Por a second I figured that Delilah had done something else to humiliate me, but before I could think of anything else, the man spoke up"We've received a call from the manager of the New Moon Group."As soon as I heard those words, my heart stopped for a few seconds. Had Bennett made a complaint about me? The thought of being kicked out of the school flashed through my mind. "Professor, I... I didn't..." I said, stammering. "Don't worry, miss, you're not in trouble. On the contrary, you have been requested for an interview at the company" the man said with a smile. I froze. "What, me, what?" I asked, still in disbelief. The man let out a sigh and leaned against the desk. "Miss Hester, the dean was going to expel you on the day of the presentations, but Alpha Bennett advocated for you and now his company is requesting you for an intervi
The lighting, the space, the decor... everything was luxurious, aesthetically appealing and beautiful. For a second I stood there admiring it all, until I shook my head and walked toward the reception desk. "Excuse me?", I said. The three women exchanged glances and gestured to each other, until one of them raised her gaze to me. She was beautiful, with red lips and warm makeup. "Good morning, how can I help you?" she asked me with a sweet smile on her face. "Good morning. I'm Hester, from Central High School. I've been called for an interview at 10 am." I said.The girl nodded and waved her hand as she typed on her computer. "You can wait in the waiting room for a moment. I'll call you soon for your interview" she said politely. I nodded and turned toward the waiting room, which was a bit far from the front desk. Smiling at her, I walked over to the couch and sat down cross-legged. I spent a couple of minutes in agony. I looked at many women with a haughty look on their faces a
I had no idea why Bennett had said that. Fuck, I felt ridiculous when I learned what that idiot thought of me. However, I took a breath and looked at him without losing myself in his attractiveness. "You're wrong," I said seriously.He looked at me and leaned against the back of his seat like a true king. He took the folder in his hands and sighed, "I'm never wrong."I glared at him furiously, while my she-wolf whimpered in pain. It was obvious she was in pain from the way our mate was treating us. "Hester Winter Sandman..." he said in a low tone. "I see you got a perfect 10 on your evaluation. How?" he asked incredulously."Study days. No doubt about it." He heard my response and gave a sigh and continued to flip through the folder in his hand. He was mocking me? He spoke as if I hadn't gotten that result by dirty tricks. "High school isn't easy," he said mockingly."Yes, I know, that's why I work
From Bennett's point of view.When I saw her walk into the office, I couldn't take my eyes off her face. That girl was beautiful, and her lips, so full..... Without bitterness, I didn't let my wolf control me and treated her like the greedy girl she was. When she left the room, she smiled sidelong at me, but I could still inhale her delicious scent, now permeating every inch of the office. Fuck, a wave of anger swept through my body when she stood up in that haughty manner and closed the door without even listening to me."But who dared that woman!" I shouted to myself. I couldn't understand what was going through my mind. I was furious and unsatisfied. She was acting like she didn't care what her own alpha said! She was a slut! Fuck, every day I'm more sure I made the best decision.Thinking about that, I looked down at the folder containing her resume. Hester had the best resume I had ever reviewed, but her actions always ruined everything.Ever since that presentation I kept t
As I was rambling in my thoughts, the bus pulled up in front of the high school. I said goodbye to the driver and walked toward the campus with a funereal expression. However, when I looked up, I noticed many students murmuring and jeering at me. For a few seconds, I thought Delilah had spread rumors again, but then I realized it was because of my outfit. "Fuck, fuck, fuck, I forgot to change," I said to myself. I was dressed formally, and the guys didn't hesitate to laugh. I looked like a complete failure. I quickly went to my locker and got some clothes, but as I was heading to the bathroom to change, my phone rang. "Good morning," I answered, seeing the unfamiliar number on the screen. "Good morning, is this Hester Winters?" asked a soft female voice. "Yes, this is Hester," I said arching an eyebrow."Miss Hester Winter, this is Solange, the personal secretary of Alfa Bennett, New Moon Group. I am calling to inform you that you have been selected to work as assistant to the
Any girl would be ecstatic to be Bennett's mate, however, for me it was nothing more than an endless nightmare. "Hester... Is this some kind of joke?" mentioned Max, a little paranoid. "I didn't...fuck. I stammered, not knowing what to say. "Shit, Alpha Bennett is your destined mate?" Damn! Do you know what that means?" Anna hinted. "What are you talking about?" "It means Bennett called off his engagement for you!" That's got a sneaky ring to it" Anna half shouted. In fact, Anna was a little right in her words.When I told Bennett that I was his mate, he simply disappeared and called off the marriage to the alpha's daughter.For a second, a faint smile tugged at my lips, but I heard Anna's voice again. "But... there's still something I don't understand.... If alpha Bennett called off his engagement with that girl for you, why then doesn't he make public the bond he shares with you?".I couldn't help but frown and look at Anna quizzically. "I don't think that's going to happen,"
