Silas - POV
"She is our second chance, mate, Silas," my wolf Ray purred happily.
"She's human, Ray. I'm doubtful. Maybe we should check with the pack elders. Our mate could be a late shifter or just a human," I said, trying not to inhale the sweet smell of jasmine that overwhelmed me.
"Is she going to be okay?" Ray asked with concern. We had used healing magic on her bruised arm and forehead.
"She should be fine, but we can have the pack doctor confirm," I replied. Since our mate died, Ray and I had learned to use basic healing magic, but we were still amateurs at treating someone.
"Alpha, this woman in your arms looks familiar, but isn't she human?" My beta, Yuri, approached me.
"Yuri, get the pack, doctor," I instructed, and she nodded before walking away. I carried the unknown woman to my manor.
"Ray, listen to me. Suppress this mate bond and keep your emotions in check. I'm suspicious about this woman. How did she enter Wolfland when it's secured by invisible magic to safeguard us from humans discovering us?" I said as I laid her in the guest room and went to get dressed.
"You're right, Silas. Let's ask Yuri. She seemed to know this human," Ray agreed.
The pack doctor examined her while Yuri waited outside. "Do you know her?" I asked Yuri.
"Of course, I do, Alpha! She's Hollywood's famous diva, Elena Hayes. I'm a big fan of her work," Yuri replied excitedly, her cheer too loud for my ears.
"Tone it down, Yuri," I winced at her enthusiasm.
"Sorry, Alpha, but you should see her perform. She's a refined actress. But I wonder how she came to our pack," Yuri said.
"Now that you mention the name, it does ring a bell, but this human actress is still suspicious," I said. Yuri sighed at my statement.
"Alpha, you're always dubious about everything!" she exclaimed. I grunted in response.
"The doctor said she will regain consciousness soon," Yuri informed me as she escorted the doctor to the mansion's entrance.
I entered the room, and Elena's sweet jasmine scent greeted my nostrils. Her forehead had been bandaged, and I tried not to stare at her petite frame.
"Do we have to reject our mate?" Ray asked.
"Yes, don't ask me the same question again," I snapped.
I should leave her alone and asked Yuri to look after her, but I couldn't physically leave the room. I felt calm next to her, and the mate bond soothed me. It had been so long since I had felt this way.
Elena moaned as she blinked her hazel eyes and looked around. She tried to sit up, one hand on her forehead as she hissed in discomfort.
"Are you in pain?" I asked, startling her with my voice. Her eyes snapped in my direction.
"You're the enormous dick guy who stood before my car," she said, staring at me. I felt irritated and amused by her description of my dick. I heard a chuckle, and it appeared that Yuri and Mac, my omega, had appeared.
"Huh?"
"Sorry for startling you, Ms. Hayes. We are friends of Mr. Ford," Mac said.
“Hmm… by the way, Mr. Enormous Dick… sorry, I mean… Mr. Ford, thank you for saving me." I saw Yuri chuckle as she covered her mouth. Mac tried to keep a straight face, but failed as he snorted with laughter. I growled at them, and they stopped instantly. I glanced at Elena, whose face was red from embarrassment.
"Rest up, Ms. Hayes. You hit your head pretty hard," I remarked, mocking her. She just gave me a blank stare. I mind-linked Yuri to look after her, then mind-linked Mac to follow me into my office.
"Our mate is attracted to us," Ray muttered.
"Right, it attracted her to my dick, not to us..." I growled at Ray.
"Why are you being an asshole? You liked her gaze scanning us from head to toe. Don't lie to me," he growled. I blocked him to stop him from disturbing me.
"Mac, find out more details about Elena Hayes, her business in this city, and verify her car," I said.
"What car?" Mac asked. I explained that I was chasing a rogue and killed him. As I came to stand on the territory's edge, I saw her car hurtling towards me. After the car veered off the road, I got her out. At one glance, I could see the car had problems. The airbags failed, and her brakes were not working.
"Could it be that she was trying to kill herself?" Mac pondered.
"Stop speaking nonsense. Elena wouldn't try to take her own life, but use a problematic car to do it," Yuri walked in, cutting off Mac's speech.
