Thank you for reading. To my very first gem givers... Maria Nicolai and Emily Lakes... thank you so much... I appreciate you ladies a lot, and thank you for motivating me. I hope I don't disappoint with this book. Love you.
Lewis I sat in my office smiling to myself from ear to ear. Recalling how my little human had gotten excited and kissed my cheeks after I told her about her change in department. Her scent still lingered on my face and I want it to be so for the rest of the day. The look of pure happiness on her face showed me that my decision was worth it….even though I won't be able to be close to her during work hours. I was happy I could let her do what she's always wanted. I would always support her dreams… always. My brows furrowed as what happened over the weekend flashed through my mind. The reason I didn't take her to the hospital was because of my suspicions about her… At first… with the intensity of the heat waves she was having, I was almost convinced she was going into heat. After all it was long overdue. A she-wolf usually goes into heat once she meets her mate, marked or not. But I was wrong. That wasn’t the case. But the extreme rise in her temperature was strange and I wondered i
Ariana My heart soared as I walked through the large glass sliding doors leading to the artificial intelligence laboratory. I can't believe this was happening… somebody pinch me because I might be dreaming! All I had wanted ever since I graduated was to get a job and create super-advanced human-like robots. That was my dream. But no matter how much I tried to send out applications or my sketches, I was never called or given a chance. It reached a point where I thought I wasn't good enough and I was starting to give up on that path. I know Lewis must have used his influence to get me in but I'll do my best to prove to him that I was meant to do this. I'll make him proud. Smiling to myself, I entered the huge lab that had several workstations with laptops for deep learning and machine training. I could even see some work-in-progress robots following commands and moving around the lab. "Hi… welcome. You must be Ariana. The new specialist." A cheery voice snapped me back to my sens
Lewis I bit back a growl when the scent of her arousal hit my nose. Ariana was such a tease. A temptress and I loved how her body reacted to my touch. She was definitely made for me. Her back was flush against my chest while my hand caressed her stomach. I buried my head in the crook of her neck and took a whiff. Fuck… her scent was like a drug and I was happily addicted to it. ‘It’s now or never. Mark her and tell her she’s our mate.’ Wesley urged in my mind. He was already salivating from the intense arousal that filled the air. My mate was so turned on but since she didn’t know I could smell her... She didn’t try to prevent her arousal. ‘Not now… we will scare her.’ I told my wolf. Ariana was a simple girl and I don’t think me saying I was a werewolf right now was something she would take lightly. It was not the right time. It took my all to let go of her as my dick was getting harder with her scent swirling around me. I chuckled when she ran away at full speed as if her
Ariana I trudged to my room after a long day at work, wondering what Lewis had put in my room to make him act so mysterious. To my surprise, I found a bouquet of red roses on the bed with a box and a note. My heart began to pound as I approached the bed. Was it a gift? I wondered. I read the note first and I couldn’t stop smiling to myself like a fool. This felt like we were teenagers passing each other secret love letters. I can’t lie it was exciting. [Put this pretty dress on and meet me outside. I can’t wait to see how dazzling you look in it.] The note read and my jaws hurt from smiling too widely. How can such a serious man be so sweet and romantic at the same time? Opening the box, my eyes stung when I saw the red dress and black heels in the box. Oh gosh. I felt so touched. It’s not like I couldn’t manage to buy myself a dress but no one had ever done this for me. My eyes landed on the bouquet and I couldn’t help but pick it up and sniff it. I had no idea what do to wit
Lewis “Sir, the people from the oil company have arrived and are in the conference room.” My new assistant Gerald reported through the intercom and I pinched my eyebrows. These guys from Kim’s holdings have been insistent on collaborating with us on investing in supplying fuel in this City. “Ok… give me a sec. I’ll be there shortly.” I instructed and picked up my phone to send my mate a text. [Hi baby, I know you’re busy but in case you want to see me at lunch, I will be in a meeting with some people from Kim’s holdings. I love you.] I put my phone in my pocket while smiling to myself. A week had passed since she agreed to be my girlfriend and things were going great. Although I haven't told her about my identity yet and I haven’t done anything more than kissing her much to Wesley’s annoyance. All he thinks about is marking his mate but he doesn’t get it that it doesn’t work like that for humans. We have to take things slow. ‘Hmmph… will anything change if you take things slow? We
Ariana I had to go back home alone today because I was told Lewis had already left the company. Strange he didn’t text me but I figured he must have been occupied with something. The past week since we officially became a couple has been amazing. Lewis made me feel loved and wanted. He was honest and always told me what he was up to. Although I had moved to his room, we had never gone past kisses. I don’t know why he wasn’t taking things to the next level but tonight I’m determined to make the first move. Smiling to myself, I entered the pin code and opened the door. Only to find Lewis smiling lovingly at a girl who was lying on his lap, feeding her chips. What the fuck? Alarm bells went off in my head as my heart clenched painfully. Anger surged through me and my blood boiled like a portion brewing in a witch’s pot. I saw red. Lewis looked up at me, his eyes widening and I cursed in my head. Of course you’re shocked.. You didn’t expect me to find you whoring around, did you?
Lewis I left the room, licking my lips as I growled in satisfaction. Ariana was a delicacy… one I will dine on for as long as I live. It was my bad that I had forgotten to text her about picking up my sister but her jealousy seemed to have awakened something in her. Her eyes flashed green like she had a wolf, yet I can’t smell one on her. More so that darkness that swirled around her. It came with full force, suffocating those around it but since Ariana is my mate, it seems I was unaffected by whatever her abilities are. I had my suspicions about what she could be but I needed proper research to be sure. Since my sister and her mate are visiting, I would have to wait till they are gone to discuss my suspicions with Ariana and tell her the truth about supernatural beings. That way, it would be easy to find out about her origins. I walked into the sitting room and found Jack setting the table in the dining area while Tricia was relaxing on the couch as if she was a queen. I blame
Ariana "So where exactly is home?" I asked Lewis as we drove to work. His sister and her boyfriend had left to go home but they hadn't mentioned a place so I was curious. "It's farther from here… about a 9-10 hours drive. I'll take you there soon. Then you can meet the rest of my family." I heard him say. One of his hands was entwined with mine, resting on my lap, while he steered the car with the other. "Ok.. but what's the place called?" I probed. "Um… it's… um… in the woods. We live very far from town and that's where you will be living too, with me." I furrowed my brows, They lived in the woods? Were they farmers or they wanted privacy? And what did he mean by I'll be living there too? "Why would we live with your parents? Isn't the town fine? I don't think I can manage to live in the woods." I blurted out my thoughts and I saw his jaw tick. Did he really think I would leave my home? "Ariana… let's not be quick to make decisions. We can talk about it later." Lewis said
