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
The last few days, Bennett had been kind and attentive to me. He would even let me sit on his lap, hug him and touch him. Sometimes he would bring our lips together roughly and other times he would just caress my back and kiss my forehead.On the other hand, he used to bring me gifts to my office with some messenger and take me out to eat at fancy restaurants and other simpler ones. Day by day, I began to believe that he was really taking an interest in me; otherwise, why would he make an effort to keep me happy? He said he only wanted my body, but days had passed and he hadn't made a pass at me or forced himself on me.In the face of that, I became Bennett's submissive and obedient girl. I knew when to shut up and when I could speak, and I even learned to calm him down when he got angry. Many times he would hug me and sink his nose into my neck, tickling me with his lips. Thinking about it, I was again sitting on his lap when I suddenly remembered the words of that employee, Anahi
From Bennett's point of view,I watched Hester from head to toe. She was as sexy as ever. However, when she asked me to leave the company early, I couldn't help but grimace in annoyance.What kind of plans could she have at this time of night? I looked at her with a quizzical face until she started pouting at me with those beautiful lips. She seemed so excited to leave that I nodded. Hester didn't wait a second and ran out of my office. On the other hand, I walked to the window and lit a cigarette until I saw her leave the company. I quickly pulled out the phone and dialed one of my men. "Alpha" said the head of security. "I want you to follow Hester Winters and report all her movements to me" I said through the phone. "Understood, Alpha Bennett" the man hinted before hanging up the call. I followed her with my eyes until she finally disappeared from my sight. After that, I let out a sigh and broke out the cigarette I clenched seconds before. ***From Hester's point of view
Bennett's growl made everyone fall to their knees on the ground at once. At that moment, my eyes fell on his face. His grim expression and the way his eyes turned black made him look fucking sexy. Thinking about that, I shook my head and snapped back to reality. "Are you okay?" Lucas asked.I nodded my head and looked at him with a raised eyebrow "Lucas? Why did you bring him? I called out to you!" I asked in a soft whisper.Lucas stroked my hair as he held my hand "I was at the Alpha mansion when I got your call".When I heard that, a solar discomfort crossed my chest. I couldn't help but think of Agatha, who now lived there, and Bennett, who evidently went to see her."Hester, why were you out of the house? You're still hot with fever" she hinted at me when she saw my silence.I looked up and smelled Bennett's delicious scent. But, before I could say anything, the old man's voice was heard. "Alpha, Bennett, please forgive us..." said the man fearfully.Bennett looked at the man a
Immediately, four burly men approached from the parking lot. Two of them grabbed the girl's arm and tried to pull her away from me, while the other two guards grabbed me by the waist and dragged me away. The girl's screams, full of terror, could be heard over and over again. My mind was clouded for a few seconds as everyone passing by on the street began to approach to see the scene. "Let go of me!" I couldn't even finish my words when suddenly the old woman pushed me and I fell backwards to the ground. The pain in my back became even more intense as I tried to get up "Leave the girl alone!" I shouted angrily.Alpha Erik let out a growl and stopped in front of me "Who the hell do you think you are to threaten an alpha?" he insinuated, kicking my side causing a scream of pain to escape my lips.I didn't even say a word when he leaned over and grabbed my neck. "I don't know who the hell you are, but you just made a huge mistake. I'll make your life a living hell! I wasn't scared of
After a few minutes, I got off the elevator and walked through the lobby straight to the exit, but, just then, Delilah's gaze landed on me. I tried to ignore her and make my way, but she ran up and stopped right in front of me with a smile on her face."Oh, Hester, is something wrong? Let me guess..." Delilah paused as her sneer became more and more evident. It was obvious that everyone in the company knew about Bennett's engagement. At that, I looked away from Delilah and tried to make my way over, but she stopped me again. "I know... Alpha showed you where you really belong. Gosh, have you seen Miss Agatha? She's a goddess, she's beautiful, she's got money, she's elegant, and besides, she's marrying Alpha Bennett. Clearly, there is no more room for trash lovers like you" Delilah said mockingly. Her words came to me like a big poisoned dagger, but I just shook my head and looked at her. "You can believe whatever you want. I don't have time for your bullshit"I didn't expect her
