Becoming His Luna

3~Meeting the CEO

That was the best night of my life and probably my best s****l experience ever. Nothing with Liam could compare to the intense moment I'd had with a total stranger.

I woke up with a light headache and turned, expecting to see my s*x god next to me but the bed was empty. It was only around 7am but he was gone already. A small part of me was disappointed but that was what it was anyway, just a night of reckless passion.

Over the next couple of days, I spent my time sending in applications to different firms and businesses, just hoping that one of them would reach out to me or I'd be on the streets in no time.

I hadn't left the hotel since the night I went to the club except for when I went back to Liam's place to get the rest of my things. He wasn't home, thankfully but I still had my key. Liam had sent me a dozen texts and called me a hundred times but I chose to completely ignore his existence and move on.

Things started to look up for me when I finally got an email from one of the companies I'd applied to. What made it all the more intriguing was that the company was owned by werewolves.

Some people thought I was crazy for being so interested in werewolves when the average human did their best to steer clear of them. But I couldn't help being fascinated by them. I was to come in the next day and I went looking my best.

When I reached the tall building of Intracorp, I just knew I wanted to work there. I had to get in. There were a few other people applying for the same position and I had to wait a while before the receptionist came and led me to the CEO'S office.

I was busy admiring the office when I heard someone's voice.

“Have your seat” I did as I was instructed and the chair swiveled around to face me. My eyes grew wide and my mouth parted in absolute horror.

There was absolutely no way.

The man sitting at the desk in front of me was the same man I'd had a one night stand with some days back. And he was supposed to be interviewing me for a job as his personal assistant!

I managed to gather myself together, taking a deep breath. Somehow he didn't seem to recognise me. Maybe he was so used to sleeping with different women that he didn't even care to recognise them.

The realization of it was somewhat disappointing. It was just s*x but it felt so much… deeper. I struggled to hide my embarrassment as I remembered how I'd begged him to f**k me.

“Okay.” He said as he finished looking at my file.

“Why did you get fired from your last job?”

“I had an issue with a client…” telling your potential new boss that you lacked the patience it took to work with people wasn't very wise.

He regarded me with a pinch of suspicion before he looked back at my CV.

“You've got the job”

He said it so casually it took me a few seconds to realize.

“Oh my, thank you. You won't regret it I'm very capable”

“I'd hope so. Go back to the receptionist, let her know that I asked her to give you a briefing and direct you to HR. You resume tomorrow”

“Tomorrow?”

He looked up from his desk, one eyebrow raised. “Is that a problem?”

“No, sir. Tomorrow is fine” I responded then just sat there awkwardly staring at him.

“You can leave” I didn't need him to tell me twice. I got out of that office as fast as I could. My heart had been beating fast all through the interview and I could barely breathe with him in front of me.

I still couldn't believe the coincidence. What were the chances that the man I'd had a one night stand with would turn out to be my new boss? At least I'd been right, he definitely wasn't human.

The receptionist's name was Claudia. She gave me a basic overview of the company and the kind of work I would need to be doing for Mr Morningstar. That was his name, Asher Morningstar.

After sorting out some stuff I finally left the company. It was like I'd already begun working that day. There was so much paperwork to fill out and I'd been made to do my medical tests all in that day. Those werewolves really weren't playing around.

It was already 7 when I left the premises. Most of the normal staff had closed for the day already. There was a lot of traffic heading back so I got out of the cab when I was a few minutes away from the hotel.

I was passing a quiet street when out of nowhere, someone reached for me and pushed me to the ground. The sudden impact had me disoriented for a while. I was staring at the feet of two men. They were closing in on me. I looked up at them and managed to get onto my feet.

“Who are you people? And what the hell are you doing?” I questioned angrily. I quickly mellowed down when the both smiled, revealing their canines. They were werewolves.

“You owe us a lot of money” The taller one spoke first, rubbing his chin.

“What money? I don't even know you” the fear was slowly seeping into my brain and keeping me frozen.

“Show her the picture.”

The shorter guy with hair brought out his phone. On it was a picture of Liam”

“That is clearly not me!” I yelled and that got me a slap to the face. I found myself back on the floor, my face throbbing with pain and my head slowly spinning.

The dark haired guy knelt next to me and grabbed me roughly. “You've gotta learn your place, human”

“You're his girl, aren't you?” I looked up at the tall one.

“He cheated on me, so no” I gritted out.

“Oh, you poor thing” the guy next to me stroked my hair in pretend pity before he grabbed a fistful of it and pulled on it.

“Ah!” I screamed in pain

“Well too bad because he owes us a lot of money and since the coward left town, you're going to pay us every last penny”

I had no idea Liam had been getting involved with such dangerous people, or that he'd left town. No wonder I didn't meet him at his place and he'd also stopped trying to reach me. That bastard.

“Please, please. I don't know anything about this just find Liam and leave me alone”

The two guys exchanged a look before the one with dark hair pulled me off the ground and pinned me to the wall behind us.

“Well maybe we'll just take you for ourselves then, how about that?” He still had a grip on my hair while his other hand roamed my body. I was going to be sick.

My instincts kicked in and I raised my knee, hitting him hard where it would hurt. He let go of me and he fell to the ground in pain. I tried to run but the tall one was much quicker and stronger. He pulled me back and held me by my neck.

“She is pretty. We could use a new pet” He said with an evil grin. The shorter one got up and pulled me to himself.

“She's also stubborn. I think I'll teach her a lesson right now”

I looked between the two of them, realizing what they were about to do to me.

“No, no please. I'll pay you the money, please!”

“Too late for that hun”

I could feel tears making their way to my eyes but I fired them back. I refused to be weak in front of these men. Just when I'd completely resigned to my fate, someone appeared.

“Enough” The voice was familiar yet it was filled with so much authority and power, it was almost scary.

I looked down the street, a tall masculine figure was approaching us but I couldn't see his face in the dark. I sensed the atmosphere change as the two men slowly backed away from me.

They were just as scared as I was, if not more.

When the man reached my line of sight, I was shocked to see Mr Morningstar.

“But s-she… owes us money. We've got to–” The dark haired guy was cut short as Asher's hand went around his neck. He'd moved past me so fast and reached the men in front of me.

“You'll leave her be or you'll lose your head” The calmness in his voice as he spoke made him sound all the more menacing.

“Yes, we'll leave. Please spare us please!” The tall one fell to the ground, begging.

Asher regarded him for a few seconds before he let go of the other guy. The two of them immediately went running with their tails between their legs. In a different circumstance I would be laughing.

Then he turned to me with his piercing gaze.

“Next time, try not to anger people who are a hundred times stronger than you,” he said to me.

Had he been watching the whole time? Yet he'd only chosen to come to my rescue when they were about to assault me?

“We're you watching them? And you didn't help me sooner?”

Asher looked genuinely uninterested as he spoke, “If you want I can call them back and leave. I'm sure they'll be happy to finish what they started”

His reaction to the whole thing was surprising. He seemed so different from the man who'd made me o****m four times just a few nights ago. I was beginning to feel annoyed towards him.

“Come” He said simply as he started walking in the opposite direction.

“Where? My hotel is literally around the corner”

“They probably know where you stay and believe me when I say you do not want to be alone if they come back for you tonight”

He did make sense but I had nowhere else to go.

“Are you coming or not?”

“Where?” I asked again.

“My house”
