Leandor told me staring patiently for me to move. I brought my knees up to my chest and hugged them lightly. "Then go. No ones stopping you." I reminded him. He growled and went to grab me. I raised an eyebrow and somehow it stopped him. I don't know why but it did. Not only that but everyone seemed to stiffen as well. "Are you testing my patience?" He asked with a menacing undertone to his voice. "Well seeing as you'd fail any test I give you, then yes I'm testing your patience." I replied sarcastically. He growled at me and pulled me to my feet in one motion. I strained to keep my composure. Two angry wolves is something to reckon with especially one being an alpha. "Are you calling me stupid?" "Well I'm definitely not calling you smart, now am I?" I smirked crossing my arms. Cover by: SilverAmy Copyright 2014 Completed 2019

* "It is finally time for me, King of the Alphas, to come out of the darkness of my misery and awaken. For she is calling for me." * Description in book.

Working for a perfectionist man was Vior's worst nightmare. She had no choice but to acquiesce, enduring his constant insults and criticisms for four months. It was her internship that kept her there; otherwise, she would have resigned right away. Freedom awaited her in just a few months, and that was the only thing keeping her sane. ... Rowdy, as a head chef couldn't bear any mistake from his workers. Everything had to be perfect, down to the tiniest detail. He had listed a strict set of rules for his employees to follow. These rules posed no problem for most of them, but were a constant hurdle for Vior, his messy match, who always seemed to get on his nerves. Pointing out her every silly mistake became a chore, draining his energy. He hated imperfections. It infuriated him that despite her flaws, she seemed to find happiness, a state that forever eluded him. ... Four months wasn't a long time, yet within that timeframe, they learned a surprising amount from each other. Rowdy, frustrated by Vior's infectious cheer despite her "messiness," and Vior, challenged by Rowdy's relentless standards, both discovered a profound truth: happiness doesn't lie in being flawless, and sometimes, mistakes can be the secret ingredient to success.
