Alexa stood in front of her wardrobe, scanning the rows of clothes with a critical eye. She wanted to make a good impression on her first day as a secretary, but she didn't want to overdo it either. After a few minutes of deliberation, she settled on a black pencil skirt and a green blouse, pairing them with matching green shoes. She took a step back to admire herself in the mirror, satisfied with the professional yet stylish look.Downstairs, Leonard was waiting for her, his eyes widening in shock as he took in her appearance. For a moment, he just stood there, speechless. Alexa felt a flutter in her chest as she wondered if she had overdone it after all.Finally, Leonard found his voice. "Wow, Alexa, you look stunning," he said, his eyes still fixed on her.Alexa smiled, feeling a blush rise to her cheeks. "Thank you, Leonard. I was hoping to make a good impression."Leonard's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he spoke again. "You have no idea how proud I am of you, Alexa. I
Alpha Valle stepped into the human world, his dreadlocks a wild tangle down his back. His animal skin loincloth and feathered headdress marked him as a stranger in this strange land. The air was thick with the smells of smoke and metal, a far cry from the crisp ice of his kingdom.As he emerged from the alleyway, a cacophony of car horns and shouts assaulted his ears. The humans rushed past him, their faces a blur of disgust, mockery, and jest. Alpha's eyes widened in wonder, his grip on his spear tightening."What sorcery is this?" he muttered, staring up at the towering buildings that seemed to touch the sky.A group of humans, their skin a deep brown like the rich soil of his kingdom, pointed and laughed at him. "Look at this dude's hair!" one of them jeered. "And what's with the animal print onesie?"Alpha's face darkened, his hand on the shaft of his spear. But he restrained himself. He took a deep breath and approached the group. "Greetings, people of this land," he said, his vo
Alexa stepped out of her sleek, silver Audi Q5, the warm sunlight glinting off the car's luxurious curves. She had worked tirelessly for Leonard for four months, and her hard work had paid off - literally. The substantial paycheck she received allowed her to indulge in luxuries she had once only dreamed of, including this stunning vehicle.With a sense of pride and accomplishment, Alexa walked towards the daycare, her high heels clicking on the pavement. She pushed open the door and was immediately greeted by the sound of children's laughter and chatter. Her eyes scanned the room, searching for her five-month-old daughter, Rahilla.As she entered, Rahilla's eyes locked onto hers, and she stretched out her tiny arms, giggling excitedly. "Mama!" she cooed.Alexa's heart melted as she scooped up Rahilla, showering her with kisses. "Hey, my sweet darling! How was your day?"Rahilla giggled and squirmed in her arms, clearly happy to see her mother.As Alexa bid the staff goodbye, Rahilla c
Leonard stood frozen, his mouth agape, struggling to process the words that had just tumbled out of Alexa’s mouth. The soft light in the dim room cast a warm glow on her face, but it only heightened the chill that crept up his spine. “Supernatural being?” he repeated incredulously, his mind racing.He turned to her, searching her face for any sign that she was joking, but the seriousness etched in her features told him otherwise. “You’re trying to tell me that there’s… a monster out there after you?” He couldn't keep the disbelief from creeping into his voice, as if merely saying the words out loud could somehow make this all more real.Alexa let out a deep sigh, rubbing her temples as if warding off a coming headache. “You’re missing the point, Leonard. He’s not a monster,” she insisted, her eyes pleading for him to understand. “You’ve got to see he’s more complicated than that.”Leonard furrowed his brow, the confusion deepening. “From everything you just told me about that Alpha Va
In the bright and lively restaurant, Alpha Valle sat at a cheerful table, excited to enjoy his meal. Suddenly, a familiar and delicious smell floated through the busy air, making his nose twitch with recognition. The scent belonged to his dear Luna, Alexa.“Ah, the sweet aroma of Alexa,” he said quietly to himself, as his stomach rumbled in agreement. “She must have come here before I did.”For a moment, Valle forgot about his food. He decided he needed to find his beloved Luna right away. He quickly took a large spoonful of his meal, nearly swallowing it whole, and then pushed the plate away from him.“I have to find her,” he stated with determination in his voice. “There’s no time to waste!”With a strong sense of purpose, Valle jumped up from his seat and dashed out of the restaurant. He moved quickly through the lively streets, following the faint and disappearing scent of Alexa. However, with every step he took, a feeling of frustration washed over him.“She has to be close, but
"Hey! Alexa? I'll be back. I need to take this call," Leonard said as he stepped away to answer a business call. The call lasted longer than he thought it would, but eventually, he hung up and returned to Alexa.As he walked back into the park, he gasped. Alexa stood still, her eyes wide in shock, staring straight ahead. He went to her and gently shook her. "Alexa, what's wrong? What happened?"Her voice trembled as she whispered, "He's here... he's here..."Leonard's face showed confusion. He tried to figure out what was wrong. "Who’s here, Alexa? You have to tell me. What’s going on?"Instead of answering, Alexa hurriedly started to gather her things, looking very worried. "We have to leave! Now!"Leonard's heart raced seeing her panic. He slowly began to realize what was happening. "It's Alpha Valle, isn’t it?"For a moment, Alexa looked into his eyes before quickly looking away. She didn’t say anything, but her fear made it clear. "Alexa, calm down. We need to think this through.
