Alexa looked up to find Wayne standing before them. She recalled Valerie's threat and forgot about everything else. She had to get away from Wayne before Valerie saw them together. She could not risk the life of her children for anyone no matter how good they had been to her 'Wayne, why are you here?' she asked, walking away from him.'Alexa, what's the problem?' Wayne asked. 'And who is this man with you?''Dr. Arnold', she said hastily. 'Doc, I'll see you some other time!' Then she quickly climbed into Wayne's car and shut the door. Wayne followed at a slower pace wondering what the problem was. Why was Alexa a ting so strange?The drive home was long with both of them quiet. Alexa kept her face buried in her phone while Wayne kept stealing glances at her. He wanted to ask her why she was acting as though she was angry with him but her demeanor showed she was not ready to speak to him.'She will reveal what is irking her when she is ready', he consoled himself but it did little to
Alexa did not know what made her go to this particular designing company but she did and after looking through her sketches, 'These are good', the personnel manager said, nodding approvingly. 'but I don't have the final say. Keep your fingers crossed. If the chief designer likes your designs, you shall be invited for an interview'.'Thank you very much, sir', Alexa said, gratefully. 'I shall look forward to the interview'.The manager smiled. 'Please call in the next applicant on your way out!' he said, looking into the resume of the next person.As Alexa left, Prince Hector happened to come out of an inner office and was shocked to see her leaving. He stopped in his tracks. He didn't know why but he just didn't want her to see him. What is SHE doing here?' he thought and at the same time felt excited at seeing her in his company.He watched her leave and entered the personnel Manager's office just as the next applicant was going in.'King Hector', he greeted, waving the applicant a
'We worked hard to get this post. How can someone as inexperience as this get here so fast?' one female colleague said at the office, the next day as Alexa reported for duty and was introduced to the rest of the staff by Mr. Potter. 'But you should know how she got here', another chimed in. 'She must have bribed the boss with her body. How else could a newbie like her acquire such a position of top designer without starting out first as an apprentice designer like we all did!' Her comment made them all laugh. 'If you are going to be in this section for top designers', one of them who was referred to as Miss Elaina Reeds started, 'then you should be ready to work!' Then throwing a heap of files on her desk, she continued, 'Make sure you finish this before close of work today!' Alexa had decided not to rise to their bait by responding to their taunts about her morality but all this work? How was she going to have the time to go pick her children up from school and take them home for
Hector could feel the mate bond pulling him to this strange woman. He wanted to kiss her so badly that he forgot where they were.Alexa must have read the expression in his eyes correctly because she pushed herself upright, away from his arms.'Thanks, King Hector', she said, brushing down her cloth. 'It's my fault. I was rushing out and didn't see you coming in!' What the hell was he doing here? she thought distractedly. She did not want it to be that he came here often. She didn't want any distractions.'I came to see a friend', Hector replied, trying to get himself back under control, as he put both hands into his trousers pockets. 'Hope you don't mind that?' He was not sure why but he didn't want her to know yet that he owned the company.'It is none of my business Sir, who you come to see here', she said, a bit flustered because of the spark of desire she had seen in his eyes and the tiny answering spark she had felt when their bodies came in contact. 'Please excuse me', she said
As Alexa walked home from the office that day, she was feeling exhausted but he kept recalling the boy Lionel. She had been dropping and picking her children to and fro school but had not really come face to face to her son's new friend Lionel but the day she did, she had felt strange. It was as though they shared a connection of some sort. And to further get her flustered, the boy had called her 'mother!' running to her and hugging her. She recalled how shocked she had been but had smiled and looked into the boy's eyes. 'What's your name, little boy?' she asked.'I am Lionel. I am Landon's friend', he said, smiling happily at Alexa. 'You arey mum, aren't you?' he asked confidently.Alexa hated to hurt him but she could not lie to him.'Son, er.. Lionel', she started, trying to choose her words carefully. 'I am not your mother. Your mother must be at home. Do you know it will hurt her to hear you address someone else as your mother?''But she is not my mother', he wailed. 'She does
Lyncan King Hector Spark Harrison could not understand why he was so bothered about the recent behaviour of his son - his insistence that Camellia was not his mother but a strange unknown mother of two who he had never met before starting school. He contemplated taking his son away from that school and putting him in another school but such a sudden change could affect Lionel adversely like the doctor whose advise he had fought had said, and he did not want that for his son at all. But this madness of his, this attachment to this mysterious Lady A must be broken. He would have asked his men to find out all they could about this Lady A, the mother of Landon and Leigh but decided to handle it himself. He was going to go early to the school and speak to the headmistress. The next line of action will be dependent on his findings. Maybe to invite the Lady A to dinner with him and Camellia and their son of course so that the issue of Lionel's maternity will be resolved once for all. It w
As she made her way to the office, she knew she was going to have to answer to Mr. Potter but she felt strangely elated at the way the mob had been handled.'Is this how you propose to work here?' Elaina Reeds asked as soon as she came into the office.'Coming late to work?''I am very sorry', she replied. 'I was held up'.'Of course, I can just imagine', Miss Reeds said, making a funny face and her cohorts laughed merrily, enjoying Alexa's discomfort. 'You slept your way into this office, to a position you are not qualified to hold. So I can imagine what held you up. Did the man you hooked up with last night refuse to let you get up early or were you the one who was too tired out after over exerting yourself that you have to report late to work this morning?'Alexa was shocked by her utterance and before she could control herself, her hand shot out to Elaina's cheek and the sound of the slap she gave Miss Reeds was like thunder.Jenny who had been angry at the words thrown at her fri
'Lyncan King', Samuel said. 'Have you told Miss Palmer she is your mate?'Hector was jerked out of his reverie. He had been thinking about all that happened at the company that morning. He recalled how he had tried to bring the mob under control and when it was proving useless, he had started feeling his patience slipping untill an intoxicating scent assaulted his senses and he looked in the direction where the smell was emanating and saw her, walking majestically towards him. His mate,his Luna! He caught himself. Though he was now the acclaimed Lyncan King, he knew his father would not want him marrying an illegitimate daughter of a Beta when there were she wolves of royal blood who he could chose as mate to strengthen their blood line. But he could keep her as mistress and maybe get one or two pups from her. The thought brought a smile to his face.'I was hoping she would be able to tell but she evidently does not know yet', he confided in his Beta thoughtfully. 'Do you think there
