Zane’s POV As soon as Harry started walking away, I growled. He turned back, confusion written all over his face, like someone who thinks he has heard something but is not sure. One glare towards him and he was hurrying away from me. I threw the door to Maya’s office and walked inside, passing by Kim’s desk. I opened Maya’s door and a sweet scent made its way to my nose. The blood in my body immediately warmed up and I felt a certain part of me hardening and starting to strain my pants. Her scent was enough to give me an orgasm. I spotted a white handkerchief on the table and picked it up, then pressed it against my nose. It smelled so good I started sniffing more. I stuffed the handkerchief into my pocket and walked out there before I did something crazy. I could not take it anymore. I needed that woman. Ignoring her the way I had done may not have been the best approach. When I was in my office, I thought it would make her think about me more, but now I realised it was stupid. Fin
Maya“I'm here for the Future of Insurance Conference,” I told the receptionist at Blue Landmark Hotel. “From which company?” One of them asked, scanning a paper with names. “Milner,” I reply, glancing around the lobby. “Sign here,” she instructed, handing me a blue pen and pushing the paper towards me. “Aren't you a little bit late?”I glanced at my watch. “No, it's ten minutes to eleven. I should've come earlier but I had some things to take care of.”One of my students had to go for a writing competition so I had to give her some last minute tutoring. “The conference started at ten-thirty.” “What?”“Your company's representatives came here at exactly ten.”“I've been so busy but my assistant told me it was starting at 11,” I said, running towards the lower conference room. Thank God it was on the ground floor.As ill luck would have it, Zane Carrington, our CEO was giving his speech when I got to the room. I scanned the room for an empty seat and noticed one next to Edward, th
Zane’s POVI didn’t plan it, in fact I had no idea how I was going to get closer to Maya, but things just fell into place. It seemed my very human mate had a terrible flaw of late coming, which worked in my favor that day. It was so perfect, that she wouldn’t suspect of having ulterior motives. She probably thought I was just another evil CEO punishing an errant employee. I could see her on the other side, working at her desk. She was typing so fast I was surprised they buttons on the keyboard had not fallen off. I could tell she was boiling with anger, but what could I do? Now that I finally had her near, I wasn’t about to let her go.Having her as my assistant was great because now I could stare at her as much as I wanted. I took time to observe her extremely beautiful features. Her brown hair was wavy and long. I liked the way it cascaded on the sides of her pretty face. Those lips! They looked so hot, so full and kissable. She was wearing a very conservative blouse and skirt th
KimGrimacing, I pushed Harlow's disgusting body off me and jumped out of the bed. I wished I didn't have to do what I was doing. It was good that he didn't like kissing. Ew! Imagine if I had to do that with a man like him but you know what they say. You have to kiss many frogs to find your prince. That's what I was trying to do and the prince was Zane Carrington. He was perfect, even his surname said so. I wondered if his mother knew he'd turn out to be so hot when she named him.Zane Carrington had dropped me on the way after promising more but I did not hold that against him. He had looked fairly disturbed. Maybe he was not good at handling stress. There are people who lash out at others when they’re stressed. When I first joined the company, I wanted Harry Smith, but after meeting Zane and working in his office, Harry Smith was no longer interesting to me. I hurried to the bathroom and scrubbed myself so hard as if I'd just been rolling in animal waste. I didn't even want to thin
It was a typical Monday morning at the office, and I was already feeling overwhelmed. Zane was making me work like a horse and it was wearing me out. It reminded me of my internship when I used to do nearly all the work for my boss. I had a stack of paperwork on my desk and was busy scheduling meetings and conference calls for Zane. As I was sifting through some client documents, I was summoned to his office. "Good morning, Mr. Carrington," I said with a fake cheerful smile. "I hope you had a good weekend." "It was okay," Zane replied distractedly. "I spent most of it preparing for this week. I've got a lot on my plate, as you can see." I nodded, failing to feel any sympathy for him. After demoting me like he had, I hated him more than anyone else. I couldn’t wait for the remaining three days to end so I could go back to my work. I had started applying for work in other companies as well. "I can imagine. Is there anything specific you need me to take care of for you today?" He see
Kim At first, I was happy that Maya was demoted for a week. I thought it would be the beginning of the end for her. But, when the night guard told me he had seen them kissing, I lost it. I had failed to even get a hug from Zane but Maya already got a kiss. Although the man told me it was brief, my anger did not reduce. Zane was supposed to be mine, I did whatever he wanted me to do and worked on my appearance. After Harlow’s destruction of my house, I needed someone higher than him and Zane was the only one. If I was on Zane’s good side, Harlow wouldn’t be able to get to me. Besides, I could get him fired. The good thing I had proof that we had slept together. I could allege sexual harassment and he would be toast. I had to create distance between Zane and Maya but I couldn’t do it alone. There was only one person who could help, a person I knew was interested in Maya. "I still can't believe they’ve kissed already," I sighed as I leaned back in my chair. "Soon Zane might start dat
