After Elizabeth and Skylar parted ways, Skylar had a free afternoon; hence she took a small trip to the bar to see CJ.“What exactly do you want to know?” CJ asked with a frown while he cleaned the counters. It was early in the afternoon, the bar was empty. Only workers cleaning could be seen.“You know what I mean… I know you have some ideas,” Skylar whispered with a frown and snatched the cleaning cloth from CJ.“Sweetheart, this isn't something you ask just anyone…come with me,” CJ remarked as he straightened up and started walking towards his office. Skylar smiled at the girl to the far left, who was busy arranging the tables.When CJ and Skylar reached the office, he closed the door and locked it. Skylar noticed how serious CJ was and knew he was aware of something.“So you think werewolves exist,” CJ said while making air quotes with his fingers. Skylar rolled her eyes in annoyance and walked to his desk.“Stop pretending…it's obvious you know something…just spill it already,” s
(Lizzy)I fought to keep Mason off. This wasn't what I wanted. He placed me on the table and kissed me more deeply, he bit my lower lip before plunging his tongue into my mouth. He was nothing but a beast.“That's enough. Stop it!” I pushed him away enough to get off the table and wiped my mouth.“You are mine, do you hear that…mine!” He growled and reached for my neck, I was fast to move out of the way.“I'm not yours, do you hear that…who do you think you are!” I yelled while wiping my mouth to get rid of his taste. I glanced up, and I nearly fell when I saw the change in his eyes. He averted his eyes from me, but I sort.“Y-your eyes…how…” I stammered, blinking a few times because I saw it. Mason ran his hands in his hair and let out curses.“You are being delusional,” he muttered and calmed his nerves. I wasn't full, but I saw dark red eyes with a hint of silver.“What are you?” I asked, looking at him with narrowed eyes. It was strange he was cool about werewolves' existence. “T
(Elizabeth)I walked carefully, crossing the wooden bridge. The place was isolated, hidden deep in the forest. It was late in the morning. The sun was rising causing me to shield my eyes with my hand as I walked Jared walking ahead of me.. I met Jared at the bar, it turned out he wasn't a bad person. He was a Werewolf just like me. Apparently those wolves who attacked me were rogues and his wolves.“I have my wolves, they are not here, I'm sure they would love to meet you,” he said as he walked to what I saw as a small bar attached to the living room. “Why did you bring me here?” I asked, looking around the old mansion. It was mostly on the vintage side from the outside. But once we got in. It was luxurious. “Welcome to my home,” Jared said, showing me around. I stood as I scanned the place from top to bottom. I was impressed by the interior design. I turned around and found Jared staring at me.“So, do you like it?” He asked, grinning at me. I had to say he had a beautiful smile.
(Lizzy) I was wondering why Mason called me to the study room. My mom was busy in the kitchen, I didn't wish to make things too difficult for me. It was hard to explain to my mom what Mason was up to. He was not a good man. Yes, he saved my life, but so many things made me feel so suspicious. His identity was unknown. There was no way he had no family. “You asked for me?” I said as soon entered his study and shut the door. He was perusing through the shelves. Even when I asked, he didn't dare turn around.“Sir, did you ask for me?” I asked for the second time and stood away from him. He didn't answer, but kept doing his thing. I was already irritated with him.“This house has rules…one of them is are you not getting involved with random men,” “What do you mean, sir, I think you are…”“My house, my rules…” he cut me off and turned around, he didn't look so happy. His eyes shone with rage.“I'm afraid I won't adhere to your rules” he was a fool to put me in such a situation.“I hate
(Lizzy)I looked at myself in the mirror, the dress I was wearing was a little loose but short. It was a pulled neck, I was doing this to hide my skin from the vicious monster. It seemed Mason had gone a little too far.“Granny, doesn't he have any relatives… I mean, what's he like,” I asked the old lady who just brought laundry to my room. “Dear, Mr. Wilder is a good man…your mother is lucky to have him,” the old woman said more calmly and warmly. I rolled my eyes at her words. I didn't think so. I wondered what made her say that. That man was nothing but a filthy jerk.“Was he married before…how come this house is empty…no little brother or sister or anything,” I asked, knowing full well, all humans had some sort of family background. The old lady seemed to take her time answering because she was now ironing my clothes.“Do you need anything… I'll happily get it done,” instead of answering my questions, the lady said calmly. I never knew of a person who was so calm as the old grann
(Lizzy)I kept myself busy with the different cuisines displayed on the tables for the guests to taste. It turned out Mason's presence stirred something. His presence brought a positive influence because my mom's restaurant was filled to the brim. All I saw were important people. Mason's businessmen seemed a little strange. But I stood in a corner stuffing my face with food while Skylar kept talking nonstop. “I don't think it's a good idea…what if…” Skylar whispered awkwardly, to be honest, I wanted to be worried like her. But I was too tired and filled to say anything. “Why are you worrying, huh… I thought you and Amelia got this covered,” I already accepted the decision Amelia made. Marry Mason Wilder, the famous billionaire, for protection.“We are talking about me, am I his mate…what if I'm not…oh Lizzy, please tell me,” Skylar said, grabbing my hand forcefully. I shrugged her away and placed the plate on the table.“I'm going to mom's office,” I said, having had enough of Skyla
