She couldn't find herself explaining to him as his domineering look got her scared. He seemed tensed, searching her eyes for answers and her only reply was;
"Who are you?"
This young man scoff, and pulled her closer to him. Her body rammed against him and she could feel his breath hovering around her face, her heart skipped fast and her body frozen as cold ran through her spin. At that close space, she felt the time has stopped. His blazing eyes resembles two liquid blue fire. Her eyes rolled to the table behind him which had a lot of jars and a dagger which seems familiar. She could tell he looked pained, agonized and nervous over the mother of this pup who was now the centre of attention.
"Tell me everything you know except if you don't want to leave here alive!" He raged and she swallowed hard, snapping to her back to reality. She could sense how dangerous he was just from his looks. Right that moment, she could trust such a person with information he required and the only negotiation she could think of before speaking was if the pup place in her care was safe.
"Before I speak...is the pup safe?"
Just immediately she uttered those words, she heard a wince which interrupted the heated up study room. They both gazed at the door and realized it was the pup which looked sick and weary striding towards them. Its ears were lowered against the head, its forehead corrugated due to its anxiety. He appears to be squinting while his muzzle quivering, his tail straighten upwards as he stops moving towards these two and curled himself by the door whimpering and terrified.
A sigh escaped her lips as she made a move to break out of his hold but his grip on her tighten and she winced pained while narrowing her eyes at him. Her intension was to take the pup with her and fade away from this arrogant man but it turns out that he wouldn't let go in a hurry.
"I would speak if you act gentle" she petitioned panting slowly and his hold softens on her. Stacy bite her lower lips, rubbed her wrist and then stepped back from him while narrating what transpired between her and the she-wolf. Everything was complicated for her and now this strange man was claiming the mother of this pup was his bride. His eyes suddenly bore sadness as he discovered that she was probably dead and this pup would be the next in line to death. He clench his fist and glanced at the pup with an indifferent look as hatred kindled in his eyes for the little child. This young man didn't want to express his despondent state to this lady who he had prevented not to go near that pup until his mind was made up.
They were opposite each other and she could see him pacing to and fro not considering the hungry pup which needed their attention. He suddenly stopped after a thought rang through his mind, took a glimpse at the nervous Stacy and said;
"Then you will fill in her space...that pup needs to stay alive at cost"
She blinked her eyes several, touched the tip of her nose and ducked her head at him as he seriously had a fixed glare at her.
"No" she refutes immediately as she had a lot on her mind. Why would she fill in the space when the only instruction she got from his mother was to protect the pup.
"You have no choice, you have to save yourself" he posed in a threatening manner and pointing at this pup who was growling frighten from this young man who looked daring. He further explains that she would be a nanny to this pup until he become of age and she being a witness would be helpful to follow up the murder of his bride. All he said never got her attention as she was perplexed by the sudden request. Despite his threat at, she refutes and stormed towards where the pup was licking its paw, looking downcasted with hope that someone saves his stomach.
"I know your secret...Stacy" he muttered coldly and she swiftly shoved her gaze at him. How did he know her name? It got her curious that she frozen to where she stood which was an inch close to the pup.
"Who are you?" She question with shaky eye balls at this young man who trod close to the window.
"I should be asking you that... everyone thinks you're dead, who knew we would meet this way?"
Panic flushes around her as she held her chest which was aching. Meanwhile, this pup had crawled to Stacy's right leg and held the tip of her pant with its fang pulling her away from this man.
"How do you know about me..."
"Let's drop the honorifics and get straight to the deal... Stacy, you must have forgotten you were quite the celebrity recently" he mocked as she folds her lips and lowered her eyes at the pup. Her hands reached for him as she curdles him with a scared gaze at this man who could determine her existence and those of her loved ones.
"I don't know what you're talking about" she pretended mustering courage as possibly he was trying to make her petrified. However, he suddenly brought out a dagger from a drawer close by and wave it at her face. The pup hid his face on her breast immediately it sights this dagger and Stacy felt like exploding right there.
"What's the deal?"
She beckoned breathing heavily as she wonders how he had a dagger which belongs to her years ago.
A sided smile left him as he raked his left brows. Currently, the tables would be turned to his favour. Who would definitely let go of such a woman whose mysteries were known in the whole of the wolverine society? Though no one knew her facial but he does as they had had an encounter a certain night and probably, she must have forgotten because of her unstable memory.
"I would own you" he whispered pointing the dagger at her and her grip around the pup became stiffen.
"This dagger is the only thing that could end you Stacy... you've got no choice than to become mine"
"Why? I don't have what you're desire" she snapped confidently and he scoffed gnashing his teeth. He would have killed her when his car almost ran into her but he had recognized her and the pup even before that.
"That includes your body Stacy, certainly you have what I desire!" he retorts as her questions were getting on his nerves. Annoyingly, he flips off the jars on the table at her feet and she frets shuddering with the pup in her hand. His patience with her was becoming limited and it was best he doesn't hear her voice.
Stacy nodded as their eyes locked and she could see his blue eyes had become mauve and fur sprang out from his body and chin bone.
He gasped intending to control himself from not hurting her as he was getting infuriated. She suddenly felt they had met before if he was holding on to a dagger which she had misplaced. There was no trace of fear in her eyes as what bothers her was how he knew her facially when she had never revealed her identity to anyone and even if anyone knew her, they never recognizes her again but he was different. This young man could tell she was no different from the past, being fearless during a transformation and wonders if she could shape-shift. His anger also lingered around the pup and had to retrain his claws from harming the pup in her hold and he ordered she leaves quietly as he desires privacy.
This curious lady just needed to know who he was but then couldn't defile his order at that moment and besides, the pup was weaken from hunger and she needs to feed him. However, before she left, he told her to get ready for tonight.
As soon as she stepped out without further questioning, he shape-shifted back into a human and raked his hair.
"I found her...after all this years..." He paused and threw the dagger back on the table.
"Ava...I found who could end everything, I have to mate with her tonight" he murmured and glanced at the door.
