When all the classes were over, I left the school and went to the taxi rank. However, while I was waiting, I saw a black luxury car parked in front of me. At first I thought it was someone coming to pick up a student, but as I was about to take a step towards the other street, the car window opened. My eyes widened as I saw Freddy's face in the driver's seat of the black car. At that moment, my smile disappeared and I wanted to turn around. But before I could cross the street, Freddy quickly got out of the car and approached me. "Please, I need to talk to you," he said behind me.I heard his words, but I decided to ignore them and kept walking."Please, just for a second" he said, running up to grab my arm and stop me. I immediately turned my gaze angrily towards him as I broke free from his grip, "What do you want, Freddy?"He raised his hands in surrender "I'm not looking for trouble. I just came here to take you to the company" He hinted calmly. I arched an eyebrow and cross
When Michael and I finally arrived at the company, he got out of the car and opened the passenger door for me, and I couldn't help but smile at his kindness. We both walked into the building while we chatted a bit. He got out on the floor of the finance department and I followed him to the top floor. I went into my office and then went to make Bennett's coffee. When I was done, I walked over to his office and waited for his directions to enter. "Come in" he said from inside the office. With a sigh, I walked in and placed the coffee on his desk. Bennett didn't even look up, however. He seemed to be concentrating on a folder in his hand. "Alpha, I've brought you your coffee" I said. But despite my words, he didn't look up from the file. At that moment I felt a bit confused. But just as I was about to say something else, the man waved his hand. "You can go to your office now. I'll be fine" he said in a cold and pretentious tone. At his words, I froze and looked at him in surprise
From Bennett's point of viewHester's words made me clench my fists under my desk.When I arrived that morning at the company, my wolf was restless. As if something made him uncomfortable.Although I tried to talk to him, he ignored me, which made me even more frustrated. I looked out the window again and again hoping to see Hester and inhale her scent to calm my wolf.However, as I was inhaling my cigarette, I looked at the entrance to the company. A fancy car pulled up and Hester got out with Michael.What the fuck were the two of them doing together, why was she in that bastard's car?
From Michael's point of viewWhen we were in the jewelry store, I couldn't help but notice Hester. My God, she was unlike any girl I had ever met. At first I wanted to get her a nice necklace, but the price was an excessive amount. Luckily, she refused and showed her humility. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. Besides, she was not a greedy girl like the others. I had never noticed her beautiful smile or the way her eyes widened when she liked something. After shopping, we went to my car. We were almost an hour in the car when I pulled up in front of a huge peach-colored house. "Oh my God, it's huge. I've never been here before" she said as I walked into the house. Hearing her, I nodded my head and, wasting no time, set the table to put out the snacks and orchid cake. "Shall we start?" she said, as she raised her hands. I smiled and we both started decorating. She placed a couple of purple balloons and I couldn't take my eyes off her beautiful face.Fuck, I co
I swallowed dryly and climbed into the car in complete silence. I sensed Bennett's dangerous air in the air. My legs began to shake and my face went white.However, when I closed the car door, I looked over and saw Bennett in the driver's seat. Didn't he have a driver?Nevertheless, all my attention was on his angry stare and his hands, which were clenching the steering wheel tightly. I was completely silent. I didn't know what to say or what to do. It was obvious that Bennett was completely furious.He just drove the car down the dark road without saying anything. After a few minutes of silence, I couldn't take it anymore. "Alpha...?" I asked cautiously. Bennett didn't even look away from the road; he just stepped on the accelerator. The way he acted made me panic. The buildings went by so fast that my heart began to pound with fear. "Alpha, please. I need to know what's going on. Did I make a mistake in one of the files," I asked, holding on tightly to the seat. At that instan
From Bennett's point of view.How the fuck could I say that to Hester? When Michael said those words, I was so embarrassed my face nearly fell off in shame. She'd only gone to help him decorate the house for her mother's birthday, and I'd treated her like she was a slut who slept with men for cheap gifts. I'm such an idiot! I didn't even remember that Michael's mother and Hester's mother were friends. The reality is that from the moment I saw her arrive at the company with Michael, I was furious. But when she explained to me that he had just taken her there, my anger subsided. I tried to stay calm, but then I wanted to take her home and she turned me down and left with that idiot. I couldn't take it anymore. A million things went through my mind. I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed my men to follow her. It was almost 12 a.m. and she was still at that idiot's house. What else could she do in that house if his mother wasn't there? I couldn't help but call her and order her t
