Chapter 3 Threaten

• Elena—POV
• I blink my eyes, feel the soft bed under me, and look around. The dull pain in my head was still there. I recall the images of a handsome hunk and his enormous dick.
• “Jeez, I sound like a pervert,” I muttered.
• “So, still thinking about my Dick,” I gasped, hearing the deep voice. My gaze met the blue ocean orbs in the dim light. He smirked at me. I struggled hard to keep blushing under his stare.
• “No,” I whispered, trying to conceal my embarrassment. He smirked at me. I averted my gaze from him, so I could breathe, as his intense gaze made me vulnerable.
• “Where am I” pulling myself from this strange warm feeling around this man.
• “Wolf Land,” he replied. It tore his expression as if he wanted to avoid saying that. But when he told Wolf Land, the image of him transforming in front of my car appeared, and fear gripped me as I clenched onto the bedsheet.
• “Wolf Land. Where in the world is this place” I asked, trying to look around, not him. As my heartbeat fastens because I am confident this man is a beast.
• “Far away from Minnesota. Elena, if you feel fine, you can travel back to New York,” he said. I looked at him, and his gaze was stoic. Unlike the amused orbs, he peered at me. When he mentioned New York, I felt dread at the thought of facing the media after being cheated on by my fiancé.
• I didn’t like to travel to New York and pretend to be strong in front of the media. Not only that, but I prefer to hide and cry.
• “Hey, relax” His deep voice made me look at his ocean-blue eyes and warm palms on mine, his scent of pines tinged with whiskey. My heart beat faster at his stare, which didn’t show emotion yet. I sensed tranquility at his touch. What the fuck is the feeling? I felt like a warm cocoon.
• “Ms. Hayes, are you okay?” Yuri walked in as she saw Mr. Ford’s hands were on mine, and I pulled my hand from his grip.
• “Yes, just a little ahead,” I said. Yuri nodded and gave me some water.
• “Umm…. Are you guys Wolf? Like a magical creature who transforms.” Mr. Ford and Yuri stared at each other and then at me.
• “No, we are not,” Mr. Ford replied sternly. “Just because it’s called Wolf Land, it doesn’t mean we are wolves. We are a clan who stay away from the cities”. I looked at him to see through words if he was lying to me. But his emotion didn’t tell me anything. I saw him transform into a human from a wolf. Was that my illusion?
• “Ms. Hayes, the doctor said you are almost healed,” Yuri said with a smile, and I knew she was discreetly saying quickly to leave this place. Maybe the clan or tribe doesn’t like outsiders.
• “I will take my leave in two hours,” I said. It was already near dawn. Yuri nodded, but Mr. Ford gave a blank stare. They left the room. I gazed out the window.
• I didn’t have the phone with me to contact my secretary. I regret throwing my phone and everything out of the car.
• I turned on the television and found out that cops were looking for me, and the media twisted the story and made me look emotionally depressed. My reputation is at stake just because of asshole Jake.
• I wiped my tears from the emotion of anger and frustration. I was bubbling inside of me. Jake won't get away from this. Jake played me, and I would take him down. That asshole made me look like a fool in front of the world.
• A knock came on the door. I looked at Yuri standing at the doorframe with a sympathetic gaze as she watched the TV News and then at me. I quickly wiped my tears.
• “Yuri, I have a favor to ask,” I said, trying to avoid looking at her expression, as I didn’t like the sympathetic gaze on me.
• “Yes, of course.”
• “Can I have your phone?” She extended her smartphone. I dialed my secretary and told her to send the car. Yuri wrote the location for the vehicle to be sent, and I informed him of the address on call.
• “We should get going, Ms. Hayes, because we are far from the location of the car sent by your secretary.” I looked shocked at her words. This clan stays discreet. She didn’t even let my car come into this region.
• I stepped out of the Manor; the parked car looked like a new model of Tess, the most expensive vehicle I wished to buy.
