Kerris POV

The interview invite came yesterday around noon. The job ad was posted anonymously. Everyone knows that when you see an ad like that, you expect it to be a small establishment that can't offer much and is too ashamed to reveal themselves to jobseekers. It turns out that that is far from the case. My invite came from Stone Corporations. I still can't believe it.

This could be luck or bad luck. I spent the last twelve hours debating whether to go or not. Here I am in front of the mirror putting on my favorite pencil skirt even though I don't particularly feel well.

I'd woken up this morning with a fever that vanished after I washed my face. The fever left and was replaced by the same restlessness from yesterday. I was also attacked by the same fleeting pain in my stomach and spine while taking a shower.

All of these things could be warning signs not to go for this interview. I'm ignoring them. Stone Corporation is huge. It would be foolish to forego this opportunity. I coul

She is understanding and kind as ever when I explain the new job offer. She agrees to adjusts the roaster, so that I now have to work the afternoon shift. It's 8:32 am when I enter the towers. I'm already late by only two minutes and nervous as hell. I can't decide whether I want to see Zach or not. I've spent the past hour rehearsing what I'll say to him. A part me dread our inevitable meeting and the conversation that will come with it. There's the terror that he may have told his nephew everything.Although, when I checked my call log earlier, there were only two missed calls from Tyrel. Plus one SMS that read: ‘Call me.’I don't intend to. The two-word text message are no indication that he has learned of my s

    Tyrel (Third-person's POV)Tyrel can not figure out what he did or said to make Emily Hart think she can show herself whenever she pleases. How can she think his misunderstanding with Kerris makes it okay for people to see them together? He decides that he must set her straight quickly. He only has energy for one greedy female in his life at a time, and that female is Kerris. Gavin doesn't follow him to the guest house. Maybe he thinks the Alpha will need privacy with the girl tonight. He won't. He's not even in the mood.Emily is sitting on the bed when he enters the room without knocking. The sheets cover her, but her bare shoulders tell him she's naked beneath all that fabric. He shuts the door behind him, and she sits up, letting the sheets slide off to reveal her perky tıts."I came to wait for you," she says with a smile. His response would have been to turn around, lock the door, take off his clothes, then join her. Not tonight. A few things are at stake. He hasn't decided o

    Kerris POV“I don't understand.”“Neither do I,” dad throws up both hands. “They have been patient with the monthly payment. I don't know what changed all of a sudden. I was there earlier, and the director won't even see me. I talked to his deputy. He said something about balancing their books before the new financial year.”When I look at the letter in my hands again, I can't help but recall the night that has just passed. The first light of dawn is just touching the windows as zach's words echo in my mind: ‘‘‘As for the job, I'll have to insist you take it. You start at 8:30...’’’ The Matron's words mingle with his; '''Fulfil your side of the agreement, and we can part ways in peace...'''It feels like I'm being laughed by the unseen hands running my life. I feel for the check in my satchel. I have vowed not to cash it, but Fate is pushing me to the wall, insisting that I accept with open arms what life is throwing at me. I set the letter aside and sit beside my father. "Dad, we'

  • Claimed by the Alpha Beast   026: Free money and a peeping wolf

    Kerris POVZach does not return to the room just like the other night. I don't expect him to. Not after seeing my face. I'm his nephew's ex. A girl he never liked. I’m horrified by all of the possible outcomes of this awful night. He will probably make this public. What will I do?My problems just keep getting bigger, doesn't it? I sit on the bed, waiting for what will happen next. Maybe he'll get them to kick me out in the middle of the night. Or he'll call Ty to send warriors to come drag me away.Time crawls by and nothing happens. I doze off at some point. What follows is a nightmare of a creature like nothing I've never seen. A werewolf but different. Its claws shimmer under the waning moonlight. They're made of iron instead of bones. His eyes give off a kaleidoscope of glittering colors and its fangs are made of metal. He stalks into the room. I wait on the bed, clutching the sheets as he advances. He is reaching out to grab me when I open my eyes with a start. The clock read

    Zach POVKerris Hart does not speak. Instead, she dips her chin, hugging the sheets tighter to herself. The last few days replay in my head now. How she refused to get a lift from me. And she turned down the job. Now I know why. She was afraid I would figure her out. She'd seen me staring at the birthmark. So I had sëx with Fruitcake? My nephew's girl?"I asked you a fücking question!”She flinches. “I…i didn't know what–”“I can't believe this. You prefer this job to getting money from your boyfriend? Your Alpha? You would rather come here than work for the Alpha King, isn't it?""It's not like that!""You saw my face that first night and said nothing! And why the fück are you covering up now? You care about modesty? Why, because I’ve seen your face?""I didn't know you're the client," she gasps."Wow.” She was hoping for another? That makes me so angry for some reason. “Are you disappointed it's me again? You hoped to try another, didn't you?""My dad was going to die!" She bark

    Zach POV'I think it's better if I wait in the lobby,' Justin links. 'Why? It's New Year's Eve. Pluck a flower, Justin. Have some fun.'‘I have a woman in my life, Zach,’ he replies impatiently.‘Right. I keep forgetting. Well, then I'll see you in a moment. I'm just here to identify the girl, that's all.’I proceed down the hall, eager to get on with the night. Soon, I reach the gallery, where girls lay sprawled on the couches waiting for their nights to begin. I adjust my mask, making sure my face is well-hidden as the girls whistle and leer at me.It seems I'm the first guest to walk into the Den tonight. It's hardly a busy night for a brothel. Times like these are when people stay at home or travel far to be with their families and loved ones. Not visit luxury brothels to get laid. Soft romantic music echoes all around when I enter the hallway leading to my own flower. The Matron halts. “Have a lovely time, My Lord,” she says and backs away.I come near the doorless room and pe