From Hester's point of view.Bennett had forced me into his car and carried me in his muscular arms. This man believed he was the king of the world and that everyone should do as he said.Thinking about it, I kept silent until he spoke. It was obvious that he thought I was just some random bitch, which made me even angrier.I spat my words in his face without caring about his expression of surprise or anger.However, just when I thought he would rebut with his alpha command, I suddenly felt him lean towards me, causing my back to lean against the back of the seat.His breath gently brushed my face and my heart almost exploded w
I woke up earlier than usual and had a quick shower. I had to get to school quickly, so I rushed downstairs, had breakfast and said goodbye to my mother. When I finally arrived at school, I ran to the classroom, but to my surprise they had changed the classrooms, so there were a lot of new faces. I was surprised that there were many more boys than girls, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Thinking about it, I stopped in a corner hoping to find Anna, but suddenly an irritating voice was heard behind me. "As usual, Hester Winter trying to be the centre of attention. Are you trying to pick up some boy and...?" Delilah hadn't even finished speaking when Anna grabbed my hand and motioned for her to shut up."How dare you?" Delilah said behind me.Ignoring her, I took Anna's hand and we both went to our seats. "Jeez, Delilah was just born to annoy others" Anna said, turning to me with her eyes rolling. "Yeah, maybe" I said, unable to keep from smiling. Anna grimaced and rolled
Bennett's growl made everyone fall to their knees on the ground at once. At that moment, my eyes fell on his face. His grim expression and the way his eyes turned black made him look fucking sexy. Thinking about that, I shook my head and snapped back to reality. "Are you okay?" Lucas asked.I nodded my head and looked at him with a raised eyebrow "Lucas? Why did you bring him? I called out to you!" I asked in a soft whisper.Lucas stroked my hair as he held my hand "I was at the Alpha mansion when I got your call".When I heard that, a solar discomfort crossed my chest. I couldn't help but think of Agatha, who now lived there, and Bennett, who evidently went to see her."Hester, why were you out of the house? You're still hot with fever" she hinted at me when she saw my silence.I looked up and smelled Bennett's delicious scent. But, before I could say anything, the old man's voice was heard. "Alpha, Bennett, please forgive us..." said the man fearfully.Bennett looked at the man a
Immediately, four burly men approached from the parking lot. Two of them grabbed the girl's arm and tried to pull her away from me, while the other two guards grabbed me by the waist and dragged me away. The girl's screams, full of terror, could be heard over and over again. My mind was clouded for a few seconds as everyone passing by on the street began to approach to see the scene. "Let go of me!" I couldn't even finish my words when suddenly the old woman pushed me and I fell backwards to the ground. The pain in my back became even more intense as I tried to get up "Leave the girl alone!" I shouted angrily.Alpha Erik let out a growl and stopped in front of me "Who the hell do you think you are to threaten an alpha?" he insinuated, kicking my side causing a scream of pain to escape my lips.I didn't even say a word when he leaned over and grabbed my neck. "I don't know who the hell you are, but you just made a huge mistake. I'll make your life a living hell! I wasn't scared of
After a few minutes, I got off the elevator and walked through the lobby straight to the exit, but, just then, Delilah's gaze landed on me. I tried to ignore her and make my way, but she ran up and stopped right in front of me with a smile on her face."Oh, Hester, is something wrong? Let me guess..." Delilah paused as her sneer became more and more evident. It was obvious that everyone in the company knew about Bennett's engagement. At that, I looked away from Delilah and tried to make my way over, but she stopped me again. "I know... Alpha showed you where you really belong. Gosh, have you seen Miss Agatha? She's a goddess, she's beautiful, she's got money, she's elegant, and besides, she's marrying Alpha Bennett. Clearly, there is no more room for trash lovers like you" Delilah said mockingly. Her words came to me like a big poisoned dagger, but I just shook my head and looked at her. "You can believe whatever you want. I don't have time for your bullshit"I didn't expect her
The mere touch of Bennett's hand on my wrist made my whole body shudder. I immediately turned my gaze to him and tried to break free from his grip, but he tightened his fingers and held me steady. "Why are you so stubborn?" he asked looking at me with his deep, cold eyes. "I don't want you to touch me again," I growled, before I jerked my hand roughly and loosened his grip.I took a step back and pulled my body away from his, but he frowned and his gaze became calmer."You're still burning hot. You have a fever""That's none of your business. Go and worry about your wife, she's your future Luna, she does deserve all your concern." A roar came out of my throat without me being able to help it.I wanted to turn and run away from the office, but he grabbed my arm again and pulled me to his hard chest "You must calm down" he said, leaving his warm breath on my face. "Let go of me! I'm not going to calm down!" I screamed, struggling to pull away from his grip, but he only tightened hi
