Zelda laid on the couch with a blanket over her body, her eyes glued on the television as she chewed on her popcorn. She wasn't feeling sleepy and decided to watch some Netflix series and it helped a lot. Because she almost started thinking about the past, about that particular man that jilted her. She had trusted him, loved him, given him her whole but what did he do? He left her because he got a better job and said he needed a better woman to go with that job.Halfway through the series she was watching, Zelda laughed at something funny, but her laughter was interrupted by the doorbell, which made Zelda jump at the sudden and unexpected noise.She hesitated before she stood up from the couch, holding her phone. Who could be at the door at this time of the night?! Zelda thought to herself as she warily walked over to the front door.The door opened and Alessia walked in, holding a suitcase in her left hand. Zelda stared at her friend in suprise, she hadn't expected her to come home a
Alessia had a nervous look on her face, unsure about why she was being called as she walked towards the main board room. The door to the boardroom opened, giving her a way to walk through and that's when all eyes seated turned to look at her. She was a minute late for the meeting. She gulped down her saliva, as the burning gaze of almost everyone's eyes in the room was on her, but a particular set of eyes made her legs go weak and she almost fell. Her eyes met with his and she gasped in shock. He was sitting on the CEO's chair. Does it mean he was the CEO? All this while she had been bumping into him in the elevator and the thought never came to her. That was when realization came to her that she had once heard one of the board members mentioning his name during her presentation and when he had introduced himself as Marcus, the thought of him being the CEO had never crossed her mind, she only thought that he was just another employee like her. She pushed some strands of her hair ou
Alessia stared at him curiously and cautiously as her eyes drifted down to his ring which glittered through the sunlight." Nice ring. Where did you get it from? " She asked, curiously." It's a long story and I'm kinda stuck with it. Why do you ask? " Kane replied, looking down at the ring that was a reminder of his torment."No reason, it just looks familiar, that's all." Alessia replied, unable to take her eyes off it. Kane smiled a little, knowing that she was only partially telling him the truth.Marcus stood behind a tree and watched as Kane and Alessia talked. He didn't want to be here, but when he saw Alessia leaving the office earlier his wolf forced him to follow her, wanting to be close to her again and now he was here and he could feel his wolf growing angry that Kane was anywhere near his mate. He was jealous of how easily they seemed to be talking, but he was also confused. How do they know each other? Have they met before? Why was Kane here? All these questions ran thro
The next morning.Alessia walked into the company as fast as possible, keeping an eye out for Marcus so she could avoid him. She even took the stairs instead of the elevator just to avoid bumping into him, especially after her dream. The image of the wolf changing into Marcus couldn't be possible, but she still had her doubts about it.She climbed the stairs to her floor and as she exited the staircase going to her office, her secretary walked towards her. Alessia was shocked when her secretary informed her that her office had been changed and she was now going to be working on the same floor as the CEO. "I suppose I'll start packing my things to move then." Alessia replied, stunned and a little scared by the sudden change. There was no way he could possibly know about my dream, so is this because of that mate thing he said at the cemetery? Alessia thought to herself."There's no need, everything has already been moved for you, all you have to do is go to your new office." Alessia's
"Are you sure you want to know how I'm going to punish you?" He asked, with a mysterious smile. His gaze was like that of a fire burning her; tenebrous and bewitching.She could feel her knees shaking, about to release their grip on the floor, but she was too curious to see if he really meant his words." Yes, I…I'm sure." Alessia replied, slightly hesitant and nervous about what he was going to do to her.Alessia's words created a flurry inside Marcus, as Draven excitedly jumped for joy in his head, wanting nothing more than to come forward, mark and mate with Alessia. Marcus reached out and wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer so that she was now flush against his chest and he was looking down at her. Her lips were so tempting and the way she bit her bottom lip ever so slightly sent Marcus over the edge and before he knew it, he was kissing her like a mad beast. Alessia's eyes wide opened, startled and shocked by his action, but soon her lips parted and she was reve
A week had passed since their intense kiss, but because of it Alessia had been absent minded at work and kept thinking of the kiss. She hadn't seen Marcus since the day they shared that kiss and was grateful he didn't show himself to her because she didn't know how she was going to react. She had also received a lot of missed calls from her mother the past few days, but ignored it and didn't bother checking on her messages. She had thought about blacklisting her mother's number, but decided against it because she was still worrying about her.Alessia was in her room, relaxing and taking a nap because it was the weekend and she didn't need to go to work. When she woke up after an hour she grabbed her phone only to see that she had received a voicemail message from her mum. She hesitated before she checked it and was shocked by what she heard. Dread filled her as she quickly put on her clothes and ran out of her room, bumping into Zelda in the process. Shocked Zelda stared at her with
Marcus took to the road, taking the fast route possible. He was driving down a winding road when suddenly he came upon a car that had crashed into a huge tree. Smoke was coming from the engine of the car and although Marcus couldn't see if the driver was still inside the car or not, he still pulled over as his attention immediately went to the rogue stalking towards the car. Marcus got out of his car and growled in warning, letting his Alpha aura come out in waves. The rogue flinched and turned at the sound of the warning growl.Marcus walked towards the rogue, growling in warning, but the rogue didn't move an inch. Marcus carried on walking towards him when suddenly he smelled his mate's scent, which caused him to worry about her, but grew angrier at the rogue. Marcus's eyes turned black with anger as his wolf was pushing forward, trying to take control so he could end the rogue and go to his mate. Both Marcus and his wolf Draven knew that as a human their mate wouldn't heal as fast
" How is she? " He asked, standing behind the three healers as they cleaned the injuries on her body.One of the women clasped her hands and turned to him , not looking up to him but she replied, " She isn't responding yet, the injuries are so deep assuming she was a werewolf the healing would have been faster but she isn't. Please just give us time to assess her. " Marcus groaned, knowing she was right, Alessia is just one of those weak humans. At the thought of that, he felt so angered and just had to nod his head " You can go on. " He said, and then left the room without even so much as a backward glance. He had just realised he was worried for a weak human. Those heartless humans who took the life of his parents. And it was pissing him off, knowing that one of them was his mate.Marcus reached his room within some minutes. Right there on his bed, Louisa was seated dressed in a revealing dress. Seeing her made him realise he could pleasure himself in midst of his anger, it has be
