All Chapters of Mated to the Devil Alpha : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Aphrodite: I sat at my desk, my fingers flying across the keyboard, as I worked on the latest updates for our matchmaking app, aiming to make everything much more sophisticated. It had taken me almost a year to design the app and another month to upgrade it, but finally, I was almost done. Seeing the results, I knew it was all worth it.Pausing for a moment, I glanced outside my window, inhaling and exhaling the cold breeze, which was the only thing that was free in my world. It was almost dark already, and working all day had made me lose touch with time, but I wouldn't have wanted my life any other way. It was boring, but it came with a high level of satisfaction.Returning my gaze to the computer screen that illuminated my face, I was suddenly interrupted when the door burst open. My head snapped up to see my best friend and coworker, Lara, walking in confidently, wearing a grin so wide it seemed to stretch from ear to ear."Aphrodite!" Lara practically shouted as she sprinted tow

Aphrodite;The man leaned back in his chair, a smug smile playing on his lips as he watched our reactions. "As I was saying," he continued, his tone smooth as silk."I have a brother who's been rejected fifteen times.""FIFTEEN TIMES?" Lara exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock.Fifteen times?Wow, does his brother not look like him at all? Even a goblin can't be rejected that many times.I felt a pang of sympathy for his brother. This was the first time I had heard of someone being rejected so many times, but I couldn't help but wonder what this had to do with us."That's terrible!" I muttered, and the man nodded, his expression serious."Yes, it is," he said. "And that's why I'm here. I need your help.""And what do you want from us?" I asked, my voice cautious. The man shrugged before pinching the bridge of his nose and relaxing in his chair."My brother needs a mate urgently," the man continued, his tone earnest. "And I think you two can help him find one."I exchanged a puzzled gla

Aphrodite:Exhausted and emotionally drained, I stumbled into my apartment and collapsed onto the bed. I was relieved to find that Lara wasn't back yet, as it meant I had more time to myself to collect my thoughts.After a few minutes of rest, I dragged myself into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the hot water wash away the stress of the day.As the water cascaded over me, I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the memory of Asher's touch, the feel of his lips on mine, or the intensity of his gaze—it felt like he had already imprinted his mark permanently on my soul.After what felt like hours, I finally turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, feeling slightly more composed. I wrapped a towel around myself and made my way back to my room, needing some much-needed rest.As I climbed into bed and closed my eyes, the image of his dangerously handsome face appeared in my mind, making my body feel hot all ove

AphroditeAfter taking a few seconds to collect myself, I stepped out of the empty office and into the hallway. As I emerged back at the entrance, I wasn't too surprised to find that Asher, the landlord, and his group of workers were nowhere to be seen, leaving only Lara standing there looking a bit lost.I gave her a small smile as I set to work, gathering up our belongings and carrying them back into the office. It was a daunting task, but piece by piece, I began to rebuild our lives, placing each item back in its former position with care and determination to set things right.Lara watched me silently, and I could feel her curiosity, but she knew better than to ask questions. She knew that I needed to focus and channel all of my energy into other distractions, so she simply assisted me in returning everything to its rightful place, and we both worked tirelessly to undo the damage that had been done.Finally, after what felt like hours, we were almost finished. The office was once a

Aphrodite:"Asher, please kiss me."A sharp slap on my back jolted me out of my hot, passionate dream. Groaning, I rolled over, blinking blearily as I tried to focus on the figure standing beside my bed.As I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I was surprised to see Lara looking wide awake and grinning at me, which was the exact opposite of the way she had been the night before."Aphrodite, wake up!" she exclaimed cheerfully, catching me off guard. "We have work to do!"Just yesterday, she had been a mess, her eyes red and swollen from crying. But now, she looked like a completely different person."Lara, are you okay?" I asked, unable to hide my concern, and she flashed me a bright smile, but there was something forced about it—something that didn't quite reach her eyes."I'm fine, Aphrodite," she insisted, her voice cheerful. "I've decided to put yesterday behind me and focus on the task at hand. We have a job to do, after all."I admired her strength, but at the same time, I h