The mere touch of Bennett's hand on my wrist made my whole body shudder. I immediately turned my gaze to him and tried to break free from his grip, but he tightened his fingers and held me steady. "Why are you so stubborn?" he asked looking at me with his deep, cold eyes. "I don't want you to touch me again," I growled, before I jerked my hand roughly and loosened his grip.I took a step back and pulled my body away from his, but he frowned and his gaze became calmer."You're still burning hot. You have a fever""That's none of your business. Go and worry about your wife, she's your future Luna, she does deserve all your concern." A roar came out of my throat without me being able to help it.I wanted to turn and run away from the office, but he grabbed my arm again and pulled me to his hard chest "You must calm down" he said, leaving his warm breath on my face. "Let go of me! I'm not going to calm down!" I screamed, struggling to pull away from his grip, but he only tightened hi
When I finished showering, I stepped out of the bathroom and noticed that my body was shaking. I shook my head to calm down as I put on a dress and a pair of low heels. Part of me wanted to go back to bed and keep sleeping, but I needed to break away from this thing that was killing me inside. . Thinking about it, I combed my hair and went downstairs to the living room. "Will you go out?" my mother asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, I'll go to the company. I must finish some urgently needed work" I hinted, clenching my fists behind my back. "But you have a fever. You can't. "Don't worry. I'll be fine" I announced trying to calm my mother down. She nodded and I said goodbye before leaving the house. I took a cab and headed for the company.As soon as the car pulled up, my eyes widened at the decorations all over the place. It was obvious that everything was for Bennett's engagement. "We've arrived" said the cab driver, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Thank you very much", I s
After talking to Lucas for a while, he let out a sigh and got up from the couch "Are you hungry? Do you want me to fix you something to eat?" "No, thanks. Where's my mother?" I asked, changing the subject."She's asleep. I didn't want her to be here when you came over" He said with a raised eyebrow."Thank you. I'll go to my room. I'll get some sleep" I said getting up from the couch without any encouragement. Lucas nodded his head, but before I took a step, I heard his voice at my back "Are you going to be okay?". At his question, I turned around and a smirk left my lips "Lucas... if you knew Bennett was going to marry Agatha, why didn't you tell me? He has to reject me in order to marry me" I asked curiously. "I know. And you don't know how much I thought about it. But, when I went back to training, Alpha Bennett talked to me" he said, leaving me surprised. "What?""Apparently there's a way to break the mate bond without you dying or him losing the title. But only he knows that
From Lucas's point of viewWhat had happened to Hester? Where could she be? I walked in circles all damn night hoping to find her. However, when I finally got through to her, she sounded dazed, as if something bad had happened. "Did you talk to her?" my mother suddenly asked. "Yes, she... She spent the night with some friends. She'll be back soon" I said, lying. My mother sighed in relief and went back to her room. After all, we'd been up all morning waiting for Hester. I really wanted to talk to Hester alone when she got home. She didn't sound good on the phone, which set off an alarm in me. Thinking about it, I heard a car parked in front of the house. I quickly ran to the window and saw her get out of the car. I opened the door and waited for her, but, as soon as she looked at me, I was wide-eyed. Her eyes were puffy and her dress was wet. "Hester, what happened to you?" I asked, swallowing spittle.Her small body began to tremble as she took a deep breath "I just spent
I wiped the handkerchief across her cheek and wiped them away. She froze for a second, until something brought her back to herself and she snatched the handkerchief from my hand."What are you doing?" "I dry your tears" I answered. "What for? Who cares what I look like? The only one I cared that saw me, doesn't care about me. He only saw me with eyes of lust" she added turning her face red again."Leave that man" I hinted. She let out a bitter smile and threw the handkerchief to the ground "I know he doesn't love me, nor does he care about our bond. But I don't plan to destroy him, I'll just walk away and get my life together. You can leave me alone" she hinted sure of her words.She tried to turn to walk away, but a smirk peeked at my lips "Do you really think Alpha Bennett will let you go so easily? He won't stop. He'll find you and lock you up. Only I can get you out of his malicious clutches"She looked at me without saying anything. She just smiled curtly and walked off into t
How could I live now without Bennett? I had fallen completely in love with the man. Suddenly, all the memories of him came to my mind. His face, his body, the way I thought he treated me out of love.... It was all a lie. I had deluded myself into something that didn't exist. He was the alpha Bennett, a man without heart or mercy. Everyone was right: Bennett was cruel. However, as those thoughts entered my head, I felt my eyes sparkle strangely. "Stop the car!" I shouted.Despite that, however, Walter looked at me and continued driving. "Stop the damn car!" I shouted loudly.At that, Walter slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in a corner of the road.Without saying anything, I opened the door and tried to get out, but, just before I put my legs out, I felt Walter grab my arm. "Where are you going?” he asked as he approached me "This place is dangerous" he said as he approached me. I felt his breath hit my face, but I didn't push him away; rather I looked him in the eyes