Bennett's smell was fucking delicious, like a million flowers with lavender and chocolate.However, after I inhaled a bit, Anna's voice snapped me out of my reverie. "You should give it back to him. He'd appreciate it," she said with a wink. I looked at her and let out a sigh. It was obvious she was getting the wrong idea of what was really going on. Without a word, I got up from my seat and walked back to my house. I couldn't wait to tell my mother that I finally had a job at the New Moon Group.She gave me a huge hug and kissed my forehead excitedly, "Does Lucas know?" she asked me excitedly. I shook my head, not knowing what else to say. At that, she picked up the phone and tried to call him, but before she dialed his number, I quickly stopped her."Mother, don't say anything to Lucas yet," I said. At that moment, she arched an eyebrow and looked at me in confusion, "Is something wrong?"."No... it's just that I want to tell him the news personally," I said. "Besides, he must
On the other hand, when I finished filing the folders, I sat down at my desk and checked my phone. However, while I was surfing the net, there was a knock at the door. I quickly straightened up and looked at a woman entering the office. She was wearing a long fuchsia skirt and a loose-fitting white shirt."Good morning, Miss Hester. I am Dilana Monik, but you can call me Dil. I will be in charge of training you. In some of your tasks", said the woman politely. Soon, she started to show me some things on the computer. In fact, the woman explained to me that no one could have access to my computer or my data, because, if anyone else knew Bennett's schedule, it could jeopardise a lot of business. After a couple of hours, she finished explaining the most important things and smiled, "I think that's all for now.""By the way, many congratulations" she said. "Why?" I asked confused."Your new position is one of the most acclaimed by the young girls in the herd," said the woman with a s
As soon as the man reached out his hand, I pushed his body away by pushing him against the wall."Alpha, let me help you""Shut up!" I shouted, pushing all the things on the table. "What the hell is wrong with you people? Why the fuck didn't you catch the woman?" I shouted, seized by anger.The guards looked each other in the eyes for a few seconds before turning their gaze back to me. "Alpha, we... we didn't stop her because you ordered us not to harm that woman under any circumstances!"As soon as I heard that I couldn't help but hit the table hard, making the two pieces of wood fall to the floor."I don't care what the fuck I said. I want you to do
Bennett was completely focused on his game, as if my presence was unimportant. He spoke of my mother's life inadequately, showing the true cruel character she had always had.I looked at him as he picked up the dagger, aiming it at the center of the circle on the wooden wall. The man had perfect timing: with a single movement, he put the dagger in place two, three, even four times. However, none of that mattered to me. I just looked at him clenching my fists in anger. At that moment, my legs slowly moved towards him. My whole heart was racing, anger gnawing at every inch of my body. "Hester...please...it's our mate!" roared my wolf wanting to get out and control me. "Shut up! that bastard is not our mate. He's just an idiot who deserves nothing but suffering!" I shouted again to my she-wolf She was elating over and over again getting out of my blocks, however I used all my strength to drive her into complete darkness***Bennett"Hester Winters, I know you wouldn't do anything b
My furious gaze was on the doctor who looked down "I'm sorry, Ms. Winters. You'd better get to the main room as soon as possible. There's not much time..." he said "What the fuck! You're a doctor! How can you play with people's lives like this? How can you do this?" I shouted. "Understand.... Alpha Bennett gave us direct orders. We can't disobey" he hinted proudly. I took a step backwards wanting to control my anger "You can't do this..." However, the doctor ignored the orders and left the office. I quickly ran after the man screaming like a madwoman "How can you do this? She's my mother! She'll die if you don't do that damn operation! What the hell is wrong with you people?" I said feeling all the anger rushing through my body. "Miss, the clock is ticking, the only one to blame for anything happening will be you. Go with Alpha Bennett" said the man in the gray s
Without even giving an answer, I ran straight to the reception desk. The girls soon handed me a couple of papers and I began to fill them out.However, as I read the fine print, there was a piece of writing that made my eyes water"-The hospital and the staff in charge of the operation will not be held responsible for said patient not waking up or, if applicable, for any future consequences this may cause-"As soon as I read it, I felt my hair stand on end. I wasn't sure whether to accept the agreement, so I took out my phone and dialed Lucas. But try as I might, his phone rang busy.Why was this happening to me? Why now? Was the goddess testing me?
