STELLA As I am leaving, I pass the kitchen to see boss Axel’s girlfriend sitting on the counter in one of his shirts. It isn’t until I get a little closer that she turns slightly looking at me and smiling, that is when I realise she is wrapped around Axel, he has his hand wrapped around her throat holding her still as he thrusts his hips slowly against her. I don’t know why I feel like this, but I feel my heart drop again; I turn quickly away, hiding the tear that slides down my cheek and head to the elevator. While travelling down, I wipe my cheek and eyes. I really don’t know why seeing him with this other girl is affecting me so much. He had only kissed me. Besides, I don’t even know him. Once the elevator doors open, I go into the maid's locker room, grab my school uniform and my backpack, and head home. On the way I ponder how I feel, I really don’t know why I feel this way as I have no claim over him. He is the boss; he is my boss and he can do whatever he pleases with whoever
AXEL I wake up in my office to hear sounds coming from my kitchen. I get up, make my way to the kitchen and stand leaning against the doorframe as I see Stella dancing to music I guess only she can hear. It was strange seeing a female other than Nora in my private space and one that was this relaxed, knowing that I was on the floor with them somewhere. I didn't miss the slight miss-step as she put too much pressure on her injured thigh. As I watched Stella, I opened my mind-link with Tabitha. "Stella needs a new uniform. Bring one up for her now!" "Yes, Alpha!" I cut the link and clear my throat; I smile as she jumps a little and turns to face me. She lowers the spatula in her hand and then her head as she whispers. "I...I'm Sorry! I..I didn't mean to wake you... I...I will go s...see T...Tabitha for a new uniform... Th...then get back to w..work Sir.." I watch as she goes to leave the kitchen. I move quickly, grabbing her and pushing her up against the wall again with my ha
AXEL We continue to discuss some of the other things that will need to be seen to and will need some attention over the next week. I think my face pales just as much as Benjamin's does as we hear, "AXEL!! HONEY! I'M HOME" Nora is nothing but a release to me and I keep telling her that, but she always comes back for more and as no other female will let me touch them for fear of what I will do to them, she is good to keep around. I think even Benjamin has used her for his release on an occasion or two as well. I know she wants me to make her my Queen but that will never happen. I have seen how she treats others, and Wulfric refuses to even talk to me while she is in our presence. No one has ever measured up to my chosen and never will. I growl as she comes, walking into the office without knocking, walking around the desk and trying to sit on my lap, When I don't move showing her I am not interested at the moment, she moves around and sits on Benjamin's lap instead and starts kiss
AXEL I follow the scent of the young members of my pack until I reach the stream. I stop on a skid as the smell of the young males from my pack goes over the border and into the woods on the other side. I throw my head back, calling everyone back to me as I let out a loud, “HOWL.” It isn't long before about a dozen of my young pack members are standing in front of me. I shift and stand there with my hands on my hips, waiting. The young male Mason steps forward, "Alpha!? What? Why are you out here?" "There's been reports of rogues nearby! I heard your warning howl and thought that maybe a rogue had entered the bonfire area. I was surprised when I got to the bonfire and found it empty with no scent of a rogue. Now I followed the scent of my young pack members to find that some members of my pack don't remember the rules..." "Sorry Alpha! Which rules?" "Well, the main two would be hunting without an adult present and passing out of the territory without permission!" "But we ha
STELLA I come awake slowly, as the sun just starts to rise. I am cold but not freezing. I slowly sit up and check myself over. My thigh is sore, but thankfully the gash is still closed and the small cut Mason made with his claw on my chest has finally stopped bleeding. The rest of my chest and arms were covered in small cuts and bruises from the trees and bushes as I ran. I don’t want to see what my cheek or neck will look like as the bruises from Axel and Kelly were only just starting to disappear and now Mason has re-added to them. I rub my arms gently to try to get a little warmth and a bit of circulation into them, but it doesn’t do much; I look around and then down to the ground and remember the beginning of one of the chapters I started to read for history. The chapter was something about packs and territories, I slowly climb down as I go over the chapter in my head, most patrols of a territory are done in wolf form, but they need to be in human form to communicate with anyo
STELLA Once inside, Hannah uses her passkey to enter the elevator, accessing Axel’s private floor. She then helped me to the guest room and into the bathroom. She then strips me of the clothes I picked up and the bandage from my thigh before getting me to step into the shower. I relax under the warm water as the heat sinks slowly into my skin and then my bones while Hannah disappears for a few minutes. When Hannah returns, she reaches in and turns off the water, making me step out. She then wraps a nice, thick towel around me. I smile a little, as it smells like Axel. Hannah then helps me hobble over to the bed where she has some pyjamas laid out for me. I am a little surprised that they fit as they weren’t my pyjamas. After I had slipped them on, Hannah took a look at the gash on my thigh. She shook her head and walked back into the bathroom. She comes back out a moment later holding a tube of cream. She then replaces the bandage after applying a small amount of the cream. I sigh
STELLA >Flashback continued“I won't. Hey mum, can we make a cake for dessert?” “Do you want to cook one or did you just want to get one that is already made with Happy Birthday nicely written on it in icing?” I stop and stare at her. “MUM! Since when don’t you cook or bake?” She laughs at me and says, “It was only a suggestion...” We make our way around the aisle, picking up all the things needed for our meal tonight. Once we have everything, we walk around laughing and nudging each other as we make our way to the front of the store to pay for everything. As we get to the counter, Mum turns to me and says, “Stella honey, we forgot the soda. Did you want to run back and pick a flavour?” “Okay, mum.” I pass her the basket and head back into the aisles to where all the soda is kept. As I pondered what flavour I wanted, I could hear yelling coming from the front of the store. I then hear this loud bang and some screaming. I make my way slowly back
STELLA After classes, I say goodbye to Sophie, attend history class, and then head back to the pack house to do the rest of the cleaning. I stop for something to eat, and just as I have finished cleaning up my dishes, Nora comes in wearing one of Axel’s shirts again and a big smile on her face. I can’t stop the feeling that my heart has been ripped out as she sees me and smirks. Not wanting to be in the same room as her and reminded that she is enjoying Axel's company, I move to leave the kitchen. As I walk past her, she grabs my arm and growls. “You will stay away from him from now on. He is mine and I will be his queen. You are nothing more than his slave, his property, and therefore, when he marks me, you will be mine as well. When he returns from this business trip, you are to move your crap out of the guest room, off of this floor and out of the pack house. The only time I want to see you is when you are here to clean... Oh, and another thing, as soon as your studies are comple
