The two next days were the same as the last. Seth escorted me to work in the kitchen again, had breakfast while sitting in Jake's lap and spent hours working on my fighting skills with Gabe. I still am not strong enough to take on a werewolf but it's a start. Any time Gabe had me spar one on one with him, I landed on my ass every time. It's humiliating but it builds character. I'm also learning how they fight as well as how to fight them. I started and ended every day with my own workout routine. Shredding my muscles daily but it was necessary. Since I behaved, I am allowed to go running on my free time, but Gabe has to escort me, and even though I take Gabe as an i***t, he is not one I would try to fight. He has made it clear who would win.
Today, I start working with Jake, whatever that means. I start my morning with a few reps consisting of mainly push ups and sit ups, adding in a few burpees. I didn't want to push my luck on how far to push myself this morning because I was not sure what we were doing today and I need to be ready for anything. Jake escorted me to the kitchen for the first time. I was not expected to cook or set up the table. But he just sat me on his lap like the days before and ate breakfast. When we were done, I followed him up two flights of stairs to his office space. Taking in the layout, I realized that I have seen this office before. When I was scaling the roof, I saw this office. Well, at least I can keep an eye on Jake without him knowing, just have to be careful.
“Take a seat and we can go over your new position.”
Jake is already sitting at his desk so I take a seat in front of his desk as if I am a client. He hands me a pad with paper and a few pens.
“Sam, for now on you will be my personal assistant. You will do exactly as I tell you when I tell you to do it. If I want coffee, the coffee bar is in the corner, I like it straight black. For now I only want you setting up appointments for business, keeping me updated with my schedule, taking notes during meetings and cleaning this office twice a week. You will be given more professional clothes by tomorrow since you will be in meetings with my investors and colleagues. You will not embarrass me. Do not speak unless spoken to. Are you following?”
“Yes.” I smiled slightly, this will help me understand what all is going on so I can figure out the best time to escape.
“Good, here is a folder with basic information that will be discussed in my meeting today. Thankfully it's with a neighboring pack so I don't have to worry about your appearance at the moment. I also need two cups of coffee. Caleb will be here any minute. He is the Alpha to the pack north of us, just keep your head down and you will be fine.”
“Of course.” I smile and made my way to the coffee bar. Of course nothing was already made so it will be a minute. I fill up the machine with two cups of coffee beans and press start. Luckily, I already know how this machine works since I have the exact same thing at home.
A few moments later there is a knock at the door. Jake stands up and yells for the visitor to come in. A man walks forward in sharp business clothes. He is also well built and scary looking. He seems a bit older with grayish brown hair, clean cut but slumps his shoulders over slightly. I assume this is Caleb.
“Caleb! Always good to see you old friend.”
“Jake, always a pleasure. I see you have new help, hopefully she can actually make a decent cup of coffee compared to the last.”
They both smirked and I could feel their stares piercing through the back of my head. “This is Sam, she happens to be my mate even though she is human. She was a handful at first but is starting to fit right in, isn't that right, Sam?”
'Yes, let's mock the kidnapped girl. She doesn't have feelings.' I turn around and smiled, still waiting on the coffee to finish brewing. “Apparently so.” I can tell they feel the sarcasm just oozing off of me. Good. Jake told me to behave but that's literally impossible if he plans on insulting or tease me the entire time.
“Oooooo, looks like you have a fighter, I like her.” Gross. Just another old, perverted man.
The men sit down at the desk and start talking business. Sounds like Jake wants to move their territory borders over so they can have this open area that consists of a lake and waterfall that no one from Caleb's pack tends to use. The coffee is finally done so I very carefully walk the full mugs over to the men just as the conversation starts to feel a bit tense. Jake is trying to bargain for the extra piece of land but Caleb isn't budging.
I lean over the desk to put the coffee mugs in front of them. To do this I had to stand closer to Caleb than I wanted to and he seemed to take notice to that as well. I could feel his hand on the back of my thigh, as if to hold me so I don't fall over. Disgusting. I immediately put the mugs down and took a step away from him. He isn't even trying to hide it either. As we make eye contact, he smiles weakly and winks at me. Jake saw all of this and didn't even care. I continue to step back and circle around the desk so I can stand behind Jake like I do during breakfast.
