As soon as I heard Max's question, I noticed a painful knot forming in my chest. I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened with Bennett. He didn't even want me as his mate, and I felt ashamed that Max and Anna knew about them. At that, I forced a smile and shook my head "No, I'm not dating him. We just have a meeting at a club, but my outfit is in my locker.""Dress? Are you crazy? Go like this, that skirt with that top looks great on you" Anna added. "It's just a meeting, it doesn't matter if I look good or not" I said looking at Anna sternly. "It's never just a business meeting" Anna added with a smirk. After that, we talked a bit about classes until, finally, I said goodbye and went back to the cab stand to leave.However, when I got to the corner, I noticed Freddy's new luxury car parked in front of me. "Can I give you a ride?" he said from the driver's seat. I dodged him and kept walking ignoring him "No, I'll go alone" I replied. "Come on, it's just a li
After the awkward moment, Michael looked back at me and smiled. He was the head of one of the most important departments in the company. Therefore, he had the power to shut them up and even fire them. "Don't worry, it's obvious that these women spend their days gossiping about each other" I said to Michael as the women looked down, self-conscious."I just hate office gossip" he said. "It's just meaningless gossip" I said forcing a smile. "By the way, you look beautiful" he said softly. My cheeks blushed at his words. I thanked him and nodded silently "Alfa has a meeting in the evening at a club. Last time, she didn't like my dress. So I decided to wear something more professional""That sounds great. I'm going to the meeting too. We could go together, what do you think?" He hinted looking at me with his beautiful big eyes. "I'd love to, but Alpha said he'd pick me up after work. Apparently he doesn't know how to do anything without his secretary" I said with a smirk. Michael smi
Seeing my action, a couple of the men started laughing "Wow, wow, alpha. I see your secretary and Mr. Michael are very close, aren't you? " said one of the men with a wink. Hearing that, I felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, I didn't know that it was still a sin to sit next to Michael at the table. The reality was that I had chosen that spot to avoid the men's leering at my bare legs. "Let's begin" Bennett said, clenching his jaw. As the meeting proceeded, I tried to avoid Bennett; in fact, he seemed to be in a bad mood since I sat next to Michael. Luckily, the meeting ended and everyone stood up to say goodbye.I stood up quickly and listened to them leave one after the other. But at that moment Michael spoke "I can give you a ride home. If you want" he said in his soft tone of voice.When I heard him, I didn't hesitate to respond with affirmation, after all, we were both going in the same direction. However, as I was about to respond, I heard Bennett's deep voice behind me. "
With long, heavy steps, I approached Bennett and crossed my arms. He was about to say something when the woman looked up at him and sat down next to him, placing her hand on his thigh."Wow. handsome boy, all the girls are dying for you. But only I have my hand on your thigh, don't I deserve a reward?" she said looking at him lustfully.I opened my eyes completely surprised by the woman's words. Bennett, for his part, just took a sip from his glass in silence.What the fuck was wrong with him? In a fit of jealousy, I grabbed the woman's arm and squeezed it. The woman got up from the couch and growled angrily "What do you think you're doing?""Should I be asking you that question?" I said, annoyed. "Fuck. You better go and find a doll to play with and stop bothering us, girl" The woman added with a mocking tone."Go? The man you're trying to seduce might kill you" I said, clenching my fists. "Oh, yeah? Then let him kill me in his bed" she replied as she looked sideways at Bennett a
The glass shattered in my hand, as I threw the pieces on the table. I sighed deeply and without hesitation, stood up from my chair and let out an angry growl.I didn't look away from Hester as I made my way towards her with clenched fists. As soon as I was behind her, silently, I grabbed her arm and pulled her close to my chest, glaring at her angrily. She looked at my eyes in surprise and started to push me backwards "Let go of me!" she said.The boy next to her looked at me mockingly "Come on. Man, can't you see she doesn't want to dance with you?" said the boy. As soon as I heard those words, I couldn't help but look at the boy angrily. My eyes were shining dangerously. That scared the boy so much that he backed away. On the other hand, Hester was trying to free herself from my grip, but I squeezed her even tighter and joined her to my chest "Enough of this nonsense, we'll leave now!" I said with a cold and powerful tone. Hester shook her head again and again "I'm not leaving w
