Mated to the Alpha CEO
"Oh, Clara. Still lying to yourself, I see. That dress, that necklace... you're not here as an assistant. You're here as bait."
"Bait for what?"
"For him." She leaned closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Everyone knows Alistair Blackwood doesn't keep assistants. He destroys them. The last one ended up in the hospital, remember? And the one before that? She disappeared."
"Maybe they were incompetent."
"Maybe they were human." Lydia's eyes gleamed. "But you're not human, are you, Clara? You're a wolf. A rejected Omega. And he's an Alpha who's been alone for five years. Tell me... has he mentioned the mate bond yet?"
