I need your help

2024-10-18 17:04:12"I do know you." His voice sharp as a blade cut off her sentence before she could complete it.
Arrogant bastard. She thought. But it did nothing to calm the storm she was facing, not in the slightest.
"What I am more interested in is why you are here." He said.
"Mr Michaelson, she claims that she have a 3:30 meeting with you," the receptionist said. Her voice seems to have changed, she was doing all she could to sound sexy and attractive, perhaps trying to get Xavier's attention at all cause, but in reality the sound of her voice was annoying.
Annette had to stop herself from making a comment.
Xavier gave a silent nod, not looking away from Annette.
"Please, I need your help.. For James."
She finally said it. She could feel the gaze of the receptionist on her as she waited for his reply. The receptionist gave Annette a once over, sizing her up, and Annette gave her a dead stare in return. Annette was a woman who had curves in all the right places. She was provoke to run her hands all over her hips. That is right darling. So mind your fucking business.
"James? What had he done?" Xavier asked while lifting his eyebrows as if to add "this time around" or "now" to end the sentence.
Her cousin, turning nineteen years likes to get into a lot of trouble and a decade was not a long time to forget about it.
Feeling nervous, Annette started to fidget as she shifted from foot to foot unable to control herself as she took a quick look at the group that enclosed them.
"I would really appreciate it if this could be done somewhere else, perhaps in a more private place if that is okay with you?"
His expression hardened a little but after a short moment he gave a brief nod.
"Sofia, reschedule my 3:30 for next week. It will do Donovan some good to wait a little.
He addressed the receptionist as he turned, waving for Annette to follow him.
Annette had to fight the fury she felt at the arrogant gesture displayed by Xavier. Simply because he needed his help. She could not get angry now, or display any other feelings about Xavier Michaelson, but to be thankful that he wants to hear what she has to say.
"Yes, Mr Michaelson", the receptionist replied ignoring Annette as they both followed Xavier to the lift.
"Is there any other matter that requires my attention?"
Both the receptionist and Xavier spent about two minutes discussing business related matters before he excused himself, stepping to the side to allow Annette board the elevator next to him.
The receptionist's expression showed astonishment and irritation as she was not asked to join them in the elevator. Annette had to conceal a smile.
So sorry bitch, your journey ends here.
All she wanted to do was stick her tongue out at the receptionist.
Xavier continue his conversation with the men. They were all werewolves, meanwhile, Annette simply stood at the corner of the elevator. She believes that the discussion was regarding pack issues and it had nothing to do with her so she did not pay attention.
She studied the elevator she was in, and just let every part of this building, the elevator was slick and elegant with mirrors at every corner. She stood at the back of the elevator trying to make herself small as possible. A calming melody played at the background but it did nothing to stop Annette's racing heart, she could feel his gaze on her through the mirror, and she tried not to let it get to her
The elevator eventually reached it destination and the door slide open. Xavier, ignoring the werewolves around him turned to her with an unreasonable look on his face said to her,
"Come, join me in the office."
And that is exactly what she did, she followed him to his office.

He might as well be leading her to the lion's den.Xavier thought as he stepped to the side, making room for Annette to leave the elevator ahead of him.He was in shock when he spotted Annette McKinney in the lobby today, she was the last person he was expecting to see.She stepped out of the lift, giving him a small nod of the head and walked past him. Xavier took the opportunity to study her; he swept his gaze over her body while she wasn't paying attention. And damn, she was no longer the little girl he once knew; she had grown into a beautiful woman and a hot one at that. Her once slender figure has developed into an irresistible hourglass figure, taking the look of a seductress that can bring any man to his knees. She had her hair in a ponytail; the length of her hair reached her ass. She had on a simple dress that gave a perfect outline of her curves but not too much. She looks like a seductress without even trying. She was absolutely gorgeous. As he studied her, a feeling sw