"I just proposed that it could be the case," Mac said, putting his hands in the air and shrugging defensively. Yuri growled at his remark. "Even I am a fan of Elena Hayes. I want to ask her so many questions." Mac said with a star-struck gleam in his eyes.
"Right, you are a fan who thinks she is trying to end her existence. Ha! Asshole."
"Shut up!" I growled, massaging the bridge of my nose.
"Why are you here? I asked you to take care of my mate," I said. Damn, my loose lips. Why did I mention Elena as my mate just now in front of Yuri and Mac?
"Wait, Elena Hayes is your mate!" Yuri jumped in excitement. Mac looked at me, surprised.
"I do not accept her as my mate. She is unknown in our world, and I will reject her. I can't risk her life," I answered. They both nodded in response, understanding why I was not ready to mate. I lost my first mate to an undiscovered mystery I couldn't solve.
"Alpha, she is sleeping. I think she needs time to recover," Yuri answered.
"As soon as she heals, send her away," I answered coldly. They both took off from my office to run errands for me. I turned on the TV to broadcast.
"Breaking News: Elena Hayes, the famous actress who came to Minnesota for work, is missing. Could Elena Hayes be quitting Hollywood after finding her fiancé cheating on her with another woman? As officers investigate Elena Hayes's whereabouts, stay tuned with us for more updates." I turned off the TV and made a drink for myself. I don't know why I feel uneasy hearing the report that Elena suffered such a thing recently in her life.
I walked up to check on her in the guest room where she was resting, but as I did, I saw a murky-looking silhouette seeking to touch Elena's sleeping frame, but before I could do anything, it vanished.
Elena—POVI blink my eyes, feel the soft bed under me, and look around. The dull pain in my head was still there. I recall the images of a handsome hunk and his enormous dick.“Jeez, I sound like a pervert,” I muttered.“So, still thinking about my Dick,” I gasped, hearing the deep voice. My gaze met the blue ocean orbs in the dim light. He smirked at me. I struggled hard to keep blushing under his stare.“No,” I whispered, trying to conceal my embarrassment. He smirked at me. I averted my gaze from him, so I could breathe, as his intense gaze made me vulnerable.“Where am I” pulling myself from this strange warm feeling around this man.“Wolf Land,” he replied. It tore his expression as if he wanted to avoid saying that. But when he told Wolf Land, the image of him transforming in front of my car appeared, and fear gripped me as I clenched onto the bedsheet.“Wolf Land. Where in the world is this place” I asked, trying to look around, not him. As my heartbeat fastens because I am conf
Elena—POV"Mr. Ford," I said as he stepped out of the elevator, holding his suitcase and key. He gazed at me, surprised, but maintained his arrogant demeanour. I stepped aside to let him pass."Are you staying in the penthouse next to me?" I asked."Hmmm," he replied."Cool, then we'll be neighbours. And I wanted to thank you for saving my life," I said with a smile. He nodded and walked away without saying anything, leaving me frustrated by his cold arrogance.As soon as I stepped out of the building, the media swarmed around me like vultures and paparazzi, taking pictures and thrusting microphones at me. My security team made a path for me to get into my car.I tried not to think about the rumours that my ex-fiancé, Jake, was spreading to ruin my career. But as soon as I got to my office, Janice told me the producers were waiting for me."Ms. Hayes, right on time," Producer Christian said with a smile."I take my work and time seriously," I replied, taking my seat."We know that, but
Elena -POVI sat up on the couch and noticed an empty whisky bottle. Great, that explains my intense headache - it's a hangover. I struggled to find some medication to ease the pain, but after a few minutes, I managed to locate some. As I looked around the messy room, the doorbell rang, and I knew it was my maid. I opened the door to find Mr. Ford dressed impeccably."Still hungover," he said coldly."No shit, Sherlock," I snapped, worsening my headache. He frowned at me for lashing out."I came here to talk business, but it doesn't seem like the right time.""Wait, don't you dare walk away from me," I growled. Mr.Ford ignored me and stepped into the elevator. I followed him in, and he gave me a glance from head to toe. I saw myself still in camisole-laced pyjamas, which showed too much skin. I didn't care, though, as I was more focused on getting his answers."You're so eager to know," he said, sounding unexpectedly sexy and deep. I couldn't help but stare at him."Of course I am. You