My whole body trembled as I looked at my mother. She looked so helpless, without energy. Tears were falling from my cheeks and crashing against her pale face "Mother, it won't be long now.... The paramedics will be here any minute.... Please bear it a little longer..." I sobbed in pain. Damn it, I didn't understand what was taking the paramedics so long.I tried to call Lucas, but my fingers were too shaky to dial his number. "Ah!" I screamed, throwing the phone into my purse"Mom, come on, breathe.... Please... Mom" I said over and over until I finally heard the door. Within minutes, two burly men came up to the room with a stretcher."Miss, give us some room, we need to get your mother to the hospital now" said one of the men. I immediately gave way to them and walked away as I watched them lift my mother onto the stretcher. I'll go with you," I said, getting into the ambulance. The men looked at each other and nodded without reproaching me. I took my mother's hand and did not
Walter went to the pack hospital with his officers. I, on the other hand, felt very bad for Walter. In fact, I was very surprised by everything Bennett had said.It was as if he was a demon who was only out to make me suffer.At that moment, a million questions ran through my mind.I needed to know everything. Thinking about it, I walked into the hospital room and confronted them. He had a bandage on his head, but he was still fine."What happened after he killed your mate?" I couldn't help but ask.Walter gave a groan and sat down, gesturing for me to sit next to him. I felt a little hesitant, but I walked over to him and sat on the
Walter looked at me before he tightened his grip and lunged towards Bennett, holding his neck."You can't keep talking to my fiancée like that! Just because I'm calm now you can't keep being a fucker. Your whole kingdom will fall!" Walter snarled in anger.Bennett raised an eyebrow as if ignoring Walter's words. With a sharp movement, Bennett grabbed Walter's hand and pulled him away from Walter's neck."Why are you so calm? Are you trying to show a false side to that woman? You're a coward. You live on dreams, too. Your threats, I don't give a damn. You're just useless, while I'm the fucking king!" Bennett growledWalter tried to hit Bennett, but his officers shouted "Alpha Walter! This is not our pack... we
Derek looked at me with his sharp eyes "Shut up! If you weren't Bennett's mate, you wouldn't even be alive. He must have killed you that day when you humiliated him by saying you were his mate!"As soon as I heard Derek's words, my eyes widened in shock. His words were like a sharp dagger plunging into my chest. It was clear that his officers were as evil as Bennett. No one cared about anyone's life, they only desired power. Before Derek said anything else, I saw a smirk on Walter's lips "I see Alpha Bennett is weakening. He even sends his beta to do his job" said Walter.At that moment, Walter's officers wanted to intervene and pull Derek away, who took a step towards Walter. However, Walter gestured and stopped them. I was dumbfounded, I had no idea how to react to the words these men were throwing at each other. Everything was in complete chaos. The way Derek had spoken to me, plus Bennett's reaction, all had my hair standing on end. I turned my gaze to Bennett, whose face was
***Bennett.I wanted to kill this fucking bastard. Fuck, for years I had endured his presence, but now anger was coursing through my body.I punched his side making him spit blood as he grabbed my neck. However, when I saw Hester grab his hand, my anger became more colossal.With a strong pull, I grabbed Walter by the neck and squeezed him "I told you I would never let you touch her again! How dare you kiss her, I'll kill you today!" I shouted pressing his neck with all his strength.However, he let out a laugh full of mockery "You? Kill me? How did you kill my mate?" he said with his black eyes.
