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
It was late morning when I finally opened my eyes. The sun was already at its peak. I glanced quickly at the wall clock and frowned: fuck, it was 7:30 in the morning. I didn't even remember that I had to be at the company at 8 o'clock. So I quickly got out of bed and took a shower. For some reason, my heart was beating fast and my legs were shaking. The thought of going back to that place was driving me crazy. I shook my head and finished showering. I wore a semi-transparent dress and low heels. I also wore my hair in a ponytail and no make-up. I just left the house and took a taxi straight to Bennett's company. When I entered the building, everyone turned to me. Their eyes widened in surprise as they began to murmur. In a second, a group of employees approached me. At the sight of them, I took a step back and panicked; however, one of the women approached me with her eyes lowered. "Hester, we... We are so sorry" said the girl. -We misunderstood the situation. It is the first ti
Just imagining Bennett seeing me every day at work sent a shiver through my body. I immediately turned to him and frowned. "Alpha, I'd like to know if I can change offices," I said. "What? Why?" he asked with wide eyes. "I mean, I'm going to be his personal secretary now, I should have Solange's office, right?"He looked at me and arched an eyebrow, "That's it?".Before he could finish, I quickly interjected, "I know you're a busy man and everyone is at your feet, but I have conditions if I come back to work for you. I don't feel comfortable in that office, so I'd like to change it" I didn't even consider what he might say, but it was clear that he saw me through that glass every day and, knowing that, I couldn't work there. At my words, he was surprised "Uncomfortable? For what reason in particular?" he said. "Yes, in fact, I've felt that someone is spying on me in that office and I really don't like it, so that's my only condition," I added without wanting to digress. Bennett
In fact, it had been a long time since I had seen Alesso. The man was handsome and had a gentle expression on his face, which caused the women around me to stare at him in rapt attention.Delilah, on the other hand, crossed her arms and frowned, "It's a joke, isn't it? How can she be Alpha Bennett's personal secretary? She's a backstabbing bitch. Besides, Alpha Bennett's too smart to want a bimbo like her as his secretary. That's impossible," Delilah insinuated arrogantly. The women around her looked at her mockingly, but Alesso let out a soft grunt. He wanted to say something, but she stopped him. "Who are you? Do I pay you to come here and lie? What a low you have stooped". She added with a loud laugh. I thought Delta Alesso would respond, but the man just raised an eyebrow and stood silently watching her. "Leave me alone, Delilah" I said wanting to move towards the table and ignoring her "I don't have time for this".However, when I took a step away, she grabbed my arm and pull
Michael gave Alesso a sidelong glance and pursed his lips before turning his gaze to me. I gestured for him to sit next to me, but he smiled and shook his head. "I'd love to join you, but I've got a lot of work to do. See you later," Michael said, and walked away. I was a little puzzled by his response. But as soon as Alesso came back, I understood everything. Alesso was alpha Bennett's delta, so it was very rare for him to interact with the secretaries. Even we employees couldn't sit next to him. While I was thinking about that, Alesso's voice snapped me out of my trance "So, how is your first day as the CEO's personal secretary going?" he asked. I looked at him without forcing a grimace "Well, the same as before"."All the same? Shouldn't you be doing other things more... you know" he said winking at me.My pupils dilated at his insinuation.I was almost overcome with anger, but he spoke again."Alpha Bennett is a rather difficult man, and only his personal secretary could help
The reality is that mate's bond with an alpha was the strongest and I couldn't imagine what she was going through, but I couldn't accept or reject it either. Thinking about it, I looked away and looked at Alesso. "You're right. If I'm helping her, it's only because she's my Gamma's sister, Lucas" I said without showing any emotion.Alesso made a disgusted face and drank some water from his glass. We were both silent for a second until I spoke again "Tell me, what are you doing here?""I came here on a matter of your ex-fiancée's pack," he said, capturing my full attention. "What's going on?" I asked with a completely nonchalant expression."The young Alpha of the herd is back, so his father is going to hand over the title of head Alpha of the herd to him," said Alesso. My face became relieved as I looked at the table. Gunter was my ex-fiancee's older brother. The reality is that the man had health problems because of his bad decisions, so his father, the alpha, had sent him abroad
For a moment, I flashed back to the time when Bennett had sent me to investigate all about Alpha Rolan's pack and discovered that his greatest weakness was his food supply.In fact, his pack did not generate food, so if alliances were to close, his pack would starve to death. Thinking about it, I felt my heart ache. For the first time, I had seen Bennett's dark side. The way he took satisfaction in having control over the lives of thousands of members was strange. He had the look of a bloodthirsty demon. Bennett was utterly terrifying.Yet something inside me was shaking in a strange way. My wolf wanted to see Bennett's furious side. However, while I was thinking about it, I missed a couple of minutes of the meeting. "Alpha, Bennett, I'm sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to" said Alpha Rolan with a slightly apologetic tone. Bennett nodded and waved his hand slightly. "I'll accept your apology when you start doing business, instead of complaining" said Bennett lighting anothe
On the other hand, I briefed the managers and staff needed for the meeting. I needed everything to be perfect so Bennett wouldn't stay mad at meWhen I finished organizing everything, I headed back to Bennett's office. "Alpha, everything is ready for the meeting. Alpha Rolan will be here in an hour" I said with a smile of triumph. Bennett seemed to hear my words, but said nothing. However, he continued to stare at his laptop in silence. "Jeez, how pretentious and quirky" I muttered in a fucking low tone, Bennett suddenly looked up, "What did you just say?" he implied. As soon as I heard it, my eyes widened with fear and I swallowed saliva "I.... No... nothing" I said awkwardly. His eyes scanned my entire body, settling on mine. For a moment, the room was filled with a tense, dangerous aura. I didn't understand what was going through that man's mind, but one thing was clear: he was angry with me. I wanted to ask what was going on, but, at that moment, the office door opened and