Elena - POVThe maid had just finished cleaning the room as I dressed in formal clothes to head to the office. I needed to discuss with my team how to handle the situation that was turning against me in the media and on social media, and I also needed to find a new project for myself. Unfortunately, news had already reached the other producers that Christian had backed out on me, and they had boycotted me.Dragging myself to the office after so much turmoil running through me and my sickness getting the better of me, Janice had booked the appointment back with Dr. Rudolf.The team's spirits seemed low beneath their straight faces, much like the fake expression I had pulled up on my face. Janice started the meeting, and the PR team made excuses to cover up my tainted reputation. However, their ideas fail if we put such baseless arguments into the news. It wouldn't work well for me.The frustration was building up within me as I thought about how I had put my trust in a snake-like human
Silas - POV(Jake -Alpha Silas meeting)Jake walked into my office. His deep-set brown eyes stared as he sat opposite me, his arrogant attitude evident. His aura felt ominous.I was unsure if he was human or something else, as his attitude confused me."Mr. Ford, I am here to discuss a deal," he said, running his hand through his brown hair."What might that be?" Jake tried to study me, but a little annoyed expression flickered under his arrogant exterior."I understand you are sponsoring Elena, but I am here to save your day. Why don't you invest in my project, and the profits will be guaranteed? Unlike risking your investment in someone sure to go downhill," he said with confidence and a smirk. For a second, a wave of energy brushed my skin as if trying to convince me of what this asshole remarked. Strangely, there was something else behind Jake's background, and I needed to get Mac and Yuri to gather information on him."Mr. Smith, I am pleased to be offered such a great deal. But I
Elena - POV"I am sitting behind the desk, reviewing the document Mr. Ford gave. Everything was correct, and the pay was more than what Christian offered."Ms. Hayes, this deal is good. We should go ahead with this," Janice said, double-checking if any catch or clause could affect me later. But what troubled me was why this stranger from the day I met was helping me selflessly. What was the real deal about trusting someone blindly because of their generous act? It could be a ploy to get into my pants."I need to think about it, Janice." Janice looked up from the documents and gave me a perplexed stare."Why, Ms. Hayes, is there something wrong?" I shook my head."How about this, Janice? You call my financial adviser and lawyer tomorrow to my office." Janice still stared at me, not following my thought process. I knew she couldn't because I didn't need anyone's help and didn't want to become a damsel in distress. I was going to be the producer of my movie."Janice, do you understand wha
Elena—POV As I caught sight of the hallway scene, the trail of blood leading to Mr. Ford's door, my senses went on high alert. Could Mr. Ford be in danger? I quickly grabbed my cell phone, preparing to call for medical help. But before I could even knock on his door, it swung open to reveal Mr. Ford, shirtless and with his shorts riding low on his hips. His gaze held me captive, and I couldn't help but gulp at the intensity of his appearance. "Come in, Elena," he said, his deep voice making my hormones go overdrive. As I entered his luxurious apartment, Mr. Ford's hungry gaze never left me. I averted my eyes, taking a deep breath to steady myself. "What brings you here?" he asked, walking closer until he was standing uncomfortably close. "Are you okay?" I finally managed to ask. "I saw the blood and fur in the hallway." His eyes briefly dilated as he looked at me, and then he asked, "Did you hear anything?" "Of course I did! The animal growls were hard to miss," I replied, wonder
Elena - POVI sat on the soft bed, clutching my head and squinting my eyes as I looked around the bedroom. Memories flooded in. Was it all just a dream?"Elena, breakfast is ready." I heard Lyra's voice coming from the kitchen. She had returned from her vacation. I smiled at the thought of her. Although she was the housemaid, she was more like a mother figure to me. Trusting people was difficult when I had just begun my successful career. But Lyra had always had good intentions, and she cared for me without ulterior motives. Our relationship had bloomed over time, and we had become like mother and daughter.As I rolled out of bed, my legs' spasms dampened my cheery mood. The signs of my illness were apparent. After the meeting, I need to confirm with Janice when she will make the appointment with Dr. Rudolf. The doorknob turned, and Lyra walked in with the breakfast trolley.Lyra's elegant smile made me return the gesture. The aroma of her delicious cooking made my stomach growl, and
