All Chapters of Under Her Spell: Saving The Alpha : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

NathanI scrolled on my laptop through the endless stream of numbers and contracts. I had so much work to do, but my focus was not on anything relating to work.My eyes drifted up from my screen. She sat across the room behind her desk, her head tilted slightly as she studied the files I’d given to her earlier. The pen in her hand tapped once, twice, before she caught it in between her lips and started chewing on it absentmindedly.I couldn’t help the small smile that played on my lips as a flicker of amusement crossed my face, but then something else caught my attention. Watching her subconscious actions, I found her cute… no, cute was far too small of a word. She was breathtaking. She was the definition of beautiful. She was a masterpiece.Her dark wavy hair framed her face perfectly. Her hair caught the light anytime she shifted, and it gave it a different kind of glow.And her eyes, those green, sharp, alive eyes. Just a look from her did things to me I couldn’t explain. They were

ElizabethI stood by the window, my hands tapping rhythmically on the glass as I watched Nathan get into his car and drive off.My lips curved into a cold smirk as I watched the car slowly disappear like a predator watching its prey. He thought I didn’t notice what had been going on with him lately— his little distance, his sudden shift in mood, the way his eyes sometimes looked lost.But I did. I saw it all.When the car was no more in view, I glanced around the room, making sure no one was within earshot before I slowly reached for my phone, then I dialed the one number I couldn't forget.It rang once.Twice.Then she answered.“Lizzy…” my mother’s voice purred through the phone. It reminded me of how much I’d actually missed her. “News of the Luna ceremony reached me. Is everything moving according to plan?”I let out a low laugh, more like a hiss. “Yes, Mother. The ceremony. But that isn't why I called,” I breathe out, my voice sliding into something darker.Her voice became shar

The drive back to the packhouse was quiet, too quiet actually. It was the kind of silence that carried heavy tension; you didn’t need words to feel it.The city lights passed by in a blur. Kaima kept looking out the window, refusing to meet Nathan’s gaze, not even once since the near-kiss incident . She couldn’t believe she had almost kissed someone else's mate—her boss, the other day in the office.Their lips were so close, and if his phone hadn’t rung, she never would have been able to stop herself. The guilt ate her alive because he had a mate—a sweet beautiful one.She shut her eyes for a second to calm her guilty broken heart. She could feel Nyx stirring. Somehow, Nathan's close proximity wasn't helping them.‘Are we supposed to keep avoiding him?’ Nyx asked softly, Kaima could hear the sadness in her tone. She knew Nyx was disappointed Nathan had a mate, but what could they do? They couldn't fight fate.They've never met a man who stirred their emotions this much, and then the f

ElizabethThe air was thick. I sat, parked in my car and took a deep breath. This wasn’t the part of town I wanted to be in right now. I looked at the time—it was getting late, and Nathan would be back from the office anytime soon, so I had to do this fast.I got out of the car and pulled the hoodie over my head. The energy from this place creeped me out; the air smelled of old secrets.This was the witch district of New York. It looked like every normal place, only that werewolves weren’t invited—only witches and humans who had no idea of the supernatural world lived here.The street lamps were dim, and it felt like every shadow I passed was watching me. Goddess, this place gave me the ick.A few witches hiding in the shadows hissed under their breath as I passed, their eyes glowing faintly in the dark. I felt the tension in the air—centuries of hate between our kind. I quickened my pace. I didn’t want a fight, but I came prepared. I wasn’t here to make friends, and no one was going

KaimaI told myself it didn’t mean anything. All throughout the day, I’d tried to convince myself that the kiss didn’t happen, but I knew better. It did happen, and denial wasn’t going to fix anything. I needed to talk to him. To understand why he kissed me. Did he feel the same way I feel?When I got to the door of his room, I knocked, but there was no response. The door was slightly ajar, so I gently pushed it open and walked in.“Nathan…” I called quickly.My eyes moved through the room and landed on the bed—then I froze.Elizabeth was in his arms, their lips locked together, kissing passionately. His hands were underneath her nightwear, her hands tugging at his shirt. For a moment, I felt my heart stop; my brain couldn’t process what I was seeing. I wanted to speak, but all the words were stuck in my throat, my chest crashing violently against my ribs.When Nathan’s eyes flicked to mine, I saw realization flash in them like he just snapped out of something. He quickly detached hi
