LOGINKatlyn I finally finished my shift for the day and carefully gathered the remaining documents from my desk.My thoughts remained anything but peaceful because that handwritten note from Silverclaw kept replaying relentlessly inside my mind. It refused to leave me alone no matter how hard I tried to push it away.Lukas will eventually run completely mad without his mate. It is only a matter of time.I swallowed hard while closing another file, then slowly exhaled a long breath as I muttered to myself.“Stop thinking about this.”I slipped several folders neatly into their places and grabbed my purse from the chair. My mind still refused to cooperate, every time I tried to think about something else, that note resurfaced again.I sighed heavily while turning off my computer and groaning, “Why am I even worrying so much about him?”Then I immediately shook my head at myself and added.“He is literally a supernatural monster, Katlyn,” but another part of my mind answered just as quick
LukasI locked myself inside my private study the moment I returned to the penthouse.My entire body burned with a relentless, agonizing heat as every muscle remained painfully tense beneath my clothes.Even breathing properly became increasingly difficult.I slowly exhaled and pressed my palm against the cool glass, but that offered no relief.The curse was already growing stronger again.I closed my eyes while inhaling deeply. The weekly deadline was rapidly approaching once again, and every passing hour only worsened my condition.I slowly dragged both hands through my hair and gripped the back of my neck.But it still didn’t ease the pressure building inside my head, the curse was no longer quietly lingering. It was now actively clawing at my sanity instead.Every instinct inside my body remained dangerously unstable, every thought inside my head became increasingly primal, and most terrifying of all, every instinct inside my wolf demanded only one thing.Katlyn.My beast no longe
Katlyn I sat silently in the far corner of the luxurious backseat while staring out the dark tinted window as the city lights blurred past in long, restless streaks.My chest continued rising and falling heavily with lingering frustration, the vehicle moved smoothly through crowded streets without slowing down at all.My mind was moving far faster than the car itself, because one horrifying realization had already settled deeply inside my chest.Lukas was truly serious about his threat.I slowly closed my eyes while replaying his exact words over and over again until they began to feel carved into my thoughts.“If you ever attempt fleeing my protection again, I will make our relationship completely public to every media outlet available.”I slowly inhaled before leaning my head against the cool glass beside me, trying to calm myself even though my thoughts refused to calm down.He had only kept everything private because I specifically requested it from the very beginning.He had res
LukasI was in the middle of reviewing a lengthy financial report while several profit projections remained displayed across my monitor, yet I was barely paying attention because my thoughts were occupied by one person.Katlyn.That stubborn, impossible woman continued occupying my mind constantly.I adjusted several figures on the report absentmindedly before reaching for another document, but before I could continue reading anything, my office doors suddenly opened.Caleb hurried inside with unusual urgency written across his entire expression.It was very unusual because Caleb never rushed anywhere unnecessarily, his entire personality was built around composure, so if he was rushing now, something was undeniably wrong.I immediately closed the file in front of me and turned my attention toward him.“Miss Katlyn’s tracking beacon has left the corporate perimeter. She exited through the rear freight entrance unnoticed.” My wolf erupted inside my chest as a deafening roar filled my
Kaylyn The next morning, I arrived at the Varlor Group headquarters significantly earlier than usual.I had intentionally resumed work earlier than everybody else today.That decision had absolutely nothing to do with dedication.That decision had everything to do with avoiding one particular billionaire.After everything that happened inside my bedroom last night, my walls were built higher than ever before.I had spent the entire drive rehearsing exactly how I would behave today.I would remain cold, professional, and completely unaffected. I would not stutter whenever he looked at me.I would not become flustered whenever he invaded my personal space. Most importantly, I would absolutely not acknowledge what happened inside my bedroom.Because if I acknowledged that moment even once, my brain would immediately spiral again.And I refused to allow that to happen.I inhaled deeply while adjusting my blazer and giving myself a little prep talk. Today will be completely normal and un
Katlyn My eyes widened until they almost began hurting physically. For several terrifying moments, my brain completely stopped functioning altogether.Lukas was standing right inside my bedroom. He looked calm, composed, and completely unbothered by his actions.A deep wave of mortification immediately crashed over my entire body.“How? What are you doing here?”His glowing amber eyes remained entirely fixed on me.“I came because being away from you felt unbearable.”My jaw immediately dropped at his answer, I couldn’t even process how calmly he had said it.My brain practically short-circuited trying to keep up to what was happening. Then I remembered that I was standing there wearing nothing except a towel.Shit. My survival instincts immediately kicked into full force afterward, and I took a hurried step backward toward the bathroom entrance.I turned around completely, intending to rush back into safety, but I only managed to take one shaky step before he moved. One second h
Katlyn I practically fell through the front door, my four-inch heels clutched in one trembling hand as I leaned against the mahogany wood to catch my breath. My lungs burned, and my heart felt like it was trying to kick its way out of my ribs.This isn't real, I chanted to myself, my mind spinning
Lukas, 29I smelled it before I even saw her.Fuck.I smelled her, the intoxicating scent of cedarwood, vanilla, and something sharp, like a thunderstorm brewing over the Swiss Alps. It was the scent of a being I had been searching for through a decade of agony.Warm, sweet, alive and mine.Mine.T
Katlyn I stepped into the elevator at exactly 8:00 PM. My heart was thundering harder than any pulse I’d ever written for a hero, and I was praying, pleading with the universe—that he either hadn't seen the drive or was too busy to open it.Heaven knows I would not survive the look on his face aft
Katlyn “Reject it!”I didn’t even look up from the tablet. I paused, then continued.“It’s a collaboration request from—”“Reject it.”I inhaled slowly through my nose, already feeling the headache brewing behind my eyes. “Sir, this is the third partnership proposal from the textile conglomerate in
