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
