EiraI tucked the note in my bag and headed towards the main junction to see if I could get a cab. As I walked, my mind kept on going back to the note in my bag. I wanted nothing more than to know exactly what was written in the note. I knew Sebastian could be very secretive at times, and I wouldn't put it past him not to write something suspicious in that note. It could even be a reference to what we had done the previous night and I hated to think that he might have written that he didn't want to see me anymore. It was something he was capable of doing and as I finally climbed into the cab, I shivered not from the cold but from the rejection I might get later on.On getting home, I realized that there was no one at home. The house was practically empty and I realized that the girls might have probably gone to work. I glanced at the clock on the wall and I realized that it was well past nine in the morning. There was no doubt that they were already at work. I shut the door close, ma
EiraI knew that I couldn't do it because I knew what would happen if I went back there, and I couldn't afford to go back there. There were many things that Sebastian would do to me if I went back there, and I just couldn't afford to go back there. There were many things I knew would happen and I wasn't ready for all of that."Sir, I don't think that will be possible," I said.He remained silent for a while, thinking about what I had said and I knew that he was giving it a thought."What's the reason?" he asked."He won't be around. He's traveling with his men and the whole house will be locked up," I lied.The way the lie flowed from my tongue was something I didn't think was possible. It was so believable, even to me. That was the only thing I could say because I knew that he would never believe me if I even gave another excuse. This had to be the most solid one I could even thought of and I knew that I had to hold it close and stand on it, and make him believe that I was telling the
EiraNight soon came and I knew that I had to get home as soon as possible. The last thing I wanted was to be robbed because I was going back home late. I didn't even have anything with me that was even worth stealing but I knew that I had my life and I needed to be careful. Even though at times, things might be shitty, that didn't mean I wanted to die. I was still useful and the last thing I wanted was to die when I hadn't even achieved what I wanted to achieve in life."I just hope I find a taxi before it's too late," I said and sighed.Getting a cab at night was usually hard because for some reason, the cab drivers didn't want to go in the direction of my house. They felt that it was too far and I wasn't ready to pay a really good amount for their fare. I didn't know if they couldn't understand that I was just managing and I didn't have anything to my name. Well, I kind of did. I had the money from my pack but I couldn't just spend it because it would alert my pack members to my l
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
