"A surprise awaits you" Bellona pondered on what Nimue had previously told her. 'What kind of surprise is that?' she questioned herself.
"Sooner or later, you'll come to know" She vividly remembered Nimue's words when she asked her to explain her words further.
Now she was worried. Had Nimue snitched on her to Zephyr to obtain favour?
'No, Nimue wasn't that kind of person' she convinced herself. Nimue also wanted to exert revenge on him for separating her from her loved one. She wondered who the person was.
Bellona just had to forget about what Nimue said and put her mind back to the task at hand. She hoped Zephyr wouldn't detect that she was a rogue.
Werewolves, mostly Alpha's, had a strong sense of smell making them able to detect rogues because of the distinct scent the rogues had. She wondered if the potion Nimue gave her had done it's job, but seeing that nobody was looking weirdly at her, she relaxed. It must have worked, if not, some werewolf would have pounced on her and tore her flesh the moment they notice a rogue was in their midst. They didn't want to have anything to do with the rogues.
She also didn't want to have anything to do with them. They disgusted her so the feeling was mutual.
************
Few hours back*
"Don't you think he's going to blow my cover as soon as I step into his office?" Bellona asked.
"How so?" Nimue said.
"We rogues have a particular scent and werewolves can easily detect it" Bellona patiently explained, "what if he perceives my scent?"
Hearing her words, Nimue sat in silence for a while before bringing out a small bottle from a cupboard and handed it over to Bellona.
"What is this?" Bellona asked
"It's a scent inhibitor" Nimue answered "it'll mask your scent so he won't be able to figure out your true identity"
Bellona was in awe. This witch had a lot of potions.
"Make sure you apply it daily" Nimue warned, "the day you'll forget to apply it, it's the day you'll get discovered."
"You need not to worry" Bellona beamed confidently "I won't make such childish mistake"
***************
*Back to present*
In the office where the interview was taking place, sat Zephyr with a stoic expression accompanied with Lucian. Under normal circumstances, Zephyr wouldn't have been carrying out the interview himself but he had to do it. He didn't want to regret his decision of sending Lucian to the account department therefore he decided to pick a worthy secretary with his own hands but so far, he wasn't impressed with what he was seeing.
"Next person" Lucian said through the intercom. Not long after, a young lady walked in.
"Have a sit" Zephyr sat quietly while Lucian did the talking.
The young lady sat down with a slutry smile on her face which both Lucian and Zephyr noticed but chose to ignore.
"What is your name?'' Asked Lucian.
"I'm Olivia" the girl smiled widely, it made Lucian cringe.
"I'll go straight to the point" Lucian announced "why did you choose this company?"
"Because of your boss, the Alpha" She articulated.
"Huh?" Lucian choked. It must be that he didn't hear her properly.
"I came here because I'm in love with Zephyr and I want to seduce him" She repeated but this time clearly and more explanatory.
Lucian was in awe of her boldness and turned to look at Zephyr to see his reaction but the man sat emotionless as though the discussion wasn't about him.
"And you are?" Zephyr finally spoke up.
"I'm Olivia, Alpha Noah's daughter" She beamed confidently.
Alpha Noah was a powerful and well known alpha but he couldn't hold a candle to Zephyr.
"Will you please excuse us?" She turned to Lucian, her tone carrying a hint of disgust.
Lucian looked at Zephyr but when he didn't get any reaction from him, he stood up and left the office.
After Lucian's departure, Olivia rose from her seat and slowly walked towards Zephyr. All these while, Zephyr sat in silence, anticipating what her next move would be.
When Olivia got to his seat, she gently placed her hands on his shoulder but didn't get any reaction from him.
'Atleast he didn't shun her' she smiled positively to herself.
"My father says you'll make a good mate to me given that we're both currently mateless." She continued her ministration on his shoulder but Zephyr continued to ignore her.
The word mate made Zephyr's wolf, Fenrir growl in displeasure. He was silent most of the time but given that he responded, it meant that he was truly displeased.
"Why do you think so?" Zephyr asked, wanting to know what more foolish things she could think of.
"Well" Olivia giggled shyly and placed her arms on his chest "we look good together"
Immediately Zephyr felt her arms on his chest, he quickly grabbed it with a great force and flung it away like it was some sort of measly object.
Olivia gasped. What went wrong? Why did he change all of a sudden? Yes, he wasn't giving her any reaction but he didn't express any form of displeasure so why the change?
"Leave!" Zephyr said with a calm voice.
"But-"
"I said get out!" He hollered, bringing whatever she was about to say to an abrupt end.
Olivia slowly picked up her bags and looked at Zephyr coquettishly in an attempt to change his mind but Zephyr was not having any of it. He picked up his phone and called Lucian who answered immediately.
