Elena pov I have a hard time believing what I see in front of me. I'm staring right into the eyes of a black beast, I only can describe it as a mix of a bear and a wolf. The eyes are pitch black and I see it sniffing in the air before it starts to growl. I hear more snarls and around the animal comes four more what I only can guess are wolves. They are big but not as big as the black one. The others are either grey or a mix of grey and brown. I'm shocked by the sight of them and don't know how to get out of here alive. To them, I guess I'm just dinner and have nothing to put up against them if they are about to attack. I don't dare to move and on the other hand, I have to try! Taking a slow step back while I keep my eyes locked on every move they make when I see the black one taking a few steps closer to me and sniffing in the air. My heart is about to beat out of my chest and I have my eyes locked on the beast in front of me when I take a slow step backward. I'm certain this
Elena pov Freezing on my spot my legs start to shake while I try to put my weight on my good foot. I don't dare to turn around and see who it is, and at the same time, I don't think I have any option to get away from here without. "Turn around!" Comes the voice again and I take a deep breath and slowly start to turn around and see who it is behind me. When my eyes land on the two big bulky men in black suits behind, all I want is to bolt out of there! It's obvious they are his men. I know there is no way for me to escape them and especially not now with my injured ankle. "What are you doing here!" One of them says and If I could avoid answer I would. Taking a breath and trying to find my voice before answering. "Just out for a walk and made a wrong turn!" I say and try to sound as convincing as I can. Seeing them eyeing me closely. I feel small under their intense gaze and try to steady my beating heart. "I will be going now!' I say and swirl around and try to take a step with
Elena povI couldn't get much sleep, my ankle throbbed painfully whatever I did and at one point I fell asleep in pure exhaustion for a few couples of hours.When I heard Claire get up and start her day I tried to sit up on the couch. Placing my foot down on the floor I already feel the pain I'm going to have the moment I start to place weight on it.Looking down at my ankle it's black and blue right now and I hadn't expected anything else. Using the couch armrest to get me up from my seat I carefully start to place some weight on my hurt foot.It's painful and I have to sit back down when Claire comes out of her room. She stops right in front of the living room and looks at my ankle."What has happened?" She says and makes her way over to me."I tripped over a rock last night!" I lie to her. Can't have her know the truth about what I did."Lay down and let me take a look at it!" She says and motions for me to lie back down. Doing what she wants I lay down and place my foot on the bac
Elena povAziel stands in the doorway for a moment before he starts to take long determined strides towards where I am. He never takes his eyes away from me and right now I feel like his prey he is here to finish off!I take a slow step to the side when my heart starts to beat faster, I would make a run for it if I could but I know he would have no problem hunting me down in seconds. I even get a feeling he would probably enjoy the hunt.His angry gaze on me when I slowly step backward and try to come closer to the emergency door. Glancing over my shoulder I see I'm only a few steps away from reaching the door.Turning my head back and looking at him his eyes look furious and the sight makes me start to shiver.What could I possibly have done to him to make him this angry at me?Taking another slow step I have to place my hand on the counter for some support for my shaky legs. For every step, I see him take my anxiety gets worse and I can't breathe.He takes two more fast steps and co
Elena povSofia shows me to a table and some napkins I guess she wants me to fold. I take a seat by the table and start folding them when I see her walk over to Aziel and they get inside the kitchen.I try to wrap my head around the new situation I have put myself in.Next time, if there ever will be a next time I will make sure to thoroughly read any paper before signing them. This is a hard lesson I have learned.Maybe there is a solution to my problem if I can get another job as well, then I could earn twice the money for a couple of months and pay him for the rest of the months left and leave this city.That's the only solution I can come to think of. That's a possibility and I will start looking for another job when my ankle is better, hopefully in just a few days.Sighing, I focus on the task in front of me before Sofia comes walking back alone. I hold my breath and wait for her to tell me what he decided. From now on I know he is the one in charge of what work I will have to do
Elena pov I don't dare to go against him when he picks me up in his arms and starts carrying me up to his office. I feel small in his arms and I want to be anywhere else than here. My heart beats hard in my chest and I hardly manage to breathe when he shoves a door open with his foot and walks inside with me. I see we have reached his office and he places me down on my feet but doesn't step away from me. "Hand me your shoes!" He says in his dominant voice. Raising my head to look at him I meet his brown eyes and get lost for a moment just staring into them. "Your shoes!' He says again and it jolts me out of my trance. I don't get it why he needs my shoes and I won't take them off. I can't be without my shoes! Taking a step backward he is quick and lifts me up by my waist and places me down on his office desk. " Are you going to disobey me?" He says and leans forward while I try to lean back and get away from him. His face comes closer and his breath is fanning my face. I have no