"Then things did not go as planned?" He was already predicting what happened next. She nodded in affirmation, her face turning white. He had to fight the urge to walk towards her and comfort her. He walked to the bar on the left side of his office to fix himself a drink. He turned to her when he heard her voice."Yes, that is what happened per say," she said, running her left hand over her neck. The movement is so innocent yet sensual."What did James do?" he asked, moving to the front of the desk and leaning against it while taking a sip from his glass.Her lips quiver as if she were in pain. "James was not doing the business he had said he was. He took money from some of his friends and gambled it in hopes of earning more, but he lost all the money. Now his so-called friends want their money back as well as the people he lost to if not-""Friends? Does he know this his so called friends personal? Where did he meet them?" Sometimes the people you view as friends do not see you the

Baffled. To say Annette was shocked would be an understatement.This was far from what she had anticipated or even dreamed of. She had thought possibly that he would give her some money and they would work out a payment strategy over a stipulated period of time, and she would have to get different jobs and work for hours in order to meet up with the payment.Hell, he would have proposed that she work for him and keep doing so until her debt has been paid, and it would have been worth it for her brother, for James. But not this, not what he was proposing. Annette had never imagined in a million years that Xavier Michaelson would demand that of her. Demand for her body. Demand to have sex with her as a means to pay her debt.But the question was, will she be able to do it? Have sex with a man to save her brother.But Xavier was not just any man. They go way back, to when they were younger, teenagers, and they had been friends. She thought of the possibility of Xavier having feelings

But she could not let that happen; let James die when she can do something to prevent that from happening. And she would have to sleep with Xavier to achieve it. The notion of sex with Xavier- the thought alone made her heart race. He was an attractive man; sex with him would not be so bad. Moreover, men of his status get tired of women quickly. Surely he will get tired of her soon; this was not going to last for long."I accept." Her voice was low, barely a whisper, but she knew he had heard her; he was a werewolf after all.She could see that arrogant smirk on his face, as if he already knew that she was going to say yes. Fuck. How was she going to do it? How was she going to meet up with his expectations? Satisfy him. She had never been with a werewolf before and had no idea what he liked.She decided to come clean because she did not want him to think that she played him."Xavier, I just want to put it out there by saying that I am n-not," her voice cracked before she could comp

They left the office and walked towards the elevator and boarded it. Annette assumed he was taking her back to the lobby, but imagine her surprise when Xavier presses 'P' instead of 'L' of the lift buttons after the door of the elevator closes.She shot him a confused look but kept her month shut. She did not want to annoy him, before he changed his mind and decided not to help James anymore. It took them to the top floor of the building, and the lift door slid open.He stepped out of the elevator ahead of Annette and waited for her to join him. She steps into what appears to be a receiving room.Her eyes widened as she took in the lavish decor of the room."This is my penthouse," Xavier informed her, while stepping forward into the room.This pales in comparison to what she saw in the lobby downstairs. From the luxurious fluffy carpets covering the floor to the gray and white decorations that match the dark wood furniture."Do you live here?" She asked him, moving further into the

The hell. Who does this bitch think she is? Annette was in shock; she loves her curve very much, and she was not ashamed of how she looks.Xavier gave Sofia a dead stare; his face was expressionless. Blank. But Annette could visibly see the muscles in his jaw tightening."Down this corridor, four doors by your right; make yourself comfortable, " he said, turning to Annette. "I would like to have a word with you, Sofia." He said walking past Annette with Sofia not too far behind.Annette stood in the sitting room for a moment trying to process what just happened. She knew that she should mind her business and not get herself involved in whatever is going on and follow Xavier's instructions, but curiosity got the better of her, and she found herself silently trailing behind them. Could Xavier be fucking his receptionist? Gods, if that is the case, she would have to get her eyes watched. The thought alone made her feel nauseous. She knew that some bosses mess around with their recept

Annette walked back to the setting room, heading to the receiving room. The door to the lift was closed, and the light above showed it was moving downward. She could not find any keypad on the elevator; there was no fingerprint scanner. That means the elevator can only be accessed by card. There was no way out of this apartment. Shit.She ran her fingers down her face in frustration. Damn. She decided to explore the apartment since Xavier had not said anything was off limits, so she did not see anything wrong with snooping around a little. She returned to the living room: instead of taking the door leading to the hall, she took another door and walked into what appeared to be a large and luxurious kitchen.It was equipped with white cupboards and granite countertops. Luxurious appliances and stainless steel pots and pans were hung up on the wall. The island in the middle of the room was stunning; bar tools lined each side. Stepping out of the kitchen and into the sitting room. The