I didn't respond when he slid his lips to mine and began to kiss me passionately, I couldn't help but move my lips against his as I tried to release his grip on my hands.I wanted to release my hands and place them on his face to sink him deeper into me and feel him completely, but he kept my wrists roughly gripped. In a second he pulled his lips away from mine and bit his tongue as he looked down at my breasts. "How dare you want to give in to another man?" he said in a mocking tone. "What? I...I just..." I said half-heartedly, but my breathing was too noisy to control my words. Bennett let out a cynical smile and, without warning, moved his hands up from my waist to my neck making me gasp. My legs clenched as his teeth nibbled on my neck and then my collarbone. Fuck, I wanted to touch this man as his tongue tasted my skin. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the delicious sensation that spread throughout my body. I noticed a delicious taste in his mouth mixed with my sap, but, in a m
As we left the club, it started to snow, but just then the car stopped in front of us. The driver opened the passenger seat door and smiled politely. "Alpha..." said the man leaning toward Bennett.Bennett didn't even look at me "Get in" he said. I climbed into the car with my head down and waited for him to get in. His intimidating presence was huge and I could only remember the feel of his lips on my skin. "Where to, alpha?" asked the driver. "To her house" Bennett said emotionlessly.When I heard that, I turned my gaze to him, but he was looking out the window as if I didn't exist. However, as I looked at him the car started to drive and I slid roughly into his chest. I closed my eyes and hugged him out of inertia, but when I felt his heart beating in my ear, a delicious sensation ran through my body. "Please don't mistreat me, I'll be obedient" I said, and closed my eyes. Bennett didn't answer me, but still he raised his hand and stroked my hair gently. As soon as I notic
During the class, Freddy wouldn't take his eyes off my face for a second, so I felt uncomfortable. Luckily, the class ended and I got up from the table in a hurry. "Well, tomorrow we can meet or this afternoon, do you think so?" said the third girl in the group. "I don't think I can, I'm working in the afternoons" I told her. The girl glared at me, turned to Freddy and smiled as she fluttered her eyelashes flirtatiously "And you, Freddy, can you?".I looked at Freddy with a grimace, but he ignored me "We'd better split the job into two parts. I'll do the group with Esther and you'll do the other part" Freddy announced. Her words made me open my eyes, confused "What?""I think it's great" she said fiddling with her hair, and the second guy in the group nodded and agreed. These idiots were ignoring me, so I frantically waved my hand at them "Hey, I'll give my opinion too. They can't accept this if I don't agree" I said half-heartedly.The girl looked at me and rolled her eyes, maki
I waved my hand and sat down on one of the couches by the railing while looking at my fingernails."Stop playing games and open the damn door!""I won't. I'd rather spend the day alone than be with you. I have a fiancé who trusts me and I'm not going to betray him", I hinted with a laugh.He yelled again and again, while I just concentrated on the beautiful scenery. However, as much as I tried to enjoy the fresh air, a thousand thoughts ran through my mind.I didn't know why I was so broken inside. I hated that man whose black eyes were looking at me through the glass of the room.Almost a year ago I had loved that man more than any
It had been almost 20 minutes since Bennett had been in the kitchen. I felt bored and reached for my phone to check it.In fact, since Walter had left, I had done nothing but fill his message inbox with questions. However, he ignored them all."-Honey, I'll answer all your questions when I see you again-""-I'll be back soon, just stay away from Alpha Bennett-""-I want to see you-"I read his messages over and over again. In fact, I had done everything I could to stay away from Bennett; however, when he blackmailed me again I had no choice but to come to this place with him."The food
I stared silently as Bennett's lips quirked into a faint sneer. His scent freshened my nostrils, but I shook my head and folded my arms."Alpha Bennett. I don't want to be here. What did you bring me here for? Are you planning to sleep with me?" I asked with annoyance. At my words, Bennett's eyebrows rose as he fell silent. His expression was softer, but at the same time his eyes were resting on mine, as if he was trying to read my mind. A derisive snort escaped my lips when I noticed his silence. Did this man think I would not respond? However, as I wandered in my thoughts, I saw him walking toward a mini-bar. Ignoring him, I walked towards the stairs and looked up to the second floor, where strangely only one door was visible. What the fuck, did this huge mansion only have one room? It was impossible! On the other hand, I looked around and saw the kitchen, a huge living room and a door that seemed to lead to a garden. At that, I took a step to move away, but at that moment, I h
The car drove through the woods for almost 30 minutes. My body felt numb when suddenly the car stopped in front of a huge old mansion.It didn't look like the ones in the pack, it was different, it looked like something out of a fantasy book. There was a huge garden of blue and purple flowers all around, while the pillars were black and the walls were opaque white.There were even several artificial fountains that seemed to have colored water.I was so engrossed by the beautiful scenery that I didn't notice that Bennett had gotten out of the car.I came out of my trance when I saw him open the door on my side and hold his hand out to me with a smile.
