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
From Hester's point of viewThe days passed slowly and I still didn't know how I was going to tell my mother about my firing and what had happened with Bennett. She was so happy that I was working at the Alpha's company, that knowing the truth would break her heart.In the face of that, every time I left school I would hide in the library or go into town alone and stay in one of the desolate parks. I didn't want to make her suffer any more and saw no other option but to lie. However, I told Max and Anna what had happened at the company.At first, Max was furious and started swearing at Bennett, but Anna calmed him down and they both stuck by me through it all.That evening, when I got home and was getting ready to go out for the evening, Anna and Max had been begging me for days to go out with them, but my discouragement prevented me from doing so. However, that day they had made me swear not to let them down, so Anna went with Max to my house to get me. "Hester, you're ready now"
After getting ready, Anna and I went down to the living room to say goodbye to my mother, after which we both got into the car."And Max?" I asked. "Oh, didn't I tell you? He just left to pick up his friends" Anna said with a pout on her lips."His friends?" I asked confused."Yes. Did you think we would leave you alone? I think you should have invited Michael. He is a..."Before Anna finished talking, my phone started ringing. I quickly pulled out the phone thinking it was Michael and answered without looking at the screen. "Hello... just..."I hadn't even finished speaking, when suddenly, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone "Why did you refuse to come back to the company?".When I heard it, my heart raced and I felt sick to my stomach - was it Bennett? I turned my gaze to Anna, who gave me an intrigued gesture. "Who is it?" She asked in a low tone.I opened my eyes like saucers and my expression was suspicious "Anna...it's Bennett..." I whispered to her. She opened
I couldn't understand why I kept bumping into Bennett. It was as if the moon goddess wanted our bond to remain. Not wanting to think about it, I shook my head and focused on my new friends. "So, what shall we order for lunch?" hinted one of the boys. Soon we started ordering food and, within minutes, four waiters arrived with our meals. "Fuck, this was delicious!" said one of the boys. "That explains why only the high ranking ones come here". Hearing his comments, we all laughed and then a waitress handed us two white wines that Max had bought.Max took one of the glasses and, with a huge smile, took the cork and shook it sharply. The bottle opened and he poured the first glass of white wine. Then he poured the rest, but with one wrong move one of the glasses spilled and soaked my dress and my face.At that, we started laughing and Max apologised "Shit, Hester, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." "Don't worry, I'll go clean myself up in the bathroom" I said with a chuckle.At that m
The closeness with Bennett was more than my she-wolf could bear. She screamed in excitement at the mate bond."Bennett... what are you doing?"I asked him in a cracked voice. He looked at me silently and forced me to look up. His gaze was dark and his expression dark. Our bodies were so close that I knew he could feel the bond as much as my wolf. On the other hand, my heart was about to explode in my chest when he suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to his chest. Fuck, I felt like magic was floating around me. I wanted to close my eyes and let myself be carried away by his exquisite scent. But I shook my head and held on. As I wandered in my thoughts, he lifted his other hand and caressed my arm with his fingertips.My whole body shuddered at his touch. However, his eyes roamed my body making me feel a little uncomfortable. He could see my black dress, which fit me perfectly."Wow, I see you can dress that way too" he said moving his fingertips gently across my skin.
From Hester's point of view. The reality was that Walter had gotten me two passes for Anna and Max, so they would also be going with me. At first Max had refused, but Anna convinced him to go and take care of me. He nodded and went home. On the other hand, I showered and then paused in front of the mirror as I tried on the dress Walter had sent me. The dress was not only pretty, but it had a fitted finish at my waist and then flowed smoothly down to my thighs. The back was bare to the two small holes in my spine.However, all my attention was on the neckline, which highlighted my breasts and butt. Plus, the black color further highlighted my white skin. I looked fucking sexy and beautiful. For a moment, a slight smile tugged at my lips. Tonight was my night, and I would finally prove to Bennett that I was indeed capable of moving on with my life. Now I wasn't alone, but I had someone who wasn't ashamed to show me as his girlfriend in public, despite being a powerful alpha."Oh my
Update. After a long talk, Anna and I attended all the classes and went straight home. After all, my mother would never let me go to the mansion and I had nothing to wear. As I was looking at the dresses in Anna's closet, she pulled out a pair of jewelry "You should wear this necklace, it looks sexy with any dress"."Gosh, which one is better, this one or...?" Before I could finish thinking, the phone rang. I quickly took my phone out of my purse and looked at the screen "Walter, I... "Walter, I..." Where are you" asked Walter. "Where are you?" asked Walter "At my friend's house..." "Give me the address" said Walter. "What? It's early, you shouldn't come for me yet" I said with a smile."The address..." he hinted as if ignoring my words.I quickly sent him the address and hung up. Anna looked at me in confusion. However, in a few minutes later, a package arrived on her doorstep.Anna opened the box wide-eyed and took it up to her room "Oh my gosh! It's such a sexy dress" she s
