“Hey, Izzy, I prepared dinner,” Miles says as he peeks through Izzy’s door. “Would you like to eat with me before I leave?”The answer is a resounding NO, and yet, Izzy shifts her attention from her laptop to Miles. It’s late now. However, she finds the need to pretend that she’s busy just so there would be no more conversation with him. In fact, she already finished half of her work for tomorrow!“You don’t have to cook for me, Miles,” she answers as she returns her attention to her laptop. “Besides, I am still busy.”She hears the door open wider and she can’t help but look at Miles again. He is scrunching his brows at her, as if he knows that she is just pretending to be swamped with work.“Do you really want to pretend as if nothing happened between us last night?” he asks.“Not now, Miles.”He moves closer to her desk and places his hands on top of it—making it impossible for her to ignore him any longer.“What do—”She stops because Miles surprises her with his next actions. He

Izzy wakes up early on Thursday, feeling refreshed and determined to start her day. She gets dressed quickly and heads downstairs to grab some breakfast. As she is about to take a bite of her toast, there’s a knock on the door.She frowns. It’s too early for Carter. She sets down her toast and walks to the door. She takes a deep breath before opening the door.“Can I help you?” she asks coolly.Carter gives her a small smile. “I came to accompany you today…” he says. “…as what is expected of me and especially of you.”Izzy snorts but can’t help but allow him into the house. “I’m going somewhere.”“Where?”“Somewhere.”“Izzy…” he says, a scolding tone in his voice.“Grocery,” she finally answers as she returns to her breakfast. “I also need to buy a couple of items.”“I can accompany you with that.”“Ah, the young master will do such menial things, huh?”He presses his lips and she can feel his pain because of her words. She takes a deep breath and apologizes. “I’m sorry.”The hurt in

As they reach the house, Carter offers to help with the chores. Izzy hesitates, but she’s too tired to argue so she agrees. She is also afraid that her desires will flare up during an argument with him.“Fine,” she grumbles. “You can help me with washing the blankets.”Carter grins and follows her inside. “I knew you can’t resist my charms.”Izzy rolls her eyes and starts taking out the blankets that smell like they’ve been stored in the cabinet for a long time. She hands a pile to Carter, who takes them without complaint.They work in silence for a few minutes, until Carter breaks it by saying, “You know, I used to do this kind of thing all the time when I lived in the packhouse.”“Oh, really?” she asks. “Why did they allow you to stay there? You have a mansion, and your chain of hotels is not too far from here.”“The elders don’t want the

Izzy stares at the spot where Carter was standing moments ago, her lips still tingling from his sudden kiss. She blinks a few times, trying to process what just happened.In all sense of the word, the kiss is really supposed to be a punishment. However, due to the blasted mate bond, she kinda feels like it is a reward instead… Even her inner wolf is doing a little dance for being kissed by him! No, erase that — How dreadful could that be?!Izzy shakes her head and tries to ignore the fluttering sensation in her stomach. There’s only two more days and she will have a free day on her hands. She can make use of that to think about all the confusing things.She enters her room and closes the door. She better catch up on her work and all her personal things while she still has the time, because she plans to spend her Sunday lounging around and just… thinking.**********************The sun peeks through the curtains, signaling the start of a new day. Izzy yawns and stretches her arms above

Izzy walks into the Alpha’s house, her heart racing as she follows Alex to the living room where Alpha Landon is waiting for them. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. Certainly, she won’t jump into his arms the moment she sees him… right?As they enter the living room, Izzy can’t help but stare at Alpha Landon. He looks even more attractive than before, if that’s even possible. His dark hair is styled perfectly and his deep blue eyes seem to be scanning her from head to toe.He stands up from his seat and Izzy feels like her knees might buckle under her. He is tall and muscular — every inch an alpha in his prime. He really looks effortlessly handsome in his suit, the ideal man she always fantasized before — that is, before she decided that she doesn’t want a mate.“You look beautiful,” Alpha Landon says softly, as if he needs air to breathe.Izzy blushes at the compliment and all she can say is, “Thank you. You are very handsome, too.”Alex clears his throat and says w
