The Secretary's Unexpected Mate ย ย ย Chapter 019
Brian's POVAs I sat quietly in my office, I kept on recalling how Alicia looked when I found her sleeping in her office this morning. Her eyes were sulken, not to talk about how unkempt her hair was. Could it be that she didn't go back home last night? Did I push her into overworking herself?I shook my head, trying to get the thoughts out of my mind. I shouldn't care. She brought this upon herself. She had the chance to leave, but she chose to stay back.I turned to the documents on my desk. I tried focusing, but it was difficult to do so. Closing the files in frustration, I stood to my feet. I began pacing the office until a knock came at my door. I thought it was Alicia, so I acted all stern and tough.โCome in,โ I demanded, expecting her calm demeanor before me. I was instantly disappointed when the door opened to my Beta, Nathan, who bowed his head to me.โWhat do you want?โ I asked in a grumpy tone, seeing that he wasn't the one I was expecting in my office.He paused for a sec

Alicia's POV. It was finally here; the one day of the year that always filled me with so much excitement and anticipation: our third wedding anniversary with my beloved husband, Alpha Andrew Wright. I had spent weeks preparing for this moment, wanting to look perfect for him with the little I had. My heart raced with a mix of eagerness and anxiety. I hoped that tonight, he would see me as more captivating than ever and be unable to look away from me. I hoped he wouldn't give me the cold shoulders as always. As I sat before the mirror in the Silver Fang Pack beauty salon, my hand holding a magazine that I barely glanced at, I forced myself to maintain a bright, hopeful smile. The salon's meticulous attention to my fur and skin had left me glowing, but the excitement was tinged with a sharp edge of longing. My thoughts were entirely consumed with Andrew, imagining the moment we would finally be together. Each brush of the beauticianโs hand felt like a promise of the nigh

Alicia's POV. My hand shook uncontrollably, and I found myself blinking repeatedly, struggling to believe what I was seeing. The picture on my phone felt like a cruel joke, but the pain was all too real. I was lost in the agony of the photo when the door to the room suddenly swung open, and Andrew walked in. A heavy ache settled in my heart, and a storm of emotions brewed on my face. Without a word, I marched up to him, my steps fueled by a mix of anger and hurt. โWhy is another woman touching you, Andrew? Are you really cheating on me now?โ I demanded, my voice thick with bitterness. I fought to keep my tears at bay, but the pain was almost too much to bear. I tried my best to let myself not be upset by his cold attitude but I never expected his betrayal in our marriage. The betrayal is so much more painful than his previous actions in the past years. He had never held me with such tenderness or looked at me with the affection I had always yearned for. Yet, here he wa

Alicia's POV**Two Days Later**โGet dressed quickly; we wouldnโt want to be late for the charity gala! And donโt forget the necklace!โ Andrewโs deep, cold voice commanded abruptly the moment he was done preparing.In his black suit, he dashed out of the room without looking at me. I tried my best to be quick, but just as I reached for the necklace, the loud ringing of my phone caught my attention.Picking it up, I placed it to my ear. โHello, who isโฆโ I began, but a tense voice echoed from the other side of the line.โLuna Alicia, you have to hurry! Your mother has just been hospitalised. You need to get here right away!โโWhat?โ I gasped, my eyes widening in shock. โMy mother?โ I repeated, desperate to make sense of the news.โHurry!โ The call ended abruptly, leaving me with a rush of panic and uncertainty.It was the day of the charity gala, an event I was supposed to attend with Andrew. But now, my mother was in the hospital, and I was torn. What was I supposed to do?Before I cou

Alicia's POVโYour motherโs condition has stabilised now, Luna Alicia,โ the doctorโs words pierced through my deep thoughts, making me turn to him immediately.โMy mother? Can I see her now?โ I asked, panic evident in my expression.โOf course, Luna!โ He bowed his head and I didnโt hesitate to walk past him and head into the room where my mother was placed.Pushing the door open, I expected to find her awake and willing to welcome me, but I was halted in my tracks when I saw her lying unconscious on the bed.โWhy isnโt she awake yet?โ I asked, gazing back at Doctor Albert.โWe gave her emergency treatment. Iโm sure sheโll wake soon enough. She just needs rest,โ he responded, bowing his head again before turning on his heels and leaving.I walked over to her bedside. Seeing her like this broke my heart. I reached for her hand and sat beside her, wishing she would open her eyes and call me by name.As I held my motherโs hand, tears began to pool in my eyes. The image of Andrew and Veron

