Chapter 18: Candice's POVDid Alpha Austin just ask me if I was okay? And then ask if I worked here. And I detected softness in his voice.Of course, his aura is suppressing but the love I have for him is greater than that aura. He is so handsome, I can't help but fall harder. I danced into Susan's office to find her in the corner, looking pale as a white sheet."Suz, what's up?" I asked carefully. "Are you okay?""I... I'm fine." She whispered. "Has he left?""Who? Alpha Austin?"She nodded too quickly. I laughed softly. Was she afraid of him?"Are you afraid of him? What's there to be afraid of? He's just like you and I and everyone else." I praised.She glared at me. "You only say that because you're obsessed with him."I gasped aloud, touching my chest as if I was hurt. "Obsessed?""Mmhmm." She nodded."I am not obsessed, obsessed is such a strong word. You could say, I find him attractive.""What's the difference?" She asked. I giggled. Susan can be such a sweetheart. I can't be

Chapter 17: Austin's POVI watched the surprise on her face when I asked her to eat with me. She wasn't a bad person, she had a good personality and the only issue she had was her inability to speak.I had an important meeting today and I didn't want to miss it. She was also a very good chef."This is nice." I complimented. "The pasta is so tasty and I love the meatballs. It's exactly the way I like eating my meat."She smiled softly. She must have been so excited that I had complimented her cooking without her having to ask. She still wasn't comfortable eating with me. I had to hurry and finish my meal. I took only a glass of wine."You can have some if you want," I said. Seline was so surprised and every time I permitted her to do something or spoke nicely to her, she would look surprised and then sad.I left the dining and allowed her freedom to eat. I watched her for a while and I saw that she became comfortable and ate properly. I suddenly returned and she paused in her movement

Chapter 16: Seline's POVBad enough that I had to spoon-feed Austin, he made me stay up all night, watching him sleep. It was torture for me since I was equally tired. Eventually, I fell asleep on the floor. I lay completely on the floor and I slept there till morning. I only managed to get about four hours of sleep and by morning, I was still very sleepy.I opened my eyes and raised my head slightly. He was still in bed. I thanked the goddess in my heart. At least he didn't leave so he wouldn't know if I slept or not."Finally awake?" He asked and I jolted up in fright. He did know that I slept off!I slowly got up from the floor. I bowed in greeting and he stared back at me."You slept on the floor." He stated. I nodded. I mean, I slept on the floor."Why?" He asked.I was tired and sleepy, I couldn't hold it in. He chuckled. "So you chose to sleep on my floor?"After asking, he threw his legs down from the bed and stood up. My eyes widened in surprise. He could move his body?"Ye

Chapter 15: Seline's POVHe just said he was human. Did he know what that meant to me? It was a subtle reminder of what I had done. The evil I let my father compel me to do. Could I ever forgive myself? I noticed that his gaze was on me and I willed myself to be strong."I'm also hungry, do you think you can get me something to eat?" He asked.I was more than surprised by his new behavior. If I had known that the potion would make him act like this, I might have done it earlier. But the cost is too much and I feel guilty. Perhaps I should just drink the second one and write a note to him?Father said it will kill him off slowly, which meant I wouldn't die immediately. What if he caught me before I died and went through extra means to bring me back just to punish me?I nodded."Alright, hurry up, it's getting late." He said and relaxed back in his bed. I stood up and left his chamber.The person who had stopped me earlier was a servant. She dared to accuse me of doing something I woul

Chapter 14: Austin's POVThe food was sweeter than usual and if she hadn't tasted it with me, I wouldn't have believed that she didn't slip something into it. Everything seemed to taste good and I just felt somehow happy about it.I decided to go out and check on her if she was training properly. I noticed that she was doing her training well but how she did it would tire her out too quickly. No wonder she was always so tired after training.I helped her by giving her some tips and I noticed how well she took them. Suddenly I felt dizzy as if my eyes went closed for a nanosecond. I opened it immediately.Are you okay?"I feel a little dizzy."Maybe you should go and rest.Seriously, seeing her gesture things to me always made me pissed. I sighed and turned to go. Being an Alpha meant having to look okay even when you weren't. So I had to force myself to walk steadily to my chamber. I knew I was being watched by her and I didn't mind.The moment I entered my chamber, I felt this pang

Chapter 13 Seline's POVMy gaze remained on the vials that stood in my drawer. Was I supposed to listen to a man who had made my life hell? Or protect a man who was bound to make my life another hell?Would I ever experience something like freedom in my life? I picked them up. One was red and the other was green. I knew that the red one was poison. That meant that the green one was the one that would lock up his wolf forever.I took the green one and placed it in my dress. I the red one, I hid it properly. Even if I wasn't going to accept yet, I wasn't also going to allow myself to be jeopardized by it. It was time for me to begin my service to Austin for the day. I quickly made my way to his chamber. He was seated in his bed with his back to the backrest of the bed. His eyes were on me from the time I entered the room, almost as if he had been expecting me.I bowed in greeting, putting my hands in a pleading manner before me. His gaze suddenly turned hard, seeing me gesture my gree

