• A Bond Not Meant To Be    Chapter 69: Unexpected Encounter

  Lucille had just finished attending a short seminar on business communication. The event was held at the city convention center, and since it ended early, she decided to take a walk outside and buy herself a cup of coffee from the café across the street.She stood in line, scrolling through her phone, when someone bumped into her gently from behind."Oh, I’m so sorry," she said quickly, turning around."No worries," the man replied with a polite smile. "I should’ve been paying attention."Lucille gave a small laugh. "It’s alright. These lines can get tight."They both moved forward and ended up standing next to each other as they waited."You were at the seminar too?" he asked, glancing at the tag still hanging from her neck."Yes, I work with Norrcom Allied Solution. We were invited," she said casually.The man raised an eyebrow. "Norrcom? I’ve heard of that company."Lucille’s eyes lit up a little. She loved any opportunity to market her company. "Really? We specialize in innovati

  It had been a full year since Lucille started working at Norrcom Allied Solution.Twelve months of pushing through, no matter what.In that time, she faced a lot of discrimination just because of her wolf rank. Being the only omega werewolf in such a big company wasn’t easy.But Lucille didn’t give up. She stayed focused, worked hard, and stayed professional. Even though she was an omega, her efforts made it tough for the company to let her go.Maybe the moon goddess was watching over her, because little by little, things began to change. People started to notice her.She didn’t make any close friends, but she had nice and respectful coworkers.Her heels clicked softly on the floor as she walked toward the director’s office. Mr. Kay was known to be a very serious man who rarely praised anyone’s work.Lucille’s heart pounded faster with every step. Why had he called for her? What had she done wrong?She took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.When she heard a response, she p

  Lucille didn’t give up.Every day, she applied to more jobs. Some companies didn’t reply. Others sent rejection emails that all sounded the same:“We regret to inform you…”She had read those words so many times, they no longer hurt. But today felt different.She had walked a long way to reach the office of Norrcom Allied Solutions, a company that specialized in business partnerships. She had seen the job ad online. Partner Relations Officer, and knew she was perfect for it.But when she arrived and gave her name at the gate, the same thing happened again.“What pack are you from?” the receptionist asked at the security booth.Lucille took a shaky breath. “Downtown Pack.”The woman barely looked at her. “I’m sorry. Only elite pack members may enter. Company policy.”Lucille stepped aside.She didn’t argue. She was too tired.She walked to a bench nearby and sat down. The building stood tall in front of her, made of blue glass and steel. It looked clean, modern, and powerful. Everythin

  Lucille sat by the window, staring out at the cloudy sky as the evening breeze gently moved the curtain. On her lap was an old laptop, its screen flickering slightly, but still good enough for what she needed.It had been almost two weeks since she walked away from the estate. Her life was finally hers, and though she didn’t have much, she had peace. That should’ve been enough.But every day, a small voice whispered inside her, You’re meant for more.She clicked open the browser and typed in a job search website. It loaded slowly, but eventually, a list of vacancies appeared.Her eyes scanned the titles:Junior Admin Officer – Arktaven EnterprisesOffice Assistant – Morvick LogisticsData Clerk – GreenSphere SolutionsShe clicked on the first one."Minimum requirement: university degree. Experience in admin preferred. Must have strong organization skills."Lucille smiled a little. If qualifications mattered, she had plenty.She had graduated from the Royal Ebonvale University, the top

  Lucille never expected the woman at the tall white house to offer her the job so quickly, but she did. Her name was Mrs. Edith Marklins, and she lived with her husband and their teenage daughter, Lily. They were nothing like the Jones family. The Marklins treated Lucille with kindness and respect from the very beginning.“You can start tomorrow morning,” Mrs. Marklins had said with a gentle smile. “We’ll provide your meals, and there’s a spare room at the back of the house. You can stay there if you’d like.”Lucille had been speechless. She nodded quickly, blinking back tears. “Thank you. Thank you so much, ma’am.”Then she hesitated. "Please ma'am. I just arrived the city. I don't know anyone. No where to stay. Can I...just..move in immediately?""Of course!" Mrs. Marklins responded without hesitation.That same day, Lucille had a roof under her head. Not just any roof, but a perfect one.The room was big. A large bed stood in the middle. The walls were, painted peach. Several pict

  Edward stood outside Lucille’s family cottage, his hands clenched at his sides. “Please, Louis,” he said again, voice low, tired. “Just tell me where she went.”But Louis only shook his head, arms still crossed. “She didn’t want to be found. Respect that.”Edward looked into Louis’s eyes. He was serious. Nothing Edward said would change his mind. No amount of begging would make him give up Lucille's location.Edward lowered his gaze. “Alright,” he whispered, defeated.He turned and walked back to his car. As he drove away from the village, the road seemed longer, the sky duller. His heart felt heavy in his chest. He had come all this way, hoping to see her, but he had failed.Back at the estate, Edward pulled into the driveway slowly. The car engine hummed, but he didn’t turn it off right away. He just sat there, staring blankly ahead.The front door opened. Mark, his best friend, came out quickly, face full of frustration.“Edward!” Mark shouted. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why