• “You like cars?” Yuri asked as she caught my gaze at the vehicle. I nodded with a smile. I looked at her and then around to see if Mr. Ford was there, but he was not.
• “Looking for something.” Yuri’s brown eyes twinkled with amusement.
• “I want to thank Mr. Ford if he is busy,” I asked. Yuri nods solemnly.
• “I will convey the message to him,” Yuri said as she got into the car and started our journey to the destination. Yuri spoke about how happy she was to meet me, talk about my films, and asked if I would work on a famous web series for the second season. Yuri was questioning me, just like the media and fans. I want to be quiet. I would rather not be rude to tell Yuri to shut up.
• Finally, the ride ended, and I saw my limo and security team waiting for me, and the media were also on the scene.
• “Are you sure? Will you be okay out there?” Yuri asked, looking at the press reporters.
• “I am used to the pressure and spotlight”, I gave her a small smile. She looked at me and nodded as I stepped out of the car, the camera flashing and the mic coming in front of me.
• “Elena, what happened to you?” the report asked.
• “Elena, did you run away because of your fiance?” The other female reporter asked.
• “Are you leaving Hollywood?” asked another reporter.
• The security pushed the reports away from me, and Janice sat opposite. Her gaze looked at me with concern and the bandage on my head. I gestured for her to be quiet. I needed peace as Yuri ate my ears throughout the whole ride.
• “What is the status?” I asked quietly, looking at the moving car window.
• “Not good, Ms. Hayes. The film producers are not happy, as the media are slandering your name after Mr. Jake’s interview,” Janice explained with concern. I smirked, not gazing at Janice, who would look at me in confusion.
• “Ms., are you alright?” Janice’s concerned voice made me look at her.
• “I am fine, Janice. Set up an interview with the media tomorrow.” Janice nods her head and works on the laptop.
• Jake, that asshole, he dared to say I am a toxic person to be with, was when he was obsessed with me.

• Silas - POV
• “Why did you let our mate go?” Ray growled in anger at me. I blocked him from pestering me.
• “Alpha, I escorted Elena,” Yuri said as she entered my office. I nodded my head.
• “Did Mac return?” I emailed my head office to get accounts for this year.
• “Not yet.” Yuri looked at me, and I knew she wanted to speak with me.
• “What?” I gazed up from my laptop.
• “Did you have to let your mate go, knowing some unknown dark creature was trying to harm her?” Yuri spoke, irked.
• “It's the best option,” I sighed, returning to work. But deep down, I felt uneasy about my decision.
• “I don't think so. You didn't even tell the pack elders about your second mate.”
• “Enough, Yuri, get out” My stern tone made her cringe, and she scowled as she left my office. I couldn't concentrate on my tasks. Shut off my laptop. I took the shuteye for a short time.
• ****
• “Don't worry, Silas; I will always stay by your side,” Maya's sweet tone echoed in my head. She wore a magnificent gown that looked gorgeous in features. Her pale skin matched her red hair and her emerald eyes.
• “Maya, I love you. You are my only mate,” I muttered as I kissed her red lips. Suddenly, the exquisite evening turned darker as I saw Maya in my arms with the blood-soaked gown and her lifeless eyes staring at me. I jolted up and blinked to see myself in the office, and I wiped the sweat.
• “Fuck, not this nightmare again,” I muttered. Panting. I made a drink for myself and Elena's image was displayed on the news. I unmute the TV and hear her fiancé saying how Elena made his life hell, which is why he had to leave her.
• But this man is a liar because his body language told me he is a manipulative asshole and a toxic guy Elena is with. I felt pissed at this man's daring to say such things to Elena.
• “No control your feelings, Silas; you can't interfere in her life and keep your distance,” I, Pep, talked to myself. It's better to keep her alive, unlike my mate.
• “Alpha,” Mac entered with a tense expression.
• “I don't know why Elena came here, but I found one thing. Someone is trying to kill Elena.” Terror gripped me. My heart beat fast, thinking of Elena dying just like my mate.
