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
Although Bennett was an ambitious man, he was an alpha, how could he murder the mate of another powerful alpha?"That has to be a lie!" I said almost perplexed.However, my words were enough to make Walter's face turn dark. The man even looked like he wanted to murder me at any moment."I mean.... Bennett can't do that. He's an alpha..."My words were left in my mouth as Walter grabbed my arm and pulled me close to his chest."Do you think this is fake? Do you think I would lie about my mate's death? You have no idea what that man has done. You'd better not know anything about the past and stay away from him" Walter hinted with his red eyes."But why did he do it?" I asked still not understanding.I always thought Bennett was detestable and couldn't hurt me anymore, but every day I discovered that my hatred could be greater. I even thought that breaking his pride would be an excellent revenge, but when I heard
Bennett was driving at full speed, making my body shake. I clung to the seat as I watched the trees rush past the window. However, my phone rang and I pulled it out to see who it was"-I'm waiting for you. Please come back safely-"At first I wanted to answer Walter, but a kind of tempest raged inside me and prevented me from doing so. In fact, I was furious with both men, too. Bennett was an annoying man who was willing to sell his soul for power. Walter, on the other hand, seemed nice and showed me love, but he was unable to tell me the truth or answer my questions. Both men had me on the verge of a nervous breakdown. However, that night I would see Walter again and he would have no choice but to give me all the answers I needed. After all, if he really wanted to go through with this wedding, he had to come clean with me. With that in mind, the trip became cumbersome. The entire ride, I kept my eyes on the window with my arms crossed.Strangely, he turned onto a familiar stree
At that I ran faster trying to lose him, but he was a fast alpha and grabbed my hands from behind"Let go of me! I don't want to listen to your lies anymore!" I shouted forcibly."I'm not lying to you. Hester Winters, I love you!" He replied, holding my other hand."Shut up! None of that matters anymore" I shouted before pulling his hands away from mine.He gaped as he seemed to think about my words "What do you mean by that?" I heard his sudden question."Don't you understand? You shattered my heart like no one else could. You taunted me with how I felt about you and tricked me into spreading my legs for you..."The very memory of what happened hurt my heart."Now everything has changed, even if you kneel down and swear, I will never open my heart to you again. You don't deserve my love or a woman to love you. I hate you, Bennett. You destroyed everything inside me", I finally said, feeling the sting in my eyes.
"So you know everything, if that is so, why do you insist on continuing this engagement in a dead-end way?" "Walter is the main alpha of his pack and, when we marry, he will give me the title of moon, he will present me to the public as his wife without being ashamed of my position as omega. He will treat me as his wife and will not leave with another woman. He loves me and does not hesitate to tell me so at all times. I don't need anything else" I said with oegullo At that moment Benentte just let out a loud grunt and coming closer to me, he took me by the hand and pushed me to his hard chest. "Enough! When will you understand that he's not a good man? He doesn't know what it's like to have a woman, you're not safe with him! Leave your hatred behind and listen to me once and for all!" he shouted leaving his warm breath on my face. A growl escaped my lips as I broke free from his grip" Is this a fucking joke? Th
I never thought I could yell at Bennett like that; however, the man kept pissing me off.First he forbade the dean to sign my transfer, then he brought me to this place with the intention of having me fuck him, and now he wants me to call off my wedding. He's a complete idiot!"No! I won't leave you alone! You're my mate. Don't you understand that's all that man wants you for? If you weren't my mate, he wouldn't even see you!" He shouted, leaving me dumbfounded. His words were like a sharp dagger to me. Did he really say that? Did he think I wasn't capable of liking a man? However, an idea crossed my mind "You know... you know Walter knows about our mate bond. Now I understand everything, that's why you came for me""Hester..." she started to sayBut her words trailed off when I interrupted her "The solution to all your problems is to reject me as your mate" He stood still and silent as he shook his head in denial."Oh, Don't worry, I don't need the transfer certificate anymore. I
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.
