LilyOut of all the strange things that happened, that dream was the second strangest.I couldn't get that dream out of my mind or the imagery of Alexander and the wolf. No matter how hard I tried, it lingered like a melody in the back of my mind.How had I thought of that? What did it mean? All those questions remained unanswered.It didn't help that now I had a pretty long time to think. After the incident with Daniel Bennet, there were no longer any meeting calls for the past few days. On one hand I welcomed the reprieve from the constant movement abd the distance it brought between Alexander and I.I was attracted to him. Hell, I was sure there were plenty of people, it made no difference. But I worked for him and was carrying his child.“Lily?” Sooner or later I was going to face him again. “Lily?” A warm touch suddenly appeared on my arm. Turning immediately to the source I met Lisa's green eyed gaze. She looked concerned.‘Oh no.' Remorse instantly washed over me once it all

LilyYes.I groaned against the feeling of his warm lips running over my neck. Warmth. Heat. That was all I felt.And it was wonderful.His rumbling body hovered over mine. His voice was a deep rumble, whispering my name and that single word.“Lily"“You're mine."“Mine…"“Miss Grace?"The voice made me jerk. I whipped my head to see Mr Gallagher, one of the department heads, facing me.“Are…you okay?" He asked tentatively, concern on his face.Swallowing through my nerves I worked up a slight shaky smile.“Yes. I was just caught up in something.” I mustered.Before he could reply and ask anymore questions I handed over the document I intended to give to him, giving him the instructions relayed by…him.Once I was left alone in my office, I let out the breath I didn't realise I was holding, turning to my laptop to type out yet another report.‘I miss the days he barely came into the office.’ I thought fervently.I couldn't believe there was a time I wondered the opposite. Now it just s

LilyI opened my eyes blearily, blinking back to reality. Darkness was all that surrounded me. My nd widened in alarm. Where was I? How had I gotten-‘oh’ now I remembered. ‘Oh No.' My breathing became haggard, there didn't seem to be an air. Dread filled me. I tried twisting my head—“Ah!” I yelped from the striking pain. Why did it hurt?With laboured breath I gently moved my bound arms to my neck. Gently touching the part that hurt the most, it was swollen.I dropped my hands as slowly as I could without causing any more pain. I needed to calm down. Struggling now would only make things worse. ‘Easier said than done’ a part of me thought almost hysterically as I tried quelling the panic inside me. Each breath I took sent a shot of pain into my lungs. I shut my eyes tightly, recalling the lessons I learned. By the time I counted to twenty the panic subsided and I could think clearly. I struggled to sit up before looking around. With time my eyesight had cleared and I could d

LilyA needle could ring with how quiet everywhere got. The silence hung in the air, heavy and tense.It felt loud, ringing in my ears as I stared at him, mind blank.Nathan looked away from me and I instantly knew why. With eye contact, they engaged in a silent conversation I was not privy to. I didn't want this.Before I could say a word, a sharp sound cut the air. It was Nathan's chair, abruptly shifted as he stood up.“I'll leave you two alone.” he spoke quietly, turning away. With the click of the door, he left the room, leaving me alone with Alexander. I turned back to him. Because of me.Because of me.Those words repeated like a broken record.“What,” I paused, swallowing through my dry mouth.“Do you mean by that?”Were he to show any other expression, perhaps a bit of empathy, I would relax. His face remained as impassive as always.Alexander leaned back in his chair, studying me with an unsettling calmness. His icy blue eyes bore into mine, and the air in the room seemed to

LilyI looked out the window of the moving car as the rain drops scattered across. The air was cold, blowing floral scented breeze through my direction.I was rudely awoken early that morning after my endless sobbing the night before by a man I didn't know or recognize. He let me out with a single word.Just like the night after, Alexander was nowhere to be seen.With my fingers, I traced circles on the cold glass windows. The car slowly came to a stop. I couldn't let out a shaky sigh of relief. Finally, I was home. I opened the car door. As I stepped out, cold rain droplets tapped on my skin. I look up at the angry gray clouds, feeling the light drizzle shower my face.‘Of course it rained today. It's not like things could get any worse.'I tensed as the sound of the car door closing came behind me, followed by heavy footsteps. A slight shadow covered me surely and I couldn't feel the rain any longer.I looked up to find that it was an umbrella, held by none other than the strang
