Mira’s POVI didn’t mean to say it. I wasn’t even thinking about it. But as I sat at the table, picking at my food and listening to Kade crack jokes while Eryx rolled his eyes for the tenth time, the words just slipped out of my mouth like a quiet breath.“It’s my birthday today.” I was so shy. Silence. Just for a second. Then Kade dropped his spoon like it burned him.“Wait, what?” he said, voice sharp with surprise. “Are you serious?”I nodded without looking at either of them. “Yeah. But it’s not a big deal.”Eryx’s gaze lifted from his coffee. He didn’t speak, just stared like he was trying to understand something.“I’ve never really had anyone with me on my birthday,” I added, still staring at my half-eaten eggs. “No cake. No gifts. No hugs. Just...me.” My voice came out smaller than I wanted. “It's always just me.”The silence stretched again. It wasn’t heavy, it was sad. Soft. Like both of them suddenly saw me a little differently.“That sucks,” Kade said quietly, pushing his

I didn’t know what to expect when Eryx said he was moving me somewhere safe. I thought maybe a hotel or a small house far from everything. Maybe even a cabin in the woods. Something quiet. Something human. But what I saw made my heart sink. In front of me stood a big, old warehouse, the metal walls rusty and the doors taller than a truck. It looked like no one had lived here for years. It looked cold. Empty. A place made for hiding, not living.I stood outside with my suitcase in hand, staring up at it. The sky was cloudy, and a cold wind passed by, making my arms fold around myself. I shivered.“Really?” I said, not even looking at Eryx. “This is the place?”He didn’t answer. He just walked ahead like always, quiet, strong, and not caring if I liked it or not. That was just how he was. Always doing things his way. Always expecting people to follow. And for some reason, I did.I pulled my suitcase behind me, the wheels loud on the cracked ground, and stepped inside after him. The insi

I woke up to the smell of burnt instant coffee. For a second, I thought I was dreaming. Maybe it was the alcohol. Or the stress. But then the sharp throb in my head reminded me, nope, not a dream. I actually met a werewolf.And the man, the wolf-king, apparently was standing by the window, arms crossed, staring out like he was expecting war to march right up the street.I sat up on the couch, blinking.He turned his head slightly. “You’re awake.”"I really hope I didn't." I mumbled rubbing my temples. "So.... you are really a werewolf?""Yes." He casually said. “So what now? You gonna turn me too? Bite me under a full moon or something?” I was so done in this sh*t. I just really hope this is only a dream. I saw he looked amused. "You are not my type to be my mate..." I feel offended. My brows furrowed and got more angry. He was so rude. "Then tell me what you want? What do you want from me?" I crossed my arms around my waist. He sat down at the other couch in front of me, elbows

Mira’s POVWaking up in someone else's apartment isn’t new to me, it’s part of what I call a job. I don’t have anything, just myself. I never really had a choice. People look at me with disgust, say things behind my back... but their words can’t feed me. So I don’t care. I need to survive.I stood up, fixed myself, and got dressed before stepping out of the room. I found the man I had just slept with sitting on the couch, drinking his coffee while focused on his laptop. No time for chit-chat. I went straight to the point. I asked for the money so I could leave.He stood up without even sparing me a glance. Didn’t bother me at all. I even love it. I just waited while he walked off. I checked the time. 3 AM. I couldn’t stay long either, I didn’t want to be caught by his girlfriend. LOL.“Here,” he finally said, handing me the money without any emotion. “I know you know I have a girlfriend. Don’t even think about using this to get more out of me—”“I don’t care about your personal life,

" Stop that…" Sir Hyxen said calm but deadly warnings . Instead of giving the tissue to me, sir Hyxen suddenly stood up. I stood as well when I saw how sir Hyxen looked at Mr.Theodore. I know that Mr. Theodore noticed it so he fixed the way he sat and did an innocent aura to us. The way he acts is like he didn't do anything to me! My leg is no longer under the table and so he is now being innocent, he is such an old gross man. I was reminding myself again and again about the importance of this meeting so I was choosing to be quiet and not do any trouble to stop this and ended up not signing the contract. I don't want Mr.Thedore to pull back the contract he wants to offer to sir Hyxen because of me. I know it was a big help to sir Hyxen's company and it was for me, it was for all of the employees if this will be successful. And I remember I even researched Mr.Theodore last night and it was too far from his personality to be what I saw now. I read a lot about him and all I can say i