• “Who is behind this?” I demanded. Mac flinched with a growl.
• “Her Fiancé,” Mac spoke with worry. The glass in my hand broke into pieces.
• “Mac, tell the elder what happened and how Elena entered the Pack. I am going to meet Elena,” Mac gazed at me, shocked.
• “Aren't you supposed to keep your distance?” He asked.
• “I can't, knowing she is not safe in the human community,” I growled and took my clothes and laptop.
• “I heard from Alpha. Please take care of Luna,” Yuri said. She liked Elena.
• “Wait, Alpha, how will you protect and stay close to Elena?” Mac demanded.
• “I will figure it out. "
• “Idiot Alpha is a billionaire in the human realm. He can pull some strings.” Yuri scowled at Mac.
• “Tell me what the elders have to say about Elena” Mac nodded his head, and I got in my car. I dialed up my secretary to rent the suite for me near Elena's penthouse.

• Elena—POV
• Stepping under a shower, and tears flowed down my eyes. The hot shower tried to soothe my aching body and my heart.
• I stepped out to dry my hair. The fatigue took over me. It could result from stress and health issues. I put on my pajamas. It's already afternoon; I can't leave my apartment because the media is waiting for me like hungry wolves. My mind wanders to Mr. Ford's comforting hand on mine. That sense of calm I felt was the first time in my life.
• "Ms. Hayes, your lunch is ready.” The maid alerted me and walked to the table to eat alone. It was depressing. A buzzer came, and the housemaid checked the video. Who was at the door? She turned to me with concern.
• “Who is it?”
• “Ms. Hayes, it's your Fiancé,” she muttered. I felt chilled knowing he dared to show up at my door. The anger simmered in.
• “Let him in.” I stopped eating. He walked in with a smirk. I felt irritation at his grin. I wanted to punch his face.
• “Good to see you back, my Elz,” he said.
• “What the fuck are you doing here” I spoke through my clenched teeth. He smirked at my reaction.
• “Relax, Elz. I am just here to check on you.”
• “First, you don't call me Elz; second, quit your fake sympathy. Get out of my sight,” I growled, and he closed the distance between us. I didn't back away from him. Instead, I glared back at him with rage.
• “Elz, I am sorry." He caressed my cheeks and said, "I must hurt you." I shoved his hand off of me. “I can return to you. But quit working on films. I can't see you having intimate scenes with another man”. I never see this side of Jake. He sounds like a psycho. I was above marrying this man!
• “This is the reason you left me. You are a sick person. I am happy you left." I moved away from him, and Jake glared at me.
• “If you don't get out of this industry, I will damage your reputation so that no one will work with you,” he said with a frown that deepened. I snorted at his words.
• “Thank God you showed me your true colors. I will fight back, asshole. Go fuck yourself.” I saw his green eyes change color, and he flinched, feeling heavy.
• “Elz, you don't know what you are against.” I felt a shiver down my spine at the intensity of his threat. I didn't show I was afraid of this man who was so loving and seeing him today act like a devil. It scares me who this man was that I was above marrying this man.
• “Fuck off, Jake,” I growled.
• “I will make you mine. When you have nothing left and no one loves you. I will take care of you.” he held me by my waist and pulled me close to his chest.
• "Shut up.” I slapped him across his face. “Let me go, asshole,” I growled. A struggle to get out of his hold. Before I could kick him in his jewels, he stopped my leg with another hand. He smirked at me menacingly and pulled me into a kiss. He let go of me, and the maid came to me afterward, helping to get my footing.
• “See you next time, Elz.” He strode out of my apartment. Who is this man? Is he a devil, for sure? I rushed into the washroom and washed my mouth. The thought of his lips touching mine made me disgusted. I won't let this abusive asshole take advantage of me. Jake, I will ruin you, for sure. I dressed to get to my office for work and speak with producers and my PR. As I stepped out, the elevator opened. I stood, surprised.
