บท 1: The meeting
It was just an average night for Angelica as she was sitting in the dressing room of a high-end clubwear she worked as a singer. Although she was only 19-years old she had the voice of an angel and the appearance of one too.
Her long bright red wavey hair hangs down to her waist and her bright forest green eyes shined like diamonds. Her skin was as white as snow & as soft as silk accompanied by a pair of ruby red lips. Since she was so beautiful no one expected much from her, but she is very responsible, after all, she has a sick mother to care for all on her own, just as her mother had done for her all these years, and now it was her turn...
"Angelica are you ready to go on? We have a special guest tonight I need you to be at your best" She hears her manager's voice from the door of her dressing room. He was a short practically bald man in his late 50s.
"Yes I am, don't worry I know how important tonight is for the club I won't mess it up" she replied in a soft tone getting up and walking out past the manager toward the stage.
Tonight was important, a very important wealthy man was coming to the club. A potential investor, the club needed the money to expand and as the star of the show, all pressure was on her!
On the other side of the club sat the man in question the city's most eligible bachelor Alpha Seth, well at least to his pack members. However, the rest of the world knew him as Seth Thompson, the 25-year-old billionaire CEO of Thompson Enterprises. He had investments everywhere from clubs to real estate and anything in between.
He was an extremely handsome man he was about 1.98 meters in length and had pitch-black state hair and steel blue eyes. He has a large build and was able to intimidate anyone who looked at him simply from his appearance alone.
As always he was wearing a black suit whit a gray undercoat, a white shirt, and a blue tie to match his eyes. Although he was so desirable very few women actually had the guts to approach him as his cold and domineering personality kept most people at bay.
He was known to be ruthless when it came to dealing with business. To him, everything was black and white. Trust and respect had to be earned...
He could feel his heart stop when she walked on stage...his mate the one he has been looking for, for 6 long years his wolf howled with joy at the sight of her " mate, we've finally found her"
She was perfect, her long red hair, her beautiful green eyes, her perfect snow-white skin everything about her was simply breathtaking...
Then as he was lost in thought she opened her mouth and started to sing. She sounded like an angel...
"La Seine, la seine, I realized I've hypnotized " Angelica sang.
After the performance was over he talked to the manager and asked him to introduce him to the singer. Which the manager was more than willing to do...
"Angelica" the manager called out to her. "Yes sir?" she replied in her usual soft tone of speaking. "Mr. Thompson would like to meet you! Seems your performance has made quite the impression on him." The manager Mr. Smith said. "Alright, let's go talk to the gentleman shall we..." she ushered us towards the door.
He could feel his heart race as she walked towards him, his beta Michel by his side wared him to approach the situation slowly, she was human and knew nothing of their world. She could not feel the pull as strong as him. But he did not care She was "HIS" his mate the woman he had been searching for, praying he'd find. The one who could stand by his side as equals, the one he has been longing for all this time, the one he is meant to be with...
Michel had been his best friend since childhood and when Seth became Alpha he made Michel his beta, his second in command. Although his heart was closed off to most Michel was one of the few exceptions as he saw him as a brother.
Michel was about 1.95 meters in length with light brown straight hair and greenish-brown eyes he was also quite handsome but gave off an aura of intelligence and maturity, which made him more approachable. He always helped Seth from losing control.
Seth could feel her sent intoxicating him, feeling like he might explode at any time and confess his undying love for her...
"Mr. Thompson, I'd like to introduce you to, Miss. Angelica Rayder" Mr. Smith said. "He is here too, he should leave. I only want to talk to mate" Seth's wolf said, he could feel frustration building inside him but he hid it, he didn't want to make a bad first impression on his mate. "Miss. Rayder, I wanted to thank you for the stunning performance you gave, and your name Angelica suites you well, for the perfect angel you are"
Angelica stood there frozen for a moment not knowing what to do, is he flirting with me? If so why? He has everything he could possibly ever want why would someone like him be interested in me? He must do stuff like this all the time after all he probably has women throwing themselves at him, I have to be careful. She thought to herself, but being mates Seth could read her mind as if she were speaking the words she was thinking...
"Thank you, Mr. Thompson, I'm glad you enjoyed my performance." She replied in a diplomatic tone. "Please call me Seth, and I can assure you I meant what I said, and I'm not trying to use you or anything I promise," he said in his deep voice. Did he just read my mind? She was freaking out internally.
He could see her growing nervous and uncomforted at his words "well now you've gone and blown it, what if mate never accepts us now?" Seth's wolf howled in anguish. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, it's just easy to assume what people think of me," Seth said in a gentle tone.
