Rafe ran out of the house as fast as his human legs could carry him but it didn't seem fast so he transformed into a wolf and sprang to Ivy's house. Rafe knew he had to be careful, he had tracked his brother Raymond, and now he was here. He had to get in so he rang the doorbell and called out Ivy's name. No one answered. So Rafe took a deep breath again and rang the doorbell the second time. He had to be calm and collected, he didn't want to perceive the situation differently. He waited a few minutes but no one answered so he turned his hands to a claw and opened the lock. Someone was screaming. It was coming from the bedroom. It was Ivy. What was going on? Behind the closed door, he could sense Raymond's presence. His brother was human but he could feel his heartbeat increasing. Raymond was agitated, he was slowly transforming into a werewolf. Rafe had to stop him. If he didn't, Raymond would expose the family secret and that would require that they kill Ivy, to conceal their
Ivy had strategically been avoiding the 'R' family. Raymond and Rafe. Whoever it was, she would avoid them. Work made it easier for her. She would go out early and come back late. Perfect plan. It was really going well, atleast, until that rainy morning.Ivy stood in the rain, her umbrella useless against the relentless downpour. She was already running late for work, and to make matters worse, her usual taxi driver had failed to show up. She was stranded outside her door, with no way of getting to the office in time for her deadline. Just as she was about to give up, a car pulled up beside her. Through the blur of the rain, she recognized the driver, and her heart sank. It was Rafe, the same man she had been avoiding since their awkward encounter the other night. He had offered to help her then, but she had refused and the moment had been filled with embarrassment. Ivy wanted to turn him away again, but the rain was still coming down, and she was in desperate need of a ride. She he
Ivy sat on her bed, flipping through the contract Mr Jones Vones had given her in shock. She had been warned not to speak of the things she would be asked to do, and the consequences if she did. The pledge at the end of the document made Ivy shudder. If she ever revealed what was asked of her, he would kill her. He also included that the mere fact that she knew about this contract was a threat to her normal life. She closed the contract. Ivy thought about the date with Mr Jones. He didn't look like the type to do a dominant and submissive kind of relationship. He wanted her to become his submissive. That was no ordinary job, she had browsed about it and saw that much. Did gentlemen really have these kinds of skeletons in their closet?A wave of fear and anxiety washed over her, making her heart race as her phone rang and Mr Jones' name popped up. She reluctantly picked it up. He spoke first. He asked if she had settled well at home. She said yes. He asked if she had seen the contract
Rafe had not seen Ivy for a week now and this bothered him a bit. He usually saw her whenever she was coming home from work but he hadn't seen her as of lately. He wondered why. He knew she was avoiding him but could she have gone all out to do that? "Why am I looking for her anyway?" He asked himself as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He often had conversations facing the mirror as though he really was talking to someone else who was also himself. It felt more comfortable that way.He had managed to convince himself that he didn't like her and was just trying to protect her out of the goodness of his heart and the fact that she looked like his lifetime mate who had died. He tried so hard to believe that but it was speedily failing.The way she made him feel told him differently. The feel of her skin on him made him think otherwise and even the thought of her alone made him excited. He tried not to show it but he knew he had started having feelings for Miss Ivy. That was n
Rafe laid on his back, breathing heavily and experiencing excruciating pain. He had just taken a bullet to his heart. Mr Jones Vones had shot him and he fought hard for Ivy, even with that pain. He had been shot but thankfully, those were rubber bullets. It still left him in pain and it would take some few minutes to heal but what he was more worried about was how to deal with Ivy. She had seen him turn from a werewolf to himself. He couldn't say it was a lie. He couldn't tell her she was hallucinating and neither could he tell her he faked it. What could he say? He opened his eyes narrowly to observe his surroundings. Rafe found Ivy leaning over him, inspecting his wound. Ivy had quietly crept into the room, carefully carrying a bowl of warm water and a soft towel. She had approached Rafe, who was lying on the bed and appeared to be unconscious. Gently, she placed the bowl of water on the side table and unfolded the towel. With a gentle touch, Ivy began to wipe away the dried bl
Rafe nervously stepped up to the door of Mr Jones Vones' house. His parents had told him the tales of Mr Jones Vones. The man's wealth and power, but he had not expected the heavy door before him to be guarded by a man with a gun. Rafe remembered that day like it was yesterday. He had been so scared and confused as he and his family stumbled into the city of Cayton. He was just fifteen years of age. Previously, his friends had told him. He had been warned of the dangers of the city, but the sight of the guards of Mr Jones' grandfather, Mr Cayton, had been the most frightening of all. He had been so hungry and exhausted, but he had never expected to be arrested. The guards had been harsh and unyielding, and Rafe had been terrified of what would happen to him and his family. He had been too small to do anything to protect them, and had simply stood there and watched as his family was taken away. He had been so scared and confused, he hadn't even been able to cry. But then, Mr Cayton
As Raymond pushed the door through, they both saw two men carrying someone wounded, heading to a door on the east. The stranger was in pretty bad shape,and it took Raymond about five seconds before he recognized the stranger to be his brother. He gasped. " Oh no! Rafe!!!!!!"Their father rushed by the two men who held onto his son and flung them away. Raymond ran to his brother to untie him.He tried talking to his brother but it was of no use. His brother had fainted, Rafe had a weak pulse. Raymond called out to his father."Dad! Come quickly, Rafe is not breathing. He's got a low pulse. Help!*His father who at this point was trying to fight off the two guards who had whips and iron rods, rushed to Rafe's side. Mr Jones knew this would escalate into a bigger problem on that spot and he had not enough manpower to back him down so he got out of his hiding place and ran out another door. Before leaving, he turned to his back and said "this is not over, I am a very vengeful man and I
Rafe's heart was pounding in his chest as he stumbled out of the door. He had been feeling weak and dizzy but he was determined to find out if Ivy was okay. He had to know if she was safe.Normally, he would run over there but today was not one of those days. He grabbed his keys and stumbled out into the night. His vision was blurry, but he managed to make it to his car. He fumbled with the keys, trying desperately to get the door open. Finally, he managed to get the door unlocked and he stumbled into the car.He quickly started the engine and drove off into the night. He was driving faster than he should have been, but he had to get to Ivy as soon as possible. He didn't know what he'd find when he got there, but he had to know if she was okay. The drive seemed to take forever, but eventually he made it to Ivy's house. He stumbled out of the car and up the steps to her door. He sniffed the air to take in her scent. Ivy's scent was present but it didn't seem like she was home. Perhaps
