"See, we should just leave here already," Alpha Xavier said, lifting her by the hand.When she stood up, she asked again. "Where is this place?" she looked at the dark surrounding environment."At a garden by the roadside," the second man replied as they all walked out.Soon they arrived by the roadside, and that was when Emily was able to see the men clearly.She had seen Alpha Xavier before, but on that day he was on his bike all through, and even though she could tell that he was tall, she never imagined that he was up to six feet and seven inches. With his height, he was way taller than Emily, who was barely up to five feet and three inches. She could see his hazel eyes as they sparkled even with the light that barely shone brightly. His shirt was tight and exposed his six packs, and the loosened buttons at the top of his shirt exposed his hairy chest, leaving much to be imagined.Even with teary eyes, Emily could still notice his biceps, which were revealed by the tightly fitting
"Hey, you stop." Don Nick called on Emily not to leave the office.It has not been easy for Emily to work directly under Don Nick. He is a very busy man, and ever since he returned, Emily has been able to avoid him even while working as his PA.Anyway, he does not need her to do much. Her major task as his PA was to set reminders and ensure that everything that had to do with him was within schedule.She ensured, among others, that his meals arrived on time, his meetings didn’t overlap, and his appointments were kept. It is also within her duty to travel with him on business trips, but there has not been a single trip since she resumed, and she hoped that it would continue this way.Today he is having a meeting with some top clients, and she stepped in to hand over the urgent report that just arrived at the office to him. It was at the point of her wanting to leave after handing over the report that he called her back.She was nervous when she entered and completely avoided his gaze,
Emily immediately looked up at Don Nick."I have been calling you for some time now, but for some reason best known to you, you seem not to be here," he added."Sir... I..." she stuttered.It was at this point that her eyes went around the room, and she saw that it was just her and her boss that were inside. Every other person has left, and she does not know when they all left. In her anxiety, she tried to locate the time to know for how long she had been absent-minded.He went on. "I have been calling you... ehm...""Emily sir, my name is Emily," she put in."Yes, Emily. I know that," he said. "Do you still want this job?" he asked, staring sternly at her.Hearing his question, she immediately sprung to her feet. Yes, sir, yes, sir, I love this job," she replied anxiously.He taps his fingers on his table and rolls on his chair. "I doubt you do..."Emily, sir..." she added.He grinned and continued. "If you do, you will not depict so much mediocrity""Sir..." Emily was stunned. "I ap
Emily stood at the company’s premises, staring blandly at her phone. She was so confused, and she does not know what to do next. This is the seventh time that she has called Tyler today, and yet the call keeps diverting. She does not need to be told that he blocked her number from reaching him, and it hurts her so badly that he despised her.This past week, she had done everything she could to reach out to Tyler and get him to listen to her, but he had refused all approaches. She had been to his apartment on several occasions, but on such occasions, he would not open the door for her to enter. She had even sent countless text messages to him to express her sincere apology, but even that had not moved him. He read her numerous messages but never responded.Emily loves Tyler so dearly, and she does not want to believe that this would be the end for her and him and the love they once shared. He is one person who gave her hope and made her believe that life was worth fighting for even in
The door opened, and Tyler brought his head out. Seeing that it was Emily, he hissed. He was about to go out, and that was the reason why he did not bother to know who was at the door before proceeding to open it. Moreover, he never expected that Emily would try to reach him even up to this time considering his cold response to her pleas.Tyler," Emily said with a smile she forced herself to put up.She could not believe that she finally got to be face-to-face with him after such a long time, and this gave her soul joy. She missed him, and seeing him standing before her, she felt like wrapping herself up in his embrace."Tyler, I have been calling you... all along," she tried to ignore his coldness towards her. "But... but... you..." her voice became teary."Stop it, Emily!" he yelled. "Just how pretentious can you get?""But... but... I... I tried to..." she tried to smile as she spoke with her teary voice, but she could not hold back the tears any longer.Seeing her tears further in
"What do you mean you gave her leave to do that?" Elise Lee yelled at her husband, Oscar Lee."Come on, darling, what do you have me do?" Oscar replied and slouched on the fancy sofa in the sitting room.Elise remained standing in front of him. "You could have just said no, isn’t that logical?" she persisted."We need this money, and there is no denying that fact," the exhausted Oscar Lee replied.He was tired of the idea of Elise having to question his authority every other time, especially when it had to do with Emily. She was still his daughter, and even though he does not qualify to be called her father, he will still try to do right by her."We may need the money, but that doesn’t warrant giving her too much leverage. She should always remain under our watch. You know what we are trying to protect," Elise said.Oscar heaved and tried to adjust his sitting position. This is the truth that he was trying to hide from Emily, and he would do everything to achieve that. It started with
