Willow’s POV

For some reason I could not explain, I just felt like the day was going to be different. I woke up with no anxiety, and weirdly enough, I was happy to go to work. Maybe it was because, for the first time in a while, my boss had treated me like it mattered. Was it that easy? Was I that easy? A few words here and there and I had already folded.

Maybe Lennon was right, the last thing I needed to be doing was forgiving someone who had offended me so soon. Dimitri Rustanov had not even apologized, and I doubted he was ever going to. But just because he had said a few nice words, my mind had been swayed.

I sighed as I got out of the shower. It was hard living with so much negativity. I had never been someone to thrive with these kinds of negative emotions. Instead, they plummeted my mood, and it had been so obvious the past weeks. The last thing I wanted or needed was to feel even more of these emotions. If whatever Dimitri was doing was fake, then I was just going to play righ

  • The CEO’s Human Mate   Chapter Seventeen

    It had been two weeks since I had decided to give Dimitri a chance. And I did not regret it. If anyone had told me just how sweet my boss could be, I would have disagreed. The person I was seeing was a completely different person. I could not count the number of times he had brought me flowers. My bedside table was practically overflowing with vases at this point. I even had to tell him to stop.I picked up the second bracelet he had given me and I smiled. I knew Dimitri wanted to give me so much more. But that was not what I wanted for now. And I loved that he was trying his best to respect my choice. My heart was very full, and I realized that what he said was right. If Dimitri had been this gentle with me when we met, we would not have been able to stop ourselves from mating.Today was the day Kendra was coming to Russia. I had not told her anything about werewolves, and I did not even know where to start. But I was going to tell her, because she was my best friend. So, when I hear

    Two days had gone by quickly, and by the time I was getting into bed the next day, I still had not seen Dimitri. I did not know how to feel about that. I had met several people and even explored the castle, but still no sign of him. I guess he had taken what I told his brother extremely seriously.I sighed when I got into the bathroom. At this point, I did not know whether I wanted Dimitri to leave me alone or not. I wanted to see him, I could not lie. But was it too soon? Was I going to burst out again when I saw him?So many questions, no answers.I stopped in my tracks when I got back into my bedroom. Dimitri was standing by the window and he turned as soon as I got out. We stared at each other for while, neither of us speaking. I did not know what to say. So, I stood immobile, waiting for him to tell me why he was here.“I’m sorry for not informing you before coming, especially since you did not want to see me. If my presence bothers you, then I will leave you alone.”His tone was

    When I woke up, it was to Dimitri staring at me with a worried expression on his face. The worry eased a bit when I opened my eyes. He was no longer naked. He had a robe on but I could not forget what he looked like without a stitch of clothing. And suddenly, everything came back to me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes again.Dimitri had turned into a wolf in front of me. Dimitri had fucking transformed into a wolf in my presence. I opened my eyes again and stared at him. “Did I imagine all of that or did you really turn into a wolf in front of me?” I asked, needing some confirmation.“You did not imagine it.”“Damn,” I winced, then I sat up in bed. I frowned when I realized I was actually in bed. “How did I get here?”“You fainted. I carried you,” he explained and I nodded. That explained the piercing headache.“Can I have some painkillers before you explain any more of this to me?” I asked quietly. Almost as if he had been preparing, Dimitri took a glass of water and two pil

    After Dimitri gave me the bracelet, my mind had been wandering. Was that some sort of declaration? Was Dimitri trying to tell me something? He looked tense, almost as if this trip was taking a lot from him, and the last thing I wanted was to ask him even more questions. So, I just stewed in my thoughts till we reached the airstrip. Dimitri helped me out and we were ushered in the plane - or should I say private jet - by a pretty hostess. We got on the flight quietly, neither of us wanting to break the silence. Although my thoughts were heavy, I found that silence with Dimitri was very comfortable. It did not feel like all the other times. We got in the comfortable seats and I sighed in contentment. Dimitri chuckled a little and I looked at him and laughed. Then I admitted quietly, “This is my second international flight.”He raised one brow. I was tempted to ask him how he was able to do that but I stopped myself just in time. I knew I was a weirdo but there were limits to everythin

  • The CEO’s Human Mate   Chapter Thirteen

    “What the hell do you mean by you’re going to Russia?” Now, this was how I would have expected my best friend to react when I told her my boss wanted me to go to Russia. Or, “Oh my goodness, Russia! Girl, take me along with you, so I can find myself some Eastern European hunk!”That would have been funny and a lot more believable.But all she had said was, “You’re leaving for Russia tomorrow. Okay, I see.”That was it. No questions, no surprise, no strong emotion. I was in my car driving to the mall to get some essentials. It was summer in Russia and I needed some lightweight clothes like the one I was wearing. I had done some research but I still needed to call Dimitri Rustanov. After all, it was his home country.“Why do you sound so…?” I trailed out, unsure about which word to use.“Why do I sound so what?” Kendra asked and I rolled my eyes. I bet she knew exactly what I was talking about and she was just being coy. And I truly did not understand why she was doing that.“So quiet!
