Last night, after the conversation with Preston, he carried me back to my room before leaving and I really had a lot to think about before I slept.The next day after breakfast, I decided to wait for Kayden at the parking lot to take me to work.I was grateful that he was always consistent in taking me to work every morning although he always had a busy schedule.“Amber” I turned to see Shawn walking towards me.“We will be going to work together, from now on” he got to me, holding his keys to his motorcycle.“What about Kayden,” I asked, “He is busy with work” Shawn took my hand leading me to his motorcycle, but suddenly my hand was yanked from Shawn’s, I looked up to see a not too happy Kayden.“She is going with me” He was behaving like an overprotective boyfriend.“I heard Kai assigned you to a mission this morning”“He did, but I need to take Amber to work first”“I can help you with that”“It’s not like I complained” Kayden was leading me to his car“I work at the same diner as

I got home to an empty house and the hope I had diminished.Walking to Kai’s study, I hoped he would let me clarify what had happened.I entered his office, this wasn't the first time I had seen his office, but it was the first I was looking at closely, now that I was the only one there.The study was big and spacious with a couch on each side of the room, and in the middle of the room were Kai’s desk and chair, beside his chair, and at the side of the office were shelves filled with books.I walked to the shelf behind his chair, since I was going to wait for him, I might as well keep myself busy by reading a book.I was looking through the books on the shelves when a book caught my attention from the corner of my eye.Sitting at the table was a really old looking book.I picked it up and read the title.“Curses” I read out loud, wondering what a book for witches was doing in Kai’s room.I opened the book to where it was bookmarked and saw a familiar curse. It was the mateless curse t

I used my hands to cover my chest, giving him a wary look.“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you, you are not even my type anyways” he was trying to mock me.“And neither are you,” I retorted.“Then come over here” he tapped the space beside him on the bed.“That’s not what we agreed on” “The contract said we were going to sleep together” Hearing him saying it like that, anyone could misunderstand him.“I only agreed to stay in the same room with you”“Sleeping together and staying together in a room are two different wildcat things” he stated “You’ve already signed the contract” he reminded me gesturing to the empty space beside him.I knew I was going to regret this, I sighed deeply, finding my resolve, I held tightly onto the pocket knife, not that it could help if Kai wanted to harm me, but at least it gave a sign of not being helpless.I strutted to the bed, trying not to gaze at the shirtless Alpha before me, I lay at the corner of the bed and stealthily placed the pocket kn

I fiddled with the hem of the shirt while trying to avoid their gaze, hell I didn’t even know where to start or how to explain to them what had happened last night.Preston suddenly stood up “If she doesn’t want to talk about it, we shouldn’t pressure her” he broke the silence, I was slightly relieved, but I knew I still had to tell them about the deal I made with Kai.“Preston is right, I am sure all this interrogation will make her lose her appetite” Kayden agreed with Preston.“Come on now, don’t be a killjoy, she was just about to tell us” Marcus Whined.“Read the room” Matteo whispered to Marcus, who stood up and dragged the reluctant Marcus out of the dining room.Preston took the file that he was reading and left the room, leaving his half filled cup of coffee. Right now Kayden and I were the only ones in the dining room.“If you are not eating, I am going to feed you,” Kayden said, sliding me away from my thoughts.“Aren’t you going to leave with them?” I asked him, seeing tha
