Freya’s POVSlowly my eyes began to drift open. I saw a figure.I blinked through the fog. Slowly, recognition covered my gaze. Killian was leaned over the table, close enough that his shadow fell across me, one hand buried in my curls. His fingers moved, slowly stroking through my hair in long soothing passes that sent heat curling down my spine. His hazel eyes stayed locked on the scattered papers in front of him, focused,yet every gentle scrape of his fingertips against my scalp felt intentional and possessive. Sea surged forward, her low whine vibrating in my chest, even as my human mind screamed to pull away. The contrast was maddening: his calm, unhurried attention to the documents while his hand claimed me without looking up.Even after everything I had heard from Mr. Philip. I just watched his hazel eyes. Something about this moment reminded me of those days in my past life when I would hide behind the door, all to get a glimpse of him. Not once did he notice—I w
Killian’s POVShe refused to acknowledge my existence at work. Freya, why are you so heartless? The urge to abandon everything I was doing filled my thoughts while I swiftly flipped through the pages of the documents in front of me. “Alpha, you’re about to sign in the wrong place.” Hansel’s voice broke through my thoughts. Blinking myself back into reality, I groaned. This woman was once again testing the limits of my patience. But could it be because of what happened this morning? Knowing my wife’s current behavior, she was definitely holding a grudge. Picking up my phone, I wanted to call her, but ended up hesitating. Even if I did call her, what was I going to say? I scrolled over to the online healer I had been speaking to. I’d responded to the last message she sent. “During pregnancy, most women tend to get irritated at the slightest occasion. It’s best not to do anything that could trigger her hormones.” Pinching the space between my brows, I exhaled.
Freya’s POV“Umm… actually, I’m—”“Mr. Philip…”The venomous tone at the edge of her voice told me the person speaking was Vivian. Seeing her, all the assistants scattered back to their desks and focused on their work. If a pin dropped, it would echo across the room. I stole a glance toward where Killian had stood, but he wasn’t there anymore. A lingering sensation pooled deep in my chest. Vivian’s heels tapped a few times against the floor as she came over toward us. Seeing me, the smile on her face brightened. That was unusual, because she had never smiled at me—not even once. What was she up to this time? She placed a hand over my shoulders. “This is the new assistant, right?” Mr. Philip only nodded, his face colder than before when his eyes locked on Vivian. “Killian told me to handle her so she could get comfortable.” Why would he do that? I mean, he didn’t exactly have any reason not to, but if he really told her to do this, then why send Hansel to ta
Freya’s POVWhen I got to Killian’s company, everything still looked the same.A few pieces were missing here and there, but it was still the same place: V’s Biotech Holdings. And now I was going to work here under my own identity—Freya. This was an opportunity I had longed for in the past but never found the courage to ask for. Now that I was here, I was determined to seize every opportunity that came my way. I told myself I was going to focus, but seeing Killian and Vivian being so close made my chest tighten. My wolf stirred uncontrollably. And even now, standing in front of Killian after everything he’d done, it didn’t stop me from being overwhelmed by his presence. Why did he ask everyone to leave?Killian took a seat, leaning back, his eyes still fixed right on me with no emotion in them. I noticed the strange way he stared at me the moment I walked into his office. Unconsciously, one hand clutched my purse, up against my thigh, while the other reached up to my c
Killian’s POVI didn’t have the answer to her question because I didn’t know why I did it.Kale got overwhelmed by her scent, and we both lost control.I didn’t mean to scare her.But that look in her eyes—terror wrapped around her like a shield.She stepped back, her hands clutched her robe tighter. “If you had marked me and I wasn’t prepared, do you have even the slightest inkling about what could have happened to the pup?”I swallowed, body still reeling from the daze.It wasn’t like that…I took a deep breath, knowing full well I had lost control.Even now, I was barely holding on.“Hansel will bring you to the company. I can’t be around you now.”I left before Freya replied; my heart was pounding in ways I never expected.Getting outside, the scorching hot sun seared my skin, but the fire between my chest rose up even more.Toward the garage, betas and omegas whispered their greetings and gave the practiced bow.I barely heard anything they were saying.Getting inside my car, th
Freya’s POVThe word “please” from Killian Greymark should have been impossible. Yet here it was, low and rough, vibrating through his chest. His heartbeat thundered faster than before, a wild rhythm that echoed the frantic pulse in my own throat.“I can’t,” I admitted faintly.“Why?” Killian hushed, bringing himself even closer until the distance between us stretched thin. “Afraid you’re going to like it too much?”I bit the inside of my mouth, hating how my body was responding to his tease. Whatever. Freya. Get this over with. It’s a necessary evil for the Oakcreek pack. Those were the words I told myself.I hesitated. One heartbeat. Two.Then I closed the last inch.Our lips met softly at first—tentative, almost testing. Then I pulled away, hearing a sharp sound ringing inside my head. “Done.”Killian snickered. “Not enough. Do you want to work or not?”“You’re blackmailing me?”“Maybe.”I closed my eyes tightly, wrapping my hand around the back of his head and yanking