"Come to my office with the security. Now!" He didn't wait for Lucian's response and ended the call.
"Please Zephyr-"
"It's Alpha Zephyr to you" Zephyr corrected with a glare.
"Alpha Zephyr I'm very sorry, I won't repeat it. Please give me another chance" Olivia begged profusely.
In the next minute, Lucian walked into the room along side the security Zephyr requested for.
"You called." Lucian spoke.
"Take the girl out of my office and I don't want to ever see her near this premises. Do you understand?" Zephyr said, trying hard to control his anger.
"Yes, boss" the security guard responded and quickly turned to Olivia "miss, please leave."
"No" She blurted
"Please leave while I'm being nice" The guard tried to reason with her but she didn't bulge. Having no other option, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and walked out of the office while she screamed and struggled.
"You'll hear from my daddy!'' was the last word they heard.
"What happened?" Lucian asked wanting to know the full details.
"She tried to seduce me." Zephyr simply said. Obviously Lucian already knew that, he just wanted the full story but it seemed like Zephyr wasn't ready for a story time.
"Who's she? She seems to have some guts" Lucian tried to pry
"She's Alpha Noah's daughter."
"That greedy man" Lucian said with disgust.
Alpha Noah was known for his greediness. He was hungry for more and more wealth and power.
"Why was she going on and on about you being her mate?" Lucian asked further.
"Were you eavesdropping?'' Zephyr glared at him
"I can't help it, I'm a werewolf," Lucian chuckled. "She seems like a spoilt brat" he added.
"She is," Zephyr concurred.
"I'm surprised you entertained her for that long" Lucian confessed. Typical Zephyr would have kicked her out the second she started displaying such nuisance.
"I was bored" Zephyr responded truthfully. He knew she would act funny and he wanted to entertain himself but he regretted it deeply.
"It seems like her father told her to seduce me. He wants to take over my pack through her." Zephyr answered Lucian previous question. He already knew what Alpha Noah and his spoilt daughter had in mind.
"It's about time we teach that man a lesson" Lucian commented. The man was really overstepping his boundaries. The other time, he sent spies into their lands and they were caught. The man was persistent and wouldn't give up unless he was taught a lesson.
Zephyr stood up in an attempt to leave the office but Lucian stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"Out" Zephyr said and Lucian rolled his eyes.
"You can't go out, there's one more candidate for the interview" Lucian informed him.
"Handle it yourself" Zephyr uttered.
"I'm not the one searching for a secretary, you are. I'm not also the one who took his perfect secretary to the finance department, you are. So you have to sit her and listen to the person that'll walk through this door" Lucian retorted.
At times like this, Zephyr wondered if he was the Alpha or Lucian. Lucian was right though.
Zephyr groaned in defeat. If he was going to employ a new secretary, he would interview the candidate himself.
"Bring them in" Zephyr finally agreed.
Whoever was behind that door, he was just gonna face him and get over with it. He doubted that person would even have the ability of being his secretary but he had to fulfill all righteousness and go ahead with the interview.
Bellona on her part was contemplating whether or not to go home. She had sat here for close to three hours and still left unattended to. Although when she came here, she discovered that she was the last person but she was determined to wait because she came with a motive but now she was already starting to regret it. Maybe he had found the secretary he was looking for. ' What a waste of time and resources' she muttered angrily to herself.She finally decided to go home and think of another way to exert her revenge.Bellona rose from her seat and walked to the door but the voice of a man calling on her made her stop on her track."Miss!" The young man repeated and Bellona looked around to confirm if she was the one the young man was speaking to. Seeing that there was no one except the two of them, she smiled politely and replied, "how may I help you?""Aren't you here for the interview?" The man asked. Bellona studied him carefully for a while. He had black hair and a pair of glasses
Olivia stumped her foots as she walked about her Father's office with pouted lips. She was obviously displeased. "You're gonna have to use your words, darling," Alpha Noah focused his attention on his little princess. "Dad, he embarrassed me" She cried. "Who embarrassed you?" Alpha Elijah questioned in shock. Who had the guts to embarrass his baby? "Zephyr," She divulged. "What happened?" Alpha Elijah calmly asked. "He flung my arms away when I tried to touch him and called a filthy guard to throw me out of his office" she cried out. "What did you do?" Her father asked. He knew Zephyr was a calm man so his daughter must have done something because most at times, she acted without thinking. "I didn't do anything" She whined. "I did exactly as you said and only tried to make him like me" "It's okay, sweetie. Calm down" He tried to cajole her. "No, daddy I won't. I want him" She cried but this time, more louder. "Your wish is my command, dear. Now will you calm down?" "You sur
