EiraI stared at the phone screen for what felt like hours before I finally decided to pick the call up. Whoever it was, I really hoped that the person had a good intention for calling me because if there was one thing I hated, it was picking up strange calls. It always gave me the creeps and I hated to think that I was being followed or something close to that. There were several reasons why I could have been followed or why I could have been monitored. I knew without doubt the first person who could do something like that to me was Sebastian, and I wouldn't put it past him not to do something like that to me. He had men all over the place, and I knew that he wouldn't hesitate to send them to me just because he wanted to pander to the stupid ego that he had."Hello," I said into the phone as I picked the call up.For some minutes, there was no answer from the other end and the only thing which told me that the call was still on was the static sound coming from the other end. I didn't
EiraI placed my phone on the bed, setting it beside me, and I closed my eyes as I recalled the way his voice had sounded again. It was soft and gentle and in that moment, I couldn't help but think that I was falling for him. There was something about him that I just couldn't place, but whatever it was, I liked it and I always wanted to feel it.I closed my eyes to sleep and the last thing that passes through my mind before I fell into a dreamless sleep was the image of Jason smiling at me.***The next morning, the first thing that woke me up was the sound of the moving cars on the street and the voices of many people all talking at the same time. A small headache was brewing inside of me and I knew that I needed to contain it before it became too late. I couldn't afford to have this headache now when I was about to go to work."Not today, Eira," I murmured to myself, willing the headache to go.I sat up, saying a quick prayer to any gods listening above before I finally climbed out o
Eira"What is he doing here?" I murmured to myself in a low tone. I didn't know if he heard me and truthfully, I didn't care because in that moment I was very surprised beyond anything I had ever imagined. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. One moment I thought I was free from Sebastian, the next moment, he had found a way to walk into my life. What was he really after and why did he keep following me? I hated it, I hated this feeling and I knew that I needed to find a way, any way at all to discard him. I had just cemented my relationship with the girls and the last thing I wanted was to get myself connected to anything that involved Sebastian."Are you okay?" Jason asked.I disengaged myself from the hug, but I didn't speak because I was too stunned to say anything. Actually, there were many things I wanted to say but I didn't know how to articulate them. I didn't know how to put them in simple sentences and voice them out and it was making me feel stupid and foolish at the same
EiraJason took me outside and from there, we searched for a taxi. By this time, the sun was already up in the sky and I knew that if we didn't leave, we would begin to burn and I knew how my wolf reacted to the excess sun. It would be brutal and that was something I didn't want to face."We should get a taxi soon," he said and smiled softly.I nodded, still not over what had happened and what he had told me. I was finding it hard to connect the nice and generous Sebastian to the image of the person I had in my head. It was difficult, and I couldn't believe that he had done all of that."There we are," he said.In front of me was a cab I hadn't even noticed had driven towards us. My mind was too far gone to even know what was happening around me. It was one thing to be in the know of everything going on but when your mind was completely out of it, it was another thing.Soon, the car drove off and towards wherever Jason had said we should go. As I sat there, looking at everything, a tho
EiraAs my consciousness slowly returned, I became acutely aware of my surroundings. The first thing that registered in my mind was the biting cold that seemed to enter into my very bones. I shivered involuntarily, my body protesting against the frigid air that surrounded me.Blinking my eyes open, I squinted in the darkness, trying to make sense of my predicament. Panic welled up within me as I realized that my hands were tightly bound, rendering them utterly useless. The sensation of rough ropes biting into my wrists only fueled my growing fear.Straining my eyes, I surveyed my surroundings. It was a cold, dark room, and I could barely make out any features. The inky blackness pressed in on all sides, and it felt suffocating, like a weight pressing down on my chest. I tried to move, but the restraints held me in place, leaving me utterly helpless."Where am i?" I murmured.As I struggled to make sense of the situation, a glimmer of hope flickered through the darkness. I could see fa
EiraFor several minutes we stared at each other, too lost to even say anything at all. There were many things going on in my head, things that i wanted to say, things that i wanted to speak of but i knew in that moment that it was best i remained quiet because whatever was going on now was serious and i needed to be guarded so i wouldn't make any mistake.I tried to speak but my mouth was too dry to form words. There were many things i wanted to say, many things that i needed to let out but in that moment, so much fear crept up in my chest that i couldn't even string a sentence together. Whatever was going on, I knew that I needed to let it out before it sucked me dry which was what I was trying to avoid at all cost but still, the fear that was holding me gripped me so much that I couldn't."Can't you all talk? Why do you keep staring at me?" I snapped.I was losing it and I knew it but still, I couldn't believe that I was here, at Sebastian's mercy. I wanted to be free, to go my own
EiraThree weeks later I stopped working at the restaurant ever since the incident between Jason and i. I could forgive many things but when it came to betrayal, that was the one thing I could never forgive. What Jason had done to me was something I knew I would never do to another person but in his own case, he didn't care and it pained me to know that he didn't give a damn about me. He was working for Sebastian, had been working for him for a while and the meeting was a perfect opportunity for him to sell me out to him."I'll get you for this Jason… I don't care how long it takes or when it will happen but I will surely get you for this." I vowed.It was a promise I kept to myself, a promise I was going to fulfill and he would never get away with what he had done. "Thinking about him again?" Diana asked.I sighed, knowing that there was nothing really I could get away from them. Earlier, i had told them everything that happened between me and Jason and they had been very angry, eve
EiraThe first thing I noticed and heard as soon as I woke up was Diana's voice alongside Gianna's, and from the tone of their voice, I could tell that they were worried. It showed in the way they walked and in the hesitant shuffling of their feets. They hadn't expected me to go unconscious just like this, and I knew they were wondering what really happened to me but in that moment, I couldn't even explain it because everything leading up to this very moment was not very clear to me.They laid me down on the long and comfortable couch where I felt even more relaxed. I had no idea what was going on and I hated not knowing anything because it drove me crazy. My head was in a blur, a testament to the fact that I had no idea of what had happened these past few minutes. It just felt like I had been dunked in water and it was now that it was getting kind of clearer that I was starting to understand everything that was going on. There were things I wanted to say, things I needed to be clear
