You will be coming with me: chapter three

“Fuck fuck fuck!” Akira cursed as she walked through the door.

“You're late.” A man dressed in a fancy suit called out to her, “you are Akira greyhound are you not?” He asked.

She nodded slowly.

“The boss is not to be trifled with, I already know how this is going to end with you being late and all, but I want to give you that chance.” He said.

“Thank you sir.” Akira said as she struggled to hold the file firmly with her hands.

“Don't thank me And goodluck, you are going to need it.”

Akira barely managed to keep composing herself.

A lot of things had happened and they were happening quickly.

She did not expect to open her eyes this morning and she did not even expect to open them in the strange room she awakened in.

She had managed to take a bath and get here for the job interview.

She was not prepared,she did not believe she would get this far.

The interviewer pushed the elevator button and the door slid open.

“You're on your own now.” He said as the door slid shut.

She sighed as the elevator went up slowly and opened before the door of the boss's office.

She gave three soft knocks at the door and waited for a reply.

She felt her knees tremble when the boss replied “come in” with a deep intimidating voice.

“Here goes nothing…” she said as she pushed the door open.

“Good morning sir, my name is Akira Greyhound and I am from…..”

Her jaw dropped open along with the files in her hands.

Before her sat the same man who had rescued her from those monsters yesterday.

“Nervous?” He asked as he briefly looked at her.

Akira was speechless, obviously traumatized from yesterday's incident and even more lost as the same man who saved her yesterday.

“I am not sir…”

“Then put your act together, let's not even begin on the fact that you are already late to your job interview.” Kai fired from his seat.

Akira was visibly shaken but she still managed to let out a few words,“I am so sorry sir, I had a very horrible day yesterday and I did not ….”

“Leave!” Kai ordered.

Akira stood there, wondering what she might have done wrongly.

Kai on the other hand was impatient, “leave, I can't stand people who give excuses….leave or I call the security on you.”

……….

His inner wolf was giddy, and he knew just why.

How did she find him?

The moment she was within his vicinity he smelt her, that warm inviting earthy scent that he smelt yesterday.

It was not easy to forget what your mate smelt like.

He had hoped she was just passing by his environment but he lost it the moment she walked into his office.

He thought he had taken care of her by sending her away but his inner wolf was not having any of it.

He knew that peace would elude him as long as he kept her away.

He was going to find a way to keep her close and far from him all the same.

She was his mate, but the prophecy never said anything about him accepting her.

That was one chance he was willing to take.

He grabbed the phone next to him, “Rune,I have clues for you on that lady yesterday…”

He paused, “yes rune, the one we rescued from the houndras… her name is Akira, Akira greyhound. Dig deeper into her origin and tell me all about it!

The line went dead as he sat back in his chair, waiting.

………

Akira dragged herself back to the room she woke up in, she managed to find her way back there and she had made up her mind to leave the following morning.

There was nothing keeping her here.

She blamed herself, she had heard stories of the CEO who was ruthless to everyone around him.

How did she expect him to be any different towards her?

She had had enough.

She did not expect him to be the same man who had rescued her.

A lot of questions ran through her mind as she brewed herself a small pot of tea.

“Why did he treat me this way if he was the same person who rescued me?”

“Who owns this apartment and was he the one who kept me here?”

The whistling kettle brought her back to reality, her tea was ready.

All she had left in the entire world was the breath in her lungs, even her sanity was beginning to fail her.

She sat in her sipping tea till nighttime before she fell asleep.

Suddenly her eyes flung open, something was not right and she was not alone.

There was someone else in the house with her.

“Hello?” She asked as she could have sworn to hear footsteps pace around the house.

There was no response and even that was some sort of response.

Her heartbeat quickened as she tried to grab hold of her phone to call for help.

She stood staring into the dark neck when she felt a warm breath just behind her back.

She shivered as chills ran down her spine.

She turned immediately and fell to the ground as she saw the same creature that rescued her from those monsters.

They were both monsters but this one was different from the rest.

“Oh no!” She whimpered.

“You can see me?” The monster spoke.

In fear she covered her face with her hands, obviously frightened by the talking monster.

“Look at me!” It ordered,humans should not be able to see creatures from his realm but this one could.

She felt stranger and stranger with each passing moment.

She obeyed and she watched him transform, slowly the fur that surrounded him faded to reveal skin. Clean, spotless and it glowed in the moonlight.

The long nuzzle disappeared and left in its place a chiseled jawline and a stubble chin.

The one hair wolf creature transformed into the most handsome man she had ever seen.

Not only was this man handsome and naked,it was the same boss who was kicked out of the office.

“Please do not harm me…” she pleaded, “I am sorry that I ruined your vase earlier today at the office, I promise to pay for it, just don't harm me!”

Kai wanted to get rid of her more than anything,but his inner wolf would not let him, he could hear his inner wolf growl for her.

“Come with me!” He ordered, “come with me now!” He repeated.

“Please…” Akira begged, “I am sorry, do not harm me, I didn't mean to be a bother.”

“Enough of this nonsense!” Kai roared, his growls sounding like that of the wolf that lived inside of him. “You are coming with me and you're coming with me now!”

He grabbed her by her wrist and he could feel the spark between both of them.

A longing that he did not know that was buried deep inside of him came alive as soon as their touch.

Akira was scared and he could smell it, but he did not want to be here either.

She was his mate and she needed to bow.

“Let go of me please….” Akira pleaded fearfully, “I promise to leave, I would never tell anyone about your abilities, no one would know, I would disappear from your life and city forever, just let me go.”

Kai growled as he kept her shut, “I saved your life, you owe me and you must do as I wish!”

“I– I, leave me alone!!!” Akira yelled as her eyes glowed with blinding intensity that nearly blinded Kai.

He was strong to withstand the intensity.

“What are you?” He muttered when the commotion died down, confused.

“Just leave me alone please.” Akira whimpered, scared of what was happening to her.

“You're coming with me, now!” Kai thundered.

Akira could see the fury in his eyes, she knew there was no way he was leaving here without her.

She ran, as fast as her legs could let her, but she was no match for his speed and his strong arms.

“Enough of this nonsense.” Kai growled as he lifted her onto his shoulder and leaped out the window, "you will be coming with me."

Akira could barely think or react and the looming question that filled her mind just before she passed out was this; "who the fuck are you?"
