Chapter 56: Chapter 56

I felt weird after saying that, not that I was wrong no it was for the best.

Out of respect for my alpha who would definitely become my husband for the rest of my life... And also to avoid having any disagreement with my lycanthrope side, I had to keep quiet about my feelings for Greg. It's true it wasn't going to be easy and being close to him always will make it even more difficult but I have little choice.

It's not like the love story between my parents where my mother rejected her alpha to be with my father, although it was ultimately blessed by the moon goddess.

In my case, it's a bit complicated.

First of all, I can't reject him since I've already met and kissed him, and above all confessed to him. I'm really in love with my alpha and I just can't give up on him like that.

Second, I just can't bond with Greg still not knowing if he's a normal human or a lycanthrope. And even if it's the last option, I don't think it would be presentable for me to be with these two lycanthropes who could be from the same pack if I believe their proximity to Elsa.

Thinking about it again my heart writhed in pain. Are they really Soul Moons? If so what should I do when my ultimate goal is to destroy their Alpha and by extension their pack so that they can no longer harm people around them?

I hugged my clothes tight before looking up at Greg, dreading his reaction. What if he was sad? My throat tightens just to imagine that I could have hurt him with my words even if that is the thing to do.

But what I found stunned me, I couldn't believe my eyes, Greg was smiling, and he seemed delighted. I did not understand this reaction.

I frowned questioningly before seeing him turn and go to his desk.

" Oh, are you engaged? It's recent?"

He sat on his desk crossing his arms over his chest and he still smiled. I blushed a little embarrassed by the intensity of his gaze before lowering my eyes.

" Yes... I'm engaged and it's quite recent... I..."

I wanted to add that I was really happy with this union implying that I love my fiancé, but that would sound wrong I guess. I just responded to his fiery kiss a few minutes ago not to mention the fact that I react like a kid to his every move. I am literally at his mercy.

I gulped when I heard his answer, which was far too long in coming for my taste. So I looked up at him and found him in a good mood. His face was slightly red with an indecipherable expression, what did this enigmatic smile mean?

" So my congratulations Sophia. You are prettier when you are in love. It has always been the case even two years ago..."

He sighed before continuing.

" You shine when you are in love and it makes me happy to be able to contemplate you like this."

My heart skipped a beat before biting hard on my lip. He has no right to do this to me, he's not stupid, he's still an intuitive man otherwise he wouldn't have become this business tycoon, he knows how to gauge the feelings of the people around him so how can't he admit that I'm yearning for him. But even so, he continues to torture me like this? What should I do to make him stop this? But do I at least want it?

I turned around, deciding not to let myself be fooled by his gestures and to concentrate on what I came here to do... That is to say, to work.

I don't understand Elsa, it's true she doesn't know our story and I don't think she suspects it despite the scene she overheard earlier.

But that's not the problem, she is president of a company under the Travis entertainment group, she could have made me work alongside her, but why send me to the Big Boss? What was this story? Was it another ruse by Greg to get closer to me? Elsa is after all his employee, so she wouldn't have had a choice, would she?

My head was hurting so much thinking about all this stuff so I decided not to try to figure out the meaning of it all anymore. The headache that would be throbbing in my head was horrible as I leaned both hands on my desk. My breathing was deep and labored and my mouth was pasty. I felt a little feverish and also excited.

Behind me, Greg was watching my every move with a stoic face.

When Sophia pushed him away earlier telling him he had to stop approaching her because she was engaged, he was very happy. He knows how much Sophia loved him and certainly continues to do so, but she prefers to silence these feelings for the well-being of her alpha.

So him.

She prioritizes her relationship with her alpha even though she doesn't know what he looks like rather than theirs, despite the fact that he hasn't stopped teasing her since they saw each other this morning.

The excitement and uplifting euphoria of this realization caused a pheromone show that he couldn't control or stop as he could see Sophia reacting to his pheromones.

He saw her wiggling like a worm and moved forward sensing that she too was emitting pheromones in response to his.

Damn, it smelled so good, it was intoxicating.

He moved forward putting his hand on his pelvis.

" I need us to be one... I can't take it anymore."
