Erica.But then, I brightened up, unwilling to be daunted in this new plan of mine.“But we know she grew up in this town, right? That she has parents? And friends who might know some truths? Well, I believe we can start from there.” I said with a smirk and my brother gave me a hard stare.Just when I thought he was going to argue again and confound my thoughts and plans, a booming smile came to his face and he gave my head a rough pat. ‘Really? Why do boys think that’s always cute? Anything but my hair boy.’ With a little frown, I evaded his hand and gave my hair a little pat.“You are brilliant, you know that?” Eric said fondly and I smirked with a big frown.‘Finally, there is someone to appreciate my talent.’ I thought wryly even as I laughed.“Yes, I am smart and I am sure we can do this.” I confirmed with a hopeful glint in my blue ocean-less eyes.******Eric.I listened to Erica’s words and I felt a deep sadness within me. It seemed we had everything but what’s most important
Christos.I was in my office a few days later when the twins knocked briefly before coming in. Even if my secretary had not announced their presence, I would have known it was them from that excitement I keep getting from my wolf anytime the kids are around.Really! I never knew my wolf was a family man and considering he had never paid any of the kids at the pack house much attention, I believe I can be forgiven for the slight.‘Or maybe he is just a selective family man who only adores beautiful kids with supernatural intelligence.’ I thought sardonically even as I glanced up with a welcoming smile.After a few days of having the twins around, you can say I have grown fond of them and judging by their beaming face whenever they set their eyes on me, it seems the feeling is mutual.‘It’s pure luck really.’ My wolf linked my mind and I growled silently in warning.Did I tell you the name of my wolf is Lightning? Yea, and that’s because his skin is like that of lightning, whitish and a
Christos.The reason we could not afford a war was me. It’s that time of the year and the day dedicated to worshiping the moon goddess was drawing closer, and as an Alpha who had long rejected his mate, I had no Luna beside me to mark that important day.This according to the moon goddess meant I would spend that particular period in agony and pains, being my punishment for rejecting the goddess’s gift.Of course, my rejected mate had since moved on and the moon goddess even blessed her with a new mate and children.I know it was bad to reject a gift from the moon goddess, but how do I explain to her and the world that my heart and body belong elsewhere? That an unknown virgin girl had bewitched me such that I cannot even touch another girl without imagining this unknown girl under me?As an Alpha with conscience, how can I subject an innocent girl to such life? A life with no love and romance from her husband? No, it was better to reject her than to make her life miserable.Of course
Becca. Having been busy all day with the latest design for the company’s ongoing project, it had taken me two hours before I noticed that the twins' lunch box was at the corner of my office, untouched. Which means, because I was busy, they had also forgotten to have lunch. Probably too busy disturbing the tech guys, I thought with frustrating amusement as I closed my laptop to go in search of them. But even as I walked to the Tech department, something told me the twins were not there. It was just too quiet if truly those two were around. Feeling tense for no reason I could explain, I knocked on Daniel’s door. He is their favourite person in the office, so if anyone would know their whereabouts, he’s the one. “Hello Becca!” Daniel greeted me in surprise, probably wondering what I was doing there when I usually preferred making use of my PA or the phone for my needs. “Hi Dan! I’m here for the twins.” I said softly, even though it was obvious they were not in his office. “The twi
Becca.Despite my dislike for men, I don’t usually show this animosity towards them. In fact, I try to be friendly sometimes as long as they respect the line in which I put them.But for a reason I can’t say, I seem to have disliked this man on sight! Even after I knew he was my boss and I am certain it has nothing to do with that first day’s misunderstanding.“If it will help, can I explain it was me who invited them this time around? And that there was no way they could come into my office if I did not want them around?” The annoying man said, and while a motherly part of me appreciated his standing up for the twins, it was unwelcome at the moment.I turned my head and glared ferociously at the man and he seemed to understand my language as he glanced away from my face to peek at the kids with a wry expression.As if he was trying to say to them; “I tried kids, but I never knew your mum is a little witch.” Well tough, because I don’t care about him and his thoughts. “We are sorry,
Becca.Standing behind me with the twins was the man himself. Standing tall and attentive with his hands deeply enclosed in his pants pocket, it was as if he had the intention of following me out of the room.“Hmm—ah, thanks for your time sir and I am sorry for the disturbance. The twins will not come to this side of the office again.” I concluded quietly before turning the knob and the man nodded.“Okay!” That was all he said but he did not stop, he kept following us through his private lobby to the second door that will lead to the main lobby and his world of secretaries.He must have said something because the twins chuckled and after a minute, knowing that we would soon be outside in front of everyone, I could not take the suspense again. I stopped abruptly and I felt the force as they equally stopped, with the annoying man almost barging into my back.“Oops, I am sorry, Miss Summer, but it was your fault you know.” The man breathed somewhere behind my neck and I felt the tingle a
Becca.I am no fool! But I’m not a wimp either.“I am sorry but unlike some people, I don’t mix business with pleasure, Mr. Fernandez.” I persisted with a mocking smile one more time and I felt the amusement freeze on his face. It was as if the man did not appreciate those last words. Hmm, too bad!“Nobody is asking you for pleasure, Miss Summer. With all the coldness around you, it’s forgivable not only to think but to also believe you don’t know the meaning of that word.” There is no doubt that this man will make a terrible enemy as he lashed back unapologetically.This time around, it was my turn to freeze with a smile on my face. ‘How dare this man presume to know me? Does he know the battles I have fought and won?’ I asked silently in pain but in the next moment, I realised it did not matter.All men are the same, they only think of what they see outside. Never really care about you or what shapes you to be who you are.But since I don’t want him to even know the real me, it do
Christos.Why the hell did I do that? Invite her for a dinner date? I thought I was supposed to be avoiding the fire brand witch with her tempting eyes and nice butts? So what just happened?“You got crazy in the head, I think.” My wolf chuckled and I snarled in return.More like I got pissed off.Who does she think she is? Coming in here and acting all snuffy and cool? At one point, I had to wonder who the boss was.It is a fact that I have always disliked bossy ass ladies with imprudent traits, especially the ones with soulful eyes that can eat deep into your souls.“Nonsense! You might dislike others, but it is obvious we have a thing or two for this one.” Lightning, my talkative wolf, snorted again and I almost slapped his face. The thought that I would also be hurting myself was the only thing that kept me from violence.“We have a thing for her? Who are the ‘we’?” I asked loudly in a deceptive voice.“I and you, my dear Christos. We like her even if you don’t approve of her att
