I didn't know why I was awake so early. It wasn't even seven o'clock yet, but I was sitting at my kitchen table, staring at my phone, trying to figure out why I was feeling anxious.

Then it hit me. It was Mr. Wolfe's birthday.

I looked back at the time, my stomach in knots. Because of his injury, he's stuck at home, probably alone.

The thought made me feel uncomfortable. As much as it bothered me, I couldn't imagine anyone spending their birthday in bed, recovering.

I sighed, shaking my head. I owe him nothing.

But still... Before I knew it, I was out the door, heading for his apartment.

When I arrived, it was quiet. Mr. Wolfe was still sleeping. I went inside, putting the bags I had brought on the counter.

The first floor was cold and empty, as usual. Clean furniture and fresh surfaces make the space feel less like a home and more like a museum.

I didn't think it was appropriate for a birthday. So I got to work. I decorated the living room with simple ribbons and balloons, no

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   Heat

    For the past few days, one way or the other, I had been avoiding going to Mr. Wolfe's house.I had begun by making excuses. However, they were just mental, and he didn't believe them. "Can't you just come over to my place today?" He would ask. He was quite sharp. I could see it in his eyes."Who you work for, do I need to remind you?" his voice was still close in tone, even though clipped."No!" I hurriedly replied, trying to control my voice. “Well, I respect that the deal is temporary. Remember it? You’re almost healed. You are good to go now.”We didn’t argue, but he gave me a look of a tiger staring down a herd of cows. It was clear he wasn't pleased.So still, I did pause to consider.Finally, just a week later, I returned back to my job in the office.The limping that he was slightly showing was almost undetectable, but he still walked like his usual self. Afterward, my mind was cleared of being able to say something back to him at the moment.I mistakenly thought so.The office

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   “Helping”

    This wasn’t my problem. I told myself that over and over, but it didn’t stop the worry gnawing at me.Mr. Wolfe wasn’t acting normal. He hadn’t looked like himself since the incident with the omega at work. His face had been flushed, his breathing uneven. He barely lasted through the day before locking himself in his office.I wanted to help.And I knew exactly how.I hesitated before scrolling through my contacts. I didn’t have her number, but I knew someone who did. One of Tristan’s old omega bed partners. If he needed someone, I could find them.I wasn’t an omega. I couldn’t help him in that way.My thumb hovered over the screen.Before I could press the call button, the door behind me slammed shut.I turned just as Mr.Wolfe strode toward me, his eyes dark and intense.“Sir—”He grabbed me.His hands gripped my arms, pulling me up from my chair before I could react. I barely had time to register what was happening before his lips crashed against mine.Shock froze me in place.His l

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   Regrets

    I lay on the couch, my body bare, my skin still tingling from his touch.Mr.Wolfe’s arms were wrapped around me, his warmth pressing into my back. His breathing was slow, steady, completely at ease.For a moment, I didn’t move.I just lay there, feeling it.The heat of his body. The strength of his arms. The way his fingers lazily traced circles on my hip, like he didn’t want to let go. My cheeks warmed up, especially realizing that Tristan was doing this while being asleep.My chest tightened.I felt…happy.It was terrifying how natural it felt, being in his arms like this.Then reality crashed in.My breath caught. My heart pounded.What had I done?I was naked. In Mr.Wolfe’s office. In his arms.My boss.I squeezed my eyes shut, my hands trembling against the sheets.This was a mistake. A terrible, irreversible mistake.I had broken my own rules. I had let him have me.And worst of all…I had wanted it.I dressed quickly, my hands shaking.My heart was still racing, my lips swollen

