On my way home, I turn to Michael and frown a little intrigued. He turns to me and smiles "Is something wrong?" he asked "How do you know Alpha Bennet?" I asked. "What are you talking about? Everyone knows him, he's the alpha of the pack and the CEO of New Moon Group" Michael replied mockingly. "I know, but he's a man who doesn't talk to his employees or pack members, and now they're talking to you?"At that moment, Michael let out a smile "Oh, you mean that? I don't know, I'm the director of the finance area, I guess he likes how I run the department" he said before pausing "And you, how do you know him?""What?""It's obvious that you guys are on good terms. You even interrupted me in the middle of a conversation with him and yet he said nothing. Another time, that will be an insult our alpha, you could even be punished" he said, making my eyes widen like saucers. I couldn't help but frown at his words. Then I remembered the time Bennett scolded me when I left his office withou
The next day, my eyes felt heavy. I was very exhausted, I hadn't slept well lately. I got out of bed and took a shower. When I got out, I put on comfortable clothes and went to class.As soon as I got to school, Anna ran up to me. "Damn, what bad news" she said. "What's wrong?" I asked, arching an eyebrow. "Karla won't be back for two months. She's staying at her brother's dorm, it looks like she's met her mate" said Anna, sitting down on the bench next to me. "That's great!" I said.I was glad Karla met her mate, but, at the same time, I hoped she would have better luck than me. After talking a bit, we both went to class, but during the break she couldn't help but ask me about Bennett, so I told her everything that had happened."What, you mean he didn't reject you?" Anna said. "Apparently, he doesn't want to lose his alpha title," I said. "I think he lied to you. It's obvious that he can't contain himself to the bond and that's why he doesn't want to reject you. Besides, he'
At one point I thought Delilah was just pretending, but it was obvious that she was in love with Freddy, which was quite funny to me. "Why are you doing this? I love you" She said sobbing. "Stop it, I don't want you to come near me again! If you don't want to get fired from the Alpha's company for that project that everyone knows didn't cost you anything" Freddy shouted.At his words, Delilah's eyes went wide. She reached out to take Freddy's hand, but he quickly pulled his hand away."Please, Freddy, you can't. You can't do this to me. You can't do this to me, I worked too hard for that job!"When I heard those words, I couldn't help but let out a smirk Hard work? This had to be a joke. "What? All you did was steal another girl's project!"Everyone around him immediately started muttering. On the other hand, I was quite surprised that Freddy had said that. Did he really believe me when I said Delilah had stolen my project? "What are you talking about? I would never do that! Who t
Classes resumed and Anna and I parted ways. After a few hours, we returned to the garden and met Max, who came over and kissed Anna gently. I loved seeing them so adorable together. "We're going out this Saturday, you should come with us" Max said, sitting Anna on his lap. "This Friday?" I asked with a raised eyebrow."Yes, is that okay with you?" asked Anna with a pout on her lips. "It's fine with me" I said shrugging my shoulders. "Perfect, I'll talk to the rest of the guys" said Max pulling out his phone. When I heard that, my eyes widened like two plates" What are you talking about? What friends? Wouldn't it just be us?" I asked. "The guys... It will be less awkward" he said looking at Anna. She took my hand and smiled "It's just a group outing, besides, you can invite your friend. Michael, right?" I asked confused."Michael?" I asked confused. "Yes, you said he also works at New Moon Group. You should invite him and become friends with him, after all you will need him"
When the clock struck four in the afternoon, my break came, I got up from my desk and left my office, but as soon as I walked down the hallway I noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense. The employees looked frightened, as if something horrible was about to happen. I approached one of the secretaries in the department, who were muttering. "Did you already know? This morning's meeting was a failure!" said one of the secretaries. "What meeting? What's going on?" I asked, oblivious to what had happened.After all, I had arrived after leaving the institute, so I had no idea what they were talking about. "The meeting with the alpha of the northern packs. Apparently, we lost the project. They won it!" the woman said.My eyes widened like two saucers when I heard that. The northern pack was the one that Alpha Sloan had mentioned. "Yes, by showing up, Alpha Sloan only came here to brag about his success to Alpha Bennett. Now the alpha is furious!" said the secretary.As soon as I h
Bennett's mocking laughter was faint and sarcastic, and his expression turned grim as he turned back to me and grabbed my hands to lift me off the ground. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can make fun of me?" he hinted, clenching his jaw. "I... I... I don't know what you're talking about. Why do you think it was me who shared information about your project?"Bennett's eyes widened in surprise and he spat out a fucking creepy sneer "I never mentioned that. You said it yourself, you fucking bitch! Did you do it to get back at me? You wanted to bring me down? Well you failed, I'm alpha fucking Bennett and a stupid project won't make any change. What you won was my hate!""I know someone shared information, because Michael told me..." Before I could finish, Bennett let loose again as he arched an eyebrow and his gaze grew darker. My words seemed to push him over the edge. "Michael?" he said, with a mischievous grin "But you're already sleeping with my finance manager? Looki
