"Are you feeling alright?" Elena inquires, genuine concern in her voice as she watched Astrid's furious expression. "Maybe, just this once, you could consider skipping training?"Astrid's resolve flares in response to Elena's suggestion. She shakes her head firmly. "There's absolutely no way I'm skipping training today, Elena. Blaze is mine, and I won't back down. Anyone who doesn't like it can go fuck themselves!" Her voice rose with conviction, ensuring her declaration echoed throughout the training area. However, her defiant words seemed to elicit even more disdainful glances and the occasional scoff from fellow trainees.Elena couldn't help but tease Astrid, a puckish twinkle in her eyes. "No need to raise your voice, you know. Remember, they have superhuman hearing?"Astrid's response was a dismissive roll of her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Besides, they are humans here too, right?""Yeah, you are right. You do need to scream."With that, the rigorous training session commenced,
"Elena, please refrain from interfering. Our training session isn't complete yet, and it's a mandatory part of our routine to engage in a ten-minute sparring match. Currently, we've only gone through eight minutes. You, of all people, are well aware of the established protocols," Kael firmly reminds Elena."Rules? What fucking rules? Assuming, of course, you don't end up endangering my sister long before that time."Kael heaves a weary sigh, he hated it when they argued. "Your sister possesses remarkable strength; she's far more capable than you might realize."Summoning an impressive surge of energy, Astrid propels her upper body gracefully off the ground, her every motion exuding a blend of grace and controlled might. The rest of her body followed in a fluid motion, her legs pushing against the ground as she rose to her feet.With tenacity in her voice, Astrid confides in Elena, "Elena, I've got this."Elena, her teeth clenched with worry, counters, "No, you can't handle this. You're
"You pervert! You promised to call, but you didn't, and I'm seriously mad at you right now," she protests, making a valiant effort to extricate herself from his grasp, though her struggles proved futile."I apologize," he mumbles, and a collective gasp of astonishment swept through the onlookers. Had the Alpha just issued an apology? The Alpha, renowned for his tenacious authority and commanding presence, was not known to apologize, at least not in public. This woman seemed to be chiseling away at his steely exterior, making him soft."I did call you last night," he continues, his voice softer. "But your phone was switched off."Her battery had drained while she was out with her dad, and sleep from the exhaustion had claimed her before she had the chance to recharge it.Her expression remained somewhat stern as she counters, "You should have called me earlier," she scolds, crossing her arms in a display of mild exasperation."I'm sorry, baby." He tenderly planted a kiss on her cheek a
"Blaze!" Astrid's exclamation pierces the room for what felt like the umpteenth time, finally succeeding in snapping him out of his lascivious daydreams. His cheeks flushed with a telltale hue of embarrassment as his mind shifted away from its indecent reverie. A frustrated, inner expletive escapes his lips. Fuck!"What on earth were you thinking about? I've been calling out to you countless times," Astrid inquires, her gaze dropping provocatively to the bulge straining against his trousers.Inwardly, she couldn't help but label this man as a libertine. He wasn't seriously imagining screwing her? Her sly smirk conveyed her certainty that he had indulged in salacious fantasies. She leaned back in his plush office chair, crossing her enticing legs in a manner designed to taunt."You don't honestly believe I invited you to your office with the intention of having sex with you, do you?" She folds her arms and regards him, a mixture of astonishment and amusement dancing in her eyes."No? I
With a smug grin, she utters, her words dripping with pride, "You know, darling, not only would you be blessed with unimaginable wealth, but our offspring would undoubtedly inherit exceptional intelligence. You're truly fortunate to have me as your mate, you should probably extend your gratitude to the moon goddess herself." Blaze raises an eyebrow at her unabashed bragging. "I am well aware of my greatness," she sighs with faux exhaustion, as if the burden of her excellence weighed heavily on her."And you accused me of being a narcissist." Blaze's response came with a soft, click of his tongue.She counters with a playful nudge to his chest, "Even if I'm not a Werewolf, I've got some pretty sharp hearing, you know."Blaze chortles at her retort, then, with a softness in his eyes, he stares into her eyes, cupping her face gently in his large palm. "You're right. I am incredibly fortunate to have you, but not solely for the reasons you mentioned. I'm eternally grateful to the moon go
"What can I say? We both know it's true. I am hot! If I wasn't so hot, you wouldn't be thinking about how you are gonna survive seeing my naked body and not begging me to fuck you!"Blaze's words had a way of igniting a fierce blush on Astrid's cheeks, and she quickly stammers, "I'm l-leaving for now. See you later!"She hurriedly exited the office, closing the door behind her with a gentle yet hurried touch. Leaning against the closed door, her heart raced, and she nervously bit her lower lip. Her hand, still clutching the doorknob, seemed to be the only thing keeping her grounded.Astrid's mind was in turmoil as she contemplated the challenges that lay ahead. The mere thought of sharing a home with a man as incredibly attractive as Blaze made her pulse quicken. Her vivid imagination conjured images of him naked, water glistening on his chiseled physique as he emerged from the shower. Astrid envisioned his seductive wink, his hard member swaying provocatively with a tantalizing rhyth
"How is this even possible? How can you possibly be her?""I really must be on my way, I'm already running late. But I suppose I can't refuse the car, it would be impolite to decline." Astrid remarks.With a press of her car key, Astrid summoned forth the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, a testament to automotive ingenuity. The supercar, an embodiment of design brilliance, responded with an almost theatrical flourish. Its iconic gull-wing doors unfurled elegantly, as if guided by an unseen hand, revealing the opulent and powerful interior concealed within.Within the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ's cabin, splendor met performance head-on. The leather upholstery exuded luxury, while high-tech displays illuminated the cockpit with cutting-edge technology. The race-inspired steering wheel hinted at the car's true purpose — a thrilling amalgamation of speed and style.Astrid slid sophisticatedly into the driver's seat, seamlessly merging with the high-performance machine. Just as she did, Elena rush
Elias Thorne stormed into the office, his demeanor eclipsed by a whirlwind of irritation. The door swung open with an assertive slam, reverberating through the corridor. His brows furrowed in consternation, a tempest of rage clouding his typically calm countenance.The news of being replaced by a seemingly young and inexperienced figure had ignited a fire within him. Each step he took into Leo's office resonated with a mix of indignation and incredulity. His jaw clenched, and his eyes flashed with a tumultuous fervor, betraying the internal turbulence."What's this unsettling news I'm hearing, Leo? You're opting for a replacement, and not just anyone – a young woman clearly lacking in experience. I understand the company is grappling with a crisis, but do you genuinely believe someone like her can navigate us through these challenges? I've dedicated over two decades to this company. How could you make such a decision without considering my loyalty?" he demands, his tone seething with f