I could feel everyone's gaze on me; they were obviously upset. Me, Alpha Walter's fiancée, getting into Alpha Bennett's car? What kind of woman was I?"Shit Did you see? What a bitch that girl!""But what about Alpha? How can he go with that girl? Is he planning to cheat on the beautiful Agatha with that woman?""She was Alfa's assistant. Maybe they already fucked and now she's running into the arms of another alpha?"The murmurs were heard until the car window was rolled up.On the other side, I reached across the seat and crossed my arms angrily. Bennett seemed to sporadically turn his gaze toward me, making me uncomfortable.&n
In fact, I was well aware that everyone at the institute knew that I had been the girlfriend of Alpha Bennett's younger brother, so perhaps the man felt a little strange."Alpha, I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you said" hinted the dean with a confused expression. Although the dean had power over the students, Bennett had power over him and all the higher ranks of the pack, so whatever Bennett said was binding, whether they liked it or not. At that, I saw Bennett look away and focus on the man behind the desk "Hester Winters will get her transfer effectively only if she is my assistant for one day. After that, you can leave the pack without any problem and continue your studies there", he said seriously. The dean's eyebrows went up. Everyone at the institute knew that I had been Bennett's personal assistant, so the dean snapped his fingers and sighed, “Oh, that makes sense."Oh, that makes sense. I see that Ms. Hester Winters did her job well as an assistant. I am very proud
From Hester's point of viewThe days were passing quickly, yet Walter still hadn't returned from his pack, which created an emptiness in my chest.The reality is that Bennett didn't miss any opportunity to tease me. He even started sending flowers, chocolates and gifts to my house. I would just take them, throw them in the trash or give them away to the kids at school. How could that man possibly think of buying me gifts? That morning I woke up early and took a shower; however, my phone started ringing as I was getting dressed."Dean?" I said when I saw the contact."Miss Hester, good morning. I am calling to inform you that your transfer request has been denied" said the dean in a soft voice."What? How is that possible? Why?" I asked with my eyes wide open."I don't know. It was orders from my superiors. So you will have to reapply or speak directly to the superiors" said the man.As soon as I heard that, I hung up the call and threw the phone on the bed. I clenched my fists in f
Fuck, I understood perfectly what that contract meant. With a sigh, I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. I didn't want Bennett to do something he might regret. So I turned around and walked over to the picture next to the wall. I pulled the painting out and looked at the hidden safe. For a second I stopped and looked back at Bennett, expecting him to make a gesture of regret, but no, he was more elated than ever. Without further ado, I had to turn around, put in the secret key and pull out the black folder. With a worried snort, I walked back to the desk and handed the folder to Bennett, who took it before looking at me with a terrified expression."Leave your worries alone. I'm fine" he said with a deep tone. On the other hand, I saw him focus his attention on the folder and open it. His eyes roamed over each and every page as my chest nearly exploded.***From Bennett's point of viewI read every single word of this damn contract. However, my eyes stopped on a couple of red
I looked at him with a soft expression and let out a sigh, trying to figure out what was going through his mind "Bennett, what are you doing at Alpha Manor? You never come here unless it's really important." At my words, Bennett just sighed and got up from his desk. He walked past me and stopped right at the mini-bar, where he pulled out a bottle of vodka. Seeing it, I arched an eyebrow and saw a bottle on the desk. At first I wanted to ask him about the bottle he had found, but as soon as I saw the lipstick stain on the nozzle, a smile broke out on my face. It was obvious that Bennett wouldn't touch the bottle, certainly not after knowing that Agatha had touched it. With a sigh, I walked over to the couch and sat down, looking at him "What are you planning to do about Hester?" I asked. "What are you talking about?" I asked, drinking straight from the bottle.. This man was truly an eminence. I saw him drinking from the bottle without even breathing. I got up quickly