Maya When I returned to my office, I noticed that Kim was acting different. She was quite civil and refrained from making impertinent comments that used to annoy me. She even apologized to me for what she did. I didn't know what was going on with her but I hoped it would continue. She was much more bearable with her mouth closed. I found it odd that she worked really hard during those days and was willing to help out. Zane and I had barely talked since the time we accidentally kissed which was a relief for me because I couldn’t tell how the conversation would go. The staff at the company got busier towards the end of the month so there was that too. There were reports to write, projects to evaluate, meetings and so much data to analyze leaving very little time for chitchat among us all. Somehow we all survived and the last week rolled by. Something took me to the main notice board on the last Friday of the month. I was shocked to see that Kim had won the Employee of the Month awar
Maya It was weird how situations could change in such a short time. Two hours back, I would never have imagined that I'd be lying naked next to my company’s new CEO with my arm on his stomach. My head was near his chest and I could feel the rhythm of his breathing. He was staring at the ceiling, his mind lost in thought. Maybe this was a terrible mistake, or maybe not. But, I knew it changed everything between us. I was not sure about my thoughts on the situation. I couldn’t stop worrying about what would happen to us. Did he want a relationship or nothing to do with me? I was worried he was going to toss me out like some useless garbage. It was only after sex that I got back to my senses and remembered that he had once walked out of the building with Kim and they had never been seen together again. Was that going to happen to me as well? It hurt to think that the beautiful moments we had shared had to be put in the past when we both went back to our lives. He drove me to heights I
Maya.After all the drama, Zane wanted to fire Harlow. But after some serious thinking between the two of us, Zane decided to sell back the company to the previous owners. Mr. Milner had realised it had been a bad decision to sell of his family legacy. Thankfully, Zane didn’t want it anymore. “I bought it because I wanted to be close to you,” he said. “I got what I wanted. I don’t need the company anymore. I will continue to expand the dynasty I have already built. I’ll probably have branches of my companies here in future. For now, I’m quite contented with all the companies I own. Besides, more companies means more work and I just want to enjoy my life with you now.”“Are you bragging, Mr. Carrington?” I asked, smiling.“Maybe,” he said, leaning closer to me. “Do you like that?”I shook my head, trying not to smile. “I hate arrogant men.”“And yet here you are with me. I guess you, miss Bennett, don’t know what you want.”“Shut up,” I said, kissing him. Even though we had kissed ove
Kim *One week later*“We've all raised some good ideas and-”Harry stopped speaking when I stormed in after opening the door of the boardroom with maximum aggression. He was seated around the table with Sara, Maya, Harlow and one of the accountants. I charged upon Harlow and punched his old head. The idiot somehow managed to erase everything I had on him and I'd never been angrier. I was just about to send the video to Harlow’s wife after struggling so much to get her phone number. The plan was to send it and blackmail her. There was a possibility she was okay with him sleeping around with younger women but she wouldn’t want to have a video of her husband in that compromising position spreading all over the internet.“Stop it!” Maya yelled as I rained punches on her boss' head. Someone grabbed me by the waist as Sara called out for security guards from the doorway. “Let me go,” I shrieked, trying to get off the strong grip of the person whom I recognized as Harry. Maya was now atte
Emma.When we got to the pack house, Zane gave me my phone back and I was able to talk to my family. I told them I was fine and on vacation. I stayed at the pack house for a full week, getting to know everyone and enjoying Zane’s company. His family was great and it was heart-breaking to see them looking so sad as they buried their father. Zane told me everything that had happened and I told him he should have told me earlier. I would have been more understanding. He didn’t agree. I began to prefer pack life over my lone metropolitan independent lifestyle. The whole pack was like one huge family and everyone loved and supported each other. It was so nice to see and experience. I felt like I had been given another family. I enjoyed the stay there to the point that I didn’t want to leave. But Zane insisted it was important for us to go and see how things were running at the company. Although he was getting updated every day, he wanted to go there and ensure that what was being forwarde
