My Boss Is A Werewolf Chapter 25
Clara Bennett“You really know how to make a girl feel special,” I said softly as Ryder guided me off the dance floor toward a quieter corner of the ballroom. My feet were starting to ache in my heels, but I didn’t mind. Not when he kept looking at me like that.Ryder chuckled and pulled out a chair for me at a small table near the windows. “Good. Because I plan on doing a lot more of that.” He sat down across from me, but instead of keeping distance, he reached over and took my hand, his thumb stroking the back of my knuckles. “You’ve been quiet since we left the hallway. Talk to me, Clara. What’s really going on in that head of yours?”I opened my mouth to answer, but my phone vibrated hard inside my clutch. The sound made my whole body tense. I pulled it out quickly, hoping it was just Lydia again, but the name on the screen sent ice through my veins. Victor.“I need to take this,” I whispered, standing up so fast my chair scraped against the floor. “It’s about my mom. I’ll be rig

Clara Bennett“Mr. West, there you are!” An older gentleman with silver hair and a heavy gold watch called out as he approached us on the dance floor, his wife on his arm. The woman wore a diamond necklace that probably cost more than my entire apartment building. They both smiled brightly at Ryder like they had known him for years.“Mr. and Mrs. Harrington,” Ryder said politely, though I felt his hand tighten slightly on my waist. “Good to see you again.”The couple launched into small talk about some recent business deal, their voices loud and full of laughter. I stood there smiling and nodding at the right moments, but my mind was still spinning from Victor’s threats and the way Ryder had been looking at me all night.After a couple of minutes, I leaned closer to Ryder’s ear. “I need to use the restroom. I’ll be back in a few minutes.”He nodded, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. “Take your time. I’ll be right here.”I slipped away from the group and made my way through the crowded

Clara Bennett“Come on,” Ryder said, his voice low and warm as he took my hand. “Let’s dance. I want everyone here to know you’re with me tonight.”I let him lead me onto the crowded dance floor, my sparkling peach dress swishing around my legs with every step. The orchestra was playing a slow, romantic melody that wrapped around us like silk. Ryder pulled me close, one hand settling on my lower back while the other held mine firmly. Being this close to him after everything that had just happened with Victor made my head spin.“You’re shaking,” he murmured against my ear as we moved together. His breath tickled my skin and sent goosebumps racing down my arms. “Still thinking about him?”I tilted my head up to look at him, my free hand resting on his broad shoulder. “A little. But mostly I’m just… overwhelmed. This night, you, everything. It feels like too much sometimes.”Ryder’s grip on me tightened possessively as he guided us smoothly across the floor. Other couples danced around u

Clara Bennett “Stay right here for a minute,” Ryder said, squeezing my hand gently as we stepped back into the crowded ballroom. “I need to speak with one of the investors quickly. I’ll be right back.” I nodded, trying to keep my expression calm even though my stomach was twisting into knots. “Okay, I’ll wait near the drinks table.” He leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to my forehead before disappearing into the crowd. The moment he was gone, I let out a shaky breath and headed toward the side of the room, pretending to look at the elegant ice sculptures. My hands were clammy, and I kept glancing over my shoulder. I didn’t even see Victor approach until he was right beside me. “Nice little show you put on out there,” Victor murmured close to my ear, his voice low enough that only I could hear. He stood too close, one hand casually holding a champagne flute while the other brushed against my arm like we were old friends catching up. “Hand over the files, Clara. Now.” I stiffen

Clara Bennett Victor’s voice sliced through the quiet garden like a knife, and my stomach dropped straight to the floor. I felt Ryder’s hand slide from my cheek to my lower back, steady and protective, as he turned fully toward the newcomers. “Good evening,” Ryder said smoothly, extending his hand with that natural confidence he carried everywhere. “I’m Ryder West. Any friend of Clara’s is welcome here.” Victor shook his hand firmly, his smile never reaching his eyes. “Victor Sinclair. Pleasure to meet you. Clara and I go way back, don’t we, darling?” The word “darling” made my skin crawl. I forced a tight smile, stepping slightly closer to Ryder without thinking. Amelia stood beside Victor in her fire-red dress, her eyes burning holes into me as she clutched Victor’s arm tighter. “Clara,” Amelia said sweetly, though her voice dripped with poison. “You clean up nicely for once. That dress almost makes you look like you belong here.” Ryder’s hand pressed more firmly against my ba

Clara BennettI turned away from fountain so fast I nearly dropped my phone. Realizing I was just imagining things.. .“How could victor be here?“ I thought. I ran a hand through my hair, feeling instant relief. My heart jumped into my throat as I saw Ryder walking down the stone path toward the garden fountain, his tall figure cutting through the soft garden lights.“Clara?” Ryder called out, his voice warm but curious. “Everything okay? You’ve been out here a while.”I quickly shoved the phone into my clutch, forcing a smile onto my face even though my hands were still trembling. “Yeah, I’m fine. I was just… checking up on my mom. The hospital sent an update and I wanted to make sure she was doing alright tonight.”Ryder stopped in front of me, his eyes searching my face carefully. He looked extremely handsome in his black suit under the moonlight, and for a second I felt like I might actually break apart right there.“I can help with that,” he said gently, reaching out to brush a