Annette jerked awake. Something had woken her up; it was the sound of breaking glass and growling. The sound was loud and intense. She sat upright on the bed, pushing her hair away from her face. The room was bathed in darkness; the moonlight shimmering in through the window was the only source of light in the room. The sun had long set. She had only wanted to take a nap after the messed up day she had.She must have fallen asleep. How long has she been asleep for?"Motherfuckers."She heard someone cursing. It seems to have come from one of the rooms down the hall. Who was it? Was it Xavier? Was he back? He sounded furious and annoyed with something. Annette thought was racing as she slipped from the bed and pushed to her feet. Leaving the room, she walked down the hall; her bare feet made no sound as they came into contact with the thick plush carpeted floor as she went in search for the origin of the sound.As she walked down the hall, she realized that the noise was coming from

As she observed the battle, an elf lunged at Xavier with a blade from the back.Annette flinched in fright and called out to him in warning. Xavier twisted with lightning speed, sidestepping the elf. He moved faster than she expected, which surprised her. He rose from the ground, balancing on his legs, his paws stretching outward as his claws tore through the elf's abdomen.Blood spraying all around them and pulling at his feet. He lunged forward, his fangs sinking into the elf's neck, ripping his head from his neck in a single motion.His fur was soaked with blood, his fangs were red with blood dripping down his mouth and running down his jaw and neck.Annette felt her face drain of all colour; a wave of nausea surged up her throat at the brutal and violent act.She watched as the life drained from people in front of her. She stood frozen as death was unfolding right in front of her."Oh God," she whispered in sheer horror. The steps and streets below were bathed in blood. The were

Annette walked out of the building housing her cousin's studio, and she instantly felt a shiver coursing through her.Annette immediately grasped the gravity of her situation. She realized that she was in danger.Alarm bells went off in her mind, and she felt a rush of fear running through her body, and every fiber of her being urged her to escape."Come on, guys, take a look at what we have here." Said a deep male voice mockingly, and Annette cautiously turned to face them. She found herself enclosed by what resembled a group of bad-looking guys who kept throwing lustful glances at her. Their skin was pale and dirty, like they had been on the street for quite some time and hadn't taken proper care of themselves or had a bath in months. They had high cheekbones, a sharp jawline and delicate nose. Their hair was of different styles which looked dirty and unkempt, adorned in various bright, luminous hair colours.They were tall and lean with an athletic body and pointed ears. They were

This had caused an uproar in werewolf society, but no one was powerful enough to challenge it. When Xavier became alpha, he abolished those vile policies.But Xavier’s efforts to persuade his father had fallen on unresponsive ears.Had things been different, if his father had relaxed that single rule, Xavier would have never let Richard's marriage to Annette’s auntie stand in his way.He would have marched right into the guest house on the Michaelson estate where they had lived out of concern for their safety and made her his mate, bonded with her as his mate.Did she realize how many full moon nights he had spent watching over them, ensuring the rest of the pack didn’t approach but kept their distance?Fuck, the things he instinctively does for her.The guards filtered out as his phone went off.

Find mate. Find mate.His wolf had been agitated all morning, pacing and snarling in his thoughts, which had frustrated him since he couldn’t understand why, but the news after his meeting brought everything into focus.His mate was nowhere to be found.Xavier shot a displeased look at his subordinate; his anger was simmering past the point of control."You’re telling me a single human woman outsmarted you?" He snapped at the bunch of idiots standing before him.He was enraged and made no attempt to conceal it, his voice reverberating throughout the grand reception area of the Michaelson building.He had come back from another important meeting with a client to find the security team bustling all around the premises, and one of them had stepped into his office to inform him that Annette was missing. Annette had succeeded in outsmarting them all. Bloody fools."Yes, Alpha. We can't find her; we checked the entire building." Damien, the one he’d entrusted with the responsibility, kept h

