Forsaken by the Pack, Mated to the Secret Lycan King
For two years, I was Alpha Jase Davenport's loyal assistant and secret bed-warmer. Because I was a wolfless Omega, I trusted his empty promises instead of instincts I didn't possess. Then, a push notification from a notorious gossip blog shattered my world. Jase was pictured in Paris, his hand intimately resting on the waist of my cruel stepsister, Kira. The headline screamed that he was finally claiming his fated Luna. Before I could even process the betrayal, Jase texted me a cold command to update his schedule, treating me like a soulless employee. Immediately after, my mother called to gloat. "Did you honestly believe an Alpha like Jase would settle for a defective creature like you?" She threatened to freeze my late father's Pack trust fund unless I agreed to marry an abusive, elderly Alpha to be his breeding mare. If I refused, I would be cast out as a penniless stray, easy prey for any Rogue. I was nothing but a convenient placeholder to Jase, and a piece of livestock to my own family. They thought they had me completely cornered, ready to steal my inheritance and leave me to die. But as the panic subsided, a cold clarity took its place. My father's will only required a legal mating bond to unlock my millions; it never said my family had to approve of the groom. I wiped my tears, opened my laptop, and searched for a disgraced, debt-ridden Rogue named Babe Vincent. If I needed a husband on paper to secure my freedom, I was going to buy one.Sydney, Australia.
Caldwell Publishing Office.
"Mornin', Serena!"
Serena looked up from her laptop and to greet her colleague back. She curiously frowned when she saw Nicky smiling from ear to ear, and there's something about her that seems a bit... Weird.
"Morning, Nicky. Wait, what's with that smile?" Serena asks, while observing her bestfriend-slash-co-worker.
Nicky averted her blue eyes away from Serena's gaze while acting so strange.
"Tell me... Is there something that I need to know?" Serena did a follow-up question.
Nicky bit her lip, and it was obvious that she is hiding something.
"Well, you see---!" Nicky wasn't able to finish her sentence when they heard a familiar voice behind them.
"I believe we're still in the middle of working hours, and I expect you to focus on your work, Miss Hughman." it was the CEO of Caldwell Publishing, Mrs. Rosie Caldwell.
Nicky's face became red like a steamed crab after they heard their Boss. Serena took the opportunity to cover up for her friend.
"Nicky was just asking for some opinions regarding her article, Boss. I apologize for the inconvenience." she made up an excuse to save her friend.
Serena saw Nicky who's giving her a secret smile, while looking relieved.
"Alright then. You should concentrate on your work. We have lots of things to do today." Boss Caldwell reminded them.
"Yes, Boss." Serena and Nicky said in unison.
Both of them went back to work, but Serena is planning to have a talk with Nicky later on.
She will have a talk with her bestfriend later. It's obvious that Nicky got some juicy news for her, and she wants to know more about it.
After a few moments, Serena suddenly received a call from the CEO's office.
"Hello, Boss?"
"Come to my office as soon as possible, Miss Montana. I need to talk to you about something important." Mrs. Caldwelll said it all in one breath, and Serena knew that it was something serious since her boss called her by her last name.
Their Boss is known for being close to her employees, and she calls them on a first name basis. However, if there's something wrong, their old Boss calls them by their surnames...
"Yes, Boss..." responded, while feeling nervous.
Serena closed her laptop and took out her pen and paper to write down all of their Boss's agenda for that closed meeting.
She's also thinking that maybe she did something wrong on her manuscript and the Boss will just reject it or she will ask for revision... There are many things that is going on her mind while she's making her way towards the CEO's Office.
After a few minutes, she is now standing by the door of the CEO's Office. Serena took a deep, calming breath, then afterwards, she knocked at the door twice.
"Come in." she heard Mrs.Caldwell's voice.
"Well, this is it." Serena whispered to herself.
She opens the door and enters the room.
She saw Mrs. Caldwell looking at her with a serious expression on her face.
"Please take a seat. I want you to calm down and listen to me carefully." the old woman seriously stated.
Serena's heart started beating faster after she heard her Boss' remark. She has this feeling that she's going to be fired. She just feels sad to leave the company because she loves working here, and she treats everyone like a family member...
“Miss Montana?”
Serena's train of thoughts stopped in a halt when she heard Mrs. Caldwell's voice again.
"O-Oh, I'm sorry..." Serena apologized. She took a seat as her legs trembles with extreme nervousness.
"Let's start with the meeting, then. Miss Montana, how long have you been working with us?" Mrs. Caldwell began.