Elena povIt feels like forever before he says anything, the tension between us lies thick in the room."You're still a virgin?" comes his deep voice next to my ear and have a hard time standing still. He being this close to me stirs up some emotions, I don't see any point in lying to him. I guess it's not many who still are virgins when they are twenty!"Yes!" I say and shift on my feet. Funding this conversation awkward and him this close has me feeling hot!Shifting on my feet I have to unbutton my shirt on the top and try to cool down when he takes a step back and looks at me.Feeling my cheeks heat up I place my hand on my face.How can he affect me this way?"go back to eat your food before it gets cold!" he says and turns on his heels and walks out of his office in fast steps.I stay still and have to lean against the wall and try to calm down for a second. I don't hear him come back and after a short moment, I get back to the desk and take a seat.I already know he will be ang
Elena pov Waking up I find myself still laying on his couch, it's dark around me and I guess it's lait in the evening. When I move and sit up on the couch the room lit up. Looking down at my body I find a blanket on me and don't remember putting it on. Remembering the dream I take my hand up to my lips because it was just a dream. Or was it?! Hearing someone knocking on the office door before it's opened and Sofia comes walking inside. She has a bag with her and stops right in front of me. "has anyone been in here?" I ask her and look up at her. She looks me all over and shakes her head no at me. "No one would ever dare to go inside his office without his permission!" she says and takes a seat beside me on the couch. "Why do you ask?" "I had the strangest dream when someone was in here and placed the blanket over me, he.." I start but don't dare to keep saying anything more. It was just a dream but where did the blanket come from? "didn't you see who it was?" she asks me. "n
Elena pov Looking at our daughter in Aziel's arms I smile at the sight of her tiny body in his arms. She was just born and the nurse have cleaned her up and put her in some pink clothes I have no idea where they came from. "She is beautiful!" Aziel says and walks over to where I sit on the bed when he places her down in my arms. "Where do the pink clothes come from?" I ask him while looking at our sleeping daughter in my arms. "I bought them!" he says and I turn my head to look at him. Surprised he bought them before she was born. "You thought it was a girl as well?" I ask him in surprise when he gives me a big smile. "Or I bought two sets of everything!" he says and gives me a wink when I shake my head at him. "Don't tell me you did it!" I say and look at him, he doesn't have to say anything for me to already know that's exactly what he did! "Though it didn't matter since you want a big family we might get use for them anyway and if not I'm sure one of the others will get a b
Elena povRubbing my growing belly through the dress I have on I feel a kick in my ribs and have to bend forward when his hand comes to my back."How is it?" Aziel asks me and I place my hand on the desk and rise."Just a kick in my ribs!" I say and turn to look at him when he grabs me and lifts me up before he places me down on his desk. He takes a seat in his office chair and pulls it closer when he places his head against my stomach and his hand is on the other side."Now you have to be good and don't give your mother a hard time through the ceremony!" he says to my belly and I place my hand on his head."I don't think she cares whatever you tell her and once she is out we will have our hands full!" I say and smile at the thought when he lifts his head to look at me."Are you sure it's a girl?" he says and I only smile at him. We wanted it to be a surprise when the baby is born and the doctor where forbidden to say anything. I have known it for a long time it's a girl even if I hav
Elena povThere is no doubt in my mind he took out some aggression in the bed last night, I was prepared for him to come back and be angry at me but instead he ravished my body for hours until I was completely spent. I'm not complaining at all, he only turns me on more by being dominant and rough.Feeling a hand on my belly before his lips kiss it. Tingles play on my skin under his touch and I never want to leave the bed again."Good morning love!" he says when I open my eyes and turn my head to look at him. He is looking down at me from the side where he is laying and looking at me."Good morning!" I say and yawn, I'm tired from the lack of sleep, and most of all I want to roll over to the side and go back to sleep."How do you feel?" he says and I'm perfectly fine besides hungry. My stomach starts to rumble and speak for itself when Aziel chuckles at the sound it makes."We better get you some food!" he says and places his hand on my cheek before he leans down and pecks my lips."I
