~Carsen~My gaze was on Darren, who caressed his furrowed brows, his eyes squinting as if he were calculating a thing or two.With that action, it was obvious that he was worried about something.He lets out a sigh.“D, what's wrong?” I asked as I leaned on the wall. Darren stood up from his office chair, packed a stack of papers from his large mahogany desk, and walked up to the shelf on his right and placed the papers neatly there. He shook his head and turned to look at me.“Those damn humans,” he cursed and gritted his teeth.Oui, they are at it again.“What’s the matter this time,” I asked, my gaze sweeping around the dimly lit room painted in dull colors, not like I mind it's totally Darren's kind of thing. The windows were closed, but still I could see that lonely deer ready to be killed for supper.My gaze swept back to Darren; his dirty blonde hair was gelled to the back. His chestnut brown eyes seemed dull, and baggy circles were underneath, clearly stating he had overworked
~Marcie~I walked out of the exam room with Sarah beside me. Her vibrant aura radiated from every inch of her figure; she exuded warmth and confidence. Her bright smile and bright eyes seemed to light up the entire hallway, and even though the exam we had wasn't all that, Sarah just had a way to make things feel good and hopeful.Standing beside her, I felt almost doll-like with my petite frame structure and delicate features that made me fragile. I was what I would call average-height, but because I was beside Sarah, people would describe me as short, and that's because Sarah was gifted with height, and I wasn't. I took my mother's height; almost all my physical appearance was from mom and dad—only won with my stubbornness and eyes. I had his eyes—those unique multicolored blue-gray eyes which I'm grateful that I inherited.Sarah, being enthusiastic, pulled me into an embrace with her ginger hair stuff into my mouth as she crushed me. I could barely breathe as she carried my petite b
~Carsen~My eyes glazed as I listened to the monotone voices in the meeting room. Another pointless decision about quarterly sales and marketing strategies.My mind wanders, drifting to the stacks of papers awaiting me back in the office. Just two days in this damn human city, and I am already going out of my mind. This is ridiculous; even the pack issues aren't mind-wracking.“... and we need to increase our online presence…” someone droned on.How much longer?I wondered how long I was supposed to endure all this with the humans surrounding me. My gaze drifted out the window, watching the cityscape. I hope things are good in the pack.I had the urge to call Darren to check up on him and Luna. I hope we don't have any issues with those rogues; I can't just help but be worried.Maybe because I miss the pack and everything in it. It's so much different than this place; cars here and there. Noises polluted everywhere, nothing like curfew or silence.Just messy.Finally, the meeting was
~Marcie~I stepped into Kingston Enterprise, my heart beating rapidly, racing with excitement. I know this wasn't my first time, but this is my first day of work.I know if my dad hears about me working here, he's going to freak out. Freeze my account and force me to come back home, but then I'm confident that that man won't know a shit about me working here, and I'm also doing him a favor.My supervisor was a lady in a corporate red gown and her hair packed in a neat bun. Her lips a shade of red and her body, adorned with a trinket, earrings, and a necklace, walked majestically in my direction.She greeted me warmly, “Welcome to Kingston Enterprise, Emily.”Jade, I figured that her name on the tag, led me to where my table was in the office. My eyes blazed proudly when I saw a brand-new computer on my desk and a stunning view of the city.My hands felt itchy, ready to start working on this beautiful computer, which looked yummy to the eyes.“This will be your table for the next few m
~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 distract
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 As I saw that there was nothing else I was doing for him, I decided to leave his office. I first of all thought that he might refuse to let me, but then I decided to try and see.Luckily for me, he asked me to go, and I left immediately before he looked for something else to ask me to work on.I quickly went downstairs and sat in my seat, thinking of what he had said to me about the meeting that we would both be attending for three days straight. Well, since he wanted me to go for the meeting with him, I cannot refuse. All I could do to help myself was to postpone all the things I had in mind to do for the three days.I decided to work on what my supervisor asked me to do. She should definitely be angry that I have not given her a response, but it is clear to her and every other person in the company who cares to know that I work for Mr. Carsen personally.The documents were not corrected, so she obviously has not done it. I decided to take my time and do it for h
Carsen's POVAs I was going through the files that Emily had sent to me, I got a message from Darren, my alpha."Please, Carsen, I know that you will definitely be busy by now, but I think you should go to the headquarters right away. They need your help over there," Darren wrote in the message.I knew that it was another problem, but I had to go and see for myself even though I was at work.I think it was high time my assistant stepped up because, by the look of things, I would be very occupied during this period.I had to start packing up my things immediately so that I could reach the headquarters immediately before whatever was happening there would die down.After packing up my things, I carried my bag and went out of the office."Alright, I will be going out right now; please, any scheduled meeting should be held till I come back," I said to my assistant."Okay, sir, I do not think you have any meetings today. Seems you are very busy these days," he said to me, and also tried to
