The people looked spic and span; the interviewees dressed officially in well-pressed power suits. Looking down at her skinny black jeans, which according to her were not only fashionable but appropriate too, she felt her mind go blank. Yeah, she had paired her jeans with a black top and added a splash of color by having a pink blazer. That now made her outfit look official.
The interview started immediately after the clock struck 9:00 am. The first interview did not take long and the interviewee, came out looking like she was about to cry. Okay, that did not look promising. She was a beautiful girl, well dressed, the only thing was that she looked too polite. The rest of the interviews did not hold any suspense. Some people came out smiling while others came out frowning. All in all, she could feel her nerves increasing as the line decreased. The Black Company was one of the best companies that searched for talent among writers of every kind. Mostly novel writers and scriptwriters.
Most of the work they produced was already translated into movies while making a lot of money through the time. The only issue was that they were yet to start an official movie or drama video production, having only done a few works. This was the heaven of every writer. Success lay at their fingertips with this.
Hearing her name called, she stood, took a deep breath, and opened the door. The moment she opened the door, she felt as though her world was twisting. Her heart thumping, she could feel extreme stirrings from within her to change into her wolf form. When she looked up, she was met with a shock of golden eyes. She felt it, shock from within her heart and a flash of irrational attraction. There sat the CEO of the Black Company, in the company of other people vetting the interviewees, spotting an annoyed face until now. There was a flash of shock through his face.
Ryan sat in the conference room looking at everything and wondering why he was even being involved in all this. Most of the people that had come for this interview were not there for writing, no, they were there because they had a chance. Since this writing company was started, he had learned how to know potential writers and people who could be upped in their manner of writing. Fictional writing could not just be normal. Normal was boring, there had to be something out of the ordinary, not monotones.
He believed that the way someone even dressed or behaved reflected their creative minds the best. Going through all those interviews had to have been the most boring thing he had ever done until now. He could feel it in his guts, there was another like him. How could she exist outside of the jurisdiction, in the city? When he lifted his head as she entered, his wolf nearly leaped off him and had him change uncontrollably. He was too excited for no apparent reason.
Exercising steel controlling, he managed to push the urge to shift back, but it remained just under the surface. She was one of them, he could see it and she apparently realized he was also like her. she was pretty, ethereal almost like an angel. Her soft blond luscious hair framed her heart-shaped face delicately. Giving her shape and volume. She was a petite woman, well-proportioned and so far, he really liked what he saw on the front. Now the question to ask was she really here for an interview or did she already know about him.
She sat down on one of those seats and as he watched her, his eyes seeing the rapid movement of her pulse against her neck, as she swallowed deeply. He had seen when her eyes had turned slightly jungle green before they came back to normal that was grey. She had to have had the most beautiful eyes in the whole wolf world he had ever seen. Watching her as the panel of interviewers asked her questions had him mesmerized. He knew it there and then; she was the one he had been waiting for. His half.
His dad had always told him that he would know when he met his mate. It would have things surrounding him that would be unmistakable. His uncontrollable urge to change, unnecessary excitement, and the way his heart was palpitating. The way he got attracted to her, almost like a bee gravitating towards a flower. Yes, he knew it. And by the way, she was squirming in her chair, she had also probably sensed it.
