Chadwick The yellow police tape cordoned off the crime scene, the exact area where my car had been parked. The flashing red and blue lights of two police cars outside my house added to the chaotic scene. I was aware that the officers were simply doing their jobs, but I was uncomfortable with the attention this was drawing from my neighbors, who were now whispering and exchanging worried glances. Broken glass sparkled on the ground from my shattered window, my eyes landed on two forensic experts in white suits carefully examining the surroundings for any traces of evidence. I knew my mom was on her way, and the last thing I wanted was for her to find out about what had happened to me last night. She would freak out and It would only worsen her already fragile health. And my young son was upstairs, too innocent to be burdened with the knowledge that his father had almost been killed, or to witness the gruesome blood. Two officers led me to a secluded corner for questioning. The ev

I searched for Ken because I expected him to be around, but he was nowhere to be found. His level-headedness made me rate him above Chadwick.He was the logical one and although he wasn't romantically interested in me, he cared so much about my interest that despite his absence from the party, he had figured that Dave was the fool who had attacked me.Ken even called to apologize, something Chadwick would never do in a million years. I repeatedly had thoughts on how different things would be if the moon goddess had given me Ken as my mate. It would have been a dream come true, considering how perfect he was in looks and attitude. I struggled to find any flaws in him, unlike Chadwick, who had a surplus of them.Chadwick was better looking to me because of our bond, but his assholishness made it difficult for me to look past his looks. "Our mate is the best," my wolf grumbled within me. "He's even a philanthropist. Can you match his actions today?""Oh shut up, Bea," I said loudly,

AshantiThe second I scented Chadwick's strong aura behind me, every nerve ending of my body began to tingle in excitement and raw desire as it always did whenever he was close by. Before he walked in I was organizing some files on my desk, sorting them by date and category and putting them in folders but as I was reaching for the last file, I accidentally knocked over a stack of folders and binders. They fell off my desk and scattered on the floor.Cursing under my breath, I got off my chair and bent down to pick them up and that was when I realized that Chadwick was nearby.He stood outside my door, not moving or saying anything, but his eyes expressed everything I needed to know and the fire of desire licked up inside of me like a hungry snake.“Can I help you sir?” I managed to speak, pretending to sort out some files. Full of heat and pure sex, his eyes gave my body a bold, sweeping gaze and desire flared in them. My inner wolf responded without thinking. Without giving him an

ChadwickMy week was a flop. Being the CEO of this huge company was beginning to take a toll on my mental health. I discovered that my manager, the supposedly capable Matthew, was just an oaf, incapable of doing anything and not contributing anything to the company's success.Ken brought up Matthew's failure to meet project deadlines casually, but I didn't pay attention to it until I realized that the guy lacked initiative, failed to communicate properly with the team, and showed little interest in the company's growth.I marched to his office to give him a piece of my mind."Matthew, I'm very disappointed in you. You've been working in this company for three years, and yet there has been no noticeable improvement in your work. You're consistently late, you miss deadlines, you make lots of arrows, and you expect others to do your work for you. How do you explain such gross misconduct?"He looked like someone who had just been slapped in the face. "I'm sorry, sir, but the thing is I've

AshantiSharon glared at me with disgust written all over her face. I was sick and tired of her stupid entitlement and harassment. "You need to back off and leave me alone," I warned her. "If you ever try to harass me or lay a finger on me in the office premises, I'll report you to Chadwick, and if you do it outside, you may not like the result."She burst into mocking laughter. "Oh, I'm so scared. Look at me trembling. If Chadwick didn't hire you, what business would I have with a slut like you?”My blood boiled. Tim Walker was a billionaire, but was nothing close to my dad's wealth.Sometimes I wanted to gloat about who I really was, but I had lost that right because I was hiding from my dad and there’d no evidence of my claims now that I've cut ties with him.Sharon's brother, Henry, walked into my office and noticed the dirty look Sharon was throwing at me."Sharon, what are you doing here? And why are you bothering Ashanti?" Sharon turned around, glaring at her brother. "What
