Brienne had no idea how they made it to the hotel; they had been too consumed with kissing, hungry for each other's lips. The man pinned her against the wall and locked the door behind them.

"Hmmm," Brienne breathed as she gently pushed him aside.

"Slow down," she whispered softly. The man, breathing heavily, gently cupped her face in his hands. Their eyes met—her green ones full of warmth, his blue ones intense. He slowly lifted Brienne, and she wrapped her arms and legs around him, holding him close.

"Are you sure you want this, doll?" the man asked. "You can back out now," he added as he slowly walked toward the king-sized bed. Brienne stared at him, taking in his defined features. His jawline was chiseled, his cheekbones high and prominent. His straight, well-proportioned nose complemented his other features. His thick eyebrows framed intense eyes that held a confident gaze. He was undeniably handsome.

"Are you done staring, doll?" he asked, his lips curling upward. Brienne gulped and looked away, but he gently turned her face back to him.

"Answer me," he said firmly. "Do you still want to do this?" he asked.

"Y-Yes," Brienne replied. The man laid her down on the bed, and she suddenly felt shy. Who would have thought she'd end up in bed with a stranger after breaking up with her cheating ex-boyfriend?

"What are you thinking about?" he asked as he began kissing her legs. Brienne's breath hitched.

"I'm thinking about your name," she replied. The man looked up at her and smiled.

"Raven," he said.

"Like the bird?" Brienne asked. Raven burst out laughing, leaving Brienne with a confused expression.

"Yes, babydoll, like the bird," Raven replied, kissing the back of her hand. It was the first time anyone had made that comparison, and he couldn't deny that it amused him. Brienne bit her bottom lip, and seeing this, Raven immediately placed his thumb on her lips.

"Don't do that," he uttered softly. "You're tempting me," he added. But when Raven removed his finger, Brienne unconsciously did it again. Raven growled, surprising Brienne, before pulling her into a deep, passionate kiss, as if he were drawing out her very soul with the intensity of it.

"R-Raven," she whispered between their kisses.

"Say you don't want this while I still have control over myself," he whispered in her ear. Brienne suddenly felt a wave of heat and pulled Raven closer.

"I want this," Brienne replied. Raven felt his eyes flash golden. He kissed her neck, eagerly cupped her breast, and tore her clothes away.

Raven kissed her chest and removed her bra. Brienne gasped and moaned as he began playing with her nipples. He teased her with his touch, and Brienne couldn't help but crave for more.

"Raven," she called out his name. Raven cursed under his breath. He had bedded many women before, but the desire he felt for the woman beneath him was overwhelming. He had wanted her from the moment he helped her, but he wasn't the kind of man to sleep with a woman without her consent, especially when she was drunk. When Brienne initiated it, Raven didn't hesitate to bring her back to the hotel he owned.

"Yes, Bree?" Raven asked as he licked her nipple.

"M-More, please," she said shyly.

Raven felt his arousal intensify and began sucking her nipples alternately, determined to give her the pleasure she deserved.

Raven trailed kisses from her chest down to her p*ssy. He removed her underwear, and Brienne quickly covered herself, biting her lips.

"Remove your hand, babydoll," he said. "Let me taste you," he added.

"R-Raven, no, it's dirty," she protested, but Raven ignored her plea and gently removed her hands. He then began licking her p*ssy.

Brienne couldn't help but moan, struggling to keep control as the pleasure overwhelmed her. She grabbed Raven's hair and arched her back as his tongue teased her entrance. When Raven pushed a finger inside, she gasped in delight.

"Ohhh!"

Raven started thrusting his finger in and out of Brienne, and all she could do was moan his name. As she felt something building inside her, Brienne began to tremble.

"T-There's something wrong with me," she whispered.

"It's okay, baby. Cum, babydoll. Cum for me," Raven urged, and Brienne came in his hand. She panted heavily, but Raven wasn't done yet.

He stood up and removed his pants, revealing his already hard d*ck, ready to f*ck the gorgeous woman beneath him. Brienne gulped at the sight of how big Raven was.

"Will that fit me?" she whispered.

"Of course, baby," Raven replied as he slowly inserted his hard shaft into Brienne. She clung tightly to him, her sharp nails digging into his back as he pushed himself deeper.

"R-Raven!" Brienne called out.

