ARIAI burst into the ladiesâ washroom, my heels clicking against the tile as I rushed inside. My chest rose and fell rapidly, my hands trembling as I pressed them against the cool porcelain sink.What just happened?I squeezed my eyes shut, replaying the scene in my head.Mr Greyâso close. His body towering over mine, his warmth pressing in from all sides. The way his deep, unreadable gaze had locked onto me, like he was trying to pull me apart piece by piece. My back against the wall, his hands caging me in, the heat of his breath fanning against my lips, his exposed chest, gawd those abs I wasn't seeing but his chiseled chest.And the worst part?I had closed my eyes.Like I was waiting for him to kiss me.I let out a sharp breath, my fingers curling into fists at my sides.âWhat the hell was that?â I whispered to myself, my voice shaking.This was wrong. So wrong.Knox Grey was my boss. My boss. There was no reason for my heart to be racing like this. No reason for my legs to feel

ARIA I took a deep breath, forcing the tension from my shoulders. I needed to focus. Everything that happened earlierâthe office, the close proximity, the way Knox had trapped me against the wallânone of it mattered. It was work. Nothing else. Knox Grey was my boss. And I needed to remember that. I sat down at my desk, exhaling slowly as I pushed everything aside. Then my phone rang. I hesitated before glancing at the screen. Mr. Grey. Of course. Bracing myself, I picked up. âMy schedule.â That was all he said. Deep. Smooth. Cold. The call ended before I could respond. I stared at my phone, my fingers tightening around it. Seriously? That was it? No explanation? I shook my head, quickly pulling up his schedule. Lunch with Mr. DeLuca â Contract signing. Right. That was today. I straightened myself, pushing everything aside. ------ I stepped into the office and stopped. Marcus Reed was on his knees. His suit was wrinkled, his tie loose, his f

ARIAThe silence in the car felt heavy.Like something unspoken was pressing against the air.I kept my hands folded on my lap, my back straight while trying to pretend the tension didnât bother me.But it did.Knox sat beside me, his posture relaxed, his focus locked on his phone. He hadnât looked at me once since we got in.Not that I was expecting him to.Still, I found myself stealing glances.Just quick onesâbarely a second long. The sharp edge of his jaw, the way his fingers moved over the screen, the cold expression that never waveredI swallowed, glancing toward Mason, who was focused on the road ahead. Maybe I should say something. Anything to break this unbearable silence.But what?I stole another glance at Knox. His eyes never lifted from his phone, but his grip on it was tight.Why did it feel like he was ignoring me on purpose?The car hit a small bump, jolting me slightly. I exhaled, crossing my arms.Why is this so awkward?-------KNOX'Just a glance at her'Fenris gr

KNOX Blood Moon Clan â Council Hall Two days. Two days since I last saw her. Yet Ariaâs scent still lingered in my thoughts, an invisible thread that refused to break. But this morning, I wasnât a CEO in a black suit commanding boardrooms. I was Alpha. And here, power wasnât dictated by contracts and profits. It was in blood, fear, and the weight of a throne that only one could bear. I sat tall on the Alphaâs seat, carved from blackwood, leather-backed, raised higher than the others. Mason sat to my rightâmy Beta, my Second, and the only voice I trusted. To my left, the Lunaâs seat remained vacant, as it had been for years. Let them keep looking at it. I didnât need a Luna to rule. Seven elders sat before me, forming a half-circle. Their scents filled the roomâsmoke, age, steel. Three were bound to my fatherâs rule: Elder Ronan, Elder Hale, and Elder Greta. The other three leaned toward EdricâThird-in-Command. The kind of threat that smiled while sharpening the blad

ARIA The morning was cold, but not as cold as Wrenâs voice when she stopped me at the door. âTonight is the full moon.â Her tone was flat, sharp. âYou are to return early. No excuses. Youâre joining the hunt.â A familiar weight settled in my chest. I didnât answer. I only tightened my grip on my bag. It didnât matter if I wanted to go or notâshe had already decided for me. I nodded once. âDonât embarrass me.â And with that, she turned and left, like I wasnât even worth another glance. I let out a slow breath, trying to ignore the tightness in my throat as I walked to the bus stop. --- Work wasnât much better. It had been two days since I last saw Knox Grey. Three days since he left me standing on that sidewalk, confused and pissed. It wasnât unusual for him to disappearâbut it wasnât like him to leave without telling me. I was his PA. If he didnât come in, I was supposed to know. I was supposed to inform others, rearrange his calendar, handle things. But this?

ARIATasha didnât move. Even after my words cut through her smug little performance, she just stood there and glared. Her knuckles tightened around the folder while her lips pressed into a thin, furious line.I should have known better.The moment her heels clicked against the floor and she turned back toward me, my spine stiffened. The boldness I felt a minute ago vanished as I saw the storm brewing in her eyes. My breath hitched when she stalked toward my desk and stopped inches away.âYou must be out of your damn mind,â she hissed. âWho gave you the guts to talk back to me?âMy heart pounded hard and fast like a warning bell.She leaned in, her voice sharp enough to cut. âJust because Mr. Grey cornered you doesnât mean youâre special. Heâll get bored, and when he does, youâll be nothing but a forgotten distraction.âThe words burned, but this time, something inside me refused to shrink back. I wasnât the same girl who

But what in earth was I thinking that made me give Manson the wrong file. Gosh!'Come back early.
