Ryan led Sherry and his men through the empty streets until they arrived at the garage. As they entered, Sherry could barely see anything in the dark and desolate space.As she approached the garage, she felt an eerie sense of dread creep over her. The door creaked open with a rusty groan, revealing a dimly lit interior. The walls were lined with peeling paint, and the concrete floor was stained with oil and grime. The air was thick with the smell of gasoline and musty, damp earth.In the shadows, she could make out the silhouette of a car, its headlights casting a sickly yellow glow that flickered ominously. The walls were cluttered with tools and spare parts, their outlines indistinct in the low light. The ceiling was draped with cobwebs, and the corners are shrouded in darkness.As she stepped closer, her eyes began to adjust to the dim light, revealing the scattered debris and forgotten relics of a bygone era. A rusted gas canister rested in the corner, its label long since worn a
Ryan's grip tightened around Sherry's hand as she reached out to touch the wall again.Perhaps it was her way of showing her resentment. Letting Ryan know that he could not control each and every step of her movement. She tried to pull her hands away from his iron grip, obviously, without any success. "What are you doing?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous.Sherry looked up at him, her eyes flashing. "I'm trying to find a way out of this," she said defiantly."There's no way out,not untill I say there is" Ryan replied, his tone cold and final.Sherry pulled her hand away from his grip, and the tension between them crackled like electricity. "Don't tell me what I can and can't do," she said, her voice rising. "That is not mentioned anywhere in our contract. "Her voice was firm but it melted away as soon as Ryan advanced upon her and stepped right on top of her defiance. He took another step closer to her, his breath hot on her face. "I'm not telling you what to do. I'm telling
It was clear that the situation was not normal. "What could have done this kind of damage?"Sherry wondered in her head,barely able to look at the gore and grime but curious nevertheless,"It looks like a very large canine. Maybe a wolf or a bear?"She exclaimed after watching the zillion bite marks on the man's body and chest. He was bit and scratched by what was evidently a wild and rabid beast. A larger member of the canidae family. "A bear? That's unlikely."Josh walked in from behind. He was not there when the first batch of Ryan's men had rushed in. "But these wounds are deep and vicious. It could only be a bear.A wild dog or even wolves don't have such strength or... " Sherry was trying to make a point when Ryan cut her off as usual and jumped right beside her. "Let's not jump to conclusions just yet. We need to investigate this further."Sherry watched Ryan give Josh a peculiar look and Josh seemed to understand and nod in agreement. They examined the body more closely.
Ryan had to literally pull Sherry out of that garage to get her back home. Chong's words had their effects even if he didn't want to show it to others in that gathering. He knew very well that his new foe might as well be an old enemy. And that foe knew about him. So much so that, he knew Ryan's weakness towards the female human being, namely Sherry, who resembled his soul mate, his Sherizad in every essence. Stealing Sherry's very personal stuffs meant that Ryan's foe was closer to Sherry than it appeared. He knew about her lucky socks, he knew where she kept her underwear and knew which was her favorite lipstick. There was a lot going inside Ryan's head but the most basic instict was to keep Sherry away from the centre of attention. To keep her away from the mess. He hand to literally thrust her inside as he, himself took the driver's seat. " Put your seat belt on. "He commanded, pressing the accelerator and swishing around to take the first u- turn. Sherry had to hold back o
Sherizad was out of her pack again and in the company of her best girl, Midnight. The two of them had snuck out of their tents without alerting anyone, specially Sherizad's father. It wasn't that she was doing anything wrong, per se, she just didn't want anyone to know that she was meeting with Alpha Ryan, outside, informally. They had agreed to meet at a local inn. It wasn't really a secret meeting, as the inn was a popular spot for wolves to gather and socialize. It was located beside the woods where it coincided with the borders of a few wolf packs. It was not lavish but it was not small either. As they entered the inn, Sherizad saw that place was bustling with activity, and the aroma of roasting meat filled the air. The innkeeper, a stout old wolf with a bushy moustache that could replace his tail, greeted them warmly and led them to a table near the fireplace.Ryan was already there, along with two of his 'packlings', Beck and Josh. Sherizad had met them both before. Beck was l
Sherry and I entered the gas station. I noticed her look around, clearly on a mission. "Take whatever you need, " I told her softly. "I will take a look first," she replied, making her way to the women's section of the store.I followed behind her, trying to be helpful. "What kind of underwear do you need? Thongs, boy shorts, bikini briefs?"Sherry rolled her eyes. "I can handle it, Ryan. Thanks for trying to help, but I don't need you to pick out my underwear for me."I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment. " I didn't mean to help or anything. It's just that I don't want to be here all day."She suddenly stopped on her way towards the underwear section as she noticed the lipstick bay. As Sherry perused the different options for lipstick, I found myself getting increasingly uncomfortable. Imagining her trying on different shades and textures of lipstick made me feel like a voyeur."I don't know how you can stand looking at all these lipsticks for so long," I said, trying to mak
" Ryan, what are you doing?"Sherry gasped placing her hand on Ryan's collar to apparently push him away. But she grabbed it hard instead.Ryan smirked, seeing what she did, "I couldn't resist. You look so beautiful.And I am not even sorry. " He said. "Ryan, we are in the middle of a busy road "Funny she had to remind Ryan that while herself turning the rear view mirror, without prior notice a few moments ago. And it was also funny that she too was blushing. "Who cares. I get what I want and wherever, "Ryan smirked again, leaning in. " I don't know..."Sherry didn't seem completely opposed to the idea but she was looking here and there, her hands lifted up in defence. " Do you think you will regret this? "Ryan asked taking her hand in his. " I don't know... "Sherry replied nervously again. Ryan pulled back from her. Giving her space to breathe. " Let's get you home first. "He said, looking away and hitting the accelerator. As he drove, he kept stealing glaces at Sherry.
Ryan sat all alone in his office chair, brooding.Drowing in his sea of thoughts, over and over again. His confident posture slouched as he seemed lost in melancholy. His eyes stared blankly at the computer screen, his fingers tapped aimlessly on the desk. The office was dead quiet, except for the sound of his breath and the occasional tick-tock of the clock on the wall.He couldn't shake off the feeling of forlornness that had settled in his heart since he had left Sherry at home. Her words lingered in his mind, haunting him. He wondered if he made the right choice, leaving her there all alone. He couldn't focus on work, as his mind kept wandering back to her.He kept swinging his chair back and forth. Standing up all of a sudden and then slouching back again. His phone had been ringing non- stop for some time. He had intentionally over looked Josh calling him, over and over again. Perhaps he wanted a sinple text or call from the one he had left back home. He knew Josh wasn't calling