"It's okay, baby, relax," Raven reassured her, but he cursed under his breath when he saw the blood on the sheet. He hadn't realized Brienne was a virgin. He had assumed that because she had a boyfriend, she wasn't anymore. Guilt washed over him as he saw her tears and heard her little sobs. Raven kissed her forehead, then down to her nose, her cheeks, and finally her lips.

"I'm sorry," he said softly. "I'll pull out, babygirl," he added.

"No!" Brienne yelled, looking up at him. "No, don't pull it out. I can take it," she insisted. Raven sighed and gently wiped her tears away.

"Okay, baby," he said. Raven waited for Brienne to adjust to his size, and when she gave him the signal to continue, he did, starting off very slow. Raven thrust his d*ck in and out of Brienne's p*ssy.

"Aaahhh! R-Raven!" Brienne moaned as Raven's thrusts became faster and deeper. The loud slapping of their skin, along with their moans and groans, echoed through the room.

"Raven... almost..." she gasped.

"I know, baby. Let's do it together," Raven said, intertwining their fingers. With one hard, deep thrust, Raven released inside her. Horrified, he realized he had come inside her.

"F*ck," he whispered. Caught up in the pleasure, he had forgotten to use protection. Brienne was simply irresistible to him. Raven looked at Brienne, who was already snoring.

He grabbed a tissue from the table and cleaned her up, then gave her his shirt and covered her with a blanket.

"Sleep tight, Bree. I'll take responsibility for everything," he said, kissing her forehead. Raven lay next to her, pulling her closer into his embrace, closing his eyes, and letting sleep take over him.

Brienne woke up with a massive headache and immediately massaged her temple, hoping to relieve the symptoms. Not only her head but her whole body ached. As she looked around, memories of last night flooded back to her. She glanced at Raven beside her and let out a nervous chuckle at the sight of their clothes on the floor.

"What did I do?" she whispered. Gently removing Raven's hand from her tummy, Brienne stood up. She found her bag on the floor and quickly grabbed it. She fished her phone out of her bag and saw fifty missed calls and texts from Janice.

"Oh, God! Brienne, you crazy woman! Why did you give up your virginity to a stranger?" she murmured. Suddenly, her phone rang, and when Brienne saw Janice's name, she immediately answered the call.

"Nice..."

"Where the hell on earth are you?! I woke up in this empty hotel room without you by my side," Janice said. Brienne bit her bottom lip, a habit of hers whenever she felt embarrassed.

"Nice..."

"What?!" Janice yelled.

"I'm sorry, where are you? I'll come to you and explain everything," she whispered, putting on her underwear and bra.

"I'm sorry too, Bree. It just scared me that you weren't with me. I thought something bad had happened to you," Janice said. Brienne turned around and stared at the man. Something had definitely happened to her, but it wasn’t bad—maybe a little dangerous.

"Text me the location; I'll see you soon, Nice," she said and ended the call. Limping, Brienne moved beside the man. Fortunately, the shirt was big enough to serve as a dress that reached above her knees. She touched Raven's face and quickly left the room, bringing everything with her. Brienne didn’t wake Raven because she knew it would be the last time she saw him. It was just a one-night stand and nothing more.

Brienne left the hotel in a hurry and got into a taxi. Ten minutes later, she arrived at the hotel where Janice was staying. Janice immediately spotted her and pulled her inside the room.

"What happened to you? Why are you wearing a man's shirt?" she asked. Brienne sat on the bed and clasped her hands together.

"I slept with someone last night," she confessed.

"You what?!" Janice screamed in surprise. "What the hell, Bree?! Are you out of your mind?! What if he's a killer?" she added.

"I'm sorry," Brienne said, bowing her head. "I don't know what got into me, but when we danced last night, I felt something," she added.

"Bree, I know your breakup might have influenced what happened last night, but that was dangerous—sleeping with a man you didn't know," Janice said as she sat next to her.

"I'm sorry, Nice. I'm sure he won't search for me. It's not like we'll see each other again," Brienne said.

"You better hope so," Janice replied. Then, raising her eyebrows up and down, she asked, "How was it?"

"It was... great," Brienne answered. "He's so dreamy, Nice, and a gentleman!" she added, her cheeks blushing. It seemed like the pain from her breakup with Jasper had faded after sleeping with Raven.

"Oh, someone got some good D last night," Janice said, making Brienne blush even more as she remembered the passionate night they shared.