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   Ignored

    Ignored.Mr. Wolfe was ignoring me.Not in any way subtle. Not in a way that could be confused with simply being too busy. It was on purpose.At first, I thought I might be imagining things. He might just be overwhelmed with work after all, or maybe I had missed some important point. Or, perhaps, he needed some space and time. But as days passed, it was self-evident.He even deliberately ignored me.He wouldn't give me any tasks—instead, commissioning them to other people and often to those who would normally come to me unaccompanied. It was others who received reports I should have prepared. That department heads should have made their calls to me was also ignored.At first, I waited. I thought he might just ginger up a bit—then return to normal.He began to pretend not to see me at all.He would walk right past my desk and not so much as look. When I gave him schedules or reports, he would accept them without a word. If I asked questions, he answered shortly and without effect.I

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   Not an omega

    I trailed along behind Mr. Wolfe with my pullman, lugging it behind me in the airport.The flight had been long and I was tired. My shoulders ached from sitting too much, and I was eager for nothing else than to collapse onto a bed and sleep along time.The company put us up at a five-star hotel. They were being good to us. Inside the lobby, I gawked at the lofty ceilings that steeped in acclaim, the golden chandeliers, the marble floors. Everything was magnificent and powerful, just like Mr. Wolfe.At the front desk, the receptionist smiled at us courteously. “Welcome, Mr. Wolfe. Your reservation is ready.”“Two rooms?” I asked even before she had spoken another word.The receptionist hesitated. “Ah, I am so sorry. Unfortunately, sir, we have only one room available, a suite. Due to high demand, we have no standard rooms. But the suite is very spacious, has a double-size bed, a large living area. As for other amenities...”I immediately turned to Boss. “We have to find another hotel.

    I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be in this room, sitting across from Boss, feeling his eyes burn into me like a silent challenge. His face was unreadable, serious as always. But that was the problem. Serious men had always been my weakness. And he was the worst of them all. My mind flickered back to Lucas—my ex. He had worn the same serious expression the night he confessed to me. I still remembered the way he looked at me, his eyes dark with something deep, something heavy. “I want you,” he had said, his voice low and certain. And I had fallen. Just like that. Like an idiot. But Boss was different. His seriousness wasn’t careful or sweet. It was dangerous. It was possessive, consuming. Like he already knew I would give in. Like I was already his. And maybe I was. I clenched my fists, trying to ignore the heat rising in my chest. I should leave. I should say something professional, set boundaries, remind him that I was just his assistant. But I did

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   Punishment

    I balanced the coffee tray carefully in my hands, walking into the meeting room with steady steps. The air was really full with the scent of expensive cologne and sharp professionalism. Tristan stood at the head of the table, listening as one of the clients spoke. I kept my head down, focused on my task. This was routine. I had done it countless times before. Everything was fine. Until it wasn’t. As I turned to leave, someone bumped into me—hard. The tray wobbled. The coffee cups tipped. And before I could react, hot liquid splashed all over a client’s expensive suit. A terrible silence filled the room. I froze. My heart pounded. The client gasped, jerking back in his chair. “What the hell?!” I opened my mouth to apologize, but then I felt it. A piercing stare. I turned slightly, my stomach sinking. Tristan was looking at me. His expression was unreadable, but his dark eyes burned into mine. I swallowed hard. “I’m sorry,” I said quickly, grabbing napkin

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   New rules

    Three months. It was three months ago, now, since I'd let this happen. Since I'd let Tristan touch me, ravage me, consume me in ways that I'd never considered letting. Three months since we established the ground rules: no emotions, no attachment, just sex. And yet still, I couldn't help staring at him. He was leaning over the office, heavily discussing something with some business ass in a suit that was two sizes too small, but I wasn't listening. I wasn't even pretending to listen. Because Tristan was a fucking problem. Him, Tristan, in a tailored suit that clung to his beautifully sculpted physique, jacket fitting perfectly over expansive shoulders, tie slightly undone as if he'd tugged on it in exasperation beforehand. Sleeves rolled up, forearms bare, veins protruding on his skin as he gestured, dominating the room without making the slightest effort. And his face. Cold. Focused. Completely detached. That sentence—cold, impatient, a bit cruel—shouldn't have coiled my stoma

Clouding the waters between boss and. whatever.I should have known better.The way he leaned in a little too close when he spoke. The way his hand touched my wrist when he handed me something. The way his eyes stayed on me for a fraction of a second longer—hard, calculating, aware.I ignored it.Told myself I was seeing things.But Oliver wasn't subtle. He wasn't Tristan.Tristan, who had spent years building walls. Who had moved as if it would kill him to touch me. Who could fuck me wild one night and take calls I wasn’t allowed to hear the next morning.Oliver wasn't like that.Oliver wanted me to know.He made it plain in ways Tristan never did.It was the manner in which he brought me food to my desk before I even realized that I was hungry.

