Chapter 36 Alpha Felix 'I don't know him' I toss on the bed and groan as her words echo in my head for the umpteenth time. It's already midnight, but I can't even bring myself to get some sleep. Has she been here for long? What is the relationship between her and Alpha Kai? Why is she here of all places? Pushing all of my thoughts away, I stand up from the bed and stride out of the room to get fresh air outside. The atmospheric condition in the room is perfect, yet I feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I'm feeling disturbed. I would've loved to see her and talk to her, but I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and I also can't see her tonight since it's midnight already. Who knows, maybe she must be asleep already by now. I manage to find my way to the garden to at least clear my head there, but I stop on my track when I walk in and find Ariel standing and staring into space. I blink my eyes a couple of times to be sure that I'm not hallucinating, but I'm not. She's re
Chapter 37 Max POV I woke up this morning with a banging headache since I couldn't sleep all through the night. You are shocked, and probably think werewolves don't feel pain, right? We shouldn't feel pain like headache, stomach ache, body pain, and tiredness, right? Well, that only happens in movies and book series. That magic or miracle rather can only happen there. We do feel pain, and that is the reality of our existence. "Ah!" I wince in pain and rub my forehead as I manage to stand up from the bed and drag myself into the bathroom to wash my face, maybe it'll make me feel better. I walk back into my room minutes later after I wash my face, and I throw myself on the bed, groaning in pain. I need to meet with Phillip today about the progress of the project, but it seems like I won't be able to do it. I'm not feeling too well, and I need to get some rest. The sound of my ringing phone pulls my attention, and I reach out for it lazily. I sigh briefly when I see t
Chapter 38 Ariel POV My heart beats rapidly against my chest as I walk down the verandah with the kids, ready to take them to school. I woke up early this morning and got them ready as usual. "Aren't we going to see daddy before we go to school?" Ruby asks, and my eyes slowly widen as I stop abruptly. I gulp down the sudden lump that forms in my throat. After what happened yesterday, I can't bring myself to face him today, or anytime soon. "You are going to stay in the same office with him later. How about that?" My subconscious mind reminds me, and I sigh silently. It seems like I won't be able to avoid him later. "Oh, your dad? Actually, he went early to the office today, so I don't think you will..." "Daddy!" Ruby suddenly squeaks excitedly as she removes her hand from mine, and hurries away. Gosh! Alpha Kai is here. "I told Ariel to bring us to see you, but she said you went to the office. What happened?" I shut my eyes tightly as I hear her voice. If w
Chapter 39 Ariel POV The drive to the company was filled with awkward silence, and I was looking forward to getting to the office so I can leave his car, but remembering we will be in the same office for the rest of the day, I feel like disappearing into thin air because I feel so embarrassed. "But he just told you he can't remember anything that happened yesterday night," My subconscious mind reminds me, and even if I want to be relaxed, something keeps whispering to me that he was just pulling my legs. How didn't he recall what happened yesterday? I know werewolves with strong wolves always have a high tolerance for alcohol, so it means that he lied to me. "Just pretend it didn't happen, and you'll be fine," I whisper to myself before I look out of the window. We finally arrive at the company later, and we head to the office. I feel my heart crawling up my chest, and almost in my throat. I know it's my imagination, but that is how I feel. The time seems to be
Chapter 40 Alpha Kai It feels so good kissing her, like everything about her feels so good, and as much as I want this to continue, I know that I have to stop her. She's literally being controlled by her wolf, and she's trying hard to fight it, but it's just not working. After Felix left my office as I asked him to excuse us, she tries to pounce on me again, but I hold her back gently and stare into her eyes which are filled with desires and lust. She wants me, and it's written all over her, and what if I tell you that the feeling is mutual? But fucking no! I won't bring myself to hurt her, knowing she would regret it later when she comes back to her sense. She blinks her eyes rapidly as they pierce into mine, and I guess she's trying to get a hold of herself, and it finally works. She jerks away from me and covers her mouth as a sharp gasp tore through her throat, her eyes slowly widening in shock. "I...I...I..." She stutters as she shakes visibly, and I sigh briefly. "I have an
Chapter 41 Ariel POV Three days laterThe last few days, I've been trying so hard to control myself around the Alpha, but something keeps pushing me to do silly things with him, but I'm glad that I've been able to get a hold of myself, although I don't know for how long that will last. It's Friday today, and since the kids are on break from school, he asked me to stay at home with them so they won't feel lonely. He has gone to work since morning, but here I am, missing him so much and craving to see him. I think I'm going to lose my mind. The kids just fell asleep, so I sneak out of my room and stroll to his study to check if he's back from the office, but I feel disappointed when I arrive at the study and find it empty. His room too is also empty, which only means that he's not back from the office. "Ah! When will you come back?" I mumble as I run my fingers through my hair. I finally head back into my room to get some rest, while I'm waiting for him. As I lay on the bed and st
Chapter 42 Ariel POV It's finally evening, and I can't just wait for Alpha Kai to come back from the office. I've been to his study and his room five times this evening, and I'm set to go for the sixth time now. I first head to his study, and I stop when I arrive there and find madam Leila coming out of there. "Good evening, ma'am," I greet her politely, and she smiles at me. "How're you, Ariel?" She asks, and I smile at her. "I'm fine, ma'am. Is the Alpha in?" I ask her, and she glances back to the door before she returns her gaze to look at me. "You have been here more than six times today. Is everything alright?" She asks, and I slowly nod my head. "Alright then. He's inside," She finally walks away, and I push the door open, forgetting to even knock. I barge in to see him sitting behind his desk and having his attention on a book. He looks as handsome as always, and the sudden urge to go hug him spurs through me, but I try to hold back. "Did you
Chapter 43 "What! You rejected her? Are you kidding me?" Max squeaks as he covers his mouth and narrows his eyes, and I sigh briefly. "Crazy, right?" I mumble as I rub my forehead as I recline on the chair. "Yes, very crazy. You have been thinking about this same girl like she has your life around her fingers, and you threw the only opportunity you have away, just like that? This is crazy, and I don't even know what to say," He utters before he giggles like this is all funny. "Come on, Max. Can you stop blaming me? It was so sudden that I didn't know what to do or say at that time. I mean... Ugh! You are so annoying," I shake my head as I rake my hair with my fingers. I'm so frustrated. "What should I do now, Max? Will she be mad at me now?" I ask him, but he only rolls his eyes. "How would you feel if you were rejected the way you did to her?" He inquires, and I bite my bottom lip. "I would feel bad," I shrug, and he clicks his fingers. "Now, that's it. Now, think about a man
