ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY ALPHA CEO Chapter 14
Allison's POVI'm lying in bed at eleven in the morning, one arm over my eyes. On a different day, I would have been at work hours ago.But not today. I don't think I can go to work today. I don't think I can go to work ever again, after the way I disgraced myself at the luncheon yesterday. I should have stayed at home. I should have avoided the alcohol. I should have remained at the balcony. I should have avoided the lunch table. I should never have left Elsa and Ian's side in the first place.Each minute that passes shoves one more regret into my mind, one more reason why I'm entirely at fault for what happened.I don't realize that I'm crying until I feel the tears rolling down my cheeks.Why do I keep doing this? Why don't I have the good sense not to keep ruining everything for myself?I hear a knock on my door, but I don't bother answering. I know it's Ian. He has been knocking since seven, trying to get me to unlock the door, but I can't face him right now. I can't even face my

Allison's POVI must have woken from the wrong side of the bed today. I wake up feeling so ill that Ian and Elsa literally have to beg me to stay at home. Not that I mind. I'm not in the mood for my coworkers' judgment, for the way they look at me like I'm sin, the way they point and whisper whenever they see me. What bothers me is that Elsa has decided to stay at home with me, and she won't let me talk her out of it no matter how hard I try.I don't want her to get in trouble with Rachel, and failing to show up for work is exactly the sort of thing that would make Rachel give her trouble. The fact that she does not have a valid excuse like I do isn't going to help matters. While I can say that I could not go to work due to ill health, Elsa can't tell them that she couldn't go because she was taking care of me. Nobody is going to listen to that.These depressing thoughts are racing through my mind as I watch her make me a pot of tea."Wipe that look off your face," she says, handing m

Xander's POVAllison Carter is staring at me like she has seen a ghost, her eyes widened to twice their size. She's opening and closing her mouth, too startled to make a sound.The other woman is the one that speaks."Mr. Black…" she stutters, though it from surprise and not because she's flustered. "Welcome. To what do we owe this honor?"I return my gaze to Allison, and she looks like she wants nothing more than to sink into the floor and disappear."I've come to speak with Allison," I say.Allison starts, then drops her gaze. The woman— her friend, I'm guessing, based on the dynamic here— steps closer and takes her hand."Do you want to talk to him, Allison?" she whispers it, but my ears pick it up easily.The audacity of this woman. She seems to have her own personal hierarchy, where the Alpha is somewhere beneath her friends."Mr. Black," Allison says, her voice low, "you must have found out that we skipped work today. I apologize for that. The thing is—""Allison," I cut in, "yo

Allison's POVI said yes. I can't believe I said yes. I should probably book a doctor's appointment and get my head checked. My nerves won't stop screaming at me about what a bad idea this is.It's just that… Xander Black had looked so sincere, sitting there and offering to take responsibility. And while I've been prepared to do this alone, it's not because I wanted to do it alone. I thought I had no other choice, but now I do, and it's actually reassuring to know that he will be there to help me.Though when I say reassuring, this was not what I had in mind. I stepped out this morning only to find a courier at my doorstep, bearing a bouquet of roses with a note tucked into it. Even before I see his flawless handwriting on the note, I know who they are from.'I read that women love to receive flowers from their partners,' he had written. 'Let me know if you would have preferred something else.'Since he considered that I might prefer something other than flowers, why didn't he just ca

Allison's POVWhen I agreed to date Xander Black, I thought I was done making decisions I should get my head checked for. But it seems I'm not, because when he asked if I wanted to go on a date, my mouth opened without my brain's permission and blurted out "yes!"Now it's Saturday, and I'm sitting in his car, staring at the fingers entwined on my lap and wondering what the heck made me convince myself that this might be a good idea."Are you nervous?" Xander asks from beside me.I nearly jump out of my seat."Of course not," I respond, waving the possibility aside with a thin laugh. "I'm not nervous at all, Mr. Black.""Yes, I can totally see that," he replies.The sarcasm isn't lost on me. I whip my head around to stare at him, stunned. I'm even more shocked to see the small, teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips. That smile, small as it is, is enough to paralyze me in my seat. I can do nothing else but stare at him."Penny for your thoughts?" he asks.I blink, then turn a

Allison's POVI gulp, willing my heart to stop beating so fast. I can't believe that I'm being attacked inside a noodle shop, of all places.Who even is this person, and what the hell does he want? The hand clamped heavily over my face is making it difficult for me to breathe. I go very still, hoping that will make him let down his guard enough for me to escape. It doesn't. Instead he leans closer, leering at me."That's a good girl," he says, leaning even closer.The stench of garlic hits me like a punch, and I can feel tears pooling in my eyes."Now," he continues, "you're going to keep being a good girl. You're going to follow me out of this place, and you'll act natural so everyone thinks we're together. Do you understand?"Wait a second, am I being abducted? In this fist-size noodle shop, and by a homeless looking man with bad breath no less?! When I don't respond, he clamps his hand tighter over my nose and mouth, giving me a rough shake."Do you understand, bitch?" he hisses i