Maya.Lying down, I watched as Zane locked the door and returned to the bed. He took off his shoes and came to lie next to me. Immediately, our lips locked once again. I felt as if my body was on fire, in the best way possible. His hands found their way to my back and started moving, caressing and touching everywhere all at once. He brought his hands down from my back to reach the pink pyjama bottoms I had been given. His surprisingly soft hands touched the soft flesh of my ass and my body tingled. He pressed the cheeks making me release moans I had been trying to hold back. Knowing that werewolves had supernatural hearing, I didn’t want to risk waking up the whole building. Zane flipped me till I was lying on my back. As he leaned over me, I did the honours of taking off his shirt. He had to pause from kissing my neck to let me pull the shirt over his head. The shirt had barely reached the floor when he tried to get rid of my top. I let him and when it was done, he stared at my bre
Maya.I was angry at myself for not screaming when I found Zane in my house. I hated myself for being foolish enough to believe that he wasn’t going to hurt me. Clearly, he was a psychopath who preyed on women who were attracted to him. The room I woke up in was quite good, luxurious in fact. However, it was devoid of personality as if it was a guest room. I could hear voices outside but I couldn’t see anything since the windows were boarded with wood. Thankfully, the light was on and the room was well ventilated. It also had a fan and a restroom. At least he was kind of enough to think of my needs.Eventually, the door opened. To my surprise, the person who walked in was not Zane. It was a young woman. I wondered if she was also a captive of his. I had read a novel about a man who kidnapped woman and kept them in his house, calling them family. Was this a case of that?“Who are you?” I asked the woman.“I’m Celeste,” she said, setting a jug filled with juice on the table. She placed
Zane.“I’m not sure if I want to kill her,” I told Uriel, a vampire friend of mine. I had been confiding in him to find out what the vampires knew about the woman in my custody. Having kidnapped Maya and placed her in my pack house, I had only three or four hours before the fierce tribrid woke and broke down the cage. From what I had heard while doing research on her, she had broken out of so many places and destroyed those who imprisoned her.“I would kill her,” I said. “But I know nothing about the woman. I don’t know her enemies and friends. I’m not scared of the enemies but the friends. She may have friends in high places and they will want revenge. I’m not sure I want to risk the lives of my pack.”“Well, leaving her alive would also be risking the lives of your pack unless you’re ready to abide by her rules.”“I can’t reject my mate. I would live a very sad life if I did. I don’t think Chelsea can give me the happiness Maya can.”“Well, you’re stuck, bro. I wish I could be of he
Maya.People always say just move on. As if it’s that easy. When you have a strong connection with someone, it’s not very easy to let go and move on. For a while after they disappear, you keep hoping that they will come back. That they will realise how amazing you were and realise you’re the only one for them. If they don’t come back, it really affects you especially when you don’t get closure. After waiting for Zane to turn up after days, I decided to go and confront him at his residence since Harry told me had not been showing up at work. I just wanted to hear it from his mouth that it had all been a game and he no longer wanted me. I had tried to forget him but it seemed I first needed to hear that in order to move on.The apartment was in an upscale area of town in a magnificent building, the type of building that I could only dream of living in. the security officer told me that Zane was not around which was a disappointment.“Did he go to Misenium city?” I asked.“I don’t know,”
Zane.The warriors that had surrounded the cottage started running after me and the two warriors I was with. They started chasing after us without shooting. It was apparent they wanted to capture me without injuring me. One of the warriors was captured and his neck was snapped before he was left on the ground. I was very good at running but my chest was starting to ache and my head was throbbing due to my father throwing me down. When the next warrior was caught, I knew it was only a matter of time. As strong as I was, I was alone and it was going to be almost impossible to outrun 30 strong men. For some reason, my powers were no longer working which was very annoying.Suddenly, the men stopped coming after me and stood there, looking very confused. I figured it was a trick so I continued running but when I looked back, I saw that they seemed genuinely confused.“Alpha!” One of them yelled. He was a short guy that was always guarding the pack house. I stood, wondering if they were up
Zane.After nearly getting killed on the streets of Misenium by one of my dad’s men, I decided enough was enough. I convinced Chelsea that I would reject my mate if she was able to help me regain my pack. I didn’t trust her, and she didn’t trust me but eventually, she accepted to help me out. At least she had the strength to make me fulfil my promise by force. Reminding her of that made her agree to do it. I paced around the hotel room as I waited for my father to pick up his phone.“Finally,” his voice came through the phone, menacing as always. “My son, it’s time for you to give me my rights back. I’m the alpha of this pack and I need you to hand over everything. I can take it by force but you’re my son. I still love you despite everything.”I rolled my eyes. What a liar. If he had any love for me, he would not have kicked me out of my own pack like a thief.“I can’t do that,” I told him. “I’m ready to fight you for what is mine.”My father laughed. “You have no idea what I’m deali
