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 POVI’d just stepped out of the bathroom, damp and exhausted, wanting nothing more than a nap. I was standing by the edge of the bed, mid-change, when the click of the doorknob cut through the quiet. Ethan walked in."My towel fell to the floor soon as he walked in. I was completely naked. Ethan did not look away away. his grey eyes tracking the water droplets on my skin. His voice was flat, dangerously cold. He turned his head away, staring at the empty wall beside the dresser. His neck went tight."Audrina," he said, facing the wall. His voice was flat, totally stripped of emotion. "There is a gala tonight. You're coming with me."He could have texted me. He could have knocked before walking in here. If he did, maybe I would have put on my clothes. But he didn't. He wants me to know he can enter whenever he likes.I didn't rush to cover myself. I took my time and stood there and watched the tension move through his shoulders from across the room."What gala?" I asked, my v

Audrina’s POV In the middle of the night. I rolled over the other side of the bed, my hand searching for Ethan. I opened my eyes to an empty sheet. The room was empty, I scanned the room again, still nothing. I sat down and hissed.He promised.He told me he would stay with me the whole night today. But the second I fell asleep , he crept right out. Where the fuck was he? My mom was on a twelve-hour night shift at the hospital, so she wouldn't be back until five in the morning. He had no excuse tonight.My stomach growled. The alcohol from the party had completely burnt off, leaving me starving. Giving him a blow job for twenty minutes wasn't an easy thing, and my jaw still ached from how deep he drove his cock down my throat. I could still taste him on my tongue.I pulled on a massive, oversized sweater and walked out into the hallway.The house was dead quiet, but a thin line of yellow light was cutting across the floor downstairs.I walked down the steps barefoot.Ethan was sittin

Audrina’s POV“I want your mouth on me,” he murmured. “Take everything. You own me now.”I looked up at him, my heart thundering in my ears. My hands were trembling so hard I could barely grip the leather of his belt. I’d never done this before. How was I supposed to fuck him with my mouth?“Don’t shake, BABY GIRL. It's not going to bite you.” Ethan’s voice came out low as he stroked my cheeks. I licked my lower lip at the feelings, warmth that his hand brought to me. He then stood up, watching me as I bent onto my knees and pulled his trousers and boxers down so slowly.I let out a soft breath as his fingers suddenly pinched my nipple causing an indescribable pleasure that was overwhelming. I gasped for air as it continued the soft touch making me feel like I would drown in the euphoria that made my toes curl as a deep heat pooled in my stomach. My breathing turned shallow and labored. I watched his thumb circle the peak of my breast, leaving a trail of goosebumps down my arms. I loo

Audrina’s POV“You want to party? I’II take you to one. Just have fun when we get there.” Ethan said. His eyes were fixed on mine, hard and unmoving.I blinked, feeling the heat rise in my chest. “What is this all about, Ethan? Are you stalking me now? How did you get to know this place? Is this some kind of twisted joke?” I looked around the street, feeling exposed.“With all due respect, just leave. I’m going in there to see my friends, please leave because I’m not going with you.”“Audrina!” he screamed. The sound of my name made me jump. He stepped forward and grabbed my hands, pulling me towards the black car parked at the curb. “Don’t make a scene out here.” His grip was tight, his fingers digging into my skin.“If you don’t want a scene here then give me my space,” I said.“I will give you that space only when…”“When what?” I asked but he suddenly looked away.“You want to party? I will take you to one,” he said after a brief silence.“No, until you tell me exactly when you wi

Audrina’s POV"I don't want to ever see you near any man going forward. Starting today, I'm giving you a personal driver."What?I blinked. I actually stood there and blinked like I had not heard him correctly, like maybe I had misunderstood. But no. He had said exactly what he said, and the worst part was the calm in his voice. No hesitation. Like it was already decided and my opinion on the matter had never once crossed his mind.“You don’t get to control me wherever I go, Ethan," I said, my voice trembling. Last I checked, Ethan had avoided me for a few days, telling me I was an adult and that I should learn to control my emotions. The audacity of that still stayed with me. He had said it so unbothered, and then disappeared like he hadn’t just turned my whole world sideways. Now here he was again, back to giving orders."I want a breakup," I demanded.Ethan stood up, putting on a shirt. "You can't break up until I say so, my baby girl. Don't pretend you haven't been enjoying what w

Audrina’s POVI lay on my bed, hands clutching my teddy to my chest. The feeling of Ethan’s knee against mine kept playing in my mind. I placed my chin on the top of the teddy, hugging it tighter.Downstairs, Victor had cornered Ethan in the study after dinner. I didn't know exactly what he said, but I knew what was said, because when Victor left the study, his face carried the expression of someone who had delivered a warning to a man too far gone to take it. I grin at the teddy. I would not make it easy for Ethan if he tried to deny what existed between us.My phone rang, interrupting the silence. I pulled it out and frowned. It was Max."Hello?" I said.Max giggled on the other end. "Hello, Audrina. You have been avoiding my calls. Why?"I rolled my eyes, already picturing what lie I needed to tell. "Why are you being so protective? My phone screen got broken and I just got it repaired. My mother had to take it to the engineer herself.""Okay," Max said, sounding like he believed m
