ELODIEThe sun hit my face, prompting me to move into bed. Touching the side of the bed, I tried touching Tedros, but the side of the bed was empty.Opening my eyes, I glanced at the bed, but he wasn’t in sight. Just as I had felt, the bed was empty. I slowly sat up, my back aching as I moved. The memories of what happened yesterday flashed through my head. I barely remember what happened after he thrust in because, after a while, I fell asleep and awoke to find him still there. Pulling the blanket over my body, I got out of bed only to crash to the floor. My whole body ached so much that I could barely stand, but the ache was more in between my legs. I knew he was huge, but I had no idea he was that huge to make me unable to walk. Just how long had he done it? I was sure that I had woken up tons of times and found him on top of me.I wondered where Tedros was; had he already gone to work? I held onto the bed and slowly stood, my legs shaking as I climbed back into the bed. Laying

ELODIEStunned, I stared at him, hoping that I had heard wrong.“I shouldn’t have done it.” He responded. “I went into the room to tell you I couldn’t do it, but I guess I forgot about it.”What was he talking about? He didn’t act like that the previous night. “Let’s just forget it ever happened, okay?” He raised his brows at me, waiting for a response. Looking away from him, I tried not to snap at him and asked him what he meant by that. It was clear that he didn’t want me, and he even regretted sleeping with me.“It’s alright,” I mumbled, lying. “Aren’t you heading to work? You should get going.”I bit my lips, suppressing the tears threatening to drop from my eyes. I couldn’t bear to look at him, knowing fully well that I was going to cry if I looked at him.“Okay.” He replied.“Was the money in my card enough?” I asked, changing the topic.“It is enough.” He answered.“Okay.”He didn’t move for a few minutes, but when he did, I stared at my reflection in the coffee, and the tear

“We brought the money for the payment of the loan,” I announced this as soon as I stepped into the base of the loan sharks. The building was luxurious, with bright lights that showed around the place. Seven men were in the living room, two sitting and the rest standing. Each of them had a cigarette on their lips.However, the biggest man in the middle of them all caught my attention. He had a scar on his left eye and down to his upper lips. From one look and the scent I had perceived from them, they were werewolves. The biggest man was a beta, and the rest of them were omegas. Yet each of them had a terrifying aura that distinguished them from all the other omegas I had met. Perhaps it was because they didn’t belong to a pack. They were rogues.“Welcome.” The one with the scar said, “So, you are Tedros, the brother of Cole?”Ignoring his question, I gestured for one of the men who had come with us from Elod’s security. He approached me with the briefcase.“We are here to pay back t

ELODIE Huh? What was he interested in? My look hadn't given away the fact that something had happened. “What are you talking about?” I questioned, getting nervous. “Nothing really happened.” He frowned at me before taking his seat next to me. “You don't have to lie to me, Ducky; from the look on your face, I can tell something happened.” I gulped. I didn't see his look alike this time, so there is a probability that he wouldn't show up again. “Nothing happened.” He gave me this serious gaze that made me feel like I wouldn't be able to lie to him anymore. “I–” “Was he here?” He questioned. Blinking, I stared at him, confused. “Huh?” “Don't give me that gaze; was he here?” I looked away from him. Did he know about his lookalike? I haven't even told him about the illness he has, but has he met anyone else? “Talk to me, Ducky; what did he say this time?” He demanded. “Huh?” I asked; he hadn't said anything to me the other time. Turning my head to look a

ELODIEAfter Tedros retired to his room, I spent a few more minutes making coffee, which I ended up not drinking because it turned cold from me staring at it. Heading to my room afterward, I had a cold shower, changed into my night dress, and hopped on my bed, trying to sleep.I tossed around the bed, unable to sleep. I stayed that way for a few hours before rising from the bed in a sitting position. I have to head to work tomorrow, and I need to sleep. Laying back on the bed, I pulled the pillow to my ears and covered them. In a few minutes, the sound of footsteps reached my ears, and for a second, I thought it was Tedros, but listening carefully, I could tell it wasn’t him. The footsteps were coming from outside, from my window.Then, the sound of a rock hitting the window caught my attention. I checked the time, and it read 11:59 p.m. Getting out of bed, I headed for the window. The only person who could visit at this time was none other than Lucas. I wondered what he wanted this