Alicia's POV.โAndrew will always love one person, Alicia, and we both know that it'll always be me! After all you saw the photosโฆ he had me in his arms all night!โVeronica's taunts hurt me deeply. All I could do was lie in bed, tossing and turning, replaying her cruel words in my mind. Her words made me both angry and heartbroken.For years, Andrew had never touched me or shown me any real affection. Yet now, he was lying on the same bed as Veronica, his stepsister.Did you really need to go this far to show how much you hate me? Did you really need to go this far to make me feel like I disgust you, Andrew? I bit my lip hard, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall down my ashen cheeks.The sadness I felt, knowing that Andrew had always cherished and wanted Veronica more than me, made it almost impossible for me to sleep after a long, exhausting day at the hospital.As dawn approached, I was still wide awake, with dark circles forming under my eyes.

Alicia's POV.We were so close. Man's muscle body strength easily stopped my falling.I didn't expect Andrew to hold my balance. He helped me find my foot on the ground and then again he quickly kept his distance from me.His hand that helped me was clenched into a fist and put behind his back.โAre you okay?โ I felt his words soften for a moment.โYes, I am fine. Just lack of sleep.โโYou should stay at home to find your peace.โHe rarely shows his care to me. I caught this opportunity.โPlease Andrew, I need the answer. In our whole three years marriage and our yeasโ acquaintance, please donโt be so cruel to me.โ I am nearly begging for his reply.โAlicia, not every question has an answer, for me or for you.โWhat did he mean?โI donโt understand you, Andrew.โI saw him go back to his desk and seemingly thought of something. His face turned cold again.โJust leave my office.โโNo. I am not leaving. Andrew, I changed my questions to a simple easy and short one.โI bet the first half d

I refused to accept the truth, the horrible truth.The doctor and the nurses left me and the door to the emergency unit creaked open.My heart dropped as I turned toward the door, only to be met with the harrowing sight of my motherโs body being wheeled out on a stretcher.She was covered from head to toe with a stark white sheet, a cruel act indicating her death.My eyes widened in deep pain, the tears momentarily freezing in my eyes as the gravity of the scene hit me with a jarring force.Slowly, I forced myself to stand, my legs shaking uncontrollably beneath me, each step toward the stretcher feeling like an eternity.The stretcher halted in front of me.

Alicia's POVThe sudden burst and loud bellow that resonated through the walls of my office immediately jolted me out of dreamland, making me snap my eyes open.โTell me, Alicia, what should I do if a secretary doesn't have her phone on and is on duty?โI knew I had a problem now. I had slept all night in the office after being locked up with worries in my heart. Then I couldn't control my body, being in a trance this morning at work, and I didn't have any bars on my phone.โThis is my mistake. I will volunteer to work three hours of overtime this week.โ I mentioned this punishment method first so that Brian would not punish me in another way that I could not accept.โDonโt try to play your tricks in front of me.โ My heart was hanging in the air. His cold, deep eyes scanned every inch of my face. I swallowed hard.He was more sensitive than I thought he should be. Brian had Alphaโs bloodโa hearsay I received in the tea room. I had married an Alpha before, and I knew how much an Alpha

Alicia's POV. โNoโฆ no, I'll do everything possible not to mess things up,โ I assured, shaking my head slightly as I tried to keep my composure. โI hope you do better than you have said. Now, Leave my office,โ he commanded. At this point, I would have stayed and continued apologising, but it was clear he was still angry about the tampered document. I turned on my heels and dashed out of his office, closing the door behind me. The second I got out, I immediately notice the eyes of others on me. They began to whisper, as always. They must have been scared of what Mr. Brian would have done to me. Well, I don't blame them because I was scared too. With my head lowered, I made my way to my office. Once inside, I walked over to the chair and sat down behind my desk. I ran my fingers through my hair. Frustration seeping in, I bit my lower lip. I had to try my best to keep this secretary job but Brian was clearly not a kind person to deal with. His words about sending me out of the compa

Alicia's POV. โMommy, do you really have to go to work? Why don't you just stay with me all day... please!โ Elisa begged as she held my dress, her eyes filled with genuine concern and pleading. Elisa felt uneasy when we came to the new city. I truly didnโt want her to suffer from my divorce from Andrew. But it was the reality we had to fight together. I had bills to pay, and I had her expenses to take care of. She wouldn't understand it all, even if I tried to explain it to her. I wanted to prove to myself that even if I raised her alone, I could give my daughter a better life. It was a single mom's insist. I crouched down to her level, smiling at her, my hand reaching out to gently caress her hair as I stared into her eyes. โI promise to be back home early today,โ I assured her, but she shook her head. โI don't want you to go at all. I want you to stay home and play with me, just like you used to,โ she begged, her words making me recall when we were still in Silver Fang Pack Ci

