Bonded to My Ex's Alpha Brother (by CalebWhite) novel Chapter 163

Erin’s POV

The employees scattered like caught puppies, quickly returning to their workstations. “Nothing, we were just… trying to confirm the Alpha’s mood today. You know, it’s important for our work arrangements.”

I walked slowly toward the coffee area, my thin heels making crisp sounds on the marble floor. “Why the sudden concern? Has Derek’s mood affected anyone’s work?”

A young female employee with short blonde hair boldly followed me, lowering her voice. “Last time he was in a terrible mood, the entire pack felt his anger. I heard from the management department that the Alpha was furious about something you did, even considering terminating your contract.” She blinked curiously, “I just wanted to know what could make our usually calm Alpha so angry?”

My spirit was nearly at the breaking point–a night of tossing and turning had left faint dark circles under my eyes, and my brain felt shrouded in fog. All I wanted was to find a quiet corner to rest.

I took the special silver moon–patterned cup from under the premium coffee machine and asked expressionlessly. “If Alpha Derek truly wanted to terminate my position, do you think I would still be standing here making his coffee?”

The young female employee’s face flashed with embarrassment. “Sorry, Miss Blackwood, I didn’t mean to offend. It’s just…

there are so many rumors, I wanted to know the truth.”

I looked around at all the employees who had perked up their ears, my voice not loud but exceptionally clear. “If you have any questions, I suggest you ask the Alpha directly.” A cold smile hung at the corner of my lips, “But remember, spreading rumors about the Alpha’s private affairs is not a wise move in the Darkwood Pack. Those who fabricate stories for

attention will only embarrass themselves.”

I paused, a dangerous light flashing in my eyes, “I will not be leaving this position, and the Alpha has no intention of firing me. That is the only fact.”

My tone was as sharp and cold as a blade. The office immediately quieted down, everyone lowering their heads to focus on their work, understanding that my mood was exceptionally bad today.

I elegantly picked up the special coffee, ignoring the inquiring looks from several female werewolves who had previously gossiped about me in the break room, and walked straight back to the Alpha’s office.

“Alpha? Where are you?” I asked.

I heard a slight movement and turned to see Derek lazily leaning against the leather sofa by the floor–to–ceiling window, his long legs casually crossed, one hand holding a black titanium phone, the other resting on the sofa back, his entire being radiating a dangerous and alluring aura.

“Here’s your coffee, Alpha,” I said, gently placing the cup on the onyx side table next to the sofa,ing my voice wouldn’t disturb him.

Derek slowly locked his phone screen, placed it on the coffee table, and unhurriedly raised his head, gray eyes flickering with an unfathomable light. “Come here.”

Chapter 163

My movements slightly stiffened. “W–what?”

Derek’s long fingers lightly tapped the space beside him, his voice deep with an irrefusable command. ‘I said, come here. Literal meaning, little wolf.”

My entire nervous system instantly tensed, doubt and fear intertwining as my thoughts raced–had I done something wrong? Why was he commanding me this way? Why could this wolf pack leader with absolute control so easily make my heart race and my breathing irregular?

I hesitantly stepped forward, but before I could fully approach, Derek moved with lightning speed–his long, powerful fingers suddenly gripped my slender wrist, pulling me forcefully toward him. Losing my balance, I gasped as I fell onto his broad lap, my black silk dress riding up slightly to reveal a glimpse of pale thigh.
