THIRD PERSON'S POV:-

　　Elijah was in his car, Daniel was in the driving seat. They were returning home from work. Elijah had asked Artemis to be ready. He wanted to take her out on dinner. Daniel's phone started ringing. He accepted the call and put it on the speaker. "We have a situation, a bunch of wild wolves have entered our territory. Lauren just confirmed it with her crystal ball." Gregory spoke from the other side of the line.

　　"Where is that?" Elijah asked in a low tone.

　　"Northern side of the city, Alpha. They just got in. Do you want me to send someone there to check?" Gregory replied to Elijah in a low tone.

　　"No! We are closer. We will be able to corner them. But be ready for the call. If we need, we will send a single for backup. Ask uncle Grey, Ryan, Amy and Artemis to be ready." Elijah replied to Gregory calmly as he signalled Daniel to turn the car.

　　Gregory hung up and Daniel stepped on the accelerator. They were about to turn when a woman suddenly came in front of the car. Daniel stepped on the breaks. The tyres of Elijah's car made a loud screeching sound. The woman collided with the front of the car and fell down on the ground. Elijah hopped out of the car and walked towards the woman. Elijah's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the woman.?

　　A pungent scent made its way to Elijah's nostrils. He growled as he turned his face and found a bunch of homeless looking men standing in front of him. Elijah looked around. There were not many people around. But of course, he couldn't do anything stupid in front of any human. "You should be grateful that these humans are here. Just try to cross my territory line again and I will hunt you down and rip you into shreds. Mark my words." Elijah growled at them angrily but he kept his voice down. He couldn't let the humans know what he was. The wild wolves ran away. Elijah walked back towards the woman and scooped her up in his arms. He carried her to the car and gently laid her down on the back seat.

　　Elijah and Daniel hopped in the front seats. Daniel started the car and they drove off.?

　　The elevator ding echoed inside the penthouse, making Artemis excited. She was wearing a royal blue choker dress. She wore high heel boots with the dress. And to complete her look, she tied her hair in a fancy twin french braid. Instead of applying light makeup, she tried some smokey eyes with nude pink lipstick. She looked stunning.?

　　Artemis stood up and walked towards the elevator. Her smile fell as she saw Elijah carrying an unknown woman in his arms. "Please, move out of my way." Elijah rudely said to Artemis. She was already too shocked to see another woman in his arms. His rude order made Artemis hold her breath.

　　Artemis moved out of his way. Elijah took the woman straight to his bedroom. Her eyes watered up as Elijah disappeared in his bedroom. Artemis walked into the elevator and punched the button for the ground floor. As soon as the elevator door closed, Artemis let go of the breath she was holding all that long. Tears started flowing freely from her eyes. She buried her face in the corner of the elevator. Her tears ruined her perfect makeover. She pulled a makeup wipe out of her purse and wiped her makeup.?

　　The elevator door opened and Artemis stepped out of the elevator. Instead of using her Scooty, Artemis decided to walk to clear up her head.?

　　"I can't believe he did that to me. He didn't even look at me once. If he was going to bring another woman home to treat him, he should have at least told me. I wouldn't have wasted my time getting ready." Artemis thought while walking aimlessly. She just wanted to get away from him. She was not sure where she was supposed to go. It was Elijah's place where she lived. She couldn't ask him to kick his guest out.

　　"Men! They just can't resist big ass and boobs. You were not opening your legs for him. So he decided to bring a whore in. Did you sense other men on her?" Tracy spoke in a hatred filled tone for Elijah for breaking Artemis' heart. Tracy could understand what Artemis was going through.

　　"I smelled that. It was disgusting." Artemis replied to Tracy in a low tone as she stepped into a park. Artemis sat down on a bench, looking at the kids playing. She had no idea what she was supposed to do or where she was supposed to go in a situation like that.

　　On the other side, Elijah was pacing back and forth, waiting for Lauren to arrive. Lauren entered Elijah's bedroom. "Thank God, you are here. Check her up. Tell me if she is okay." Elijah ordered Lauren in a low tone.?