"Daddy..." Samantha began."Yes, my precious daughter, I am listening," Oscar replied with all the patience that he could muster."Actually, it is about Don Nick, Emily’s boss, the one she had traveled with. I mean... about her relationship with him. Her illicit affair with him," she replied."Okay, I see..." Oscar nodded.Oscar thought about what Samantha had just revealed, but he could not see the big deal in such a thing. However, he felt bad that Emily had left the house using a different excuse.Seeing that her father was not getting the gist, Samantha quickly added. "He was the one she had spent the night with after the party. She had lured him into the act."At this point, Oscar Lee was shocked. He knew that Emily had gone beyond what he could vouch for, but he never imagined that it had gotten to the extent of luring a man to sleep with her. "She did..." he stuttered."Yes, daddy. And I tried to talk her out of it and make her see a reason to stick with her boyfriend, Tyler, b
Samantha gritted her teeth as she gazed at her father. She could not understand what he was thinking or why he would think in such a way. All along, the plan had been to suppress Emily, and seeing her father deviating from that seemed weird to her."Come of it, Oscar..." Elise giggled, shaking her head. "You amuse me. And you think that loser would want to take a second look at you?" she asked.This sounded unbelievable to Elise. Of course, all she wanted was to get the family out of its present state of penury, but she does not see the possibility of such a thing coming from Emily. All along, they have prepared her daughter, Samantha, for this, and if anyone should be married to a rich man and bring home a rich in-law, then it has to be her daughter."And that is what I have been thinking of, Elise. She is so daft and could be easily manipulated. All we have to do is get her to feel indebted to us for her life. She must be made aware that she owes us everything, down to the air that
Samantha was inside the sitting room with her mother when Oscar Lee entered the house looking perturbed. “Is she back?” he inquired.“Not at all, daddy” Samantha replied.“This is serious. What the heck had happened to her?” he lamented. “Has either of you been able to contact her?” he asked.“Her phone has been switched off since yesterday” Elise responded.Oscar Lee thought about this for a few seconds before he spoke. “And is she with that man, hmm... Don Nick, is there a way you would know that?” his question was directed to Samantha.“No, she is not. Maybe this time, she had run off. I knew that was what she would do” Samantha responded. “A loser, that is what she is” she gritted her teeth.“She dares not run away, where would she go to?” Oscar Lee exclaimed, gnashing his teeth.“I overheard her talking about Yonder Pearls City. And how accommodating it is for humans and wolves alike” Samantha replied furiously. “She dares not go there, I will look for her even to the end of the
“Oh no, I am so hungry” Emily groaned in pain inside the dark room, hoping that one of the fierce men would decide to take pity on her and release her.“You keep quiet” one of the twins, Kimberly yelled.Kimberly and her sister had just opened the door when they heard Emily’s plea. The room was dark, and the light was turned. Four fierce men stood at the corners of the room without giving a thought about Emily’s constant pleas.“Oh, Miss, please let me go home, I have been here for long” Emily begged as she saw that the twins were back. “Let me return home and I promise that I would be gone before you know it. I can't go on with the CEO, please believe me” she cried.Tied to the iron chair, Emily’s whole body was already in excruciating pain and it was beginning to look as if she will soon become numb because of the inability to move any part of her body because of how firmly she was tied to the chair.She has been dealt with mercilessly by the twins, and the fierce men they had hired
“Don’t try to play dumb with us, Emily, we can no longer be fooled by you” Timberline warned.At this point, Emily decided that it was truly useless trying to play dumb with the twins. Soon she would be gone far away from here, and she will no longer pose a threat to any of their ambition to get laid with the CEO, or whatever their plans are.“I am sorry, but it was all the CEO’s idea, and there was nothing I could do about it. And just to put your minds at rest, I will be gone far from here by the end of the month, and then either of you can have him. I won't stand in the way, I promise” She assured them.Her words sounded ridiculous to them. They hated her audacity and wanted so much to smash her head against a wall right there and then to teach her a lesson never to mess with any of them in the future.What annoyed the twins most is not the fact that she dared to date the CEO having been aware of their respective interests, but that the CEO would look her way a second longer. They