The next item was a jacket, which she took from a hanger and threw on over her dress.Just before reaching the white door labeled 'restroom', her eyes landed on a wide-brimmed hat. She plucked it off a mannequin and set it on her head, altering her appearance.Perfect.She needed to move quickly before the werewolf bodyguard realized she was gone.She pushed into the ladies restroom and hurried to the last stall, throwing the door wide open.Her eyes fixed on the narrow window above the toilet seat, calculating if it was large enough for her to pass through.Placing her feet on the closed toilet lid, she pushed herself upward and maneuvered her body through the window.It was a tight squeeze, but she made it through. The ground below wasn't far, and she jumped down with ease.Landing on the floor outside the boutique building, she scanned the surroundings and realized it was an alleyway between the boutique and a restaurant. She quickly stepped out and found herself on another street

Benny asked the stoic figure and expressionless bodyguard as he tried to lift two boxes at once, and the bodyguard moved to join him.The werewolf bodyguard had been assigned by Xavier to follow her around. Annette wasn't sure of Xavier's intention with the bodyguard; was he to protect her or to keep her from leaving? She could have sworn it was the latter because the bodyguard was literally breathing down her neck and refused to let her out of his sight.The bodyguard moved to assist Benny, and Annette stayed back to observe. She watched as the huge, intimidating bodyguard load the boxes of files into the car. The guard leane

His wolf growled in approval.He placed his left hand on the counter, just beside her hips, to steady himself. His right hand moved to grip her waist as he worked his cock in and out of her. He threw his head back and shut his eyes from the intense pleasure of being inside her. She moaned, her fingers reaching out to him, and gripped his hand that was placed on her hips to ground herself as he pulled his cock out of her nearly all the way and thrust back in. Her body trembled, her lips parted as she struggled to catch her breath.Fuck. She was beautiful. The sight of her, spread out before him like an offering, was overwhelming, mind-blowing.He soon sped up the pace, thrusting into her in a quick and hard succession. His balls slapping against her ass as he drove into her, thrusting into her pussy hard and fast. A whimper escaped her parted lips, her fingers digging into his hand on her hips, and he growled, not from pain but pleasure. His movement was swift and slick, her pussy ge

But instead, she had shopped for food preparation equipment and baking supplies. Not only that, but he had found her working in his kitchen.She had someone send over boxes filled with invoices and taxes from her shop. Annette had turned his luxurious and sophisticated kitchen into her workstation.She signed in exasperation at him. "Nothing serious, just sorting and arranging of the document; the audit exercise is taking place very soon. Once I'm done, Benny from the shop is coming here to take it back to the shop."She was seriously working. Xavier was taken aback, shaking his head in reluctant approval.Rather than idly sitting around, she navigated his rules and found a way to get what she wanted.'Relentless and unweaving, she would be a perfect match for an alpha.' his wolf muttered within his mind.The fuck. Not going to happen.His wolf constantly seizes every possible chance to plant the thought of Annette being his mate in his mind.He dangled the file just beyond reach."
Solace In The Alpha's Embrace Eerie silence
The elevator arrived at the top floor, chiming as the door slid open. Stepping out of the elevator and into the receiving room, Xavier was met with an eerie silence.A stillness that left him puzzled. Where was she? Where is Annette? Is she taking a nap? Those questions filtered through his thoughts. As he moved further into the space, heading toward the living room, the faint sounds of paper turning caught his attention.Though the room was quiet, his sharp werewolf hearing allowed him to catch the softest of noise.He stepped into the living room, only to find it empty, with no trace of the curvy figures he was searching for.He crossed the brief distance between the living room and the kitchen, stopping at the doorway to take in the scene. He was expecting to see the usual serenity of the kitchen, where the faint smell of coffee filled the air and bright light from the luxurious chandelier reflected on the sleek surface of the countertop and marble floor.His kitchen was spacious
