The Alpha's Temptation 27.
Tessa could not understand what was wrong with her. The last time she felt that way was when she thought she was pregnant for Chris and could not have the appetite to eat.Out of her giddiness and anxiety over the interview, she had searched her box for any corporate dress which she could wear for it. Tessa did not own a single corporate attire that could be fit for the interview. The only dress that seemed corporate and official enough was a gown that was gifted to her by her sister just after she told her of her dream of being a business lady.She could not wear that gown she wondered why she packed it up in the first place; her sister must her gave her that dress to fuel her dream and leave her husband.She had surely left her husband for her, but she certainly could not wear the dress despite the beauty it depicted.Tessa still felt like a newcomer in the town, because of her indoor and introverted nature, so she did not know the way to any boutique in the town.As usual, she sto

*****At exactly 7 pm, Bryce set out in his car dressed in a black hoodie that covered his face and matching joggers with a box of money in the back seat. The lady on the phone had not specified if they needed money, but from his experience, he knew that all she needed was money.He refused to tell his guards his whereabouts, as he raced out of his mansion.The sky was already dark for the time the clock told. Maybe it was because of the heavy downpour that some hours back. Either way, the weather, and atmosphere were not friendly to him.The oak building was not far from where he stayed, and thirty minutes later, he was already at the venue.The person had specified in meeting him at the back of the oaks house.But at the back was a clubhouse, more like a lounge.Why would someone want to meet with him at a club?The blaring music from the club could already reach Bryce's ears even before he arrived there.Cars were not many in the parking lot and he could even count the number of ca

Bryce stared back at Tessa. Unlike Tessa who was trying to lower her head and act like it was normal to get interviewed by a rival to her pack, Bryce maintained his stare without hiding it. She walked over to the table and dropped her document on the desk, exposing the side of her neck which was not covered by her waist-length hair.‘’Come in, and take a seat.’’ Monica, one of the interviewers who had a strict expression on her face and was selected from the disciplinary section of the company said roughly to Tessa after she had greeted them.Bryce knew that the other interviewers could not sense the fear that roamed around Tessa. He seemed to be able to feel her fear and shivers. He wondered if it was because of the interview, or because he was the CEO of the company she had applied for.‘’From your document, we can see that you are 25 years old and you go by the name Tessa Stone.’’ Another female at the right hand of Bryce said while adjusting the bridge of her narrow-looking glas

"Are you married?" Bruce asked again, with much more courage in his tone after remembering that there is nothing suspicious or wrong with his question.Tessa opened her mouth to say a word, then shut them back as though she was scared. A second later, she laid out the bomb."No, I am divorced." Tessa was really shocked at his question, from her research, she knew that the asked question could be asked in most cases, but it was not a popular question and she did not expect it.She tried her best to maintain a normal confused gaze. Since she stepped into the interviewing room, she had forced herself to give a straight face as though she did not know Bruce, although he knew him. She knew all of Chris friends and villains because of the way Chris would always tell her of his plans to eradicate and bless them, and he had liked to talk about the bed deeds of Bryce and how he would slay him and his pack one day.Bryce was now sure that. She was indeed Chris's husband and it was her look ali

After Tessa was in the room with Chris, just as expected he lashed out on her."Why did you leave the room?" Chris asked in a calm tone, lowering his head after he had transformed back to his human form.Tessa felt like she was shaking and he would read her fear, but he was not supposed to be scared, she was the Luna."Why did you leave the room when the Alpha ordered you to stay in it." Chris yelled, finally lifting his head and staring at her, Tessa could see the visible bruise that appeared on the side of his face, it would heal eventually, but the pain from it still ached her heart.It was the first time Chris had referred to himself as the Alpha when being with Tessa, she should have known that he would continue referring to himself as that, long after that event had ended."I could not feel your pain and leave you suffer alone by the way the gathering was meant for peace and not to be a starting point for war." Tessa took her Stan."I hope you saw the evil nature in that man c

Candice walked into Bryce office, after the two interviewers had ended their meeting with him.‘’So!’’ Candice placed her hand on Bryce desk casually.‘’How was your interview with the no experience candidate?’’ She asked.Candice gave a sarcastic chuckle, which was not intended to be loud but eventually came out as so.Bryce lifted his head from his desktop where he was reviewing the replied of the candidates, and glared at Candice.‘’Her interview was 0kay’’ He replied in an indifferent tone and got back to his key pad.‘’I really prayed for it to be a success. Do you know that when I was coming to your office, I spotted her by the corridor, she had that sober look on her face.’’ Candice laughed. She knew that she was overstepping her boundaries, but she equally hated the girl from first sight and gossiping her would be her only revenge mode.‘Okay’’ Bryce repeated the first reply.‘’ can’t you see how low quality she is for our business, do you want her to ruin it for us. I am sure
The Alpha's Temptation 33
"Who are you?" He yelled into the shadows, just when the person was about to come into the light.“I am the one you love the most, I am your greatest nightmare, I am your weakness, I am your strength”.“Speak not in parables and get straight to the point, I am not afraid...”“Ahha!”Bryce screamed at the stinging pain of a came that just landed on his back.“Speak...” He was interrupted by another stinging pain.He tried his best to hold in the scream. He was sure that the cane could not be a normal one, it had to have spikes of silver branches He felt weaker with each stroke.“Do not talk when I talk the female voice said calmly, as though she could not feel the pain from Bryce's screams.“You thought you could end me. I will be back”.The pain on his back, covered up for every previous pain he could ever felt in his life. If it was a normal cane, he probably would not have screamed that much, but the silver strings just had to be his weakness even as an Alpha.He tried moving from t
The Alpha's Temptation 34
Tessa held onto her knee, feeling a hot liquid seeping into her fingers and rolling into her palm. It has been a long time since she last felt such physical pain.As a normal wolf, Tessa expected that the pain she felt from hitting the edge of the bed would be long gone after a short period, but it only seemed to get worse.She limped from the floor and into the bathroom, where she sprinkled some droplet of water on her now bloody wound.She wondered what could be wrong with her body, maybe, just maybe, she was experiencing some pregnancy stuff, but then, she could vividly recall when her friend was pregnant and she had mistakenly fallen from a staircase, it did not take up to a minute for her to get from the floor and behave like nothing ever happened. The pain was long gone. Why the hell was her case different?‘’Ahha!’’ Tessa could no longer hold in the pain.she had heard cases of pregnant ladies finding it hard to heal, but really, she could not experience such, she was a wolf.W
