Dan’s POVI nice scent hit my nostril, a familiar home cook scent that I smelled from time to time. I can’t help but gradually open my eyes but immediately cover them using my hand, the rays of the sun hitting the window hurting them.What time is it?I try to reach for my phone on the table on the side, however, I can’t find it. That’s when I finally got back to my senses and realized that it was not my room or office anymore, but it was no new surroundings anymore.I’ve been here so many times, though, and it always has the same reason… Sex.“You’re finally awake, I’d inform the office that we both can’t go there today so you better take a rest for the whole day. Cas and your family are also worried so I told them that everything is all right now.” It’s Rage, leaning on the side of the doorway.“Thank you, but you don’t have to do that. I can go later in the office, nothing is wrong in my body.” I reply back and try to sit up, but a sharp pain crosses all over my body. “What the f*c
Dan’s POV“Sir Dan!!!” Toff hurriedly run toward me and hug me the first thing in the morning once he sees me step inside the building, “What happened to you, you made me so worried. Take me back as your secretary again!”I can help but sigh and patted his head, well, he’s younger than me and an omega too so it’s okay to be clingy for me… But we both can feel how sharp all the stare Rage is throwing toward our direction.“You better go distance yourself from him, Toff,” Rage said with a threatening voice, but both of us knew that he is just kidding. Though, Toff’s finally let me off his hug.“Why do you want to come back to me, Cas is your boss now.” I chuckle, knowing that he does not have much work with my sister; I can’t help but feel pity for his talent.“I’m going crazy if I will stay by her side, Dan, please take me back before I ended up in the mental.” He said tiredly.“That’s not his problem anymore, Cas is good so you can do it!” Rage gently pushes him away from me, and Toff
Dan’s POV“Where at the office, maybe later,” I said and was about to open the door to my office when he stops me.“You didn’t go home last night, where did you sleep?” His hand tightens his grip on my arm, it stings but I didn’t say anything. Just small touch but it sends me great hotness in my whole body, how crazy.“As my secretary, it’s not your job to track my personal life. If I didn’t go home and sleep to someone else house, it’s not your business so please don’t act like we have something more than employer’ employee relationship.” I held my breath.Funny enough, as if we are only destined to hurt each other and not to love at all. It’s hurt my ears on how silent the surrounding is, but there’s no one tried to move like we are waiting for something. Am I waiting for him to keep asking me?I could not help but look down, I have no confidence to raise my head because I know that he can see my reflection on the sliver door. I’m afraid that he will see that there still something f
Arther’s POVI can’t remember how much I practice, thinking of the right words to say once we met after that night. Yet, I failed.I can tell how much he hates me, to the point that he can’t even lift his head to look me in the eyes. Maybe this is what they called ‘karma’, the thing he felt back then I can feel it now. As if there are a million needles poking inside of my chest, it made me hard to breathe.All he wants to do is to get away from me faster as he could, leaving me behind without looking back. As if he wants to get back to what I’ve done in the past, but there is nothing I can even do. I’m afraid to step forward, to hold his hand and stop him walk away.What is there for me to do that?Who I am to make such a thing to him?I don’t think there are rights left for me to hold even the strand of his hair, because like what he said, fated mate has no weight for him now…If I push myself into his life aggressively, he will surely hate me more than right now. I should have known
Arther’s POV“Huh? Can’t you tell me later once I’ve done all the things I should do?” Dan looks at me in surprise, “I need to get ready for the lunch meeting, the other party might already arrive there and I can’t let them wait for…”I did not wait for him to stop, I put all my courage to pull him and let our lips collide. My heart is too loud, I’m ashamed that he can clearly hear it but what can I do?“There is no client for lunchtime, you will meet that Alpha again… Don’t lie, you guys talk about it in front of me and I’m your secretary, there is no point lying about your schedule.”“You…” I saw it coming, but I let his hand slap me the way he wants. I know that I’m wrong, kissing him without permission is rude… “How dare you kiss me!” In his veins, I can see how angry he is.“I’m sorry, but my instinct says I should do it. As your mate, I can tell that if I don’t do anything right now, I will lose you.” No, it’s not because of just instinct. But, is there a change if I’ll be more
Rage’s POVJust seeing them standing together made my skin irks, I can’t control my emotions whenever that Alpha is closer to Dan but I have nothing I can do. I can’t just throw him away because once I did something like that, Dan will feel displeased.“Why the long face?” Dan asks as the elevator shut.“Why not? You are there again talking with him, I thought you won’t let yourself be tangled with him?” I can’t control my voice to sound like a jealous boyfriend.“But he’s the one who keeps talking, and also, he’s asking for a second chance.” Dan gave out a faint smile, “would you imagine that? The one who always rejects me is now asking me to give him another chance to take responsibility.”“What did you say?”My heart is throbbing, afraid that in this game I choose to gamble; in the end, I will lose.“I don’t know if I answer him well, though, I’m planning to give him one.” He looks at the floor, “it’s not that I still want him.”“Then why? Why do you want to take the trouble for th
Rage’s POV“W-wait were outside, Rage, someone might see us.” His trembling hands try to push me away from him, “The reservation you made in the restaurant…” I did not let him finish his words, I kiss him deeper than earlier. Whenever I remember how that Alpha scent lingered on him that night, I could not restrain myself to feel inferior to him. Why he has to be his fated mate and not me?As we were both short of breath, we gradually parted our lips. “I will stop when you agree to what I said.” I put my forehead on him, “Now tell me, Dan, are you accepting my proposal? I can wait until you are done to get your revenge, but there is really a limit to everything.”There is a clear doubt in his eyes, afraid that sooner he will change his mind. But no, I can’t let you do that Dan, I’m not a sheep waiting for his master but a wolf waiting for prey.“Okay, I will offer my nape for you.” He replies and kisses me once again.I should be happy, but there’s nothing I can feel but the guilt of
Dan’s POVI’m sure that I’ll be happy, I will prove the quote that we can’t teach our heart who we should love is wrong after all.“I’ll be happy as long that there is someone who wants me, not as family or friend but in a romantic way and Rage is the only one, I can think of.” I could not help but smile, it’s not that I’m happy. Rather than that, I will funny.How long I’ve been with Rage, doing something everything that lover can do yet we keep standing on the edge and don’t want to take a step forward to each other.And so, if he did… I will take a step backward reason for him to stop, afraid that I will fall into the abyss because of him.Why did I not see it at all back then?The Alpha who acts like a bastard is actually being patient with me?“Damn!” Cassandra slams her hand on the table.“W-what? You don’t like the idea that I will be part of your family?” Rage also slams his hand on the table, they both lean toward each other like about to fight.“No! That’s not it.” Cassandra
