Lying in bed, I glanced at my bedroom window. I observed, despite the presence of my blackout curtains, that the sun still illuminated the sky. Shifting onto my side, I reached out for my cell phone on the bedside table. Enthralled, I gazed at the poignant collage I had crafted with the very last photographs that held immense sentimental value to me. These pictures depicted moments captured with my parents, mere moments before the savage wolf pack claimed their lives. Regrettably, I was absent that day. Instead, I spent my time assisting my grandmother in the vibrant garden. Yet, even now, the piercing echo of my grandmother's horrified scream reverberates within me, a haunting reminder of that fateful day. When I was just thirteen, I suffered the tragic loss of both my parents. The thought of embracing them is a distant dream, and I yearn for the wise counsel of my mother in times of need. The dream of my father walking me down the aisle on my wedding day will never become a reality

Stepping into the room, I was absolutely mesmerized by Alpha Maximus, the gentleman who completely captivated me with his performance on stage.I was instantly captivated by his irresistible magnetism as he drew closer. His mere presence filled the room, surrounding me with an exhilarating storm of anticipation and excitement. I cannot possibly feel this way about him. I made a deliberate effort to avoid making eye contact with him as he drew nearer. I quickly swallowed, struggling to moisten my parched throat.The room, once refreshingly cool, was now uncomfortably hot. His mere presence seemed to steal the air from my lungs, making it difficult to breathe, almost suffocating me. I could feel his gaze fixed on me, as if daring me to look up. My heart pounded in my chest, a familiar sense of panic rising within me.Summoning all my bravery, I mustered the courage to reveal my most captivating counterfeit grin. His nostrils widened as he took a deep breath, savoring the aroma of... what

Upon my arrival home, it was past midnight. I wasn't actually sick; it was just an excuse to catch my breath. His presence made me feel stifled. I sat in my car in the enclosed garage, gazing at the two duffle bags filled with money. I glanced at the note he had written me and gave it another thorough read. I let out a long and annoyed sigh and got out of my car, taking the bags with me, thankful I could finally breathe again. “I can not accept this.” I said to myself as I opened the door to my home. I stepped inside and shut the door behind me when I flipped the lights on. His voice filled my ears."You are under no obligation to accept the money, but I hope you will accept me. Come with me, Emberleigh," Maximus' voice whispered softly in my ears.I jumped and let out a small scream. “What are you doing here?”He smirked, “You didn’t think that I wouldn’t have found out who you are? It didn’t take much to convince your boss to give me your information. A little money thrown his way,

I found myself in an unfamiliar room, adorned with peculiar decor and devoid of any personal belongings. A surge of unease washed over me as I tried to make sense of how I had arrived in this strange place. Sitting up in the bed, I shook off the cozy blanket. Outside the door, I could hear faint voices growing louder. Compelled by curiosity, I rose from the bed and began to approach the door, when suddenly, it swung open. "Good morning! Are you feeling hungry?" Maximus greeted me with a warm smile. "I could use something to eat. By the way, where am I?"

I tried to wake you up, but when you didn't respond, I brought you here to make sure you could rest. I hope that's okay with you?” He asked me. "Oh, that's alright. I simply felt a bit disoriented when I woke up. It won't cause any problems, will it? My presence here, I mean?" I settled into the chair, gracefully sitting do

From across the desk, my gaze fixated on him, utterly enchanted by his mere presence. His hair, dark and meticulously groomed, effortlessly maintained its impeccable style even as his hands gracefully swept through it. With a straight and impeccably sculpted nose, he could effortlessly incite envy among Hollywood's most revered plastic surgeons. And those lips, so plump and tantalizingly irresistible.