In a blink of an eye, Monday had arrived. The day Bellona was to officially resume as Zephyr's secretary.That morning she had woken up earlier than usual. Perhaps it was from excitement that she was slowly but surely coming close to achieving her goals or from nervousness as this was her first official job, she couldn't tell. Either way, she felt anxious.She quickly did her morning routine and got ready for work. She wore a simple coperate gown. The gown was on the formal side but given the type of body she had, she managed to make the dress look sexy. She didn't take a while to get ready since it was her first day, she didn't want to be late.She took a cab because she didn't want to take her car. Besides, how would she take her car? Was she not supposed to be pretending to be an average girl who just recently got employed? So arriving with a car wouldn't be in line with her act.When she got to the company, it was still quite early and the CEO had not yet arrived so she decided t
The next day, Bellona carefully selected her outfit. She wore a short black skirt that stopped right on her thigh which outlined her curves perfectly and a white shirt that showed off her cleavages.Bellona's long brown hair and her gorgeous hazel eyes complement her fierce but seductive look. She looked like the goddess of beauty, literally.She didn't want to be extra so she went with this. If it were not in the office, she would have dressed in a more seductive outfit but she wanted to keep it official.Maybe with this, she could seduce Zephyr and when they get in the mood, she'll kill him.Bellona left her house but didn't forget to spray a little bit of the portion Nimue gave her. She wouldn't want to risk it because Zephyr would be quick to get her scent without the help of the portion.She arrived at the company quite early but this time she waited outside to greet Zephyr.As usual, Zephyr arrived by nine. When he alighted the vehicle, he eyes subconsciously went to her and lin
The moment Bellona stepped in the room, Lancelot, all but wolf whistled at her!"Astonishing" Lance loudly exclaimed and even stood from his seat. He didn't care that Zephyr was present in the room."Hello, beautiful" He immediately leaned forward and took Bellona's hands casually, raising it and placing a kiss on the back of her hands.After that, the man didn't let go of her hands immediately, rather he held it in place and gently caressed it.Bellona was disgusted beyond words. She wanted to fling his hands away from hers the moment he touched her but she refrained from doing so. Only God knew how much it took her not to break his hands the instant he touched her.She then slowly removed her hands from his grasp, displeasure clearly written on her face.She looked over to Zephyr hoping that he would at least caution his visitor to refrain from touching her but the man seemed like he didn't care.Noticing her discomfort, Lancelot quickly apologized. "Forgive me. I was flustered by
Bellona was furious beyond words. Apart from being furious, another emotion she felt was confusion. She was confused as to why Zephyr had treated her like a thief.He was the one who asked her to organize the shelf so why then did he behave like she acted on her on will.The way he reacted when she touched that book was very strange. Unless he was hiding something in that book or behind that shelf.She had seen many movies were a book in a book shelf was the key to a secret passage way. Could it be the same with the one in Zephyr's office?If Bellona had ever thought of pardoning Zephyr for murdering her parents, this event fueled her anger and drive for revenge.Bellona moved all those thoughts to the back of her mind. She needed to think of a way to get close to Zephyr because all the attempts she had tried didn't seem to be working out. She needed to go see Nimue. Maybe the woman would have a thing or two to say.Bellona quickly finished her worked and clocked out for the day. She
The next day, Bellona got to work early, she waited to greet Zephyr and after that, she took the employee's elevator and then made coffee for him.All these while, she didn't spare him a single glance nor did she try to appear jovial with him. She just kept a straight face through out. When he was done with the coffee, she simply took the cup back and then went to her office.Zephyr must have noticed because for some reason, he felt guilty. He regretted the way he treated her the previous day and he felt like apologizing for his behavior. Even though he felt remorseful, he wanted to keep his pride so he made use of the telephone to call her to his office.************After Bellona had received the call from Zephyr to come to his office, her straight face formed a frown. It was already bad that she had to put up with him and see him daily, now he was calling her to his office. Just what does he wants now? To anger her further?Still, she rose from her seat and walked to his office.
"hmm" She hummed, not in the mood to talk.The drive to the office was quiet. While Lancelot wondered what caused her change of mood, Bellona on her own kept thinking of what she saw.It was brief but she was able to recognize two children playing with each other, a boy and a girl. Though she couldn't see the little boy's face properly, she was able to recognize the girl.Who wouldn't be able to recognize themselves? The little girl was her."I'll get married to you" The boy said."I'll wait for you" The girl replied with a smile.Bellona was confused, she couldn't remember any event like this happening. Besides, she didn't have any childhood friend. She spent her childhood under Nimue's care.Nimue was very strict. She didn't permit her to socialize with the other children so she didn't know where this memory was coming from.She needed to tell Nimue about this.Soon, they reached Zephyr's company and Bellona alighted almost immediately."Let me walk you up" Lance came down from his
