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 could feel the heat of Bennett's breath on my skin as his hands squeezed my waist and arms.I wanted to lean my head against his chest, but I restrained myself and snapped back to reality. With a gasp, I opened my eyes and noticed his lips kissing my neck before he pulled away."Ready" he said in a deep tone. I quickly looked at myself in the mirror and was stunned. I knew that alphs had the power to heal serious wounds with their saliva, but it only worked on someone they really loved. From thinking about it, I felt my heart pounding. To my surprise, the claw marks had disappeared, making my eyes widen in surprise. Seeing my expression, he let out a mocking laugh and shook his head "Something to say?" he said, leaving his warm breath on my skin. Fuck, even his breath generated a million emotions inside my body. He was like a fucking oasis that I would go to for the rest of my life. "Thank you" I said as I still kept my eyes on the mirror. I couldn't believe that he had heal
While I was wandering in my mind, suddenly Bennett's voice brought me back to reality "You are wrong, I didn't do it for that reason, I just want to correct what I did wrong. I know I behaved unfairly with you and I shouldn't have done it" he said with a low and indifferent tone. For a moment I was enraptured contemplating how her lips moved, but just at that moment a loud knock on the door brought me out of my head. "Hester, are you still there, are you all right?" Max's voice came from the hallway. With a gasp, I lifted my head and looked toward the door. Without hesitation, I put my hands on Bennett's chest and pushed him back. "Fuck, he's my friend.... You need to hide" I said in panic. At my actions Bennett opened his eyes in surprise and grabbed me by the waist to join my chest again. "What, are you afraid that he will see you here with me? Why are you behaving like this?" he said with an indifferent expression. When I heard his question, I looked him in the eye and felt a
Did Alpha Bennett just apologize to me? Was he for real? I never thought I would hear those words come from the lips of the darkest alpha in the shifter world. However, as I was rambling, a familiar voice was heard entering the bathroom. "Oh my God, what have my eyes seen? I shook my head and saw Anna's beaming smile approaching me, "What? What are you talking about? "Don't play dumb, I just saw Alpha Bennett come out of this bathroom. Was he here with you? Did he say something to you? Is that why it took you so long to touch up your makeup?" she asked, asking more than five questions in one second. "What are you insinuating?" I said.But before I could answer, she came closer and started scanning my neck with her eyes. In a second, her eyes widened like two plates."I see, you don't have any wild marks on your body? And from your smile, I see that he has apologized to you, hasn't he?"How... how do you know? Did you even hear him?""Heavens, Hester, I heard it all. I hid in the
As soon as I got back to the company, I went straight up to my floor. I didn't even look at the employees mumbling around me; I just stopped in the hallway when I got off the elevator and saw a couple of alphas coming out of the meeting room. "Gosh, Alpha Bennett is a determined man. From the beginning he's been looking to lead the Midnight Sun pack.""But doesn't Alpha Walter disagree? I don't think he'll let it go so easily. He asked me what agreement those men had come to" I heard one of the alphas mutter.I looked at the two alphas with a raised eyebrow as I wondered what would have happened in that meeting.On the other hand, I stood outside the room waiting for Bennett. When all the alphas came out, I finally saw Bennett come out of the room.I felt a rush of joy as soon as I smelled the delicious aroma of my mate. I quickly ran to him with a wide smile. "Alpha..."Bennett looked at me and motioned for me to follow him to his office. Without a word, I followed his footsteps i
At that moment, I stopped dead in my tracks. Fuck, what had I done? I felt a wave of shame run through my chest. I quickly sat down on the bench and looked down. However, Walter's voice came through "Can you see that? It's huge" Walter said, catching my attention. At that, I scanned all around me, but found nothing "What are you talking about? I don't see anything" I said. "No? I see huge fear and jealousy everywhere" he added mockingly. My eyes widened like saucers as I ran my gaze over him. Walter let out a derisive snort as he shoved his hands in his pockets. "I see that your fear is bigger than you are. It's a mistake, don't you think?” he exclaimed, pausing slightly. I wanted to ask what he meant, but he interjected. "If it causes you so much distrust, drop it and come with me" insinuated Walter. I blinked awkwardly as his words reached my ears "What... what are you saying?" "I said come with me and leave him" he repeated again as he extended one of his hands towar
Before I could finish, Walter sat down next to me and leaned into me, making me step back and lean against the back of the bench. "You look beautiful, do you dress like that for him?" he asked. My cheeks turned completely red at his words. Indeed, he was right, but how could I tell him? Shaking my head, I cleared my throat and looked at him "You... are you the son of Alpha Damian, Agatha's brother?" I finally asked."Yes, Alpha Damian is my father" he answered changing his soft expression to a mournful one. "Your sister... she..." I said, stopping my words with a slight pause. The reality was that I didn't know how to talk to him now that I knew who he really was. Besides, he was the stepbrother of the woman who wanted my man. "And what's the question?" he hinted sounding serious."I want you to tell her to stay away from my mate" I said clenching my fists boldly.At my question, Walter arched an eyebrow as he leaned against the back of the bench "That's not a question, and why
