Liora's POV

The office had gone quiet after the meeting. The hum of printers and clacking keyboards had faded, leaving only the steady tick of the wall clock above my desk. I was still replaying Jasper’s words in my head — “What’s your opinion on wolves?”

Why had he asked that? Why then?

I tried to shake the thought away and focus on the stack of contracts before me, but my mind was restless, chasing questions that had no safe answers. I was halfway through my next report when my phone buzzed, flashing Mami’s name.

My heart jumped. She never called unless something was wrong.

“Mami?” I whispered, glancing around to make sure no one was nearby.

“Liora, thank the moon you answered.” Her voice was trembling. “We have a problem. A serious one.”

Every muscle in my body tensed. “What happened?”

“It’s him,” she said, and those two words turned my blood to ice.

“Who?” But I already knew.

“Your old mate,” she breathed. “He came into the pack grounds this morning. He was looking for you.”

  • THE HUMAN CEO AND HIS ROUGE ALPHA FEMALE    Chapter 31

    The morning light crept softly through the curtains, warm but hesitant — like it, too, was afraid to touch the silence that filled the apartment. Liora sat on the edge of her bed, shoulders slightly hunched, her eyes fixed on the floor. Her coffee had gone cold in her hands. She hadn’t taken a sip.Last night had been long.Too long.Jonathan had finally fallen asleep close to dawn, curled beside her, one arm wrapped around his bear. The little girl was still asleep in the small room across the hall, her breathing steady and soft. Everything looked peaceful on the surface. But inside, Liora’s wolf was restless — pacing, growling low in her chest, sensing danger that wasn’t yet visible.She rubbed her temple, forcing herself to breathe evenly. She couldn’t afford to break down — not in front of her son, not with the stranger child still under her care. She had to be strong. She had to pretend that things were normal.Normal.She almost laughed.Nothing about her life was normal anymore

    The office was quiet that night.Too quiet.The building usually buzzed with life—phones ringing, printers running, footsteps echoing along the marble floor. But now, only the hum of the air conditioner and the faint tapping of Liora’s keyboard filled the silence.Most of the staff had gone home hours ago. The city lights outside painted silver lines across the glass walls, stretching over her desk where piles of files still waited. It was almost midnight, but Liora couldn’t bring herself to leave. Her body was tired, but her mind wouldn’t rest.She had been typing for minutes without really seeing the words on her screen. Her thoughts kept drifting—to Jonathan, to the little girl, to Mami. And to the strange scent that had followed her again that morning. It had been faint, barely there, but enough to make her wolf stir uneasily under her skin.Something was moving again.Something she couldn’t see.She rubbed her neck and leaned back on her chair, staring at the empty hallway outside

  • THE HUMAN CEO AND HIS ROUGE ALPHA FEMALE    Chapter 29

    Morning came slowly, stretching itself across the skyline of the city. The light filtered through the glass walls of the tall building, painting faint gold lines across Jasper’s office. The air smelled faintly of paper, ink, and coffee — everything he usually loved about a quiet start. But today, it all felt heavier.Jasper sat behind his desk, staring at his computer screen, though the words on it refused to form sentences. His eyes traced the same line three times before he sighed and leaned back in his chair. His tie was loosened, his sleeves rolled up, but even the comfort of that couldn’t ease the quiet storm brewing in his head.He hadn’t meant to call her.Not last night.Not after hours.But when he saw her name pop up on his task list earlier that evening, something in him reacted before logic did.Liora.Her name still lingered on his tongue like an unspoken thought.He rubbed his temple and tried to focus on the project reports stacked on his desk. Everything around him scr

    Morning came too fast.The soft hum of Lagos traffic floated through the half-open window, mixed with the faint smell of Mami’s tea boiling in the kitchen. Liora turned on her side, eyes still half-closed. Jonathan was curled up beside her, sleeping with his small fist resting against her arm.For a few seconds, everything was calm. Peaceful.Until she remembered the message.She sat up slowly, blinking as last night’s words flashed in her mind:“Don’t forget to rest.”Jasper.Her boss.The last person she expected to send anything like that.Her heart gave a small, nervous flutter.It wasn’t a love text, of course — just four simple words — but somehow, it felt heavier than it should.Personal. Caring. Unusual.She rubbed her temple, scolding herself softly. “Don’t overthink it, Liora. He’s just… being nice.”Still, she couldn’t help checking her phone again before getting up. The message was still there. No follow-up. No emoji. Just his name and those four words.Mami looked up from

    The office was almost empty when Liora stepped out.The hall lights were dim, casting long shadows on the polished floor. Her heels clicked softly as she walked toward the elevator, clutching her bag to her side.The echo of Jasper’s words still lingered in her mind. “Don’t let it break you.”She sighed quietly as she stepped into the elevator.It felt strange hearing something like that from him. Jasper was always the strict type — calm, confident, impossible to read. But tonight, he sounded... human.The elevator doors closed, and for the first time that day, she let herself lean against the wall.Her head ached. Her eyes burned from staring at her screen too long. She hadn’t even eaten since lunch.When the doors opened, cool air rushed in from the lobby.The security guard by the exit nodded. “Goodnight, Miss Gray.”“Goodnight,” she said with a small smile.Outside, the night was calm. The city lights blinked against the dark sky, and cars moved lazily through the street. She pul

    The rest of the day passed in a blur of reports and meetings.Liora tried to focus on her work, but her mind kept drifting back to that moment — the way Jasper had said her name. Quiet, careful, almost gentle.It wasn’t like him.He was always composed, almost cold. But today… something had shifted.By late afternoon, the office had begun to thin out. The soft hum of computers mixed with the fading buzz of conversations. Liora was still at her desk, finishing a report, when a familiar voice broke through the calm.“Miss Gray.”Her hand froze mid-typing. She looked up.Jasper stood by her desk, one hand tucked in his pocket, the other holding a file.“Yes, sir?”His eyes flicked to her screen. “Still working?”“I wanted to finish this before the day ends.”He studied her for a moment. “Come to my office when you’re done.”Her chest tightened slightly. “Now?”He gave a small nod. “Now.”Jasper’s office was quiet as always — modern, glass walls, a wide desk, and a view of the city painte