When I finished showering, I stepped out of the bathroom and noticed that my body was shaking. I shook my head to calm down as I put on a dress and a pair of low heels. Part of me wanted to go back to bed and keep sleeping, but I needed to break away from this thing that was killing me inside. . Thinking about it, I combed my hair and went downstairs to the living room. "Will you go out?" my mother asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, I'll go to the company. I must finish some urgently needed work" I hinted, clenching my fists behind my back. "But you have a fever. You can't. "Don't worry. I'll be fine" I announced trying to calm my mother down. She nodded and I said goodbye before leaving the house. I took a cab and headed for the company.As soon as the car pulled up, my eyes widened at the decorations all over the place. It was obvious that everything was for Bennett's engagement. "We've arrived" said the cab driver, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Thank you very much", I s
After talking to Lucas for a while, he let out a sigh and got up from the couch "Are you hungry? Do you want me to fix you something to eat?" "No, thanks. Where's my mother?" I asked, changing the subject."She's asleep. I didn't want her to be here when you came over" He said with a raised eyebrow."Thank you. I'll go to my room. I'll get some sleep" I said getting up from the couch without any encouragement. Lucas nodded his head, but before I took a step, I heard his voice at my back "Are you going to be okay?". At his question, I turned around and a smirk left my lips "Lucas... if you knew Bennett was going to marry Agatha, why didn't you tell me? He has to reject me in order to marry me" I asked curiously. "I know. And you don't know how much I thought about it. But, when I went back to training, Alpha Bennett talked to me" he said, leaving me surprised. "What?""Apparently there's a way to break the mate bond without you dying or him losing the title. But only he knows that
From Lucas's point of viewWhat had happened to Hester? Where could she be? I walked in circles all damn night hoping to find her. However, when I finally got through to her, she sounded dazed, as if something bad had happened. "Did you talk to her?" my mother suddenly asked. "Yes, she... She spent the night with some friends. She'll be back soon" I said, lying. My mother sighed in relief and went back to her room. After all, we'd been up all morning waiting for Hester. I really wanted to talk to Hester alone when she got home. She didn't sound good on the phone, which set off an alarm in me. Thinking about it, I heard a car parked in front of the house. I quickly ran to the window and saw her get out of the car. I opened the door and waited for her, but, as soon as she looked at me, I was wide-eyed. Her eyes were puffy and her dress was wet. "Hester, what happened to you?" I asked, swallowing spittle.Her small body began to tremble as she took a deep breath "I just spent
I wiped the handkerchief across her cheek and wiped them away. She froze for a second, until something brought her back to herself and she snatched the handkerchief from my hand."What are you doing?" "I dry your tears" I answered. "What for? Who cares what I look like? The only one I cared that saw me, doesn't care about me. He only saw me with eyes of lust" she added turning her face red again."Leave that man" I hinted. She let out a bitter smile and threw the handkerchief to the ground "I know he doesn't love me, nor does he care about our bond. But I don't plan to destroy him, I'll just walk away and get my life together. You can leave me alone" she hinted sure of her words.She tried to turn to walk away, but a smirk peeked at my lips "Do you really think Alpha Bennett will let you go so easily? He won't stop. He'll find you and lock you up. Only I can get you out of his malicious clutches"She looked at me without saying anything. She just smiled curtly and walked off into t
How could I live now without Bennett? I had fallen completely in love with the man. Suddenly, all the memories of him came to my mind. His face, his body, the way I thought he treated me out of love.... It was all a lie. I had deluded myself into something that didn't exist. He was the alpha Bennett, a man without heart or mercy. Everyone was right: Bennett was cruel. However, as those thoughts entered my head, I felt my eyes sparkle strangely. "Stop the car!" I shouted.Despite that, however, Walter looked at me and continued driving. "Stop the damn car!" I shouted loudly.At that, Walter slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in a corner of the road.Without saying anything, I opened the door and tried to get out, but, just before I put my legs out, I felt Walter grab my arm. "Where are you going?” he asked as he approached me "This place is dangerous" he said as he approached me. I felt his breath hit my face, but I didn't push him away; rather I looked him in the eyes