Is he apologizing to me? He seems a lot different from how the media portrays him, He seems kind and gentle? "Please Mr. Thompson there is no need to apologize, really," she said in a soft tone. "I asked that you call me Seth!" he said in a commanding tone. "Yes, Seth..." she said quite and unsure. She sound of his name on her lips sent him into pure ecstasy. "Angelica, may I call you that" she answers with a slight nod. "I haven't had dinner yet would you do me the honor of joining me?" he asked.
She wanted to say no the man in front of her was intimidating. He was so tall that her head bearly reached his chest even as she stood in heels. His pitch-black hair in contrast to his bright blue eyes and his perfectly sculpted facial features were just too much for her. I knew they said he was handsome but even their description doesn't do him justice, he looks like a freaking Greek God. "Yes, I'd love to." She replied before she knew that the words left her mouth. He had this magnetic pull around him making it hard for her to resist although she wanted to. She felt like she had known him all her life and when their eyes met she swears she could feel a jolt of electricity run through her.
"Well then shall we?" he said holding out his arm to her as to escort her to the limo he has waiting outside. She shoots a quick look to the manager who somehow made his way to the bar while they were stuck in their own world, who gives her a nod. And with that, she places her hand on his arm, and there it is again electricity. They turn and leave, walking out the door to go to the restaurant...

บท 2: The restaurant
After he led her out of the club with the manager's consent they got into a big fancy black stretch limousine. As he had opened the door for her to get in she was now sitting on the right with him next to her. Across from them sat Michel his beta, and best friend.
When he stood he was just a little shorter than Seth. He seemed intelligent and kind, from his appearance only. "where are we taking her for dinner?" said Michel to Seth through the mind link they have. "We? You can have your own table. I want to be alone with her." Seth linked back. "Fine, but I'll sit close by in case you need my help, now don't go scaring the poor girl off. You should probably introduce me." linked Michel
Angelica just sat there in quiet watching the two men as their mannerisms slightly changed. If I didn't know any better I'd say they're having a conversation, but how they're not talking? Seth slightly stiffened at her thoughts. Does she know something? She can't know right? Although if she did it would make things a lot easier...
'Angelica let me introduce you to Michel Steel, he is my business partner and lifelong friend." Seth said in a smooth tone so as not to let on the panic he was feeling internally."Nice to meet you Mr. Steel" Angelica said. "Please, Miss. Angelica calls me Michel, after all, we will be seeing each other a lot more from now on..." Michel replied in a suggestive tone, as he stretched out a hand for her to shake...
THE AUDACITY OF THIS MOTHERFUCKER?! He tells me not to scare her away then he goes and says something like that! Hopefully, she doesn't notice. As he saw her hand stretch out to shake Michel's "NO" said his wolf and before he knew it he had engulfed her hand in his and pulled it towards them without a word...
Angelica sat there not sure what to make of what just happened, Michels words along with Seth's actions there has to be something more going on here, but what?
Her small soft hand felt comfortable wrapped up in his big rough one. This felt like heaven to him even this small touch had such a big effect on him. Is this what it's like to be with your mate? He had to use all the strength he had to resist the urge to pull her close wrap her up in his arms and never let go."Were holding mate's hand!" Seth's wolf howled.
The rest of the car ride was quiet. After about a half-hour the limo stopped in front of a fancy tall building. Since he grabbed her hand away from Michels he still hasn't let go no matter how hard she tried to pull her hand out of his grip he just tightened it, eventually, she gave up.
He let go of her hand and stepped out of the car holding his hand out for her to take. Which she did, and once again he wrapped his hand around hers holding it as soon as she was out of the car. Here we go again, I'm never going to get my hand back am I? she thought to herself as a small sigh left her lips. Hearing these thoughts and seeing the defeated expression on her face made him chuckle a bit.
Just like that hand in hand, he led her to the roof floor of the building where the restaurant is, with Michel trailing close behind them. A small gasp escaped her lips as they entered the roof-top restaurant and were led to their table.
The scenery from up there was breathtaking. They were in a cozy private booth with roses and fairy lights decorating the entire restaurant over the natural wooden structures. Although they were on a roof it made it feel more like they were in a garden.
"This place is so beautiful," Angelica said with appreciation in her voice. "Yes, it is. But not as beautiful as you, my Tesoro," he said in the lowest most seductive way possible causing Angelica to turn bright red at his words. Just then she realized they were the only ones in the whole restaurant except for Michel who sat at the far end of the restaurant, away from them.
