Alexander’s POV "F*ck!" I swore, jumping to my feet and searching for my towel to cover myself. "Where did the damn thing go? I swear it was right here!"Emily chuckled and scrambled to her feet, grabbing the sheet from the bed to cover herself. Her face was flustered, and her eyes were huge; she wasn't sure what to do.Footsteps enter the foyer, and the door closes a second later.Both of us froze, listening."Alpha?" Luke's voice filled the department-I had forgotten that I had given him a key. It was only for emergencies."Wait here," I said, picking up my boxers from the floor and pulling them on. "I'll go find out what he wants," I said.Emily bit her lips and nodded, and it spiked another round of lust inside me. I wanted to suck and nibble on her pink, juicy lips of hers and was now contemplating just going to her and ignoring Luke, yet I knew it wasn't that easy. If I ignored him, he would eventually barge in, and from the look on Emily's face, she wasn't ready to reveal her
Alexander’s POV Meetings. Just the thought of attending them made me nauseous. I hated them, and I hated them even more when I had them with the council. It felt like a never-ending story, and everyone wanted a turn to talk and give their ten cents. I sighed under my breath and pulled my body up straight. My back was hurting, my ass was numb, and my neck was cramping. Who bought these dumb, uncomfortable chairs in the first place? "You did," Ghost muttered. He was just as annoyed as I was. "You changed the seating to ensure the meetings didn't take long." "Well, it isn't working, is it!? I growled. "No!" He snapped. "It's as if it helps to prolong the f*cking meeting!" He was right. The council was discussing everything except the reason I was called, and my mind had wandered in all directions, not listening to a word they were saying. I had better things to do than sit here and listen to other things. At that moment, nothing except my mate was more important. My gaze moved
Emily's POV As soon as Alex left, I came to my senses. It was as if his scent and body had compelled me, and now that he was out of the room, I was able to think more clearly. "What the f*ck did just happen?" I muttered under my breath. "How could I let it get so out of hand?" I pinched the bridge of my nose, closing my eyes. But the scenes of our lustful foreplay flashed before my eyes, soaking my panties. Oh Goddess, where the hell did all that come from? Hell, I even had his c*ck between my breasts! My face heated, and I suddenly couldn't breathe. I felt so embarrassed. What will Alex think of me? I have never done something like that—not even imagined doing such a thing! I just could not believe how crazy it was. That wasn't me, was it? Could it be? Was that one of my deepest desires? I sighed hopelessly and shivered. My hands move to my lips. I enjoyed his touch. I enjoyed how his fingers moved over my body, magically leaving cold trails over my naked, hot body. "
Emily's POV The door opened before I could hide, and an unnerving chill ran down my spine, revealing a she-wolf. There was something familiar about this she-wolf, yet I could put my finger on it. The same unnerving feeling of her being dangerous pushed up inside me. I was sure that underneath all that beautiful skin, she was cold and wicked. "Alex darling," she called, her voice pitchy, as she entered the office. "I came to apologize. It was wrong of me to threaten you like that! Can we please talk about it? I can't bear to lose you." The woman's gaze scanned Alex's office in search of him but instead landed on me. She froze, blinking a couple of times, frowning as if what she was seeing wasn't there a second ago, and her beautiful face turned into a scowl. "Isn't that the same she-wolf from the club?" Willow asked. "What is her name again?" I internally growled, feeling my blood heating up in my veins. This was the same she-wolf everyone thought Alex took as a mate. "Angel
Alexander’s POV I left for my quarters, running up the stairs three steps at a time—the perk of having long legs. I refused to take the lift, believing it would waste time. Adrenaline and excitement filled my insides and spilled over. The council gave me an hour to attend to my small issue—just enough time to help Emily out of her predicament. "Goddess," I mumbled. "I hope I wasn't too late! I don't like Emily being in pain." I passed a couple of curious gazes, seeing me rushing down the hallway. The omegas were done with their daily tasks: cleaning the rank wolf rooms and returning to their duties in the kitchen. They weren't allowed in my quarters unsupervised. It wasn't because I didn't trust them to do their chores. It was because I didn't want anyone to enter Emily's room without permission. Once a week, Luke would bring a group of five omegas to my quarters, watching them as she tidied up the place. Emily's scent hit my nose, and my heartbeat escalated. I was almost the
Emily's POV "What the hell are you doing in here?" Alex roared, his stormy gray eyes hard and full of anger. I took an unwilling step back, unsure what to do. I didn't know that he would feel so possessive and angry about me being in his office. "I-" I stuttered nervously. I knew I had disobeyed him, but I just couldn't ignore Lex and not say goodbye to him. He is my son, and I needed to see him. I already felt that I had neglected him by leaving him in Mila's care. "I asked her the same question!" Angelica said, getting to her feet with a sinister smile plastered on her lips. She looked at me with disgust as she walked toward Alex. "You should call the guards and have this worthless girl arrested. She used your office as a meet-and-greet area for her family," Angelica continued. "Who does that? And that in an Alpha’s office? She looks more like a scullery maid than a pack warrior. You should check her pockets; she might have stolen some pack secrets while here. It is a good th
Emily's POV I was in heat for three freaking days. Three days! I wasn't impressed, but it seemed to be over now. Alex stayed with me, locking the door to ensure no one could enter unexpectedly. He made sure to feed me, and Julie was our chef. I licked my lips, thinking of all the beautiful and delicious food she had made for us. Now that my heat is over, I can focus and think more clearly. I sighed. Something was still occupying Alex's attention. He even sneaked off in the early hours last night, and I was pondering whether to ask him what was going on. During my heat, Alex refused to go all the way and mate with me. It surprised me; I was then certain that something was bothering him. My thoughts raced back to that evening. Alex had carried me back to his quarters and sat me on my bed. If I had my way, I would have had him f*ck me in his office, but Alex had other ideas. He smiled down at me as he helped me out of my shirt and pants. Then he squatted to my level, taking b
Alexander’s POV I was testing the waters, and I was about to rock the boat hard. I wanted to see Emily's reaction when she found out about my knowing about Lex. I already concluded that Lex was my son and the future Alpha of this pack, but I needed to hear it from Emily herself. Luke caught me going through some old pack files in my office the night before. I couldn't sleep until I had proof, and my thoughts wandered off too early this morning. "Don't you bloody knock?" I growled at him, startled, and grabbed my chest. I was so focused on what I was doing that I didn't hear Luke enter my office. The next moment, he stood next to me like a phantom from the night. "Not when my Alpha is digging in the archives in the middle of the night while his mate is soundly sleeping upstairs," he said, rolling his eyes. "What are you looking for? Maybe I could be of some assistance." That was the question that has been bugging me throughout the whole process—what was I looking for? I wasn't
