10 Chapter 10 My Stunning New Assistant Draven's POV 1 When I stopped at the door and looked at the woman leaning over the filing cabinet with her back to the door , my wolf Alaric immediately perked up . My eyes went straight to those legs and landed on that sexy pair of shoes . And what shoes ! Those heels were killer . I should have banned them from the office before some poor wolf lost control . Then I heard Ryan's appreciative whistle . She stood up immediately , and I could see she had a stunning figure . Her waist - length blonde hair was partially tied back and gleamed beautifully in the office light . Of course Ryan started drooling over her right away - he's an incorrigible ladies ' man , even for a Beta . I shot him a stern look , which only made his smile wider when he noticed my displeasure . But when that woman turned around , Ryan's eyes grew even bigger . She was incredibly beautiful , with bright , strikingly green eyes that reminded me of a forest during the spring moon . Alaric growled possessively . I just wanted to get my Beta out of there immediately and forbid him from even looking at her . She was definitely my new assistant , and there was no way I was going to let Ryan work his charm on her . But of course , he didn't care about my look of disapproval . He knew exactly what was going through my mind and stepped forward as if to provoke both me and Alaric . She was friendly and professional , and when I moved closer to shake her extended hand , I tried to catch her scent but found nothing . - Then I remembered Clara mentioning she was a scentless wolf . A pity , really . I couldn't help but think how captivating she would be with a sweet scent to match her beauty . She would drive more wolves wild . Still , I felt an electric current pulse through my entire body when our skin connected . She scrambled all my senses ; I needed to get away from her presence immediately before Alaric decided to make his dominance known . I quickly called Ryan into my office , and as soon as we entered , he barely closed the door before starting . " Alpha Draven , are you really going to be able to work with that goddess ? Where did you find this woman ? She's amazing ! I think I want to switch assistants . I'll send Kyle to you and take Caroline to my office . " As Beta , Ryan held the position of Vice President in the company and assisted me with pack matters . He maintained his own office and personal assistant within the corporate structure . We grew up together , and as my best friend and loyal Beta , he knew me better than anyone else . He was also the only person who dared to push my buttons . I looked at him with obvious ferocity , my eyes briefly flashing their wolf violet . Ryan knew exactly how my new assistant's beauty had affected me . And of course , he already knew to stay away from her and was just provoking me , but it wouldn't hurt to reinforce it with some Alpha command . " Ryan , don't even start ! I don't want you hitting on her . She's my assistant , and I don't want any complications here in the office ." " Ah , Alpha Draven , give me one good reason why I shouldn't approach that knockout . Is she your mate ? Did you catch a binding scent ? " Ryan asked with curiosity . " Simply because I don't want you to ! " I spoke like a stubborn Alpha who didn't want to share his territory . My cedarwood and musky 1/3 scent thickened in the room with my possessiveness . " And are you thinking of breaking your own rule about not getting involved with your employees ? Because you've never stressed about me dating any pack member before , " Ryan said with a teasing smirk on his face , completely unfazed by my display of dominance . " No , Ryan , I'm not going to get involved with Miss Bennett . But she's my assistant , trained by Clara , who's going to London . I don't want to lose the employee and have to search for and train another one myself . " I spoke as if it were purely a matter of professional interest , but even I didn't believe that . Ryan had already noticed how much my assistant had impressed me and was looking at me with that smile . Suddenly , we heard a commotion in the anteroom . This kind of disturbance was unusual in my territory . My office was a sanctuary , and I didn't tolerate any chaos that might threaten pack stability . The confusion and chatter on the other side of the door were something new . Then I heard Caroline's voice . " Miss , I apologize , but you need to be announced . I cannot allow you to enter without Mr. Thorne's authorization ." " And who do you think you are to stop me or tell me what to do , you little employee ? Do you even know who my father is in this pack ? " I heard that irritatingly shrill voice and recognized it immediately . It was Ella Howard , Gerald Howard's daughter . Her father was my financial director and one of the pack elders . What an unbearable she - wolf ! She had become fixated on me , wanting to make me her mate , and I needed to end it - but didn't know how without causing a rift with her father . Until I could figure out how to get this persistent wolf off my trail , I had to keep avoiding unpleasant situations like this one . " Listen here , you little nobody . Move now , or I'll have you howling at the border like some Omega beggar , scraping for scraps . " That made my blood boil , and Alaric roared inside me . I ran my hands through my hair in frustration and looked at Ryan , who seemed to be enjoying my misfortune . I opened the door without looking , took a step out , and bumped into my assistant's back , pushing her forward . My wolf's reflexes kicked in instantly . I quickly caught her by the waist and pulled her against my chest to prevent her from hitting the floor because of my carelessness . I felt her body pressed against mine , and an unexpected electric current surged between us . As she shivered in my arms , that peculiar sensation stirred something in my memory , reminding me of a passionate night years ago that had driven me wild . I closed my eyes to try to detect her scent , but found nothing . But I was in big trouble , sporting a massive erection just from hugging my assistant . 1 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