It was close of work, and Emily walked out of the office complex staring blankly ahead of her. Her mind was completely preoccupied with weird thoughts.These past two days had been the most challenging for her. Trying to avoid Don Nick is not a task that Emily would have undertaken willingly. But then she had to do it, if not for herself, but for his sake.She knew what Samantha can do, and she was aware that there was no stopping her once she starts.Truly, the fear of Samantha is the beginning of staying out of trouble.Wallowing in her thoughts, she made her way to the gates. For now, she had not yet decided how she was going to leave the company. One of the options available to her was to send her resignation through Mr. Josh considering the fact that he was the one that gave her the job.Emily knew that she will get Josh to agree to keep her decision away from Don Nick until she was gone. She figured that in that way, she wouldn't need to bring up the issue with Don Nick since he
“W... what...” she exclaimed and the phone dropped from her hands unconsciously.Samantha proceeded to pick up the phone and returned it to Emily. “You may have to watch until the end, sister,” she taunted mischievously.Emily looked at Samantha, her eyes depicting hate, pure hate for the lady to who she had thought that she owes her existence. Never would she have imagined that Samantha had gone to this extent to blackmail her. She just stated that she wants to fight fair, but to Emily, this shameless act was far from being fair. It was brutal, gross, gruesome, and everything bad and terrible.“But... but you can't do... do this, Samantha” Emily cried, and stopped the video that was playing on the phone.Samantha giggled, happy with the tremendous feat that she had just achieved. “Says who, Emily, who can stop me?” she retorted.She loved to see the fear instilled on Emily.“This is... wrong” Emily replied, pointing at the screen of the phone. “It... is every... every shade of wrong.
Emily cannot say for sure how long she had stayed in the basement or what time it is, but she had fallen asleep, and in her sleep, she had the most unpleasant nightmares all thanks to her hunger. She opened her eyes and yawned, and that was when she realized that she had woken up as a result of the sound coming from the sitting room. She tried to cease her breathing but was barely able to achieve that because as it is, she was too weak to properly direct the function of any part of her body. No soon has she woken up that the door to the basement open. She froze, but soon her head was nodding involuntarily in sleep and hunger. “Hey you, there?” Samantha’s voice was heard. “Hey, Sama...” Emily murmured with the last strength in her. She did not try to move closer to the door because she was too weak and she felt that Samantha was only here to bring some food to her. “Hey, Emily, don’t tell me that you forgot to take some food along with you. What are you still doing in there?” Sama
While Samantha was going on with her task, Emily would not stop thinking of the whole event, and she decided to get more answers from Samantha who was the only one available to provide them. “And mother and father, are...” The unhappy Samantha cut in. “Father mind linked me to come home for you. Seems he still got some use for you. Left for me, I would not give a damn. I don’t care whatever happens to you” She said as a matter of fact. Samantha is not one to sugarcoat words. “Thank you” Emily replied nonetheless. Samantha's words hurt her, but she was grateful that she went out of her way to come for her. Without acknowledging Emily’s thanks, Samantha went on. “We are still on the lookout for the intruders, and we fear that they operate through some insiders. And you know how this goes. Should the intruders not be caught, then the humans among us are in trouble...” Hearing this, Emily exclaimed. “Huh...” This is a fact that was clear to Emily, but each time she hears of it, she n
It was a cold morning and Emily woke up from the bed with a fright. The loud sounds and indiscreet growls had woken her, and she looked around her dark room in fear. She could hear the shouting and screams of werewolves coming from outside the house. She took her phone and checked the time, and it was past four in the morning. The noises were getting louder, and all she could do was jump out of the bed. This is an occurrence that she was already accustomed to, and it always happens when there were intruders in the pack, most especially rogues. Being indoors she could not ascertain the magnitude of the situation, and all she was sure was that there was trouble in the land, and as for how big the trouble was, she could not tell but she knew very well that it was huge enough to take her life. Without a second thought, Emily grabbed her duvet and ran out of her room. Every member of her family had gone out to wad off the intruders, and all Emily could do was hide until they come back an
Emily looked up at him to be sure that she heard him clearly and to show his seriousness, he repeated himself. “Yes, Emily, come and live in this mansion with me, and I promise that no one will ever be able to hurt you” he assured her. Emily was no fool, she knew that he can do just what he said. If he said no one would be able to hurt her in his care, then no one would dare to get close to her. But then what would people think of her, what will her family see her as, some cheap whore? She had been fighting all to no avail since that dreadful night with him to make her family have some trust in her, especially her father, Oscar Lee. Emily so much desired for the minute trust he had for her to be restored, and now he wanted to completely shatter her plans with his ridiculous yet tempting offer. Yes, shatter her plans, that is the only thing that living with him would achieve and Emily does not want such. It was enough that she was human amid werewolves, and she would not want to go r