'I know this will be a lot to take in, but please believe me when I say that from the first moment I had laid eyes on you, I was head over heels in love. You are the person I have been waiting for, looking for all my life." Seth said in a calm, earnest, and emotional way he hadn't planned to say any of that just to get to know her, but he was so overcome with emotions at finally having found her that he couldn't help it the words had left his mouth before he even knew what he was saying.
As soon as he saw the shock and disbelief on her face had he realized what he just said. Way to go idiot, you fucked it up real bad. She probably thinks you a creep or a player now. You did it, you fucking did it...
TF did he just say? Is he in love with me? This has to be some sick twisted joke or some ploy to get me into bed, but if he thinks that is going to work he can just forget about it...she thought to herself as anger and confusion began to take hold. However she hid these feelings from her face, she was a performer after all so she was going to give the performance of a lifetime if only for her kind and caring manager who helped her when she had no one else to turn to and has always cared for her...
Hearing these thoughts Seth's heart felt like it was sinking, he felt hurt, but he couldn't really blame her after all they had just met and he had a reputation for being a ladies' man, which wasn't true as he was waiting for his mate... just a bunce of models, actresses or singers trying to get ahead in their careers by using his name to cause a scandals rumor and that's all they were rumors, but she had no way of knowing this.
As Michele was sitting in the corner watching them, he notice the pain and anxiousness in his friends, his Alpha's eyes. "What happened?" Michel linked. "I fucked up, that's what, and it's bad I don't know how I'm going to fix this. I've been looking for her for years now that I finally found her I can't lose her..."Seth linked.
"Thank you for your sweet words, Mr. Thompson. You are such a sweet talker. For a man of your stature to compliment a mere singer like me with your kind words, I'll have to ensure that I do my best to be worthy of that praise if you chose to invest in our club." Angelica said in the sweetest softest voice tone you can imagen. Seth sat there in astonishment at how easily she deflected his words in such a diplomatic way with so much hidden meaning...
With that one sentence, she had managed to put distance between them, reject his advance in a non-offensive way and bring the topic of conversation back to business. He was impressed at how capable she is. And the expression on her face never let on her true emotion, if he couldn't read her mind he would've thought that everything was fine, but instead, he knew the truth.
Dame, she is going to make an amazing Luna, that is if I can get her to actually accept me...
Instead of insisting on her calling him Seth as he did before, he let her use the honorific so as to not worsen the situation and push her further away. He was more careful about what he said and rather focused on talking about business so as to not make her more uncomfortable.
"So Miss. Rayder, could you tell me more about the club from your perspective as an employee?" Seth asked in a casual tone. "I really enjoy working there, everyone is so friendly, the work environment is wonderful and the pay is exceptional. They take really good care of not only their employees but their dependents as well. And our manager Mr. Smith is very kind but strict, he makes sure everything runs smoothly and that the clients don't mistreat the employees." Angelica replied in an appreciative tone.
I'm glad she likes working there and that they treat her well but why did she emphasize the word dependents, does she have someone who relies on her? Is she a mother? The thoughts went racing through his head one after another until he couldn't take it anymore.
"If you don't mind me asking, Miss. Rayder, you are still so young why are you working in that club instead of going to university or enjoying your youth?" He asked trying not to seem too interested, "Well, I would have liked to go study medicine but unfortunately things don't always work out as planned, and like I said their pay is exceptional which helps a lot with the cost of care for my..." she trails of not wanting to talk about her personal life too much with this man in front of her, but somehow there was something inside her that wanted to tell him everything, depend on him, trust him.
She chalked that feeling down to him being so attractive that she couldn't think straight around him & ignored the urge she had to tell him about her mother's illness, how she was raised by a single mother with no clue as to her father's identity and that her mother was constantly in the hospital for treatment, but that she could bearly afford the medical expenses never mind the surgery her mother needed.
No this was her cross to bear, her mother had always raised her with the greatest love and care and now it was her turn...
He could see she didn't want to talk about it and he wasn't going to push the matter. Instead, they order their meal and ate while having a pleasant conversation. Afterward, he dropped her off at her apartment building waiting till she was safely inside before leaving.
"Michele, I want to hire an investigator for me to find out more about her," he said in a commanding tone. "But..." Michele started but was interrupted by Seth, "This isn't a request." "Yes, Alpha" Michele replied "Also, have an investment contract drawn up with the club for me to sign. I want it to specify that I may come and go from the club as I please." Michele replied with a small nod.
I hope he knows what he's doing, this could backfire so fast. She doesn't look like a woman who likes others digging into her personal business...Michele thought to himself.
