All Chapters of The CEO’s Human Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

I smelled her even before she came into the room. When she knocked, I closed my eyes for a short while. Then I opened them when she got into the office. There was a nervous expression on her face, but she managed to smile. At the point where I was, it was not Adrik that was controlling me anymore. I wanted to take Willow into my arms and just take in her scent. I did not have that privilege.“Hi sir… Dimitri,” she corrected herself, I noticed with some satisfaction. I tried not to let it show on my face a little too much. “I’ll be heading off now. I just wanted to know if you needed anything else from me.”Inasmuch as I wanted to invent a task just so I could get her to stay with me, I shook my head. Willow might not know it, but I was on a redeeming streak. I knew that I would have to tell her the truth sooner rather than later. And I wanted her to hate me a little less than she did right now. There was no point pushing her away. After all, Vlad had found his mate.“No, Willow. That

“What the hell do you mean by you’re going to Russia?” Now, this was how I would have expected my best friend to react when I told her my boss wanted me to go to Russia. Or, “Oh my goodness, Russia! Girl, take me along with you, so I can find myself some Eastern European hunk!”That would have been funny and a lot more believable.But all she had said was, “You’re leaving for Russia tomorrow. Okay, I see.”That was it. No questions, no surprise, no strong emotion. I was in my car driving to the mall to get some essentials. It was summer in Russia and I needed some lightweight clothes like the one I was wearing. I had done some research but I still needed to call Dimitri Rustanov. After all, it was his home country.“Why do you sound so…?” I trailed out, unsure about which word to use.“Why do I sound so what?” Kendra asked and I rolled my eyes. I bet she knew exactly what I was talking about and she was just being coy. And I truly did not understand why she was doing that.“So quiet!

When I woke up, it was to Dimitri staring at me with a worried expression on his face. The worry eased a bit when I opened my eyes. He was no longer naked. He had a robe on but I could not forget what he looked like without a stitch of clothing. And suddenly, everything came back to me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes again.Dimitri had turned into a wolf in front of me. Dimitri had fucking transformed into a wolf in my presence. I opened my eyes again and stared at him. “Did I imagine all of that or did you really turn into a wolf in front of me?” I asked, needing some confirmation.“You did not imagine it.”“Damn,” I winced, then I sat up in bed. I frowned when I realized I was actually in bed. “How did I get here?”“You fainted. I carried you,” he explained and I nodded. That explained the piercing headache.“Can I have some painkillers before you explain any more of this to me?” I asked quietly. Almost as if he had been preparing, Dimitri took a glass of water and two pil

It had been two weeks since I had decided to give Dimitri a chance. And I did not regret it. If anyone had told me just how sweet my boss could be, I would have disagreed. The person I was seeing was a completely different person. I could not count the number of times he had brought me flowers. My bedside table was practically overflowing with vases at this point. I even had to tell him to stop.I picked up the second bracelet he had given me and I smiled. I knew Dimitri wanted to give me so much more. But that was not what I wanted for now. And I loved that he was trying his best to respect my choice. My heart was very full, and I realized that what he said was right. If Dimitri had been this gentle with me when we met, we would not have been able to stop ourselves from mating.Today was the day Kendra was coming to Russia. I had not told her anything about werewolves, and I did not even know where to start. But I was going to tell her, because she was my best friend. So, when I hear
