16| His Secretary
She could feel the beginnings of a headache that would definitely stay with her throughout the day. Barbara placed a cup of Chamomile tea in front of her and sat beside her, silent and brooding. Liam was still resting, his injury healing slowly. Summer cradled the cup in her hands before taking a small sip. The warm, mellow yet sweet taste was pleasant. The vintage clock in the living room showed that Summer needed to get going or she would be late, but for once she wanted to be late. She didn’t feel like facing anyone, especially not her boss.
Beside her, Barbara quietly flipped through a magazine. After the breakdown, she didn’t question her further, letting Summer take her time. She wasn’t ready yet, but she would definitely tell her someday. Once she finished her tea, she moved to stand up. “I’ll be driving you today,” the older lady announced, standing up as well. Summer gripped the handle of h

Summer felt herself nod minutely. At the back of her brain, she knew that she was indirectly agreeing to his offer. She also knew that the reason he provided was most probably not true or half-true. Mr. King repeated, “So...you agree?” He quirked his eyebrows. She gulped, knowing that if she declines the offer then the boss might target her or bully her, that’s what she has endured her entire life. But if she accepted the offer then she would no doubt make countless mistakes and will be fired, eventually. Morosely, she thought that it was better to agree and get fired. She only needed to keep her distance, and it wasn’t like he had done anything bad to her. On the contrary, he had helped her numerous times. She nodded once again, this time more firmly. Mr. King straightened. “Very well, I will ask Kyle to shift your things here. He gestured behind her back and she turned her head part
The Alpha's Golden-eyed Seer 18| Unsettling Absence
Summer was thankful for one thing and that is her boss did not talk much. She had shifted to the small cabin, which gave her a chance to have mini freakouts every time she went up to her boss to ask for something or show some documents. Even after two days, she was getting used to her new role. Hannah had offered her a tight smile when she had finally informed her, which had made her sad because she could tell that her colleague wasn’t too happy for her.Yesterday when she was on a coffee break, she had heard two women whispering not so quietly behind her. Their implication was that she must have done something, or rather ‘slept’ with her boss to gain such a promotion, since he had not appointed a secretary for as long as they could remember. That night she had sobbed in the confines of her room, letting her sorrow roll down the cheeks in the dark.

“Mate….trouble…”His words were garbled bordering on unintelligible, but clear enough for him. He gritted his teeth and argued, “So? You will save her? How? When we are crippled ourselves...when we can’t keep control of our own powers.” His voice rose with each bitter truth. Kai was not on the same footing. He tried to break the chain, tried to escape, but Dorian resisted and gradually he was getting exhausted from fighting his own wolf.He closed his eyes to will the fatigue and pain away, to push back the thoughts of Summer being in grave danger. “Kyle!” he roared through the mind-link. The beta replied immediately. “Check on Summer,” he managed to say through his clenched teeth. Kai growled like a wounded beast. “We will rescue our mate!” he thundered. “No...she is no

“Dorian…” Jared sighed. He was practically herded out of the apartment after Dorian had managed to open the shackles As the night darkened, Kai had also become subdued. The Alpha King clenched his teeth. It felt humiliating to be standing outside and knocking on someone’s door. He knocked again. “Dorian, just listen to me.” “Not interested,” came the raspy reply. Jared wanted to kick down the damn door and talk some sense into the brat, but he knew the consequences of angering the feral wolf. He huffed and left. There was no use in persuading someone who was so unwilling to cooperate. ~~~ Dorian waited for the Rolls Royce to leave. He let out a shuddering breath. It was difficult to restrain Kai when people made such atrocious requests. He scoffed at Jared’s audacity. How could he ask him to just find someo

When she entered the office, Mr. King had already arrived. She paused at the doorway, her mouth agape. The man whom she had never seen anything but dressed to his nines, looking perfect at all times, now had a haggard look on his face.“Good morning, sir,” she mumbled a greeting and hoped that she was successful in concealing her concern. Her eyes subtly skimmed over his face when he looked at her. Tired eyes blinked back before his gaze returned to the file that he was flipping through. Her gaze then flickered to the already steaming mug of coffee on the table. She felt a pang of disappointment in her chest. Summe bit her lip and trudged towards her cabin. She sneaked another glance before entering her work haven.On the one hand, she was thankful for the lack of queries thrown her way, but on the other hand, she was disappointed by the lack of response from his side altogether. She let out an inaudible sigh and switched on the computer. She cl
The Alpha's Golden-eyed Seer 22| Strange Familiarity
The man stood up abruptly, his eyes not moving from her and she instantly regretted her decision to intrude. However, the strange did not exude any negative vibe and strangely she did not feel threatened by his outright gaping and shocked expression. She clutched on the doorknob tightly and suddenly stumbled when Mr. King abruptly opened the door ajar. His eyebrows were connected in an angry curve. “What is it?” he grumbled. Summer tore her gaze away from the man who was still staring at her, mouth agape, his form absolutely still. “I...I needed my phone,” she replied weakly. Her boss no doubt saw through that lame excuse, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly. He glanced over his shoulder before saying, “Get it and get out.” She was more than relieved to be let off the hook and was about to dash towards her office when the stranger said, “Wait.” Su

Dorian’s face ashened as realisation hit him like an avalanche. At the back of his mind, he had realised what she might be, and maybe even Kai had figured it out, but he had chosen to deny the truth. His father’s body lying in the pool of blood flashed across his mind and he hurriedly blinked as if to dismiss them, as if an image so traumatising and permanent would vanish.“How...how did you know?” he asked, sounding a little dazed.Vulcan’s smile became rueful. “She looks a lot like Ophelia, almost like her if I daresay. I was almost stunned and for a moment I thought that I was looking at her, that she had come back.” His voice sounded distant, and Dorian had to look away. He felt uneasy when the Fae king looked so...vulnerable.“We all know what ha

Dorian narrowed his eyes. This part was tricky. Going by her past trauma, he could now understand even if slightly, the reason behind her being wary towards others, especially men. Her gaze was wide and hopeful as if he held the answers to all her questions. Dorian wanted to curse himself for bringing this predicament on himself. How could he suddenly say that she was not who she thought she was? How could he just disclose that in this world, apart from humans, supernaturals also existed? “Sir?” He was brought out of his train of thoughts by her. She kept looking at him expectantly. He cleared his throat. “Well, what are the things that you experience?” He knew he was buying time like this, but he needed to break the truth to her gently or as logically as possible. It’s not like he has never heard of people, who thought of themselves as humans and later got to know they weren’t, but he was never the
