found Paul, who cherished my musical talent and gave me a chance.I covered my face with my bag and warmth spread through my body, satisfied that Lisa couldn't stop Paul from helping me. I didn't understand why she was so bitter and consumed by jealousy.It was ironic that she felt envious of my success when she had her own unique voice and sang better than me. I counted my good fortune and intended to milk my success for as long as possible, and Lisa would need to get ready for more.Oops. She shot me a 'you'll pay for this' look. My heartbeat quickened as she turned on her heel and walked away.“Whoa, that was some glare,” I said to Paul, who was smiling and opening his bottle of water."What ex

    CamillaHours turned into a day, and I was super uncomfortable and uneasy in George's house. Fortunately, he didn't ask for a blowjob or sex, and I was glad he wasn't entirely stupid. He worked from home and sat behind his desk all day, and his mom had gone to a convention, which suited me fine. After spending the day by myself, George came downstairs in the evening when I was watching TV. I became uncomfortable and sat up, eyeing him warily.“Baby, let's go shopping. I want to spoil you with the finer things in life. He walked over, put his arm around my shoulders, and hugged me tight. His lips were on mine, and before I could get out an objection, his fingers were stroking my hair.He kept kissing my neck, and I fought the urge to gag. He stopped and looked at me expectantly.“You should be resting. Don't worry about me,” I said, looking down at my hands fidgeting on my lap. “And I think I should go home now. I'm not comfortable staying here anymore."“I insist,” he said and leane

    "She's with her boyfriend, the doctor."Vespa's tongue went limp, and when I gave her a summarized version of all that has been going on with Camilla and George, her eyes doubled in size."He sounds very manipulative. I don't think Camilla should be with him if she doesn't want to. The fact that she rejected his proposal is enough warning.""Grandma said if she leaves him, he'll kill himself. Camilla must be feeling guilty and feels that it's her obligation to take care of him.""That can never be me," Vespa said under her breath, and I nudged her playfully.When Kai called for a meeting, I knew he was about to enact some stupid rule that would only favor himself. I stared at him blandly and watched as Grandma Zora sat in her favorite chair."This had better be quick. I have a show to attend," Zeke said. "Fine," Kai said, rising. "As you all know, Vespa's coronation is near. She has decided to reject two people, and we know who they are." His voice was commanding and final and he gl

    ZiahThe silence in the house was deafening, it felt like a heavy emptiness that echoed through every room. My heart felt just as hollow, like something was missing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. It was like I was searching for something, but I didn't know what I was looking for, or maybe I just didn't want to admit it to myself.I was stuck in a funk, waiting for Vespa's return after five long days away with Kai. But instead of excitement, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Camilla.Camilla…Even the mere mention of her name turned me on. I couldn't shake her off, no matter how hard I tried. I let out a frustrated sigh and gazed out the window, watching the trees sway in the breeze. It was like my heart had a mind of its own, stubbornly fixated on someone who wasn't even meant to be mine. I wondered if Camilla had cast some sort of spell on me - how else could I explain this crazy, all-consuming attraction? It defied all logic, especially since I already had
