Episode 25He pulled away from me immediately with so much force like I had a flu he didn’t want to contact.“This can’t happen.” His eyes burned with regret, I felt something sting in my chest.ʏᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ᴀʟʀɪɢʜᴛ, ɪᴛ’s ᴀʟʀɪɢʜᴛ.“I don’t—“ my eyes found his, if I wasn’t strong enough, I would have fallen because I could feel my legs shake. “I don’t understand.”“Nothing can ever happen between us, Ryan. Nothing.” His words were like sharp edged ice, there were no emotions in his eyes as they escaped his lips. Embarrassment filled my body making it to shudder. I took in a deep breath. “You’re right, this was a mistake.” “Good.” He composed himself and put his shirt back on. “One that should never happen again.”He walked out of the room and banged the door shut leaving me to the void and emptiness.I walked to the bed and sat there, my thighs still trembling from the rejection.Aiden has been talking dirty with me all week and has been trying to get me to be with him, now he’s bailing ou
Episode 26 RYAN “Well, I have a fashion company in New York, if that counts for anything.” I let out a small laugh and the man infront of me did too.“My sister has always wanted one.” He said surprisingly, I never thought I had a weakness until now, Italian accent was mine.“Why hasn’t she gone into into it yet?” I asked Nico and he sighed.“My parents would never let that happen, they said...” I forced a little laugh before completely zoning out, this date was supposed to take my mind off Aiden, at least for tonight but it wasn’t working.I had no feelings for him, it was just plain lust and the fact that he was my mate didn’t make things better.We were just naturally attracted to each other because we were mates, nothing more.“—and she cried that night.” He laughed to something he said and I had to laugh as well, he didn’t need to know I wasn’t listening, right?I felt a familiar presence in the atmosphere but I ignored it, I was just being paranoid.A hand banged on the ta
Episode 27RyanIt’s been been two days and 5 hours, the memory of what happened to Nico still fresh in my head.Same words kept spiraling in my head over and over again.ᴀɪᴅᴇɴ ɪs ᴀ ᴍᴏɴsᴛᴇʀᴀɪᴅᴇɴ ɪs ᴀ ᴍᴏɴsᴛᴇʀᴀɪᴅᴇɴ ɪs ᴀ ᴍᴏɴsᴛᴇʀTears filled up in my eyes all over again, this wasn’t what I’d envisioned this trip to be.I hated that tiny part of me that kept trying to see the side of him, the part of me that couldn’t bring itself to hate himThe part of me that I wanted to rip apart and stomp on out of disgust.My Heart.I took in a deep breath and focused on my laptop and on the documents I was writing, Aiden and I haven’t seen each other since that night but we had a joint meeting tomorrow and this document was essential for it, I wasn’t mentally prepared to face him again but I had no choice.The door opened behind me but I didn’t bother turning back, it probably was the personal cook Aiden hired.“You can drop take it back, I’m not hungry.” My focus was still on my laptop, I haven’t

Episode 29Ryan I stared on the ground to avoid Aiden’s gaze, my stomach rumbled and he must have noticed he noticed because he stretched hand to the fruits on the table and handed them over to me before standing up.“You should stay away from me, Ryan.” His voice was stern this time like he was begging me to stay away. “Life isn’t the fairytale you were told when you were young.” My nightmares flashed back through my head.ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ɪɴ ᴍʏ ʜᴀɴᴅs, ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ɪɴ ᴍʏ ᴇʏᴇs, ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏᴡʜᴇʀᴇI took in a deep breath to calm myself down, I could feel my heart beat going abnormal again. “How would you know that my childhood was based on a fairytale?” The beep from my watch jerked me up a bit, I had forgotten it was even there because it has been quiet for days.My hand kept going to my watch that was already blinking red, his eyes hovered around my watch curiously and back to my face.Something flashed through his face, he tried to understand the meaning to my question. “Wasn’t it?” Deep breath,Rya
Episode 30Aiden “How—“ her eyes searched through her watch and back at me. “How did you know?” “Know what?” I lead her outside the hotel door and towards the exit “Oh, never mind.” She looked unsure but she kept stealing side glances at me till we were inside the black Mercedes Benz and the driver put on the engine.I understood her question, I just decided to pretend I didn’t.After I saw Ryan checking her watch when I spoke about her young age, I knew something was wrong so I asked Queen to make some research.She found out that Ryan visited a doctor who gave her a watch to monitor her heart rate due to trauma from the kidnapping.I knew there were some other details but the doctor didn’t say and Queen didn’t push it.I asked her to connect my phone to Ryan’s heart beat so I’d be able to monitor it from my phone.I knew Ryan would look good in the outfit but I didn’t know she’d look so freaking sexy.This was the reason I came to Italy, it wasn’t for business, it was for persona
Episode 31Aiden“Why are you so confident your plan would work?” Rhys asked as he tangled his gold ring on his finger.“Leave that to me.” My response was swift, We had gone to his office to finish the conversation. Rhys knew I wanted to take over the werewolf world and he wanted to strike a deal with me, in exchange for some documents and information, I’ll leave his empire out of my destruction zone.My phone pinged and I wanted to ignore it until I was done with the meeting but something in me prompted me to check it.I brought my phone out and my heart sank in my chest at what was on my screen. Ryan’s heart rate was going over the edge.Was she in danger?“Alright, we have a deal then?” He brought out his hand and I stood up from the chair.My eyes went from his hand and back to his face. “Deal.” I said hurriedly before rushing out from his office without shaking him, the only thing on my mind was Ryan.My eyes scanned through the room with so much intensity as I closed Rhys’ off
Episode 32 RyanAiden went back into the hall we just left, something inside screamed at me to ask where he was going but another part of me already knew and didn’t want to stop him.Someone once said everyone has a bad side that we try to hide and avoid, the speaker couldn’t be more right.Chills filled my body and I regretted wearing the dress because it was mostly open and there was nothing to guide me from the harsh cold.“Are you alright, Ma’am?” The driver Aiden had left me with asked, his tone worried and scared, he looked at me from the mirror at the car roof.“Yes, just cold.” I folded my fists together and began to rub them together to provide heat.The driver clicked on some buttons in the car and immediately the car tinted glass was up, a rush of anxiety filled my veins to the ideology that anything bad could happen right now and no one would be able to save me.My watch didn’t beep but it showed that my heart rate was increasing again, this can’t be all there is to m
