“Once the investigator proves my innocence, can I leave the company?” she asked.Blake considered her question thoughtfully. "What do you mean? Are you going to resign?"Lily hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I hope so. I feel like I’m not competent enough to be your secretary, given all the suspicions you have about me.”Blake shook his head. “No, Lily. Even if you’re innocent, leaving the company would only make it look like you had something to hide. You’ll stay here, and I’ll make sure you’re protected. After all, you’re vulnerable on your own among normal humans.”Lily’s heart swelled with gratitude. For the first time in a long time, she felt like someone was on her side.“Thank you, Blake,” she said softly.Blake’s expression softened. “Don’t thank me yet, Lily. I cannot conclude until I heard from the investigators. But I promise you, I’ll do everything in my power to keep you safe. Are we friends now?” he asked.Lily looked at him. Although she had not seen him before
The white sedan, a sleek and inconspicuous vehicle, kept a cautious distance from Blake's car as they traveled down the streets of the Nashville suburb. The man with a sinister agenda, sat intently behind the wheel of the sedan, his eyes fixed on Blake's every move.His mind was consumed with questions, each one racing through his thoughts with an urgency that couldn't be ignored. Why were they together? Where were they going? Could it be that Blake was merely offering Lily a ride home? But seemed incongruous with his notorious reputation for treating employees a ride home. Rumours had it that he routinely discarded secretaries like clockwork at the end of each month. Were they dating? Uh.Initially, he hadn't intended to tail them. He had been patiently waiting for Lily to finish her shift, planning to abduct her. However, his plans took an unexpected turn when he was taken aback by the sight of the two emerging from the building together and climbing into Blake's car.The man raised
Once they reached a clearing, Blake turned to Lily and said, “Let's do this. Feel the power within you and let it take over.”Lily closed her eyes and focused on the energy within her. Suddenly, her body began to contort and transform, her senses heightening and her strength increasing. She let out a triumphant howl, reveling in her newfound power. She was amazed to see that she had become a beautiful silver-furred wolf with bright green eyes.Together, Blake and Lily ventured deep into the enchanting woods, their spirits exhilarated by the transformation they had undergone. The rustling leaves whispered secrets as they walked, their steps light and filled with a newfound sense of liberation. Nature embraced them, inviting them to explore its hidden wonders.As they trekked through the winding trails, their connection grew stronger, their hearts beating in sync with the rhythm of the wilderness. Blake's presence radiated an aura of strength and safety, and Lily found herself irresisti
Lily's body shimmered with an ethereal light as she reverted back to her human form, the transformation leaving her momentarily breathless. The air crackled with tension as she surveyed the chaotic scene unfolding around her, her eyes flitting from one alarming sight to another."You're his trusted friend?" Lily exclaimed, her voice catching in a mixture of surprise and concern. Her mind raced to grasp the implications of this newfound revelation, her thoughts spinning like a whirlwind. The magnitude of the situation began to weigh heavily upon her, pressing upon her shoulders like an invisible burden.Her eyes darted frantically, trying to absorb every detail of the nightmarish scene playing out before her. Chaos reigned supreme, casting its shadow over their every move. But amidst the swirling maelstrom, a glimmer of unwavering determination flickered within Lily's eyes."But we can't simply abandon our companions in the midst of this perilous altercation," she asserted, her voice r
But with a single-minded resolve, Blake swiftly closed the distance, his movements honed with deadly precision. In a mesmerizing display of fluidity and raw power, Blake lunged forward, his human form mirroring the fierce determination of his wolf counterpart. The muscles in his arms rippled as he propelled himself toward Jake, his eyes locked on his target. . His hand shot out, seizing Jake by the back with an iron grip that brooked no resistance.In one swift motion, he seized Jake's free hand, twisting it with an intensity that bordered on the supernatural. A guttural howl of pain erupted from Jake's lips, a chilling sound that pierced through the chaos. The sheer force of his hold reverberated through the air, commanding attention and leaving no room for defiance. It was a silent proclamation of authority that echoed with unspoken consequences.With an almost supernatural fluidity, Blake's movements continued unabated. He swiftly seized Jake's free hand, twisting it with an intens
Determined to set the record straight, Blake knew he had to clarify the truth. Taking a deep breath, he spoke, "Jake, I need to make something clear. I never used your sister, nor did I ever abandon her. It was Greta who made the decision to leave me, against my wishes. I never expected or wanted that outcome. Let's not confuse Lily with false accusations." Blake's voice held firm conviction as he asserted his innocence.With a firmness in his voice, Blake emphasized his point. "Jake, you need to understand this clearly. I may forgive you this time, but if you ever put Lily through something like this again, my forgiveness won't come as easily." Giving one final push to create distance between them, Blake shifted his attention to Lily, his concern etched deeply on his face. He approached her gently and asked, "Lily, are you alright?"Relieved, Lily's voice carried a sense of gratitude as she replied, "Yes, I'm fine. But what about you? Are you hurt?"Blake's response came swiftly, fil
Before the first rays of dawn illuminated the room, Blake's weary eyes fluttered open, his body feeling remarkably refreshed. The remnants of fatigue clung to him, urging him to seek solace in the warmth of a shower. With gentle steps, he left the study, careful not to disturb the tranquil stillness that enveloped the house.As he approached his room, a flicker of relief washed over him when he discovered that Lily had not locked the door from the inside. Swiftly and silently, he turned the doorknob and slipped inside, entering the sanctuary of his personal space.With a sense of anticipation, Blake ventured straight into the inviting embrace of the bathroom. There, he shed his clothes, each smelled with the evidence of his arduous fight, releasing the accumulated tension from his fight-fatigued body. The pungent scent of sweat dissipated as he allowed the cascading water to envelop him, its warmth acting as a balm, easing the soreness in his muscles.Under the soothing stream, he clo
“Oh no, Anne's been trying to reach me. She left me several missed calls and sent me a message,” Lily said, her voice shaking with worry. She finished her coffee and went to the sink to wash the cup. Blake followed her. “What's wrong?” he asked. He noticed the concern on Lily’s face.“I’m not sure. The message is alarming, and I can't seem to reach her back,” Lily replied, her voice trembling. “I think I need to head home now. Do you mind if we go now?”“Of course not, let's go,” Blake said, placing a comforting hand on Lily’s shoulder. Lily’s mind raced with worry about Anne’s well-being, and she hoped they would find her safe and sound.Lily burst through the front door with Blake following closely behind. She immediately called out to her mother, who was sitting on the sofa, visibly trembling with nerves. Anne’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw Lily with a handsome man by her side, but her concern quickly overshadowed her curiosity.“Mom, what’s wrong? Where’s Dad?” Lily ask
