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
Brielle’s POV After about four hours of having to deal with a lot of Lucas's judgement and downing comments, we all started to agree that behind all of that rude exterior, he was really good at what he did. I had graduated top in the design diploma that I had gone to but he seemed to have gone to some big-name school. I was yet to get a hang of all those schools and qualifications that were used in the human world but that was fine, the important thing was to make sure our team had results to hand over in very little time from now. “Whew! I always wondered why we had to take that accounting minor in my third year and now I get it,” Richard said as he slumped on my couch exhausted. As soon as we finished getting the estimates, everyone was dead tired, of course, that was besides the man that sat across me with his leg raised up. At some point in the four hours, Lucas had even dozed off without any care about the struggle we were going to. “Four hours is a lot, I think we should
Brielle’s POV After spending about two hours bonding with Zora, I was impressed by how much we had in common. Beneath all of that dyed hair and bubbly exterior, we were both people that enjoyed to do things on our own. She was also relatively new here which made me have some relevance to her. “Do you stay alone? I wish we met sooner really, because I stay alone and it’s so boring once I’m behind those four walls,” she said and then slurped down some more of her milk shake as her eyes eyed me with intensity. “No, I don’t. I have just one friend and we stay together, her name is Anya. Maybe you guys can meet some other time,” I told her and tried to see if I had anyone that was looking for a roommate in my head. But my circle was only so small, I eventually just gave up. “You would eventually find someone, I felt the same way when I moved here, I thought I would never fit in and find my way but here we are,” “Okay, that’s true, I’ll give it some time,” she agreed and then mo
Huxley’s POV “Huxley, are you sure you don’t want to come by? There would be girls from all races there,” Liam said as he sent me an exaggerated wink. “Is there something special about them?” I asked with cocked brows, allowing him to take away my attention from the document I was still working on. “Of course, banging a vampire is different from a witch and different from a human girl,” Liam said shamelessly. “You have had that much variety?” I had only been with one woman, Katie. We both had an arrangement that would help us keep our bodies and wolves satisfied without us developing feelings. Yet, she had gone ahead and done just that. I had ended things as soon as I discovered them. My heart belonged to only one person. The one person I wanted to hate as much as I wanted to love and even right now, the only reason why I was deciding to finish up work instead of going for a run before continuing at home was because of her scent that wafted into my office. That was a year a
Brielle’s POV I had barely gotten any sleep with the news that papa was sick but even with that, I got up quite early and dressed in one of the new outfits I had gotten with Anya. “Hey, you barely slept so I made you some pancakes and coffee,” she said as soon as I walked out of the room. “I heard you rolling all over and then standing up from the bed so many times,” she added before I could ask how she knew. It was hard to believe that Anya was human sometimes. She seemed so ‘unhuman’ if that was a word. “Thank you, I’ll be making a trip down to my hometown today, I need to see my papa and see if I could get any chances of saving him.” I told her as I coated one of the pancakes with syrup. “I know someone that might be able to treat him, she’s not a doctor, but she’s my aunt and she’s got some powers that she claims helps her to heal people,” Anya said with a soft smile. There was something in her gaze that I couldn’t understand. But if Ava was correct and dad was sufferin
BRIELLE's POV “Anya,” I called out as I entered the house, although I expected her to be at home, I could sense that there was someone inside the house. Moreover, the door had been left unlocked. “Anya?” I called out again, this time, my voice gave out my fear as it shook a little. Sometimes, we get used to things always going the wrong way and now my soul was mared deeply with fear. “Relax, it’s just me,” Giveon’s familiar voice rang out as he stepped out from my room. “What are you doing here?” I asked harshly, unable to feel any relief from knowing nothing was wrong. “That’s not a way to greet someone that’s here to help you,” Giveon said with dissatisfaction that had my brain swirling. “Help me? Why? With what?” Without processing anything, I asked as the the thoughts came to my head. “Helping you get back home, your papa is sick and needs help, so let’s go help him together,” Giveon said and then placed a traveling back that I wasn’t familiar with on the table. “I’m
