I searched for Ken because I expected him to be around, but he was nowhere to be found. His level-headedness made me rate him above Chadwick.He was the logical one and although he wasn't romantically interested in me, he cared so much about my interest that despite his absence from the party, he had figured that Dave was the fool who had attacked me.Ken even called to apologize, something Chadwick would never do in a million years. I repeatedly had thoughts on how different things would be if the moon goddess had given me Ken as my mate. It would have been a dream come true, considering how perfect he was in looks and attitude. I struggled to find any flaws in him, unlike Chadwick, who had a surplus of them.Chadwick was better looking to me because of our bond, but his assholishness made it difficult for me to look past his looks. "Our mate is the best," my wolf grumbled within me. "He's even a philanthropist. Can you match his actions today?""Oh shut up, Bea," I said loudly,
ChadwickMy alarm rang at 6:00 AM, but I ignored it and pulled my blanket over my head. I was so unmotivated to go to work, and although I was the CEO and had a lot of freedom to do whatever I liked, I had a habit of going early to work. But this morning, I just wanted to stay in bed.The alarm rang again at 6:15, and by the time I realized it was Monday and I had the accursed board meeting at 9:00, I panicked and jumped out of bed.Those bastards were not innocent, and I knew they must be behind that attack. All they did every Monday was send their men to bombard me with criticisms and questions.While I was brushing my teeth, my hand shook, and my toothbrush dropped on the floor. I cursed under my breath for being anxious over those bastards.Disgusted, I threw the toothbrush in the trash and looked at myself in the mirror. I was sweating, and I felt a knot in my stomach.I can't be scared of evil people, especially when I haven't done anything wrong to them.To numb my anxiety, I s
AshantiThe second I scented Chadwick's strong aura behind me, every nerve ending of my body began to tingle in excitement and raw desire as it always did whenever he was close by. Before he walked in I was organizing some files on my desk, sorting them by date and category and putting them in folders but as I was reaching for the last file, I accidentally knocked over a stack of folders and binders. They fell off my desk and scattered on the floor.Cursing under my breath, I got off my chair and bent down to pick them up and that was when I realized that Chadwick was nearby.He stood outside my door, not moving or saying anything, but his eyes expressed everything I needed to know and the fire of desire licked up inside of me like a hungry snake.“Can I help you sir?” I managed to speak, pretending to sort out some files. Full of heat and pure sex, his eyes gave my body a bold, sweeping gaze and desire flared in them. My inner wolf responded without thinking. Without giving him an
AshantiFollowing the mind-blowing make-out session with Chadwick, I soared with happiness. It had been a long time since I felt such immense joy, perhaps even never before.Continuing with my daily activities, all I did was smile. Chadwick called me into his office to plan future meetings and compile necessary materials. I pretended not to notice the intense gaze he fixed upon me.He stared at me with a hunger that seemed as though he wanted to devour me."Why do you keep on staring at me?" I asked, my lower lip caught between my teeth. "Is there something on my face?""Don't do that.""Do what?" I feigned ignorance."You know exactly what I mean. It's fucking distracting me.”I nonchalantly shrugged, focusing on organizing some reports into a folder."You're breathtakingly beautiful. I can't help but admire you."My heart raced like a marathon runner."Thank you, but you're my boss and company policy prohibits inter-office relationships.""Rules can be bent," he smirked. "Besides, I
ChadwickMy week was a flop. Being the CEO of this huge company was beginning to take a toll on my mental health. I discovered that my manager, the supposedly capable Matthew, was just an oaf, incapable of doing anything and not contributing anything to the company's success.Ken brought up Matthew's failure to meet project deadlines casually, but I didn't pay attention to it until I realized that the guy lacked initiative, failed to communicate properly with the team, and showed little interest in the company's growth.I marched to his office to give him a piece of my mind."Matthew, I'm very disappointed in you. You've been working in this company for three years, and yet there has been no noticeable improvement in your work. You're consistently late, you miss deadlines, you make lots of arrows, and you expect others to do your work for you. How do you explain such gross misconduct?"He looked like someone who had just been slapped in the face. "I'm sorry, sir, but the thing is I've
Ashanti The clock struck ten AM, and my heart surged with panic. Adrenaline shot through my system, and I took deep, controlled breaths. It was almost time for the annual office photoshoot, and I knew I couldn't be in it if I wanted to keep my secret safe and stay away from my father.I loved this job because I was close to my mate, but I hated the attention it brought especially today. Everyone was dressed in matching blue shirts with the company logo and different pants of their choice. I wore a black pencil skirt and heels.It seemed the universe was mocking me, saying, "You can't hide forever." My father was looking for me; I was sure of that, and he had connections in the human world. Risking being in the photo shoot was dangerous because I knew it would be shown in mainstream media. My dad watches a lot of TV and monitors the human world closely. He might recognize me, and I would be doomed.Laughter and chatter from outside the office filled my ears. My colleagues were headin
AshantiSharon glared at me with disgust written all over her face. I was sick and tired of her stupid entitlement and harassment. "You need to back off and leave me alone," I warned her. "If you ever try to harass me or lay a finger on me in the office premises, I'll report you to Chadwick, and if you do it outside, you may not like the result."She burst into mocking laughter. "Oh, I'm so scared. Look at me trembling. If Chadwick didn't hire you, what business would I have with a slut like you?”My blood boiled. Tim Walker was a billionaire, but was nothing close to my dad's wealth.Sometimes I wanted to gloat about who I really was, but I had lost that right because I was hiding from my dad and there’d no evidence of my claims now that I've cut ties with him.Sharon's brother, Henry, walked into my office and noticed the dirty look Sharon was throwing at me."Sharon, what are you doing here? And why are you bothering Ashanti?" Sharon turned around, glaring at her brother. "What
ChadwickAfter getting over my shock, I experienced a resentful awareness that Ashanti was with that oaf, Henry. It made my ribs squeeze tight with envy and felt like a slap in my face when I saw her sitting at a table across the room with him. They looked cozy, and Henry even had the guts to touch her hand and laugh.Mom kept going on and on, and I tried hard to focus on my dinner. I had a ritual to always take my mom to dinner at least once in two weeks. But now, I had the strong urge to walk over to Ashanti's table and yank her out of here."She's not your girlfriend," my subconscious reminded me. "You have no right over her. Also, this is not the office where you can lord over everyone."My mom was talking nonstop about her book club and the new yoga class she joined. I nodded and smiled, pretending to listen, but my eyes kept wandering to Ashanti's table. Despite not wearing makeup, she was so beautiful that it hurt."Chad, are you okay?" my mom asked, noticing my lack of appeti
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. I’m glad you found happiness.”With a playful wink, his blue eyes twinkl
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

GeorgeBefore I hit Camilla, my heart was bristling with rage, and I wanted to let it out, but after I did, I felt so stupid. My hands fell to my side, and I felt so heavy with regret.She stood there, her hands on her cheek, horrified like a child who had just witnessed something horrible. 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. But the damage was already done. Camilla was quiet, her back still turned to me.She was leaving when I rushed to hold her back and wrapped my arms aro

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
