ANNABEL.

　　Running out of the large club, I looked at the lonely street thinking of a possible way that I wouldn't be traced. Oh my goddess! Why is today a bad day? I had waited in the clubhouse just to have a good rest but that son of a bitch had to spoil my day. What am I going to do? I thought looking around with fear stuck in my mind as I heard the baritone voices of the bitch guards behind me not too far from me. What can I do right now? And I'm really tired. I looked up as I heard the screeching sound of a bike. It was the guy who signaled for me to leave the clubhouse. I could recognize him even though he was putting on a black helmet on his head.

　　"Hey pretty, hop in," he said and waved his hand through the air. I walked toward him and sat in the back seat behind him. I wouldn't have followed him but I didn't have a choice than to comply because I am almost on the verge of being caught. I was jolted out of my thoughts as the bike made a screeching sound as he ignited the engine before riding off at a very fast speed. I looked back and shook my head as numerous guards in black suits all hopped on their bikes and rode after us at a high speed.

　　"Increase the pace of the bike, they are coming after us."

　　He only shook his head without looking bothered. I held him by his waist tightly as the bike suddenly jerked up. He swerved in the right direction straight to the forest which made me wonder what he wanted to do in the forest. I looked back and my heart skipped as they began shooting guns sporadically at us, the only thing he could do is to dodge it moving in a zigzag way with a fast pace. He decreased the speed of the bike as he got closer to a particular tree which was filled with branches that if one found in it, it would be difficult to find the person.

　　He wrapped his left hand around my waist while he used his right hand on the bike handle. I would have done something crazy because I hate the way his hand was on my waist but I don't have a choice because I don't really know what to do. I was surprised as he carried me with one hand and threw me at the tree even though I had almost fallen down but I used my wolf claws to pierce my hand deep into it. I quickly climb the tree as they turn to my direction and shoot. I was able to escape one bullet that was almost an inch to my chest. Getting to the top of the tree, I looked down even though I'm sure they can't see me. I smiled as the guy used the bike to hit the guard. He bent low and picked up the gun and began his own shooting.

　　"Make some whispers in different directions on the tree to create distraction and confusion." He disconnected. I move to the left and make a whistle sound softly even though it is loud enough for them to hear. I made different sounds from different directions which caused them to look around confusedly. I looked down and smiled as the guy moved speedily to the left escaping a bullet shot at him.

　　He was really amazing, his moves, his skill and all that. His hand held the bike handle very well, while he used his second man to shoot at the guard in black suit. Scream followed with a groan as he shot sporadically at them making sure he killed everyone of them not sparing anyone. He parked the bike at a clear spot before jumping down from the bike with a heavy sound. He slammed his hand together and threw the gun on the floor. He squatted low a bit and examined one of the dead guards.

　　After a few minutes, he stood up and clapped his hand signifying that I should get down from the tree. He sat on the front seat of the bike with his hand on his chin as I jumped down from the tree with a loud thud. I walked toward him and sat on the back seat with my head resting on his back, even though I don't do this but I'm really tired. I could feel a smirk on his lips as he ignited the engine of the bike and rode off at a very high speed. Getting to the road, I decided to ask him where he was taking me to because he hasn't been saying anything. We were in a deep silence. Even though I don't have a choice, I would have to know where he is taking me to at least.

　　"Please young man, can I know where you are taking me to?" he didn't say anything at first, maybe he was thinking or whatever.

　　"Well, I don't, I have to tell you the place I am taking you to because we are almost there." I nodded even though I know he can't see me but hear me.

　　"Well if I may ask, what were you doing in the clubhouse?.And what was the billionaire saying that caused you to slam his head on the table?" I was surprised by his question. He doesn't talk much because of his gentleness or maybe it is because he doesn't know me.

　　"One question at a time, please."

　　"Okay answer it accordingly or as it suits you."

　　"Well, I was coming from a journey and did not have a place to sleepover. That was the reason why I was in the clubhouse in the first place and for the son of a bitch billionaire, I was the bartender drinking some non alcoholic wine when he approached me. He said something about having a nightstand with him but I refused. He becomes angry that nobody rejects or refuses his offer and he begins to caress my body. That was the reason why I slammed his head on the table and broke the bottle of his head. Hope your question is answered?"

　　He nodded shortly. "You did the right thing."

　　"Why did you signal at me to leave? And what were you doing in the clubhouse?"

　　"Well I was there just to catch fun, I was drinking when you entered the clubhouse. My eyes had to follow you because your beauty caught my attention, I can't lie to you." Immediately he said this, my cheek turned red instantly.

　　"When I saw that you had almost broken the head of the billionaire, I decided to signal you to leave the clubhouse because I know what he can do when he is angry."

　　"Oh! Okay!" that was the only thing I could say. I was beginning to love the way we were chatting.

　　"And if I may ask. Are you a wolf?" I know he deliberately asked the question because he wanted to hear it from my mouth. And I wouldn't answer him easily.

　　"And if I may also ask. Are you also a wolf?" I shook my head as I heard his chuckle.

　　"Okay but I asked you the question first so I am going to get an answer before I can answer you."

　　Feeling defeated, I decided to speak out even though he already knew. "Okay, I am a wolf."

　　"That's the truth but with the scent on you I don't think you're a wolf, I mean an ordinary wolf. You smell of royalty."

　　"Yes, you are correct, I am a princess of the Blood Moon pack. My brother is the Alpha of the pack." I didn't know why but I was free with him even to the point of telling him who I am and where I am from.

