Flirting With My Fated Alpha

Temperament and Temptation

“Ahem.” I cleared my throat before I looked away from the couple who’s shamelessly eating each other’s faces.

I met curious eyes, as expected, from the female population on the floor. Some even covered their mouths, their eyes wide open as if not believing what they’re seeing while others smirked at me. I could tell they’re happy to see someone claim him.

The male employees on the other hand are drooling over Aurora who’s wearing a tight-fitting flame-red dress that looks like her second skin.

Ugh! Typical men.

“E-excuse me, Sir. But the employees are watching.” I said still averting my gaze from them. But they didn’t seem to hear me.

Shit! There’s still that familiar pain on my chest seeing them go PDA.

Why aren’t you used to it? You’ve seen them banging each other in broad daylight so why get affected with some smooching? A part of me scolded myself.

It’s normal for werewolves to publicly display their affection actually. its part of them being territorial and possessive. As long as they’re not humping at each other in front of everyone no one would pay them any mind.

But that’s it. We are not in the pack’s territory! Were in the office with around fifty people working, now watching these two like some kind of soft porn.

“Oh… she must be the girlfriend!” I heard Jeannette exclaimed from the corner cubicle. She’s always been loud so, inside the dead silent floor, everyone heard her loud and clear.

Or not? Goddess! In my horror, Sean pulled Aurora closer to his body, grinding his lower part to her. And she ducking moaned in delight!

Damn you two! I grind my teeth unconsciously.

“Sean!” Everyone gasped upon hearing the way I shout out his name. Even Sean himself stopped sucking Aurora’s plump lips. He looked at me and raise his brow, obviously annoyed.

Oh hell…

I cleared my throat before I speak, willing myself to act as natural as possible. “Boss, I think Ms. Aurora is tired from her travel. It would be best to have her rest inside your office while I prepare some refreshments wouldn’t it?” I gave them my sincerest smile, the one that I have practiced and perfected for so long.

“Wait, I remember you.” Aurora squinted her eyes as if trying to recall who I am.

“Hmmm… Freya?” She guessed, but I know she remembers me. I can see it in her blue eyes.

“Felicity. It’s nice to see you well, Aurora.” I greeted and bowed knowing full well that she’s just messing with me. Really, how can she forget me when I was her favorite toy back then?

“Oh, right! You’re the girl who…” for a moment I thought she’s going to spill my secret.

“Aurora let's go inside.” Thankfully, he cut her off and guided her to the door. I sighed in relief. It’s already bad they she’s here, but to announce to everyone the stupid things I did for Sean before would be the death of me for sure.

“Ms. Felicity, please order a delicious lunch for us. You know what she likes.” He said coldly as if still annoyed with my interruption to their pre-lovemaking live show.

“Of course.” I turned around as soon as he enters his office.

I went straight to my cubicle and pick up the phone when I noticed my hands shaking. I didn’t even notice I was clutching my hands in a tight fist if not for the red marks my nails left on my palm.

After inhaling deeply, I release my breath slowly to calm my nerves. I try to focus on what Sean asked me to do and after I dialed and ordered seafood for Aurora and medium-rare steak for Faust, I went to the pantry to prepare some fresh juice. Sean doesn’t like the artificial ready-made ones, so since the day I became his secretary, I made sure I always have fresh fruits stocked on the fridge. These are my stocks actually, he is in his personal mini-fridge, but there’s no way in hell will I go inside and stay to make one for him not when Aurora is in there.

I shook my head when the image of them having s*x inside his office crossed my mind.

Unconsciously, I bit my lips and reminded myself that I shouldn’t be affected.

You’re here to work Felicity. They are not you’re business. Sean is nothing but your boss.

I ran a quick scan of what’s left in my stock and thanked the heavens that I still have three apples left. He doesn’t drink anything other than fresh apple juice.

I picked it up together with a few strawberries and get them ready. I haven’t had lunch myself yet, but I’ve already lost my appetite.

Is that why he called for me and even fetched me from the restroom?

If I had known she’d be coming over, I should’ve gone out of the building the moment the clock strikes twelve. Or maybe I could’ve called in sick.

Ugh! You know you can’t do that because Sean needs you.

Frustrated, I slumped the strawberries inside the blender.

“Well, well! Looks like Ms. Prim and proper Fifi is just a side chick after all!” I heard Lillian whispered from my back. I glimpse at her and she’s leaning in the fridge’s door while drinking an OJ straight from the pack. She raised her one line eyebrow and wore that insulting smirk on her blood-red colored lips when she met my gaze.

