STELLA Just as we were finishing up I heard Tabitha call from the door, “Stella? Where are you?” I go to get to my feet but boss Axel looks at me with a hard stare which makes a shiver of fear run through me and I sit back down as he then answers “We are in the kitchen Tabitha.” I don’t think she really took note of who answered her as I look up and she enters the kitchen saying “What did you do to your other uniform and why aren’t you working??” I don’t miss the disapproving look on her face when she see me sitting at the table with him, the boss growls and she then masks her expression as she approaches the table and bows slightly towards boss Axel and says “Sorry Sir! I have her new uniform Sir it is hanging in the hallway. Sir is everything alright? Is she doing her job to your standards and staying out of your way? Or would you like me to talk to B..Benjamin about finding her something else to do?” I jump a little
STELLA As I am leaving I pass the kitchen to see Axel’s girlfriend sitting on the counter in one of Axel’s 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 effecting me so much, I don’t even know him. Once the elevator doors open I go into the maids 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 on him, he is the boss and he can do whatever he pleases with whoever he pleases just as long as he lea
AXEL I wake up in my office to 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 in my private space and one that was this relaxed knowing that I am 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 watch Stella I mind-link with Tabitha "Stella needs a new uniform bring one up for her now!" "Yes Sir!" I cut the link and clear my throat, I smile as she jumps a little, then turns to face me, she lowers the spatula in her hand and then her head whispering "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 turns off
AXELAfter our lunch meeting, I leave Benjamin to do what he needs to do and head back to my office, unfortunately Nora links her arm with mine and accompanies me. Once back on my private floor I head into my bedroom to get out of the suit I was wearing for the meeting, Nora follows me in while undoing her dress as she walks up to me, Wulfric growls at me"Don't touch her!"I ignore him and allow her to kiss me, I tense as I wrap my arms around her tightening them bringing her in close to my body, Wulfric growls once more and then blocks me out. I then walk her backwards until we get to the bed, I let her go and push her so she lands on the bed, I crawl up and over her kissing up her stomach, over her chest and breasts, up her neck to her lips where I put more and more dominance into the kiss. I move my hand up and wrap it around her throat squeezing tighter and tighter as I use my other
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 andHOWL. 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 bon fire area. It also seems that the members of my pack don't know the rules..." "Sorry Sir! Which rules?" "Hunting without an adult and passing out of the territory!" "But we have...." I smirk as he then looks around and pales "Sorry Sir! I didn't realise we had
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 the gash is still closed, the small cut Mason made with his claw on my chest has finally stopped bleeding, the rest of my chest and arms are 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 added to them. I rub my arms gently to try and 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 co
STELLA Over the next two months leading up to my birthday we had managed to get into a routine, I would make us both breakfast a 4:30am in the morning and we would sit and eat together, then he would take me down for some defence training, then I would clean until it was time to head to the college with either Benjamin or Hannah and he would head to his office for the day. After the incident with Mason, Toby and Conner in the field Benjamin finally came clean about what they were and why I could never leave the town, even dad couldn’t leave now that he was here and there was also the fact that my dad sold me to them so I now belonged to Axel and can only ever leave if he allows it but I have a feeling that he will never let me leave. So I now know about werewolves, witches and the very long list of other supernatural species that live around us, it made me studying their history so much more understandable. I also found out
STELLA “Then just under 3 months ago I come home from school early to find my dad home from work talking to his boss in our kitchen, he introduced me to Benjamin saying he had gotten a promotion at work which he had to take but we had to move to a small country town. He then told me that he had gotten me work and that is when Benjamin told me I would be working for the big boss. They never told me what the deal was, why dad got the promotion but I did find some paperwork as we were packing that showed all the money we got from mums death was all gone and then it seemed he borrowed money from Benjamin so we could keep the house and buy food. It wasn’t until a little while after I actually started working for Axel that I found out that I belonged to him, you see my dad sold me to Benjamin to cover his debt with the company and Benjamin gave me to Axel. So my dad sold me to the King of Alpha’s... I don’t even know if my dad knew what you are or not. Eve