Xander's POVMaybe I should not stare at Allison Carter this way. She's smiling so brightly and in such an unguarded way that it somehow feels like cheating to watch her like this. But she's right here beside me, acting so delighted about something as small as a car ride around the city. Her eyes are closed, her head thrown back and her sun-kissed blonde hair dancing around her face. With this sight filling my senses, the most ridiculous thought blooms in my mind.Damn, I think, Allison Carter is beautiful.I've always known that Allison is beautiful, even if she kept it hidden under the shabby fashion and her meek manner. But here, it feels like she has tossed everything that held her down aside. She looks so unburdened, so free.So beautiful. It's like she's radiating some sort of light. I've never seen her like this before. She looks younger and fresher.Suddenly she opens her eyes and looks at me, clearly confused to have found me staring."Mr. Black?" she says.I blink, turning

Allison's POVXander Black must have been born to distract me. Once again, he has me staring at my system for a full ten minutes without doing anything, and he didn't even have to be here to do it!I sigh, staring at the screen to remember what I was doing before the memories of yesterday swept me away.Memories of Xander's eyes, and the unusual softness in them. Memories of his concern and his kindness. He had gone to a noodle shop just because I wanted to, and let me spend a foolishly long time at the fountain without complaining, even waiting for me and driving me home afterwards. All rather small things to be gushing about, I know, but dating Peterson for four years does that to a person.And that look in his eyes…I had turned away from the fountain at one point, looking around to see if he had gone, and there he was, drawing my eyes like he always does. His warm gaze had been fixed on me, an alluring smile playing on his lips. It had looked… almost like he might maybe somehow lo

ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY ALPHA CEO Chapter 38
Elsa's POVIt had sounded like such a good idea when Allison first proposed it. Make a bet with Ian, and get him to go on a date with me, where I give clearer hints about my feelings for him. Easy, right?Wrong.Because I'm sitting across from Ian at this new restaurant, fiddling with my cutlery while I try not to let him notice. I know it might be just me, but the atmosphere between us is so awkward, I'm surprised a waiter hasn't stepped in to comment on it.My hands feel too stiff to handle my fork and knife. I seem to have suddenly forgotten how to cut into steak, and how to chew the meat when I did succeed in cutting it.Goddess, why am I so pathetic?Ian, on the other hand, is perfectly relaxed, eating his meal like nothing unusual is going on. Not even the fact that he has practically been blackmailed into taking me out on this date seems to affect him. He had shown up at my apartment earlier this evening, not a minute later from the time we agreed on and bearing a bouquet of lo
ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY ALPHA CEO Chapter 38
Elsa's POVApparently, this is how stuff happens. You step out of your best friend's ward for about an hour to give her some privacy with her secret lover who isn't really her lover, and by the time you return, they're in a real relationship, and it nearly got announced to the whole pack except that your best friend decided otherwise.Oh, and the guy in question also happens to be the Alpha.What's this, the grand finale of a best-selling romance movie?At least I'm not alone in my shock. Ian and I are sitting on either side of Allison's bed, staring mutely at each other after having heard the strangest story in the history of the pack. If he wasn't the Alpha, we would have run right out of the room, found Xander Black wherever he is and dragged him back here to tell his own side of the story. It's not that we don't believe Allison.It's just that sometimes, it can be really difficult to wrap your head around something. Like your best friend being the future Luna. But there are more i

Allison's POV"Let's start dating, Allison. For real, this time."Now I'm sure I'm hearing things, because there's no way Xander just said that. My mind is going oh my goodness, he asked me out, I'm so happy! and at the same time screaming oh no, he asked me out, this is terrible, this is a nightmare!Xander must have felt the way I instantly went still, because he lets go and pulls back, looking into my face."Allison?" he says. "Is something wrong?"I can only stare dumbly at him with a million thoughts running through my mind.Why is he asking a question like that?Am I the only one who heard him just now? He's literally suggesting that we do the exact thing we both agreed that we shouldn't do."You just asked me out," I whisper, just to be sure."I did," he replies in a voice soft as the look in his eyes.And it's that look that convinces me that I'm not mistaken. Xander truly wants to be with me, for real.While I'm staring off into space, lost in thought, Xander is searching my

