“Fuck!” Claire screams as he pukes out the last bit of his breakfast on her face, “You are so dead.” She runs out of the elevator, down the hallway, and Roy in confusion, follows after her, trying to apologize. He stands outside the ladies while she cleaned up, his face red with embarrassment. He straightens when the door opens and a very angry Claire stomps out. “You are so gross.” She seethes at him. What? How was he the gross when she was on her knees in the— The thought makes him gag again and this time, she jumps back so his vomit lands on the tiles. “You will not tell anyone what you saw.” “What? I didn’t even see anything.” Roy nods, desperately wanting to forget the nightmarish episode already. “Swear.” She screeches. “I cross my heart,” Roy mumbles, wiping his mouth with the back of his palm, wishing he had his water bottle with him. “I’ll kill you if this gets out.” She wags her fingers at his face when he finally raises his eyes to look at her. “God, I already sw
“Thank you.” Roy sniffs as he thanks Bryan Anderson’s chauffeur, stepping out of the limousine. Liam and Hailey are on the pavement, clearly intrigued.“Your eyes are red… Are you crying?” Hailey gasps looking at him.“Oooo…Hot ride huh.” Liam whistles, then belatedly add, “Sorry, I meant are you okay, Roy?”“Uhm—I’m okay,” He says, “I-uh-I just got sacked.” That wasn’t true but Roy has just made up his mind. He is going to tender his resignation tomorrow. He doesn’t think he can work another day at Anderson Inc. after what happened. He’ll always remember what a jerk the CEO itself was.He uses the sleeve of his jacket to wipe his tears off while Liam stares at him with pity.“But what happened though?” he asks, “How could you get sacked on your freaking first day?’“Because I’m gay?” Roy snaps and Liam mumbles an apology.“Come on in guys.” Hailey steps in, “let’s get shitfaced.”“No, we can’t. Hailey, you keep forgetting that you are now a mother.”“Don’t do that Roy.” She growls, “
Adrenaline pumps through his vein and instincts he never knew he has kicked in. Roy catches a glimpse of red eyes and pokes at them with his fingers. His attacker howls.It was a dog?—no, a wolf…a freaking werewolf. Roy gasps, absolutely sure of his conclusion.With shaky hands, Roy manages to pull out his pepper spray and he presses his thumb against the nozzle, once, twice, as many times as he can into the eyes of the wolf.The werewolf yelps, turning away as its body falls to the ground with a heavy thud.His phone vibrates against his pocket and he scrambles to answer it but gleaming silver claws swipe it away. Fuck! Another werewolf?The werewolf lunges at him again, swiping the pepper spray out of his hand before he could press the nozzle. Roy stares at the werewolf in dismay. Is this how his end would be?All of a sudden, a third werewolf howls, jumping out of the shadows, claws ripping into the chest of the brown werewolf in front of Roy. The claws are at least 2ft long, as sh
The next day, Roy reports to work in a lighter note, secretly daydreaming that Bryan would come to him in the lobby to publicly claim him but since he stepped foot into Anderson Inc., he hasn’t set his eyes on the CEO. He refrains from asking on his whereabouts from Kristine or she might read more into what she witnessed yesterday. No matter how much he wants Bryan to show him off, Roy doesn’t want to ruin his life because he remembers that Bryan said he was the Lycan Prince in his werewolf world and was next in line to the throne. Somehow, Roy is aware of how delicate the situation is if Bryan has to desperately hide his sexuality. From his tone, he could guess that coming out as gay in his werewolf world might be a threat to his ascension of the throne. Roy takes a deep breath and focuses back on the computer screen in front of him, responding to the mails, deciding to be patient enough. If Bryan promises to claim him in front of everyone on Monday, then he must have a plan. Ro
Roy’s eyes widen in shock on seeing Mr. Anderson blatantly flirting with the waitress and a lump forms in his throat. Biting back the rush of tears, Roy stiffens and straightens his back, walking out of the door but before he can take the next step, a hand clasps around his neck, holding him in place. Roy smells him before he hears him and the shock waves of arousal that slithers through him repulse him. “Let me go,” Roy snaps and tries to twist out of Bryan’s grip, momentarily forgetting that he was a Lycan. “Roy, listen…” he starts to say but Roy cuts him short. “I don’t know what games you are playing but please don’t make me a part of it,” his voice breaks, “Maybe you have a thing for fucking boys secretly, probably a…kink. It doesn’t make you gay, Mr. Anderson.” As quick as lightning, Bryan yanks him around and presses him against the wall at the backstreet next to the café, “Shut up and listen to me.” The fight instantly goes out of Roy’s body on seeing the blazing fire in
Roy's cheeks redden, wondering how the news got to Mr. Flake, his immediate boss. He’d been careful enough not to let anyone see him.Mr. Flake stands from the edge of Roy’s table where he propped against, “Bryan Anderson has never taken any interest in any worker below the 15th floor. Ever since I’ve been employed here, I haven’t met him face to face. Why is he suddenly asking for your file?”Roy swallows, unable to answer.“Don’t think about denying it because I saw you at the Coffee shop next to the company.” He snaps, straightening his shoulders so he towers over Roy. He was clearly trying to intimidate him.“Bry—I mean Mr. Anderson didn’t take me to lunch, sir.” Roy lies, blushing furiously, “I-I…uh…spilled coffee on him when I went to grab a burger from the Café.”Mr. Flake narrows his eyes suspiciously, “That doesn’t explain why you sat at the same table with him or why he’s asking my secretary for your file!”“You know I’m the social media handler of this company,” Roy scratch
“Where have you been?” Hailey bolts off the sofa at the sound of the door opening and flies into Roy’s arms, “I was worried sick that something happened to you.” Roy smiles shakily at his family and hugs Hailey tighter, “I’m so sorry for how I treated you after you had baby. It was so insensitive. I didn’t understand how it felt…what you were going through.” Hailey’s face clouds and she pulls away from Roy, “I don’t want to talk about that.” Liam sends him a puzzled look as he strolls into the room with Hailey. “Where did you get the tie, Roy?’ Twin red spots appear on his face and he looks away, “my boss, Mr. Flake wanted me to dress up properly so he gave him his spare tie.” That was a lie. He took the tie he saw on the seat of Bryan’s Limo, to cover the marks he knew would be on his neck in order to avoid suspicion from Liam. Hailey rolls her eyes, “What exactly is their problem at Anderson fucking Inc.?” Roy shrugs and takes a slice from the leftover pizza on the ottoman. “I
The bar is loud and hectic, full of horny men out to get trashed. Angelo, A friend they’d made at the bar joins them. He usually hangs out with his boyfriend but today he was alone. Angelo is hot with a cowlick that always falls over his brow and clearly worked out from the muscles straining beneath his lightweight shirt but he doesn’t hold a candle to Bryan Anderson who is a walking sex-on-legs.’ Roy flushes at the dark path his thoughts were taking. “Why is Zac not with you?” Hailey yells over the bellowing male voices and Angelo shrugs carelessly, “We broke up.” They are shocked to find him blasé as he and Zac were mostly inseparable but Roy, Liam, and Hailey don’t push it. Since Angelo is in the mood to party, he gets them into the spirit by buying a pitcher of margaritas for them all. As Roy is down his fifth, he knows this is not a good idea on top of the shitty day he had. “So what are you doing now, Roy?” Angelo shouts at him over the noise. “Well, Liam got me a job in a
