***Drake's POV***Seeing her smile with tears trickling down her face only made me feel terribly guilty. I could clearly see the pain in her eyes. “Do I look like I'm okay to you?”She asked while looking at the three of us with a tear-filled gaze. “You know what, I don't ever want to see your faces in front of me ever again!”With that, she stormed out of the room, leaving us in a total speechless state.”“Brother, what do you think we should do now? She clearly hates us, and I don't think she'll give us another chance to explain things.”“At this point, I think we have to do it differently and not as a team.”“What do you mean, brother?” Ethan asked. “I think the only reason why she doesn't want to listen to us is because she detests all three of us telling her the same thing. I think we'll make progress if each of us approach her differently without dragging anyone into this.”“If that's the case, then I can as well kiss my mate goodbye.”“What do you mean?” I asked Ethan who a
***Keira's POV***“What are you going here? I asked, as so bad, I opened the door. I was still trying to pretend not to care, but then his smile immediately melted my heart that instant. The fact that he was actually innocent in all of this made me melt like ice.“No, no, no, Kendra. You can't fall for him like this,” I cautioned my wolf in my thoughts. “But I want you to fall for me.”I gasped in shock the moment he replied to what I said to my wolf. “Keira, you actually do have a wolf. I'm so happy. Now my wolf can relate to Kendra more. She refused us last night, just like you refused me.”I swallowed hard at his statement. I walked away from the door, and he quickly came in and shut the door. “You should place the tray on the table and leave,” I said with my back against him. I can't face him while rejecting him. “Why don't you look at me and tell me you want me to leave, truly?”Why is he trying to tempt me into saying things I don't want to in front of me? “Keira, I know y
*****Keira's POV****I shivered frightfully as the loud growl-like sound of my boss echoed in the room. “How long! Just how long do you plan to be useless in my company? You think I run a charity home with my company?!” He thundered, making my lips quiver with fear. “I… I'm sorry, boss,”“Sorry? I would rather not hear your stupid apology. That is what you've been saying for six months now.”I stared down nervously. I could see the staff in the company all staring at my boss's office since it was a transparent glass.I wish I knew what to do at this very moment. I wish there was something I could say at this moment. “You know what, Keira, I don't think you are fit to work in my company anymore. I want you gone! Never show your face in front of me again!”At the mention of that, I quickly fell on my knees, shakily, with tears in my eyes. “Please, Boss Jake, do not lay me off, I beg you,” I pleaded while staring up at him.Boss Jake took his gaze down at me, I could see anger writte
*****Drake's POV****I roamed my eyes across the bar and back. Okay, now I must say I hate being here without these imps. I shouldn't have agreed to meet at the bar in the first place.“Hello, Drake, may I join you?” A lady with brown-coloured hair and hazel eyes appeared in front of me. She had the darkest shade of red lipstick on her lips, which almost made me nauseous. I still don't know why I don't see such women as attractive. Though she had a nice body, well curved hips and perfectly shaped legs, I still don't find her attractive.I poured myself another glass of wine while looking around the bar, hoping to find my brothers.“Alpha Drake, don't be like this. When will you stop avoiding me? Huh?”“Don't call me Alpha.”“Oops, I'm sorry. I almost forgot you don't like being referred to as Alpha outside the pack."I didn't bother giving her a reply. All women want a piece of me, there's no doubt.Just as she was about to say another word, I smelled them around. Thanks to the godde
**Keira's POV***“Come on, Keira, don't be a bore. You are not a nerd, you know.”“No way, I'm not feeling it,” I replied. “Come on, how do you expect to get lucky if you don't relieve your stress? Do you think straight?” I rolled my eyes. “Not interested in that. Besides, there's nothing that's going to help me achieve the task given to me.*Elena paused for a moment before she spoke again.“What if we go out and meet some people who can give us more info on this Drake guy? If you really want to succeed with this mission, then you have to be open to strangers.” I thought about it for a moment and replied, “Alright, let's go then.” She smiled brightly. I knew Elena just wanted an excuse to go clubbing anyway, but what she said made sense. This would be a great opportunity for me to get some stress out of my head. Also, maybe I might be lucky to find out more about Drake, even though I wasn't sure I was going to succeed. Let me give myself the benefit of the doubt. We arrived at t
***"Keira's POV****I woke up with a banging head. I winced in pain as I stood up from the bed.“Ouch!” Why do I feel so sore all over? I opened my eyes gradually, only to find myself in my room and on my bed.Wait a moment, how on earth did I get to my bed? What could have happened to me last night?Just then, I recalled what actually happened to me.I got drunk, but pretended not to be, and then I got myself into the restroom to ease myself and then… I trailed off when I recalled the seductive voice in my head.Suddenly, I burned underneath. Fuck! What's happening to me? What is this feeling all about?There's no way such a thing happened last night. I quickly hopped down from my bed and headed to Elena's in a hurry.“Hey, you're awake!” Elena said, dabbing her hair dry with a towel.“Uhm, Elena, did I…uhm.”“You mean, did you get drunk last night?” My heart skipped at Elena's question.“Did I really get drunk last night?” I asked, just to be sure.“Girl, if I had known you couldn't
****Drake's POV****I have been restless ever since last night and so were my brothers. Everything still seemed strange to me. I know I might find my mate later in life, but I never would have imagined that I would find my mate in that club, and not only that, my mate had turned out to be an ordinary omega. This was odd. What is the moon goddess up to? To worsen it, my brothers were not spared from this mate bond. I can't believe my brothers and I all share the same mate. Just what kind of fate is this? Was this the reason none of us were able to find our mates?“What do you think we should do about this, brother? I mean, we all know she's a reporter,” Damson asked. I took a quick glance at my immediate younger brother. I could see how restless he was. Though Damson was a flirt, he had never been someone who cared so much about a woman. “I don't know, Damson, I'm as confused as you are.”“Do you think she saw the message I sent to her?” Ethan asked, worriedly. I could see the conce
*****Keira's POV**** I heard a loud knock on my door, but I was just too lazy to get to the door. I shut my eyes tightly and heaved a long sigh. I still don't understand what really happened. I wish I could explain to myself what really happened, but everything seemed like a dream.“Keira, are you okay? It's almost 8:am. Aren't you turning in for work today?” I opened my eyes sharply the moment I heard what the time was. I lazily forced myself out of bed and walked over to the door. Furthermore, I slowly opened the door and saw Elena standing in front of the door worriedly.“Holy shit! What happened to you?!”“Huh? What do you mean?” Elena stared at me weirdly.“Did you look in the mirror this morning?”“No, I didn't. What's wrong?”“No wonder! Now I understand why,” Elena whispered, still staring at me like I'd suddenly grown a bear. I quickly took my hands to my chin, but it was as smooth as it used to be.“What's wrong with my face? Why do you look so scared?” I asked. “Beca
