05 Who touched her?

Veera, walked back and forth in her room.

The killer had found her!

He was here in the same hotel as her!!!

How was this all possible?! Could it be all a coincidence?

Of course it could, I mean his rich and powerful, and checked in one of the finest hotels in Hawaii. So the killer is out on holiday, big deal. Let him enjoy his time.

Be cool, Veera. This could be a serious case of mistaken identity.

There could be a hundred Ares Cascatas out there.

Veera quickly did a search on the web and she was dead wrong.

He was also on Wikipedia!

Even his profile picture was breath taking. Veera shook her head at her sudden lusty thoughts about him, and reminded herself that he was a bad guy.

Everything was written about him, excluding the part where he was a damn killer.

Veera quickly called up Leo on her Whatsapp, doing a video call.

The phone rang many times and after the fifth ring Leo answered, wearing only his boxer shorts. Veera had to look away and talk to him.

"Vee, this is seriously not a good time to call...I'm in a middle of something important"

"Baby, come back to bed." Cora called out.

"I'm sorry to call you late, but it's important!"

"Vee I'm in the middle of happy hour, I'm hanging up!"

As much as Veera wanted to hang up, she couldn't.

"Don't! It's code red!"

"What's going on? Veera is everything ok? I heard code red?" Cora grabbed the phone looking at her with concern. Code red was used when they had an emergency. This was a serious one.

"No it's not. The killer is here guys! His at the hotel." Veera stressed to her cop friends over the phone.

"You mean Ares Cascata?! How did that f^cker get there?!"" Leo said looking at her in shock.

"I mean...It could be just a coincidence his here right?"

"No, his definitely come for you Veera, as far as I know Ares has no business in Hawaii,"

Chills ran down her spine when Leo said that.

"Oh my god Veera, his bad news!" Cora said looking at Leo and then her.

"Sh!t. His going to take her."

Cora hit Leo on the arm and looked at him strictly as Veera freaked out.

"Ow, Cora! What?"

"Stop sounding like Liam Neeson! Veera his not going to take you, so here's what you're going to do. You're going to pack your bag, check out of the room and head straight for the airport and come here ok?"

"Yes, he can't get you if you come back Veera."

"He can't?"

"Yeah. Now pack your bag and get the hell out of there!"

"Ok!" Veera ended her call like she was on a mission and quickly packed her bag.

She quickly wrote Emerald a short letter saying she was going back to town early because of sudden work. She did not want to freak her out about the killer who was at the hotel and potentially come to get her.

Quickly locking her duffle bag, Veera went towards the room safe where she and Emerald kept their passports. Usually to travel to Hawaii, the girls did not need their passports; however they had a tendency to travel with their I.D’s whenever they left home.

As she opened the safe, Veera panicked that she didn't see her passport in the safe!

"WTF!! I kept it there yesterday?!"

Suddenly a message came through her phone startling her.

When she opened the text there was a picture of her passport.

Veera's heart raced. Someone had stolen her passport intentionally.

A text came through, from an private number.

Unknown: Looking for this?

How did they know I was looking for it?

Veera looked around the room and gulped thinking, that perhaps her room may have been bugged,

But now was not the time to search for hidden cameras. Veera looked back at the text and replied.

Veera: Who are you and why do you have my passport you piece of shit!?

Veera texted back in fury.

Unknown: I needed it to travel with you baby. So if you're done packing, come to 301 in about half-an-hour?

Baby?! Did he just call her baby?! Veera shivered at the strangers thoughts. Creepy guy.

Veera: I'm going nowhere with you a$$hole!

Then another picture came through and Veera fell to the floor holding her phone in shock.

Unknown: Your Aunt Rita is waiting...Oh wait she's sleeping as you can see on the bed.

Oh my god! His got Aunt Rita! She quickly texted ‘Unknown’ back.

Veera: Don't you dare hurt her!

Unknown: Of course I won't baby. I wouldn't do anything to upset you.

Then he sent her a picture of Amy, Angelo and Emerald who were at the pool, laughing as they played with a ball with each other.

Unknown: I won't harm your friends either. But my men might, if you don't come here within 15 mins.

Veera: I thought you said half-an-hour?

Unknown: I changed my mind beautiful ;)

Knowing all too well this was a trap, Veera had no choice.

She could have easily gone out the hotel and taken a taxi to the US embassy and reported it stolen and contacted Leo or Cora from there, but she couldn't even do that because her aunt was 'sleeping' or possibly drugged in a strangers room and her friends lives were at stake by the pool.

Veera grabbed her pepper spray and wished she had a baseball bat to at least try and attack the stranger, but she didn't have anything to defend herself with.

Walking fast to the next building with the rooms starting from 250, Veera quickly entered the lift and got on to the first floor fast.

Her heart raced not knowing who it was, but she had a bad feeling that it might be the Alpha she met earlier on.

Why on Earth did he even want to travel with her?

Now was not the time to question this. All she knew is she had to go and save her knocked out Aunt!

.

.

Veera walked carefully in the empty hallway, but as she turned the corner she yelped with another person equally startled to see her.

As they both calmed down Veera apologised and so did the male figure.

She was surprised to see someone whom she loathed.

"Little Veera is that you?"

"Jason?"

Jason was Aunt Rita's perverted boyfriend. Five years ago, when Veera used to live with Aunt Rita (whilst she attended high-school), Jason took a liking to her the moment she moved in. He was fifteen years older to her, and Veera hated how he looked at her.

"What are you doing here?"

He tried to give her a hug, but Veera kept her distance not allowing him to enter her personal space.

