In Bed with the Alpha Boss: A CEO Werewolf Romance Chapter 10

Chapter 10 – Taking Sides
Gabrielle.
My hand automatically goes to my cheek. She slapped me so hard, I am pretty sure it will leave a mark.
“You have no idea what you’re getting into!” she roars at me. “You don’t know who I am and what I’m capable of!”
“I-I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
“Liar! Why was Sebastian in your apartment? He went there last night and he stayed the night! I have eyes on him! I know everything!”
My eyes widen in disbelief. “You’re having him followed? That’s… creepy!”
“He’s my fiance! I have to protect our relationship?”
Relationship? Didn’t they just meet each other yesterday?
“No one can break us up! Especially not some cheap nobody like you! Do you think you can get ahead with your career by sleeping with the boss?”
She doesn’t know me and yet she has already judged me.
“No, you definitely got the wrong impression, Miss Parks. I
Chapter 10 – Taking Sides
would never sleep with someone just to get a promotion.”

She smirks at me. “Oh? Then what are you hoping to gain by offering your body to Sebastian? You want to be his wife? You’re hoping he’ll fall in love with you and someday marry you?”
“Well… I…”
“Listen to me, you little human!” she hisses at me. I do not miss the resentment in her voice when she mentioned the word ‘human’, and I find it quite weird. “You are not from Sebastian’s world. He cannot and will not marry your kind.”
What does she mean by my kind? Is she referring to those who belong to the lower part of society like me? My kind as in the poor, less fortunate kind?
She flings a cup of water at me, the liquid cascading down my face and chest, leaving my shirt damp and nearly transparent. “You wh*re! You’re just a plaything! You will never win Sebastian over!”
“And what? You think you can?” I cannot help myself. I may be poor, but my parents taught me never to take insults from anybody. “Your engagement isn’t even Sebastian’s decision. His mother and your father arranged the whole thing! And now, here you are, thinking you already got a claim over him.”
Her eyes widen in surprise. Perhaps, she wasn’t expecting that I would fight back. I think Soraya Parks is a spoiled brat, who treats people like they are beneath her, and thinks she can always get away with it.

“You bi*ch! I swear, you will regret the day you crossed my path!” she screams and then she slaps me on the face again. This time, I am ready for her. I manage to push her away from me. She st**gers back, almost losing her balance.
“What the hell is going on here?” a voice roars from the door. We both turn around and see Sebastian standing there. Behind him are the other employees, who have been watching our row.
Da*n! How long have they all been watching us?
Immediately, Soraya switches gears. She feigns a panicked expression on her face and turns to Sebastian with a pleading Voice.
“Your secretary attacked me! I was only asking her to make tea for me, too. And she told me I have no right to tell her what to do!”
She runs to Sebastian and wraps her arms around his waist. “Did you see? She pushed me!”
“She attacked me first!” I say in my defense.
I look at Sebastian’s face. It is devoid of emotions. I desperately hope he will take my side because he knows me better. He knows that I was never a violent person.
Sebastian heaves a deep breath. “Apologize to her, Miss Jones.”
I stare back at him surprise. “What? But she was the one who

slapped and insulted me.”

“She is our guest here,” Sebastian points out. “We always treat our guests with respect. You know that’s my policy in this company. So, apologize.”
I close my eyes and bite my lower lip. I am not sure what hurts more? Soraya’s insults or Sebastian’s disappointing reaction. At that moment, he really made me feel that the days we spent together really did not mean anything to him.
I look down on my feet. “I’m… I’m sorry, Miss Parks,” I say bitterly.
Soraya smirks at me before turning to Sebastian. “Let’s go, Sebby. She isn’t worth our time.”
Sebby? That nickname makes me want to puke. And I’m sure Sebastian feels the same way.
Sebastian gives me one hard look before saying, “You can take the day off.” Then he strides away, Soraya following suit.
As I walk out of the pantry, I feel the dozens of pairs of eyes watching me. I put my arms over my chest to cover my bra, that’s almost visible from the wet, thin material of my top. I look down, embarrassed, unable to look at any of them.
‘So, it is true. She is indeed sleeping with the boss!’
‘She’s always been a hypocrite, acting all clean and modest, when in reality, she’s not afraid to sell her own body to get
Chapter 10 – Taking Sides ahead in her career!’

I knew something was wrong with her the moment she arrived in this company!’
‘I always thought she was a stuck-up b**ch!’
‘What a s*ut!’
‘She deserves that!’
My colleagues are whispering to each other. I don’t know how it’s possible, but somehow, I can hear their words loud and clear.
Hearing all these comments about me, I feel embarrassed and humiliated. I want to cry and run away from it all.
I reach my desk and gather my bag. Then I walk towards the elevator and press the down button.
As I get out of the building, I decide to take a walk to clear my head. Just then, some guy jumps in front of me, sn**ching the purse from my hand.
“Hey!” I shout. I have no choice but to run after the guy. He leads me to a narrow alley between two buildings. “Give me back my purse!”
The guy stops running and drops my purse to the ground. He stares back at me with a sinister expression on his face. I notice something really wrong with his face. His eyes are glowing like

yellow fire in their sockets, and his mouth has… fangs!

“The next time you cross Miss Parks, I will kill you!” he growls
at me.