Elena povStanding in my place for a moment when I don't hear anything I start to slowly walk past the big table in the room and head for the doorway. Turning my head and looking down the hallway I hear a pair of footsteps and turn my head the other way when my eyes land on his.He stands in the hallway only dressed in a low hanging towel around his waist and looks at me for a long moment. My heart starts to beat faster at the sight of him when he starts to take long strides down the hallway to where I stand. He looks newly showered and his hair is still wet.His eyes are pitch black and the closer he gets I feel his dominant aura surrounding him. He doesn't take his eyes away from me and once he reaches over to where I stand with my back against the doorway he grabs my butt and halls me up in a swift motion.Wrapping my legs around him to steady myself he presses me back against the doorframe before he grips the back of my head and forces my head up. I don't get any chance to speak w
Elena povHe doesn't say anything for a long moment before he takes his hand away from my belly and pulls me closer to him. His lips come crashing against mine in a hard demanding kiss, I have to take a deep breath when he finally lets me go."I figured it out and that's why I came back! You should have told me instead of keeping it a secret, I wouldn't have left you! Why didn't you?" he says and doesn't let go of his hold on my head when he looks intensely at me.His other hand is placed on my waist in a firm grip and I know he won't release me until I give him an honest answer."I didn't want to tell you when we had an argument. I wanted you to be happy about it!" I say and look right into his eyes when he takes a long look at me before he answers."Why wouldn't I be happy about it? It's our child!" he says and I don't know what to answer him, my reasons feel stupid right now."I'm sorry!" I say when he wraps me up in his arms and holds me tight to him."Don't you ever keep a secret
Elena povWith all this anger in my body, I'm about to burst any second and I have to focus on trying to calm down.Turning my head to look at him his face is only inches away from mine."I won't give you that kind of satisfaction!" I spit at him when he starts to laugh and holds his grip tighter. His claws are almost cutting into my skin and I fear what will happen to me if he breaks it!It's my mother's venom that has changed him but if it gets into my body, will we survive?"Too bad you're not as strong as your mother! I will have a good time breaking your spirit and killing that bastard of yours!" he spits and that's the last push for me. He will not hurt my child!Taking a deep breath I let my wolf slightly forward and my claws slip out of my fingers, a golden shimmer coats my vision for a short second when I see him get a victorious smile on his face. Like he has won!Gathering all strength I got he grabs my hand when I try to scratch him down his face, but that was just a diver
Elena povI see the man I thought was my cousin look at me with a smirk on his lips when he pulls Aziels cousin to his side. It takes a moment before her eyes meet mine and I see guilt in her face.On her neck lies a new mark and I feel a bit bad for her to be mated to him, and at the same time her betrayal is fresh in my memory and we wouldn't have been in such trouble if it weren't for her.She averts her eyes and doesn't say anything when she looks to the side and I see a large new cut on her cheek and down her neck that has started to heel. Can only imagine who has given it to her since I know very well what he is like."Feel good about yourself right now with your mate by your side! once I get free you will not breathe much longer!" Sam spits at her when I see his cousin take a step back with her head hanging in defeat. She doesn't speak and I'm sure she has been beaten to silence by him."Let my friend go! She has nothing to do with this!" I say and hope they will release Sam wh
Elena povHis grip on my throat gets harder when I feel his face close to my ear. I try to mind link both Sam and Sofia but can't reach anyone of them and I instantly fear for their safety!"So you figured it out at last!" he says and starts to laugh a wicked laugh that sends a chill down my spine."Yes!" I say and wait for him to stop laughing. His scent is clear to me and for once I know he is a wolf, nothing I ever knew or saw any trace of when I lived under his roof. He never shifted near me and I had no idea how a wolf smelled!"But what I haven't figured out yet is your connection with the doctor!" I say and hope he will reveal the truth to me."Oh! You mean my sister!" he says next to my ear while holding his grip tighter around my neck. That's the next puzzle piece I needed."You know when she told me your mother was pregnant we started to plan the whole thing. But we didn't expect your mother to figure it out and hide you before we could get our hands on you! Well as you know
Elena povTurning around without a word I head right for my chambers, I hear them walk behind me. No one says a word until we have reached inside my chambers and closed the door."Now spill!" Sam says once we are inside and I'm not surprised she doesn't waste a second to know what's going on.I walk right over to the couch without answering and start to take out my mother's journals when they both walk over and take a seat on the couch."Aziel talked to me this night and agreed to start a family under one condition!" I say and open the first notebook and place it in front of me."What's the condition?" Sofia asks and I turn to look at her."If I get pregnant I will have to be by his side every second of the day and he will have more guards around me! Even have Sam following me inside the bathroom!" I say when Sam bursts out."Hell no! I'm not following you inside the bathroom, I'm not interested in seeing you do your business" She shakes her head and has her hands up in surrender. I w
