Becca.With a soft swearing, he flipped himself on the bed with his back. “Spoilt sport.” He accused wryly.I waited patiently and after a minute, I heard a deep sigh that signaled surrender.“I was never against marriage if you must know yineka mou. My mother and father enjoyed a good union before his death and even though I was young, I knew they were very much in love until my father was betrayed and killed; which before you ask, will be another story for another day.” He quickly put in before I could ask for details. Smart devil!“Okay!” I allowed calmly, knowing it’s not something I could force him on.“As for marriage, I had always thought it’s something that would come to me at the right time and which I would gladly embrace. But well, things happened and I was unlucky to experience one of those things, which of course turned me off not just against the thought of marriage but also a relationship as a matter of fact.” I could hear the pain of memory behind the words he was not
Becca. The next day at the office was crazy. Christos was right, the news of our engagement came out with the opening of dawn and by the time the office was opened for work, the news had circulated all over the town and the companies about the Magnetic CEO Boss getting married to his Head of Designs. My phone beeped for the hundredth times in just two hours since coming to work and I could not prevent a groan from coming out of my clenched teeth. My personal assistant who was with me chuckled sympathetically. Although it’s plain to see that she thought it was all sweet and romantic. She had been bursting with energy ever since the office grapevine spread the news to them all. I found her outside my office almost bouncing on the balls of her feet. Totally forgetting about the previous day, I had arched my eyebrow in silent enquiry and to my surprise, the girl had almost jumped on me in her excitement. “Oh Miss Summer, is it true? The news about you and the CEO?” Holding my hand wi
Becca. In my excitement of telling the kids about the coming wedding this morning, I had forgotten to pack a lunch box and now I can feel the heavy pangs of hunger. Reluctant to risk exposure and the staff’s poking, I nevertheless know I have to step out and now seems to be the time. Inhaling deeply as if that would help, I stood up from my desk and keeping my eyes straight and my expression cool and blank, I left the safety of my office as I walked down the hallway that led to the staff kitchen to make some sandwich for myself from the grocery that’s always supplied by the company for staff’s daily use. Immediately I opened the door, I did not need a soothsayer to tell me a discussion or was it gossip, had been ongoing and guess what or who they were talking about? You guessed right! Yours sincerely, judging from the way they all went quiet with guilt apparent on their faces. Well, one particular face did not believe in such sentiment in any case. Instead of guilt, it had animosit
Becca.Really!“I’m not done talking, young lady. You will not walk out on me just because you have been lucky to have the CEO in your panties.” She said temperamentally while a hand on my arm yanked me back, hard.“What the hell are you doing, Miss Brown? Do you realise this can be considered as bullying?” I gave the hand that was still on my arm a pointed glance, ignoring the pain I was feeling from her fingers.“Bullying? I simply don’t care what you call it, my dear young lady. As the elder here, I will make my point and you will not walk out on me.” She threatened with a determined step forward and I realised she indeed had other ideas and plans.At that point, almost the entire staff on the second floor was now assembled and they were no longer pretending to be busy. Most of them stood a good distance away while they watched the show.“And what point is that, Miss Brown?” I arched my brows insultingly, no longer interested in standing for her bullshits. How will I teach my kids
Christos.Usually, I would take the absence of my wolf to mean there was no cause for worries, at least nothing life threatening but judging from the goosebumps I kept getting over my skin and the urgency coming from my men, I knew whatever was about to take place was nothing we would be forgetting in a while.Knowing any of the werewolves on parole would see the car and drive it properly to the garage, I was out of my car on a run even before it stopped properly. Even though my wolf was not present at the moment, the run into the pack house was powerfully noted by every werewolf around.With wolf or without wolf, I’m considered to be the strongest in the pack and only few can survive a fight from me even without my wolf.It’s a must for every werewolf to train from a young age and keep fit even before discovering their wolves. Hardly will you see a werewolf that’s not fit and in control. I ran up the stairs that led to the main house and I saw not only Frank but the others now stand
Christos. The fact that they had almost succeeded in doing this filled my heart with so much pain and I would have doubled over from the guilt but for the knowledge that we had a fight on our hands. Thanks to the moon goddess that unfortunately for them, they underestimated my wolf and those of my men. They forgot why we are considered to be the most powerful soldiers in the world of werewolves. ‘Bloody animals!’ Lightning cried with a blood curling scream and in moments, everywhere became crazy and blood thirsty as we charged into the midst of the fight. Charging at every bloody rogue I could see, I tore into them without mercy, making sure none of them would be alive for long to tell the story. Not even their wolves could heal them from the manner in which I did justice to their bodies and souls. I did not have to turn back to know my men were now charging into the fray with me, ready to kill and destroy. For two hours, no one had a break as we took the enemies down. By the ti
Christos.I must have crashed after we took my men who were seriously injured to the pack’s hospital because the next thing I knew was a pain that almost took my breath away.Raising myself from the bed groggily with my eyes still closed in the hope that I would be able to go back to sleep, I felt another kick to my groin and I finally realised the source.“What the hell, man?” I snarled more from pain than anger and my wolf’s response was a deep tearing at my chest that almost ripped my heart apart.‘Mate is not happy.’ Lightning growled ferociously and it was a full minute before the meaning of his word penetrated and even at that, I spent another sleepy minute processing the information.“I don’t understand, Lightning. Our mate would either be at home having a rest or at the office. So what exactly is going on?” Unfortunately, before I finished asking this, I could already feel the tingling pain in my upper chest which meant my wolf was right. My human mate was definitely not happy
Christos.How annoying can he be?“Will you stop going round and round and just say what the bloody hell they said on the pages?” Really, the Alpha unit is trying my patience this afternoon.“Mmm well, the gist of it says that she is a mother of two illegitimate kids who joined your company not so long ago and though she might be considered to be a talent in the world of designs, they believe she is a cunning young woman who obviously has a better plan for her earnings. They went as far as to insinuate that she came to your company with her eyes on the gold; which means You.” I could hear the distress in Gabriel's voice as he related these supposed facts and I could not even blame him for explaining in detail. I had asked for it. Hadn't I?“Bloody hell!” I swore loudly, turning the air blue with my chosen words and my men were quiet. Even my wolf was not reacting the way I expected him to, which does not bode well for everyone.“Do you think that’s why we are getting these feelings? S
