Charia's PovThe first thing that woke me up was the cries and beatings of Zara's son, Jacob. I woke up to find him standing beside me and whacking me with his little hands to wake me up. When my eyes were opened, he suddenly stopped crying, he walked over to his mother who was on the other mattress."I'm so sorry, Charia. Jacob can be very annoying" she said putting makeup on her face, she seemed to be in a rush. "His teacher would pick him up soon, you don't have to worry. You can get a better sleep when he's gone"I stretched my hands towards Jacob. "Hi Jacob" I smiled widely and motioned for him to come closer, he was hesitant at first but eventually he walked towards me. "You're so handsome, Jacob." I played with his cheek and face. He laughed at my gestures and my heart was filled with warmness."Who..yoh..mama?" Jacob said pointing at me and then at his mother. I didn't quite understand baby languages, but I could read the air. It was the first time he was seeing me, he was bou
Alpha Ryder's PovI made a fool of myself at Alpha Lugard's house and I was furious that I experienced such a horrible scene. He had listened to my request when I growled for all the women in his household to be brought out to my front. But none of them looked like her, had a scent like her. Even the rest of the Alphas almost concluded that I was mentally down and I needed rest.How did that happen? Was she present at the pack meeting, why couldn't I find her, why did I smell her, was it all in my head?I tried to erase every thought in my head to focus on the conference table where I sat at the head, surrounded by different pack colleagues. We were discussing the state of the business, I owned a successful company that specialized in hunting and tracking gear for other predators.The company was known for the best equipment production, I had intelligent wolves who were in charge of bringing new ideas on what can be used for the wild wolves, safety wolf gadgets for camping and holiday
Charia's Pov"I assure you that this is the best ice cream you would ever taste in your entire existence," Ice said. "Of course" I agreed with him, licking off the sweetness of the cream. Back at home, I don't even get treated with something as good as this."So, where did you say you come from?" Ice asked me. We had earlier taken a walk down the street for some ice cream as he said. I was happy about his kind gesture, but I still felt he had a prank to play on me in return too. We were taking a walk back home and we engaged in a conversation."I came from a very strict family. My father is so popular and rich" I boasted."Haha," he laughed scooping more ice cream into his mouth. "It's either your father is Alpha Lugard, Alpha Ryder, and Alpha Garry. If it isn't any of these three, then you are as well a middle-class or lower class like any of us""I'll be dreaming to be a family member of the top three Alphas," I said. There was no way I was claiming the top Alpha of the town as my
Charia's Pov"Tell me about it!" Zara laughed after we explained what happened to me earlier in the day. "I'm glad Ice rescued you though, he might be an asshole, but he has a good heart"I looked over to Ice who made a disgusted face. "His good heart just makes me wanna stay longer" I teased and he made a puking face."Urg. Don't you dare? I still don't want you around, stranger.""You can't run away from her too long. Charia is a good kid, I can feel it from her body. Anyways, I saw this coffee/errand job application at my office and wondered if you were interested. The pay is quite good for starters" Zara said to me."You want her to work with us too?" Ice said clearly offended. "No privacy?""I won't take the job" I quickly said so as not to offend anyone. I'll just stay here till I find something to do."No. I disagree" Zara said to me. "We are the ones that rescued you and we know what you are, there's no better place to be than with us, we'll keep you safe Charia""I don't want
Charia's PovA week later------------------------------------All the staff in the company ran helter-skelter, their heads down and no one answered any of my questions. Even Ice wouldn't even bother to say a word to me. He said he was extremely busy and so were the other staff. I didn't mind because last week it was generally announced how busy today was going to be, the head of different companies was going to have a board meeting which would strongly determine the fate of our company. We've been embarking on a project and the approval of other CEOs would determine the fate of the workers too. Everyone was putting in their best just to be impressive.As the coffee girl, I wasn't assigned any duty, so I just watched the drama going on. I wanted to be of assistance but there was really nothing for me to do. A few minutes later, Zara rushed over to my cubicle. "We need to go," she said as she dragged me. I asked her where, but she didn't say a word till we got to the restroom. She pic
Alpha Ryder's POVI was running mad once more when I noticed that scent. 'Not here Ryder, Not here' I had told myself. I was in an important meeting and smelling the mystery girl wasn't even the right choice. It was just going to make me lose all focus and concentration. This was not the right place or right time to fantasize about her again. Her scent registered to my nose and was getting me crazy, how is it possible that I can smell her here once again? I brought out an inhaler from my breast pocket. Emily handed me one when I complained about having the wrong scent. She made it with her sweat and throughout the week it had helped me smell her instead. I put the inhaler in my nose and breathe in Emily's scent. It was refreshing as always and I would need to have it with me to be able to finish the meeting."We don't see you often and seeing you at this meeting is very special to us, Alpha Ryder," the company owner said and I smiled."It's always my pleasure to be around good things
Charia's PovI faced the wall, buried in embarrassment. Not only did I meet my worst nightmare today, but it happened again…he kissed me, just like that night and I wanted it, I wanted more of him. I couldn't bear to look so weak in front of Alpha Ryder, he was taking it so easy on me and I was missing my chance. He had not sent any of his guards to take me hostage, I was still at his mercy. The best thing to do was tell him the truth, tell him it was Alpha Lugard, my father that sent me to kill him. I didn't want a war to break out, and neither did I want to break my father's heart. I would keep the secret to my grave if that would be the only thing my father would be proud of.I just needed to get away from Alpha Ryder today also, but I didn't think he was going to let me go today now that he had me. I feel his presence when he walked towards me and when he hugged me from the back, I froze.I feel his hardness, the same thing he showed me the other time. His Alpha manhood, I feel it
Alpha Ryder's Pov_______________"That's good news, Alpha Ryder" Peter burst out laughing when I joined him in my car at the parking lot of the company and told him what just happened inside. Of course, I missed the elevator part. He insisted that he looked for Charia instead and bring her to my feet, but I hesitated. Charia wouldn't tell me the truth about her mission. Neither would she give me any clue, but by sharing my scent with her, in a few days, she would be so restless that she has to look for me. This time around, I'll put her in a desperate situation where she would have no choice but tell me the truth.But I was giddy like a baby, recalling what happened at the elevator. I finally got close to her, to the woman of my dreams, to the lady of that night. She smelled nice, looked stunning, and would taste nice. She was different from all the ladies I have ever met."Let's leave," I said to Peter, who started the engine of the car. I looked out the window and then saw Charia.
