Robert POV.Seeing another man trying to take away what is mine brings out paranoia in me. “Oh Cody, I’m so sorry. Can we do this some other time? I will make it up to you.” Marissa smooths things over. This Cody looks from her to me. He is brave for a human, but in terms of strength, he is no match for me. “Of course, Dr Ramsey, I still have a thesis to finish, so I’ll head back to my dorm. It was a pleasure working with you today. See you tomorrow!” With that, he walks away. Marissa turns to smile at me while biting her plump bottom lip, causing my cock to harden at the sight. I groan, but quickly mask it. “I take it your day has been good?” I ask as she draws closer to me. Even though I feel guilty because I’m here with her instead of my mate. I can’t explain it, I am just more drawn to Marissa than I am to Jennifer. Goddess I’m such a piece of shit.“I got a promotion today.” She is in high spirits and nods excitedly. How I wish I could pull her into my arms and give her a hu
Marissa POV.I never realised how fun it would be to watch Damien being put firmly in his place. To watch his face go through an array of colours from red to blue, then white. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the shit he just found himself in. If I knew revenge would be this satisfying, I would have done this long ago. People better watch out because this feeling is addicting.Robert takes my hand and leads me out of the restaurant, away from Damien. However, I can’t believe the bomb Robert dropped on not just Damien, but me, too.“Why didn’t you ever tell me you’re the Lycan Prince?” I would be lying if I said I wasn’t hurt that he didn’t trust me with this secret. I honestly thought we didn’t have secrets, but clearly, I was mistaken.Robert stops walking and turns to face me and I look anywhere but at him directly. He places his large calloused hands on the side of my face and I move from his touch; he tilts my head up so I’m looking at him.“I wanted to tell you from the day you sav
Marissa POV.Taking my phone out, I called an Uber to take me to the hotel. Sitting in the backseat, I am stuck in my thoughts of what has happened over the past 24 hours. I sigh looking out of the window. My ex mate rejected me after he used me to benefit his pack members and to sate his sexual desires. Robert seems to be no different, he flirts with me but he is mated to my sister. Humph, men. The drive from Robert’s apartment to the hotel I booked is quite far and I feel really sick.“Could you pull over please?” I ask the driver who nods and pulls over.“Thank you, I will be back in a few moments.” I say as I open the door, taking deep breaths to ease the sickness that threatens to rush up my throat. My hand instinctively touches my bump. After a short while the sickness subsides and I climb back in and we continue our journey towards the hotel.The hotel looks really cheap, which isn’t a problem at all, but it gives off an eerie, spooky vibe, like it’s haunted or something. I sh
Marissa POV.What Lucy mentioned about that musky spicy perfume being used to induce miscarriage is all I have been able to think about. I need to figure out which one of these two evil malicious women would do this. However, it all points to Jennifer. She is the only one to know about my connection with Robert and the fact I am pregnant. Walking towards my office to pack up for the day, my phone dings signalling to a new message. Pulling the phone out, I see a message from an unknown number.UNKNOWN: Marissa, it’s mom. I am truly sorry for what happened the other night. I would like to apologise to you in person over dinner tonight. Also Jen told me what happened last night and she too would like to apologise, love mom xx.I sigh, reading the message. Would it be like walking into a dragon’s den? I suppose it would be the best way to find out their intentions towards me, plus with the rumours and that perfume, maybe I will find something if they lower their guards. Hmm!ME: Hi, mom.
Robert POV.There is only one purpose for this conference this morning. That is to catch the thieving rat with his pants down. I have my evidence, and with the sudden appearance of Damien; I know exactly what is going on. Charles. Jen, and Marissa’s father has been embezzling company money and he will pay for crossing me.The money was to be used to clear the debt Voltro Limited had acquired with medical equipment that was overdue, but instead they didn’t receive that money. It is no mystery where it went, but I needed solid evidence of this. I had Alix use his contact with Tyler to find out where the money for the equipment went. It shocked me that it didn’t go to Voltro Limited like it should have, but it went to Optima Industries, which is Charles’ company. Glancing at the document in my hand, I sweep my icy gaze towards him and he gulps. This is perfect. “So Charles, what did you do with the 8 billion dollars that was meant to go to Voltro?” I ask. I won’t beat around the bush w
Marissa POV.The next day, I arrived at the medical centre. It’s a private one and I don’t need to worry about the leakage of personal information. As I walk towards the antenatal department, Damien comes out of nowhere. Why Selene? For fuck’s sake! “You stalking me now?” I sneer as I walk past him. Why can’t I catch a fucking break? He didn’t bother with me this much when we were still mates and now he’s everywhere I go like a shadow.“I have every right to see my pup, Rissa.” I groan and kill him in my mind several times for this. Ignoring him, I enter the department and let the receptionist know I am here for my appointment. He sits next to me and I don’t look at him or speak to him as I take my phone out of my bag and scroll through my emails, hoping to see something from Cody. But nothing. I am being impatient. I know he said 48 hours, but I need the answers now!My name is called and I stand walking into the room with the sonographer with Damien following closely behind me. I
Marissa POV.Uncertainty gnaws away at my insides as I make my way to the laboratory. I really hope Cody has found something, but my gut is telling me something isn’t right. Pushing the door open, my eyes widen. Not only is Cody here, but so is Lucy. A smirk forms on my face, oh how I would love to tease them right now, but the looks on their faces makes me stop. They both look extremely serious right now. “Ok guys, what’s happened?” I ask as I walk close to Cody and Lucy.“I’m sorry Dr Ramsey, I took a nap last night and when I woke up to check the results, I saw that the samples you brought had been contaminated.” My eyebrow furrow. The samples became contaminated? But how? This is seriously becoming a joke. Whoever is behind this is definitely covering their tracks well. Sighing, I pinch the bridge of my nose as I pace back and forth, my heart beating wildly. Why is this happening to me?“Is there any chance we could get the right analysis?” I ask as I move toward the lab chair t
Robert POV.Dr Greyson Hawthorn is a renown medical expert. He is a werewolf who lives in the gated community here in the human world. So wolves move here to get away from pack life. Instead of going rogue, they move here for it’s safer for them to wolf out amongst the humans. The community is exclusive and only wolves can live here. I came here to see him and I was just explaining to him how much it would mean to have him become a member of my team and his insight would be extremely helpful. When Marissa walked in. I sat, shocked, as I looked at her. I wanted to say hello to her, but she turned and walked away. It hurt me that she doesn’t want to be in the same room as me. Did she reconcile with Damien? Just the thought is enough to break my heart further. “Please excuse me, your Highness.” Greyson bows as he scurries after Marissa. I nod as he calls after her and she stops by the door. I don’t turn around, but I can hear the worry in their voices. What the hell has happened that
