Azrael“Where is he?” I asked the moment Reina opened her front door before she stretched her hand to let me in.“His been down since I brought him here. I’d love to stay and comfort him, but I have somewhere to go and I’m worried he’ll do something scary if no one watches him.” Reina said as she placed her hand on her hip.She tossed me the house key card before she pointed at the back.“His at the back.” Reina informed before she left without a noise.I walked to the back of the house where I saw Leslie sitting down on a chair with a black kitten on his thigh, purring low as he absentmindedly stroked.I walked up to where he sat before I sat beside him and yawned; that was enough to steal his attention.“Oh, it’s you.” Leslie looked dejected as he said that.He didn’t say my name? The source of his mood was obvious.“I’m not gr

I stared hard and long at the folder that contained our assumed stalker Nabi. As Azrael had said, her real name was Hannah Wellston. She would be twenty-eight years this year and her portfolio wasn’t exactly impressive nor the company’s standard but she worked as an intern and her weekly reports were actually very pleasant. She was pretty without a doubt with the sweetest smile almost like a child that it was almost hard to believe she was someone mentally unstable. In terms of relative, both her parents were alive, betas. She has a younger brother and an elder sister as well; sadly, the only address written was her parents and I’m honestly sure no sane parent would give their address to a stranger especially one who couldn’t tell a believable lie. I sighed before I heard the door open and hid the folder quickly in my bag because I didn’t want Ben to know. He tends to be too much of a worrywart than me. “Welcome home babe.” I said as I kissed Ben at t

The bathroom door opened and Ben came out, ready for work. He approached me and sat down before he touched my forehead. “Your fever dropped, that’s good.” Ben said as I smiled weakly. “You should go to work or you’ll be late. You’ve already been late too many times because of me.” I said as Ben kissed my head. “My job comes after you. You’ve been sick lately Leslie, are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?” “Hmm. I’ll be fine if I rest.” “Are you sure you’re not pregnant?” Ben asked and I hugged his waist. “No, I’m not. I take my pills; we use a condom and I did two tests with a kit last week.” I replied as Ben breathed out. “I’ll be home early, so rest. No working, no stress, no reading, rest.” Ben said as he kissed my lip before I chuckled. “I made no promises.” I joked as he pointed his finger at me before he left the room. Our trip to Sarah’s house, Isaac’s alpha wife was cut short because I was si

Erica had my hands handcuffed behind my back before she put on the television. I hated to admit it but she had carefully planned everything and no amount of miracle I could think of increased my chance of survival if shot. This wasn’t a time to be helpless; I needed to drop Erica’s guard down, enough to dial the police or anyone then have a conversation with her so they could understand the situation I was in. “Erica please may I have some water?” I asked as she stopped biting her nail. “Save that for your final moments.” She said as she waited patiently for the news to say something grand. “I really need water or I might die of dehydration before you kill me. I had some salty crackers when I came home and I haven’t taken a drink.” I requested before Erica sighed and walked away towards the kitchen. The moment she entered, I stood up and grabbed my phone. It was difficult doing things with my hand tied behind my back but I managed to separate

Azrael There was nothing new to the sensation of waking but the sensation of pain and sensitivity to light was something I wished never to experience again in my long shitty life. My eyes opened the first time and it took the annoying lights shining into my eyes for me to realize that I had almost died. I almost died from a gunshot because the cops were careless around a criminal simply because she was a woman. Leslie. I heard his voice; he was crying and apologizing. That dumb kid was always fond of getting into trouble but what happened wasn’t his fault. It was better me than him because if I hadn’t taken that shot, it would have surely hit a vital point. My instincts roared to protect him even at the cost of my own life. I closed my eyes again and when I opened it again; I was alone or I thought I was. “I’m impressed. I didn’t think you cared enough to take a bullet for some white kid.” I heard the annoying