(Lizzy)“Hey you” I looked up and Tara was gawking at me, of course, after that day she had been giving me a cold shoulder. “What?” She said cheekily, I didn't mind her rudeness, but smiled and handed her a cup of coffee.“You look beautiful this morning…your hair looks rich,” I said, blinking mischievously at her, her expression seemed to have softened, but she kept her arrogance as always. “What do you want Lizzy?” She asked and flipped her hair off her shoulders. I wanted to laugh because she liked compliments and I gave her some.“Well, I came in late… I'm sure the boss will need these in an hour…do…” I said while taking out some files from my purse and placing them on her desk. “Can you take these to her,” I added, and she gave me a sour look? Of course, everyone seemed to be afraid of Mason. I asked the receptionist, but she refused, “With that slutty witch there… I don't think so,” Tara said with a sarcastic scoff and picked up her phone. I was taken aback by her words.“Um
(Lizzy) Skylar and I exchanged questionable glances when we heard the distant howling of wolves. She was about to turn off the lights when we heard a light knock on the front door. “Who is it?” I whispered and slowly made my way to the door. “Stop it bitch…what if it's them,” she dragged me back and gripped the baseball bat we took from the kitchen with both hands. Skylar was Melodramatic “Are you expecting anyone?” I asked with narrowed eyes because the person knocked again. This time it was quiet for a while when I elbowed Skylar to do something. It was late at night, who could it be? “Sky, are you in there…is everything okay?” Shortly we heard someone shut and it was CJ's voice we heard. “CJ” we both exclaimed at the same time and rushed to get the door. Skylar opened the door and both of us rushed out, nearly bumping into CJ. “Hey, hey, slow down ladies,” CJ said and held Skylar from falling, I was already scanning around for anything or any smell. “Did you see someone?” I
(Lizzy)I shifted around trying to find the most comfortable position. My body was hurting in the wrong places. Even opening my eyes was a struggle, however, with all my might. I fought to keep myself alive. Pushed the sheets away and slowly pushed myself until I was sitting upright“Mmm, what time is it?” I muttered while rubbing my eyes when “Ahh!” I nearly jumped out of bed when I found someone sitting in front of me, “What are you doing?” I was too frightened but cleared my throat and moved away from him.“A little thank you will be nice…here drink up,” Mason said with a frown and shoved a bowl in my hands. “Ouch,” it was hot, I almost dropped it but managed to hold it tightly “What are you doing here?” I asked hesitantly, not sure what he was doing in my room.“You don't remember anything?” Mason asked with raised brows, I shook my head, I didn't recall a thing. Scanning Mason, he seemed put together, wearing a navy-blue suit. “You should stay at home…don't go out,” he said wit
Mason was aware of what Elizabeth was doing. It was sickening to feel a certain thirty for pleasure, and she was having it worse.“Ohh, no…oh,” she tossed and turned while he cradled her in his arms. The only way to quench her thirst was to make love to her. “Sweetheart, calm yourself…” he coaxed while pressing his lips to her forehead. Her skin was as cold as ice, she was sweating so much that he knew he had to do this.“M-make…make love to me,” she gasped and pushed herself up. Tears lingered in her eyes as she slipped her hands into her shirt.“Water…” she muttered while touching him, feeling his hard chest and leaning down to kill him.“I know… Stay still,” he whispered while trying to settle her down. She was uncontrollable, gasping, and moaning when he touched her.“Be good…lie here,” he muttered when he carefully made her lie on the couch, his hands secured to the sides, so he could trap her in place.“Relax baby… I'll take care of you,” Mason whispered and slowly moved away,
(Lizzy)“A-are you sure you are okay?” Skylar asked and handed me a glass of water. I knew I was fine. I nodded and took the glass, although my hands were shaky. I managed to grip the cold glass tightly. “I don't think so…you are sweating and trembling,” she said with arched brows and felt my forehead with the back of her hand. Of course, I was fine.“Hey, don't make this weird… I'm perfectly fine…look,” I said after gulping down the entire glass of water. I slammed the glass on the table and smiled at her.“Okay, anyway… I thought you had work…why not at the office?” Skylar asked and continued packing her clothes. She told me she was moving in with CJ, and I was happy to help her pack her stuff. After visiting Jared. It seemed we had a common enemy. Maybe I could open up to him. Then I feared they would understand me.“What's up, you seem lost,” Skylar's voice jerked me back to my senses. I glanced up and sat down for a while. “Nothing, I'm just worried,” I said, letting out an exh
