'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
'What are you doing cozying up to the Mr Hector Harrison?' Miss Reeds said. She had just come out of her office furious as she faced Alexa.Alexa had been discussing with Jenny and was surprised to see Elaina Reeds standing beside her. What now? she thought. Was Elaina never tired of picking on her?'Cozying up to who?' Alexa asked. 'You must be out of your mind!'She slept her way to the top, why will she not grace Mr. Harrison's bed too?' Pamela asked jeeringly She's such a slut!''Mind your tongue!' Alexa said, looking at Pamela fiercely.'Instead of coming to work early, you went about flirting with rich men's, Miss Reeds continued. 'if you are not ready to work here, then maybe you should just quit!''You'd like that, wouldn't you?' she asked. 'But you can't make me. You may try but you will not succeed!' 'Where are you getting this confidence from?' Elaina Reeds asked, her hands on her hips. 'You think because you sleep around with the boss, you can now speak to me anyhow?' she
'Camella', what is this?' Amelia asked her daughter, who was busy polishing her nails.'What is it now, mum?' she asked lazily.'Have you seen the news?' Amelia asked. 'Get you ass here at once!'The tone of her mother's voice caused her to rush to her side and stare at her mother's phone. She saw Alexa standing beside Hector. Her own He Tor and they were both smiling at each other like love sick teenagers. And the crowd was shouting both their names in adulation.'Alexa, that bitch!' Camellia said.'This is what you should be doing but here you are painting your nails!' she snapped at her daughter. 'You will be here and the Lyncan king will get married to her. You cannot even take care of a simple task!''I have tried to do away with that bitch but she escapes everytime!' Camellia said. 'You have not done it the right way. Change your strategies!' her mother said furiously. 'You are going to look on while the work we have done for the past five years - our hard - work will go to w
