(Emi’s POV)

A man dressed in a high-end suit and tie shows up at *Sylvie’s Sweets* with a bouquet of flowers and beautifully packaged boxes just as I restock the shelves with some newly baked goodies. Sylvie is manning the counter, ringing out a customer and stops mid action to stare at the lavish display. The customer that Sylvie helping turns to the front, noticing Sylvie’s expression and lack of action. The other customers also look up from what they’re doing to watch the man approach the counter.

I bump my head on the top of the bakery case as I attempt to remove myself from the shelf I’m trying to refill. The man seems to know exactly who he should be delivering to, because he stops at the front of the case right in front of me. He gives me a smile while I stand frozen in shock just staring at him.

“Ms. Moon,” the man greets as he holds out the bouquet to me.

I shake out of my shock as I quickly look around to put the tray and tongs I’m holding. Sylvie immediately grabs them to p

  • The Northern Alpha King’s Sweet Temptation   Chapter 13

    (Emi's POV)I peek out from the doorframe to see Spencer eyeing the tarts and my body deflates at the sight. It really is him. I miss the times when I barely saw his face in person only in the media. Lucky me, I've got to see him twice now in the same month and in the same year in my shop.He glances up and I know I can't pretend I didn't see him. I sigh in annoyance as I walk out fully into the front behind our counters while Sylvie joins me and stands by the cash register. He immediately heads over to me and my body tenses at his incoming closeness. This is the last thing I expected was to see him back here after he and his family trashed my shop.I square my shoulders. "I thought I was quite clear that I--""That's not what Lucian just implied," he cuts in. There's a bit of frustration in the lines of his face and crystal clear in his eyes. "He made it quite clear that we'll be hiring your shop for the claiming ceremony. I wasn't aware you knew my cousin enough to have him show up

  • The Northern Alpha King’s Sweet Temptation   Chapter 11

    (Lucian’s POV) It’s about 10AM when my driver pulls up and parks on the side of the street in front of the Halifax’s luxurious townhouse. I sigh, glaring out the window. No, this is not how I imagined spending my day off, but my little mate decided to do a swan dive into a shallow pond and here I am nursing her back to life and making sure she heals her broken neck. As entertaining as it probably is to see my aunt’s veins pop out on her face when she throws a temper tantrum, I now need to run damage control. Nobody knows I’m coming. I’ve been invited every single week for years, but I’ve never once showed up. Here I am walking up to their front door already regretting it, but I press their doorbell. For a moment, there’s silence until I hear a stampede of feet thundering towards the front door from the inside. The door swings open to an absolute circus and I find myself being dragged through the place to be seated at the table on the porch. “It’s an honor to have you here,” Mrs.

  • The Northern Alpha King’s Sweet Temptation   Chapter 10

    (Emi’s POV) When I awake, he’s already gone. My heart hurts, aching for him. All night he ate me out and got me off with his fingers and tongue. I begged from him to fill me up with something more, but he continued to torture me relentlessly with that wicked tongue and his fingers until I passed out from sheer exhaustion. The echoes of his praise was like a lullaby as I vaguely remember him pulling me into his arms and holding me tight. He had pressed a kiss to a sensitive spot on my shoulder, making promises I know he had no intention of keeping. It’s all the same. The same promises from a bloodline that offer sweet promises they never intend keep. His scent lingers in the air. Daylight only starts to creep across the floorboards. I bet he didn’t wait long until I fell asleep to creep out of here like a thief, stealing away my everything. I force myself to awake, shuffling across cold floorboards yet another reminder I need to buy some carpets or at least some slippers. The

  • The Northern Alpha King’s Sweet Temptation   Chapter 9

    (Emi’s POV) “You can hate me all you want,” Alpha King Lucian tells me with a shrug like he hasn’t continuously shattered my heart into pieces multiple times since arriving here. “I take my business matters seriously. We have a binding contract you agreed to sign two years ago and you will honor that.” I shake my head. “No, I won’t. I might not own any of this shop—” “You own half of it,” he reminds me, crossing his arms. His muscles flex underneath his shirt and I hate how my eyes track the subtle movement. “You picked the name in honor of your sister. Did you suddenly stop wanting what’s best for her?” I stomp over to where he’s standing and he tenses, sucking in a breath. He probably doesn’t like people in his space, but I don’t care. He’s been a parasite in mine without me realizing it. I slap him hard across the face, enjoying the way his face snaps to the side. “You don’t get to talk to me like you personally know me,” I hiss at him. His eyes flare and his icy composur

  • The Northern Alpha King’s Sweet Temptation   Chapter 8

    (Emi’s POV) Along with my name and reputation in shambles in the headlines, I notice a surge of pictures and videos of Alpha King Lucian and Jasmine’s romantic date at ‘Moonlit Craving’. I gaze at my mate in his dark burgundy dress shirt while he looks infatuated by his date’s effortless beauty. The way her waterfall of golden tresses shimmers as she moves and my mate’s pale green eyes sparkle in amusement and awe as he watches her. This video hurt me more than him savagely fucking Lysette’s mouth in his office, because he genuinely adores this beautiful woman. I watch another video of them leaving the restaurant and taking the same vehicle. The headlines gushes about how the perfect couple went back to his place and my heart shatters, because I realize that I’m giving more away to him than I ever should. Does his fiancée know that he gets sucked off by his secretary and probably fucks her too? Does she even know that he found his mate? Does she know about me? Would he even dare