Alexa had been starting to feel a little more at ease. It had been three days since she last felt the presence of Alpha Valle. The fear she usually felt about him appearing out of nowhere and taking her away was fading. She began to think that he might not be after her anymore. Maybe she had just been too paranoid, like Leonard suggested.Normally, Alpha Valle would have found her and dragged her away already, so since he hadn’t shown up, perhaps he really wasn’t looking for her. Following Leonard’s advice, Alexa had been staying at home, avoiding work, but her small apartment felt really stifling. She needed to get out of the house, so she decided it was the right time to go grocery shopping. She quickly changed into something comfortable—a faded denim jacket, a plain white t-shirt, and some old jeans—and stepped out the door. She hoped this little outing would give her a break from the constant anxiety she felt.As she walked down her porch with more confidence, Alexa’s eyes widene
Alexa paced back and forth in her living room, feeling restless and angry. How could Alpha Valle find her and have the nerve to give her orders? Who did he think he was, acting like he could control what she did? After everything they had been through, how could he think she would just follow him willingly?In her frustration, she muttered to herself, each word filled with indignation. "How dare he tell me what to do? What gives him the right to act like this? After everything we've gone through, why would he think I would just go along with him?"Meanwhile, Leonard quietly walked into the room, clearing his throat to let her know he was there. Alexa was startled and turned to face him, her anger still visible on her face."Alexa? What’s got you so upset? You didn’t even notice when I walked in," he said, looking surprised."Valle found me, Leonard. He tracked me down to my home and ordered me to go with him. I can’t believe he could find me here, and then he had the nerve to demand t
Alexa sat cross-legged on the plush carpet of her living room. The late afternoon sunlight poured through the windows, casting a warm glow on the array of colorful blocks and stuffed animals scattered around her. Rahilla, her baby, sat snugly in her lap, his bright eyes fixed on the animated characters dancing across the television screen. His giggles, paired with the occasional babble, filled the room with joy, a melody that softened Alexa’s heart. "Look at that, Rahilla!" Alexa pointed to the screen, mimicking the exaggerated expressions of the cartoon characters. Rahilla clapped his tiny hands and squealed in delight, making Alexa chuckle softly. Moments like these were her haven—simple, peaceful, and filled with the innocence of her son’s laughter.However, that tranquility was short-lived. The vibrant cartoon flickered off, replaced by the serious face of a news anchor. The sudden shift jarred Alexa, and her heart thudded in her chest as the grave voice filled the room. "We nee
Alexa’s new home was a small, charming cottage at the far edge of a quiet neighborhood. It had an inviting appearance, with soft beige walls and a pastel blue door that seemed to brighten the entire street. A neatly trimmed garden led up to the entrance, filled with colorful flowers swaying gently in the breeze. As Alexa stepped inside, a wave of warmth and comfort washed over her. The living room was cozy, painted in soothing shades of cream and brown. A soft sofa rested near the fireplace, and a rocking chair sat in the corner, its rhythmic creak promising peaceful evenings. Sunlight filtered through lace curtains, casting a golden glow over the polished hardwood floor. The faint scent of lavender lingered in the air, a touch Alexa had added to make the house feel like home. Carrying her baby, Rahilla, in her arms, Alexa made her way to the nursery. The room was bright and cheerful, with walls painted in soft pastel colors. A cradle adorned with delicate patterns stood by the wi
In the dim glow of the underground lab, Leonard stood before Valle, his cruel laughter echoing against the cold, sterile walls. Valle, shackled to the metal chair, looked up at Leonard with defiant eyes, though his body was battered and weak. Leonard took a step closer, his grin stretching across his face like a predator savoring its prey. "Oh, Valle," he began mockingly, "you should see how happy I am today." He leaned forward slightly, waiting for a reaction, but Valle remained silent, his expression stoic. Leonard arched a brow, feigning surprise. "What? Aren't you curious why I'm in such a good mood?" He laughed bitterly, shrugging. "No matter. I'll tell you anyway." He stepped back, spreading his arms theatrically. "Alexa hates you now," he said with relish, watching Valle's face closely for any flicker of emotion. "Do you know what she said to me? She swore she'd never forgive you." Leonard began pacing around Valle like a predator circling its prey. His footsteps echoed
Alexa sat in her small but cozy living room, watching the clock as it ticked past midnight. The soft glow of the lamp gave the room a warm, comforting feel, and she let out a tired sigh, ready to call it a night. It had been a long day, and she was looking forward to a few hours of peaceful sleep. Just as she reached for the lamp to switch it off, the doorbell rang, breaking the silence of the apartment.Her heart skipped a beat. At this hour, who could it be? Alexa hesitated, listening carefully, but the bell rang again, louder this time. Slowly, she got up and tiptoed to the door, her pulse quickening. “Who’s there?” she asked cautiously, her voice barely above a whisper.“It’s me,” came the reply. The voice was familiar.Alexa’s tension eased slightly. She unlocked the door and opened it to see Leonard standing there. But the sight of him made her gasp. His face was bruised, his shirt torn, and he looked like he’d been through a fight.“Leonard! What happened to you?” she exclaimed
