I step into his office and he's waiting for me seated behind his desk. He eyes me intently. His amber eyes bore deep like he's trying to look into my soul. My face is neutral with so expressed emotions. “You can't work under me anymore Ms. Robinson.” He says and I wonder why am not surprised. So the rumors were true. “Are you firing me sir?” I ask and everytime I say the word Sir it feels so foreign in my tongue even now. He sighs and gets up from his seat staring at me with a professional look on his face. “I can't continue like you don't know what I want Ms. Robinson.” He replies and I frown not wanting to get into the same topic once more. I look away. “You know it's not possible. You are....married sir.” And I am forced to go down memory lane which brings nothing but pain and sadness.

He returned as a married man with his wife. Now he wants me back but not as his equal but as his secret lover. As his mistress.

Mileena Holland was born into The Nightingale, a prestigious royal Lycan pack, the daughter of two of its most formidable warriors. But at the age of five, her life took a shocking turn—she transformed into a rare white Lycan, something almost unheard of. From that moment on, she was never seen the same way twice. To some, she was a blessing touched by fate; to others, a dangerous omen. The other children made their judgment clear, and Mileena grew up in the shadow of their cruelty. Unable to watch her daughter suffer any longer, Mileena’s mother made the difficult choice to leave the pack, taking her child with her. Her father, bound by loyalty, remained behind.

A brutal rogue attack shattered their new home, claiming many lives, including the one person Mileena had left—her mother. Now alone, burdened by grief and the weight of who she is, Mileena stands at a crossroads. Will she let vengeance consume her, or will she find a way to rise above the pain and forge a new path?

Which makes the boy who broke me…the stepbrother who haunts me across the dinner table. The bond between us is half-finished, raw and vicious, clawing through my veins.

Reckless. Marked by secrets that could burn us all alive. I should stay away. I should hate him for what he did. But when his storm-gray eyes lock on mine and his voice drops low enough for only me to hear— “Run to whoever you want, Lyric. Your wolf will crawl back to me.” I realize the truth. No matter how hard I fight it… I’m already his.
