I set the tablet aside and placed the marketing file neatly on his desk. Sliding it closer, I said, “Here’s everything for the nine o’clock review — campaign visuals, reports, and the creative briefs from the team.”

He didn’t even glance up, already typing something on his laptop. Typical. The man could multitask between a crisis, a conference call, and an apocalypse and still look like it was just another morning meeting.

“I’ll be in my office if you need me,” I added quietly. He said nothing and I took that as permission to leave.

Settling at my desk, I turned on my system and started prepping notes for the upcoming conference call with Mr. Hale. By the time the call began, I had my notepad and tablet ready, and I returned to his office five minutes early.

“Close the door,” he instructed the second I stepped in.

I complied and took the small seat tucked near the corner of his desk. His laptop screen flickered as the conference line connected. Knox adjusted his cufflinks, face c

    ARIABy the time we got back to the office, the sun was already dipping behind the city skyline. I was halfway through sorting out emails when Knox entered my office.“Get your things. We’re leaving.”I looked up from my desk, confused. “Leaving for what?”“The gala,” he said, already buttoning his jacket.“Oh—right.” I stood quickly. “I’ll just rush home and change—”“No.” His tone was firm “There’s no time. You’re representing Grey Enterprise tonight, and you need to look the part.”“I have clothes,” I replied but he gave me a flat look that said not good enough. And that was that.The drive to the boutique was quiet, just the low hum of the engine and his calm breathing beside me. When the car stopped, I stared out the window at the elegant gold letters glowing above the glass doors. Maison DeLuxe.Of course, this was where he shopped.Inside, the place smelled of expensive perfume and polished wood. The staff practically glided toward him, greeting him like a king. Within minutes,

    ARIAThe alarm rang, dragging me out of a fitful sleep. I rolled over, squinting at the bright digits, and groaned. My stomach twisted unpleasantly, reminding me of last night’s regrettable choice. Never, ever — not even for Mr. Grey — should I have eaten something so unhealthy. I’d woken up more times than I could count, running back and forth to the bathroom.Dragging myself upright, I clutched my stomach, wincing, and shuffled to the bathroom. My reflection in the mirror was… a mess. Hair sticking out at impossible angles, eyes half-lidded, skin blotchy from restless sleep. I brushed my teeth and splashed my face with cold water, hoping some of the fog would lift.Shower done, I dressed quickly. I settled on a black leather pencil skirt with a sharp front slit, paired with a brown sleeveless turtleneck and black boots. A slim belt cinched it all together. Looking at my reflection, I paused. The clothes fit perfectly. The first time I was hear, the clothes were all slightly bigger.

    ARIAThe telephone buzzed beside me, breaking the silence that had been stretching on for what felt like forever. I jumped a little. Only one person ever called me through that line. I pressed the button, trying to steady my voice. “Yes, Mr. Grey?”“Come to my office.” That deep voice—steady, commanding, and impossible to ignore—cut off before I could even answer.Straightening my skirt, I made my way to his office. I opened the door and there he was—leaning back in his chair, eyes fixed on the screen in front of him. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, veins visible on his forearms, as he typed.He didn’t look up to acknowledge my presence like he didn't know I was here. I told myself not to stare. I really did. But my eyes had other plans. His brows were perfectly shaped, dark and full. Those sharp cheekbones, the faint stubble along his jaw that made him look a little too good for a human. Yeah, he's not human but a werewolf.And then, the open collar. Three buttons undone we

    ARIAMy heart was pounding too fast, each beat echoing in my ears. I could barely catch my breath. His question — What was so funny? — wouldn’t stop circling in my head. I didn’t even know how to answer, or if I should.My gaze flicked from his face to his chest, to the steady rise and fall that only made my pulse stumble harder. Why is he asking me this? He’s my boss. He shouldn’t care.I tried to pull away, but his hand didn’t move. His grip wasn’t harsh — just unyielding, like he was daring me to challenge him.“Mr. Grey, this isn’t right,” I finally managed, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. “You can’t just ask me that. It’s… personal. And besides, you’re my boss. You can’t corner me like this — it’s unprofessional.”I surprised even myself. The timid version of me would’ve just stood there, frozen, replaying the scene later in my head and wishing I’d said something. But not this time.A lot has happened. Too much, actually. Finding out that my boss — the man standi

    ARIAThe walk back to the office with Caleb was quiet but easy.The sun had shifted behind thin clouds, softening the heat. I thanked him for the food with a genuine smile—one of the few real ones I’d had in days.“You’re welcome,” he said. “Anytime. You look less haunted now. Slightly.”“Slightly’s better than nothing,” I muttered.He winked and peeled off toward his department while I turned for mine, sipping the last of my soda. The lightness in my chest started to fade as soon as I walked back in.I sat at my desk, reached for my phone—And froze.Three missed calls.All from Knox.My chest tightened instantly, like a rope pulling inward. The screen glared up at me with his name stamped in bold, silent letters. Three missed calls.Why would he call me?My throat dried up.He’d called me?After everything that had happened earlier—the intensity of his gaze, that pull I couldn’t explain, the way my skin had burned where he looked?Why would he call?A dozen wild thoughts fired in my