"Why are you being so cold to me?"

Veera mind took a trip down to memory lane

Because you're a pervert, you tried to kiss me when you were drunk, you came in to my room without knocking and almost caught me naked but thankgod I had my towel on, you also started stalking me when I came out of school, you hit on my best friend and I couldn't come home because I knew you'd be there to pounce on me when Aunt Rita wasn't looking.

She was reminded that she had to stay in the local library untill late hours just so that she could finish her homework up and then come home after he had gone. Of course there were days when Aunt Rita wasn't home, and Jason would still come knocking on the door asking for her instead.

This creeped her out, and when she turned 19 she immediately moved out of Aunt Rita's apartment and headed off to college. But now Veera was 23 and it had been a long time since she saw this douche bag again.

Hadn't Aunt Rita dumped him yet?

"I have my reasons."

"Oh c'mon, don't you know who bailed you out when someone planted the pot of weed in your locker?"

Thanks to Jack, she was reminded of that too.

"Yes, and I thanked you for that."

"Don't you think I deserve a hug sweetheart?" Jason's eyes raked down her body loving what she was wearing.

"No!"

Jason sighed and grabbed her hand pulled her towards him. Veera looked disturbed when he suddenly grinned and licked her ear tease fully.

"You know I missed you so much when you left, and if you're not going to hug me then at least give me a kiss?" He grabbed her cheek and kissed it, making her scream out of fear.

Veera's heart beated fast and she quickly pulled out her pepper spray from her back pocket and quickly sprayed it at his eyes. Jason yelled out of pain and let go, trying to rub his eyes.

Running with her bag heavily, Veera didn't dare look back.

"You bitch!! Get back here!!"

Suddenly a loud thump was heard and this time Veera looked back and she was surprised that he had suddenly gone missing.

Veera didn't have the time to go and find out where that crazy pervert disappeared off to. Right now, she had to wipe her stupid tears away and get ready for the next battle.

Standing outside room 301 Veera held her pepper spray tightly behind her back.

She knocked on the door

Again she tried

There was no answer

Knock Knock "Hello?" She called out.

No reply.

Veera exhaled and pulled the handle of the room down.

It was unlocked.

Veera carefully stepped in the dark looking room and she was surprised to find no one inside.

She looked ahead and saw a lying body on the bed.

Veera saw the body of her aunt on the bed.

"Aunt Rita!" Veera whisper yelled at her and shook her. But she was not responding.

Oh my god!! Did the mad guy kill her?!

Veera checked her vitals quickly and thank god she found her heart beating. Rita was fine she was breathing well too. But now was not the time for sleeping! There life was in danger, and Veera had to get her out of there.

"AUNT RITA WAKE UP!" Veera shouted at her ear, hoping to wake her up.

"Let her sleep." A dark deep voice sounded from the back.

Veera turned around and pulled out her spray. She saw a person with blue glowing eyes stand up in the shadows.

Fear trembled through as she realised she was now up against a Were.

"Who are you! Show yourself!"

The figure stepped out in the shadows and Veera's heart beated madly.

"Hello Veera."

Ares stepped to her closely, not touching her or grabbing her at all. He didn't even bother knocking out the pepper spray from her hand either.

Veera looked at him angrily and sprayed the spray directly in his eyes.

Ares took in the burning spray without a blink.

The spray finished out and Veera panicked shaking it, and trying to spray it once again.

Ares grabbed the bottle and threw it on the floor without breaking eye contact with her.

"What the heck?!" Veera looked amazed and freaked out at him.

"Pepper spray does not work on Were eyes."

"Then what does?"

"Fairy dust."

Veera gave him another confused look.

"What?"

Ares then blew a mysterious golden dust on her and watched as Veera inhaled it.

Her eyes fluttered and she fell week in her knees.

Veera turned on her heel and she wanted to run away from his sight. But her legs felt like jelly. What the hell did he do to her?! Fighting to get to the door Veera was suddenly caught by the waist.

He turned her around and Veera glared at him, fighting her sleep and pushed him away.

Ares let go of her giving her space and looked at looked down at her ever so calmly.

"Don't fight this, Veera."

If she could cuss at him, Veera would tell him to F off, but she shook her head at him, almost in a drunk state of manner and laughed at him at the same time, as if she was suddenly feeling ticklish, which was strange, because no one was tickling her.

No, that crap he blew on her was doing this to her.

Meanwhile Ares watched his wrist watch briefly, and then looked back at his precious saviour.

"You're not going to...get..away...with...mee.." Veera's body went backwards just as sleep took over her. He quickly picked her up bridal style and walked out of the room with a smirk playing on his lips.

One of his men stood outside the door and Ares ordered him to grab her duffle bag which she dropped on the floor.

The man nodded, taking the bag and closing the door behind her.

As Ares carried her he caught on to a different scent coming from her cheek.

"Did someone touch her?"

"Yes, a man tried to assault her, but she attacked him with the pepper spray and ran away."

"Who touched her?" Ares asked with his tone laced with fury along with his glowing eyes.

The man opened up a nearby room and showed Ares.

Growling at him tied up to the chair and knocked out Ares ordered his man to bring him along for the ride.

.

.

.

With Veera knocked out cold he put her in the back of a private car that led to a private air strip.

There awaited a private jet.

One of Ares men put Veera over his shoulder and placed her sleeping body inside the jet.

The plane took off and Ares smiled removing his seatbelt in mid air.

He put her head on his lap and stroked her hair gently, looking down at her as she peacefully slept.

"I can't wait to know all about your little secrets."
