The clock on the wall ticked past ten in the morning, but Gideon Blackwood had barely glanced at it.

His attention remained fixed on the documents spread across his mahogany desk, each page carrying another grim report of missing women, abducted children, and suspicious activities surrounding the neighboring territories. The growing stack was enough to sour his mood, but it was the latest letter from the neighboring pack that had finally pushed his patience to its limits.

    Charlie had never imagined that checking someone's calendar could be so complicated.Especially when that someone happened to be Gideon Blakewell.She sat behind the large mahogany desk in his private office, her laptop open, a leather-bound planner beside it, and several folders scattered across the polished surface. Her brows were furrowed as she attempted to make sense of the endless appointments, meeting schedules, and documents that seemed to have no particular order.There were meetings with neighbouring pack representatives, business associates, security personnel, and what appeared to be several confidential gatherings that required her to sign off on nothing but the scheduling arrangements.She rubbed her forehead."Good heavens. Does this man ever sleep?"A soft chuckle came from beside her."Not particularly."Charlie looked up to find Erica standing there with two cups of coffee. The blonde woman placed one beside her laptop before pulling out the chair opposite her."Here

    "Well?"Charlie returned to the couch."Well, what?""Your first introduction to the office.""Thrilling."He chuckled.She picked up a decorative cushion and placed it on her lap."Why do you still need me here when you have someone like her?"Gideon raised an eyebrow."Someone like her?""Yes. Someone competent. Someone who already knows how to do your job. Someone who clearly enjoys being around you."He stared at her.Then his lips curved."Are you jealous, sweetheart?"Charlie looked up sharply."Excuse me?""You're jealous.""I'm not.""Your wolf disagrees."Her eyes widened."Don't bring my wolf into this.""She's been growling at Erica since she walked through the door."Charlie's face warmed."That's ridiculous.""Is it?""Yes."Gideon approached the couch, his hands slipping into his trouser pockets."Then why are you asking why I need you when I already have Erica?""Because it's a perfectly reasonable question.""Is it?""Yes. And frankly, I find it rather rude that you ex

    CHAPTER — THE ALPHA'S SECRETARYCharlotte Hayes had never felt more out of place in an office.Especially not one belonging to Gideon Blakewell.She sat stiffly on the luxurious leather couch positioned opposite his enormous desk, her legs crossed elegantly at the ankles. Her fingers played with the delicate gold bracelet around her wrist, an unconscious habit she had developed over the past hour.Gideon had insisted that she dress appropriately for her new position.Apparently, his idea of appropriate involved Ralph Lauren.The outfit was undeniably beautiful. A tailored Ralph Lauren blouse tucked neatly into a fitted skirt, its elegant cut accentuating her slim figure while maintaining a sophisticated, professional appearance. The understated heels and delicate jewellery completed the look.Her curls cascaded over her shoulders, framing her face and softening the sharpness of her expression. She had left it loose, allowing the natural waves to fall down her back.She looked elegant.

  • Blackmailing The Alpha's Beloved Bride   Chapter 19 : Who is he to you?

    She had spent years believing that her father had been a ruthless man, a powerful figure who had made enemies and ultimately paid for his cruelty. But there were details she had never understood. The brutality of his death. The men who had turned against him. The orphans he had raised alongside Gideon, boys who had grown into powerful wolves and joined forces to annihilate the very man who had once taken them into his home. It had always seemed excessive. Gideon had wanted the throne. That much was obvious. But wanting power did not explain everything. It did not explain why he had tortured the man who raised him before cutting off his head. It did not explain why he had ripped out his heart. And it certainly did not explain the expression Jameson had worn when he spoke about the past. Charlie lifted her gaze. "Gideon?" He looked at her. "What is it?" She hesitated. For the first time since their argument began, her curiosity outweighed her anger. "What did my father

  • Blackmailing The Alpha's Beloved Bride   Chapter 18 : Story of Leonard

    Gideon's face had gone still. Charlie could almost hear the gears turning in his mind. She had said too much. But perhaps it was time he understood that Leonard had never been a rival she had chosen to spite him. He had been a refuge. A place to breathe. A chance to be ordinary. Gideon looked away first. "I haven't killed him," he said, "because of you." Charlie stared at him. "What?" "Leonard." Gideon turned back to her. "The only reason that man is still alive is because I know what it would do to you if I killed him." Her blood ran cold. "You wouldn't." "Don't make the mistake of thinking I wouldn't." "Gideon—" "I could have ended his life the moment I found out who he was to you. I could have torn him apart before he had the chance to speak. And do you know what stopped me?" She said nothing. "You." His voice dropped. "I could endure your anger, Charlie. I could endure you screaming at me, cursing me, or refusing to look at me for the rest of your life. But I r

    "What did you just say?""You heard me."She rose so abruptly that her chair scraped against the floor."You're threatening to keep me away from my daughter?""I'm telling you that if you insist on disregarding my judgment, I cannot trust you to make decisions that concern her safety.""She's my daughter!""She's mine too.""And you think that gives you the right to use her against me?"His jaw tightened."I am not using her against you.""Then what would you call this?""An attempt to make you understand the seriousness of your situation."Charlie let out a short, broken laugh."You're unbelievable.""Sit down, Charlie.""No.""Charlotte.""Don't you dare use that voice with me!"Her hands were shaking now.She hated it.Hated that he could still reduce her to this—a woman standing in front of him, struggling to contain emotions she had spent six years learning to hide.But it wasn't his anger that frightened her.It was Willow.Willow, who had once fallen asleep in her arms every ni
