Maya When I returned to my office, I noticed that Kim was acting different. She was quite civil and refrained from making impertinent comments that used to annoy me. She even apologized to me for what she did. I didn't know what was going on with her but I hoped it would continue. She was much more bearable with her mouth closed. I found it odd that she worked really hard during those days and was willing to help out. Zane and I had barely talked since the time we accidentally kissed which was a relief for me because I couldn’t tell how the conversation would go. The staff at the company got busier towards the end of the month so there was that too. There were reports to write, projects to evaluate, meetings and so much data to analyze leaving very little time for chitchat among us all. Somehow we all survived and the last week rolled by. Something took me to the main notice board on the last Friday of the month. I was shocked to see that Kim had won the Employee of the Month awar

Kim The cheque was cashed, the money was in my hand bag and I felt ecstatic. Aside from the occasional allowances, this was my first real pay from Milner Insurance. If I felt this happy now, how would it be when I got my salary? Being an adult wasn’t so hard after all. Took me only about ten minutes to get this precious award and the money that came with it. It was so easy to win and I didn't have to work as hard as everyone might think. I mean everyone except Maya and Harry. You couldn’t fool those two and it was like their minds worked in the same way. If they got married they'd probably have equally perfect kids. It was unfortunate that she had rejected Harry, but we were not yet about to give up. Zane had left office with her just like he had done with me. She probably thought there was a chance. He had started avoiding me, and I knew that she was going to experience that soon. Zane was a jerk, and I loved jerks. Chasing them was exhilarating and fun. I hated being with men who

Zane’s POVAnother body. For the past week, I had been getting reports of bodies of members of my pack. I had no choice but to leave the company, return to Misenium and take charge of my duties as an alpha. I had been there for two days and hadn’t yet figured out the perpetrator but I knew it wouldn’t take long before I found out and made them pay for the terrible things they’d done. This one was of a young woman. She lay on the grass, her hair matted on the dry blood covering the grass. Her head seemed to have been hit by a blunt object as the back of it was a mess. It was a pitiful sight, seeing a young soul gone, leaving behind all the dreams and possibilities they had.“I don’t get it,” I said. “I don’t smell vampire around any of the crime scenes. Whoever is killing this people is a wolf.”At first, I had thought it was Aaron, the vampire trying to get revenge on me for locking him up but the second body I had seen made it clear that it was a wolf. The scent seemed masked by vam

KimMiller's office was very spacious and contained plush seats. It was hard to imagine that it was scorching hot outside with the advanced air conditioning in there. You're probably thinking I wanted that office too but unfortunately or fortunately for you, I was not that greedy, yet. Having Maya Bennett out of the company was so satisfying it felt like I would never need anything else in order to be happy.“I'm so glad you finally did it,” I told Miller who was glaring at me like I had just killed someone he loved. The look on his face told me he was one step away from hitting me to death. We both knew I can never be as competent as Maya Bennett and while I didn't care, I was sure he did. This was going to affect the company and not in a very positive way. Maya had been more committed to her job than I would ever be.“You know I didn't want to fire her,” he said, opening a black file which was on top of the table. “And I may not have been able to even suspend her if you hadn’t manag

Zane.Standing on top of the cliff, I gazed out at the vast forest below. I sighed, feeling the ache in my heart that I could never seem to get rid of. It was always there, reminding me of the missing piece in my life. I thought of Maya, my mate. I missed her more than anything in the world but I knew I couldn’t go to her until I had finished sorting out the issues with my father. I couldn’t underestimate the man because he was capable of destroying me. One wrong move, and I would be done for. Closing my eyes, I let my mind wander. It drifted back to the night I met her. I remembered how captivated I was by the beautiful young woman. I had been so angry to see her with that bloodsucking vampire and she had been so scared when I attacked him. I had not been happy with how everything had gone. I remembered seeing her again when she was talking to the receptionist about me while trying to take sneaky glances at me. I chuckled. If she knew that I heard everything she was saying that day
