MATED TO THE ALPHA TWINS

CEO?!

CHAPTER THREE

SELENA

I stared at Aiden with watery eyes, but he looked away from me like he couldn't stand the sight of me anymore.

We had such a wonderful time together last night. Everything was going fine, where did it all go wrong?

"You have no idea what those witches have done Selena. You will never know," he muttered under his breath and shook his head.

I wanted to ask him to reconsider his decision, I didn't even do anything to him personally. But he had already rejected me as his mate.

I could still feel the pain of the rejection. I could not continue to embarrass myself by begging him. Whatever was left of my pride kept me from doing that.

I took a deep breath, holding back my emotions the best way I could and got dressed slowly.

Then I walked out of his bedroom and out of his house, hopefully out of his life so I could shove this horrible day behind me.

A small part of me felt like he was going to run after me and stop me from leaving but he never did. He never tried to stop me.

.....

I finally broke down when I got to my house. I was in the safety of my apartment and I could cry my eyes out without worrying about what anyone else would think of me.

I was sad and broken. Why did this always have to happen to me? What did I do to deserve this?

And the moon goddess, was she playing me? Why did she give me mates that were just going to hurt and reject me?

My first mate had hooked up with my sister behind my back and they had both fooled me for so long. If I had not caught them personally, I was sure that they had no intentions of coming clean with the truth.

And my second mate, he rejected me without a good explanation.

I thought about what he had said, that the Alpha of my pack was working with the witches.

I didn't even know the Alpha that well, as I had only seen him a few times. But if he was indeed working with the witches, what did it have to do with me?

Was it just an excuse for him to reject me after sleeping with me?

I felt so stupid! Why did I fall for these wolves over and over again?

I touched the mating bond on my neck. It was burning more and more because we had s*x last night and sealed our mate bond before he rejected me. The pain was almost getting too much for me to bear.

I raised my eyes and stared at the ceiling. A dangerous thought entered my mind just then. It would be best to just end everything there and then.

I stood up at once, to get rid of those bad thoughts. There was no way I was going to end my life over someone like him. I would never be so pathetic.

I survived the first time I was rejected, I would do the same this time!

I had to prepare for work tommorow. That should be my focus.

I walked over to my wardrobe to pick out a dress. I knew that if I didn't dress well tommorow, it could greatly affect how everyone else in the company would view me.

After an hour of meticulous searching, I settled on a professional attire. A black skirt and white shirt.

This should do.

Thoughts of Aiden and the night we spent together kept sneaking into my mind but I pushed it all out. I wouldn’t let it bother me. Never.

........

"You're Selena, the CEO's new personal assistant right? Come with me," an older looking woman walked up to me as soon as I stepped in the company.

She gave me a once over, and I immediately touched my neck, feeling self conscious.

I thought she could see the bleeding mate mark on me but then I remembered that I had covered it up with enough concealer before I left the house this morning. She wouldn't notice it.

My confidence was back. I was prepared to do well so I could keep the job.

She was already walking away so I followed behind her.

"Like we told you, we can't give you the job of the financial advisor that you applied for. Although your certificates are good enough, we also need someone with a lot of experience for this job and you don't have that," she took a pause to look at me and I nodded my head once.

She was right. I didn't have the experience needed for the job.

"You've only been out of college for a year and the only working experience you have is that of an intern. However, our company believes in giving talented people a chance so as long as you are talented and you work hard enough, you'll get the position they you want," she assured me.

This was the best news I had heard in two days. That I had the chance to work my way up in the company. I was going to do just that. Work hard till I got the position I wanted.

"For now, you are going to be working directly with our CEO as his personal assistant for the next five years. If he gives you a personal recommendation by the end of that, you get the job. Are we clear on that?" She asked me.

"Yes. I understand that," I said, trying hard to mask my fear.

I had heard a lot of things about the CEO, and if he was really as difficult as the rumours said, how was I supposed to get a recommendation from him?

The older woman seemed to know what I was thinking because she gave me a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry too much Selena. Our CEO is very strict but he appreciates talents. As long as you are good at your job, you will get a recommendation from him. Just focus on your job and don't worry about anything else. Oh, and also, he likes his coffee first thing in the morning so you should take a cup to him," she suggested.

"Thank you very much," I said.

"I'll take you to the pantry. That's where we get the coffee, some of our staff also have lunch there too," she continued walking and I followed after her.

I made the coffee and then walked back to the CEO'S office.

I stood in front of his door for two minutes, thinking about what I should say to him.