    Tristan’s POVThe coffee tasted like shit.I set the cup down with a sharp clink, fingers flexing against the desk. The bitterness sat on my tongue, too much and wrong. It wasn’t the coffee’s fault. Same brand. Same machine. Same cup.But it wasn’t the same.Nothing fucking was.I exhaled through my nose, glancing at the empty space outside the office. His desk was still there. His chair, his neatly stacked papers, even the damn pen he used to chew on when he thought I wasn’t looking.But no Dylan.No low muttering as he read through reports. No quick, sharp sighs of frustration when someone emailed him something stupid. No perfectly timed reminders before I even had to ask.Just silence.Over filling. Suffocating.I turned back to my screen, eyes scanning the report in front of me. I read the same line four times before realizing I wasn’t absorbing a single fucking word.Useless.The whole goddamn morning had been useless.Meetings I didn’t give a shit about.

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   A new beginning

    Dylan’s POVIt’s been two weeks away from Tristan…. Day one working for Oliver, and I’m doing fantastic.It had been two weeks since I quit. Two weeks since I walked out of Tristan Wolfe’s office without looking back—without giving him the chance to stop me.And maybe I was fucking stupid, but part of me still thought he would. That he’d call. That he’d show up. That he’d do something.But he didn’t.Not a text. Not a word. Not a single sign that he gave a shit I was gone.So, yeah. Fuck him.I’d moved on. Or at least—I was trying to.Day one working under Oliver was… weird. Not bad. Just—different.His office wasn’t as cold as Tristan’s. No sleek glass walls, no sterile, soulless vibe that made me feel like an intruder in my own fucking life. Instead, everything here felt warmer. More chaotic. Like the entire place ran on caffeine and vibes.People smiled. Smiled. Like, actual smiles—not those tense, fake-ass grimaces everyone wore around Tristan like he might snap their necks for br

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   Walking away

    Dylan’s POVThe second the words had left my lips—"I accept."—it was like the whole fucking room shifted.No going back. No pretending this had never happened.And Tristan? He didn't say a word.Not a single goddamn thing.But his face—fuck. If looks were deadly, I'd have been a pile of smoldering ash on the high-end marble. His jaw was so tight, I knew he was going to snap a tooth, and his fists—oh, those were curled up like he was about to shatter something. Or someone.Probably me.Good. Let him break the fuck out.Oliver, on the other hand, was the epitome of smug contentment. That sly smile—too easy, too smooth—spread at the corners of his mouth like he'd already got what he wanted. And perhaps he had. I mean, I agreed, didn't I?Fuck it.I spun on my heel, making a beeline for the door before my idiot, traitor heart could change its mind."Dylan."His low, slicing voice cut across the room, freezing me in my tracks.Of course. Of fucking course.I didn't turn around. I should ha

  • The Alpha In My Sheets   The decision that changes everything

    Dylan’s POVI should’ve said no.I wanted to say no.But standing there, caught between Tristan’s impossible gaze and Oliver’s quiet, waiting confidence, my mouth wouldn’t cooperate. My heart was a fucking mess, hammering too fast, too loud, drowning out the one part of me still clinging to reason.The silence stretched—awkward, heavy, choking. Neither of them moved. Neither of them spoke. And me? My brain was spinning out in a million different directions at once.I should walk. Should pack my shit, toss Tristan’s precious files on his desk, and leave this entire mess behind. I should.But I didn’t.Because even now—especially now—I couldn’t stop remembering.Every moment. Every mistake. Every fucking time I let myself hope—only to get burned.I remembered the first time I met him. Suit crisp, voice cold, eyes sharp enough to cut through steel. He didn’t smile. Didn’t look at me twice. I was just another assistant—another cog in the machine. But even then—even then—he got under my sk