"It's not that..."

"It's alright, Bree. You and Jasper broke up because of his cheating ass," Janice said.

"Am I wrong, Nice? I didn't give up my virginity to Jasper for the two years we were together because I was saving it for our wedding. But just one night after we broke up, I gave it to someone I don't even know," she said.

"What you did wrong was sleeping with a stranger, which could have ended dangerously, Bree. But having sex with someone you like? That's fine. Now, let's go home. We still have work, and we're going to be late," she said. Brienne heaved a sigh. Oddly enough, Janice's words comforted her.

Meanwhile, Raven woke up to an empty bed. No Bree next to him. He groaned and sat up, grabbing his ringing phone.

"Alpha," the caller said.

Alpha—the highest position in a pack of the Children of the Moon, also known as werewolves. It is a title given to the strongest werewolf who will lead the pack for generations. And the mighty Alpha who commands the Crescent Stone pack, the largest pack in the City of Flogate, is Raven.

"Carter, report what happened," Raven said while putting on his pants. When he searched for his shirt, he couldn't help but smile, noticing it was missing. Bree, whose dress he had destroyed, must have worn his shirt.

"Nothing, Alpha. After we brought the woman to the hotel as you instructed, the boys and I returned to the pack," Carter reported.

"Good. I'll be in my office. Bring me another pair of clean clothes, Carter," Raven ordered.

"Yeah, yeah. So, how was your night?" Raven's Beta asked.

The Beta holds the second-highest position in the pack and is the one the Alpha trusts the most, serving as their right-hand person.

"It was f*cking great, but she left," Raven said, shaking his head. He wanted to know Bree more, but seeing how eagerly she left the room ended that.

"What? Oh, come on! That's not the Raven I know," Carter said, laughing. Raven sighed.

"F*ck you. I want you to find her," he said. They were compatible, and Raven knew it. The sex they had last night was incredible, and he regretted not waking up first.

"Fine, give me the name," Carter said.

"Bree," Raven answered as he put on the robe.

"That's it?" Carter asked.

"Yeah, that's it," Raven replied.

"F*ck, thanks for the info, Rave," Carter muttered. "Okay, I'll let the boys know. We'll find your princess, Prince Charming," he added. Raven rolled his eyes and ended the call. As he was about to leave the room, he noticed something shiny on the bed. He walked over and picked it up—it was an earring. Raven's lips curled into a smile as he slipped the earring into his pocket.

He left the room, and the hotel attendant standing nearby immediately followed, knowing the VIP guest had just stayed.

"Did you notice if the woman I was with left the building?" Raven asked.

"We haven’t noticed, Alpha, but we can check the CCTV for you," the hotel attendant said.

"No, it’s okay," Raven replied.

"Forgive us, Alpha," the attendant said.

"It’s alright. Just do your job properly. I’ll send Carter at the end of the month," Raven said. The hotel attendant nodded, and the chauffeur handed him his car keys. He thanked his employee and got into the car. Raven drove to his office, where he would meet his Beta.

A month has already passed since Brienne and Raven shared a passionate night. Brienne went back to work.

"Hey, Bree. Let's go have lunch. The others have already left," Janice asked. Brienne stopped typing and looked at her friend.

"It's already lunch time?" she asked, surprised. Brienne was so engrossed in working that she didn't see the time.

"Yes, girly," Janice replied. Brienne removed her work eyeglasses and groaned when her phone vibrated and displayed his ex-boyfriend's name.

"He hasn't stopped calling you?" Janice asked. Brienne pouted her lips and shook her head. "Damn, your ex-boyfriend's a stalker," she added.

"He apologized. He said he didn't mean anything he said about me that night. Jasper wanted me to give him another chance," Brienne said, seeing the call finally end.

"In his f*cking face! What chance? He lost it the moment he cheated on you," Janice angrily said. "Tell me you won't give him a chance," she added.

"I won't," Brienne said and stood up.

"Good, he's not worth it," she said. "Let's go to the cafeteria," she said. Brienne nodded, and they went down to the office cafeteria. When they arrived, there's a lot of commotion among the employees.

"What's happening?" Brienne asked.

"I don't know," Janice said. "Hey! What's happening?" she added, asking an employee passing by.