From Bennett's point of view,I never thought Hester could go this far. She had not only ruined my engagement to the alpha's daughter, but she had also lied about my brother, and now she had sold out my project. It was obvious that she was very greedy and malevolent. I wanted to confront her and wipe that cynical smile off her face, but she was so fucking beautiful and my wolf wouldn't let me vent my anger. The reality was that it had been almost five days since I had kicked her out of my company. I was so furious with her that I yelled at her in front of everyone, regardless of the humiliation I was causing her. I just didn't want to see her again. How could she betray me like that?As I was thinking about it, I was sitting in my office with a frown on my face. I had come out of a tedious meeting and I couldn't help but look over at the glass compartment and feel terrible. I had spent every day of my last month watching her work in her office. She was meticulous in her work, knew
I had been thinking for days that something was wrong. I couldn't understand the reason why Hester had betrayed me.Even though Solange had a good argument, something inside me kept bothering me. I couldn't help but keep thinking about it, so I calmly reviewed the records of the employees' bank accounts. As I was looking at them, my eyes widened like saucers when one of the records caught my attention."Five million dollars?", I thought to myself.I quickly looked at the account owner's information and sighed, "Solange?". Apparently, she had received five million dollars five days before she fired Hester. Thinking about that, I grabbed the phone from my desk and called my beta. "Alpha, is something wrong?" Derek asked. "Derek, take care of investigating everything about this bank account. I also want to know who is the owner of the last transaction made" I said. "Of course" hinted Derek before hanging up. I immediately sent him the account details and waited. I sharpened my elbo
I looked at Freddy without losing my cool, but he stammered again. "Well, I know you don't want her to be with another man and you just l But the world gives you back the same shit you sow: she will marry another man and you can't stop her". His words came from his lips like glee. However, my limit had arrived. My eyes turned completely black as my dangerous aura floated from my pores. "May it be the last time you dare to speak to your alpha like that. Otherwise I'll rip your head off the next time you neglect your damn place in this pack!" I said using my alpha command.Everyone in the office turned their heads away when they heard me. On the other hand, Freddy lowered his head as his hands seemed to shake. It was obvious he was upset, but he just let out a snort and walked out of the office.On the other hand, I opened the mental link with one of my men. If he does anything stupid don't hesitate to let me know" I ordered:"Yes my alpha" Hinted the man.I quickly closed the mental
From Bennett's point of viewThe moment I saw Hester leave the party, I didn't even stand there, but turned around and walked out of there without saying anything.At first, she and Agatha's family tried to stop me, but I paid no attention to them. I just waved and turned away from them as if I didn't care about them."Please, Bennett, dinner will be served soon" I heard Agatha say, who ran over and grabbed my arm. I stopped my steps before I turned my gaze and looked at her with furious eyes. The girl quickly let go of my arm and backed away."How many times must I ask you not to touch me?" I said gritting my teeth."I... I... I..." she stammered.Shit, I didn't know if I could stay close with her anymore. She was completely unbearable. Without another word, I waved her off and walked out. At that moment, my men came out behind me and we left the party.I climbed into my car with clenched fists and started it up. However, I saw in the distance that Alfa Walter was getting into his
Just remembering how Hester grabbed his hand and put her beautiful face in his arm, my fists clenched. Thinking about that, I turned my gaze back to Hester, now being grabbed by Lucas. I didn't even stay any longer; I just pursed my lips and walked out of the room to the next one, where I wanted to smash everything in my path, especially with Agatha, the bitch who kept looking for my weak spot. ***From Lucas' point of view. When Bennett left the room, I squeezed Hester's arm and forced her to look me in the eye. I was so disappointed in myself... If I hadn't gone to practice, I would have taken care of Hester myself and she wouldn't have gotten into all this trouble. However, as a big brother, it was my duty to take care of her, but I never thought my own alpha could play with her like that.I had been working for Bennett since I was a teenager and had never seen any woman in his life other than Agatha. From the beginning they were destined to be married, so I thought that was
