WITH HIM

I was sitting down in my kitchen reading Jane Eyre and sipping some wine. It was one of my favorite classics and I would re read it on cool nights.

It’s been four days since my catastrophic date with Tristan and I hadn’t seen either of the men since then.

Caine had taken me home and I could hear Megan chiding him for what he did as I laid down in my bed that night. It seemed he confessed.

I slept in the next morning and didn’t go out till the other day, I did my best to avoid Caine all day and the days that followed.

I had moved in the day before and had Samuel and two other guys help me move my things, I could’ve wanted Tristan to help me but his mum Tanya who I had met later - a sweet woman by the way- told me he had business doing in some other town.

And Leslie, Megan and some other women in the pack were busy with some things they wouldn’t tell me about. Only Leslie said “the full moon is coming” I  didn’t understand what she said and she didn’t speak further.

I wished my parents would’ve told me more about themselves, I wouldn’t be a clueless human living amongst werewolves. But since I was here I was ready to learn all about them to the fullest.

My first lesson being: Alpha Caine was an asshole, but he did things to me that I couldn’t explain.

After moving in, I painted some portraits that I wanted to grace some rooms in the house with. I had mindlessly made a painting that looked like Caine and threw my brush in frustration after I realized what I had done and right now he was still on my mind.

I groaned and re read the line I had be on for the last five minutes.

Caine shouldn’t be on my mind now, I just wanted to read this book and sleep.

I tried reading the whole page from the beginning again but then an image of Caine kissing me hungrily with his hands in my hair flashed through my head and I closed the book in a snap.

I didn’t want to think that, it was of no help to me.

As I was thinking of what next to do to take my mind off the hot looking Alpha of the Moonstone pack? My doorbell rang.

My heart jumped and I took my phone to check the time.

11:05. It was almost midnight. Who could that be.

The doorbell rang again.

I was young, living alone, and living among trees. I couldn’t help but feel fear.

I grabbed a pan from the kitchen and went for the door in the living room.

“Who is it?” I called out.

No reply.

The pan looked like a good weapon for fighting off an intruder and the pepper spray in my purse. I thought about going to carry it and the doorbell rang again.

The doorbell rang again, and without thinking I opened the door, if anything happened I was going to scream this was a place full of wolves and the Lightons lived a few blocks from me. So I would have help in no time.

I was in my fighting stance with my pan when I was met with a relaxed Caine at my doorstep.

“Caine?” What are the odds of the Alpha of the Moonstone pack being at my doorsteps at this time of the night.

“You think that’s going to fight off an intruder” he pointed at the pan I had up ready to attack.  

“What are you doing here” I instantly became relaxed and my hands came down.

Forgetting my fear awhile ago I was about to start ogling his body that stretched the black tee shirt he was wearing. He looked like a god tonight.

“You shouldn’t open the door for anyone like that and you need new locks”

“What do you want” I wanted to cut to the bullshit and find away to get him out before I would give in to whatever he had up his sleeves.

He pushed past me and came inside, his nose started sniffing and picked up my scent around the house and headed for my kitchen, he could tell I had been there earlier.

“Have a seat” he said and sat across from where I had sat and wait for me to sit.

“Why are you here” I said going to hang the pan from the rack I took it. I turned back to him and he was focused on me like I was something he wanted to learn about so intensely.

“We need to talk” he calmly.

This was a new Caine and I was prepared to drag him out seriously.

“For being a jerk to me all this time?” I asked and remained standing

“Sit down Hazel!”

I was in my night gown and I had earlier thought about going for a robe but his dominant husky voice just has me settling into the chair I had sat before.

“You’re in my pack so you would do as I say, Firstly you take a job” he was looking at me pointedly now.

Was that what he came all the way to tell me ?  

“I wasn’t planning on staying idle Alpha Caine” I said like a challenge and held his look back.

“Hazel!” The sound of my name trolling off his tongue sent shivers down my spine. I felt the sizzle of warmth from where he sat across me.

“Don’t you dare scream at me again” I challenged him and folded my hands across my chest. I was ready to talk him down.

In an instant he stood up and walked over to me so fast that his chair scrapped the floor and fell down.

He came close and held my face so tenderly in his hands.

I was surprised, my hands fell from my chest.

I was free to him

He had me where he would want me
