Brielle’s POV I had spent all weekend preparing my mind for my resumption at Peirxly and that included an ice cream date with Anya and getting some new dresses for my wardrobe. Somehow, the way Huxley had looked at me the other day made me want to look better, to prove that I was doing a lot better than when I had been in that hellhole. A deep sigh and a step were all it took to have the wide glass doors of Pierxly open as the sensor picked me approaching. I sent a nod to the receptionist while a part of me wondered what time she resumed work considering that it was only a little past 7 am. From the email I had gotten this weekend, I was to report to the Human Resource department to meet with my team, thankfully, the sender had been kind enough to mention that they were on the third floor of the building. If by some stroke of luck, I could do without seeing Huxley for the next year as Zora had said, then working here was going to be a good experience. “Good morning Miss Levi
Brielle’s POV I had eventually gotten over my embarrassment and gotten some work done and even as I could smell the bastard next door, I did a good job at ignoring me as I completed the designing of my office. With Pierxly’s logistics, what I had assumed would take me about a week or at most two days to get done had barely taken me four hours as the moment I sent out a list to the James, everything I requested for had arrived as soon as I sent it out. As I stood in the middle of my office… my own office, a part of me looked forward to working here, to showing the world that I could really do something for the first time in my life. But then, there was also that nagging voice that reminded me of the devil that was right next door. I didn’t dare to hope too much. A knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts as my team members all stepped in. “Damn!” One of the guys cursed as he looked around my office, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “No wonder they made you the team l
Giveon’s POV Even before her call, I had already felt it, with only one city between us, it was hard to not sense her. Vampire instincts has been known to be the best. I was sure that by the time we eventually became one, every of Brielle’s breath would be mine. My Brielle. “If you don’t come soon, perhaps your girl would be taken away by some shifter that has employed her,” the voice on the other end said and I scoffed. “All you had was one chore, Ann. If Brielle’s out there looking for some job that should give her everything i already did, it’s only on you.” While she had sworn her loyalty to me three years ago, I was starting to doubt it strongly now. After all, I only managed to get glimpses of Brielle when I made late night trips to her bedroom window. Or stopped by the cafe she used to work in. But I was scared to face her. To face this taboo bond between us. While I was filled with desperation on my part, I was also scared of what I would find if I confronted her.
Brielle’s POV My first week at Pierxly had gone unbelievably well. I was finding it hard to believe that other than the first day, I had no other run in with Pierxly. More importantly, I was starting to enjoy my work. From finding a balance in the team to us all actually working well together, I was starting to feel like the moon goddess was out here rooting for me already. The best part about my first week had to be the pay! It wasn’t uncommon to get an ahead payment but I was unbelievably surprised because they already paid some money to Laura. How then did they feel the need to pay me again? “If you are going to stand there and be like some lost puppy, heaven knows we would never get some shopping done,” Anya said as she pulled me through the doorway. Since I got my pay, I felt getting some shopping done was a good idea. Okay that’s a lie, I’m doing a shopping because Lucas said I don’t dress like a designer in Pierxly and as much as I would loved to say it didn’t get to
GIVEON’s POV The moment she walked through that door, it felt like my life became complete in a split second. I hadn’t seen her in two weeks, with how tight things had been, there had been no way I could have spent a night just staring at her. Yet, she had gotten even more beautiful, it was almost like her eyes could have drawn me into her world. It felt like nature was humming her name with my mind as the air outside the room whirled around. But just as soon as she opened her mouth, Brielle, my mate that I had spent the last three years waiting and pining for didn’t know me. I stared deep into her eyes, searching for a sign that this was some act that she was doing, that she was just pretending to know me. But after more than hundred years of being alive, there was no way I could read that confusion wrong. She really didn’t remember me. Anya glanced at me briefly and then turned back to look at Brielle. “You really don’t know him?” “I don’t,” Brielle said and then loo
BRIELLE’s POV Certainly, this man in front of me was senile. I mean, how the hell do you walk up to a girl, okay scratch that. How do you walk into a house, sit down like you own the place, threaten me with the secret I had managed to keep for three years here and then just when it didn’t seem like it could get any weirder, You call me your mate. I could bet six months of my rich and fat pay that this was some delusional man. With the looks of some freaking god though. “Are you out of your mind?” I finally managed to ask. Fine he was attractive, but mates wasn’t something to play with. Besides, the moon goddess already gave me a mate and even though he rejected me already, it was impossible that she would give me another. It was common knowledge that it didn’t happen like that. It was a one time pass thing. In fact, in recent times, a lot of people never met their fated mates and had to just end up with someone they picked like the normal relationship dynamics with human
Brielle’s POV I had expected that I would run into the vampire again. But I was certainly not expecting that the next day, as soon as I was done taking a walk to calm Roxy down with the night air, he was here again. This time, he and Anya seemed to be having some sort of conversation as soon as I entered. “You are here. Your friend from the other day came by,” Anya said, sending me a wink. I wondered if she thought there was something going on between the both of us. Although that didn’t matter, the important thing was the bastard here. Considering that I didn’t have the slightest clue of what his name was, I didn’t think he had the right to keep barging in on me. “I don’t remember inviting you,” I said as I shot him a snide glare and considering that Anya was sprawled on the other couch, I had no choice than to sit beside him. “You gave me your address, that, my princess, is the same thing as inviting me,” He said lazily and then without any warning, hung his arm over my sho
Brielle’s POV I guess I could say I had used up my bit if luck for the month by making Giveon leave because when I turned up to work on Monday, there was a board meeting that I had no idea about! “I wasn’t informed about this,” I murmured under my breath as the board room that was just across my office started to feel up gradually. “I’m guessing Miss Levine has failed to read up on all the documents sent to her by the Administrative department. This meeting is a standard one that happens every week,” Huxley said as he entered the room and heavens knows, I was forcing every bone in me to not roll my eyes at him. Despite me just murmuring, he had heard with his shifter abilities but the most he could have done was just keep quiet. From dealing with some cocky vampire during the weekend to coming to meet some cocky Alpha here on Monday morning, my patience was starting to wane out. The meeting started soon and thankfully, it didn’t start from me. After three department head stood
