The next day in the AE office.
Alaric took the newspaper to read as usual. His jaws clenched and he crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the dustbin.
“Damn!” He cursed as he banged his fist on the table. It left a huge dent on the table but he was too riled up to bother about it.
‘Ding…’ His phone rang with a notification. He threw a cursory glance at his phone kept on the table.
Seeing the name of the sender he grasped his phone and punched in his password quickly.
Sienna paced up and down the room, looking at her watch every once in a while. She had been wearing the floor with her continuous pacing for the past one hour. She felt like she would burst at any moment. So, she finally strode towards Jamie’s cabin. Her hands became clammy and her heart started racing as she neared the door. She felt like turning back and returning to her room. With shaking hands, she knocked at the door first softly but when she got no reply she rapped against the glass as loudly as possible. Still, there was no response. She was about to leave but the sounds of heavy breathing caught her attention. What if sir was having an attack? If she
Sienna licked her lips and she whispered, “Water… please give me some water…” Realizing that no one was around she cracked opened her eyes slightly but then shut it tight again. She hoped that she could keep her phobia of closed spaces at bay if she didn’t look around but it didn’t seem to work. She felt her hands become clammy once again and her breathing quickened. She tried to recall the feel of that man as he embraced her. This seemed to calm her down a bit. She took deep breaths and chanted, “Daniel must be waiting for my call… I have to get up and reach home.” She looked around the room frantically. Th
Alaric parked his car in front of a huge cottage nestled in the woods of Citervile. It was a dense forest about a hundred miles from the city. He had driven all night to reach the cottage as soon as possible. A yawn escaped his mouth as he stretched his arms and got out of the car. He drew in a deep breath as the cool wind slapped against his face. His wolf was purring with excitement. It was almost two years since he came here.*I am so glad that we are here. Please tell me that we will stay at least for a few weeks.* Liken said jumping up and down. *You will find out soon.* Alari
“It is such a pleasure to see you Mrs. Trotswood. Please come in…” Sienna said in a sweet voice. Rather than replying she just stretched her right hand.“Ummm… madam…. I…” Sienna stuttered, trying to think of a way to convince her. Mrs. Trotswood gave her a dirty look and dragged her out of the room. Then she shut the door with a bang and locked it up. Tears streamed down Sienna’s face as she begged, “Please give me some more time… I promise I will pay the rent…”
An intense rosy fragrance assaulted Alaric as he neared the storeroom. It was as if he had neared a garden where roses were blooming in full spring. He halted in his steps and took in a deep breath. A sweet smile spread on his lips and he closed his eyes, pretty much enjoying the moment. Liken was swooning at the smell. Warning bells went off inside Alaric’s brain but he couldn’t do anything about it. He walked inside the room hypnotized by the fragrance. It was as if his legs had a mind of their own. It was then he saw her for the first time. She was sitting on the chair. So, he could only see her side profile. Though h
The glass door of the AE's office swung open and everyone’s eyes flitted to the door. They were stunned to see a tall, handsome man dressed in an expensive suit enter the office with authority. They were even more stunned when he looked at his watch and said, “Why are you all still here? Isn’t it time to wrap up?”They were flustered but they soon filed out of the office in twos and threes. Their mind was plagued with millions of questions but they didn’t dare to ask any questions. They didn't want to displease him as he looked like someone powerful.
Alaric ran as fast as his legs could carry. He wished that the wind and the noise of the vehicles would drown the chaos of his mind but unfortunately, it did nothing. People watched him awkwardly as he zipped through the streets, bumping into people. At a crossing, He almost got hit by a car. Had it not come to a halt at the right moment, he would have been dead meat. “Are you mad? Do you want to die?” The disgruntled driver shouted, putting his head out of the window. Tearing his hair, he muttered,
The next morning Sienna woke up from her sleep to the sound of birds twittering outside the window. She didn’t open her eyes waiting for the alarm to ring. She turned to the other side causing her to fall with a thud on the floor. “What a way to start a morning!” She grumbled, unwilling to open her eyes yet. Did she have to fall in the morning? F***! How could she fall? She slept on the floor at home. She gasped as her eyes snapped open. She pulled the comforter around her as she looked around in panic. Memories flooded her mind…
