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

AshantiThe couch was my favorite spot to rest. Enjoying a comfortable sprawl with a blanket draped over me and legs tucked beneath, I busied myself with watching a crime drama series, captivated by the suspense and munching on my bowl of popcorn. Harrison walked in, snatching a handful of popcorn and consuming it with amusement."Why on earth are you subjecting yourself to such an intense crime series? You know you're too gorgeous to fill your head with such dark stuff.”I let out a soft chuckle. "Oh Harrison, you underestimate me. These shows are like a stroll for me."Then I used a lower tone, "Compared to lycans, these crime stories are a cakewalk-”“I don't even want to imagine,” he said while shutting his ears. “Anyway, there's a sports tournament happening just a few blocks away, and it's for a good cause. Apparently, a philanthropist is supporting orphaned kids. Wanna come?”"Nope, not really feeling like going anywhere.""Oh, come on, Ashanti." He tugged at my blanket, freei

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,

ChadwickMy alarm rang at 6:00 AM, but I ignored it and pulled my blanket over my head. I was so unmotivated to go to work, and although I was the CEO and had a lot of freedom to do whatever I liked, I had a habit of going early to work. But this morning, I just wanted to stay in bed.The alarm rang again at 6:15, and by the time I realized it was Monday and I had the accursed board meeting at 9:00, I panicked and jumped out of bed.Those bastards were not innocent, and I knew they must be behind that attack. All they did every Monday was send their men to bombard me with criticisms and questions.While I was brushing my teeth, my hand shook, and my toothbrush dropped on the floor. I cursed under my breath for being anxious over those bastards.Disgusted, I threw the toothbrush in the trash and looked at myself in the mirror. I was sweating, and I felt a knot in my stomach.I can't be scared of evil people, especially when I haven't done anything wrong to them.To numb my anxiety, I s

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

AshantiFollowing the mind-blowing make-out session with Chadwick, I soared with happiness. It had been a long time since I felt such immense joy, perhaps even never before.Continuing with my daily activities, all I did was smile. Chadwick called me into his office to plan future meetings and compile necessary materials. I pretended not to notice the intense gaze he fixed upon me.He stared at me with a hunger that seemed as though he wanted to devour me."Why do you keep on staring at me?" I asked, my lower lip caught between my teeth. "Is there something on my face?""Don't do that.""Do what?" I feigned ignorance."You know exactly what I mean. It's fucking distracting me.”I nonchalantly shrugged, focusing on organizing some reports into a folder."You're breathtakingly beautiful. I can't help but admire you."My heart raced like a marathon runner."Thank you, but you're my boss and company policy prohibits inter-office relationships.""Rules can be bent," he smirked. "Besides, I

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

Ashanti The clock struck ten AM, and my heart surged with panic. Adrenaline shot through my system, and I took deep, controlled breaths. It was almost time for the annual office photoshoot, and I knew I couldn't be in it if I wanted to keep my secret safe and stay away from my father.I loved this job because I was close to my mate, but I hated the attention it brought especially today. Everyone was dressed in matching blue shirts with the company logo and different pants of their choice. I wore a black pencil skirt and heels.It seemed the universe was mocking me, saying, "You can't hide forever." My father was looking for me; I was sure of that, and he had connections in the human world. Risking being in the photo shoot was dangerous because I knew it would be shown in mainstream media. My dad watches a lot of TV and monitors the human world closely. He might recognize me, and I would be doomed.Laughter and chatter from outside the office filled my ears. My colleagues were headin

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

ChadwickAfter getting over my shock, I experienced a resentful awareness that Ashanti was with that oaf, Henry. It made my ribs squeeze tight with envy and felt like a slap in my face when I saw her sitting at a table across the room with him. They looked cozy, and Henry even had the guts to touch her hand and laugh.Mom kept going on and on, and I tried hard to focus on my dinner. I had a ritual to always take my mom to dinner at least once in two weeks. But now, I had the strong urge to walk over to Ashanti's table and yank her out of here."She's not your girlfriend," my subconscious reminded me. "You have no right over her. Also, this is not the office where you can lord over everyone."My mom was talking nonstop about her book club and the new yoga class she joined. I nodded and smiled, pretending to listen, but my eyes kept wandering to Ashanti's table. Despite not wearing makeup, she was so beautiful that it hurt."Chad, are you okay?" my mom asked, noticing my lack of appeti