(Lizzy)To my luck, when I woke up. I didn't find Mason in my room. My mom already left for her flower shop.“Damn this'' I muttered while fighting to zip up my jeans. It was a beautiful Saturday, the sun was up and crispy. I got a call from Jared, and he wanted to see me. Since I had no work. I decided to see him.“Come on…when did you get small” I felt frustrated trying to wear jeans, but it seemed small. Either way, I tossed it away and settled for some loose ripped jeans, black ankle boots and a black crop shirt showing my toned belly.“This should do,” I was delighted to go out after a long time. I missed Jared and his wolves. Grabbing my backpack and phone and I stormed out of the room. It was still in the morning, I rushed towards the stairs without minding how fast I was running when.“Hey!” I bumped into someone and that person was Mason. He caught me before I could fall.“I'm sorry…” I said and managed to get away from him. Glancing up, I found Mason staring at me with narro
Skylar stripped off her jacket and kept it on the couch. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked around the apartment CJ said was small and useless. “Are you kidding me!” The words finally escaped her lips as she turned to CJ. The man stripped off his coat and tossed it on the couch.“What? You don't like it?” He asked in between chuckles and picked up a report. In no time, the lights went on, exposing nothing but a breathtaking living room. For a bachelor, the house was well-kept.“This is insane…” Skylar said, and rushed to check out some statues kept to the sides as decorations. From the ceiling to the lighting and the floor and furniture. She was raised in a small town. A small house where they shared a room and everything. “This…oh my… I can't believe this,” she was afraid of touching anything, let alone sitting on the couch. She was afraid she was too dirty. Seeing her reaction, CJ chuckled and half sat on the armrest.“So you like the living room…let's check out the kitchen,”
(Lizzy)“Ha! A little here and here…and wow!” I exclaimed and showed the two how I was cleaning the desk and arranging the files neatly. Mason and Mia didn't utter a word but kept looking at me as if I were insane.“There and there…put it nicely,” I said while stacking the files together when suddenly, I knocked over a glass vase which shattered to the floor into pieces.“Oh no,” I was screwed, the vase looked expensive with exotic flowers. The water splashed everywhere and on the files that fell.“What are you doing?” It was Mia who asked coldly while I lowered down to pick up the file. Unfortunately, Mason beat me to it before I could touch the broken glass.“Leave it,” he said and shoved my hands away. I felt embarrassed, I stepped away from Mason and watched as he picked up the glass pieces.“How clumsy are you… Mas be careful,” Mia said and rested her hand on Mason's back. Deep down, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.“I didn't mean it… I'll get the cleaner,” I said apologetically
“You opened early today?” Skylar asked while arranging the tables and chairs. She came to the bar earlier than usual because she wanted to apologize to CJ for what happened a few nights ago.“Well, aside from being a bar. It's partly a coffee shop…going to earn extra cash” CJ remarked with a wink, rendering Skylar helpless. CJ was a cool person. Despite how rude she was to him before. He didn't hold any grudges.“Can I…well, work here… I know it's a lot to ask but…” Skylar stammered, not sure how to ask him for a job again. Working a double shift would be nice, she could earn enough money for herself.“Sky,” CJ said and came to stand behind her. Skylar was a bit uncomfortable having him so close to her. Not like he was strange, just that she has had a fair share of wolves.“I understand… I'm asking too much,” she smiled and proceeded to clean the next table. Why did she feel so bad at his refusal? Either way, she had to understand how things worked.“I didn't mean what you are thinki
(Lizzy)My heart was thumping loudly, I went missing for a night and came back. My mom was okay with it. It seemed Mason had full control over her. I freshened up and decided to go downstairs. My mom was in the kitchen. It hurt me to see how she was dedicated to the man when he was nothing but a liar.“Sweetheart…serve Mr. Wilder his morning coffee,” my mom said and pointed at the coffee maker. I was a little hesitant. So much was happening under her nose, and I swore to Mason not to say anything. “Mom, do you want to do this? I mean, stay here and…and be his wife?” I asked while making coffee for Mason. It was enough that my mom was sacrificing everything for me. Including marrying a total stranger. “Sweetie…he's a good man…the fact that he was willing to take us in…shows how kind-hearted he is,” I heard my mom say calmly. I was pretty sure my mom was deceived by Mason's good looks and honey-coated words.“But your happiness… It matters to me more than…” I turned around and said,
(Lizzy)I escaped from the bloodthirsty wolves, limping on one paw with blood dripping from my neck. My eyes were blurry. I managed to escape, but I was injured. My wolf was little and couldn't take the torture. The forest was dark and thickened with fog. The trees in the forest were malady-brown. Grains of poison begrimed the bark and gleamed like witch dust. The loud howls haunted the sooty coppices, salivating over their prey and smearing the blood over their heavy faces. The decaying air and stifling atmosphere provided the perfect abode for those who worshiped the darkness rather than the light. I was in wolf form, I could smell it all, my paws digging deep into the muddy puddles as I galloped away seeking a safe place to hide. In the dense shadows, spiders clutched their snare strings. My alert eyes picked up the sounds, even the littlest ones. My little wolf was getting exhausted. It wasn't like most times I got the strength to run throughout the night.This time it was diffe
