~Carsen~
I raked my hands down my hair as I watched her retreating figure. My teeth clenched as I remembered how delicate she was when I pinned her to the wall.
I was in my office doing some work when I inhaled her scent—that chocolate mint scent laced with a fresh woody smell. It was chaotic, and before I could even pinpoint a thing or two, Rowan took over and pinned her to the wall. His eyes glazed with so much possession that he didn't want to let go.
Her eyes were alluring and I knew she was checking me out, but what jerked me out of my reverie was the hidden human scent.
When I called her my Mate and the reaction she gave was proof that she had no idea what that meant.
Fuck!
I jerked back, but Rowan wanted to pull her closer to him.
I pushed him to the back of my mind and spoke rudely to her. First thing first, get her out of the office and then look for a way to get her out of this company. She can't work here, not when I know that every time I come her scent would be a distraction to me and my mate.
Selene did me dirty.
She gave me a human as my mate and she knows how much I hate those species.
Look at my mate for example, She's petite and she has a sharp mouth.
‘Pick this up and give it to Mr. Darren. This document is urgent, just arrange it and place it on the table,’ her words rang in my head.
See how rude she was.
She doesn't even know I'm the boss here and she tells me to pick them up. I looked at the documents lying on the floor. The door of my office opened and Logan walked in.
His eyes lit in confusion as he stared at the papers on the floor, “Sir, what happened?” He queried.
Of course, he could inhale the blurry scent of the human that came in here just now
But he doesn't know how intoxicating her scent is.
She wasn't his mate, after all she's mine.
“Pick up those papers, arrange them back and drop them on my table,” I ordered. He didn't ask any questions and did what he was told to do.
A sigh escaped from my lips when Logan walked out of the office. My eyes never left the door, the way she swayed her hips when she walked away, giving these sassy vibes.
That small mouth needs to be taught a lesson, she needs to make good use of that tiny mouth.
‘To suck my dick,’ That thought came into my brain and I could feel my dick twitch.
Dammit!
I need a very strong alcohol, something that could take my mind off her.
Just as I was about to call Logan to get the car ready, my phone rang. I pulled out my phone from my pocket, on the screen was Darren. His face popped up as soon as I clicked on receiving.
“Hey,” he said over the phone, grinning. I pulled on an aloof expression.
“Yes?” I raised my brow and then Sasha showed on the screen. My gaze landed on her bulgy tummy, which was already big. Her cheeks were bigger than before and it looked like she had gained more weight.
Just two days and see the wonder Darren had done to our beautiful Luna
“Hi, Sasha” I greeted and she sent me a warm smile.
“Hi Carsen, how's the city? Hope you aren't stressed?” She asked, of course, the mummy bear.
“I’m fine, Sasha, why are you getting so worried? You ought to take care of our soon-to-be Alpha,” I said, switching the conversation to be about her. I wouldn't want her to get worried sick about me when she's in this condition.
“Who says the child is going to be a male? I have an inkling this is a female,” she interjected with a frown on her lips.
Darren kissed her cheeks and then moved to the nape of her neck, I closed my eyes, tired of watching their PDA.
“It doesn't matter, bear, whether the child is a male or female. The child is going to take over the power after me, that is if the child wants it. I won't force our child if our child isn't interested,” he coaxed and she seemed to be content with his answer and then I heard them smooching.
“Okay, I think it's time for me to end the call so you guys can continue with your lovemaking,” I groaned, feeling very jealous that I can't even be with my mate.
It looked like Darren saw right through me,he muttered something in Sasha's ears, she muttered sorry and excused herself so we could talk.
“Now talk, Carsen, how's the city treating you?” He queried with a stern look.
What was I supposed to tell him, that ever since I got to the city I've been having sleepless nights? Their noises were getting to me and I had the urge to just snap a neck or two to fill my bloodlust and to top it all Selene decided to be cruel and sent my mate to me , who I later realized was a human.
I'd be grateful if she gave me a witch as my mate and not a human but then Selene is so unpredictable and cruel.
“Far worse than I'd imagined,” I grumbled.
“How is the business going?” He asked, getting straight to the point. I'm sure he doesn't want to delve deeper.
“We’ve been able to mellow things down. Give me three months. I'll be done with all the necessity then I'll be out of this company,” I muttered.
I just can't wait to get out of this place.
“Is there a way for me to sack someone working in your company even if he/she didn't do anything wrong? Or perhaps the person was rude to me?” I asked.
