Chapter 1.

Skylar.

“Ahh fuck…harder…” I moaned as my boss penetrated me from behind. My fingers dug into the plush leather couch in his office as his massive rod pistoned my pussy.

“Fuck…it always feels like the first time with you…” he grunted behind me, holding my butt cheeks tightly.

My nipples grazed the couch, adding to the ecstatic feeling coursing through my veins.

“Ohh Conrad…harder, I'm almost there…” I said, moaning louder with each thrust from him.

“I'm almost there too…fuck!” He grunted, falling on my back but kept drilling me.

I could feel his cock enlarging inside me.

My toes curled as a massive orgasm hit me, my entire body gyrated violently and it felt like I had a seizure.

But it was just a fucking amazing orgasm.

My head turned upward, my eyes shut as I rode out my orgasm.

Then out of nowhere, “Mate!” I moaned.

“Ahhh…” Conrad breathed as he fell fully on top of me.

I remained still, still shocked from my unexpected outburst. What the hell was that?

“Fuck, Skylar, that was intense. Too bad it's our last time.” Conrad said as he rolled off me.

I turned onto my back and looked straight at the ceiling, not saying a word.

“Hey, Skylar, we talked about this, right? We can't continue doing this, I'm getting married…”

“Oh no! I get that, it's just…” I faced him, looking straight into his dazzling blue eyes. The warmth I've never felt towards him began to spread over my chest.

“I'm going to miss you.” I whispered, not knowing when I palmed his face.

Conrad chuckled and stood up. “Or you're gonna miss my cock.”

I watched him grab his underwear and pull them on.

“Yeah, your beautiful cock. That's what I'll miss.” I said quickly as I sat up and found my bra.

Did he really not feel the bond? What's going on?

“I can't believe you're getting married today.” I said as I dressed up.

“I know, right. I still haven't met her yet, my soon-to-be wife.” I turned to him with a worried expression.

“My grandparents won't allow that until the ceremony.” He said.

I balled my fists, suddenly, the idea of him getting married to someone unknown irritated me. And he told me this two weeks ago.

“Anyway, I've got a conference meeting in ten minutes so I'll…see you later?” he said, giving me a small smile.

My heart skipped just watching him. As I kept my eyes on him, it felt as though I shouldn't leave his presence. I wanted him.

I jumped towards him, tiptoed to meet his six feet plus frame and planted my lips on his. I kissed him like it was my last chance, which technically, was. I was almost lost in the feeling that I had to push myself off him.

“Happy married life, Conrad Reign.” I said and waited for no response before leaving his office with my files.

It hurt me to leave. Part of me wanted to believe there was a mate bond between us and the other part just knew I must be mistaken. He didn't feel the bond, so it doesn't exist.

But I'd miss him…a lot.

Even before today, Conrad is the only person who's shown the slightest form of care towards me, even though most of it was while his dick was buried deep inside me.

But what could a twenty one year old girl who's been fending for herself ever since she was sent away from her pack at the tender age of fourteen.

I have been beaten, sold, used and even maltreated by people who weren't even related to me. But I had been determined. Determined to not allow my struggles define my life.

I got my first job at age fifteen, at a local bar, where I earned titbits for wages. Then that same year, I'd gathered enough money to continue high school. 

However, things were still tough. Due to lack of enough money, I had to drop out multiple times. Only returning when I'd saved enough money.

That's why my education is slow. At age twenty one, I was just in my final year of high school. Most of my mates were in their second year of college.

I checked out of Reign's Tech Industry, where I worked for my summer internship. Luckily, it was a paid internship so I didn't have to work my ass off for nothing.

I walked down to the next six blocks to start my second job at a middle class restaurant in the neighbourhood.

“Hey Skylar, you're early. How's work?” Oscar, my co-worker asked as I walked in.

I only gave him a feigned smile, knowing he was saying that to mock me.

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Smith.” I greeted the restaurant manager but she didn't respond.

She did that a lot. I suspect she's been looking for reasons to fire me but I've been sure never to give her one. I always arrive early, I make no mistakes on duty and I was always nice to the customers.

If anything I deserved a raise.

For the next four hours, I worked my ass off. Receiving orders from customers and serving them with a smile that was mandatory.

I heaved a sigh as I finally got the chance to rest. It was my break time and I had just twenty minutes to relax.

I needed some air. As I made my way out of the restaurant, I overheard a couple chatting freely.

“I'm so happy we finally became mates, Lyra! I feel like we're privileged, getting mated on the same day Alpha Conrad will be getting mated too!”

The man's words made me screech to a halt. I turned back, my eyes widened.

Did he just say Alpha Conrad?

I didn't hesitate to walk up to him. Conrad has been on my mind all day despite my efforts to try and get him out of my mind.

“Excuse me, I overheard you guys talking. Congratulations on becoming mates.” I said with the warmest smile I could muster.

They still looked puzzled.

“I'm sorry did I just hear you say Alpha Conrad? As in Conrad Reign?” I asked.

The man reluctantly nodded. “He's getting mated tonight and his coronation will also be done tonight.”

My ears rang out, my heart flared with anger. So he wasn't just getting married, he was getting mated! Then why did he pretend not to feel our bond?

“I'm sorry, what's the venue of the ceremony?” I asked.

“Mealstrom Pack Hall. The place is gonna be filled up, even members of their allied packs are obligated to attend.” The man said and only stopped when his mate placed her hand on his.

Maelstrom pack? That's like the most powerful pack in the country. No, it was THE most powerful pack in the country.

And Conrad is going to become its Alpha?

“If you want to attend, you can come with us. That's where we're going after our dinner.” The man offered.
