Alpha Marcus: Bound To His Hybrid Secretary

SELENA “What did you mean by who sent me?” I asked, confused and trembling. “Sir, I don't understand what you are saying. And please can you move back? you are hurting me.” What's going on? His eyes suddenly shifted to glowing gold. My breath caught, and he looked even angrier as if my answer didn't satisfy him.“Don’t play smart with me,” he said, and a low, unfamiliar growl rumbled from his chest, vibrating through the air and making my skin prickle. His muscles tensed beneath his shirt as if he were struggling to hold something back, something wild. For a moment, it didn’t feel like Marcus was the one standing in front of me. It felt like something or someone looking at me through his eyes, evaluating me, judging me, wanting something from me that I couldn’t understand.“For goodness sake, answer the damn question, who sent you? Why am I attracted to you from the first moment I saw you? Why can't I stop thinking about you? And now I felt the spark one I was only supposed to feel

Chapter 4 SELENA POV I stared at my phone screen, my heart racing like a jackrabbit on steroids. “Oh, my goodness, this can't be true” I exclaimed, my voice echoing through the small living room. I immediately closed the email and clicked on it again to be sure I wasn't seeing things, my eyes scanning the words as if they were a golden ticket to a better life.Lycaon Enterprises@gmail.com"Dear Miss Selena Isolde,We are pleased to inform you that your application has been selected for an interview at the Lycaon Enterprise.The words danced on the screen, taunting me with the promises of a brighter future. This was it, the chance to escape the dullness and my boring life and start anew. I can't believe this. If I was chosen, my life would change forever. I had mentally and emotionally prepared for this moment several times, but nothing could have prepared me for the rush of excitement coursing through my veins. I am so happy.“Selena” I felt someone shaking me. I look up to see Is

SELENA POV I sat down next to Isabella, my heart racing as I put the phone on speaker. The soft glow of the phone screen cast a pale light on our faces, and I could feel Isabella's concerned gaze on me.“Am seated now, Liam, what is it?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.The phone crackled, and Liam's voice came through, low and serious. “It is the result of your biological parents' investigation,” I felt a shiver run down my spine as I leaned forward, my hands clenched into fists. “What’s the result?” I asked in a rush.The silence on the phone felt suffocating. My heart thudded so loudly I could hear it echoing in my ears. Even the ticking clock on the wall seemed to pause, as if the entire room was waiting for Liam’s next words. I could feel my palms growing clammy, sweat beading across my forehead despite the cool air drifting from the AC.A knot tightened in my stomach as an uneasy coldness crept through my chest. Part of me wished he would just say it, whatever it was s

The moment I pushed open the front door, the air in the apartment shifted. At first, I thought the soft sounds drifting from the living room were from the TV. But as I stepped inside and the door clicked shut behind me, I froze.Liam, shirtless, half-naked and Isabella were tangled together on the couch, lips locked, bodies pressed so close there was barely space for air between them. His hand was already sliding up her thigh. Hers was fisted in his hair. They were almost about to have sex. Not almost. They were seconds away. If I had walked in a minute later, they would’ve been fully at it.They must have heard the door because they sprang apart like guilty teenagers caught by their parents. Isabella yelped and practically leapt off Liam’s lap, her face burning red. Liam sat up straight, clearing his throat, pretending and failing to act normal.“Uh, hi,” I managed to say out loud.“Selena, hi,” Isabella stammered, shoving her hair back and trying to look composed. She did not succee

Marcus povAs soon as I left Selena standing there, I could still smell her fear through her scent. I ran straight into the nearest forest and shifted into my Lycan form and headed towards the direction of my house. Branches whipped past me as I sprinted through the darkness, trying, failing, to outrun the chaos clawing inside me.Why her? Why did I have to go to her?I felt drawn to her the moment I first saw her. I still remember the way she looked at me shocked and when she asked if I was a god or a human. She looked so serious and so adorably wrong. And the moment she whispered it, I felt something warm in my chest, something dangerous. She thought I was handsome. She had no idea what that did to me.I noticed all her movements during the interview too. The way she tried to be calm, the way she watched every movement I made. She was adorable. Too adorable.My Lycan, Rylan liked her even more. He wanted her constantly. He wanted to be near her. He wanted to guard her. He wanted to