"Mommy! Aunt Trina was so slow!" My daughter shouted inside of our room. "Don't put makeup on your face because we will go swimming, it will disappear too, Aunt Trina." "Duh, this is waterproof makeup made in Italy! Not cheap like your mom's makeup." Trina's auspicious answer to my daughter, a reason why Viela called me again stressful because of her. "Mommy!" Viela shouted again.I can't blame Viela because we were in a hurry to put our things in the bag but Trina still had time to do her makeup. Sir Hyxen has a meeting at a VIP resort and of course I need to be there because I am his secretary. And Viela wanted to come, that's why she forced Trina to come with us because I told her that she can't come unless Trina will say yes. I couldn't take her with me unless someone was there to take care of her or watch her because I wasn't going there for vacation, it was for work. I can't work properly if I was thinking about her every second.The person that sir Hyxen command to pick us he

{YANIE'S POV}Viela can't stop looking at her outfit when I finished dressing her. She was posing and smiling in the mirror like a beauty queen. I smiled and put on her missing accessories, which is her favorite purple headband. She likes it so much because it was her grandmother's gift when she was two years old."Viela, always listen to mommy, okay?" I held her face softly to make our eyes meet. "I'll take you with me but don't be a hothead and follow what mommy said, be a good girl in the company, got it?""I got it mommy, I got it." she playfully nodded.I just nodded and started to fix myself. I finished taking a shower and dressed myself in a uniform. Just fixing my hair and putting on makeup is all I need to do. I went next to Trina who was now also sitting in front of the vanity mirror. We only have one vanity mirror here, so Trina and I need to share. It's okay for us because it's big and still fits even if we use it at the same time. "I thought you don't have a job, where a

YANIE'S POV: "Mommy, mommy is so pretty!" Viela's eyes were obviously still sleepy while walking out in our room but when she saw that I was dressed well her eyes widened. I know she already knew about where I will be going, none other than to the company where she did the interview for me. I smiled at her when she approached me. I laughed softly when she turned around to look at my whole body. She gave me an approved sign and hugged my foot after that."Mr. Sebastian really suits to be your husband." She twinkled her eyes before running to Trina when my expression changed.My eyes followed her with a glare. "Viela!" I can't stop myself from raising a voice calling her name but she was just laughing at me. "I said stop saying that!"Trina almost choked because of Viela's sudden jump on her while she was eating, but even so, Trina's face showed that she was happy with what my daughter was saying, she even looked at me teasing the same as Viela. I rolled my eyes at them and just got

YAINA'S POV:[FLASHBACK]My right hand covers my mouth while the left holds my two-month-old daughter. I was a little bit shaking while holding her because of the fear and cold weather. We hid in the small tree here behind the house and tried not to make even a small noise. It was good that my daughter was sleeping because I was scared that my husband would catch us and he would take my daughter away from me. When I noticed that the rain was starting to pour little by little, I surrounded my daughter with a white cloth that only I got so that she wouldn't wake up. I was praying so hard that she will stay asleep while we still haven't gotten out of here. Before we got to this situation, I heard my husband Gio talking to someone on the phone and he was planning to give our daughter to that person and killed our daughter. He couldn't accept that our child was a girl, he wanted a boy because that was the law in the organization he belonged to and he believed that women are weak. I just f

{Hyxen's POV}I GLANCED at my face in the mirror while taking off my necktie. I am already tired from the meeting that happened a few minutes ago but here I am getting stressed by the applicants who want to apply as my secretary. They only know how to dress formally but didn't even know how to answer a simple question. Their look didn't impress me and so I don't know where I can find a secretary who meets the standard that I want."I'm sorry Mr. Sebastian, I did what you said by choosing a qualified candidate for an interview but I think some of them faked their resume. I'm really sorry." Amanda tried to explain herself, the assistant manager of my company."Just go out, don't push me to find a new assistant manager too." I said and didn't even bother to look at her.Even though I didn't actually look at her because I was busy looking at myself in the mirror, I noticed she bowed a little before she left my office. I shook my head in disappointment, what is happening to the employees n
