For Katie, the trip into work had been nerve-racking, it was her first day as an assistant to the PA of a large corporation.
Leaving her baby brother at the daycare center, had been difficult, she loved her little brother with all her heart and leaving him with strangers, albeit kind ones, had been difficult.
Having taken full custody of the three month old, after the death of their father and his new wife, over a month ago, Katie was now the sole provider and caretaker.
Her mother and sister, wanted nothing to do with the baby, the divorce between her parents had been bitter.
Her mother had not been exactly happy, that her husband had finally decided that he had enough of her snobbish ways, even though he owned a large company, he always believed family was important, having stood silently in the sidelines, watching as his ex-wife treated those around her with little respect.
Having had enough of his wife's shenanigans, he filed for divorce and he never looked back, having enjoyed the last year of his life, with his new wife and baby.
Katie never begrudged her father's new wife, someone who had made her father happy, in his last year of life.
But unfortunately, fate had played a nasty hand, taken the life of her father and his bride, leaving her little half-brother without someone to watch over him.
Being in college at the time, she had to take the tough decision to quit her studies, choosing to take the responsibility of taking care of her little brother, thankfully she had some savings and a home to be able to take care of him.
But, she knew that she had to find work, her savings would not last long, especially with a young child to take care of.
If you are wondering, what happened to her father's company or why there wasn't some form of insurance, then try to get in the middle of her mother's greed and the legal partners, who were all like vultures fighting over every little thing, forgetting about her brother.
She had decided to forfeit her right in getting anything from her Dad's estate and decided to get a legal document, which stated that her brother was her sole responsibility and nobody could take him away from her.
Her brother's inheritance was being held in a trust fund, until he reached his twenty-first.
She was more than happy to look after him, she loved the little one and never regretted the decision of taking him in.
So, sending out a few cv's, she was finally able to land this job, which was quite a feat, considering her lack of experience.
But, for some or other reason, when she first came in for her interview, the lady took a liking to her and had given her the opportunity.
Hence, the reason she was feeling the way she was, something had told her, that this decision was going to be good for her.
"So, when is this new assistant, supposed to start?" Logan asked his PA and longtime family friend."She will be here at eight." Molly, his PA replied, amusement lurking in her eyes.Logan frowned, not liking the look she was giving him, Molly and his mother were old friends, having worked for h
Logan had been ensconced in his office for most of the morning, concentrating hard on the paperwork before him, finally deciding to take a break, he threw down his pen, standing up and stretching his cramped muscles.He had forgotten the downside of sitting behind a desk, for long periods.
For Katie, the morning had begun so well, Molly had patiently guided her on the workings and requirements of an assistant.Her nerves had slightly abated, she had yet to meet her boss, according to Molly he was a very busy man, but she would soon meet him, because he never missed lunch.As lunch
Logan watched his mate beneath hooded eyes, it had been over a week that she had stepped into his office, he had spent every possible moment, within her perimeter, without it seeming to be too creepy.Loving the fact, that at first, his mate had seemed so shy, but the more time they spent at the office, the closer and more relaxed she became around him.
It was late in the evening, Katie was at home, gazing out her window, holding a restless Drew in her arms, the weather was just as foul as her mood lately, watching as the sky would light up and then the sound of thunder rumbling in the distance, the rain hitting the window with force.She knew that Drew was in-tuned to her feelings, sensing that all was not well, hence the reason he had been restless, but she could not help on how she was feeling, a lone tear escaping.
The following day, early in the morning, Katie was armed and ready, she had already given her resignation letter to HR, sent an apologetic message to Molly, without stating the true reason for her leaving abruptly, only stating that there was a family emergency, which she needed her undivided attention.And now she was ready to confront the egotistical bastard known as Logan.
"What the hell happened...?" Was the first thing Molly asked, the moment she entered Logan's office.Coming to an abrupt halt, as she stared at a defeat looking young Alpha sitting at his desk.Jace, Logan's best friend and beta, as well as his mate, Nessa, also stood silently next to Molly, hav
Logan stood before Katie's front door, nervously shuffling from one foot to another, taking a look at the neighborhood she lived in, it was a quaint quiet street, with cookie cutter homes, manicured lawns and the sense of community amongst the neighbors.Finally having the courage, he knocked on her door, taking a moment to compose himself, waiting for her to come, he knew she was at home, with his werewolf hearing he could hear the distinct cry of a baby.
