Chapter 2

I woke up because of a weird noise in the middle of the night. And it seems like it's coming from the upper floor which is the third floor. There are loud noises like someone is running desperately, then a loud creek followed.

What's happening? Are we in trouble?

I stayed on my bed—lying, trying to figure out what was causing that noise because it still doesn't stop. I suddenly felt a bit of fear in my system. Should I check it or not? That floor is out of limit for me, right?

Agh! I'll check it! Okay Aze, breath in, breath out. You can do this!

Of course, I go anywhere when I'm feeling unsafe and he can't do anything about that.

I slowly get up and out of my curiosity I walked out of my room to check on what's going on.

I tip toe to suppress my noise. I am now in front of the stairs but something is stopping me from going upstairs. My heart is beating so fast like my life depends on it.

I wanna feed my curiosity but I still don't want to die—if I will…

"What are you doing here?"

I stopped moving when a manly voice suddenly asked me. What's his name again? Oh right! I should ask him but not now, this ain't the right time for that.

"I heard some noises and I thought something was happening in there. I just wanna check what it is," I explained, that's the truth anyway.

"I'm just fixing some stuffs there. You can go back to your room now," he said coldly said, maintaining his stare at me so I awkwardly slowly walked back to my room.

I shut the door and locked it the moment I entered the room. He's so weird, fixing some stuffs in the middle of the night? But the noise was different. It seems like there were other people in there and not only him.

I tried erasing it in my mind but I just can't. It's already stocked in there and it even stopped me from going back to sleep.

I saw the sun rising but my eyes were still open, staring at the white ceiling. I don't want to meddle in his business because I actually don't have the right to just roam here and to whatever I want because I'll just leave here soon.

Argh! That's enough, maybe I should get some exercise and eat, my eyes are already exhausted because I haven't slept enough.

I got from the bed, did my morning routines and got out of the room. I'm just too lazy for an exercise. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow or next week, months or years or maybe never. Gosh I'm such one hell of a couch potato.

No one was there when I reached down stairs so I decided to go to the kitchen and cook something that can feed my empty stomach but not my curiosity.

I ended up cooking some eggs, bacons and hotdogs for the two of us, though I don't know if he's still here.

I will also try to find a place to stay permanently and a stable job. So maybe I'll thank him later for letting me stay then I'll leave.

It's not really a good thing living with someone that I don't know. I don't even have his name so it's totally awkward, really.

And maybe he saw me as a nosy bad-ass because of what happened last night. Yeah, I really am nosy but I deserve to know whether I'm safe or not to where I'm staying.

I saw him getting out of his room with just his boxer shorts with him when I'm about to check if his still in his room after cooking.

"Hi, I was about to call you for breakfast. I cooked some foods." He stared at me blankly. What happened? As far as I can remember, he's not cold to me yesterday then he became cold now? Is it because of what happened last night?

"Okay," he replied

“By the way, thank you for letting me stay here but I think I need to live by myself from now on. So, I'll try finding a place to stay and a stable job later. Don't worry, I'll pay you when I got my first salary."

"You're not going anywhere!" He said and walked near me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, wanting to understand what he's saying. He's a bit weird, isn't he?

"I said I won't allow you to leave, Aze. You'll stay here whether you like it or not.” What?

"Hey! I have my right to decide on my own and you can't do anything about that! Not because you helped me, means you already have the right control me! I can pay you, just wait. You are just no one, to decide for me! And how did you know my name? I never gave it you! Who are you, really?"

I started to lost my temper with him, I don't even know him so why was he acting like he's my husband or something? And he called me Aze, only my friends call me that way and I'm a hundred percent sure that he ain't my friend.

"Who am I? You really wanna know who I am Aze?"

"Yes!" I answered bravely, not minding his stare that seems to melt my whole body and the heat that is surrounding the both of us.

"Well, I am your mate my Azmariah Denise Cole," he answered and trapped me with his arms.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh wait, let me introduce myself to you. It's so rude for me to not introduce myself. I'm Apollo Blade Lucerne, Mi Reina"

What? So, he's really m-my mate? He is Apollo Blade Lucerne? Fuck! So, that's why I'm kinda comfortable with him the first time we met and I felt like we're both connected? No way! I really should get out of here.

"Escaping again, Mi Reina? Well, guess what? You're trapped here with me forever, you're trapped with this alpha as your mate and you can't do anything about it. I have my eyes in every corner of this house so, don't ever try to do what you're planning," he said with finality in his voice.

He left me there standing like a statue. I can't believe that the man that I'm running from is the one that I run to. Such a dumb woman that I am. How come I haven't even saw the alpha back then? How can I even run from a man whom I never saw? Heck no! Stupid Aze!

I decided to walk after him and saw him eating what I cooked. But it seems like he's not enjoying it. Am I a terrible cook?

"Don't stare at me like that, or else—"

"Or else what?" I cut him from talking, waiting on what he'll answer me.

"Or else, you'll see how an alpha move in bed with his mate"
