Chapter 11Clarissa POVI made sure I look great today since I'll be going out with my boss later. Although I have no idea where he'll be taking me yet, but I made sure I dressed exclusively today so I can stand out later."Is your boss going to introduce you to his family? What's with that dress?" Charity had asked me before I left for the office in the morning, but I only rolled my eyes at her.I have been in the office for quite some minutes now, but he's not yet here. Feeling insecure about my dress, I decided to go check myself out in the restroom, maybe if there's anything I should fix in my body before he comes to the office.Returning to my office a few minutes later, I find him already sitting behind his desk in his company, and I sigh disappointedly. I wanted him to see how beautiful I look in the dress, and maybe getting a compliment or two from him would assure me that I didn't waste my time.I sigh briefly as I slump on my chair and resume work reluctantly. Barely five mi

Chapter 12Clarissa POVWe finally arrive at the restaurant after a few minutes of driving, and the waiter served me the food I ordered immediately. It's not nice to rush food, but I don't have a choice at this point, since I'm so famished."You haven't told me about yourself yet," I break the awkward silence as we stroll down the street of the restaurant later, getting fresh air. It's past 8pm already, and everywhere is dark, except for the street light that is still keeping the street alive. We left the restaurant a few minutes ago after I finished having my meal, and strangely, he didn't join me to eat, which had me questioning myself if he eats often. I've only seen him eating once, and I forced him to. Even during lunchtime, he never goes out to have lunch."I don't think there's much to know about me," He shrugs, and I glance at him."Just tell me the little you feel I should know," I reply to him, and he shrugs."Maybe about your family. Do you have a patent, siblings, and if y

Chapter 13Clarissa POV"Why are you so excited? Did your crush ask you out?" Charity asks as we have dinner later. I got home a few minutes ago, and I've been overly happy since then. I didn't expect my boss would ever ask me out, and even if he was going to, I didn't expect it to be so soon, but it came sooner than I expected it, and I can't help being excited about it."Uhm... This is weird... Can you give me some time to think about it, please?" That was my reply to him, even though I wanted to tell him yes immediately. I didn't want to look like I'd been waiting for him to ask me out.'Can you give me a reply soon? I don't want to keep waiting' that was what he said to me before I finally left his car when he dropped me off earlier, and his voice rings in my head like he's here with me."I just asked you a question, Clarissa?" Charity hits a spoon on my forehead, bringing me back to reality."Hey! You didn't have to do that, right?" I wince pretentiously as I touch my forehead, b

Chapter 14Alpha Miguel POVIt was difficult for me to suddenly start dating just like humans since it's not in our tradition, but I have to take things slow and act like a human, maybe I will be able to win her heart, and she won't have any option than to accept me later. Since she said yes to me via text yesterday, I guess we can now be called boyfriend and girlfriend.I left home this morning and headed to her house after I was done with my usual morning routine. I spent all night, surfing the internet and trying to get some information about how I can treat my girlfriend, and it's pretty weird the things that the internet taught me. It's weird, going to her house to pick her up for work, but I know that I really have to do this if I want to win her heart.Her place doesn't look so great and well furnished, but that is not my problem, anyway."Wow! You are here, Mr. Miguel?" The way her friend smiled at me when I came here moment ago, is creepy. I think she must've told the young l

Chapter 15Clarissa POVWe had a long day at work, and it was really weird to think that I'm now dating my boss. It was also something to be excited about, because why not? I guess he's just not good at conversation, and maybe he was just shy.It was finally closing time, and I round up for the day, waiting for him in my office to join me so we can head to the movies since I already got two tickets for us.The door finally opened after about ten minutes of waiting and he walks into my office while maintaining a blank expression as always. Does he never smile?"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Should we go now?" He asks me, looking everywhere else except my face, and I hum as I nod my head."Sure," And with that, we finally head out of my office with him leading the way.The employees keep throwing glances at us as we walk through the lobby minutes later, but I don't really care about them though, because why the hell should I? I am dating my boss, I am proud of it, and I don't owe a