“What side chick?! I told you, there’s no way Boss Sean would even look at her as a woman. It’s true she’s smart and all but looking at Ms. Blondie there, who would even give Fifi a glimpse? If I know, she’s the only one insisting herself to him.” Her friend Rosie answered back as she leaned on the counter picking up an apple for Sean.

My eyes went huge when she but on it without even asking. “W-Wait…” oh f**k.

“Yeah, there’s no way the boss will ever waste a chick as hot as that! I think I’m crushing on a girl!” Lillian giggled.

“Oh! I wish I’m the one kissing Boss Sean!”

The two sighed and blushed as if they’re daydreaming.

“I was thinking about what’s taking you so long.” Sean’s cold voice came out of nowhere and the girls jumped in shock.

“S-sir!” They said in the chorus. They looked like they’ve seen a ghost, and I could understand very well the feeling myself.

“Get out of here.” His voice was lower and deadly.

“Y-Yes, Sir!” Rosie went ahead but Sean stopped her.

“What’s that you’re holding?”

“Mhmm… a-n Apple, S-Sir?” Rosie answered nervously.

“Leave it there and leave now!” They startled and visibly trembled with Sean’s order.

“We’re going back to our table, Sir.” Lillian had the courage to say.

“Who said you will?”

“Ah…”

“I told you two to get out of here. Out of my building. You’re fired!” Sean’s voice echoed inside the pantry making the few employees run out of the room in record time.

“S-sir!” Lillian exclaimed despite Rosie’s warning look. Her eyes are already pooling with tears.

“Boss Sean, s-sorry, it’s my fault. I should have told them the apples are yours. I’ll just go and get your stock from the office and prepare your juice right away.” I hurriedly stepped forward but he stopped me by the arm.

“Who told you to do that?”

“I-I… I need to prepare your refreshment sir. Ms. Aurora must be thirsty. It won’t take long.”

“She already left. Don’t mind the drinks. Go fix the delivery inside my office.”

“Alright…” I answered meekly. I feel like I’m in a lot of trouble again, but at the same time, I’m relieved that Aurora already left.

“Now you two, leave now or I’ll throw you out of the building?” He isn’t threatening them. I know he will do it.

Lillian and Rosie gave me the begging look but I shook my head. There’s nothing I can do to help them even if I want to. No one can change Sean’s mind. He is an alpha after all.

I rushed to the office and quickly fixed the meal. Sean came in and slammed the door behind him making me jump on my feet and make a sudden turn. Before I can do that though, I already saw myself being pinned on the wall.

“You. How can you let them talk like that to you?” He growled the words as if it disgusted him. His eyes turned dark green, a signal that he was totally pissed off.

“I-I… I don’t know what…” I choked on my words. I was nervous seeing him fuming and yet having him so close in front of me and catching his natural manly scent makes me feel like there are rats racing inside my chest. I was exhilarated!

“You know damn well what I’m saying! Are you an i***t? Are you that f*****g weak to not even talk back?” He presses on my shoulders hard enough to make me flinch.

Is this about what they said?

“I don’t need to prove anyone anything.” I tried to act calm. One thing I learned from being with him is that he gets angrier when someone begs for his pity. Then again, I’m just masking the uncomfortable feeling crawling over my skin.

“Is that right? So you’d rather have those bitches and everyone here think you’re coming after me? Don’t you care about your f*****g reputation?”

“What do you care? It’s my problem to handle.” I said as cold as I can.

“Is it?” His eyes grew darker.

I’m done for!

“Or is it because it’s true?” His eyes roamed my face as if studying each little change in my reaction. He leaned closer until I can almost hear his pulse. “Do you really want me for yourself?” His eyes landed on my lips and I swear we swallowed whatever lump we have on our throat at the same time. His hold on my shoulders became soft and tender, sliding his arms on my side and on to the small of my back.

“I-I…” I wanted to say no. It’s not like that! But with his breath fanning on my face and his lips almost touching mine, I couldn’t make a coherent answer. He pulled me closer and his strong solid body on mine made me want to faint.

“Y-you?” He asked as he bit his lower lip and his eyes meet mine. There’s no anger in them anymore. There’s something else… something that I’ve seen before yet… was all a mistake.

You’ll never be enough for me.

Those words echoed inside my head and before his lips touch mine, I pushed him as hard as I can.

“I don’t.”
