Damon The drive home was a slow one, and every five minutes I would glance towards her to make sure she still wasn't crying. She seemed to have calmed down a bit, but I was still worried about her. I was supposed to be at a convention at the moment, but she sounded so desperate that I had to abandon everything to get to her. I drove her to my place since it was a lot closer to the restaurant. It would also be bad for the children to see their mother crying. I was certain Hayley wouldn't want the children to see her in her condition as well. Not only would it make her get emotional, she would end up getting the children worried as well. "Thank you.." she muttered under her breath the moment the car halted in front of the house. I flashed her a brief smile before gesturing that she comes in. While she rested on the couch, I put a call through to the company and asked for the postponement of the meeting. It wasn't in my nature to disappoint or procrastinate, and I was genuinely happ

Hayley“Yes, that would be all. Thank you.”Saying those words to my secretary was the last thing I did deliberately as I sat in my office, looking morose for a period of time that I kept no track of. A multitude of thoughts were running around endlessly in my head and I got so immersed in them that I became oblivious of my surroundings.I spent most of that time trying to figure out what exactly was occupying my thoughts. I wondered if it was the situation with Alex and Melanie, or my increasing comfortability with Damon or the little office issues that I had to settle. No matter how much I thought or how deep my mind wandered on its own, I didn’t seem to get any clarity. Luckily, the sound of my phone ringing pulled me out from my trance-like thinking.I jerked back to reality and grabbed my phone. The number calling wasn’t a saved number so I wasn’t too eager to pick it up. “If it’s important they’ll call again.” I thought.“But what if it’s business related?” My wolf reminded me

Damon From what Tim had told me, the time I made him stalk Hayley, she usually left work at around 6pm.But on days that she decided to overwork, it got up to 7pm and even more. “I guess it’s about time then.”I threw the remote of the TV that was with me, and left for my room. I had just checked the time, and it was 45 minutes to 6pm, and as I did not want to keep Hayley waiting for any reason, I thought it wise to go early.Especially as I did not want to give her a reason to go down on our arrangement, using my late timing as an excuse.I walked into the room, the only thing on me being my ash sweat pants and a singlet. The most thing I had done all through the day was to just lay inside and see movies and it felt like what I wanted for myself. Back at the pack, it was always one issue or the other and before I could settle everything, it would be a new day. The cycle never ending and leaving me stressed out.And as much as I did not see my stay in Texas as an excuse to take a

HayleyMy eyes widened in shock at her words, but I was quick to conceal my expressions. Any extravagant reaction will do nothing but give me away, so I avoided it completely. Forcefully, I pulled myself away from her grip and took two steps backwards before breaking into a maniacal laughter. "Werewolf? You've really lost your mind. I understand that you don't like me, but making some stupid story up just to satisfy your untrusting conscience is just extreme." I chastised. Melanie scoffed, her undefied expression proof that she wasn't buying my bluff. "You can hide it all you want, but I know you're not human." She insisted, seriousness etched on her face. "What do you want from me? What is your problem with me?" I asked, visibly exhausted by her incessant taunts. I was certain Alex was worried back at the table. With the two of us gone, he must be lonely by now. I honestly didn't want to further this conversation any longer than this, I'd only end up getting myself annoyed. "I wa

Hayley The weekends were here, but I wasn't exactly looking forward to any day right now. My week has been nothing but hectic and just depressing, and it was all thanks to Melanie. Ever since she found out that I was a werewolf, she hadn't let me have peace of mind. Even when she was not constantly threatening me, I still found myself thinking about it in my free time, and it had affected my productivity negatively, and also taken away the time I was supposed to spend with the kids. Time to time, Melanie would send me messages reminding me to stay away from Alex. She would even go as far as sending me packages that screamed death threats all over them. I had no idea how she located my address, but I had a guess she had gotten it from Alex's phone. I did my best to remain strong and not fall to her cheap tricks, and Lanie had helped me to cope during those periods. At a point I considered coming clean to Alex about everything. If I just told him the truth maybe all of this would just
