The New Alpha Wants Me 107
Liam pins Carlos under a gaze so sharp, I twist my fingers together, the nerves in my hands burning. Shame crawls up my skin like fire.What was I thinking letting another man stand so close? Letting him touch me?“I— I got some ink on my face,” I stammer, panic making my voice thin. “He was just helping.”“Mr. Desmond.” Carlos greets him easily, composed as ever.Liam steps inside, nods once to him then crosses the room until he is standing between us. A wall of calm possession.My heart pounds like I’ve been caught doing something criminal.“So… how’s the project going?” Liam’s tone is casual, but the undercurrent isn’t.“Everything’s moving smoothly,” Carlos replies. “Melanie is exceptional at what she does.”“She has been very stressed lately,” Liam says, his voice measured. “I’m adding another batch to this project to take some of the load off my wife.”He slips an arm around my waist. The sudden warmth of his touch startles me.“Wouldn’t want her getting sick,” he adds lightly.

The question is casual yet it hits like a blow.“It's been a long time.. Ten years maybe” I answer. He nods slowly. “Do you have a wedding photo?”I blink at the shift in topic. “What?”“A wedding photo,” he repeats. “Most people do.”I open my mouth then close it. A strange chill moves down my spine. I don't really remember our wedding. Maybe it's been so long.“No,” I say quietly. “I don’t actually. We had a small courthouse wedding. Just us. It wasn’t a big deal”He tilts his head. “No pictures at all?”“I… I never thought about it… There must be pictures somewhere. I mean, we both have always been workaholic to pay attention to such details” It hits me then..how odd that is. No framed memories. No captured moment of vows or rings or even laughter. I don’t even remember what dress I wore.Carlos doesn’t comment but something in his expression changes. Curiosity or maybe concern.“Look,” I say, desperate to shift the energy. “This partnership… If it's going to work, we need clean

MELANIE:I glance up from the quarterly report, eyes narrowing at the numbers blurring on my screen. It's been a long morning of meetings and back-to-back emails yet my inbox still looks like it’s hosting a riot. I lean back in my chair, the leather creaking beneath me as I press my fingers to my temples. Management doesn’t sleep and being head of it means I barely blink.A soft knock at my door breaks through my thoughts.“Come in,” I call, my voice brisk.My assistant Maya pokes her head in. “Mr. Desmond wants you in the boardroom.”I raise an eyebrow. “Now?”She nods. “He said it’s important.”Of course he did. My husband only summons me like this when he has either landed a major deal or is about to drop me into one.I stand, smoothing my pants down, ignoring the little flutter of irritation that stirs in my chest. We have always promised to keep our work professional and for the whole part we do. But there are days when I wonder if he forgets that I’m not just his Company's damn

CARLOS:I fix my shirt and put on the cufflinks, staring at my reflection in the mirror. Despite grooming myself just fine, the swollen eyes are still very much obvious. I sigh, grabbing my phone and bag before leaving the room. I walk in the small kitchenette and open the fridge. A half eaten sandwich from yesterday morning is still there. I grab it and stuff it in my mouth before walking out of the kitchen to the main door.But just as I turn on the doorknob and pull open a little, a man standing at the door alerts me instantly. My hands ball into a fist but the moment his familiar face comes into view, I relax. “Ethan” I address him curtly, opening the door wide enough. “What are you doing here?”“Hey dude” he says casually, subtly glancing inside my room.“Belle sent you here to spy on me, didn't she?” I ask groggily, glancing at the bag he is holding.“She sent me here, yes but just to see how you are doing” He says, “C'mon, let me in” he invites himself in my house and goes to

MELANIE: My heart is still racing about the whole encounter with that crazy man. Even as I tug the kids in the bed and wait for my husband to return home. I don't know if it's the fear that something could have happened to me and the kids or this strange nausea when he held me… like I meant something precious to him. I shake off the thoughts for the tenth time now and walk up to the kitchen. The scent of garlic and simmering tomatoes curl around me like a blanket but even the familiar comfort of my own kitchen can't settle the tremor in my hands. I stir the sauce again, though it doesn't need it. My eyes flick to the clock in the hallway. Time keeps moving but I feel stuck, left behind in the same moment I have been trying to shake since this afternoon. His arms around me hadn’t been rough or aggressive, not in the way I expected from a man shouting a name like a madman in broad daylight. They were…warm. The kind of embrace that feels too soothing, the kind… I haven't received f

I can't believe this and for a moment, I stand still. My breath is caught in my throat. My wolf that's been quiet ever since we left the Pack grounds stirs within me. The air thickens whilst every instinct in my body pulls me toward her. I watch, still in shock as she holds the kids in a protective and tender way. She smiles so brightly, brushing something off the little boy’s cheek, my heart starts hammering wildly in my chest. My legs move before my brain can even come out of the shock. I walk until I am standing just a step away from her. She looks up, her deeply familiar eyes lock with mine and her smile falters. My chest aches like it’s caving in. “Sofia,” I breathe, voice shuddering from overwhelming emotions. She blinks, slow and confused like she is trying to place me. Her eyes that used to light up seeing me are now lacking any recognition. Is it another hallucination? Am I finally losing it all? Her brows knit. “I’m sorry… Do I know–?” Her voice is all that takes to b