How was I supposed to introduce myself? He knew he got a new personal assistant right?

I could not continue standing out there all day. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

"Hello, I am…," My mouth dropped open when I raised my eyes and saw who was seated in the CEO's office.

The cup of coffee fell from my hand, but that was the least of my worries.

Why...why was it him?! How is this possible?

Why is my new boss the man I spent the night with two days ago?! The man who cruelly rejected me as his mate in the morning?!

Why is my new boss, Aiden?!

He looked at me too, and our eyes locked. I could see the recognition in his eyes and I was sure that he recognized me too.

He would kick me out for sure. I definitely lost this job. There was no way he'd want to work with his mate he rejected!

My heart sank to my stomach, as I waited for him to chase me out.

Then, he opened his mouth to give the order.

"What the f**k are you doing?! Do these people just hire anyone these days?!" He yelled at me.

I blinked my eyes several times, trying to make sense of what was going on, but I could not understand it.

Was he pretending not to know me?

He probably wanted to keep things professional. I didn't know if I should be grateful or angry. The fact that he wanted to keep things professional meant that I could keep this job.

But pretending not to know me after we had s*x, how could he do that to me?!

"What are you doing?! Are you deaf?!" He yelled again.

This brought me back to the present.

I shook my head.

"No, I'm sorry, this was a mistake. I'll clean this up right now!" I looked around for a broom and I cleaned up the spilled coffee.

I looked up at him when I was done and he just scoffed at me, ignoring my apology.

"Listen to me, and listen good. There are five rules you need to follow if you want to work for me here. You have to follow them or you can forget about this job, are we clear on that?" He asked me.

"Yes sir! We are!" I replied. I brought out my pen and notepad, getting ready to start writing.

He sneered and started to speak.

"One, I need my coffee black at all times, no milk, no sugar. It must be black,"

I scoffed, "black like your soul," I muttered under my breath.

He looked up at me. "What did you say?" He asked.

I forced a smile on my face and shook my head. "Nothing, nothing at all,"

"Two, you have to be here at the office before me everyday. I don't know where you think you work out but coming to work after me won't be accepted. There will be no excuses and you will be fired on the spot!"

"Three, remember that you work for me, and not anyone else. You only have to answer to me, and not anyone else in this company. Don't get too close with anyone else,"

I genuinely didn't understand the point of this rule. Was I not supposed to have friends? I however did not have the guts to ask and so I just kept quiet.

"Four," he paused as he looked at my clothes, "You have to be dressed professionally at all times,"

"Five, I never repeat myself. So always listen to whatever I say to you. Remember if you do fail of these rules, you'll get fired!"

He was done with his rules, but I didn't know what to do. I stood there waiting for further instructions.

He looked up at me and sneered, "What are you waiting for? Go get me my coffee!" He yelled.

I turned and dashed out of the office, I knew it would be hard to get his approval after what happened between us but I was determined. I needed to keep this job. And I needed to get my dream job.

I returned with the coffee a few minutes later. I handed it to him.

He took a sip of it and spat it out almost immediately.

"What is this?!" He roared at me.

I was scared. What did I do wrong?

"Coffee,”

"How the f**k is this considered coffee?! Go make it again!" He yelled.

I took the cup from him, cursing underneath my breath. I made the coffee the way he wanted!

What was his problem?! Was he picking on me on purpose? Did he want me to quit on my own?

I came back with the coffee and just like the last time, he spat it out immediately!

"It's bitter!" He complained.

I wanted to scream. Of course it was bitter! It was black coffee with no milk or sugar!

"But sir ....you said no milk and sugar...." He gave me a sharp glare and I immediately shut my mouth.

He got up from his chair and walked out of the office. I followed him, because I had no idea what else to do.

He went into the pantry and made the coffee by himself.

This time, he indeed didn't add milk or sugar but he added honey.

I felt like slamming my head on the wall. Of course, honey! How could I miss that?

He sneered at me and walked out of the pantry.

I placed a hand on my chest, wondering if this job was really worth it all.

Just then, the pantry door was pushed open and someone walked in.

My mouth fell open when I saw who it was.

The same "guy" from two nights ago! The one I slept with. I knew it couldn't be the CEO because he was still wearing the clothes he wore that night, that same leather jeans and jacket instead of the suit the CEO wore.

What was going?!

His eyes widened when he saw me and my own eyes widened too. I was starting to understand what was going on.

He stalked over to me and grabbed my neck, choking me.

"What the f**k do you think you're doing with my twin brother?!"