From Hester's point of view. It was the first time I had seen that expression on Lucas. For a second, I felt anger course through his body as he took a step back. In fact, I didn't even see him that upset when Bennett was about to pull him out of Gamma training. At that, I swallowed hard. It was obvious that Lucas had never heard of my arrival at that company. If Lucas found out that Bennett blackmailed me to get him out of his position if I didn't sleep with him, Lucas would get even angrier. Even he might give up his Gamma position! As I rambled on in those thoughts, I saw Lucas' gaze seem to give the green light to his wolf, so in a matter of seconds I ran towards him, but unfortunately Lucas was quicker and ran towards Bennett and grabbed him by the throat."What kind of man are you? How dare you offer my sister to lower herself as your mistress? She's not one of those women you fuck! She's a proper woman and you and your brother broke her heart!" Lucas snarled pouring out al
"Alfa, please let my sister go" Lucas hinted, cautiously approaching us both. Bennettt seemed to disregard and didn't take his dangerous gaze from my eyes. He even seemed to want to reach for my wolf, but I hid her in my chest preventing the mate bond from taking effect. "Alpha, I apologize for what happened, but please don't hurt my sister. I will take care of her" Lucas said in a trembling voice.When I heard him, I felt a wave of nerves invade my chest. It was the first time I had ever seen Lucas speak this colloquially to Bennett. I thought Bennett would react, so I quickly intervened "Lucas, stop it" I said in a whisper. In fact, I hadn't expected Lucas to walk into the room. He had even been humiliated in front of everyone by me and still came to help me. For a second my heart was filled with enchantment, but I shook my head and came back to reality. At first I noticed his attitude change, but I didn't want to show my emotions, so I tried to stay calm. "Lucas, don't beg th
From Hester's point of view. But what the hell had I heard?"Have you left me alone? Wasn't it you who came here to ask me to call off my marriage? Can't I make my life with another man, perhaps?" I asked again more forcefully. "No. You can't" he answered self-assuredly.My eyes sparkled with surprise. I didn't hesitate when I pushed him with all my strength, but this time he seemed so stunned that he fell back almost staggering."You have no idea how much I detest you. Go and get on with your plans, marry that bitch and live your life. But don't ever cross my path again or even think of touching my man to hurt him or ruin our wedding. If you do anything to upset me, I won't hesitate to tell the whole damn world about your true mate" Grumpy bond feeling the power growing inside my body.For a second I was lost in my thoughts; I still couldn't understand how this man had been able to make me fall in love like that. I almost fell back into his seductive trap and lost my thoughts, but
A smile tugged at my lips as I noticed that she was still reacting the same way as before.It was evident that Hester had not stopped loving me. Her body was screaming it at the top of her lungs. With that certainty, I leaned toward her, caressing her ear with my fingertips and tracing a soft path with my nose on her cheek. "Alpha Walter, he is not the man who deserves you", I whispered firmly. The closeness with this woman was slowly killing me. Her deep gaze made my eyes widen as if I was coming completely back to reality.I shook my head at the sight of her small hands resting on my chest, pushing me firmly. But her strength proved to be in vain, as I didn't even move an inch. On the contrary, I moved closer, cornering her against my chest and the wall. "Get away from that man" I said between my teeth. She was glaring at me with fury, but I didn't care, in fact, if it had been anyone else, I would easily rip her head off. But it was her, Hester Winters. I could never even thi
Just remembering that man made my skin crawl and my heart fill with hatred. Everything that is happening to me in my life is because of him.If the moon goddess hadn't given him to me as my mate, none of this would have happened. He would never have blackmailed me and I would never have given myself body and soul to him. He had no heart. He was a cold man, eager for power and wanted to tie me down like a slut he would only seek for sex. For years, I thought my mate would be the perfect man, but reality played a trick on me. Thinking about it, I clenched my fists tightly. However, just then, a strong hand grabbed my arm and twisted my body sharply. My eyes widened in surprise as I felt myself being pushed to the side and my back hit the wall. "Ahh" I screamed, and immediately a hand was placed on my lips. I almost gasped when I looked up and saw him there, his eyes completely black and fixed on mine. His face was only inches from mine, as if I were his next prey. For a moment I
From Hester's point of view.I listened attentively to every word the two main alphas said to each other. I was completely taken aback by their reactions.They both seemed to be losing control of themselves, so an idea crossed my mind.I quickly grabbed Walter's arm again and looked him in the eyes with determination. "Walter, calm down... come on"" I said with a confident tone.I couldn't help but notice Bennett's eyes focused on me as the triumphant smile on his face faded. Not giving it a thought, I cupped Walter's hand in my palms and stroked him firmly."All right?" I said again with conviction.After a few seconds, Walter turned to me and let out a sigh. A soft smile lit his lips as he caressed my cheek with his other hand. His touch sent an uncomfortable shiver down my spine, but his voice instantly reassured me."You're right, honey. This is a party, isn't it? We're here to enjoy it. Let's go" he replied, bringing my palm to his face and leaving a soft kiss.I blinked in compl