　　He was first taken aback by my reply even though I don't know the reason. "Wow! Nice to meet you, your majesty." He said and bowed his head a little which caused me to chuckle by his action.

　　I decide to ask who he is. "Please can I also know-"

　　I couldn't complete my statement as he held the brake clutch of the bike and the bike jerked up in a skillful way. "We are here, my friend's house." I looked up as he jumped down from the bike.

　　A soft gasp escaped my lips as I stared at the penthouse in front of me. It was the same penthouse that I left to the clubhouse just because I don't want to get caught but I think I have eventually been caught. He stared at me with his hand crossed behind his back with a smirk on his lips. This alone caused me to believe that it was a set-up. Raymond had known that I followed him to his house and decided to send this guy to the clubhouse just to lure me back to his penthouse. I'm really in a very great shock right now.

　　"Get down and come in." he said with his arm wide open. Reluctantly, I jumped down from the bike seat. I don't think I have any alternative or choice than to comply, I can't think of running away because I'm really tired and exhausted.

　　The thing I'm thinking about right now is how am I going to face Raymond. Gosh! This is really bad. Oh No what have I gotten myself into? I just hope I come out of this safely. The guy walked toward the door and moved his hand at the door knocking when the door pulled open instantly and Raymond came into view. This only caused my heart to skip. Why is that when the guy is about knocking at the door was the time that Raymond opened the door? It seems he is already aware that we are coming. I averted his look and fixed my gaze at the floor. He looked surprised and astonished to see us because of the way he was staring at his friend, which caused me to wonder if he was really aware that I followed him to his penthouse.

　　"Desmond, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? And how do you find her?" he said, looking somewhat worried.

　　The look on his face shows that it wasn't what I had been thinking. My heart was relieved immediately when I thought about that. But come to think of it, I haven't entered his room to find out so I can't conclude.

　　"I think you should at least let us in before you start your questioning." Desmond said with a smile.

　　Raymond opened the door and ushered it inside. I stood transfixed to the floor amazed by the beauty of the house, it was indeed well designed and structured. My eyes roamed around in the house but my eyes stopped on a particular image on a frame which looked familiar. Taking a good look at it, I discovered it to be the portrait of my brother, the portrait seems to be scary. It was made up of black background and red traces like blood around him. I looked around and found many of my brother's portraits all around his room. I think I have to ask the reason why my brother's portrait was in his room.

　　"May I ask a question. Why is it that it is my brother's portrait that is almost everywhere in your house? Please can I know the reason why?" They all seem shocked and taken aback by my question which I don't care for. I have to know the reason why my brother's portrait is in this room.

　　Raymond raised his head up to say something but Desmond beat him to it by clearing his throat in a funny way which almost caused me to chuckle. "Well, I don't know if you guys know each other from somewhere because with the way you guys were staring at each other, I think there is more to it."

　　"Yes, we've had an encounter when I was almost raped by some outcast of my pack but he saved me with his mascular wolf strength. That by the way. Why is there so many portrait of my brother in your room?"

　　"Raymond, don't tell me you are too shy to tell her that her brother's portrait , which is almost everywhere in your room, is your role model."

　　"Well, Annabel, he loves your brother very much. He loves the way he rules his pack. He alway says to himself that when he established his pack, he would love to rule like your brother. I think that should answer your question."

　　I was flattered and surprised that my brother had someone who loved him and would like to rule like him. I don't know but I think I don't have to believe them.

　　"Now that your question is answered. Can I ask you my questions?" Raymond said with a hand on his chin.

　　"Yes, you can go ahead."

　　"What are you doing here in the middle of the night? And how do you guys find each other?"

　　I stared at Desmond and he explained everything to him without excluding any parts or words.

　　"Oh okay, you must be tired. Where do you like to sleep?"

　　Immediately he said the word sleep, I yawned out softly and stretched my body.

　　"You want to know where I want to sleep right?" he nodded softly with a scoff.

　　"I want to sleep in your room with you." I said and rested my hand on his bulky chest. Desmond almost laughed at my action.

　　"Okay whatever. Follow my lead." he said and crossed his hand behind his back, I followed him from behind.

　　Getting to his room, he opened the door and I walked in majestically before slumping hard tiredly on his king sized bed. The bed was really foamy. I'm really enjoying the softness of his bed with his fucking scent lingering on it. I looked up with a groan as his soft voice disturb me.

　　"Get up and come take your bath." he said and I stood up knowing I really needed the bath. My body is sweaty. Nodding at his word, I stood up from the bed and pulled off my stained dress leaving me with only a bikini top and pants.

　　I watched as he gulped down into nothing staring at my body, looked at him and averted my stares."Where is the way to the bathroom?" He pointed in the right direction even though he didn't bother to look at me.

　　I walked away to the bathroom, switch on the shower. I ran my hand through my long hair as water flowed down from my face. I switched it off and shoved myself into the jacuzzi tub which had been filled with warm water. I grab a fragrance soap and scrub my body for a while before rinsing my body. I stood up from the jacuzzi with water dripping from my body, reached for a white towel beside me and wrapped it around my waist together with my chest region, walked out of the bathroom with a huff sound. I walked toward the wardrobe in the left direction, pulled the wardrobe open and brought out a night's pajamas.

　　"Don't you know that it is bad to steal a lady's body?" I said as I caught him staring at me. He looked down with his gaze on the floor feeling embarrassed. I walked toward the bed and lay on it.

　　"Goodnight, don't dare sleep beside me. You can sleep on the sofa." I said with a yawn before drifting to sleep.
