All Chapters of Fated to the Alpha: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

She turns pale at my words, and after a moment, hisses, "An asset? A little whore like you? I've heard things about you, Cynthia. You've been warming Norman Moore's bed since you were sixteen. He's passed you around in his social circle as well." Sharon scoffs, "To think that Alpha Moore would give his older son such used goods––""I think that's enough," I say, trying to control the tremor in my hands. "You have a problem with me, you talk to Adam Moore. I don't have to listen to your garbage accusations.""Pity," Sharon sneers. "Why would he fire you? All you have to do is spread your legs for him and he––""If you think him so weak-minded," I say, "then why are you working for him?"She falls silent, her expression twisting. "I didn't call him weak-minded.""That's what you implied," I retort. "You think me whoring myself out to your CEO will convince him to keep me hired on even though my character is stained, right?""Excuse me?" Comes a cold voice from the doorway.I look over t

"I would hate for a repeat of the other day to happen, so I brought the file to you myself." I meet Director Baden's gaze. "But it seems like I was the only one concerned. Next time, there is a communication blackout, I will simply drop an email and then it's your department's responsibility from there on out."Director Baden pales. "I'm so sorry, Miss Rose.""I'm not blaming you. Clearly, your staff is unable to handle their tasks."I get to my feet and am about to walk out when Rachel sticks out her foot. However, Norman has pulled this trick plenty of times when we were kids. I slowly turn to face her, my voice cold. "Did you just try to trip me?"She immediately yanks back her foot, but the Director has already seen it, and her face turns red with anger. "Rachel, what is the meaning of this?"As Rachel stammers, trying to dig herself out of this hole, I walk out. I'm about to take the stairs when I see the notice that they're being mopped. Groaning, I wait by the elevator.A few m

"Since when do you believe such rumors, Watson?" I frown."You fired a promising marketing director because of her!""And I intend to fire a few more people." I get to my feet now, my voice hard. "Sharon Wheeler wasn't fired because of what she said to Cynthia. She was fired because she let her arrogance and her belief in a few wild rumors affect her work. She nearly cost us millions by refusing to obey an order. She insulted and kicked out my PA when I sent Cynthia over with instructions. If Cynthia had not come up with the launch plans she did, we would be facing a massive loss, and that would have affected your profit margin as well. And the plans Cynthia came up with were so interesting and manageable, way below the budget Sharon had initially asked for, that one plan is going to be utilized for this product and the other is going to be kept on the back burner for another product in development."Watson is quiet as he listens to me.I tuck my hands in my pocket, facing him. "KDL F

Cynthia leans back in her seat, using her blouse to fan her face. "No. No, not that. I…"She lets out a shuddering breath, and it hits me what this thick scent in the car is. I didn't notice it before, but it's making me a little light-headed."Cynthia," I touch her face, and she's burning.A whine escapes her lips at my touch and worry fills me. "Cynthia, what did you take?""What?" Her voice sounds husky, a little breathy. "Nothing.""You took something," I say urgently, pressing my fingers against her pulse. It's too fast. The car is filled with the smell of her arousal, and it's making my wolf agitated. My cock is hardening. This is not the right time for her to go into heat."What did you drink?" I demand."Ic-Iced tea. Norman had… He'd ordered it already."Her back arches at my touch, and I can see how hard her nipples are. They're poking through her shirt.This is not good."What did your drink taste like?"She doesn't respond, her hands reaching for me. I grab her wrists, stop

"I know we're fated mates. I get it." Cynthia steps back from me, her arms wrapped around her middle, a miserable look in her eyes. "You're probably kind to me because of this bond between us. You don't see me. You see the fated mate. Nobody sees me. And…" Her breathing is shallow. "The fact is, all that aside, because you have been so kind to me since you met me, I don't want to hurt you." She looks up to meet my gaze, her voice heavy. "Jonathon wouldn't have sent me to you without a reason. I am the most dangerous person in your life right now, Adam. The closer you pull me, the more dangerous I become. I cannot be loyal to anyone but Jonathon."Her lashes are wet with tears. "I'm sorry. I can't tell you why, but I have no choice. It would be better for you to hate me. I know you can choose another mate. Do that. You will never be able to give me the mating mark. The day you do, your fate is sealed."She steps away from me as I watch her, my body heavy.I want to stop her, but the si
