Lahat ng Kabanata ng Soulbond to the Alpha: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Aarya “Wow! It’s exquisite!” I marveled at the stunning neck tattoo that adorned my best friend Lea’s skin. My fingers traced the lines of the intricate design as I asked her, “I want one too, but I’m such a wimp thinking about the pain. Did it hurt?” Nestled at the base of her neck, where the curve of her neck met her shoulder, was a beautifully detailed wolf outline tattoo. Below the tattoo were Steven's initials, symbolizing their connection. It looks amazing. A cheeky smile spread across her face. "At first, it was a touch painful, but after some time, I was cool with it. In fact, I was more than cool." “Hmm, that’s good to know,” I chuckled, wiggling my eyebrows. “So, spill the beans. Why have you been grinning like a Cheshire cat since last night?” Lea’s cheeks flushed as she attempted to hide her face, her smile peeking through. “Um...” I grinned, “Gurl! Come on! Tell me! What is happening to you? I have never seen you as shy and bewildered as I am now.” With a shy smile,

Aarya After my presentation, I reclined in my seat, taking a deep, calming breath. I turned towards Lea and inquired, “How did it go? Did I manage to pull it off?” Lea’s eyes lit up, and she responded with uncontainable enthusiasm, “Pull it off? Girl, you rocked that presentation! Finally, we’re through with our last submission for the semester. Free at last.” She exhaled with a dramatic sigh. Relief washed over me, and I responded, “Thanks, Lea. And now, onto the interview.” “It's tomorrow, right?” She asked, stuffing her face with French fries. This girl can eat. And the sad part is, she doesn’t even get fat after eating so much! So unfair. “Tomorrow. I’m feeling both nervous and excited. Is that even possible?” I admitted. Receiving that email from CMH Industries, notifying me of my selection for the internship opportunity, was an ecstatic moment. That email opened doors to exciting opportunities, leading to a phone interview the following day. After the interview, I was cert

AaryaAs I reached my floor, I was greeted by an anxious-looking David pacing near the reception desk.“Hi, David. Is everything OK? Why do you look so... for lack of a better word... constipated?” I raised an eyebrow, concerned about his behavior.“Aarya! You’re here! What happened at the meeting? I heard you’re on some dream team for a project,” he blurted out, wagging his eyebrows and completely ignoring my question. Typical David–always eager to dive into juicy gossip.“Oh yes, I am. But it’s a top-secret mission. Shhh...” I smirked, placing a finger against my lips.“Wow, I heard that,” Jen chimed in as she approached us, wearing a fake pout. “Babe, won’t you please tell me about that?” She looked at David, and their lovey-dovey interaction made me want to roll my eyes. I wasn’t much of a romantic, to be honest.As I walked toward my desk, I chuckled at them. Getting everything ready to move to the 40th floor. Jen and David helped me pack everything into a box, making it easier fo

Aarya As the alarm rings, I groan in my slumber. I move a bit, snuggling closer to my pillow. The alarm continues to blare. Irritated, I yelled, “Lea, turn the fucking alarm off before I throw it out of the window! I want to sleep! My pillow and I are in a comfortable position.” As I bury my head deeper into the pillow, I sigh in satisfaction and murmur, “It smells marvelous. And it’s so soft and firm.” My head sank into the pillow, and I sighed in contentment. This had been the most peaceful sleep in ages. A soft chuckle filled the air, and the pillow beneath me started to shake. “Thanks for the compliment. Your pillow appreciates it. But if you keep moving, it won’t stay soft,” a voice responded. Startled, I looked up, untangling myself from my comfortable cocoon. The words finally registered. My eyes widened in realization, and my face heated up. I had been lying on top of Xander. My arms wrapped around his torso, and my head buried in his chest. Ah, no wonder it smelled so good.

AaryaI heard a soft “come in” and walked over to the gray desk where Alex was sitting with a smile. His office exuded an elegant and modern executive design that matched his personality. As I walked toward him, I tried to quell the nervousness that had driven me to walk into the boss’s office impulsively. I shouldn’t have done this!“Good morning, Sir,” I began, steadying my voice while internal tremors danced beneath the surface. “I apologize for bothering you, but I needed your help.” Alex’s hand waved dismissively, his grin unwavering. “No worries. I was about to pester Xander about your date, anyway. Also, call me Alex. My future sister-in-law can’t be calling me sir.” My eyes bulged out. Did he just call me his sister-in-law? What? It’s too soon for that. Although I don’t mind... No! Not going there! “I thought we preferred sister over sister-in-law.” Sean’s voice drew my attention to the sofa, where he was casually lounging. Had he been there the whole time? How did I miss hi
