All Chapters of Fated To The CEO Heir: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

During my first week with Xanders Financial I became friends with not only Missy, my assistant, but also Steven, who is also a manager in sales like myself. The three of us settled into what one could call a normal routine. For the last three weeks, every morning Missy has a venti caramel macchiato waiting for me as I walk through the door at 7:30am each day. Missy found that she didn’t mind the early hour and half that I came in before anyone else. It also gives us a chance to catch up on things that occurred after we said our goodbyes the previous day. After about twenty minutes of general chit chat, we began our day, me going over any accounts that were placed on my desk after I left the previous day, Missy updating me on what was on the agenda for the day as far as meetings, sales pitches, etc. Steven shows up a 9am on the dot every day and tries to give Missy and I hell about always coming in early, but ends up saying hey as long I say off the Alexanders radar the better, we all

Scarlett’s POV:Who the hell does he think he is to just dismiss me and send me back to the hotel? I am his fiancée, after all I should have a say in all matters Scarlett fumes while taking the town car back to the hotel. Once she arrives to the penthouse suite, she lets out a startled gasp as she walks into the room and sees that it is covered from ceiling to flow with beautiful bouquets of roses ranging from vibrant yellows, reds, purples, and pinks. Tears come to her eyes as she begins to dream of what her wedding night suite would be filled with. Scarlett proceeds to go to the bathroom to shower and make sure she is freshened up from this unbearable heat she has found herself in. After showering and changing into a light maxi dress that hugs all her curves and shows just the right amount of cleavage to make sure she drives Maverick wild when he comes back in. Really Scarlett, do you think that is going to change things I keep trying to tell you he is not ours. My wolf Celeste sa

Scarlets POV:As we get back to the room after dinner, I start to rack my brain on just how to find this so-called mate that is threatening everything I have worked hard to achieve. There is no way I will let some nobody just take away the years of hard work, lies, schemes, and deceit that I have done and make it all for nothing. After telling Maverick I am going to take a bath and retreating to the beautiful on-suite; Internally I shriek, “AHHHHHHH, this can’t be happening!!!!” Celeste: I tried to warn you ahead of time, but nooooo you never want to listen do you. I mean yeah Maverick has been by your side for the last 2 years and yes, he made promises but think about it. Your only of Delta breed and Maverick is an Alpha do you really think that he would reject his mate which would in turn make him weak overall, Hmm?Shut it Celeste he made a promise to me, proposed to me, and brought me all the way to the states to inform his uptight father there is no way I am going to allow him t

​Maverick’s POV​The heavy silence that followed Aurora’s departure from the restaurant was more suffocating than any physical weight I had ever carried. I remained seated at the table, the scent of her—that agonizingly perfect blend of caramel, rain-drenched apples, and something uniquely Aurora—lingering in the air like a ghost.​On the table sat the wedding invitation Scarlett had so gleefully presented. It was thick, cream-colored cardstock with gold-embossed lettering: The Marriage of Maverick Xanders and Scarlett DuPont. I stared at it until the letters blurred. To the rest of the world, this piece of paper represented a merger of power and prestige. To me, it looked like a tombstone.​Lucas, my wolf, was pacing so violently within my mind that I felt my claws involuntarily begin to peek from my fingertips. “She’s gone,” he snarled, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that made my chest ache. “We let the Alpha’s mate walk away while the Delta’s daughter wears our mark on her finge

​By the time Wednesday morning rolled around, the air inside the Xanders Financial headquarters was absolutely thick with it.​Gossip.​It hummed through the sleek, modern hallways. It buzzed in the employee breakrooms. It practically vibrated through the frosted glass of my office walls. Everyone... every single person... in the building had noticed.​They had noticed that the Alpha’s notoriously elusive son, the playboy who was supposed to be on a romantic vacation with his gorgeous Parisian fiancée, was instead spending ninety percent of his waking hours hovering around the fifteenth floor.​Hovering around me.​I sat at my desk, my fingers resting motionless over my keyboard. I stared blindly at the complex spreadsheet illuminating my monitor, the numbers blurring together into a meaningless sea of black and white.​Inside my mind, Violet was pacing relentlessly.​He is close, she hummed, her tail brushing against the edges of my consciousness. I can feel him. He is th
