Hi lovely readers... This book is a sequel to The Alpha's Rejection but it can be read as a standalone. Thank you for the support you've given me thus far. I truly appreciate it. I hope you support this book too... what do you think about it so far? Throw our characters some sparkly gems if you're enjoying it. Love you all.
“Mmmmmmmm,” I moaned as I stretched my limbs and curled my toes in bed as I awoke from a very satisfying deep sleep. It was a weekend, which meant, no work for two days. Yay! I could binge-watch as many dramas as I want and sleep as much as I want with no disturbance. No need to panic about tomorrow’s outfit because I wasn’t going nowhere! My excitement died down when I suddenly remembered what happened last night. I met Jace with another woman and I cried like a fool. Then my boss hugged me to comfort me. He hugged me... I bit my lip, replaying the scene in my mind. The way his hands felt around me… his manly scent wafted through my nostrils and I made sure I took several whiffs before the hug ended. He smelled so good I couldn’t resist the moan that escaped my lips. Heat crept up my cheeks, recalling how he chuckled. Why did I have to embarrass myself like that? Burying my face in my pillow, I groaned while kicking my feet on the bed. Luckily it was the weekend and I didn’t
Lewis I stayed back in my office to search on how to be romantic. Don’t get me wrong. I used to be a player but it wasn’t that hard to get girls to my bed. They got enchanted by my looks and allure. So I never really had to make effort. It was so easy… But things were different now. Ariana is my mate and she deserves the best. I have to be romantic and be a gentleman in every possible way. I desperately needed her to fall in love with me otherwise I would be mateless and Wesley would go feral. Not good for a beta wolf. The answers I got after my search were crazy. Fuck. I saw something like finishing house chores, cooking... How the fuck was I supposed to do that? I knew nothing about doing chores. This answer was definitely written by a woman. Nevertheless, I read through the other points and made sure they were stuck in my mind. I stood up from the desk and smirked, smoothing my gray suit. Little mate… get ready to get swept off your feet by Mr. romantic. ‘Tch… I hope you're
Ariana “To bring you some work…. The one you didn’t finish yesterday.” My jaw almost dropped to the floor when I heard that. This man loved work so much. He had to follow me to my house to bring the work I didn’t finish yesterday. Anyway… it’s okay since if he wasn’t here, I would have been devoured by Jace against my will. He came in like a knight in shining armor and beat the shit out of him. I sighed, he looked really tough and manly when he protected me. “Since you’re frightened, you can just do the work on Monday. Pack up so that I take you away from here,” he said and started to walk out of the room when I called out to him. “Lewis..” He whipped his head around, his eyes widening. I blushed... He had told me to call him Lewis, right? “Thank you,” I added and turned around, walked to my closet, and began to pack my clothes, trying to ignore the loud thundering of my heart. “You’re welcome little- I mean Ariana.” He said and left the bedroom. I smiled to myself... What was
I don’t know how I ran away from Lewis’s apartment and found myself in a bar, downing beers like a pro. I was tipsy as fuck but it did nothing to curb the anger and pain I was feeling deep down. Olivia… That call was the last straw. All the things I kept bottled up came crashing down on me at once. I trusted her. Yet she had been fucking my man all this time. She even had the guts to call me and warn me to stay away from Jace. Taking a swig of the 5th beer I suddenly recalled Olivia’s behavior. It now made sense why she was always de-campaigning Jace. She used to say he wasn’t the right one for me and I should leave him… so she wanted him for herself. I chuckled to myself… well she can keep him. Who would want a lying jerk? Not me… that’s for sure. I felt my phone vibrating in the back pocket of my jeggings, making me groan. Who the hell was calling me when I was having some me-time? “Hello?” I answered, furrowing my brows. It was a strange number. “Where are you, Ariana?” R
Lewis I deliberately knocked on Ariana’s door half-naked… I wanted to flaunt my bare chest to seduce her and it worked… I saw her checking me out. From the way she averted my gaze, I could tell she was blushing even though her tanned skin hid the evidence. She had left an hour ago for a walk and I let her… since a romantic guy gives his girl space. A point I got from the internet which I thought was total bullshit… I wanted to be with my mate every second of the day. I sighed, plopping on the couch and turning on the TV. The human town was boring as fuck… I would have gone for a run in the forest if I was back home… or I would have taken over patrol to chase away rogues... Wolves that had gone feral and terrorized packs. My phone rang and I looked at the screen... my sister was calling. Smiling to myself, I picked up. "Hey sis.. what's up," I said as soon as the call connected. It’s been long since I heard from her and I still felt guilty for banishing
Ariana I found myself stumbling through a thick forest. My feet bare as they stepped on leaves and twigs, snapping them in half. Cuts and blood now graced the soles of my feet from stepping on the rough ground and stones. Where was I? I looked around, not recognizing the area. Did the City have such forests? Never heard of them…I glanced down at my disheveled state, my clothes tattered and covered in blood. What happened? I kept stumbling forward but strangely, despite my appearance, I felt no pain. Then I heard it.. the heavy stomping on the ground, coming in my direction. A shiver ran down my spine and I broke into a run on instinct. I looked back and saw dogs, or was it wolves? Chasing after me. It's normal since I was in a forest, but were they supposed to be that big? Most of them stood at three-foot or four. My heart banged hard in my chest... I could feel it in my throat. My legs felt like they were made of lead. Why couldn't I run faster? Would I be eaten to dea
I glanced at the clock in my office. It was time for the Monday meeting. Standing, I began to prepare my documents together with Lewis’s for the meeting. The CEO always had a meeting every Monday with the administration and managers from other departments. The company was diverse. It was involved in electronics, products like beauty and skin care and other stuff. I didn't have time to read about everything. But I was intrigued by the game company… Perhaps I could apply to change jobs and build my first robot that could play games and wrestle? Ok... I was getting ahead of myself now. I giggled. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try though. I smoothed my white and black suit and gave myself a once over to make sure I looked presentable. Today, I wore a black sheath skirt, reaching just above the knees, with a statement-making white jacket with strong pointed shoulders and a checked satin shirt-top underneath with a pair of black 12inch stilettos. I wanted to reach my boss's height… I d
Ariana Today's meeting agenda piqued my interest. I was impressed to discover that the new recent game that had gotten many people talking was developed by a woman.. and she was the lady boss of this company. How amazing was she? Looking at the CEO and Vice…was she young too? Oh, how envious I felt…. I'm close to my thirties and haven't done shit with my life. But I knew I wasn't late.. this was an opportunity for me... Ten minutes later, I smiled in triumph as I finally typed in the last word. Finito! I clamped my hands together in satisfaction. Now I can print it out and take it to Lewis. He loved to work with hard copies even though technology had made things easier for us. I ran through the document once more and after correcting the errors, I clicked on print. Seconds later, the copy machine ejected the documents but I frowned when I saw the outcome. Some words were visible, some faint… others didn't get printed out at all. It seems the cartridge had run out of ink.
