East Lobby

Chapter 5 Angelina POV

Angelina POV

While the day was hard to concentrate knowing he was out there, a happy distraction appeared when a edible arrangement delivery driver walked into my lobby.

“For Angelina Russell” he reads out the card on the gorgeous chocolate strawberry arrangement. It took about 5 whole seconds for me to realize it was me he was talking about. Spaced out thinking about food, I blink a few times.

*earth to Angelina, that’s you retard!* my wolf taunts out.

“Angelina?.. oh heck that’s me. I’m Angelina Russell! Hehe…” I nervously laughed, “thank you sir!”.

I grab the arrangement from him politely and he went on his merry little way while I scarfed down a few delicious strawberries. I see a note. Dread fills my chest and I swallowed the huge lump I had in my mouth hard then sat down staring at it as if it was the devil himself, remembering what I had read earlier. My hands began to shake,-f**k why is this so hard-

*let’s just get it over with who knows who it could be from. Maybe it’s from Mr.Mirra*Adeline teased and snickered.

“Thank you for all you do.

Would you like to go out for coffee?”

That was it. It didn’t say who it was from. I sighed with relief yet I had to know who it was from.

*Ooh looks like you have a secret admirer somewhere here*

-I’m gonna give your 2 seconds to shut the hell up and run to the back of my head. Yes, I know I need to figure it out who sent this. But if it’s who I think it is I’m in worried.- I pouted.

The work day was slow and I got fewer phone calls than normal. Which is fine, answering them and not being a fool is a win to me. Still unsure how I managed to keep this job for nearly 3 years knowing damn well when I answer the phone I still get tongue tied. Not to mention I get easily distracted by all the sexy stiffs in suits especially when they glance my way and give me their tantalizing smile. The thought alone gets me wet.

*the big boss isn’t too bad looking himself isn’t he?*

-stay out of my thoughts!- I bantered.

*Hard not to when I live in your messed up head honey* Adeline purrs back at me.

Not realizing I made at face at her comment when a lady on her phone walking by gives me a odd scowl. I try to reassure her by smiling back, though it was a nervous smile and I’m pretty sure I made it even worse.

“She’s wierd, not sure why…” I hear her say into the phone before it trails off.

-That lady couldn’t be talking about me? Right?-

*Hey dumbass, they don’t have many wolves like us in the city. We work with normal ass humans who have no idea we even exist* Adeline ever so delicately and sarcastically reminded me. I sigh and nod my head, she was right yet again.

As the day was coming to an end I started to worry. My heart started to drop into my ass it felt that heavy with dread. Something was up. I just didn’t know what it was. He knows where I work, where is he? What does he look like now.

Fellow coworkers started to head home early. I didn’t blame them as it was Friday evening and the big boss didn’t mind some of these high rollers to head home early. I on the other hand liked to stay late, even though I’m salary. I took pride in my work here in the human world.

As a kid I never understood how the pack could maintain itself. Everyone was a savage as far as I could remember. To which was the reason for me leaving. Stupid mates, and bonds and the damn rituals. I was over it, I escaped. At least I thought I did.

I saw a familiar face walk by flashing me a dazzling smile and a pair of gorgeous sky green eyes pierced into my soul. My woman hood started to heat my entire body.

*how can a man in a suit arouse you so easily?* -can’t deny a good suit and confidence is attractive as f**k girl.-

*I’ll agree with you there, though he looks familiar and so does his scent.* I inhale slowly. She was right, I recognize it.

-we work in the same building a lot of these scents and faces are familiar- no response for once from the weirdo in my brain.

Hmph. I start to feel heat on my back a slow burning sensation. A feeling I’m all too familiar with. One that no one could remotely forget. Fear and dread fill my mind and soul.

Out of no where a hear his smooth voice once again bringing me back from my thoughts.

“Hey, so want to get some coffee?” Chris said.

Standing in front of me with his beautiful bright and bold blue eyes, scruffy peach fuzz beard and dirty blonde hair fade cut hair pulled back into a short ponytail. He was a clean crisp man in a dark grey suit. Confidence oozed off him and boy did it make me weak. If I didn’t know how to answer a phone, I sure as hell didn’t know how to talk well with him around.

“Wait that was you?!” I said shocked.

“Yes, i thought it would be nice to get to know you more. Who else could…” stopping himself mid sentence and tried to be reassuring and respectful instead.

“I thought it was.. never mind.” I paused for a moment.

“Mate me.. I mean MAYBE..maybe?” I said softly and shocking myself i quickly covering up my absolute most embarrassing f**k up ever.

*bahahahah congratulations, you manage to screw this up in less than minutes* Adeline torts out with uncontrollable laughter.-you know I’m gonna have someone shave you next time we shift if you keep being rude to me!- *hmph, we shall see* she says snarling back.

He was absolutely un phased by my choice of words, in fact he just smile softly at me. Clearing his throat,

“How about after work?” He asks.

“Um let me see if my sitter is able to. Let me get back with you?” I said nervous as hell not knowing if having a kid from another man would turn him awake.

Back at the pack it would lead the child to being orphaned out or worse killed.

Unfazed yet again his smile grew bigger.

-gawh how could a man get that much more gorgeous, s**t. Im starting to act like a love struck yearling.- *bahahahahah* I just hear Adeline having a good laugh at my own expense. Brilliant.

“That’s fine, here’s my card with my personal cell phone number on it for you. Get back with me, soon. Okay?” I smile back, “okay I will.” He taps my desk before leaving.

A swarm of butterflies invades my stomach like I’ve fallen head over heels for the first time. s**t it’s been too long since I’ve had this feeling. Watching his juicy ass in them slacks as he leaves was icing on the cake for me. I could feel my panties soak.

*woah there…* I shove her back before she could even finish that sentence. I wasn’t in the mood.

I needed to call Ms.Blanche and ask her if it was okay. The phone rings but no one answers. Odd. I try again. No answer.

-must be cooking or something. She’ll call back, right?- *oh now you want my opinion.* I shake my head and shove her back yet again.

Getting up from my desk, I adjust my dress pulling it down. Honest to gods shocked that there wasn’t a moist stain from me soaking my own panties with my juices from my womanhood. Sigh. I grab my phone and purse and get up from my chair and leave.

I decide to walk a different way remembering I have a new stalker around.

I text ms.Blanche instead:

“Going out on a coffee date if that’s fine”

B: “have fun kiddo”

She responded swiftly.

-okay so she must have been busy to answer the phone.- I sigh with relief as I walk down the east corridor to the stairwell. Opening a new messenger tab to text Chris.

I open the door. Smash.

I bump into a large body and practically bounce backwards almost falling, but before hitting the ground they grab my hand catching me. I look up,

*s**t*”s**t” both Adeline and I say in sync.

A knot forms in my chest and stomach as I stare into the sky green eyes of doom.

A smirk stretches across his face, he pulls my petite body into his larger frame and holds me in close not letting go of my wrist.

“P-p-Perceval.. h-h-how d-did y-ou find me”I stuttered out slowly.

A growl leaves his lips before speaks

“What? No kiss?”

I remain silent, my back begins to burn. Sensations from all his markings and lashings on my body remember the pain. My whole body start to get weak and hurt.

Perceval takes his free hand and raises it to my face while I wince as he softly caresses my cheek. I try to to look away from him.

“I see how it is.” He growls. “You didn’t make finding you easy, I’d have never thought you’d vanish into a human area.” I still remained silent and ignored him.

“Our son is beautiful you know” he snarks.

My face snaps back at him, I’m pissed. No beyond pissed off.

“You keep his name out of your mouth you heart me?!” I shout out.
