Kim At first, I was happy that Maya was demoted for a week. I thought it would be the beginning of the end for her. But, when the night guard told me he had seen them kissing, I lost it. I had failed to even get a hug from Zane but Maya already got a kiss. Although the man told me it was brief, my anger did not reduce. Zane was supposed to be mine, I did whatever he wanted me to do and worked on my appearance. After Harlow’s destruction of my house, I needed someone higher than him and Zane was the only one. If I was on Zane’s good side, Harlow wouldn’t be able to get to me. Besides, I could get him fired. The good thing I had proof that we had slept together. I could allege sexual harassment and he would be toast. I had to create distance between Zane and Maya but I couldn’t do it alone. There was only one person who could help, a person I knew was interested in Maya. "I still can't believe they’ve kissed already," I sighed as I leaned back in my chair. "Soon Zane might start dat
Maya When I returned to my office, I noticed that Kim was acting different. She was quite civil and refrained from making impertinent comments that used to annoy me. She even apologized to me for what she did. I didn't know what was going on with her but I hoped it would continue. She was much more bearable with her mouth closed. I found it odd that she worked really hard during those days and was willing to help out. Zane and I had barely talked since the time we accidentally kissed which was a relief for me because I couldn’t tell how the conversation would go. The staff at the company got busier towards the end of the month so there was that too. There were reports to write, projects to evaluate, meetings and so much data to analyze leaving very little time for chitchat among us all. Somehow we all survived and the last week rolled by. Something took me to the main notice board on the last Friday of the month. I was shocked to see that Kim had won the Employee of the Month awar
Maya It was weird how situations could change in such a short time. Two hours back, I would never have imagined that I'd be lying naked next to my company’s new CEO with my arm on his stomach. My head was near his chest and I could feel the rhythm of his breathing. He was staring at the ceiling, his mind lost in thought. Maybe this was a terrible mistake, or maybe not. But, I knew it changed everything between us. I was not sure about my thoughts on the situation. I couldn’t stop worrying about what would happen to us. Did he want a relationship or nothing to do with me? I was worried he was going to toss me out like some useless garbage. It was only after sex that I got back to my senses and remembered that he had once walked out of the building with Kim and they had never been seen together again. Was that going to happen to me as well? It hurt to think that the beautiful moments we had shared had to be put in the past when we both went back to our lives. He drove me to heights I
Kim The cheque was cashed, the money was in my hand bag and I felt ecstatic. Aside from the occasional allowances, this was my first real pay from Milner Insurance. If I felt this happy now, how would it be when I got my salary? Being an adult wasn’t so hard after all. Took me only about ten minutes to get this precious award and the money that came with it. It was so easy to win and I didn't have to work as hard as everyone might think. I mean everyone except Maya and Harry. You couldn’t fool those two and it was like their minds worked in the same way. If they got married they'd probably have equally perfect kids. It was unfortunate that she had rejected Harry, but we were not yet about to give up. Zane had left office with her just like he had done with me. She probably thought there was a chance. He had started avoiding me, and I knew that she was going to experience that soon. Zane was a jerk, and I loved jerks. Chasing them was exhilarating and fun. I hated being with men who
MayaAs soon as I hanged up after speaking to a client on phone, I heard a soft knock on the door. “Come in,” I said. I knew it was Kim because I had heard her footsteps a while ago. She thought I had not noticed that she was always eavesdropping. I wondered what incriminating things she hoped to hear from my mouth. I had decided to pretend not to notice it until she got fed up. She opened the door and entered my office. She was wearing a red blouse tucked into a black pencil skirt. Her ponytail was a little bit too tight but it didn't seem to be causing any strain on her face. “Miller's assistant says you're needed in the HR office,” her sharp eyes studied my face.My heart saw this as an opportunity to increase its beat. I pressed my fingers together and took a deep breath. I hope he hadn't found out that I worked at St. Felicity's during office days. I hadn't been at the center since the day I had to tutor a child before she went for a competition. The person with the photograph
Zane’s POVAnother body. For the past week, I had been getting reports of bodies of members of my pack. I had no choice but to leave the company, return to Misenium and take charge of my duties as an alpha. I had been there for two days and hadn’t yet figured out the perpetrator but I knew it wouldn’t take long before I found out and made them pay for the terrible things they’d done. This one was of a young woman. She lay on the grass, her hair matted on the dry blood covering the grass. Her head seemed to have been hit by a blunt object as the back of it was a mess. It was a pitiful sight, seeing a young soul gone, leaving behind all the dreams and possibilities they had.“I don’t get it,” I said. “I don’t smell vampire around any of the crime scenes. Whoever is killing this people is a wolf.”At first, I had thought it was Aaron, the vampire trying to get revenge on me for locking him up but the second body I had seen made it clear that it was a wolf. The scent seemed masked by vam
Zane’s POVFive years back, my father mysteriously left the pack and has never been seen since. No one knew why he left, or where he was. For the last two years of his rule, my father had become increasingly horrible. He drunk a lot, spent pack funds extravagantly on meaningless things, and refused to be accountable for anything. He stopped caring about his children and nearly drove our mother crazy. It was when he started hitting her that I cut off ties with him. The pack was going down really fast and people were becoming fed up of him. Because of that, there were several attempts at ending his life. Everyone close to him tried to convince him to mend his ways for everybody’s sake. One day, his bodyguard was found dead in the alpha’s residence and my father was gone.The vision I had seen of him when I touched the roses showed he was in a cave I knew very well. I had spent a big part of my childhood playing in it with my friends. I felt angry that he had chosen to hide there when h
KimMiller's office was very spacious and contained plush seats. It was hard to imagine that it was scorching hot outside with the advanced air conditioning in there. You're probably thinking I wanted that office too but unfortunately or fortunately for you, I was not that greedy, yet. Having Maya Bennett out of the company was so satisfying it felt like I would never need anything else in order to be happy.“I'm so glad you finally did it,” I told Miller who was glaring at me like I had just killed someone he loved. The look on his face told me he was one step away from hitting me to death. We both knew I can never be as competent as Maya Bennett and while I didn't care, I was sure he did. This was going to affect the company and not in a very positive way. Maya had been more committed to her job than I would ever be.“You know I didn't want to fire her,” he said, opening a black file which was on top of the table. “And I may not have been able to even suspend her if you hadn’t manag
