Protect Her
Elena -POV
I sat up to find myself on the couch and the empty bottle of whisky. Great, now I understand the reason for the intense headache is a hangover. I struggled to find meds to quell the headache. After a few minutes of struggling, I found the medication. I looked around at the mess I had made in my room. The doorbell rang, and I knew it would be my maid. I opened it to find Mr. Ford dressed as a dapper.
“Still a hangover,” he said coldly.
“No shit, Sherlock,” I snarled at him, heightening my headache. He gave me a frown for lashing out at him.
“I came here to talk about business. It seems not the right time.”
“Wait, don’t you dare walk away from me,” I growled. He didn’t listen as he stepped into the elevator. He raised an eyebrow at me as I stepped into the elevator. His gaze gave me from head to toe, and I looked down to find myself still in camisole-laced pajamas, which showed a view of my breasts. I didn’t mind it, as it fixated me on getting answers from him.
“You are so eager to know.” Why does his voice sound so sexy and deep that it makes me stare at him like a pervert?
“Of course I am. You came last night to discuss the same thing.” He nodded.
“I wanted to say”. The elevator ceased suddenly, and I panicked. I am claustrophobic. Mr.Ford looked at me with concern as I felt the light head, and his warm hand held me close to him as his scent filled my nostrils. The dizziness and sweating, and shaking stopped, and I saw his sharp jawline closely. It makes it hard to miss how handsome this man looked. He could audition to be a model or could be an actor too. He still held me. My frame pressed against his hard rock chest. His blue eyes looked at me as if I was doing okay.
The light came back on the elevator. The elevator door opened, and the gasp of someone made me turn to look. I saw the resident of this building snapping a picture of Silas and me from his phone. I was still in Mr. Ford’s hold and quickly distanced myself from him, noting my closeness.
“Hey, you delete the picture,” I growled.
“Hell no, abusive bitch. I am going to make a quick buck” Mr. Ford stepped out of the elevator, and so did I. He held the phone to the guy and slammed him on the floor.
“You dare to say one more word? I will make sure you regret it”. The voice sent a shiver down my spine. It was dangerous. The guy backed away as if he saw a ghost.
“Elena, I suggest we talk another time,” he said coldly, back to his demeanor. He took off from the stairs, I think maybe headed to the parking lot. I went back to my apartment.
Silas - Pov
“Ray, don’t you dare push me back and take control of me,” I seethed.
“Fucking Human, dare to mock our mate.” He snarled at me.
“I had it under control. You didn’t have to step in. We are a human realm. We can’t display our superhuman power.” Ray snorted at my words.
Luckily, Elena didn’t see my eye color, or she would have asked so many questions. It surprised me that my secretary found a penthouse next to Elena, which is for good, I guess, or not.
I will help Elena with this mess that her fiance is creating, and then I will keep my distance from her soon. It will be for her good.
I drove to the office as there were a lot of meetings pending. Why was the image of Elena’s frame pressed against mine? Her sweet honey scent was alluring. I can’t think about other women even though she is my second chance mate.
Maya was my everything; moving on from her is something I can’t bring myself to do.
The phone rang, and I checked my caller ID: Mac. “Alpha, the elders want to meet Elena and take her to the Moonflower chapel to see if the check is a late shifter.”
“I doubt Elena is she-wolf. I only got her human scent, and I didn’t detect any wolf power or faint energy,” I explained.
“I will convey your words,” Mac said.
“I get it. I will try to bring Elena with me”, disconnecting the call. I park the car at my office building. The staff looked at me in surprise and fear as I walked to my office. It has been three and half years since I came to the human world.
I sit behind my desk. I asked my secretary to get all the details about Elena. Elena's ex-fiance was trying to stop her from working in the film industry.
“Mr.Ford”
“What is it, Kate?”
“Mr. Smith is asking for a meeting.” I raised my eyebrow in question. “ I mean, Ms. Hayes, Ex-Fiance is here to meet you” The asshole must be here because of the investment I am planning to put in the movie that had Elena cast as the actress.
“Send him in.” This asshole dares to show up at my office.
