Killian: “Sergio Diaz, just the man that I was looking for.” I said, glaring at the man before shooting one of his bodyguards. The man’s body fell, hitting the ground as blood poured from his head. Vladimir did the same to the other one, watching as he fell to the ground, taking his last breath before Sergio had time to process what was going on. His eyes widened in surprise at my interruption, but he knew not to think of trying something stupid. If anything, he knew that I was the last person that he would want to mess with. And considering that he was doing something behind my back, he knew that I wasn’t here for a drink. “Killian Ivanov, to what do I owe the honor?” he asked, trying to give me the best smile that he could muster. He looked down at the man who was sitting on the desk. I could tell that this was the last thing that both men expected when they tried having this deal, but then again, the last thing that I would ever do was leave my grounds unsupervised. To say the
Eleanor:I hung the Alpha’s jackets as I finally found it in me to take a breath as I finished his laundry. The freshness of his clothes and the suite gave me a sense of satisfaction and contentment. And the fact that for once, I was actually being treated like a human, and for the first time since as far as I could remember, I was hit or yelled at, I couldn’t help but feel calm. However, I couldn’t deny it being somewhat difficult and tiring to get everything done. I could swear that he had too many clothes or that the maids of the pack never did his laundry. Whichever the case was, it took me hours to get everything through with, and though I did expect to initially be done around mid noon, it was now a while past nine in the evening. I did notice the fact that Liana was sure to not only keep me busy with work, but to also ensure that I had random breaks to either eat or even get myself a cup of coffee. The luxury of having to drink it was something that I didn’t expect, especial
Killian: I frowned as a clench made me freeze as I stopped in front of the sink, washing the ointment from my hand. The fact that the woman lied to me annoyed me more than I thought that it would, and considering that she was mostly either flinching or weary about her every move that she made only made me grow a lot more curious. I knew that she was still in my room, clearly debating or processing my words for a few seconds before she walked out, and I sighed, letting out a low breath before taking my jacket off. I needed to instruct Liana about getting the blood off my clothes after the encounter with Sergio earlier today. The Bernardi family were clearly making it obvious that they were not leaving without causing a fuss, and not that I expected any less anyway. They were often ones to come and leave with a fuss or carnage. This time, I just hoped that things would have settled when the wedding ended. But now I had a missing bride to worry about. The thing was, I couldn’t rea
Eleanor: I frowned as a heavy feeling settled in my chest as I walked out of the shower. The clench felt like my heart was being stabbed more than once, and for the first time since I could remember her hiding herself, ashamed, broken, torn, and abused, my wolf whimpered. I frowned and took a deep breath, wanting to calm her down as I tried understanding what was wrong with her. Since Elton broke her soul, she rarely ever allowed me to shift to begin with, fearing that he would hurt her more than he did to me in human form. I sat on the floor for a second and wrapped the towel around my body before shaking my head, allowing myself to take a deep breath as I composed myself. The fear that I lived through was one that I wasn’t going to go through again. Elton was not here, there was no reason for my wolf to be scared. I took deep and slow breaths, not wanting to sink into a dark abyss that I fought entering as I lived at that Estate by his side. “No one is going to hurt me here,
Killian: I frowned as I walked out of the bathroom, my chest aching as I shook my head, feeling my mate. I took a deep breath as I tried processing how the fuck that happened before my phone rang, breaking me out of my thoughts. I opened the closet to pick out my suit and I couldn’t help but feel somewhat amazed that Eleanor managed to finish all of them yesterday. Usually the girls would take a while and I would find a few missing. Now, all of them were ready and done. “Boss,” “What’s going on, Vladimir?” I asked, knowing that he wouldn’t be calling me this early in the morning unless it was important. “I just finished the search that you asked me to do about the new girl, Eleanor.” He said, and I hummed in response as I waited for what he was going to tell me. I put him on speaker as I got ready for us to go to the office. “There is no Eleanor De Luca, boss.” He said, and I frowned. The fact that a feeling told me that she was lying was something that I couldn’t ignore, but
Eleanor: I frowned as I opened my eyes to find myself curled up in a black duvet. The blanket that I had in my room, if I could call it that, was white. I sat up as the door opened, and my heart raced as I caught sight of the Alpha entering his bedroom. His eyes met mine and he studied my expression for a few seconds before taking his jacket off and rolling up his sleeves. The blanket was on my lap, and I had to fight my every instinct that begged me to run away and just hide. The fear that consumed me was one that reminded me of Elton, and that wasn’t something that I wanted. And considering that he asked who I was, it meant that he probably knew that I was Elton’s fiancé. “How do you feel?” He asked, taking me off guard. I didn’t respond as I looked down at my lap, anticipating what was to come. There were three options in this; the man was either going to send me back to Elton who would end up killing me. He could hold me hostage and use me for a ransom to gain something
Killian: “Let me get this straight, you are assigning me to clean your suite alongside Eleanor?” Natasha asked and I nodded, raising an eyebrow at her. “Don’t I do enough around the house already?” “All you do is sit on your phone alongside your mom while everyone else works.” I said, raising an amused eyebrow at the woman. Natasha was the one person that I never forced to do anything around the house. Her working in the house was not something that I liked to begin with, but I knew that it was because Liana wanted her to stay here after she completed her university, not wanting her to go and work for someone, not that I was going to allow her to do so anyway. And I didn’t mind, I loved her being around us, and the last thing that I was going to do was say something that annoyed or hurt Liana. “Excuse me, I do my nails and tend to my own business. Plus, mama often has me helping her.” She said, “Once every blue moon, and that is when she has too much on her hands.” I said, and she
Eleanor: “Don’t you have any other clothes to wear instead of this dress?” Natasha asked, taking me off guard. I shook my head and smiled shyly. “Not yet, no.” I said and she hummed in response. “Well, I think that we should go shopping this weekend. It would be our break, all the maids tend to take them in rotation, I can ask mom to arrange ours to be at the same time and we can go.” She said and I smiled. The fact that I didn’t have money was something that I couldn’t drop, but I couldn’t help but feel excited about going out to begin with. It was something that I was never allowed to do. That is, of course, unless we were traveling. I didn’t have the right to go out like other girls did. “That would be nice to do.” I said, before I realized that someone could, or more specifically, would be looking for me. Elton wouldn’t just leave me missing without sending his men to find me, that is something that would deem impossible for him, and if father found out about me being missing
