From Hester's point of viewI thought about it all night and decided the best thing to do would be to quit. This man felt nothing for me, the bond was growing stronger every day and he just wanted to sleep with me like I was a slut. Thinking about it, I prepared my letter of resignation and left early for the company. When I informed Bennett of my decision, he looked at me stunned and mocking. "What makes you think I'm going to leak it?" He said with a cynical tone. "You need a secretary willing to sleep with you in exchange for money. I'm not that one" I replied fearlessly Bennett frowned and pushed the folder back toward me "Are you crazy?"Before I could respond, Bennett opened a drawer next to him, pulled out my purse and placed it on the desk next to my phone. I reached out to take it, but he pushed it away from my grasp "No, I'll only give it back to you when you tell me where you spent the night.""What are you talking about?" I asked confused. "You know perfectly well wh
I went up the elevator running away from Bennett, however, when the elevator opened at the reception desk, a shrill voice reached my ears."Oh, it's Hester Winters!" said Delilah with a mocking tone.I turned to look at her with an annoyed expression and let out an exhausted sigh. However, she let out a smirk and looked at me with disgust. "Gosh, I can see you haven't had a good day, have you?""What do you want?" I replied, not hiding my temper. "I want to know how it went last night with Alpha. I bet you tried to seduce him, as you do with all the men you meet, but by your face, I see you didn't succeed" she said, making the others present mock. For a moment I wanted to retort, but I remembered what Bennett had proposed. Was I, to everyone else, a slut who only slept with men for money? Did Bennett think of me that way too?I remained silent, as the voice of another employee was heard"Do you sound like you know Miss Hester very well, is that right?" the clerk asked Delilah."Of
As I was in the cab on the way home, I went to the window and watched the whole ride.My mind kept replaying the words Bennett had said to me in the office. He seemed very confident in saying that I would go back to him, but a derisive snort left my lips. I would never go back to that guy, let alone everything he had said. Thinking about it, the car parked in front of my house and I thanked the driver before getting out. As soon as I entered the house, I greeted my mother and sat down next to her. "How did it go?" my mother asked."Good, a little exhausted. I just went to deliver something and I have the day off" I said feeling terrible for lying to my mother. She didn't ask many questions, but we did start talking a bit. I explained a couple of things to her and she understood perfectly. "I love you so much, Mom" I said giving her a huge hug. She smiled, kissed me on the cheek and hugged me back. Suddenly an idea flooded my mind and I couldn't help but ask "When you met dad di
I spent a few days thinking only about Bennett and what he said. At night I would lock myself in my room and cry, while trying to spend as much time as possible in the library hiding the truth from my friends and my mother....Fuck, I longed for the old Bennett to come back and never have said those words to me. I couldn't understand why everything had to be like that, what was the reason the world always treated me like that? As I thought about that, I sat on the bed and looked at the mirror next to it. My eyes were puffy and my lips were purple; my hair had even lost luster and I was lost. However, a voice was heard from the dining room "Daughter, let's eat".I sighed, wiped the tears from my cheeks and went down to the dining room. It was the weekend and my mother was missing me spending so much time at home. "Didn't you look a little exhausted, didn't you sleep well?" my mother asked. I was about to answer her when her phone started ringing. She answered and her eyes sparkl
I had spent the whole afternoon sleeping, so I wasn't sleepy. I lay in bed and tossed and turned all over the bed. I tried to read a little to get to sleep, but I couldn't. My mind kept playing images of Bennett and everything that had happened. My mind just replayed images of Bennett and everything that had happened. As I thought in bed, an idea occurred to me. Bennett knew I would beg for my brother again, just as I had done the first time.If so, I would have to go to the company again and confront him. As I thought about that, a deep sigh escaped my lips. Fuck, fuck! This couldn't be happening. I spent the whole night thinking about Bennett's proposal. Shit, I'd have to become the alpha's bitch to get my brother's Gamma position back. On the other hand, I couldn't let my mother know everything that had happened. She still had heart problems and any worry could make her sick. Hours passed and the sun finally came out. My whole body was shaking and my eyes were heavy. I got ou
From Bennet's point of view, From the moment I walked into the company, I noticed Hester's delicious smell. I immediately got a smile on my face and went upstairs to my office. To my surprise, Hester was in my office looking at me with a surprised look on her face. It was evident that my plan had worked to perfection. As soon as I sat down at my desk, I examined her from head to toe; the way she nibbled on her lower lip in a nervous manner excited me. At that, I shook my head and squeezed the cigarette between my fingers as I inhaled it to calm myself. "So, what are you doing here? Did you come to see if I signed the papers?" I said with a cold tone. She took a deep breath and looked down as she fiddled with her fingers under my gaze "I...I...I came to find out why you're doing this to me?" she asked, looking up again.I wanted to run over and hug her, then undress her and see her expression when I was fucking her. Was she as tight as I imagined? As I thought about that, a smi
