Chapter 5 Protect Her

• Elena -POV
• I sat up to find myself on the couch and the empty bottle of whisky. Great, now I understand the reason for the intense headache is a hangover. I struggled to find meds to quell the headache. After a few minutes of struggling, I found the medication. I looked around at the mess I had made in my room. The doorbell rang, and I knew it would be my maid. I opened it to find Mr. Ford dressed as a dapper.
• “Still a hangover,” he said coldly.
• “No shit, Sherlock,” I snarled at him, heightening my headache. He gave me a frown for lashing out at him.
• “I came here to talk about business. It seems not the right time.”
• “Wait, don’t you dare walk away from me,” I growled. He didn’t listen as he stepped into the elevator. He raised an eyebrow at me as I stepped into the elevator. His gaze gave me from head to toe, and I looked down to find myself still in camisole-laced pajamas, which showed a view of my breasts. I didn’t mind it, as it fixated me on getting answers from him.
• “You are so eager to know.” Why does his voice sound so sexy and deep that it makes me stare at him like a pervert?
• “Of course I am. You came last night to discuss the same thing.” He nodded.
• “I wanted to say”. The elevator ceased suddenly, and I panicked. I am claustrophobic. Mr.Ford looked at me with concern as I felt the light head, and his warm hand held me close to him as his scent filled my nostrils. The dizziness and sweating, and shaking stopped, and I saw his sharp jawline closely. It makes it hard to miss how handsome this man looked. He could audition to be a model or could be an actor too. He still held me. My frame pressed against his hard rock chest. His blue eyes looked at me as if I was doing okay.
• The light came back on the elevator. The elevator door opened, and the gasp of someone made me turn to look. I saw the resident of this building snapping a picture of Silas and me from his phone. I was still in Mr. Ford’s hold and quickly distanced myself from him, noting my closeness.
• “Hey, you delete the picture,” I growled.
• “Hell no, abusive bitch. I am going to make a quick buck” Mr. Ford stepped out of the elevator, and so did I. He held the phone to the guy and slammed him on the floor.
• “You dare to say one more word? I will make sure you regret it”. The voice sent a shiver down my spine. It was dangerous. The guy backed away as if he saw a ghost.
• “Elena, I suggest we talk another time,” he said coldly, back to his demeanor. He took off from the stairs, I think maybe headed to the parking lot. I went back to my apartment.

• Silas - Pov
• “Ray, don’t you dare push me back and take control of me,” I seethed.
• “Fucking Human, dare to mock our mate.” He snarled at me.
• “I had it under control. You didn’t have to step in. We are a human realm. We can’t display our superhuman power.” Ray snorted at my words.
• Luckily, Elena didn’t see my eye color, or she would have asked so many questions. It surprised me that my secretary found a penthouse next to Elena, which is for good, I guess, or not.
• I will help Elena with this mess that her fiance is creating, and then I will keep my distance from her soon. It will be for her good.
• I drove to the office as there were a lot of meetings pending. Why was the image of Elena’s frame pressed against mine? Her sweet honey scent was alluring. I can’t think about other women even though she is my second chance mate.
• Maya was my everything; moving on from her is something I can’t bring myself to do.
• The phone rang, and I checked my caller ID: Mac. “Alpha, the elders want to meet Elena and take her to the Moonflower chapel to see if the check is a late shifter.”
• “I doubt Elena is she-wolf. I only got her human scent, and I didn’t detect any wolf power or faint energy,” I explained.
• “I will convey your words,” Mac said.
• “I get it. I will try to bring Elena with me”, disconnecting the call. I park the car at my office building. The staff looked at me in surprise and fear as I walked to my office. It has been three and half years since I came to the human world.
• I sit behind my desk. I asked my secretary to get all the details about Elena. Elena's ex-fiance was trying to stop her from working in the film industry.
• “Mr.Ford”
• “What is it, Kate?”
• “Mr. Smith is asking for a meeting.” I raised my eyebrow in question. “ I mean, Ms. Hayes, Ex-Fiance is here to meet you” The asshole must be here because of the investment I am planning to put in the movie that had Elena cast as the actress.
• “Send him in.” This asshole dares to show up at my office.
