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.
I had spent the whole afternoon sleeping, so I wasn't sleepy. I lay in bed and tossed and turned all over the bed. I tried to read a little to get to sleep, but I couldn't. My mind kept playing images of Bennett and everything that had happened. My mind just replayed images of Bennett and everything that had happened. As I thought in bed, an idea occurred to me. Bennett knew I would beg for my brother again, just as I had done the first time.If so, I would have to go to the company again and confront him. As I thought about that, a deep sigh escaped my lips. Fuck, fuck! This couldn't be happening. I spent the whole night thinking about Bennett's proposal. Shit, I'd have to become the alpha's bitch to get my brother's Gamma position back. On the other hand, I couldn't let my mother know everything that had happened. She still had heart problems and any worry could make her sick. Hours passed and the sun finally came out. My whole body was shaking and my eyes were heavy. I got ou
I spent a few days thinking only about Bennett and what he said. At night I would lock myself in my room and cry, while trying to spend as much time as possible in the library hiding the truth from my friends and my mother....Fuck, I longed for the old Bennett to come back and never have said those words to me. I couldn't understand why everything had to be like that, what was the reason the world always treated me like that? As I thought about that, I sat on the bed and looked at the mirror next to it. My eyes were puffy and my lips were purple; my hair had even lost luster and I was lost. However, a voice was heard from the dining room "Daughter, let's eat".I sighed, wiped the tears from my cheeks and went down to the dining room. It was the weekend and my mother was missing me spending so much time at home. "Didn't you look a little exhausted, didn't you sleep well?" my mother asked. I was about to answer her when her phone started ringing. She answered and her eyes sparkl
As I was in the cab on the way home, I went to the window and watched the whole ride.My mind kept replaying the words Bennett had said to me in the office. He seemed very confident in saying that I would go back to him, but a derisive snort left my lips. I would never go back to that guy, let alone everything he had said. Thinking about it, the car parked in front of my house and I thanked the driver before getting out. As soon as I entered the house, I greeted my mother and sat down next to her. "How did it go?" my mother asked."Good, a little exhausted. I just went to deliver something and I have the day off" I said feeling terrible for lying to my mother. She didn't ask many questions, but we did start talking a bit. I explained a couple of things to her and she understood perfectly. "I love you so much, Mom" I said giving her a huge hug. She smiled, kissed me on the cheek and hugged me back. Suddenly an idea flooded my mind and I couldn't help but ask "When you met dad di
I went up the elevator running away from Bennett, however, when the elevator opened at the reception desk, a shrill voice reached my ears."Oh, it's Hester Winters!" said Delilah with a mocking tone.I turned to look at her with an annoyed expression and let out an exhausted sigh. However, she let out a smirk and looked at me with disgust. "Gosh, I can see you haven't had a good day, have you?""What do you want?" I replied, not hiding my temper. "I want to know how it went last night with Alpha. I bet you tried to seduce him, as you do with all the men you meet, but by your face, I see you didn't succeed" she said, making the others present mock. For a moment I wanted to retort, but I remembered what Bennett had proposed. Was I, to everyone else, a slut who only slept with men for money? Did Bennett think of me that way too?I remained silent, as the voice of another employee was heard"Do you sound like you know Miss Hester very well, is that right?" the clerk asked Delilah."Of
From Hester's point of viewI thought about it all night and decided the best thing to do would be to quit. This man felt nothing for me, the bond was growing stronger every day and he just wanted to sleep with me like I was a slut. Thinking about it, I prepared my letter of resignation and left early for the company. When I informed Bennett of my decision, he looked at me stunned and mocking. "What makes you think I'm going to leak it?" He said with a cynical tone. "You need a secretary willing to sleep with you in exchange for money. I'm not that one" I replied fearlessly Bennett frowned and pushed the folder back toward me "Are you crazy?"Before I could respond, Bennett opened a drawer next to him, pulled out my purse and placed it on the desk next to my phone. I reached out to take it, but he pushed it away from my grasp "No, I'll only give it back to you when you tell me where you spent the night.""What are you talking about?" I asked confused. "You know perfectly well wh
From Bennett's point of view, After I dropped Hester off at her house, I immediately went to a club. Fuck, I was so mad at myself.I had tried to be gentle with her for so long, but her exquisite scent was unbearable. I should have told her my intentions from the beginning. However, my wolf was reluctant to be subdued. The reality is that this girl had something that made me admire her: not only her physique, but also the way she was, the way she spoke and thought.She was perfect in every way. However, I was an alpha, I didn't want to bond or fall in love with anyone. An entire pack and several extensions depended on me, and if I fell in love and the rogues knew about it, they could use it against me. With that in mind, I went straight to the club I frequented the most and walked to the bar. Since I walked in many women were looking at me with lascivious expressions, but I exuded a powerful aura that even I couldn't control myself. I ordered a bottle of vodka and began to drink
I walked down the street without looking back; I didn't care where I was going, I didn't even know where I was, I just wanted to forget the idea that my own mate was making me miserable. It was obvious that Bennett had always wanted me to be his sex slave. He never cared about me, and he never felt love for me. I thought he had bought me things, and even treated me better out of love, or because of your bond, but it was obvious that everything he did was to convince me to be his whore. Just thinking about it brought tears to my eyes and I couldn't help it.I did not understand why the moon goddess had put me in that situation, had I committed some sin in my past life?However, as I was walking, I heard a car approaching behind me. I didn't even turn around when I assumed it was Bennett following me.I picked up my pace, trying to avoid him, but he started honking his horn and stopped right next to me. "Get in the car" Bennett said to me from the window. I shook my head and continu
Didn't Bennett feel our bond? No, I can't keep thinking about it, hoping it was all a damn nightmare.I turned to him and sketched a smile "Is this a test" I asked, clenching my fists to keep from crying.However, as soon as I asked that question, a grimace of annoyance left my lips. I couldn't help but feel angry and disappointed at the same time Hadn't the moon goddess given me a slam dunk?"No, be my wife and stay with me. My wolf wants you every damn day" he said wanting to get closer to me.I reacted quickly and lowered my gaze by pressing my lips together to get away from his presence "Do you really not feel our bond?" I finally asked.
From Bennett's point of view, The bond with Hester was becoming more and more unbearable. She looked stunning in that dress. Her breasts looked perfectly round and her ass seemed to call to me. Plus, her waist was narrow and her face, like that of a goddess. At first I wanted to wait for the new treaty celebration party to end, but I couldn't take it anymore. So I bowed and took Hester to a hotel away from the herd. As soon as I wrapped my arms around her body, I noticed her heart begin to flutter nervously. I couldn't help but enjoy her reaction. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply as I brushed my nose against her neck and bit her gently."Ah" she moaned painfully. However, when I heard her moan, everything in me ignited "Fuck, you don't know how much you make me feel when I smell you" I said, biting her neck again. She gasped quietly as I tightened my grip on her waist and noticed her trembling body. Unable to stand it any longer, I turned my body and hugged her until I fe