Allison's POVWaking up hurts like hell, My whole being is aching, even in places I didn't know my body had, and it makes me want to fall back into unconsciousness.Slowly, I crack my eyes slightly open, wincing from the bright light that fills my vision. My whole body feels heavy, but when I try to lift my arm, I do so without difficulty. I hold up the bandaged hand, using it to shield my stinging eyes from the light. I suppose I should be glad I didn't have it worse. Being part wolf and part witch sure comes in handy for helping Omegas recover from terrible injuries faster than normal."Allison!" Elsa's voice exclaims with relief.I look to the side just as she appears beside me, her eyes shimmering with tears. She takes my hand in both of hers and clasps it to her chest."I'm so glad you're awake," she says.Me too, I want to say, but I can't get my voice to work, so I settle for giving her a soft smile. I'm so glad she's the one at my side when I woke up.Speaking of… what happene

Rachel's POVIt's possible that Xander might have been cursed by the witches to behave strangely.Or rather, to behave in strange ways that will ruin things for me.I don't know why he has been showing up at the very worst times to sabotage any of my plans that involve making sure Allison Carter doesn't win the Tech Wizard competition.I mean, if she were to win, it would be a victory for the Omegas, and they would consider it a reason to look down on us upper class werewolves. It's perfectly obvious. Why doesn't he seem to get it?First he made sure I couldn't disqualify her from competing, and now this.Everything was going according to plan. Amy Becker had just given the best presentation so far, earning the highest marks so far from the judges. Then Xander barges in with his security, and everything stops going right and starts going horribly wrong."This competition is cancelled," he announces.Jaws drop all over the place and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is shoc
ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY ALPHA CEO Chapter 34
Xander's POVI'm in a meeting with the heads of one of our partner companies when I start receiving the calls from Allison's friend. I didn't pick them at first, because I'm in a meeting, and also because it's an unfamiliar number. But she keeps calling relentlessly, so I pick up out of curiosity. She sounds worried and frightened, which should have warned me, but I'm still not prepared for the news when I hear it."Allison is in the hospital," she chokes out through sobs. "She was caught up in a car crash on her way to the competition…" she hiccups. "I d-don't know why she was going there alone…"I don't wait to hear anything else. I'm up and heading for the exit before I remember that I was in a meeting. I pause at the door long enough to say "this meeting is adjourned".Without waiting for a response, I hurry out of the building."Which hospital?" I say into the phone."Hands of Light," she replies."Are you with her right now?""As close as I can be," she replies, sounding miserab
ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY ALPHA CEO Chapter 33
Allison's POVI stand before the mirror, running a hand down the long sleeve of my white shirt, trying not to think about Xander.But not thinking about him is proving to be pretty difficult, since I'm currently wearing clothes he bought. That's right, it's the day of the Tech Wizard competition, yet all I can think about is Xander Black.I can't stop seeing his eyes, dark with desire as he fixed them on mine. Can't stop hearing his voice, thick with longing for me. I had been so sure that he was going to kiss me, right there beside the fountain, in full view of everyone. Which is why I had to step away, even though I wanted it so badly I could have screamed.I want him so badly I could scream.I understand if he hadn't been thinking about it at the time, but all I had seen as my whole body longed to lean closer to him was everything that was at stake.His reputation and mine. My safety, both from upper class werewolves that would feel insulted that an Omega dared to get together with
ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY ALPHA CEO Chapter 32
Xander's POVAllison is sitting with her hands on her lap, fiddling with her fingers. Is she nervous because I saw her in one of the dresses I bought, or because of something else?"I was right about the dress," I say. "It suits you."I'm partly saying this to reassure her and stop her from feeling nervous, but I truly mean it, even more than I realized.The dress hugs her curves in all the right places, and the deep blue color brings out the lovely flecks of gold in her warm brown eyes.A red hue spreads on Allison's cheeks in response to my words, crawling up her ears. She looks up from the hands resting on her lap and turns her gaze on me."You think so?" she asks.Really, the sort of questions she asks, as if the answers aren't obvious."Of course I do," I reply. "You should dress like this more often, if it doesn't make you uncomfortable."She ducks her head shyly, biting her lower lip. Golden blonde hair falls in a shiny long curtain over her face, hiding it from view.I want to
ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY ALPHA CEO Chapter 31
Allison's POVElsa and I are alone in my apartment, three different computer systems open in front of us, all in use at the same time. I'm determined to finish my presentation today, and while Elsa isn't a software developer like me, she does know her way around computer systems. Things are definitely faster with her here, and we're almost done at this point.Elsa leans back from the keys she was typing on, cracking her neck and her fingers. Then she stretches until her back pops, before leaning forward to rest her head on the table."Allison!" she whines. "I'm exhausted."I sigh, rubbing my eyes."Yeah, me too," I say.We've been working nonstop for hours, and I'm honestly surprised either of us lasted this long."Let's do something else," she says."Something like what?" I ask.She turns her head to face me, a big smile blooming on her face."Let's talk about your outfit for the Tech Wizard competition, of course," she says. "Have you tried on the clothes Xander Black bought you yet