Darren didn't say anything, he just looked at me for a while. His brow raised up as if he was waiting for me to continue talking.
“Spill it Carsen, I know something is bothering you. Spill it, or you won't like me finding out whatever is bothering you?” He stated and I could hear the underlying threat underneath his tone.
This bastard!
He wanted to use the Alpha shite on me.
I closed my eyes and inhaled, “I found my mate—” I paused my words.
“And…”
“She’s human.”
Marcie's POV I was about to return to my desk and resume work as Mrs. Jade had sent me on an errand earlier.As I touched my neck region, I noticed that I had bruises, and it hurt me a little bit.I rushed back to the bathroom and took a proper look at the mirror. I was injured a little bit. How could someone act as crazy as the man who pinned me to the wall? I can guess that it was his first time seeing me. Aside from his looks and charming structure, he owes me an apology for harassing me and speaking rudely to me.No matter what happens, I must remain coordinated, as it is my first day at work. I need to get my scarf to cover up the bruise on my neck. I would make him pay for his actions and behavior, but first of all have to secure my job.I started going back to my desk so that I could resume duties as other staff were already settled and working."Hi, Marcie," the voice of Mrs. Jade called from behind.I stopped for a while and then turned back to respond to her."Hope y
Carsen's POV I dismissed Darren's call when I noticed someone coming into my office. I looked and waited for the person to come out.To my greatest surprise, it was my mate whom I had encountered earlier.What could she be doing here after all the rude attitude she displayed earlier? I cannot stop imagining how she spoke to me in a very rude tone. Not only that, she ordered me to pick up the papers on the ground.As she came in, she acted as though she did not come to create issues while she demanded the presence of the CEO.Only if she knew that I was the one she was looking for. I guess when she finds out, she will regret her earlier actions. And from the look of things, she desperately needed the job to survive.I made her know that I was the one she was seeking, but reluctantly, she refused to believe me. I should not waste my precious time proving a point to a mere human. As she tried creating a big deal out of it, Logan, who was my secretary, came in at the rig
Carsen's POV This particular staff acts a bit differently. Her character is weird. Since she found out that I was a person she should not offend, she kept acting normal.I do not know the reason why she forgets that I am her CEO, and I have every single right to decide if she stays or not.There is something very interesting about her nonchalant attitude, and I would be the one to handle her issues.This workplace is going to be a living hell for her. First of all, she is going to pay for what Selene did to me.How could she give me a mere human as a mate? Knowing fully well that those creatures are weak and pathetic. Not only did she punish me with a human, but she also gave me a rude and arrogant one.In the sense that I can do nothing to change it, I cannot even question her; the lady would pay for it.I brought out my system to find out things about her and to know what was giving her the urge to disobey her CEO."Emily Martin! That is a perfect name for a slave," I said to my
Marcie's POV It was already getting late, and I was still outside waiting for the clothes vendor to arrive, even though he had told me he was on his way.I would not blame him for the delays; I would rather blame the person who sent me here to punish me for what he knows he is at fault for.I kept calling the vendor, and he gave me excuses and asked me to be patient.One thing I hated doing was going home late or being seen hanging around at night; besides, the country is not even too safe at night.After waiting for almost two hours, he finally arrived. As he saw the deadly look on my face, he started smiling from afar.All I did at the moment was ask myself who the hell he was smiling with, because I probably knew it was not me.He came up with a lot of excuses and apologies, but that was not my problem. All I needed was the clothes of my wicked boss.Immediately, he handed them over to me; I headed back to the office without saying goodbye to the vendor.I was just thinking of a b
Carsen's POV After she had brought the clothes that I asked her to bring, I noticed that it had taken her so long, and it was already late. As she acted angry, the only thing that came to my mind was how she would go home at that late hour.It was not new to anyone that the country was not safe at night. It was a general thing around the world because at night people who had the motive to commit crimes carried out their mission successfully without any trace. I asked her to come in so that I could figure out a way to send her home safely. As usual, she acted stubborn and refused to come in. The last thing I would do is force someone into my house because they could turn my good deeds into something else. I ignored her asking her to wait for me while I went in to drop off the clothes she had brought from my vendor and also grab my car key. I knew that she would not work out like that because she desperately needed a job for her survival.As I came out with my keys, s
