“What is your problem?”
Kai clenched his jaw. “You are encouraging Oliver by being friendly with him.”
“How is this any of your business?”
“You are making a mistake. I told you Oliver would face the consequences of your actions.”
I responded. “You don’t want me as your mate so why does it bother you if I talk to Oliver?”
Kai nodded, “Alright, when I fire him you’ll know how serious my warnings are.”
I crossed my arms against my chest. “How many employees are you going to fire? I have half a mind to keep torturing you by not accepting your rejection and to keep flirting.”
Kai picked up his receiver. “Oliver you are fi…”
A big loud ‘No’ escaped my mouth and Kai stopped. I raised my hands in surrender, “Please don’t do this.”
Kai smirked and I wanted to smack his f*****g face. “Oliver, the file you sent to HR can you send it to me as well, please?”
“You are a f*****g asshole.”
Kai ducked his head. “You can go now.”
I sighed, “Just let me have lunch with him today. I don't want to be rude. I promise after this lunch I won't do anything.”
Kai nodded and looked at his laptop screen. I walked out of his office while cursing him under my breath.
The whole day I didn’t do anything that would bother Kai Parker and when it was time to go home I was consumed by misery and anger. I decided to go to a bar first before heading home. I told Mom and lied and said I'd be out with friends. While drinking I was drowning my sorrows I met a guy that was giving me all of the signals of wanting to get laid. I needed a distraction from the pain that Kai caused me. I swallowed my last tequila shot and stood up, “Where do you live?”
The guy held my hand and led me out of the bar. “I don’t live around here, but my hotel is nearby.”
“Lead the way, Casanova.”
The guy smiled and led me into his room. After shutting the door behind me he clung onto me and I didn’t like his kiss at all, but I kept my lips locked with his so that I would get aroused. When his hands started moving up and down all over me I started feeling my paws coming out of my chest. I tried to stop him but he didn’t stop until my wolf started to growl. He got scared and stepped back. “What is this?”
I shook my head and lied. “What do you mean?”
He stammered. “I…..I heard some animal kind of noise.”
I kept my hands at my waist. “Really? I didn’t hear anything. Maybe it was a street dog or a cat outside?”
How could you do this? My wolf asked in anger.
Just shut the f**k up, you just got me in trouble. I responded.
The guy asked. “Who are you talking to?”
Before I responded my wolf growled hard and the door of the room flung open, Kai entered and lifted the guy by his neck until he fell unconscious to the floor.
I was taken aback, “What the f**k did you just do? Are you following me?”
My wolf immediately took advantage of the distraction and came out. Kai watched and didn’t even flinch after watching me turn into a wolf. He came close to my wolf and started rubbing behind her ears instead.
“I know you are angry, but it's not her fault.”
My wolf growled and Kai calmed her. “Shh… no she didn’t mean to hurt me or you. She was just upset because of me.”
My wolf nodded and his hands moved to under her neck. “Just look into my eyes and you'll understand who I am.”
I looked into his eyes and I saw his wolf’s golden eyes and wondered how he never smelled like a wolf. Kai kept rubbing my wolf’s neck. “Now that you have seen my identity, can you please let Valeria return?”
My wolf growled low and he responded. “I promise, I will show you my wolf, but right now please let Valeria out. It's a request.”
My wolf started to give me back control within a few seconds and I was standing naked in front of him. Kai immediately took off his coat and gave it to me. I covered myself, but I had no strength to ask any questions. Kai immediately picked the guy off the floor and placed him on the bed then picked up my shredded clothes. He grabbed one of the guy’s shirts and led me out of the room.
“How have you hidden your identity for all this time and why would you?”
Kai sighed, “I have to hide myself because of my lineage. It’s rare and in our community no one likes us.”
“I accept that I had trouble recognizing you, but I can tell you are lying to me.”
Kai looked at me, “What makes you say that?”
I yelled at him, “Because you hid your original scent. Also, not a single lineage is more rare than the Halo lineage. So don’t play games with me.”
Kai looked away and asked quietly, “Tell me where you live and I’ll drop you off.”
I snatched the guy’s shirt and removed my coat. Wearing a shirt and a jacket, I climbed out of his car and rushed towards a cab waiting nearby. Kai called my name, but I didn’t listen. The minute I sat in the cab “Silverine Street” I told the driver.
I don’t know what the truth was behind all his lies but whatever it was I was determined to find out. I dialed Luke’s number but he didn’t pick up. I threw my phone in my bag and waited for the cab to reach home. I opened the door carefully because I didn’t want Mom to see me wearing someone else’s clothes. Before rushing into my room, I peeked into Mom’s room. She was snoring and I sighed in relief and immediately went to take a shower and erase the guy’s smell off of my body.
I was drying my hair when Elliot’s name flashed on my screen. I picked up. “How come my eldest brother called me today?”
Elliot responded, “Because your eldest brother is taking care of your third brother.”
“What happened to Lu?”
Elliot grunted, “He is wasted.”
I giggled, “You and Emmet should keep an eye on him.”
Elliot asked. “Why were you calling Lu?”
I lied. “Nothing just wanted to chat with him.”
Elliot replied icily, “Lu told you about our visions Valeria, so please refrain from lying to me.”
I squeezed my eyes shut. “I wanted to come and join you guys.”
“We are coming back tomorrow.”
I nodded and pretended to be chipper, “Oh that’s wonderful, I am so happy to hear that.”
“Emmet wants to talk to you.”
