His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Logan

The thrum of music and the ripples of conversations were deafening, but all I could focus on was Ella, standing defiantly across the patio.

Her impromptu declaration of the engagement party had left me stunned. It felt like something she had concocted on a whim, yet her performance suggested otherwise. Was Ella this good an actress or had she been mulling this over for a while?

“That was bold, even for her,” my wolf mused internally.

“I can’t believe she just… agreed to that,” I muttered under my breath.

“She’s either a damn good actress or… she’s genuinely considering it,” my wolf replied. It was a peculiar dynamic, conversing with the beast within, but it had become second nature.

The way the fabric hugged her curves, the gleam in her eyes, and the graceful manner with which she carried herself took my breath away. My concerns momentarily pushed aside, I was flooded with appreciation for her beauty and spirit.

“You know, if she goes through with this party, you’ll finally meet Edrick Morgan,” my wolf teased, a hint of mischief in his tone.

I had thought of that already. Meeting Edrick Morgan, the renowned CEO of WereCorp, would be a tremendous opportunity. And impressing him? Even better.

A chuckle escaped my lips. “That’s true. Imagine that, me making an impression on Edrick Morgan.”

“You? With your family’s reputation?” The wolf scoffed. “Good luck. Charm may work on some, but Edrick Morgan is not just any wolf.”

I sighed. “Look, it’s not like I’ve had a choice about my family. But I’ve always been able to charm people. You know that. And it’s not just charm; if I can show Edrick my business acumen, the potential I have, then he might be more open.”