Alexa stood in the heart of a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees whose branches stretched endlessly toward the sky. The earthy scent of moss and damp leaves filled the air, and a growing sense of unease settled over her as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. She had no recollection of how she had come to be in this strange place, and the silence of the forest only deepened her confusion.“Where am I? How did I get here?” Alexa murmured, her voice trembling as she turned in circles, searching for answers. The forest felt alive, its shadows shifting and whispering secrets she could not understand. Anxiety clawed at her chest as she took tentative steps forward, trying to orient herself.The leaves rustled softly in the breeze, and then she heard it—a faint whisper, so soft it could have been the wind. Alexa froze, her heart pounding. She strained to listen, her pulse quickening as the whisper grew louder, carrying her name. “Alexa…” Her breath caught. The voice was fa
The golden light of sunset bathed the bustling city in a warm glow, casting long shadows on the sidewalks. Leonard strolled confidently down the crowded streets, holding little Rahilla in his arms. Her small hands rested on his shoulder as she nestled against him, completely at ease. Alexa walked beside him, her expression calm and peaceful, though her thoughts were distant. She glanced occasionally at Rahilla, ensuring the baby was content, while the hum of city life buzzed around them. The trio seemed like a picture-perfect family, cocooned in their little world amidst the chaos. But as they turned the corner, Alexa froze. Across the street, she spotted Valle, walking hand in hand with a striking woman. Her heart clenched involuntarily at the sight. She looked away, determined to ignore him, and urged Leonard to keep walking. However, Valle had already noticed them. His eyes locked onto Alexa with a sharp glare, and within moments, he was in their path. “Well, if it isn’t the
The hum of machinery filled the air in Leonard's lab. He entered with a jubilant spring in his step and an elated expression, his face glowing with triumph as if he'd uncovered a treasure trove. His eyes sparkled as he turned toward Valle, bound to the chair, weakened and vulnerable. "I've struck gold," Leonard declared, his voice dripping with satisfaction. Valle, his once formidable demeanor now reduced to a shadow of its former self, remained silent. He stared at a distant point, attempting to disconnect from the nightmare that surrounded him. Leonard's smirk widened as he approached, his excitement turning into something darker. "Don’t you want to know what I’m talking about?" Valle didn’t even flinch. "Why would I care about anything you say?" he replied, his voice a mere whisper. Leonard's chuckle echoed sinisterly. "Oh, but you will care. It’s about Alexa." At the mention of her name, Valle’s stoic mask cracked. His eyes narrowed, a flicker of concern visible. "What
“Valle! Valle, can you hear me?” Alexa’s voice cracked as she shouted into the empty room. The walls absorbed her cries, leaving nothing but an aching silence. “I know you’re out there, Valle. Was it true? What you said? Were you really only here to kill Rahilla?” Her voice trembled, breaking under the weight of her words. “Did none of it mean anything to you? Did you... Did you even love me?” Her breath hitched as tears spilled freely down her cheeks, her words dissolving into heartbroken sobs. She clung to the desperate hope that this was some cruel joke, a nightmare she’d wake from any second. Surely, Valle would burst in with his teasing grin and say, *“Gotcha!”* But no one came. The weight of the silence was unbearable. Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the air, dragging Alexa out of her despair. Her heart leaped into her throat. She froze, straining her ears. The sound didn’t come again, but a chilling unease crept over her. Panic surged through Alexa as she glance
How long had it been? Alexa couldn’t tell anymore. The days had blurred together, stretching endlessly in her mind. She had spent all that time in the same spot, not eating, not drinking, not bathing—just existing in a haze of pain and disbelief. How could Valle have left her so suddenly? How could he have claimed to love her only to reveal it was all a lie? Everything she thought she knew about him had crumbled into pieces, and she couldn’t make sense of it. As she sat alone in her dimly lit room, memories of their time together played in her mind like a cruel movie she couldn’t turn off. She saw them laughing, sharing quiet moments, and holding each other close. She heard the whispered promises that once gave her hope. Now, those same memories felt like jagged shards, cutting deeper with every thought. Her phone lay beside her, the screen dark except for one picture she couldn’t delete. It was a snapshot she had taken of Valle and Rahilla one afternoon. Valle had been asleep w
