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

  • The Magnetic Alpha   25 Crazy head

    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

  • The Magnetic Alpha   26 Dinner date

    Becca.Sitting on my bed that Wednesday evening, I wondered if it was a good thing to wish one’s child ain’t as intelligent as they were.Because really, if only I had less intelligent kids, I would not be here right now, pushed into a dinner date I really do not look forward to.And I definitely would not be panicking knowing my best friend would walk through the door any moment from now.Of course it doesn’t help to know Christos has changed his mind about me coming to his place. He had phoned this afternoon to let me know that would no longer be necessary. He will pick me up at my home for the dinner event!Sure, I was relieved to hear that it’s not really a date but a dinner event where we will have over two hundred guests in attendance. It is good to know he also thought coming over to his house would not be a good idea, but what will really make me feel good and happy is getting that call of cancellation from him.I honestly don’t want to spend my evening around a man who makes

  • The Magnetic Alpha   27 Tough Luck

    Becca.Cindy wasn’t impressed by my words. She snorted.“Well, tough luck, my dear. It is unfortunate you don’t have a choice in this case and unless you want your boss to be looking like a fool when he gets here to pick you up, I will advise you to get up right now and make a quick run for it. Maybe, just maybe you can be ready before he gets here.” Walking towards me as she talked, she finished with a bossy glint in her saucy eyes and I blinked.About to deny caring about my boss’s feelings, a picture of the man came to my eyes and I paused with a little frown on my face.Of course, the last thing my boss will appreciate is a woman making a fool of him. In front of an audience especially. No, he definitely will not take this kindly. Which begs the question…‘Do I really want to provoke the man into doing his worse? Am I ready for the repercussions?’ I know I can easily get another job elsewhere even if he fires me but do I want that on my record?’And I know the answer. I can’t ris

  • The Magnetic Alpha   28 Breaking boundaries

    Becca.“This is a start, darling. By consenting to this outing, you are breaking forth from the boundaries and you just have to release your heart to the moment. All you have to do to achieve this simple fit is to take this as a simple outing with an ordinary, simple man.” Cindy advised lightly.About to nod my head slightly in acknowledgment, a picture of the man I was going out with came to my head and I found myself chuckling.‘The last thing anyone would use in qualifying Christos Fernandez is simple and ordinary.’ I thought wryly and as if my friend finally understood what she said also, she joined me in laughter even as we heard the kids chatting excitedly with the man downstairs.Few minutes later, I walked down the stairs with my friend and we both stopped abruptly when we felt the pull of an unusual eye on us. With a swift glance towards the big room, we immediately noticed the silent effect of the man watching our movements. If you ask me, I stopped so suddenly because it w

  • The Magnetic Alpha   29 Most Influential

    Becca.Well, it does not happen that way. The time ticks so slow like a snail, and it does not seem this man is bored of my company yet.As a matter of fact, anyone would be deceived to think he’s enjoying my company. He had not left my side all evening, except only at the barest minimum and that was to have a small talk with the host and some few important others.It was apparent many considered him to be the most influential in the room, yet you would not know it judging by the unaware manner he treated them.Indifferent! That’s the word that comes to mind in describing the man at the moment. He is totally indifferent to the men worshipping him from afar and all the beautiful, well dressed people in the room. Especially the overdressed, simpering ladies who kept doing their level best to catch his attention.Some even threw me a malicious glance once awhile, as if it was because of me the man was ignoring them.Amused, I had tried walking around the room alone, with a telling glance

  • The Magnetic Alpha   30 First kiss

    Christos.Oh heavens, I had not meant to do that. It had been unflattering and annoying seeing the eager way in which she was pushing me towards all those women all evening and I had only wanted to make her stop.Shepherding her towards the food section was with the intention to make her stop. By shoving foods in that pouting mouth that would not stop talking but then, she had stopped so suddenly, I immediately got worried. With the aim to check if she was alright, I turned her to face me and the shock of seeing that mouth opening again to argue with me brought out my primitive nature and I found myself taking her unsuspecting innocent lips roughly with mine and kissing her hard. With pent up anger and pleasure!Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that it was something I had wanted to do all evening or that I had been looking for a perfect excuse to take her into my arms ever since I set my eyes on her in that lovely demure gown that was so reddish and tempting, it’s a wo

  • The Magnetic Alpha   31 Unexpected Reaction.

