Quotes About Distance

It all started with one encounter. One night with a man whose touch felt like sin and whose scent still haunts my skin. I never meant to fall — but when I caught my boyfriend, the Alpha’s son, cheating on me, something inside me broke. And that’s when he found me — a stranger cloaked in dominance and danger. His hands promised ruin, his lips whispered damnation. I gave in. Just once. Or so I thought. Now, I’ve been hired as the Alpha’s new secretary. And when I walked into his office, the world stopped. Because he’s not a stranger. He’s him. The man from that night. The man I should have never touched. The father of my ex. I tell myself I can resist him — that I can keep my secret buried. But every time his gaze lingers, every time that deep, commanding voice wraps around my name, my resolve burns away. This isn’t love. It's an obsession. Possession. Darkness disguised as desire. And I know one thing for sure — once an Alpha sets his eyes on you… He never lets go.