Marcie's POV I stared at him for a while, then I bent down to pack up the files, which he forced me to cross-check. I was already getting really pissed due to his cruel attitude towards me.From the look of things, the files looked like something that had been kept for years. Some looked really old, some looked older, some looked new. My instinct kept telling me that the files were something that was given to him to work on for more than five consecutive years.He has been so lazy that he packed them up through the years. And now, seeing me as an arch enemy, he decides to frustrate me with them.Regardless of his attitude towards me, I would not give up. He felt that he was the CEO, and he had the right to pick on anyone that he chose, but I will be the one to clip his wings. As I packed up the papers, he looked at me, and I could see the joy of frustrating me in his face.He was so mean, pathetic, and an evil soul. I felt like plucking out his bold, cute eyes.The worst p
Carsen's POV It was almost past working hours after I had dismissed Emily Martin. I went ahead and packed up my things so that I could get home early. I felt stressed even though I didn't do much.Talking to Emily can be a bit of a strainShe was so stubborn and would argue about every single thing. But at least I tried stressing the hell out of her, and I knew that she would have me in mind for the rest of the day. While she was with me, I noticed that she had a whole lot of things to say to me, but she just decided to hold them back.At times, it is actually important to free up the mind by spilling out everything hidden there.I succeeded in making her angry throughout the day, and that was just the beginning of the frustration I am going to put her through.I hope she is aware that the worst is still going to come as long as she stays in my organization. I wanted to leave a bit early to take a break from human beings and to take a break from Emily and her suffo
Marcie's POV He insisted that I follow him to the next store as he wanted to pick up some other items, but I refused.How could he be treating me like a slave? I was willing to leave the job rather than follow him out again.We both kept arguing about it till my phone started ringing out. Sarah must have been waiting for me for so long. I had accepted going partying with her, and my boss wanted to ruin it all. I hate giving her false hope, only to disappoint her later..I picked up the call as he insisted that I take it in his presence and assured her that I was already on my way.Immediately after the call, I boldly told him that I was leaving and he could not do anything about it but let me go. As I moved on, I did not turn my back to avoid getting carried away by the looks on his face.I quickly got on a bus that would stop at the bus stop around my area. As I highlighted, I quickly rushed into my own apartment to get prepared. I already knew that Sarah had been wai
Marcie's POV"As he brought the fashion designers to the house, he left the three of us in my room, and then he went to his own room, but they mentioned something to me. They were referring to him as my husband, and then I did not complain because I knew that there was something really important that they wanted to say to me. They said that while they were at the mall, he began to persuade them to do it really fast because he was not safe there," I said to her, waiting to see what she had in mind and what she was thinking about it."Oh my goodness, that is really deep. What exactly is the issue, or was he being stalked at the mall? Do you think it is something really important because some people do not like crowds, and they feel insecure whenever they are in a crowd? I do not think it is something you should overthink, because it is actually the way some people behave when they are in crowded places like that. But nevertheless, you have to ask him to know if he is actually okay, and
Marcie's POVAs they left the suite, I sat in my room thinking of what could have actually been the issue and what he was really hiding from me, because it should have been something really serious.I decided to confront him when he returned, hoping he would tell me exactly what the issue was, because I did not want to put myself into what I was not aware of. He was so secretive, and I knew that if he was going through certain types of stuff, he would not be able to share his anxiety with people.This time around, I was ready to know what exactly the issue was and what exactly he was hiding, because I knew that there was something more to everything that was happening besides I had been having a sort of weird feeling ever since we came to the hotel to lodge, and I thought it was normal, but from what happened and what the workers in the fashion house told me, I knew that there was actually an issue, and it needed to be solved as soon as possible.It felt really strange to me, and the
Carsen's POVAs I got back to the hotel, I saw Stephen outside, and I was really angry because I knew that he would definitely say something that would make me so angry with him.I had to act as though I was in a hurry so that I would not have to stop and start responding to him, as I knew that he had nothing good to tell me; rather, he just told me words that would annoy me, and he constantly asked me about Emily, knowing fully well that I get angry when anyone talks about her. I just had to act as though I did not see him, and then he began to call me.I knew I would surely fall into his trap because he was so manipulative, and he would always act as though I and him were in good times."Hello, Mr. Carsen, Hello, Mr. Carsen, please wait; I want to speak to you about something," he said as he walked up to me. I did not want to respond to him, but then I was stopped by a staff member who was working there."Excuse me, sir, please. That man over there wants to speak to you. I do not th