　　"That's why I am here, Alpha. Would you please step out of the room?" Lauren asked Elijah. He nodded his head and stepped out of his bedroom. He was pacing back and forth while waiting for Lauren to come out. It took Lauren about thirty minutes to be done with her treatment.

　　Lauren stepped out of Elijah's bedroom and walked towards Elijah. "Alpha, you don't have to be worried about it. She is fine. I have checked everything. She is a werewolf. You know that werewolves heal faster. You just need to let her rest for now." Lauren informed Elijah. He released a sigh of relief as he heard Lauren.

　　"Do I need to wake her up to feed her something?" Elijah asked in a concerned tone.?

　　"No, please let her sleep. If she wakes up and asks for something to eat, then you can feed her. But something lite. Something like chicken soup or chicken porridge. Nothing else." Lauren replied to Elijah's question in a low tone.?

　　"Alright, thank you so much." Elijah thanked Lauren.

　　"It's my duty, alpha. Take care of yourself too." Lauren replied and left.

　　It was the middle of the night when Elijah felt something on his hand. He opened his eyes. He realised that he had slept on the couch, beside his bed. "Hey, Alisa. How are you? Are you alright? Do you need anything?" Elijah asked the woman in a low tone. The woman smiled shyly and shook her head.

　　"I am fine, Elijah. Nothing is wrong with me. And I don't need anything. I am fine." She replied to Elijah in a low tone.?

　　"I can't believe you recognized me right away without even asking anything. I am impressed." The woman complimented Elijah in a low tone. Her cheeks were rosy pink as she complimented Elijah.

　　"Haha! Yeah! You actually look exactly the same as you were twelve years ago. That's when I saw you last. Your scent is a little different from then. Maybe because you were running away from the wild wolves. Otherwise you are exactly the same as you were twelve years ago." Elijah replied to the woman in a low tone.

　　She giggled nervously as she heard Elijah. "Yeah! That is the only reason why my scent is different." Alisa replied to Elijah in a low tone.

　　"The healer said you must rest. I suggest you sleep. I will be outside, on the couch. If you need anything, let me know. Don't hesitate, okay?" Elijah replied to Alisa in a low tone. She nodded her head. Elijah smiled widely as he stood up and walked out of his bedroom. He pulled his jacket and his shirt off. He kicked his shoes off of his feet. He laid down on the couch and closed his eyes. He was exhausted because of all the work he had to do at work.

　　Alisa was someone Elijah knew from his past. Alisa's father and Elijah's father were friends. Alisa and Elijah almost grew up together. Back at high school, Elijah and Alisa had dated each other. Then? her? father moved away and Alisa went with her father. Alisa was the only girlfriend Elijah ever had. After Alisa, he only had women with him only for one night stand.? Nothing else, no strings attached. Because of the exhaustion, it took Elijah minutes to fall asleep.

　　In the morning, Alisa opened her eyes. She sat up on the bed. She crawled out of the bed and went towards the bathroom. Alisa peeled the torn clothes off of her body and stepped into the shower. Once she had showered, Alisa stepped out of the bathroom. She stepped into the closet and grabbed one of Elijah's shirts. She covered her body with Elijah's shirt.

　　Alisa stepped out of the room and found Elijah fast asleep on the couch. She bit her lower lip seductively as she saw him half naked.

　　"He has gotten hotter in all those years. If it was not for dad, I would have stayed with him. He was the best man I have ever had. Not just because he was caring. But also because he was marvellous in bed." Alisa thought to herself as she knelt down on the ground. She licked her lips as she brushed her fingers on Elijah's bare chest.

　　Her eyes went towards Elijah's crotch. "Oh God! It has gotten bigger. I already feel wet to have him inside me again." Alisa thought as her hand slid towards Elijah's crotch.?

　　"You fucking whore. You just can't have enough men around you. Instead of looking for a better man with a promising future, you should look for a job as a prostitute. There will be men around you all the time to fulfil your hunger for cocks. You can even get gangbang." Alisa's wolf, Tusha, sneered at Alisa in a hatred filled tone. She felt disgusted by Alisa's habits. Hearing her wolf, Alisa pulled away from Elijah and went back into the bedroom.
