LOGINZARA“Who are you?” I asked as I whipped around, my hair flipping over my shoulder in the process.“Celeste Veyne.” She stepped closer to me and extended her hand for a handshake. “Nice to finally meet you.”Finally?I just stood there, staring at her outstretched hand. Instead of taking it, I folded my arms across my chest.“And what do you want to discuss with me?”“It’s top secret, and I would like to meet you somewhere else, other than this place. I’ve been looking for an opportunity to be alone with you. I was at the launch, but I couldn’t find one.”“Is this about business?” I lifted a brow.“No. It’s important.” She pulled a card from her pocket and handed it to me. “Please call me. There’s someone who wants to meet you. And please, no one must hear about this.”I took the card, and the moment my eyes met the logo on it, I recognized what this woman might be involved with. The logo was a ring-like symbol with an empty center.“The Hollow Circle,” I murmured.Her eyes widened. “
ZARAMy body was wrapped in a beautiful lilac dress that fell elegantly around my figure, the soft fabric hugging my curves before flowing down to my ankles. Its delicate shade complemented my complexion, while the simple yet sophisticated design made it perfect for the occasion. I had kept my accessories minimal, wearing only a pair of sparkling earrings and a delicate necklace, while my hair was styled in soft waves that cascaded down my back. A touch of lilac eyeshadow and matching lipstick completed my look.Today was the launch of the groundbreaking drug, which had been named Lyvera. It had been a tough journey that took several months, filled with countless hours of research, arguments, failed experiments, and breakthroughs, but we were finally here. Even though I had stopped working full time with them on the research team, seeing our hard work finally come to fruition filled me with pride.Xavier was dressed in a sleek black suit, and as always, he looked incredibly handsome.
XAVIERSeveral people were gathered at the funeral home, and the sight of them made me sick to my stomach. Dickson, Luna Bella, and the pack council. None of these people had cared about her when she was alive.It was painful to know that after her death, I was the only one who genuinely had love in my heart for her, as Adrian and Zara barely knew her, and I would carry that love with me for as long as I lived. We had been separated for several years, and our bond wasn’t as strong as it could have been, but it wasn’t her fault. She had been forced into the situation too.And I would never forgive Dickson for the damage he caused.Perhaps if she had remained here, we would have discovered her illness earlier and started treatment before it became worse. If he hadn’t thrown her out, she might still be alive.I flicked my gaze toward him, and a murderous instinct filled my veins. Zara’s hand gently touched mine, squeezing it, and that brought me a sense of relief. But it didn’t completel
XAVIER“The snippets for the launch are out, and once the launch is concluded, I want all hands on deck with aggressive marketing,” I told the marketing team.Twelve staff members sat around the table, listening attentively to what I was saying.One of them raised his hand to speak, and I nodded, giving him the go-ahead.“Alpha, the research team mentioned that....”He trailed off when my phone started vibrating violently on the desk. It was almost as though it was announcing an emergency.“Give me a minute,” I told them as I picked it up and answered the call. It was from the hospital.“Alpha...” A nurse’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. “I am so sorry. I am really sorry.”“What? What happened?” My heart beat dangerously against my chest, different possibilities pouring into my mind, but I refused to believe any of them until I heard it directly.“She’s dead. She died in her sleep. We only realized five minutes ago when a nurse went in to give her treatment.”The phone
ZARAInside the boardroom, the AC temperature was set very low because I could feel goosebumps rising on my skin from the cold. But I ignored whatever discomfort that caused as I walked into the room. There were eleven board members there. Four women and seven men. Ryan sat in between all of them. All eyes were on me, and I could already see the panic in Ryan’s eyes. Luckily, the seat at the head of the table was empty, so I assumed my position there.“Good morning, Alpha,” they chorused one by one as they leapt to their feet to acknowledge me. Everyone did except, well, Ryan.“Please, sit,” I told them, and they slowly settled down.Leaning back, I let my gaze travel between all of them. “Please tell me what meeting we are having here. As the sole heir to this company, I have come here to restore order and keep the company moving forward, as the last leader almost sent it to its ruins.”“However badly Beta Derick might have behaved, he was a competent leader, and he did the company g
ZARAXavier spanked me over and over again, and there was no denying how pleasurable it was.He paused, his sultry voice rumbling in my ears as he asked, “Will you do that again? Will you be that reckless again?”“If it means catching the culprit, I would gladly take the bull by the horns again,” I murmured.That earned me another spank on my butt, and I literally rolled my eyes in pleasure. He bundled up my dress afterward, thrusting his finger into my already wet pussy.“Fuck, you are so fucking wet and tight,” he rasped as he moved his finger back and forth. My moans filled the room, and I struggled to remain bent over his legs. I tried to stand up, but he pinned me down.“Do not move!” His tone held both lust and warning, and I was forced to obey.I stayed there, receiving the pleasure that rippled through me without daring to disobey until my legs trembled and I climaxed.Then he brought his fingers to his mouth and sucked my juices off them. “So sweet.”Leaning in, he kissed my
ZARAMy fingers tightened around the steering wheel until my knuckles ached. I sat frozen inside my car, my heart was beating erratically against my chest. Across the street, in the doorway of a strange apartment, stood my fiancé’s secretary, Bianca, wearing nothing but a red lingerie.And behind h
ZARAI blinked, my heart thundering against my chest.My entire body was consumed by the desperate need to be fucked by him. But he was Ryan’s uncle, and crossing that line would be taboo."Your lips... they're like ripe cherries. I've always longed to kiss them," he murmured as he ran his thumb ac
ZARAMy fingers trembled nervously as I found a place to sit at the end of the table. Ryan had mentioned that Uncle Xavier owned a pharmaceutical company, but he never told me which one. My ultimate goal was to stay as far away from him as possible, but the universe seemed to have a twisted sense o
ZARAA hard frown immediately masked the stranger's face before his lips curved into a smile."You want me to fuck you," he repeated in a thick, sultry voice that went straight to my core. His burning gaze on me made my skin heat up."Yes," I murmured, breathing heavily.I was so done being the inn
