His Fifth Mate 15
Chapter 15Clarissa POVWe had a long day at work, and it was really weird to think that I'm now dating my boss. It was also something to be excited about, because why not? I guess he's just not good at conversation, and maybe he was just shy.It was finally closing time, and I round up for the day, waiting for him in my office to join me so we can head to the movies since I already got two tickets for us.The door finally opened after about ten minutes of waiting and he walks into my office while maintaining a blank expression as always. Does he never smile?"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Should we go now?" He asks me, looking everywhere else except my face, and I hum as I nod my head."Sure," And with that, we finally head out of my office with him leading the way.The employees keep throwing glances at us as we walk through the lobby minutes later, but I don't really care about them though, because why the hell should I? I am dating my boss, I am proud of it, and I don't owe a

Chapter 16Alpha Miguel POV"Are you kidding me, Roan? How can you even think of that?" I snap at Roan angrily as I slam my hands on the table in front of him. I have only come here to tell him about the progress with my mate so far, but he told me to bring her here already."This is something you need to do...""Come on, we both know that I can't do this... At least not now. She doesn't even know who I am, and you expect me to just bring her here? That's crazy. She's a human for goodness sake, and that is not how things are done in their world," I try to explain to him, trying not to yell again. I know he has been doing his best to help me, which was why I always deemed it fit to listen to him and heed his instructions, but not this one.It has been difficult for me, having to put up all that in the name of making her fall in love with me, but it is more difficult, lying to her. I wonder how she will feel when she finds out about all this."What are you planning to do since you are i

Chapter 17Alpha Miguel POVAs the time drives near, I can't help but feel nervous. We haven't spoken to each other all day, and I didn't even go to her house to pick her up for work today. I was so nervous and I didn't want to be alone with her, and spending the whole day together in the office makes me feel so nervous.The long time finally arrives, and I become even more nervous. We finally close from work, and I drive us to the place we were supposed to have our dinner date. We didn't spend much time on the road before we got to the restaurant."Do you like the food?" She asks as she watches me eat, and I slowly nod my head. She should be acting this way, and not me, but I can't even help it. The mate bond is making me feel like a fool around her, and I don't even know what to do."So, I was saying something on the phone yesterday. So, why don't we get to know each other? You know you already know my friend, how about I know yours? Oh, I'm sorry, you told me you don't have one..."
His Fifth Mate 18
Chapter 18Alpha Miguel POVOne month laterThe past one month have been difficult for me and also been one of the best months of my life. I have developed feelings for Clarissa, and she has been a good girlfriend to me. Well, my people kept pestering me to get a woman again, but I don't really know if I'm ready for this. I'm still scared about the curse. What if she goes like others? I can't afford to take another life again, which is what I've been emphasizing since.It's a beautiful Sunday morning, and since I have nowhere to go, I decided to stay at home and get some rest. I have been avoiding the Pack since they won't stop talking about my mate each time I went there.After I had a long relaxing bath in the bathroom and walk back into my room, I find my phone screen light on, with a message displayed on the screen."Did I get a mail from the company?" I mumble as I walk over to the bed and pick up the phone while drying my hair with a towel. I stop when I see that the message is
His Fifth Mate 19
Chapter 19Clarissa POVI glance at him for the fifth time, and I can't help the scoff that tears through my throat. I couldn't sleep all through the night yesterday, well, all thanks to my boyfriend, or should I say my boss? And to think he was going to run after me and plead with me yesterday but he didn't do it, made me feel less loved. I mean, if he wanted me, he would've run after me and tried to calm me down, yeah?"Annoying jerk!" I mumble and scoff as I glance at him again, and find him working on his desktop. It's crazy how he came to the office this morning and didn't even talk about yesterday like nothing happened. As much as I don't want to keep up with this bullshit anymore, I think I have fallen so deeply in love with him that I can't even imagine myself doing away with him. But wait a minute! Does it change anything? It doesn't even seem to me like we are in a relationship."Just forget it, Clarissa. Focus on work, and everything will fall in place," I glance at him one

Chapter 20Clarissa POVMy day at the office was well spent, and it's finally time to go home. "Do you mind if I drop you off?" I raise my gaze to find him standing inside my office and staring at me with a questioning expression on his face."No, don't worry. I will just take a cab home," I quickly turn down his offer, and he slowly nods his head as he stares at me for seconds."Alright. See you tomorrow then," He utters before he strides out of the office, not sparing me another glance. I just feel like going home by myself today. It has been a while since I last went home alone, and I think I want to give it a try today.I finally round up for the day and leave the office to go home. Strolling on the road and getting fresh air is so much fun, and I reached the bus stop before I know it.As I wait at the bus stop for the bus to arrive, many thoughts flood my mind, which includes Carl. I can't deny that I missed him so much over the years, but Miguel is slowly replacing him and taki

Chapter 21Clarissa POV"Why didn't you tell me Carl is here?" I ask Charity once we are inside the room together, but she only shrugs after she glances at me as if I just asked a stupid question."Because he asked me not to...""And you think it was right not to tell me? What if Miguel and I had come home together? How do you think he would feel?" I yell at her angrily, and she shrugs."He won't feel anything. Carl is your ex-boyfriend and not your current boyfriend. You could've just introduced them to each other, and made it known to Carl that you have a man already. Well, not that he mentioned he wanted you back anyway," She utters sarcastically, and I sigh briefly. "Ugh! Why the hell am I even talking to you?" I groan angrily as I stand up and dash into the bathroom, slamming the door hard behind me. I don't know why I'm so angry, I don't know if it's because Carl was here, or the fact that my crazy friend didn't inform me about it. Why the hell was he even here? What did he wan

Chapter 22Alpha Miguel Silence assumes the atmosphere as I drive us to work later. I glance at her occasionally, and each time, the glance would always comes with a scoff. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm pissed for no good reason. Seeing the way the young man was looking at her earlier, made my heart sting painfully. How dare he stare at our mate like that? Was he seeking death?"Do you want to talk about anything?" I ask her after I glance at her, but she shakes her head instead as she stares out of the window, and I sigh briefly. I don't need anyone to tell me that she must be thinking of that human. Does she still love him? Is she thinking of leaving me and going back to him now that he's back? I'm scared, extremely scared to the bone. Afraid of keeping her by my side, but more terrified of losing her. I'm in the middle of the ocean and I don't know if I should save myself, or drown in this darkness."Carl... When did he come back?" It's irritating me as I call his name, but I can
