I sense that we are destined to be together, yet he denies it. I leave the city, hurt, and discover I am expecting his child. Noah is my only child, and I keep him secure by myself. Ethan appears years later with secrets in his eyes. In addition to being a boss, he is a werewolf, and I am his mate. We are followed by danger, like evil wolves are after Noah.

However, there is now a larger mystery lurking in the background, ready to alter everything.

REJECTED BUT CHOSEN Chapter 1 A NEW JOB

**Lila Carter's Point of View**

My pulse pounded as I entered the large, gleaming structure. I started working at Blackwood Enterprises today. I was both anxious and thrilled about my new position as a picture drawer. I clutched my sketchbook and donned my favorite blue outfit. The lobby was crowded with suit-wearing folks and had large windows. Like a mouse in a huge home, I felt little.

The woman behind the desk grinned. "Lila Carter? Seek out the eleventh floor. Blackwood, Mr., is waiting.

With a nod, I entered the elevator. My stomach turned over as it shot upward. I saw a guy standing at a large desk as the doors opened. He was tall, with emerald eyes that stared directly at me, and black hair. Like when I view a beautiful sunset, my heart makes a weird bounce.

With a rich voice, he introduced himself as Ethan Blackwood. "You're the new performer?"

"Yes," I answered quietly, "sir." He only glanced at my hand as I extended it. He didn't grin, but his gaze warmed me.

He pointed to a chair and said, "Show me your drawings."

I opened my sketchbook and took a seat. I showed him my photos of cities and flowers, and my hands trembled a bit. Leaning closer, Ethan examined every page. For a moment, I thought I saw him grin, but then his expression returned to its seriousness.

"Well done," he remarked. "Today is your first day. Come with me.

I rushed to keep up with his rapid pace. We entered a room filled with tables piled high with documents and large screens. People were conversing and painting. Ethan gestured towards a desk. "You own this. By tomorrow, create a poster for our new phone.

I nodded as my stomach twisted. By tomorrow, a poster? I wanted to give it my all. Ethan gave me another glance, his green eyes keen as if he could see right through me. I felt my cheeks heat up and glanced down.

The day flew by. In an attempt to create the ideal poster, I sketched and erased. I neglected to bring lunch, and my pencils made scratches on the paper. I often saw Ethan strolling past and chatting with folks when I glanced up. He once paused to examine my artwork. My pulse pounded once again as his gaze lingered on me for an extended period of time.

I was delighted yet exhausted at the end of the day. I had finished my poster. After packing my things, I made my way to the elevator. There stood Ethan, by himself. It was only the two of us when the doors closed.

He remarked, "Good first day," without glancing at me.

"Thank you," I muttered. My voice became trapped as I tried to speak more. The elevator seems cramped, and I felt lightheaded from his soapy, tree-like scent. His eyes locked with mine as I looked at him. I briefly sensed something significant, like a hidden spark between us.

The doors opened and the elevator dinged. Ethan turned to face me as he went outside. His voice was icy as he urged, "Don't be late tomorrow." After that, he left me standing there with a sorrowful heart. Why did he behave so cruelly after giving me that look?

With my head whirling, I ventured out into the chilly night. There was something about Ethan that made me feel both significant and unwanted. I saw a shadow moving quickly across the street as I boarded the bus. Despite having a large appearance, it had emerald eyes that resembled Ethan's. I gasped and looked, but my breath was gone.

The Pierre Hotel smelled of old money and stale ambition, but all I could taste was the copper of my own rage. I stood in the back of the ballroom, a "mute" shadow in a silk dress, watching my sister Brande play the grieving saint on stage. She wiped away a fake tear, telling the crowd I was too "unstable" to attend my own engagement party. In reality, I was watching her share a secret, intimate squeeze with my fiancĂ©, Chase Sterling, right under the blinding spotlight. When I finally hit "execute" and projected the video of them together in a hotel suite for the entire elite crowd to see, the room went cold. But the nightmare was just beginning. Instead of apologizing, my father crushed his scotch glass and told me to fix the mess. He demanded I issue a public statement claiming I had a mental breakdown and "hallucinated" the whole thing. "If you don't corroborate the Deepfake story, I'll have you committed to a facility with barred windows," he hissed. Brande just smirked from the corner, mocking me for being a "mute waste of space" who didn't even realize my own trust fund had paid for the diamonds around her neck. I realized then that in this family, silence wasn't a disability—it was a target. They thought because I didn't speak, I didn't have a voice. They thought they could use my silence to bury the truth and save their precious stock prices. They were wrong. I didn't just leak a video; I had the keys to every secret they ever tried to hide. I walked out of that hotel and straight into the black sedan of Julian Curtis, my father’s most ruthless rival and the only man who knew what really happened the night of the blizzard in Aspen. I handed him the encrypted files that would trigger a hostile takeover of my family’s empire. As the city blurred past, I looked at the man who held my future in his hands and typed one final message on my phone. "I'm not here to be saved. I'm here to be the knife."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
4.5

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
