Chapter Ninety-Eight: My boss is a what?
Charity and I stood in front of the open door to Aaron’s apartment. We had finished breakfast and I had helped her clean up the
mess that she left in his kitchen. The pain re lievers had kicked in and my headache was almost all gone.
“Are you sure that I can’t change your mind?” Charity asked, worrying the hem of her shirt with her fingers. “I’m worried that your
guys will blame me for you leaving.”
“Dude, they won’t blame you for me leaving. This is a me thing and no, you can’t change my mind.” I said, pulling her into a hug.
“Besides, it’s not like I’m leaving forever. I’ll be back in a few days. I can’t afford to stay away from work any longer than that.”
“You better. You can’t leave me here alone. I’ll come and find you.” Charity squeezed me tighter before stepping back and
looking at me. “Being mated looks good on you, though. But I get it, you’ve had a lot thrust onto you. I’ll be here when you need
me.”
I stepped back, tugging my purse to the front of me and digging around my bag until I found my keys. “I know and I will. But I’ve
got to go. I know that if I stay here, I won’t be able to sort through my feelings about them with with out everything being all sexy
fun times, and while those are
great. I, I just need some time to breathe.”
“I mean, you could just stay here with me. I’m sure Aaron wouldn’t mind another super hot chick hanging out at his place. Or, or
you could stay at my place?” She sug gested, a hopeful look in her eyes. Charity was giving me puppy dog eyes and it was
starting to wear down my re solve but I knew that I needed to get away. If I didn’t, I would always wonder if what I was feeling
was real or was it just the bond that I shared with my mates.
“Thank you, but I’m pretty sure that they would come over here if I did that. I’ll stay at my parent’s lake house for a few days.
Then I’ll come home. I just need some time to process, well, everything.”
“You know, you could always just not think about it and enjoy the sex.”
“I could, but I have a feeling that they would move me into their pack house and never let me leave the bedroom. And I would
always wonder if it was all real. Plus, I don’t think my boss would be cool with me never coming into work again.” I said, looking
down at the dark, polished hard wood floors.

“Tristian won’t care. But wonder if what’s real? The bond that you guys have, because I can promise you, it’s re al. We spend our
entire lives searching for our mates. They were made to love you and you them.” Charity said and I
knew that she was thinking about Aaron.
“They don’t know me and I don’t know them. Good sex aside, what if we can’t make it work?” I didn’t look up at my friend. It was
a big worry that I was having.
“Til, you’re mated. This isn’t like a human relationship or marriage. They won’t leave you.”
Nodding, I pressed my lips together. If I stayed too much longer, I would end up just going home and staying there. “I should
head out. I need to call Tristian and come up with an excuse to be away from work for a few days.”
“You could just tell him the truth?”
My head snapped up and I looked at Charity. She couldn’t be serious. Looking into her eyes, I knew that she
was.
“Yeah, I’m sure that conversation would go over so well. ‘Hey Tristian, I need to work from home permanently be cause my three
shifter boyfriends won’t let me out of bed. You understand, right?’.” | joked, but her face didn’t change.
“You never know, he might be cooler than you think about it.” Charity said, leaning her hip against the door frame.
“Is, um, is Tristian a shifter?”
Charity didn’t say anything, she just stood with her hip cocked looking at me.
“Charity, really? What is he? Is he some other supernat ural creature that I wouldn’t have believed you if you had told me
yesterday?” I asked, running my fingers on my keys and fidgeting with the furry pom-pom on the key ring.
This had me worried. I mean, I hadn’t known that my best friend was a wolf shifter or even that they were real. Maybe my boss
was too?
“He’s not a shifter, but it’s considered rude to out an other creature to a human.” Charity said and my mouth fell open. Just how
many creatures were in my life that I didn’t know about?
Was everyone lying to me or had I just not noticed it?

“Really, but now I need to know.”
Charity sucked in her cheeks, hallowing them out be fore blowing out a long breath. “You promise you won’t act all weird about
it?”
“No weirder than normal,” I said, tilting my head to this side as I waited for her to tell me. “I’ll treat him just like I al
ways have. He’s my boss still.”
“Okay, so don’t freak out. But you know how he’s like over the top flirty with everyone and I do mean EVERY ONE.”
“Yeah, I always wondered how he hasn’t been fired or ended up in HR on a daily basis.” I said, thinking about my boss. I’d lost
time of how many times he had hit on me and my coworkers.
“Okay, he’s a succubus. A sex demon.”
“Shut up, for real?” | asked, but I knew that she was telling the truth. It all made so much sense now. The way he talked to all of
us, the flirty way he teased me. “I won’t say anything.”
“For real, Til. You can’t.”
“I won’t but geez, this is wild,” I said, shaking my head. “So demons are real.”
“Of course. Tillie, there are so many things out there ! can’t wait to share with you.” Charity said, pushing away from the door. “I
can’t wait to take you camping now that you know about me.”
I nodded, grimacing. I hated camping, but I would go
for Charity. “When I get back, we’ll go camping.”
Charity beamed up at me and we said our goodbyes before I left. When I got to my jeep, I unlocked the door, slipping inside and
adjusting the seat so that I could reach the pedals.
Jason was so much taller than me and it was strange having to adjust my mirrors back to their normal spots. I took my heels off,
tossing them into the back seat as I put the keys into the ignition and started my car.

| sat for a moment before taking my phone out and calling my mom. I needed to let her know that I was going to the lake house
this week. After that, I would call Tristian and try to act as normal as possible to my sex demon boss.
