Mag-log inRebecca's POV What?!” I blurted, my chair screeching against the floor as I bolted upright.People in the restaurant turned their faces to our direction.“Sorry,” I muttered to them.I leaned in, keeping my voice low. “You got fired? When? Why? How?”He took a deep breath, shifting in his chair. “The manager just told me that he's sorry about doing it, that it was an order from the top.” From the top? That was impossible.As far as I knew, Blake wasn't the type to make any enemies. He was the type of guy who got tipped extra and held doors open.“That doesn't make sense,” I pressed. “Last time I checked, you weren't the type to get on anyone's bad side. And the owner is always such an easygoing person.”“Was,” Blake corrected quietly, finally looking up. “The place got bought out by some investment firm two days before they let me go.”It had to be the new owner. I couldn't prove it, but the timing seemed too perfect to be a coincidence. “So…have you been job hunting lately? Or you
Rebecca's POV I raked my hand through my messy hair for the hundredth time. I was getting crazy. And that was for sure. Two days ago, two guys saved me from an attack. They were complete strangers, but one of them had that faint scent of Kael—one of my mates. The weird part was that it wasn't the first time. And that's what made me confused. Was Kael actually here? No….no…no… It can't be. His father wasn't going to let him out of the pack to the human world. Not when he knew I was currently residing there. I shook my head, an act I loved doing to take off my mind from something. Today was the weekend and I was going to spend it in bed having crazy thoughts. I pushed myself up from the bed. My legs trembled slightly from staying in bed all day. “Chring, Chring” A notification buzzed from my phone. I bent down, picking up the phone from the bedside table. When I opened it, I realized it was a text from Lily. My hands hovered on the screen, hesitating to find
Kyle's instincts kicked in as Damien and Lucian approached him, their eyes shinning with a mixture of jealousy and curiosity. He couldn't shake off the feeling that they were digging for something, and trying to uncover a secret he wasn't ready to reveal.As they drew closer, Kyle'skins was filed with thoughts and questikns. What did they want from him? Had Kael's brothers finally figured out that he was more than just a pack warrior? The thought sent a shiver down his spine."Hey, if I'm not mistaken, you're Kael's new friend," Damien said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Kyle maintained a neutral expression, aware of the danger lurking beneath the surface. "Just serving my Alpha," he replied, trying to downplay his connection to Kael.Lucian's eyes narrowed, his gaze flicking to the black card in Kyle's hand. "That... that's Kael's card," he stammered, his voice laced with accusation.Damien's grin returned, and he took a step closer. "What exactly do you do with Kael? You sure you
The moment Kael walked into Le Coeur de la Vie, the cozy café fell silent. All conversations trailed off, and lots of forks paused mid-bite. The rich aroma of fresh croissants and dark espresso was overpowered by the commanding scent of cedarwood and storm-rain that seemed to cling to Kael; the aura alone coming from him was commanding.He stood in the doorway, looking every inch the Alpha in his tailored charcoal three-piece suit. The kind of cloth that screamed power and wealth, the crisp black silk shirt beneath was open at the collar, revealing the strong, tanned line of his throat. The cufflinks glinted at his wrists, and his dark hair was styled backward and gave him that dangerous Alpha vibe. A sleek silver rate edition watch laid on his wrist, completing the picture of refined power.Cassidy's breath caught as she took in the sight of him. 'Gods above, he's incredible.' She thought. Heat flared low in her belly, and she wanted to rise, close the distance, and press her palms a
Kyle stood in front of the cracked full length mirror, adjusting his tie for what felt like the hundredth time. The navy blue suit was one of his finest, making him look sharp and kind of classic. And he sprayed the cheap perfume his sister had gifted him on his birthday. His sister, Lily, walked into the room, her eyes scanning him up and down before she scoffed like she'd just smelled something foul. She leaned on the doorframe with her arms crossed under her chest."What's with the get-up?" she asked, her tone dripping with disdain like honey off a bitter spoon.Kyle ignored her, focusing on putting on his watch. The one his dad had given him the Christmas before he passed away."I'm going out," he said, trying to sound casual like he did this every night.Lily raised an eyebrow, her expression saying, "You think?" "With Cassidy, I presume?"Kyle nodded, still fidgeting with his cufflinks. "Yeah. We're grabbing coffee."Lily snorted like a bull in a china shop. "Coffee? At Le Coeur
Aldric's eyes narrowed like a hawk spotting its prey as he stared at Cassidy, his face was a mix of calculation and mischievousness. Aldric was like a ticking bomb when he needed something, and Cassidy knew she had to defuse him, which was simple; obeying him."Cassidy, I need to talk to you," Aldric said, his voice low and menacing, like that of a snake.Cassidy entered her father's study, her eyes wary, her heart racing so loud, she thought he might hear it. She didn't like her dad so well, because all he cared was wealth and power. The room was dimly lit, but bright enough to recognize someone, and go through files. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she approached her father's desk."What is it, Father?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, but it was loud enough for h in m to hear.Aldric's expression was like that of a storm cloud; dark and cold. "I want you to seduce Kyle and get information from him," he said, his words like a command not a request. His tone was c
"I'm… sorry for the way I acted earlier," Kael said, his voice low. The words came out stiff and awkward, because an apology was something he hardly ever gave.Damien blinked, staring at his brother with genuine surprise in his eyes. "I forgive you," he said almost immediately, the words coming out
I woke up in the middle of the night, my body aching from the intensity of the love making we had. I gently eased Damien arms around my waist and Lucian's grip off my breast. When I finally freed myself from their bodies, I crawled out from the bed. Once I stood up my legs ached and memories of our
Chapter 29: He is rejectedShe remained silent the whole walk, as she stole side glances at her father's expression and as usual it was cold, stoic and masked. Sometimes Cassidy wished she just had a less power hungry father and one that’ll care about her. “What? Are you scared to reject him or
"What?! Are you serious?" Emily said, her eyes widening in shock."Yes, I am. And why would I joke about something like that?" Cassidy responded."I hope you rejected him," Emily said, raising her brows."No, I didn’t. I was so shocked to even process anything," Cassidy replied."Did you go back to