I was completely shocked when I heard him say that. At first, he came out of the meeting room with a dangerous and cold aura, but now he spoke to me kindly, and even smiled confidently. "Are you coming?" he hinted again.I pursed my lips and looked around the meeting room. Everyone still seemed busy and Bennett said he didn't need me. At that, I just turned to Walter and nodded. I walked quietly behind Walter as the employees looked at him curiously. "Is he alpha, Walter?" muttered one of the secretaries. "Oh, he's very handsome" "I've heard he's a powerful and cruel man""Heaven, he even murdered his own mate to keep all the power for himself""It's absurd, I hear he hasn't met his mate and wanders from herd to herd in search of her"As Walter and I entered the elevator, a myriad of rumors were heard. The reality is that I knew nothing of the rumors about Walter. In fact, the only thing the company could verify was that Alpha Walter and Alpha Bennett are rivals. Faced with th
When the clock struck 8:30, an idea occurred to me. I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed one of the most famous restaurants in town. I wanted to make a reservation for Bennett and me, after all, tonight was ours. As soon as I made the reservation, I noticed a great relief and got up from my desk to walk to the door of the meeting room. I knew the meeting would be over any minute, so I waited for Bennett to invite him to dinner as soon as he came out. A couple of minutes passed when suddenly the door to the meeting room burst open. The first to come out was a man in a dark suit with short hair. Although I didn't see his face, I was impressed by his broad back and enormous stature. The man radiated a strange, strong power, and I stood still watching his back for a second, until he turned to me. My eyes widened in surprise when I saw his face "Luan?" I whispered. The man looked different, with an arrogant and cold aura, contrary to how kind he seemed to be to me. "How did y
But, just then, Derek's phone started ringing. Derek looked at Bennett, who nodded his head in permission. Quickly, Derek picked up the phone and answered the call "Yes. I'll pass him the phone" Derek said, handing the phone to Bennett.Bennett looked at the phone, placed it roughly over his ear and looked back at me."Go back to your office" he said. At that, I nodded and walked toward the office door. However, as I was about to open the door, I heard Bennett's voice behind me. "What!" shouted Bennett angrily. His shout made me gasp in fear. I had no idea what was going on or that they were talking to Bennett. But it was clear he was furious. "Why the hell do you want to move up the meeting? Have you threatened the other Alphas?” hinted Bennett angrily. I didn't want to listen any longer, but opened the door, but before I could take a step, I heard Bennett's shout again. "Do whatever you want! But if you dare to touch her, I will deal with you myself. Don't forget who I am an
Bennett knew exactly how to drive me crazy. I wanted to give myself to him right there as he caressed my body under my clothes. I moved my waist to brush against his huge bulge as his tongue roamed my mouth. I was lost in his devouring kiss when suddenly I noticed his hand sliding down to my thick thigh and grabbing my panties snapping them. I gasped as I felt one of his fingers caress my folds; a feeling of pleasure and desperation coursed through my body. "Fuck!" I gasped awkwardly as I felt his finger caress my clit. My heart started pounding so fast that I didn't even wait a second before I got off his lap and leaned right between his legs. I didn't look away from his face as my hands grabbed his fly and unbuttoned his pants. A sigh escaped my lips as I pulled down his pants and Bennett's huge cock popped out right in front of my face. My eyes widened like saucers and my skin bristled. It wasn't the first time I'd seen my mate's cock, but it was undoubtedly perfect. A
Bennett was silent as he looked at me with an annoyed expression. I couldn't understand what he was thinking. What if Agatha manages to fall in love with him? What if Bennett leaves with her? What if he abandons me or exiles me from the pack? Fuck, I felt my stomach churn at so many questions. I shook my head and moved a little closer to Bennett. "Mate, I don't want you to be mad at me. We can work out anything. But please don't let that woman come near you" I said that as I laid my head on his chest. The reality is that I didn't want to lose Bennett. He was my mate and the second chance at love that the goddess had given me. After all, Freddy had broken my heart, but now everything was starting to shine again. I wanted to keep my mate in my life no matter what it took. He was my man and I was completely his. "Stop thinking so much. Concentrate on your work and your studies" Bennett hinted as he began to stroke my hair. The simple touch of his warm hands on my head created a
However, even before I could nod, Agatha's eyes widened in terror. "What? Why? Why is the Midnight Sun pack going?" she asked with terror in her tone of voice.At that, I raised a confused eyebrow. She really was terrified, but why, wasn't it her father's pack? "Is Alpha Walter's presence important" Bennett said indifferently. Agatha shook her head quickly "No, it's not important. My father can represent the pack. It is not necessary for Alpha Walter to attend tomorrow's meeting" she said awkwardly. As soon as Agatha said that, Bennett's eyes turned black, he clenched his fists and glared at Agatha. She cleared her throat and lowered her gaze "It's... it's Alpha Walter" she said fearfully. "So what? This is my pack. Alpha Walter can't do anything here" Bennett said.My eyes widened like saucers when I heard him. For a second I was confused; after all I had read something about alpha Walter. Although the title of alpha belonged by blood to Agatha's older brother, they gave the t