From Hester's point of view As I left Bennett's office, I saw that several employees were watching the door. "What's going on?" I asked with a raised eyebrow."Is it true what they're saying?" one of the employees hinted, looking at me."What are you talking about?" I asked, confused. The employees looked at each other and gestured for me to come closer to the cubicle. I no doubt mingled with them and walked away."Alfa Bennett has been in a bad mood lately. They even say he fired you for..." I tried to say one of the employees. But before the man could finish speaking, I quickly interjected "What? If Alpha Bennett wanted me out of the company, don't they think I'd be far away from here? It's obvious they're wrong"I didn't feel like playing any more games with either of them. I just wanted to relax after solving the problem with my brother. Even though I basically sold my body for my family, I knew it was my fault for being destined for Alpha Bennett. "No, I didn't mean to offe
Shit, shit. Everything in me was going crazy. My mate was so close, and even though I had no feelings for him, our bond was total madness. "Don't worry. If you're not ready, it's okay. You'll learn in time" he said with a playful tone. Fuck, there was something about the way he spoke that ignited everything inside me. "You can't even imagine what I'm going to do to you. So just get ready" He whispered getting closer to my ear. I felt a wave of excitement run through my whole body. I tried to move to move away a little, but he squeezed my waist making me feel his fingers sink into my skin. "I can't be gentle with you. Every time I have you around I just want to be a fucking demon," he whispered in my ear.His words caused a fire to intensify between my legs. I couldn't and wouldn't move when suddenly he slid his lips to my cheek. Just when I thought he was going to kiss me, his lips stayed pressed together in a half moon. Shit, my wolf really wanted to feel his lips, but he was t
Derek looked at me with an annoyed expression as he turned his gaze back to Bennett. Immediately after, I saw Bennett too and felt his dangerous aura.In fact, I could sense his intentions. The man was looking at me and ordering me with his eyes not to say anything else and to go back to the room.However, I was tired of all the blackmail and abuse, so I let out a snort and opened my lips to continue speaking, but just then Walter took a step toward me.But when he tried to take her hand, she took a step back. At her reaction, Walter was stunned and shook his head."Hester... Hester, you don't have to be afraid. I've come with my men to rescue you,“ he said.I was speechless when I heard him say that. But he spoke again. ”Come on, tell me how the alpha Bennett forced you to marry him and trapped you here against your will. I promise nothing will happen to you and I'll get you out of this damn place right away!" he said, his sharp eyes fixed on my face.Hearing him, I looked up and wat
Despite my question, both Lya and the rest of the maids remained silent. They all looked away as Lya approached me. “Luna, let me take you back to your room.”“No. I want you to tell me where everyone is,” I said again, clenching my fists.Lya looked at me with a worried expression. "I'm sorry. It's just that... Alpha Bennett told us we couldn't tell you anything about it," she said nervously.In fact, I couldn't force them to break an order. They were just doing their job, and if they disobeyed Bennett, he could even fire them.Faced with that, I just waved my hand. “It's okay. I'll find out for myself,” I said.With that, I didn't wait for a response, but began walking around the first floor of the mansion, checking every room.Meanwhile, I could hear the maids' quick footsteps behind me. “Luna, please return to Alpha Bennett's room. He gave us clear orders: you should not be here!”“Luna...” she continued over and over again.Ignoring her, I continued my exhaustive search. However,
With a sigh, I turned around and scanned Bennett's room. In fact, I couldn't help but remember the first time I set foot in that room.That night, my world took an unexpected turn: I was a different person, who thought that the goddess had a perfect mate waiting for me.In fact, I thought Freddy would be my soulmate and that we would have a happy life, but thinking about it, a flash of anger ran through my body. How could I have been so stupid?Shaking my head, I slowly sat down on the huge bed. My whole head was a mess. Now I was the wife of that horrible man.I had no idea how I was going to live in the future. How much more was the moon goddess preparing to give me a happy life?With a thousand things on my mind, I lay silently on my back on the bed. I wanted to take my phone out of my pocket and check it, but when I saw that it was dead, I quickly put it on the bedside table.***I spent the whole day in Bennett's room. I had no idea what was going on in the huge living room. Howe
