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
Chapter 44 Alpha KaiThe drive to the office today was filled with intense silence. I have been thinking of how to explain to her what happened, but I don't even know where to start. We finally arrive at the office later, she walks over to sit in her usual position. Staring at her from my seat, I gulp down the sudden lump that forms in my throat, while thinking of how to start this awkward conversation. "Ariel," I call her, and she quickly stands up to her feet. "Yes, Sir. Do you need anything?" She asks as she stares at me from there, and I sigh briefly. "Get me my schedule for the week from the secretary," I utter, and she quickly strides out of the office to get the book. She returns almost immediately with the file and drops it on the desk. "Sit," I say to her when she turns to leave, and she glances at me before she sits on the chair across from me. I watch as she fondles with her fingers, looking extremely nervous. The maid was spared because she showed up, but I'm a bit
Chapter 45 Ariel POV "I'm scared," I whisper as I step away from him. I'm not even sure if he feels the same way for me, and hold on! How would he feel the same way for me when he has other women in his life? I should be a joker to think he would feel for me. "What are you scared of?" He looks so innocent now that I feel scared and unsafe around him now. The way he switches from being a bad guy to a sudden innocent guy is creepy and questionable. Now that I think of it, was he really going to kill that maid if I hadn't shown up? Would he have killed her if someone was not there? The thought of it gives me chills and I feel my heart skips a beat. "No... nothing... Uhm... Can you give me some time to think about it?" I ask her, looking everywhere else except his face, and I hear him sigh. "I don't have a second to spare, Ariel. Look at me..." He pauses and raises my face to look at him, his innocent eyes piercing into mine like they want to see through my soul, and I
