Chapter five.

Rhea opened her eyes, she felt so relaxed, her body laying on something so soft that it could keep her asleep for a long time, she sat up looking around. She was in a room, it was big and spacious with a bed, beside the bed was a dresser. It was painted in white, looks simple and nice.

She quinted her eyes as the light from the window shone on her face. It was morning, she walked into the bathroom, wow it was nice and clean, the painting were white, the tiles were white, everything in this bathroom was white, she took a brush and brushed her teeth then took a nice clean shower.

She stepped out of the bathroom, there was a mini desk area in front of the window, there was a neatly folded clothes on it. Rhea quickly put them on, it was a nice knee length dress, black in color, it was nice and fitting.

Rhea looked at herself in the mirror, her silver eyes catching her attention, she sighed, she remembered all that happened the day before.

She walked out of the room and descended down the stairs, she still admired the living area, it ten times bigger than her whole house in the village. 

"You're awake." Someone said and she turned to look at Kael. His back leaned on the edge of the dining table, he folded his arms, Rhea simply nodded not knowing what to say.

"Come sit." He said, Rhea walked towards him, he pulled out the chair and she sat on it, in front of her was a bowl of food, fried rice mixed with beef, there was a glass of water beside the plate.

Rhea picked up her spoon, the food looked very delicious, she took a first bite and was blown away, the mixture of flavours exploded in her mouth, within seconds she finished the whole plate.

"You must be really hungry, here." Kael said handling her a tissue paper, she took it from him then wiped her lips.

"Thank you." Rhea said in a low voice, just then Kieran walked down the stairs, everything about him screams perfection, the way he walks, he walked like as if he's the owner of this world, carrying himself with elegance.

He was dressed in black office trouser and white shirt, his black hair was styled nicely, some strands of hair falling down his forehead, he was a very handsome man and he knew it.

Rhea quickly looked away when he stopped in front of the table, he took a seat, his food in front of him. He after quietly, his scent quickly filling the room, he smell nice but there was something dangerous attached to it.

"What's your name?" Kael asked with a smile, Rhea some what knew she was going to be more comfortable with the brown haired guy, he looked nice.

"Rhea." Rhea said shortly. "You guys aren't humans." She added almost immediately.

"How can you tell?" Kael asked. "I feel it, a powerful aura emanating from you both." Rhea said.

"You're right, we are werewolves, I'm kael a beta and this is Kieran, he's the Alpha of our pack." Kael said, Rhea looked at Kieran, his name sounding oddly familiar. 

"Have you heard of it?" Kael asked and she nodded. 

"I have but I don't remember where." Rhea said. No wonder he carries himself like that, he is the Alpha of his pack, the strongest member of them all, Skilled in everything. 

"Well nice to meet you Rhea." Kael said and she smiled back. Kieran looked at his watch, he stood up taking his Tux jacket.

"We need to leave, just relax okay and don't open the door for anyone." Kael said and Rhea nodded, both men walked out of the house leaving just Rhea. 

Rhea took the plate to the kitchen and began washing them, suddenly a memory popped up, 

Flash back 

Rhea walked into the kitchen where her mum was busy doing the dishes. 

"Mum how many times do I have to tell your not to do the dishes." Rhea said, she placed her hands on her waist.

"Oh come on Rhea, I can't just sit around doing nothing." Her mum said, Rhea rolled up her sleeve and joined her mother, just them she felt water splash on face.

"Mum!" She said but another water hit her face, Rhea retaliated and they both laughed, 

End of flash back 

Rhea fell to the ground, heavy tears fell from her eyes, she cried in pain, from her knowledge this was the second life she was loosing, a second family, if they hadn't found her, they would have been happy. 

Evening

Rhea sat in the sofa watching a movie, she made sure everywhere was neat and spotless. She heard the door open and Kieran walked in. 

She quickly stood up and bowed her head, Kieran who took of his shoes didn't even look at her, he walked away.

"Alpha... Can I, um thank you for helping me." She said, she was expecting a reply but non, instead he stopped walking, he turned to look at her, he walked towards her, Rhea didn't know what he wanted so she took a step back, he looked as if he was angry.

Rhea stopped when her back his the wall, Kieran was just an inch away from her, his aura was very intimidating, she wanted to leave but he block her by placing his hand on the wall, his tall figure towering over her.

His second hand held her chin raising her up to meet his gaze, Rhea's heart was beating so fast, his gaze was intense and burning. Their faces were inches apart, she could feel his hot breath fanning her face.

"Listen, don't even try to be nice or comfortable around me, I am a very difficult man to stay with, don't cross path with me or I could snap that pretty head off your body." Kieran said it in  a low threatening way, his deep voice wasn't helping the situation either, it only sent shivers down her spine. 

Rhea swallowed the lump in her throat, that gesture made Kieran's eyes move to her lips, she wondered what he wanted to do, his thump brushed past her lips, this gesture made Rhea melt, his presence was really affecting her.

He moved away from her and walked towards the stairs but he stopped.

