Karen.
I woke up to find Oscar pacing in the room. I began to fear that he would kick me out. Those things were after me and not him. Since he was a werewolf, I knew they would have a hard time getting to him. I needed his help, at least until I figured out what to do.His pacing meant he was contemplating something. Was he going to give me up and let them get me? He had no reason to protect me or to hold on to me. I was nothing to him. I knew I had to find another way. Not wanting him to officially kick me out, I stood up immediately.
"Do you have pants that I can borrow?" I asked him, and he looked at me, surprised.
"I have to dress up so I can leave," I told him in a matter-of-fact tone."Where do you think you are going to?" he asked, and I realised I didn't have that part figured out.
As things were, I might as well fire myself. I had paid the rent on my old apartment and held on to the keys. I still had some money from what they gave me tucked away somewhere in my old apartment. It could last me three months. I figured I might skip town and go far away from werewolves and vampires.
"Away..." I answered in a not-so-certain tone, and he began to laugh.
"You think skipping town will protect you?" he asked me, and I just stared at him."There is nothing here for me. You don't want to be in this mess, which means I no longer have a job. They know that apartment which means I can no longer live there. I have no friends or family members I could crash with and hide in their place till the matter dies down. All I can do is skip town." I explained, and he walked up to me and kissed me.
It was awkward judging the situation we were in. Did this mean I still had my job? Thank God. I needed to impress him, so I returned the kiss the best way I could.
He took off the shirt I had on and laid me on his bed. Then he took off his clothes and began to kiss me. I had never touched a masculine man before. My ex was lanky and slim. This was all new to me but feeling his abs felt good. He placed his hands on my breasts, and I moaned.
He went straight for my breasts. I knew he had a thing for boobs anyway, so I wasn't surprised but the pleasure I felt surprised me. He moved from my breasts to my belly button, and I felt a longing; I felt a wetness and ache between my legs. I wanted him to continue what he was doing to me. I moaned and asked for more, behaving shamelessly. The pleasure had overridden my shame.
Oscar pulled back and looked at me, surprised, " I didn't expect you to respond that well, after all that happened and knowing that I am a werewolf. You were hysterical just now," he said, amused. The shame slowly began to creep in."Does this mean I still have my job?" I asked, and he laughed."After all that you have just seen and been through, you still want the job?" he asked, amused by my question.I paused for a while. It wasn't like I had a choice. I needed the job, and now I needed protection too. Hanging around Oscar was the wisest decision in this situation."The answer is obvious, isn't it?" I asked him, and he laughed.
"Well, but protection wasn't part of our agreement," he stated, and I stood up immediately. I needed the protection more than the money. I didn't have a bargaining chip, so I decided to beg."Please, Oscar. I need protection more than money. I will do anything for protection." I pleaded."I never said I wouldn't protect you; I simply stated it wasn't part of our contract," he stated, and I relaxed a bit. Being around him made me feel at peace. Even though he was a dick and a douchebag."So what will you want in exchange for protecting me? I have already signed off everything I can offer to you." I pointed out honestly, and he smiled."Let us see it more like a form of charity." He said and smiled."Why do they want to kill me, Oscar?" I asked. The reality of my situation had crept in on me again. I wished he could continue what he was doing earlier. It made me forget a bit."It seems you are related to Giles Hunter, and he is not a good man," Oscar told me."I don't know anyone by that name," I protested. "Please tell them I have no family. I can drop the name if it bothers them so much." I pleaded, almost in tears. I began to have flashbacks of how they broke into the apartment, their angry stares and snarls. I never knew those things existed. The shock of what had happened still upset me." It is not as easy as you think, Karen," he said to me, and I started to cry from fear. He drew closer and wrapped his arms around me to comfort me. The moment he held me, I felt a calmness wash over me. I held him back."You need to relax, Karen. I will try to get to the bottom of this. I can't make you promises because I do not know what is happening either, but I will try." he said and held on.I appreciated Oscar's honesty. He wasn't promising me anything, which meant I needed to think of a plan. Skipping town seemed to be the most reasonable option, but I needed money to do that successfully.I wondered how long Oscar would allow me to hang around him before he got tired of the baggage I unconsciously brought. I dreaded being on my own right now, but I couldn't control him, neither could I control his decision. The way those wolves had spoken to him meant he was a leader of some sort. For how long would he risk himself for a total stranger? Could he even do it? We had no ties binding us. He had only tried to help me. I needed to be ready for whatever was to come because Oscar could get a call or change his mind, and I will be on my own.When I thought things had begun to look up for me, this happened. I was the most unlucky person in the world. I stayed in Oscar's arms, scared and uncertain about my future.Oscar.I got up from the bed and began to pace back and forth in the room. Karen was fast asleep, so I made an effort not to wake her up. She looked amazing, covered in my sheets. It was hard to believe that a woman, as beautiful as she was, had never been with a man before. She was extremely gorgeous, and I knew it wasn't the mate bond that was causing me to see her this way. She was breathtaking. Being with Karen was amazing. I felt calm like never before. I had never been with a virgin. I usually avoided them because grooming them was a lot of work. Karen was different. I knew when the time came, it would be awesome. Although I looked forward to it, I was willing to wait a bit, just to be sure I could handle what was happening. No matter what happens between us, I knew I could not allow myself to fall in love with her. The peace I had experienced with Karen was worth risking a lot for. She was just amazing. Her response to my touch was incredible; if I didn't know better, I woul
Oscar.When I arrived at Alpha McCain's house, I noticed that the werewolves were taking a defensive stance. They must have thought I had come to fight. I had to let them know that I came in peace, yet they did not relax. I wouldn't blame them. I had killed one of them the night they attacked Karen. They had reasons to be scared and be on their guard. I was ushered to a waiting room, where I was served a drink. I didn't want to drink anything, but I knew I was being watched, so I took a sip."He will be joining you soon, Alpha Wilde," McCain's Beta told me in the most respectful way he could manage. The truth was, I had risked my life visiting. All they had to do was kill me, and my pack won't have an Alpha, and then they could take over. Unlike McCain, I had no mate and no offspring. It would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.I was nervous, but I didn't let it show. I was doing all this for a woman that I did not love, a woman I didn't intend to end up with, a woman I was going
Karen. I woke up in an empty bed and began to panic. Although Oscar had given me his word, I didn't know him well enough to trust him. For all I knew, he could be out there negotiating with the werewolves on how and when to hand me over. I didn't know what to do. The house was in the middle of nowhere. There was no way I could outrun the werewolves if I tried to escape. I had to hope that I could trust him. I went out of the room to find the kitchen. I hadn't eaten for over twenty-four hours, and all the anxiety and making out had gotten me quite hungry. When I got to the kitchen, I found a lady there. She introduced herself as Riley, and she seemed nice. Riley sat at the counter eating a sandwich. "You are up," she said with a smile, and I nodded. "Hungry?" She asked, and I said yes. She made a sub for me, and it was delicious. I left her and returned to Oscar's room to watch some television. I could not focus on what I was watching because I was worried about Oscar's intentions.