Carsen's POVAfter we had finished talking about why I stayed out the previous day, I had to end the whole conversation by telling her that I would be going home to get prepared for work.She is a human being, but I feel like she is different from others of her species, even though she does not do anything to seem different."I think I will be going home to prepare for work," I said to her and then stood up from where I was seated.She stood up as well and followed me to probably lock up her door. I bid her goodbye, but as I was going, I felt like I was not doing the right thing.It was as if I was forgetting something behind, and then I turned to her and gave her a kiss. She was actually the person on my mind, and I just wanted to kiss her before leaving.She looked so beautiful as she woke up, and I loved everything about her. She was a bit peaceful in the morning, which made everything about her perfect.As I kissed her, she struggled to remove her lips from mine."Stop it! Can you
Marcie's POV I considered staying with him as he had said, regardless of what he had done to me the previous day.I also wanted to be close to him, so I remained there, and I was so comfortable on top of him.It felt a bit intimate for me as my breast and his chest were touching each other. I kept smiling as I stayed and watched him sleep.I felt like there was a place there for me in his heart, and he has refused to speak up.He was already asleep, and I did not know when I fell asleep too on his chest.Waking up the next morning, I saw him looking into my face and smiling. I was just waking up, so I greeted him, and he responded to me very well, unlike the way he does other times.The greeting alone made me feel so special, and then I decided to get up from his body."You got a drool," he said to me jokingly. I felt a bit ashamed, and I quickly stood up from his body, but unfortunately for me, I fell down, landing my hips on the ground.It was a bit painful, but I endured it as
Carsen's POV After I had concluded with the members, I decided to go home immediately. As I got into my car, I saw that it would be good if I informed Darren about it before going to the house. I called him on the phone immediately. It was obvious that the humans had started their attack on us. I will need to do something about it so that they do not go around killing every one of us as they did the last time. As soon as I called Darren on the phone, he picked up the call immediately. He too was interested in knowing what was going on in the city. He is the alpha of my clan, and he should be aware of any improvement so that he can inform others if necessary. As soon as I called him, he did not hesitate to pick up the call, and immediately he asked me what exactly was going on. "We just lost another person today, and that's where I'm coming from right now. These humans are out again to destroy us, and we need to take action as soon as possible," I said to him. "So you want
Marcie's POVMr. Carsen asked me to take a seat, which I did, as I wanted to keep up with my new decision.I sat there waiting for him to tell me what to do for him while he was busy operating his phone.After a little time, he turned to me and asked if I could make a note. I wanted to tell him that I could not do it, but I remembered the kind of person he was. He could give me something I can do; obviously, that would be more difficult than the first one.I have studied him a lot, and I know what he is capable of doing. I had to agree that I could do it, and then he told me that I would be helping him to form a note.It seemed really hard because I knew that he would provide a book for me to read and summarize.He asked me to go get two books he pointed out for me from his shelf and told me that I would be using them to create the note.I still did not complain, even though the books were large, and I knew that they contained a lot of pages.I collected the empty book, which he hande
Treasure's POVI was so happy that we now had support from someone who was interested in the job we were doing.Even though I did not want to take him seriously because he was just someone looking for what to add to his collections, I had to prove to him that these creatures were real.His money would help me a lot because I had a lot of things in mind to do, and he is willing to give everything to support our mission.The only thing he needed was more evidence and, if possible, a live werewolf so that he could see it for himself.As I got home, I sat down in my sitting room and started thinking of the gains I would make if I was able to prove to Mr. Vaughn.I already had a werewolf captive, but that particular one was for myself, and I have a personal experiment to do with it.I had to call on Tracy K so that he could call every other werewolf hunter to a meeting.We had a place where we usually hold our meetings, so we went there and waited for them to all gather. As soon as they we
Carsen's POVAfter I had spoken with my alpha, I sat down thinking of what could have happened and what would cause the sudden disappearance of our people.We had already battled with the werewolf hunters for a long time, and now they are out again, so frustrated with our kind.I brought out my laptop and my historical books and started going through them to see if there was anything that was behind the disappearance or if it was just humans who kept hating our kind.I sat down there thinking for a long time and then decided to keep the books and shut down my system.I had to go to bed because it was already late, and I would have to be in the office the next morning.Lying down on my bed, I tried to force myself to sleep because all I kept thinking of were my people who were missing and the actual cause of their disappearance.I did not want it to turn out like the time when they killed a lot of people and put the rest of us into hiding.Early the next morning, I got up from bed and
Marcie's POVI cleaned up my tears and tried to keep my voice clear so that he does not get worried and start asking a lot of questions."How are you doing, my beautiful daughter?" my father asked on the phone call.I responded to him and waited to hear the reason why he called me on the phone at that time.He usually called me, but I preferred to keep my distance as I would not want to work in his organization with him.There were also some side deals that were done there, and I was against them also."I can see you have forgotten about your father, but it is not a problem at all. I have something to share with you, and I know that you are going to love it," he tried to raise my hopes.I had already made my decision to strive for myself, regardless of his wealth and property."Alright, Dad, tell me what you think I would love," I said to him. I did not want to just reject what he had to offer without hearing it from his mouth."That is my girl. Okay, there is this thing we would be w