Congratulations Leila, you have the job. That was the statement that got her out of her reverie. She had struggled to concentrate since she got inside. The boss Ryan had looked so handsome that she had had a rough time concentrating on what the interviewees had asked. How she had managed to even talk to them she did not know. But from the moment she had entered that office, she had been awfully aware of Ryan. The way her nipples had tightened at his mere sight, a bolt of desire rushing through her leaving her breathless.What the hell was wrong with her, it was just a man, or maybe not. He was not human; she could feel him through his body scent. He was like her; she had seen when his eyes had thinned onto tiny golden slits when she got in the office. Looked at her so thoroughly that she had felt empty and naked. She had to get out of that place and quickly. She could not possibly come and work there now. The man had a dangerous aura about him, yet she had been so attracted t
They had to sprinkle some cold water on her to get her to rise. Her mom on that day had looked at her as though looking at a strange animal. When she saw her face, she had turned whiter than any flour she had known, nearly fainting again. Thankfully, she had kept in what she had seen and today, they had a pretty close friendship with her parents. They may not have been her biological parents, but they may as well have been. They had been with her through the changes she experienced in high school and even during work.When she had suggested moving out to the big city, they had been heartbroken. Her mom had tried to hide the worry in her eyes but she had seen it all. Heard it all. And God help her she loved them as they were. She would sit and think rationally and then maybe she could make informed decisions.Taking the last scoop of ice cream, Leila moved to the window. This was fate that she had moved to New York and in turn met someone just like her. That proved that
After a quick shower, she moved to have some breakfast, and today she craved her normal food. Fresh meat which she would have and stay full the whole day. After she had prepared herself, she decided to walk down the road to her workplace. The morning walk was something to look forward to because the roads were already starting to have traffic. Walking by the pavement, as the sunlight streamed between the buildings created a sophisticated picture. This could however never compare to the sweetness of forest musk and fresh air that was found in the rural area.Walking faster she got to her destination, the Black company was a king of buildings among those surrounding it. The reflective mirrors made the place look classy and sophisticated. Walking in, she moved to the reception where the receptionist took her to the human resources manager. Mr. James was a middle-aged man of around forty years, with kind eyes. When she saw him, she could not help but question whether he knew that
The rest of the tour was amazing and she found herself actually enjoying everything up to a point she nearly forgot her embarrassing situation in the office. That day, Ryan showed her, her work cubicle where she would be doing most of the work, and she honestly did not get good stares. She was walking with the boss and given how good-looking he was, and the fact that she was just a new employee raised questions.She had written several books and she hoped that this place would at least give her the environment she needed to make an earning for herself. The people there did look welcoming, especially one big lady who was actually youthful and knew how to dress her body well. She had talked to her and her innocence together with her bubbly self made her feel great talking to her.That evening, Ryan drove back with Enoch to go see his parents in Alaska. Alaska had been their perfect home because of the forests occupying that region. Wolfs were creatures of hunting and if
The queen was of course majestic and beautiful in a regal way. Dressed in dark purple, the finest of it all. Her husband, Thapelo, dressed in a dress coat, embroidered beautifully to stop just above his ankles. Inside had silk pants that were of the finest material. It was like stepping right into a Victorian-era world. “Hey dad, hey mom, how are you people.” Ryan said as he moved to kiss her mother on the face and greet his father. His mother stood from the table holding his ears. “You sure do know how to stay away huh, I always say come home soon and then you say you will and weeks go by like that. Today I am going to beat your ass.” That had of course been the norm between the two. The palace servants were already used to it though of course Ryan always pretended that his ear hurt. “Mom stop, you are embarrassing me I’m already grown up,” Ryan said as he held his mom’s hand... “ouch, you will give scars to this handsome son of yours.” She did leave his ear b

Leila walked home after her first day at work, more confused than clarified. She had become someone’s marked mate in an instant without her voluntary reaction. It was almost as though fate was working behind the scenes to bring her and Ryan together. That was definitely bizarre ad the only thing she could do now was wait until Ryan came back with an explanation for what had happened then.Getting inside her house she sat as she thought about how handsome he had been. When she had changed, she been full of too much excitement, his presence made her feel protected. Like with him around, there was nothing to fear. And then of course she wanted to mate with him, more than she had ever wanted to.She had of course grown among humans, some had of course hit on he but at those times, she had felt disgusted when imagining herself being with them. She had even managed to convince herself that she wasn’t meant to know love. Because it seemed as though the people arou
Talking with his parents has always been calming. It was home. After discussing with them what had happened, they had found themselves going back to talk about the savior. Things had been weird and according to his parents, no one had ever marked their partner in adream. In as much as there was much mystery surrounding this, if they did more research, they could of course find out what had happened.That night, Ryan moved out to meet with his pack members. He had missed the thrill of the hunt, giving out instructions as they went stealthily. Fresh prey always tasted the best. Everyone turned from their base and then moved to the woods. Everyone in position, they moved as Ryan mastered the thoughts of everyone in the group. They had to be focused and of the same mind. That had always been their strength.Giving instructions, Enoch just beside him as the beta, they moved forward stealthily before they broke into a run. He could feel the excitement filling his veins as hi