"A handsome man," she said. Janice and Brienne looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

"Let's go and eat," Janice said. Brienne nodded, and they went to get their food. To avoid the crowded area, they went to the corner. The two were enjoying their meal while talking when a man stopped behind Brienne. Janice stopped and looked at Brienne.

"Look behind you," she mouthed. Confused, Brienne slowly turned her head and dropped her spoon when she saw who it was.

"Hello, doll," his deep voice whispered in her ear. "Meet me in the last room before the smoking area. I will be waiting," he added and left. Brienne looked around and was horrified to see all eyes on her.

"Oh my gosh, Bree! Who was that?!" Janice asked. Brienne hurriedly cleaned up her things and bit her lower lips.

"I'm going to explain later, Nice. I have to go," she said and left the cafeteria. Brienne pushed the elevator button and pushed the floor to where the smoking area was. When she arrived, she immediately stopped at the last room. Just as Brienne was about to knock, the door opened, beckoning her inside.

Pinned against the wall, Brienne couldn't help but scream a little in surprise. She then noticed Raven smirking.

"Nice to finally see you again, babygirl," Raven said.

"H-How? How did you know where I was? Are you stalking me?" Brienne asked and pushed him away, her heart beating loudly in her chest. Raven raised his visitor ID and began walking towards her.

"I just happened to know the CEO, not knowing you work here," he replied, but his statement was not accurate. For over a month, his beta search for Brienne with a little information he got from Raven. Then, Carter finally found her, working in the accounting firm owned by an allied pack. With this information, Raven took action and went to the office.

"What do you want?" Brienne asked, flinching when Raven touched her face. She glanced at him, and his blue eyes stared back at her.

"Like I said, I'm a visiting guest planning to invest in this company," he answered. "And I'm glad I was able to see you," he added, making Brienne gulp.

"Would you let me kiss you?" Raven asked. Brienne felt so conflicted. She wanted to leave the room, but the other part of her wanted to stay and kiss the man in front of her. "Babygirl, answer me," he said.

"Y-Yes," she said. Hearing Brienne's answer, Raven pressed his lips to hers. It started slow until it became needy. Brienne moaned when Raven put his tongue inside of her mouth. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck while he lifted her up, putting her on the empty desk.

"R-Raven," Brienne called his name when she felt Raven begin touching and unbuttoning her uniform.

"Hmm?" Raven said, and his hand found Brienne's breast and played with her nipple.

"R-Raven, we can't!" Brienne said and pushed Raven away and fixed her uniform. Raven muttered curses under his breath, then assisted Brienne.

"I'm sorry, I was out of control," he said. Brienne heaved a sigh.

"I forgive you, but don't do it again. We are in the office for Christ's sake. Someone could have caught us," Brienne said, pouting. Raven tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled.

"You know I wouldn't let them hear nor catch us," he said. That's why he picked this room. Raven had already spoken with Johnson in exchange for his investment in the company. "But I can still see you, right?" he added, leaning forward.

"Y-Yes?" Brienne replied uncertainly. Raven took his phone out and gave it to Brienne.

"What am I going to do with this?" she asked, eyebrows furrowed.

"Put your number," Raven said. Brienne typed her number as Raven requested and returned the phone. Raven called the number, and when Brienne's phone vibrated inside her pocket, she took it out and made Raven see it.

"Good, it is really your number," he said.

"Yes," Brienne replied, stepping down from the desk. "What are you going to do now?" she added.

"Touring the building, I guess," Raven said.

"Okay," Brienne said. "I'll get going. The lunch break is over," she added, fixing her skirt.

"I'll call you later," Raven said. Brienne nodded her head and left the room. When she was outside, Brienne clasped her chest. Her heart was beating faster. Why did she have to see Raven here in all places? Brienne hurriedly went back to her department and sat on her swivel chair.

"Girly, who was that handsome dude?" Janice asked and sat beside her. "You should have seen the faces of the women in other departments. They were envy," she added. Brienne turned towards her.

"Nice... he's the man I slept with," she whispered to avoid listening ears around them.

"What the f*ck?" Janice exclaimed. "Girly, you're in deep trouble. What is he doing here?" she added.

"He said he's here as an investor. What should I do, Nice?" Brienne asked for Janice's advice.

"What else? Of course avoid him at all costs," Janice said. Brienne bit her bottom lips anxiously. She couldn't do that anymore. She even gave him her number. Avoiding him is not going to work anymore.