Chapter 16Alpha Miguel POV"Are you kidding me, Roan? How can you even think of that?" I snap at Roan angrily as I slam my hands on the table in front of him. I have only come here to tell him about the progress with my mate so far, but he told me to bring her here already."This is something you need to do...""Come on, we both know that I can't do this... At least not now. She doesn't even know who I am, and you expect me to just bring her here? That's crazy. She's a human for goodness sake, and that is not how things are done in their world," I try to explain to him, trying not to yell again. I know he has been doing his best to help me, which was why I always deemed it fit to listen to him and heed his instructions, but not this one.It has been difficult for me, having to put up all that in the name of making her fall in love with me, but it is more difficult, lying to her. I wonder how she will feel when she finds out about all this."What are you planning to do since you are i

Chapter 17Alpha Miguel POVAs the time drives near, I can't help but feel nervous. We haven't spoken to each other all day, and I didn't even go to her house to pick her up for work today. I was so nervous and I didn't want to be alone with her, and spending the whole day together in the office makes me feel so nervous.The long time finally arrives, and I become even more nervous. We finally close from work, and I drive us to the place we were supposed to have our dinner date. We didn't spend much time on the road before we got to the restaurant."Do you like the food?" She asks as she watches me eat, and I slowly nod my head. She should be acting this way, and not me, but I can't even help it. The mate bond is making me feel like a fool around her, and I don't even know what to do."So, I was saying something on the phone yesterday. So, why don't we get to know each other? You know you already know my friend, how about I know yours? Oh, I'm sorry, you told me you don't have one..."

Chapter 18Alpha Miguel POVOne month laterThe past one month have been difficult for me and also been one of the best months of my life. I have developed feelings for Clarissa, and she has been a good girlfriend to me. Well, my people kept pestering me to get a woman again, but I don't really know if I'm ready for this. I'm still scared about the curse. What if she goes like others? I can't afford to take another life again, which is what I've been emphasizing since.It's a beautiful Sunday morning, and since I have nowhere to go, I decided to stay at home and get some rest. I have been avoiding the Pack since they won't stop talking about my mate each time I went there.After I had a long relaxing bath in the bathroom and walk back into my room, I find my phone screen light on, with a message displayed on the screen."Did I get a mail from the company?" I mumble as I walk over to the bed and pick up the phone while drying my hair with a towel. I stop when I see that the message is

Chapter 19Clarissa POVI glance at him for the fifth time, and I can't help the scoff that tears through my throat. I couldn't sleep all through the night yesterday, well, all thanks to my boyfriend, or should I say my boss? And to think he was going to run after me and plead with me yesterday but he didn't do it, made me feel less loved. I mean, if he wanted me, he would've run after me and tried to calm me down, yeah?"Annoying jerk!" I mumble and scoff as I glance at him again, and find him working on his desktop. It's crazy how he came to the office this morning and didn't even talk about yesterday like nothing happened. As much as I don't want to keep up with this bullshit anymore, I think I have fallen so deeply in love with him that I can't even imagine myself doing away with him. But wait a minute! Does it change anything? It doesn't even seem to me like we are in a relationship."Just forget it, Clarissa. Focus on work, and everything will fall in place," I glance at him one

Chapter 20Clarissa POVMy day at the office was well spent, and it's finally time to go home. "Do you mind if I drop you off?" I raise my gaze to find him standing inside my office and staring at me with a questioning expression on his face."No, don't worry. I will just take a cab home," I quickly turn down his offer, and he slowly nods his head as he stares at me for seconds."Alright. See you tomorrow then," He utters before he strides out of the office, not sparing me another glance. I just feel like going home by myself today. It has been a while since I last went home alone, and I think I want to give it a try today.I finally round up for the day and leave the office to go home. Strolling on the road and getting fresh air is so much fun, and I reached the bus stop before I know it.As I wait at the bus stop for the bus to arrive, many thoughts flood my mind, which includes Carl. I can't deny that I missed him so much over the years, but Miguel is slowly replacing him and taki
