Accursed

Lucas Parker was shocked beyond bother whenever he glared at his mate, she was here, he had literally brushed her out of his mind, but fate had pulled her back to her.

Walking towards his cabinet, he removed a warm jacket, one he keeps there for rainy or cold unexpected days.

"Wear this, I don't want you catching a cold," he said pushing the cotton jacket to him.

As she pushed her hand to grab it, their hands brushed against one another, and the electric shock that pulled them made him want to go mad. He hadn't expected that you happen.

"Thank you, Alpha" Kimberly mutters as she slides it on her cold clothes.

When she looked up at the man, she saw his hard contoured face, and she knew she had fucked up.

"Alpha, I know who you are," she said with every certainty in her tone.

It has been only fifteen minutes that Kimberly has been here but Lucas feels frustrated already, more than she can think about, he keeps her at eye length, and right now, he just wants to talk this out.

"We need to talk," he growls out.

Kimberly knew something like this will have to happen, she has been pushing him to his extremes, and it is only normal that he has a conversation with her.

"About my position in your company? I am a good personal assistant, a better emissary you will ever employ, and..." Kim was just busily talking, she didn't care about whether or not the man was listening to her.

Well, not until he truncated her words.

"No, fuck the company, it's about us lady," he groaned out.

For the first time since Kimberly had entered the young man's office, she actually took a break and stop talking. Silence automatically filled the room, but she soon recovered and she knew she wasn't going to let it go like that.

"Us? there is no us," she mouthed.

Lucas threw his head behind him and covered his eyes, he waited for a moment, wanting this moment to pass by so fast. She is being a loud mouth, it just gets him so frustrated knowing that he can't get his mate under control. How could he, when Kimberly doesn't even know she is already special to him?

Grabbing an office chair from the table, he pulled it towards her side, and when he sits, their legs locks against one another.

He felt Kim tense beside him, and a small bubble of hope sprang in him as he finally finds a way to get her under his thumb. When he looks up at her face, their eyes meet one another, and he feels her shudder deeper on the chair.

"On the contrary, that is where you make a mistake. There is an us. And with that, I mean you calling me Alpha, fighting a spot in my company, and thinking you can intimidate me with a threat," he says in his dark voice.

In New York, Lucas is feared in his area, he owns the biggest Mafia group, and his mining company only gives him room for his power. He wouldn't allow a loudmouth mate to spoil what little future he has built for himself.

"What do you mean?" she asks her voice failing her.

Lucas smiled brightly, he knew that his words are already getting the best of her, he just needs to manipulate her some more.

"That you can't call me Alpha," he let out.

"You know that I can't, you saved me that night..." the young lady's words were truncated at that moment as he tightened his thighs with hers.

"Shut the heaven fuck up! You will do as I wish if you want to keep a spot in this company," he let out fiercely as he gets to his feet.

Kimberly lost it as well, if Lucas was going to act like a loser, she is ready to make him regret that act of his.

"What about I throw myself to the media and say the mafia of New York City has a small secret of his, huh?" she asks storming his office as she paces it.

The young man balanced himself on his chair, trying as much as he can to enjoy the show.

"The media? what secret of mine is that you want to throw up to the media?" he asks casually as if Kimberly had not just thrown a threat to his face.

He was trying his best to act mature, to act like none of this rubbish game he was playing on her didn't affect his reasoning. But as usual, he has a secret card he wants to play on his own, he wants to make her think she has control over this situation, which she clearly doesn't.

Kimberly's pout was visible, she was thinking, her mind going straight to the only evidence in her mind.

"Telling them that you are a goddamn wolf. They will want to chase you out of town," she blurted out.

The young man's sharp voice filled her ears as he cackled. His voice was rich, it made her want to go insane, oh yes! but he knew what was going on now.

"It is your word against mine, sweetheart," he shot out.

That was it, Kimberly knew she had this man under her spell without using any force, but it is evident that he is as stubborn as he thought, she has to subdue the fight in him.

"Are you so certain about that, Mr. Mafia? or should I say, Alpha? she said lightly.

It isn't always what she plans might happen, but she hadn't wanted to come to this point. Rushing to her bag, she grabs her phone and pulls out her phone searching through it.

Once she found that one sacred pic, she flashes it toward Lucas's face, enjoying his reaction.

It is a picture from that night at Lornato forest. He was sitting at the center and his pack members were around him. When she swiped the next pic, he was transforming into a wolf.

"What the fuck!" he heard himself.