Restaurant, 8:00 p.m. the night before. "Do you really think you're qualified to be Bennett's rival? I don't think so" Walter said as he swirled his wine glass. When I heard him say that, I arched an eyebrow in complete confusion. Walter had told me what Bennett had told me that night on the terrace. Just thinking about it sent a surge of anger through my chest. "What the hell did you say?" I retorted. My question made no change in Walter's expression; rather, he just raised his hand and motioned to a waiter. Immediately, a man came over and smiled kindly at us. Walter ordered a couple of specials and then refilled his glass. However, a sigh escaped my lips and I grabbed my purse."If you're not going to answer my questions, I'd better go. Good night, Alpha Walter"After saying that, I got up from my chair, but, before I took a step, I felt someone grab my wrist and stop me. I felt his fingers caress my palm as he gently pulled me towards the chair. "Sit down, please" he said i
I picked up the phone and started reading the news, but something completely caught my attention."-The New Era Group lost a million dollar project because of Delilah, a high school student and intern at the company, who was responsible for bringing it to fruition. At that, Alpha Bennett crossed out her resume, preventing another company from hiring her-"As soon as I read that, a surprised expression came to my lips. In fact, at that moment I remembered the time when Bennett kicked me out of his office after offering the famous project to Delilah. I was very angry with Bennett about that, after all I had told him that this girl had stolen my project and my chance to show my skills. Now, however, he had lost millions of dollars by not trusting me. A wry smile tugged at my lips "Wow, finally the truth came out and Bennett put her out of a job forever. Now she'll have to work as a maid" I said, pausing slightly. "It seems she couldn't hold back her lie any longer" Anna added."He's
"What the hell, let go of me!" I shouted, trying to break free.However, my efforts were futile. The palms of our hands mingled with our blood,"Swear right here that you will keep your distance from Alpha Walter!" He ordered me with his black eyes""Enough!" I shouted."No! Your life is in danger with a rival alpha. He can hurt you""I'm not safe with your alpha so don't make me do something I won't do" I said looking fiercely at Lucas.At that moment, the smell of fear hit my nose. I immediately turned my gaze to my mother, who was looking at me with reddened eyes"Hester...you...and that..."Before she could finish, I used my free hand and pushed Lucas away, managing to free my hand "I won't talk anymore" I said.Lucas clenched his fists and looked at me "You're a stubborn girl! Don't even think about showing up at the celebration. Alpha Bennett doesn't want you there!"When I heard that, I opened my eyes like saucers "What? No. I'm your sister, I have to go and..."I hadn't even f
Shit, it was obvious that Bennett had talked to Lucas. However, I wouldn't let him get away with it. "Yeah, I went to pick up a good friend," I said."Oh yeah, what friend?" Lucas asked in a sharp, annoyed tone. On the other hand, my mother's gaze was on me, with a raised eyebrow. Evidently, she had no idea what was going on. "Oh, honey, did you go to see that Luan guy who calls you so much?" my mother hinted.Hearing her words, I opened my eyes wide and clenched my fists. Fuck, couldn't this day get any worse? At that moment, I saw Lucas' eyes widen like saucers "Mother, what the fuck? Luan is not a name, it's a fucking title!" Lucas insinuated, getting up angrily from the couch. My mother looked at my brother and covered her lips in surprise "A... A title? " asked my mother. "Yes, it's the way they usually refer to their alpha in some pack" Lucas added with his eyes already black "Alpha Walter is the only one who receives that title in his pack".My mother slowly turned her gaz
From Derek's point of viewAlpha Damien's daughter was nothing but a fucking pain in the ass. The girl truly believed that the world revolved around her, but it was obvious that the world was different.As soon as I saw her enter the mansion, a sigh of relief escaped my lips."How can that girl be such a fool?" I said with a murmur.At that moment, Alesso approached me with a frown and asked "What the fuck was that all about?""Apparently, Miss Agatha still doesn't know where she stands in this pack" I said with a grimace on my lips.Alesso arched his eyebrow as
From Agatha's point of view Fuck, I was so pissed at Bennett for the humiliating way he treated me at the airport. I always knew he was a hard and uncaring man, but I thought he couldn't go any further, even let me hold his hand or kiss his cheek. But now everything seemed different. He seemed to hate having me around. At that moment, a feeling of discomfort ran through me. I remembered the order he had given me. But how could I go to Walter and ask him to leave that woman? With that in mind, I shook my head and looked up fearfully at Bennett. "Please don't make me talk to Walter. He doesn't listen to anyone but his wolf. I...I need to get away from him" I said in a trembling tone. Despite my words, Bennett slowly turned his head towards me "If that man doesn't stay away from her, I will bury him in the deepest place in the world".What are you saying? You can't do that! It will only start a war between the two packs!"Wasn't that what your brother wanted?" He said with total c
As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, I got out of the car and went inside immediately. Walter walked behind me, spreading a powerful aura that made all eyes fall on him. Ignoring him, I looked for the farthest table and sat down next to him. "What are you doing in the pack?" I finally asked. However, as Walter was about to answer, I grabbed the suit jacket and started to slide it off my shoulders, but Walter's voice stopped me before I continued. "Don't do it, leave it" he said. I looked up and pursed my lips in confusion. Walter had a serious, but calm expression "I won't take it off, but..." I started to say. I tried to speak, but his hoarse voice interrupted me "I came here to attend the celebration at the mansion. It is an important meeting both for you and for me.At that moment, I remembered the words Lucas had said to me "So, you came to set the date for your little sister's wedding? Wow, I thought you were against that wedding" I said with a mocking tone, while insid