Treasure's POVI left him to do what he wanted to do so that we could move on to what we had to do next, and then he continued. Besides, we were there for him, and we would give him all the quality time even though we had our stuff to do."Just go ahead and do whatever you want to do, but I bet you that you are all going to pay for this. Each and every one of you is going to be tied to a chair, and will get tortured the way I am getting tortured right now," the wolf who was used for the experiment interrupted Mr. Vaughn as he was about to start what he wanted to do."This is just something simple, and you will get freed. The simple question is just to tell us where your leaders are and where you guys are based, and then everything will be sorted out, and you will go freely with your life, but since you are not ready to talk, get ready to get tortured and get ready to die when the time comes, because you all are going to pay for everything you have been doing, and I bet you that when I
Treasure's POVWe began to take things in for the experiment while Mr. Vaughn was not seen around. I knew that he would have probably gone to wait for us to conclude whatever we had to do so that he could come and witness the experiment, and thus I did not bother myself at all. This time around, I had to supervise what my team was doing because I did not want any issues at all, and I did not want any complaints from Mr. Vaughn.His workers directed us on how we should do and where we would do the experiment, and I was really pleased with what I saw. The lab was so big and had a lot of equipment. I did not expect to see that in a private laboratory because I have never seen such in a government sector.I had to acknowledge the fact that he was doing a good job, and I also had to compliment his work because no one could tell that such was in that building and it could have such massive equipment, which I did not expect it to have.I supervised everything very well, and I made sure that
Treasure's POVAfter I had ended the call with him, I decided to start going to the laboratory today so that we could begin the journey, which we had, and thought that we did not have to miss out or disappoint Mr. Vaughn this time, which I gave him a specific time.I was already prepared and already dressed, so all I had to do was grab my car keys and start going to the laboratory to see what exactly was happening there and to see if they were actually ready for the experiment, which we are going to show to Mr. Vaughn after a longer waited period of time.As I got there, I was really impressed because my boys were already prepared, and they had already started bringing out everything that was needed for it. I was so impressed, and I was so glad that I had such people around me who would definitely turn up for me whenever I needed their help and whenever I needed those things to be done.I stood by the corner of my car and watched them do everything because I was sure that they could h
Mr. Vaughn Alexander Sterling's POVI was so glad to see more of what he had in store for me, and I really appreciate the patience I had for them all this while, and I was so glad that I did not have to terminate the whole contract I had with them out of anger. All he was saying and a little I saw was so fascinating, and I really loved the whole experiment because it was legit, and there was nothing to hide at all. Everything was so clear and happened before my eyes. I even loved the fact that I was the one doing it by myself.It was really amazing to see that a knife could burn someone else but could not burn me. And I began to reason it and maybe thought it was from me, and then I decided to test it on the body of every other person in the room."Treasure, this is so fascinating, and I have not seen such a thing in my life before, but I think I need to do it one more time to be sure that my eyes are not deceiving me. But this time around, if you do not mind, I would love to test it
Marcie's POV As Carsen left alone, I knew that there was something which he had in mind to do, and then I did not want any issues at all, because I was the one who instigated everything by spilling the beans out of anger. "Oh my goodness, Ma, we should not have told you this at all because your husband is so angry right now, and I think he is just going to keep quiet till we go out there with him, then he can now do to us what he has in mind. Please beg him for us because we cannot go with him, or you can come along with us so that he does not hurt us at all," the male fashion designer accepted and pleaded with me to talk to Carsen."You are the one who caused everything that is happening to us right now. You could have remained quiet, but you decided to talk, and now you are pleading for help. Take a good look at yourself and see what you have brought to us, but one thing I want to tell you is that if I get hurt on this journey, you are going to pay so dearly for it," his colle
Carsen's POVI stood outside and waited for them to arrive so that I could take them back to where they came from and also question them about what they told Emily concerning me.I went outside the door and was still there waiting for them as I went through my emails to check if there was any important message that was given to me.Not long after, I went outside to wait to see how many came out with both of them, as they were looking scared. It was something very common because my looks usually intimidated people, even though it attracts them as well."I see that we are ready to go. I will meet you very soon," I said to Emily as I went down the stairs, and the both of them followed me downstairs."Sir, we are so sorry for letting her know anything that happened at the mall. We felt that it would be really helpful if we told her about it because we noticed that you were not comfortable, and you urged us to be quick so that we could leave because you were not safe there anymore. We are
