Unraveling The Sun's Shadows

Chapter One - The Beta and the Boss

Slowly, he twisted the door knob with great care as he quietly entered the dark bedroom. He takes slow strides trying to suppress any creaking noise that might disturb the sleeping occupants inside.

He breathes with relief when he heard the soft snores coming from the bed.

His gray eyes fell on the bodies sprawled across the mattress, bedsheets and blankets messily draped over them but failed to conceal the purple and red blotches that painted their skin.

Taehyung took a shaky breath and moves beside the sleeping woman, dark hair cascading down her beautiful face, some strands sticking on a broad and muscular chest.

He was contemplating whether to wake the female from her deep slumber, fearing he might receive a negative response from her. Taehyung was used to walking in and witnessing his boss's morning aftermaths but the reaction of his partners were the hardest to deal with.

Since there were no other options and with the young master's work that's been piling up in his office, Taehyung swallowed his fears and lightly tap on to the woman's arm. Still no reaction, he slightly nudged her, earning a disgruntled reply.

"What?!" She hissed to the blond man in front of her. Thankfully, his boss is still sleeping soundly and that the woman wasn't as aggressive like the others.

"Good morning, Miss Yuri. I deeply apologize if I interrupted you from your precious sleep. As much as I would want you to be with the young master a little bit longer, I hate to inform you that you need to get going as he has a lot of work in store for today." Taehyung politely greeted, trying his best to be as sweet as possible when in fact, he wants to rip her off from the Alpha and drag her out just to be done with it.

"And what if I don't? Hmm?" She retorted back, cuddling deeper into the sleeping Alpha's warmth.

Taehyung expected that since it was his doing why she was here in the first place. He had no other choice but to call for a random person to sleep with his boss as he clumsily forgot the Alpha's scheduled ruts.

They were too engrossed with their new product launching that he did not remember the Alpha's physical needs.

"Miss Yuri, I'm afraid it would be best if you leave now. Believe me, it's better if you listen to me rather than be chased out by the young master as he has the tendency to kick his 'sleeping partners' out without a second thought." Taehyung said, wooing her with his usual script, the words slipping out from his mouth effortlessly.

"If I may, allow me to escort you out. I have prepared a fresh set of clothes for you. I had also asked one of the maids to brew you a cup of coffee before you leave. So, what do you say, Miss Yuri?" He flashed a gentle smile like he always does to charm their way out and as expected, this made her blush and unknowingly accepted his outstretched hand.

Yuri didn't know why but she was immediately mesmerized by this man's beauty that she let him assist her out like a spellbound puppet. Yuri couldn't keep her eyes off of him as he led her towards an empty bedroom with a giant walk-in closet, there hang a silky dress and a pair of expensive flats to which her eyes marvelled over before changing.

Taehyung cautiously eyed the black-haired beauty who was sitting on one of the stools in the kitchen and sipping the cup of black liquid prepared by one of the servants. She spun on her seat to face him, displaying a coy smile that matches her pink-tinted cheeks to which he quickly responded with a small smile.