"Keep in mind, you made a deal with the devil." With that he walked away leaving Rhea in complete fear, she was almost shaking, her heart beating fast.

Walking into her office, she smiled.“I missed you,” she said before sitting down. First things first, she checked his schedule and the rest of the files. Then, she carried his morning cup of coffee to his office.He told her to come in, and she did. There was this air around them, not too awkward, but a little tense. She set the coffee down in front of him.“Your morning coffee, sir,” she said.“Thanks,” he replied, and it made her smile.He pointed to a small file on the table.“Sort this out.”Rhea picked it up and frowned a little. It was smaller than what she normally handled.“Is there any problem?” he asked.Rhea shook her head. “No. I’ll work on this.”She turned around and walked toward the door, but

    Chapter forty nine. It was morning... Rhea opened her eyes. She wouldn't say she felt Okay but at least better then yesterday. She got up to do the necessary and after dressing, a knee length dress, she walked down the stairs. She was exhausted and still weak, she paused when she got to the living room, she caught a rare sight of Kieran, he placed the food on the table—he can cook? She asked herself. As if sensing her gaze, he turned around. He was dressed in his usual office outift—grey trouser and white office shirt. "You're up." He said and Rhea nodded. She walked towards the dining table and sat down. "How do you feel?" He asked, placing a cup of water beside her food. "Better I guess." Rhea said though he didn't fail to notice the strain in her voice. He sat down opposite her. "You can take the week off, get better." Rhea took a bite and wow even though her mouth felt bitter, she could still feel the taste of the food, that shows how good it is. "I'm fine, I can resume w

    Chapter Forty-EightAnna and the doctor walked into the room just in time to witness something unexpected—Rhea, unconscious, held tightly in Kieran’s arms. His hand was on her back, patting her awkwardly, clearly unsure of what to do.“Rhea,” he called gently, but there was no response.Concerned, he slowly pulled her away from his chest, only to discover that she had fainted again. Alarmed, the doctor sprang into action, rushing over and guiding Kieran to lay her down gently on the hospital bed.He checked her pulse and heartbeat immediately, his expression tight with focus. While the doctor worked quickly, Kieran stood beside her, watching every movement carefully. But something else caught his attention—a mark on her shoulder.He had seen it before, vaguely, but now the design was clearer than ever. As he stared at it, an image surfaced in his mind—sudden, uninvited, and vivid. It left him momentarily speechless.Later, Kieran and Anna stepped out of the hospital ward. Just then, K

    Chapter Forty-SevenThe room fell silent as Rhea resumed her presentation. Despite the tension earlier, her voice remained steady, her points clear and convincing. Kieran gave his final thoughts and conclusions once she finished, commending the detailed work before officially ending the meeting.The board members began to leave, one by one, murmuring among themselves, some offering her a nod of approval as they passed. Soon, it was just Rhea and Kieran left in the room. She quietly began to gather her things, still feeling faint but trying not to show it.They walked side by side out of the meeting room and stepped into the elevator. As the doors closed, a sharp pain struck Rhea's temples. Her vision blurred, the world around her began to spin, and voices faded into a muffled haze. She clutched the railing inside the elevator like it was the only thing anchoring her to the earth.“You did a good job in the meeting today,” Kieran said, his voice calm as he looked at the elevator floor,

  • Fated To The Ruthless Alpha   Presentation

    Chapter Forty-SixToday was the day of the presentation.Rhea woke up feeling weak and not quite herself. A dull ache pounded behind her eyes, growing stronger with every heartbeat. She rubbed her temples and sat up slowly, swinging her legs off the bed. There was no time to dwell on it—today was too important. She had to be strong. No matter how exhausted or sick she felt, she couldn’t afford to mess this up.Dragging herself to the bathroom, Rhea washed up and got dressed in a pair of fitted black trousers, a crisp white shirt, and a sleek black jacket. She tied her hair into a neat ponytail and stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes looked slightly sunken, her skin paler than usual. She definitely looked tired.“It’s just stress,” she muttered under her breath. “You’ve got this.”She arrived at work early and immediately began arranging her desk, placing the files and documents she would need for the day’s meeting within reach. Her heart raced with anticipation, nerves dancing b

    Chapter Forty-FiveRhea spent the entire night preparing the final version of the presentation document. The glow from her laptop screen had become her only companion as she worked through the dark hours, perfecting every section, refining every word. By the time she was done, she had barely two hours left to sleep.When her alarm went off, she groaned in exhaustion. Her body felt heavy, her muscles sore, and her mind foggy from the lack of rest. Of course she felt weak—she had worked herself to the bone.Dragging herself out of bed, she got dressed for work in a simple black pencil skirt and a fitted black blouse. It was her go-to look for serious days like this—professional, clean, and unassuming. She slipped her heels on, gathered the documents she had worked so hard on, and headed to the office.To her surprise, the morning passed quietly. Kieran didn’t call her or summon her for anything, which brought her a sense of relief. Even though the presentation draft was ready, she still
