Kayla's POV. "Since you wanted to know who it was that was hospitalized, why don't I take you to meet her?" He urged and before I could say, Jack, Alpha Reynolds had already stood to his feet and walked over to where I was standing."Shall we?" He offered as he opened the door, compelling me out of his office. At this point, I couldn't make a single statement but obey every word. I was sure he wasn't ready and willing to talk to me about the person who was hospitalized, so seeing him act this way raised my suspicions and my curiosity to the core. Soon, we exited the company and got into his car, the same car he had made me climb out of last night. Just then, he got into his car and turned to me as he raised his left brow. I wasn't sure what he wanted from me so I looked at him confusingly. In a swift motion, he leaned in closer again to me, just as he had done late last night. This time, he paused right before my face, our lips so close to kissing each other. I froze at the sigh
Reynolds' POV. Getting back into the room after the Doctor had called on me, I just couldn't help but notice the sudden tension that surrounded Kayla and Ava. Kayla tried her best to smile, she tried her best to look okay but it was obvious that she wasn't happy staying closer to Ava. "I'm sorry I kept you two waiting… so I'll go straight to my reason for bringing you here!" I declared, trying to fasten the pace of what I was about to say to both of them. "I didn't get to introduce you two at first but here it is…" I paused, turning to look at Kayla briefly before I veered back to glance at Ava. Ava still had a furious glare fixed on Kayla and although I wasn't sure why, I was certain to get to the bottom of it all. Although Kayla wasn't aware of my plans and tricks, she still tried to act all good and nice, making it difficult for me to discern if they were truly enemies or not. I had to make this move because the last time Ava met with Kayla at the office, it was nothing but
Reynolds' POV. "You know Ava from somewhere, don't you?" I asked, and the moment I posed the question, I couldn't help but notice the sudden change in Kayla's demeanor.She went from uncertainty to fear and shock, visibly stunned by my question, and it happened at the very moment we had just left the hospital, creating an added layer of tension in the air."I… I don't understand what you mean by that, Alpha Reynolds!" She kept on stuttering, her claims still that she didn't understand me. At this point, I just wasn't sure how to spell it out for her anymore. 'How was I going to talk to her about Ava?'"She…." I was going to keep explaining and trying my best to persuade Kayla into responding but just then, the loud ring of my phone pulled me off track. It instantly made me turn around to look at my phone and lifting it up to my face, I suddenly realised that it was Beta Luke."Why is he calling?" I asked inwardly, my gaze fixed on the phone briefly before responding to his call. T
Reynolds' POV."It's quite late, and I'd prefer to take you home," I suggested. In that instant, her gaze abruptly shifted toward me, her eyes widening in a mix of shock and surprise, as if the notion had caught her off guard."I... I just..." she stammered, briefly biting her lower lip, and after a moment, she finally gathered herself and asserted."I don't believe it's the right thing to do, Alpha Reynolds! You have a Luna, and I'm merely your assistant. Being seen together consistently will undoubtedly raise questions!" She expressed her concerns, but I remained steadfast, unwilling to back down. The determination in my eyes mirrored my conviction as I prepared to address her reservations."I don't mind, Kayla. It's simply a gesture of kindness, just dropping you off," I tried to explain, hoping to ease her reservations. However, she remained steadfast, unwilling to join me despite my efforts to clarify her thoughts.Observing others emerging from the hall, she took a deliberate
Kayla's POV. His eyes darted towards me relentlessly, stealing glances with every passing second as he skillfully drove the car. Truth be told, a growing unease enveloped me in the claustrophobic confines of his presence, an evident fear gnawing at the edges of my composure. The rhythmic hum of the engine echoed my racing heartbeat, amplifying the tension that hung thick in the air. I clenched my fist, the fabric of my dress crumpling beneath the force, desperately attempting to maintain composure. I willed myself to stand strong, praying that Alpha Reynolds would cease his relentless gaze. Yet, in the depths of my hopeful musings, a stark reality emerged; who was I kidding? His eyes continued their stealthy dance, stealing glances that intensified the internal struggle. Questions swirled in my mind like a tempest, demanding answers to the reason for his persistent stare at me. The pretence of composure shattered within me, the weight of acting ignorant becoming unbeara
Kayla's POV."Kayla, you should..." Alpha Reynolds was going to say, but instantly, my instincts kicked in, and I found myself reacting swiftly to his words."I think I'll be on my way now! Thank you so much for the ride, Alpha!" I bowed my head immediately, and turning around, I opened the door and ran out of the car before he could utter another word to me.I noticed he climbed out of his car to chase after me, but I was already far gone before he could stop me. I burst into the house, and instantly, darkness engulfed me instantly. Slamming the door shut, I leaned against it, my chest rising and falling as I struggled to catch my breath. A mix of shock and amazement filled me, leaving me on the edge of anticipation for what had just transpired."What just happened?" My eyes bulged out as I tried to get a hold of myself. I was still in a state of self-reflection when, unexpectedly, the lights came on and his voice followed. "What are you doing?""Ahhh!" With a sudden jolt, I let o
Kayla's POV."Stay focused, Kayla... no matter what. The Alpha wants nothing but to use you!" I declared as I tried reminding myself about what had happened last night in the car.Without hesitation, I grabbed my bag, and with my grip tightening on the strap, I exited the room and headed for the exit of the house.Willson went to work because he had to sign an important contract, and I totally understood why.Despite the passage of time, it remained unmistakable in his tone that he harboured lingering irritation towards me for the events that happened between Alpha Reynolds and myself the previous night.Getting to the door, I swiftly left the house, locked the door, and stopped a cab. As I embarked on my journey to the company, a knot of anxiety and fear intertwined with a blend of excitement surged through my veins, leaving me perplexed about the underlying reasons behind these intense emotions.A sudden surge of eagerness enveloped me as the thought of seeing Alpha Reynolds crosse
Kayla's POV."Where else, Kayla? I am taking you to the hospital! I can't stand the thought of my assistant being down with a fever!" He asserted possessively as his grip on my hand tightened, making me get so stunned for a split second.If there was anything I was expecting, it definitely wasn't the scene of Alpha Reynolds storming into my office to drag me out of it like he owned me.Like Ava never existed and that we've been in love for a long time now.Without a second glance at me, he turned his stare towards the exit of the office, and instantly, he dragged me out of the office.As we headed for the exit of the company, I couldn't help but get so embarrassed and silently bullied too at the judgmental sight of everyone that saw Alpha Reynolds holding my hand.I swallowed anxiously as I stared back at them, but not for too long because, trust me, it was horrifying and scary.It felt as though I had claimed their Alpha to myself, and they weren't going to get him from me anymore w