    Becca.Wiping the tears from the corner of my eyes, I wondered what I would tell the twins and my friend most especially.Stupid! Stupid!! Stupid!!! Despite my fear of the outing, I will not call it a date. It is an official outing as far as I am concerned.So yes, despite my fear, I had found myself enjoying the outing at one point and even found Christos’s company funny enough.It’s ego boosting to have the most powerful good looking man in the room standing at attention beside you all evening. The way he never took his eyes off me for more than a few seconds had been so flattering, I forgot my own reservation towards this outing in the first place.And when that thing, when that unexpected thing happened?‘What thing Becca? Can we be an adult here?’ A voice taunted and I sniffed.Well, the kiss. When the unexpected kiss happened, I had found myself not only responding to it but also participating. How that happened, I did not know, but it did and it was so sweet I never wanted it

    Becca.“Hello? Is that Becca?” Christos Fernandez baritone voice asked softly and I could feel the trembling start from my toes already.“Yes, this is Becca Summer. May I know with whom I’m speaking please?” I was not ready to admit I can recognise the man’s voice.“This is Christos Fernandez.” The man answered and I could feel the impatience even through the line.“Oh, Mr. Fernandez. How may I help you sir?” I asked casually, as if the man had not caused me some restlessness yesterday night.I was sure I heard a deep sigh but when he spoke, it was all done with control.“Can you come to my office for a few moments, please?” He requested gently and I must say that was the last thing I was expecting.‘Is he going to give me a sack over last night? Hmm, even Christos Fernandez cannot be that much of a bastard.’ I thought wryly as I gave a slight cough.“I am a bit busy right now, Mr. Fernandez.” Of course when the boss calls you, you have to go running, dropping whatever it is you were

  • The Magnetic Alpha   286 Alpha’s Shock

    Christos. “What?” They all screamed at the same time including the twins. “Becca didn’t give me a Baby. She—she delivered triplets.” He tacked along softly and it was a while before the meaning of his words penetrated their shocked brains. “A what?” Josh Summer finally murmured, unable to believe his ears. “She gave me a boy and two girls. The most beautiful healthy babies I have ever seen in my life. That’s what my Mate gave me.” He enunciated softly, so that there was no confusion about his meaning and almost at once, everyone moved to sit down weakly. Having thought he was going to deliver unwanted news after that statement of no baby, it was a real shock to hear that not only had she given birth to a healthy baby, but babies. “Triplets, oh my God!” Erica murmured in awe, echoing the thought in everyone’s head and Christos finally allowed himself to show a little of what he was feeling. Though he is still dazed, it’s obvious he’s happy and proud of his mate’s latest accompl

    Christos.Just in that moment, they heard movements behind them and they all turned to see the newly married and pregnant Cindy running towards them with her frustrated Mate in pursuit, trying to no avail to stop her from running on the dangerous floor of the hospital and it amused them all to notice that she was barely paying him attention as she almost barged into Josh Summer who was standing almost in her path.“Oops, I am sorry, Dad.” With an embarrassing blush covering her cheeks, she apologised wryly to her best friend’s Dad who sent an amused look towards her protruding belly.“You are not trying to bring that baby to the world yet. Are you, baby girl?” Josh Summer teased with a fond smile at his daughter’s friend who was now a member of his big loving family and Cindy chuckled wryly.“Of course not, Dad. And please, don’t joke like that, it takes little to make Micheal turn green at the edges these days.” She murmured mischievously to the man she now considered to be her fath

  • The Magnetic Alpha   284 Expectation

    Christos.Wondering if it would be considered bad manners to scuffle in the hospital room even though he’s the master of the whole place, the Alpha allowed himself to take a deep breath while his wolf gave the now silent Gabriel an unbelievable look. ‘Really! Is he so stupid he doesn’t fear for his life right now?’ Lightning murmured to himself as he watched his human companion trying to control his breathing.“You want to join my Mate on the hospital bed. Don’t you? I will not mind breaking your arms right now if that’s what you are asking for.” The Alpha promised tightly, almost with relish and Gabriel gave him an askance look.“You mean despite being tense about the birth of the new pups, you will still have energy to scuffle with me?” He then made a tsk tsk sound as if he couldn’t believe it.With slitted eyes that’s almost closed, Christos gave the annoying idiot a considering look and just when he thought the hell with it and was going to throttle the guy anyways, his Beta quic