Karen.We returned to town the next day. We went straight to Oscar's residence. I was given a room on the first floor where the live-in workers slept. It was comfortable but not as luxurious as having an apartment all to myself, but it was much better than my old apartment. I also knew I was safe. My safety trumped luxury anytime.As I sat on the bed in my new room, I began to wish we were still in the house that was in the woods. Although I was hiding there after having a close-to-death experience, I liked that Oscar and I were in the same place. I had noticed his attitude changed towards me the moment we arrived at his house in the city. He was a bit formal and less caring. I didn't know if it was for show or if that was his new attitude towards me, but I decided not to let it bother me. I wondered how my life would be, looking onward.I remained in my room all day. Soon it was dinner time, and a young man came to call me."Miss Karen, you will be having dinner with the family tonigh
Karen. When we got to Oscar's room, all we did was watch comedy movies. Comedy seemed to be his favourite genre. For someone that was always serious, it seemed unbelievable. He was also a sort of comedian himself because Oscar mimicked his mother and Tabitha while we laughed. He wasn't even angry. With the way he had reacted towards his mother, it would have been fair to think he would be fuming in his room. Though he was irritated by his mother's actions, he wasn't angry with her. I needed to understand what his mother had meant by a mate. It was so weird and sounded out of this world to me. Usually, a man meets a girl, they fall in love, get married and begin to have children. In her case, she had chosen someone for him because he didn't seem like he was ready, but instead of a wife, she used the word mate. It sounded like something animals do. I knew he was a werewolf but did that qualify him as an animal? Maybe the supernatural kind. I was just too curious to let it pass, so I d
Karen. The day at his office felt weird. After the whole issue with the werewolves, I never imagined that I would be able to return there. Everything was normal except for the fact that I remained in the same space Oscar was. I had to sit in his office all day. Tabitha kept coming to check on Oscar. She looked contemptuous every time she saw me on the couch, minding my business. The woman was trying too damn hard to get Oscar's attention. He knew but wasn't willing to give her the attention she sought, and she refused to take the hint. "Is she going to sit here all day?" Tabitha finally asked.Oscar looked at me and then looked at her."Are you going to keep barging into my office all day?" He asked her, and she was silent. I bet she didn't see that coming. Maybe she thought Oscar was so hooked he would do anything for her. News flash, did she ever check the meaning of player? "I came for our usual meeting," she said to him, and he dropped the pen."Your services are no longer need
Oscar. I knew there was something weird about the cafe the instant we stepped in, but I didn't want to spook Karen. She felt at home in the place, and the workers seemed kind to her. When we finished our meal, I asked Karen to wait for me in the car, so I could see the owner. The supernatural aura of the cafe baffled me. The manager was quite hostile towards me, which indicated she knew what I was. I could deduce this simply because no human in her right mind would be hostile towards me. I was the richest man in the country. I owned all the big businesses in the city. That city owed its survival and its commerce to my pack, and I was single. Every human woman, except for Karen, threw themselves at me. But this particular lady was very hostile. When I got to the owner's office, I realised why. They were witches. Although the covens were eradicated by the Hunters, there were survivors, and all of them either skipped town or went into hiding. I had just walked into one of their hiding
Karen. Oscar seemed a bit off when he returned to the car. I was hoping he would share what was bothering him without asking, but as things were, I knew it was best I kept my curiosity to myself. He had that 'do not disturb' look on his face. "I was hoping to spend the evening at the park," he finally spoke, and I smiled. Maybe there wasn't any trouble. I might have just been reading meanings to his facial expression. Besides, I couldn't know how he felt. The park was empty when we got there. It was as if the people had got wind of our arrival and cleared out. It was a private park; therefore, I suspected Oscar might have booked ahead. I wonder why he would go through this much trouble for his plaything. I kept my remarks to myself, hoping not to spoil the mood. He was a big shot. Maybe he didn't want to be disturbed. "Have you ever spent time in a private park before?" he asked me as he took off his suit and dumped it in the backseat of the car. He did the same with his tie and un