From Freddy's point of viewMy intention was to go to my brother's company and talk to Hester, but as soon as I saw her get out of my brother's car, I became like a demon.What was she doing in that car? I was about to growl at her and say something, but, as soon as I realized, I saw Bennett get out of the car with her. My fists clenched and I tried to talk to her, but she refused. So, I made an appointment with the receptionist, even though I thought Bennett wouldn't take it; surprisingly, he called for me to come up. After Hester left my brother's office, I was silent for a while until I finally opened my mouth. "Brother, I came for..."Before I could speak, he waved his hand and took the coffee cup from his desk."What do you want?" he asked, placing the cup back on the table. "I came for Hester" I finally said.However, just as that name left my lips, Bennett's expression became annoyed. His eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched tightly. "What did you say?" He asked coldly. "H
As I was preparing Bennett's coffee, two female employees walked together toward one of the cubicles. "Did you see that? That girl sure was smart," said one of the employees."Are you talking about the alpha's personal secretary?" asked another employee."Yes. I saw how she got out of the car with Alpha Bennett. Do you know what that means?"" What a dirty woman. Clearly she slept with alpha Bennett in exchange for money. That's how she would have earned the job. Spreading her legs".I'm sure the girl seduced him so he would hire her.As I listened to the girls, a wave of anger ran through my body. However, at that moment I heard the old woman's voice."Hester, is something wrong?" asked one of the old women, quickly patting my shoulder. Hearing her, I snapped out of my trance and saw that the coffee was ready. "Oh my God, yes, I'm fine."As soon as I said that, I turned my gaze back to the female employees, but they looked at me and looked frightened. I wanted to yell at them and
Freddy grimaced in annoyance and walked over to me, "What the fuck are you doing getting out of Bennett's car?I froze for a second before raising my hand and gesturing, "Your brother's here," I said. Freddy hadn't even noticed Bennett, who was standing behind me with a neutral expression. "Brother" Freddy added, swallowing dryly. It was one of the few times both brothers were together in front of me, which made me feel sick. I knew they loved each other very much, but when they looked at me their faces were indifferent, as if I was the cause of their anger.I was thinking about it and felt fucking uncomfortable, but I didn't want Freddy to make a fuss. "What are you doing here?" I heard Bennett suddenly ask his brother.Freddy arched an eyebrow and looked at me before turning around, "You know, I came for my girl, could you give us a moment alone?"
For a second I wanted to pull away slightly, but Bennett lifted his hand to my chin and forced me to look into his eyes.His fingertip gently slid across my lip, making me let out a soft gasp. My whole body trembled at his delicate touch as my eyes rested softly on him. I thought he was going to kiss me, but he turned his lips to my ear "Stop seducing me, mate" he said with a tempting tone. As soon as I heard those words, my whole world stopped. But what the fuck, had I heard wrong, had Bennett finally accepted me as his destined mate?My eyes reddened with excitement as my wolf howled full of desire inside me. I wanted to jump on him, kiss him and hug him for our bond, but I restrained myself. "My Mate" I murmured not realizing he could hear me.However, when I opened my eyes, Bennett was surprised by what I had just said. In a matter of seconds, he let go of my chin and stepped back shaking his head."I must get ready" he said, returning to puffing on his cigarette. I was comple
I walked to the door and opened it without even touching it; after all, I was bored of not finding Bennett. To my surprise, my eyes widened when I looked at that impressed man lying on the bed sleeping. I couldn't help swallowing saliva and noticed a tingling sensation throughout my body. Bennett was face down, on his shirt, with the black sheets over him. His hair was disheveled and his back was bare.A blanket covered his lower half, but his arms seemed to be under a pillow, while his muscular back was in front of my eyes. Shit, seeing his perfect skin made my wolf howl with excitement inside me. I gently entered the room and moved closer to better detail her face. However, as I circled the bed silently, I saw that her perfect face was incredibly sexy. How could anyone look so perfect sleeping? I bit my lower lip at the sight of his beautiful pink lips "How perfect is this man!"
***I had no idea what was going through Bennett's mind, but could there be a possibility that he had fallen in love with me? Maybe the bond was as strong as Anna had told me. Thinking of everyone I let out a sigh and smiled shyly. At that moment I remembered the words he had whispered in my ear. He had specified that he was not a womanizer and that he was hopelessly interested in a girl. That just meant that he wasn't looking out for any other girl. Fuck, he almost directly confessed his feelings for me!"Miss?" The driver's voice snapped me out of my trance. I shook my head and came back to reality "What?""As I have already informed you, we arrived at your house, is something wrong?" Said the man looking at me through the rearview mirror.Fuck I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize that we had been parked in front of my house for a few minutes. I quickly nodded and got out of the car thanking the man. As I entered my house my mother quickly ran up to me with a smil
With a huge smile on my face, I walked to my office and sat down at my desk.Although I was wandering in my thoughts, I needed to think about some more security, so I pulled out my folder and checked Bennett's schedule for the rest of the day.Surprisingly, he didn't have any meetings, which was strange. I had checked the schedule yesterday and had seen a meeting for that afternoon, but apparently Bennett had pushed it back to the next day.I shook my head and went to the coffee machine to make Bennett's usual cup of coffee.However, when I walked back into his office, he motioned me over and I put the cup on his desk before returning to my office. Bennett looked busy, so I didn't bother him