Audrina’s POV The phone call came right around breakfast. I was sitting at the kitchen island, staring into a mug of black coffee, when Ethan’s mobile started buzzing against the quartz counter. He picked it up on the second ring, listened for ten seconds without saying a word, and then his face went hard like granite.Two major investors pulled their backing from the firm after Richard spent the previous afternoon spreading rumors about a split. Just like that, the entire house felt like it was sitting under a storm cloud. Ethan didn't eat. He didn't even finish his coffee. He walked straight down the long hallway, went into his study, and shut the heavy oak door.He didn't come out for lunch. He didn't come out for dinner.By nine that night, the house was dead quiet except for the low, muffled sound of his voice behind that closed door, barking orders to lawyers and accountants in Chicago. My chest felt tight every time I walked past that hallway. I couldn't just sit in the living

Audrina’s POVThe door to Ethan’s office was open an inch. A bright strip of light ran down the dark hallway floorboards.I stood out there in the quiet house, my palm pressed flat against the drywall. My throat still burned from earlier, and my cheeks felt hot. Clara was down the hall in the spare bedroom, probably lying awake and waiting to hear if I was going to pack a bag. I took a deep breath, shoved the door open, and walked inside.Ethan sat behind his desk. He had pulled off his tie, throwing it across a stack of white paper, and his top shirt buttons were undone. A crystal glass sat by his right hand with an inch of whiskey in it. He didn't look up when the hinges creaked. He just kept staring down at a printed sheet, his jaw clenched so hard a muscle twitched in his cheek."Shut it behind you," he said. His voice was thick and raspy.I turned around and pushed the heavy oak door until the latch went click. "What is this about, Ethan? Clara is right down the hall, and it's

Audrina’s POVMy throat burned from the way I had laughed so hard. Clara sat and cross-legged on the chair, waving a crust of cold pizza around while she finished telling me about her old middle school gym teacher.For a few minutes, I actually forgot about everything even the delivery guy from earlier and the note I had received. My stomach was sore from laughing, and I actually felt it on my chin.Then the room went completely quiet.That could only mean one thing. Ethan was standing in the archway near the front door.I didn't hear his car on the driveway. I didn't hear his key in the lock or the front door swing open. He wasn't expected back yet, but there he stood in his dark work suit, his coat folded over his arm.I stopped to laugh, my lips parted. My mouth snapped shut, and every muscle in my back went cold.Ethan was standing, staring right at me. For a second his face looked off—his mouth was slightly open, like he'd just caught me doing something I shouldn't be doing."

Audrina’s POVA sharp knock hit the front door.I jumped. My hand jerked, and hot coffee splashed over my knuckles onto the kitchen counter. My heart slammed hard against my ribs."I'll get it!" Clara's voice came out loud from the living room."No, don’t worry!" I said back, wiping my hand on my jeans. "I'm right here."I walked down along the hallway, walking gently so my slippers made no sound. I reached the front door and pulled the corner of the curtain back to peek through the window.There was a guy wearing a black cap already walking back to white van parked on the driveway. He didn't wait. He didn't even turn his head around to check if anyone heard was coming or not.He sat right in the middle of the stone porch step, he held a tall, dark glass vase. It was filled with deep red roses.I unlocked the door and pulled it open a few inches.Cold, damp morning air hit my face. I leaned down, grabbed the thick neck of the glass vase, and pulled it inside the house.There was n

Audrina POVEthan stood near the front door holding his jacket. My mother was standing right beside him, fixing her pearl earrings in her compact mirror and checking her purse."We'll be back in two days, Audrina," Ethan said, grinning.He didn't make a big deal out of it. He spoke like he was just going down the street for coffee, not taking a two-night business trip with my mom."Okay," I said. My throat dry.Mom kissed my cheek quickly. "Be good, sweetie. Don't ruin the house."Ethan didn't touch me. He just held my eyes for a long second, his gaze running slow over my mouth. Then he turned, opened the door, and followed my mother outside.The front door clicked shut while I stood there staring at the door. A few seconds later, their car engine started up and the tires crunched over the gravel driveway, fading off into the distance.Then the house crashed into silence.My skin prickled immediately. My stomach did a weird, sick flip. The whole place felt wrong, like someone had suck

Audrina’s POVEthan yanked my hips off the back seat. He shoved me down onto my knees on the floor. My cheek slapped hard against the cold leather seat. My ass stayed pushed up high in the air.He unbuckled his belt with one quick, sharp metallic snap, pulling his thick shaft out and shoved it right into me from behind. A loud scream ripped out of my throat. The sheer size of him stretched me wide open. My fingernails dug deep into the leather cushion as he pounded into my body."Ethan! Oh god!" I gasped out, my breath cutting short."You like it like this, don't you?" he growled. His thick fingers clamped around my hips so hard his knuckles turned white. "No one touches you. Only me."He drove into me with heavy, brutal strokes. The whole car shook under his weight. My pussy walls locked around him tightly, completely soaked with my own slick. My body gave up trying to fight it. I couldn't stop the loud, embarrassing moans spilling out of my mouth into the dark."Cum for me, Audri