  • The Magnetic Alpha   283 Proper Appreciation

    Becca.“Most proper way possible?” I could pick out the confusion in his voice and I smiled inwardly.‘Poor man! If only he knows what plans I have gat for him.’ I mused wryly to myself with another silent chuckle even as I stood to my knees again on the bed.“Yes. My darling slow Alpha, I mean that I need you and Lightning right now. In there, pounding me hot till I scream for your mercy.” I uttered slowly even as I removed the lapels of my robe to reveal my naked body to his gaze.Even before I revealed my boobs with its newly added weight, I could feel the charged atmosphere as Lightning immediately jumped to attention upon hearing my declaration and when I saw the almost unfocused slanted eyes of my beloved mate, I finally allowed my amusement to show.“You want to stare all day or you want to come have this?” I enticed with a little pat at my well rounded endowed ass and I saw him give a visible shiver.“I would really love to stare all day, my Queen, because damn, you are worth

    Christos. I inhaled sharply before looking at her with hooded eyes.“Okay Babes, what do you want us to clarify?”“This thing, this unnecessary burden you are carrying on your shoulders. I admit that you have sexy broad shoulders that seem capable of anything but the last thing you should let them take on is a burden that’s useless.” She intoned almost harshly and not just me, but my wolf also winced along with me.“Useless?” Is that how she sees it? And couldn’t she have phrased that more gently? Why make it seem as if I’m having an unnecessary pity party?“Yes, useless. Don’t get me wrong, I understand your feelings, I sure do. I know it’s possible to feel guilty over the past, because yea, I have been there, done it all but at the end of the day, I sat myself down and I asked myself if it’s worth it. Do I want to keep wallowing in the past, wallowing in guilt or do I want to move forward and be a better version of myself? So I ask you, Christos Fernandez, do you want to continue w

  • The Magnetic Alpha   281 Clarifying the Past

    Christos.“Not me. I was paying attention. Lightning is the one with a wandering mind.” I pushed the blame on my wolf without remorse and he gave an angry bellow before peeping out of my eyes to look at our Mate with soft baby eyes, probably hoping to soften her up that way but she was having none of it.“Don’t try to be cute, Lightning. I am a woman that is after answers and I mean to get it.” She warned softly and I felt my wolf releasing a little sigh of disappointment as he sat to listen. ‘Good! At least he can’t continue to think he is the special baby here, her favourite. No way man, if I suffer, he suffers!’ I muttered to myself with relish and I heard a long hiss that showed he knew what I was thinking. But who cares? As long as he isn’t trying to take my place in my woman’s heart, I am good.“Becca darling, you should relax and stop worrying yourself over nothing, okay?” I tried to pacify the heavily pregnant woman that’s still glaring at me so suspiciously, one would think

    Christos.Just when I felt a stumble and I was certain I might never get out of this dark void that’s consuming my body and soul, I felt a cool touch on my sensitive skin and I jumped as if scalded. “Christos? What’s going on? Why are you suddenly looking as if you just saw a ghost? And why is your body so hot to touch?” Becca’s tone sounded so faint, it’s as if she was speaking from afar and it was with a great effort I pulled myself back from my own self inflicted abyss to focus my gaze on her.Even at that, her face seemed blurry and I can’t find the words to explain how I felt. “Damn it, Christos, you are getting me worried and you are indirectly transmitting this to the baby, I can feel him in here right now kicking up a ruckus and to be frank, I don’t find it funny.” Her voice suddenly called more urgently as she gripped my bulgy arms for a significant shake.If the tone of her voice had not been enough to pull me out of my misery, then the word ‘baby’ instantly did the magic

  • The Magnetic Alpha   279 A Desire

    Christos.By now, my men and Cindy already joined us with her besotted mate walking closely beside her. I could see the way they kept touching one another slyly and I glanced away from the image it was creating in my head. Turning my head to the other side, I ignored them pointedly.I want no lovey dovey distraction until I sort my pups and can then give my woman my undivided attention. In the privacy of our bedroom, mind you. ‘Hopefully, I can wait to get there before thrusting myself into her welcoming abode.’ I mused wryly to myself and Lightning’s groan gave me a jolt.‘Will you stop it, man? You are creating ideas in my head and that is not fair. Not now, when our mate has something else on her mind at least.’ He rebuked with a childish petulance that got me so amused, I wish I could hoot in laughter.But I curbed the impulse, knowing that that was not the time, not with our parents standing close by, paying attention to every word and gestures.“I am not capping, Ric.