    Tristan’s PovI hadn't expected they would be together.And I definitely did not expect they would be so in each other's faces and so relaxed looking—too close, too fucking intimate.The moment I walked into the office, tension was in the air. My blood boiled, a jealous anger seeping into my pores as I took it all in. Oliver was reclining over the chair in front of Dylan's desk, grinning that infuriating smile of his reserved especially for moments such as these—moments when he knew he was provoking me.And Dylan…Dylan was relaxed. Too relaxed. His head was tilted to one side, lips twisted into a wry smile as if Oliver's drivel was actually hilarious to him.I hated it.I hated everything."No. What's going on here?" My voice cut through the room like a blade—tensed, cold, barely on the leash.Dylan glanced up, his face instantly falling into something guarded. "Nothing," he said quickly. "Oliver was just leaving."Was I? Oliver drawled, not even wincing at all. He leaned his head in

    Dylan’s PovI had barely finished gasping for air from the whole art show fiasco when my life decided to get even more complicated.The office was its usual circus—phones jangling, emails piling up, and the subtle scent of high-end coffee lingering in the air. I was neck-deep in scheduling hell, coordinating yet another last-minute meeting Tristan hadn't bothered to inform me about, when a voice I knew called out above the chaos."Morning, sunshine."Fucking hell.I looked up, and there he was. Oliver Sinclair. Leaning on the reception desk like he was king of the world, dressed in a navy business suit that probably cost more than I spent on the entire apartment lease. His hair was perfectly disheveled in that I rolled out of bed this way and you'll never be cooler than me type of way, and his smile? Tolerable.I sighed, already bracing myself for whatever kind of devastation he was about to unleash. "Mr. Wolfe is in a meeting," I said bluntly. "You'll have to wait."A slow, self-sati

    Dylan’s PovI managed to get the exact second the asshole made his move. He walked over, eyes glinting with predatory interest. "I didn't think you'd be here," he drawled, voice smooth and condescending. "Slumming it?"Oliver's smile fell just short of his eyes. "What can I say? I like to support the arts."The alpha chuckled, creeping closer—too close. His scent was stronger now, thick and overwhelming, designed to make one nervous. "Playing house with Wolfe still, hmm?"Something sharp caught Oliver's face, but I got there before he could. "Back off," I said, keeping my voice steady and low.The two men turned to face me. The alpha blinked in surprise—like he hadn't even seen I was there until now. "And you are?"I leaned my head, letting myself calm down, I wasn’t an omega who reacted intensely to an Alpha’s scent. "Someone who doesn't appreciate bullies."His eyebrows drew together. "This isn't your business.""Make it mine," I snapped back. "Or you can walk away while I'm still

    Dylan’s Pov"You. Me. Dinner." He stepped away from the wall, standing a little closer—close enough I could pick up on the rich whiff of his cologne, bitter and expensive. "Unless you have something else you want to do."What the actual fuck???I chuckled without humor, shaking my head. "Why the hell should I have dinner with you?"“Because you're curious," he stated bluntly, as if announcing the most obvious fact on earth. "And because you know I'm not going to take no from you until you learn to say yes."He was crazy. "I'm not interested," I snarled at me.He wrapped his hand around my wrist. Not tight—tight enough to keep me still. "Come on," he growled, low in his voice. "It's just dinner, Dylan. I don't bite."I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, right."His grin grew broader, and for a nauseating moment, I could have sworn he was enjoying himself. "Perhaps I simply want to meet the man who's been driving my fiancé to the edge."I seethed.Bastard. He knew which buttons to press."I'm no
