Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)Flashback...Second day of work and I already feel like quitting. After all of the hardships I went through yesterday, I do not think I had the frame of mind to go through that again. I felt depressed and anxious about today. I woke up at five this morning, it is now seven o’clock and I am still in bed. It was so tempting to just lay in bed and lock off the world, but I knew that if I succumbed to my depression, there is no getting out of it within three working days. Maybe I could just quit. There are other jobs out there for me, with more professional people. I did not have to stay in this job, but it was a good one and I had so many advantages. Of course, those advantages do not come without sacrifice. That sacrifice being that I have to work with Dimitri, the man-whore and self-obsessed man child.“Isla honey, you are going to be late for work.”  I heard my mother shout through the door, and I sighed heavily. Despite m

Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.) I arrived at the firm about thirty minutes early and was immediately escorted to the conference room. I had stopped to get lunch before I made my way here so as I entered the room and realized it was empty, I decided to have my lunch. Although I was early, I expected the chief executive officer to be here or someone of the sort to keep my company while I waited for the meeting to start, but no. The room was completely empty with the exception for a projector, a screen, a table which was surround by chairs. The room was rather cold, and I could tell it was soundproof because the difference between the noise outside and the noise that could be heard from inside the room, once the door was closed, made a huge difference. I sighed and took a seat to have my lunch. As I finished my lunch, I got up from my chair to walk outside to locate a bin. As I exited the room and took a few steps toward the numerous cubicles that stood before me, I was

Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.) I watched as Isla confidently explained the case and end with her own conclusion. To be honest, I was really impressed by what she did. Considering she has no experience in law, doing what she did in a room full of lawyers took a lot of bravery. I was very out of it today. Whilst in the conference meeting, I had so much going through my mind that I could not concentrate. I could not think, and I found it difficult to focus on the case at hand, so much so that I did not know what to say when my opinion was asked of me. When Isla chimed in with her thoughts and ideas, I felt stupid. Here there is a person with absolutely no experience in law, outshining the chief executive officer of a law firm. I know everyone realized this, because during her fantastic presentation, Johnathon nudged me in approval as to say that she was amazing. I know she was, but of course I could not tell her that. I had to keep her in her place and let her know that she

Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.) It was risky going out tonight with a known threat roaming the woods, but I really wanted to take Isla out to apologize for my past behavior. I would really like to turn over a new leaf with her and change the way she sees me. Although I still held my intentions to romantically be with her, this time I would not rush things and instead, I would let things flow and go at her pace. I shifted in my seat and automatically placed my hand on the gun I had stuck on my waistband. It was for emergencies. I had a feeling her very persistent mate would try something tonight and I am not going to be taken by surprise, especially with Isla in my care. Her parents would hate me if anything were to happen to her and pissed off fairies are not a good thing, because where there is good, there is also evil. Fairies have the ability to turn dark which harnesses necromancy as their main source of power. This can bring about a lot of destruction and chaos. When this oc

Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)I was awoken by the mention of rogue. I have not come across much female rogues. Whenever they are passing through my territory, they always ask for permission to join the pack or get their throats ripped open. Daring the bravery of such a wolf, I immediately demanded that she be escorted to my office. Surely, she can smell a building full of wolves when she enters one. How stupid must she be. After five minutes of waiting, my felt butterflies in my stomach and a very happy wolf pacing through my thoughts. I raised my eyebrows and chuckled in discomfort. What the actual fuck man?  I said to my wolf. I can feel our mate nearby. Before I can assess the situation, I smelt a welcoming scent. It smelled like vanilla, chocolate with a hint of cinnamon and freshly baked cookies. It was mouthwatering. I felt safe and loved just having that scent in the air.  I got off my chair and stood up, staring out of my