Alicia's POV. Locking up the doors, I headed out of the company. I was just the only one left in the company as everyone else had left. We had ended work for the day and it was time to get some rest. I had more work to do because of Mr. Brian that was why I had to finish this late. Grabbing my keys out of my bag, I walked over to my car , opened it, climbed into it and turned on the engines of the car. โLet's get going.โ I mumbled as I stepped on the accelerator that propelled Mr back towards the house. Elisa wasn't at home alone, she was too young for that. I had hired or employed a nanny that would take care of her while I wasn't at home and around her. Although I trusted my new nanny for Elisa, and she looked innocent too, I still didn't hesitate to install surveillance cameras at every corner of the house just to be sure that Elisa was really safe. Her safety was my priority. And at this point, waiting for a second later to know how she was really doing wasn't what I w

I wouldn't want her to sense or see anything weird in me. My wolf had remained dormant and chained so sensing it stir at this moment when Im faced with her wad intriguing and had me got aloy of questions to ask. โStay calm, Cain!โ I said to my inner wolf, trying to make him stay calm. It was becoming too much to handle. โYou have been dormant all these years, don't mess things up here!โ I warned and immediately, it stopped and remained quiet. My heart stopped Racing and my body returned to its normal temperature but I still couldn't stop being interested in the fact that seeing her made my wolf stir. It had never happened before, no lady had ever made it happen before. โI am Alicia, your new Secretary.โ Her words replayed in my head as I stared at her. I could notice how tensed and anxious she was but that wasn't going to

Alicia's POV. Standing before Mr. Brian, my heart raced rapidly with fear and uncertainty. My wolf, which had stirred, now remained calm, seeing that our mate was before us. Heโs my second-chance mate? Why? This wasnโt what I was expecting. To become the president of Sierra Cure Pharmaceutical mate? It definitely wasnโt what I had planned for myself. My fingers clenched tightly as I stared at him. I didnโt want anything to do with anyone of higher status anymore. I was still new in Free City, and drawing attention wasnโt what I wanted or planned for. There was no doubt that Iโd get myself into a deep mess if I accepted the fact that he was my second-chance mate and moved forward with him. According to the rumors, he was a thorn in everyoneโs side and was also said to be responsible for his parents' deaths. Hanging out with someone like that isnโt just right. Besides, I had my daughter, Elisa, to keep safe. โGreetings, Mr. Brian. Is there anything I can get for you?โ I asked soft

I stormed into the house, my face and every move were buried in a shadow.I needed to get to my room and take a shower immediately.The second I got into the room, my expressionless face cracked and started to rip my clothes.โThat son of a bitch! How dare he try to tell me what to do?โ I bellowed furiously, my hand reaching for my tie and ripping it off my neck before tossing it to the end of the bed.I then took off my shirt and pants and threw them directly into the trash can. Thoughts of what had just happened a few hours ago flashed back in my mind.I had gone on a business trip to meet with a client, Mr. Thompson, CEO of the Thompson's Group. It was expected to be just business, but guess what?Mr. Thompson had the guts to bring in a woman and ask me to have sex with her. This irritated me to the core. Mr. Thompson had a penchant for sex-playing with women.He loved them so much that most people say he couldnโt go a day without rest

Alicia's POV.With a timid smile curling up across my lips, I walked into Sierra Cure Pharmaceutical. It was my first day at work, and I barely knew anyone, but at least I was willing to make new friends.The moment I stepped into the company, I couldn't help but notice the fancy and expensive interior design. It made me feel a sense of warmth and joy.I headed for the elevator, and as soon as I got into it, I pressed the button for the floor I was going to.It felt nice knowing that I had been accepted into Sierra Cure Pharmaceutical. After what felt like forever, the elevator doors opened with a light chime.With my grip tightening around the strap of my bag, I walked into the bustling area. I had expected a warm welcome, but instead, I was met with intense stares that left me reeling back.Most of the staff seated began to whisper and mumble among themselves at my sight. Others had sympathetic stares fixed on me, making it difficult for me to keep my balance.Wondering why they wer