How the hell was Bennett so calm? Didn't he know what he had done? A powerful alpha like him should keep his word or be exasperated for breaking it, but Bennett acted as if he didn't even care what was happening.As I rambled on, I heard Damian clear his throat. I knew he was trying to calm himself down.“I think it would be best to talk about this calmly. Otherwise, we won't get anywhere if we get angry. The situation is delicate, and we all know it's wrong,“ said the former Luna, glaring furiously at the former alpha.“I think you're right. I know my son has a solution. He'll do the right thing,” said the former alpha.However, a chilling grimace formed on Damian's lips. “A solution? Tell me, would you be silent if Agatha were your daughter? Would you accept this?”At Damian's words, Alpha Bennett's parents lowered their heads as they exchanged glances.***Hester.The expression on Bennett's parents' faces showed that they had both lost the courage to stand up to their son.However
I couldn't understand why they were all repeating the same thing. How could Bennett be forced to marry a woman?I didn't even have time to process his words when I looked at Bennett, who had all his attention focused on Alpha Damian. In fact, he seemed really calm despite Alpha Damian's shouting.“Aren't you going to say anything? What you did is unacceptable. You're an alpha! You should have kept your oath!” At that moment, Bennett raised a hand and waved him off. “Alpha, Damian, you really are very loud. But you want an answer? I did everything I could to keep my oath, but your son left me no choice. Besides, the woman standing next to me is my mate. Do you really think I would let my wife marry Walter?”Of all the words Bennett had said, all my attention was focused on how he referred to me in front of the rest. Had he really addressed me as his wife? This all seemed like a bad joke.However, my thoughts were overshadowed by Alpha Damian's screams.“No! Stop! What will happen to m
When I heard Bennett's father's words, I was completely perplexed. What the hell? Had I heard wrong? How could the main alpha Bennett be forbidden to marry someone else?With that in mind, I turned to Bennett and looked at him with a confused expression. However, just then he fixed his poisonous eyes on his father.“You should have a little more respect for my words. In case you've forgotten, you're speaking before the Luna of this pack,” Bennett said, leaving everyone speechless.His father was stunned by his words. On the other hand, Bennett's mother looked like she was about to explode at any moment. The woman had a sickly expression on her face. In a matter of seconds, she took a step back when she heard her son.I thought she would sit back down, but instead she looked me in the eyes and pointed at me. “This is your fault! You did something to my son! I knew it! I knew it!” she yelled at me.“Mother!” Bennett said in a cold and dangerous tone.But despite Bennett's loud roar, his
I was speechless when I heard him say that. But before I could process it, Bennett spoke again. “I have to admit, I'm not interested in this silly and unnecessary family drama. But since it's obviously going to happen, why not enjoy it? So just pretend you're happy in this marriage, like I told you, and everything will turn out better than expected,” he hinted before winking.What the hell? Maybe he had radon, so I immediately stopped struggling and relaxed. With a sigh, I let go of his hand and we took a couple of steps toward the sofas where everyone was sitting.***BennettI took Hester's hand and stood up before turning my gaze to my mother, who was staring at my hand and Hester's.“Mother, as always, it's a pleasure...” I said mockingly.But before I could finish my words, my mother interrupted, ‘What is she doing here? What's going on?’ My mother looked at me in surprise. A slight smile formed on my lips as I looked into the eyes of everyone in the room.“I'm so glad everyone
On the other hand, when a few minutes had passed, I received an important call. After all, I knew that things would intensify from that moment on, but all my thoughts vanished when I turned around and saw her there, coming down the stairs in a beautiful cream-colored dress, gold high heels, and a neckline that looked like it would open at any moment, exposing her perfect, enormous breasts. For a moment, I thought my bad mood wouldn't change, but when I saw her, I felt like the world had stopped. I looked her up and down, detailing every inch of her body like the perfect delicacy as I felt my heart race. I couldn't deny it, the woman looked like a goddess! I stood still for a few seconds, trying to calm my thoughts.Her thighs, her lips, her skin, shit, I hadn't even noticed that she had chosen that dress, which was, in fact, the same dress I had wanted to see her wear, which surprised me a little. Damn, I missed kissing her white skin and soft breasts so much... However, at that mo
Why the hell did my body keep reacting to this man? "Are you trying to hurt me?", I said, avoiding his gaze.I tried to wiggle out of his grip, but he tightened his hand, forcing me to look him in the eye "Don't try to act any smarter, Hester De la Croix. Try to stay away from Alpha Damien's family and pretend this is the happiest marriage in the world" he said.As soon as I heard her words, I was shocked. "What, why would I pretend that I'm happy in this marriage, are you forgetting that you blackmailed my mother's life to make me sign that contract?" I said sharply.An annoyed growl escaped Bennett's lips. But, before he said anything, I spoke again"I'm not happy about this. You've forced me to..."For a second, I thought he would angrily get out of the car, but, contrary to that, he used his other hand to grab my jaw and squeeze, stopping my wordsI gulped, looking at his face only inches away from mine. His warm breath collided on my skin, while my chest felt like it wanted to
