The receptionist fell silent, and Anna watched the woman assume a more serious tone.“Yes… I mean, I don’t-“Bearing a weary expression, she turned to Anna and asked snottily, “What was your name again?”Anna gave it, and the receptionist paled.“S-she’s here.” The blonde finally said on the phone and the receptionist paled even further after some seconds. Anna raised a brow at the woman because she could now pick out a loud voice on the other side even from where she sat. Whoever it was was very angry.The receptionist stammered, “Y-Yes. I’m sorry, sir. Yes, sir.”Then she dropped the call and trembling, she stood up.“Come with me, miss.” She didn’t look at Anna now, her face burning. There was something akin to shame or terror or anger burning in her eyes however, and Anna felt a hint of satisfaction. The blonde had acted all high and mighty after all. It was pleasant to see her flail.Looking like she had just seen a ghost, the receptionist took Anna to the elevator.“Press the bu
Anna?My sister?!Sophie looked surprised and angry to hear Anna’s name being called, and it sparked her ire.Through gritted teeth she asked, “What do you want with that bitch of a sister? Don’t mention her name to me, you understand?! Get out!”Lily smiled; really it was so amusing to see this woman at the bottom of the barrel. She couldn’t have gotten any lower.“Why? I’m only here to ask a few questions. You’re her sister so I came to you.” Lily acted so innocent, but on the inside she was crowing with guffaws.Sophie snapped, and raised her voice screaming at the top of her lungs, “Just GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!”To which Lily replied simply, “Bo.”Silence filled the jail and the werewolf took a step closer to the bars of the jail cell, where Sophie saw a gleam in the woman’s eye for the first time.There was something unnaturally menacing in them, and the convict couldn’t help but whimper inwardly.What was this woman?Lily smiled at the poor woman’s fear. “I just need your help
Anna checked the things on the desk more than three times. It was already 11.56am and she hadn’t seen nor heard anything about the man she was PA to. A quick search made her aware of his name - Damon Erikson. A man of many talents, the Forbes article had said. But aside from that, he had barely any discernible information on the web.At exactly 12pm, all of that changed as a hush broke out in the entire top floor.“Welcome back, sir.” Anna raised her head as she heard that and saw a handsome man walking up to her and the CEO’s office.Was this him?Anna’s eyes ran up and down the man’s figure, committing it to memory. He was tall, just as tall as William, and just as impeccably dressed. He wore sunglasses too, and she couldn’t see his eyes well.She stood up awkwardly as he reached where she was.“Anna, isn’t it?” The voice of the man was a posh London accent, one which definitely could make women swoon. He held out his hand to her. “You’re my new PA. Congratulations.”Anna said thank
Lily sighed, giving up the game.She slid a picture over to him, and he picked it up, glancing down at it.“She’s pretty. Is she a model friend or what? Do you need me to off her?” Vance asked with furrowed brows.“Be serious.“ She snapped at her ex boyfriend, as the waitress dropped the cake and coffee for them.In these parts of the city where criminals resided, talking about killing someone was like talking about the weather. Therefore, the peroxide bleach blonde waitress was unmoved and minded her own business.That was how one survived long enough to settle down, after all.Lily took a sip of her coffee and a forkful of cake while Vance waited.“Well,” he asked. “Don’t make me wait, flower girl.”“It’s Lily.” She sneered, “You said my name not long ago, but of course you might have forgotten that. What with the number of girls your dick sees every week. It must be hard for you to keep up with your own antics sometimes.”Vance gave her a look up and down, before saying, “It has be
Anna was escorted up the stairs by Ethan as he led her back home after the date.The night had been wonderful, and she felt lighter, like things were turning up in a positive direction for once. He had acted like a gentleman, turning up the charm by a lot.However, she had been unable to broach the subject on her mind with him. So when they stopped right at her front door, she pressed her hand against his chest to stop him from leaning in to kiss her.“Ethan,” she sighed softly. “I wanted to ask… after your fight with William, what happened?”Ethan was prepared for this. She had been acting off nearly the entire night.“I got exhausted and wanted to rest.” He replied easily. “I told you, didn't I? In my message. It wasn’t exactly the right time for me to reach out.”Anna felt bad for thinking he was lying to her, and she felt angry at William for causing all of that.“From now on, don’t stay away.” She implored him. She may not have felt the same sort of spark for him that she felt fo
The man made a sound in his throat that sounded almost like an hum of affirmation unwittingly, and Aiden saw the flash of fear and hesitation in his expression. His face, though bloodied and bruised, was still very easy to read.This man may not have known much but he did know something. Something about the girls, or who had killed them. And that something would help them figure out whether this was a werewolf’s doing or not.Aiden was willing to bet that it was werewolves, but he didn’t want to move without a firm confirmation. No need going after human gangs that simply did a little too much. That kind of shit was for the police to handle.“Tell me,” Aiden leaned in. “Or I will take my hands off this. And trust me… you don’t want that. My boss is far worse than you could ever imagine.“The man didn’t respond, and only stared over Aiden’s shoulder. After waiting a long time, he sighed and nodded, before standing up.“Take him to the other room,” the Hunter instructed another of his s
It was so quiet, a pleasant end to the day.Anna yawned a bit as she left the bathroom, her bladder emptied for the night. She barely gave her phone a glance as she switched off the ceiling lights on autopilot, leaving only the lamp at her bedside table glowing in a soft golden hue.No sooner had she tucked herself under the blankets did her phone begin to vibrate where she had left it on the bedside table.Anna groaned; it was already nearly midnight! Who could be calling at this time?!She reached for and picked it up after a few more moments of silent fuming, her moodiness increased as she saw there was no name on the caller ID.“Hello?” She asked in a groggy voice.“Why haven’t you unblocked me yet?” It was William’s voice, sounding displeased.The sense of entitlement that came from him was enough to fill the whole world with confidence, Anna mused irritably, and probably have some left over for the aliens. If there were aliens.“What is it? If I wanted to speak with you, I’d unb
William noticed Anna wasn’t happy from her voice, and he knew he must have said something wrong again.“That’s what you mean, isn’t it?” She continued, in the same tone. “Do you intend to have me hide in the shadows if I ever come back to you instead of facing the wrath of your pack that you screwed a human?”He was speechless.“It’s complicated, Anna. I’m not marrying Lily simply because she’s pretty. It’s a pack to pack alliance.” He tried to explain.But then…“I thought so. You never would actually take my side on something. You clearly just want to have your way but you don’t understand that it’s my life we’re talking about. And I need to be happy. I DESERVE it,” Anna hit back, emphasising on the word 'deserve'.William fell silent, and Anna sighed loudly.“I’m exhausted. I want to go to sleep now.” She declared, clearly done with the conversation.The call ended without another moment spared, and William was filled with such frustration that he tossed the phone without care onto
