Entangled Unwillingly

Chapter Seven

    

          I am already dreading going to office today. Even thinking about Black brothers, give me a feeling that something very uneventful will happen or they will fire me at even my slightest mistake. I just cant put a finger about how I feel, but for sure I am waiting to go back to my original designation. And I have spend just 1 day with them, wonder how coming days would be like.

  Secretly meeting grace we went forward with the day. Reaching my office immediately hearing  ring going off which by now I know its a call from their cabin. "Hello sir" "please come in". I adjusted my work table and got inside "Good morning Ezra" Damien lifted his hand for a handshake. I lifted my hand for a handshake, or else its gonna get very awkward. "aw, its hurts" I feel pain in my fingers. felt like I got a prick by a needle "what happened, you alright?". I can see he was feigning innocence. 

I inspected my hand which did had the prick mark on it.

What the hell is wrong with them, do they hate me so much to hurt me. though it is like a paper cut. 

"I am really sorry my ring has this point indented, its handy for torture, I might have forgot to put the safety back on" Damien said . I am transfixed in the moment. I don't know what to say since it clearly was not an accident

"here let me see" Noah lifted my hands and put a band aid on the cut. 

why does he has a band aid and why did Damien pricked me. Is this some sort of a sign to not mess with them. Or to be subservient to them since they are the alphas. What ever the reason is, I don't want to get involved in their mess, just do my job and get my payment and not involve even in small talk.

"Its fine I will just go wash up" I said to get myself out of this room and get myself some air which does not involve these lunatics.

  "Alright, take your time. You look pretty worked up" Noah said with worry clear on his face.
I gave a affirmative node and got out of that office. I threw some water on my face and took my time while going back, I ate a mint and put some perfume on. I need to look confident not some meek fellow, who can bend according to their rules.
  I got back and we started discussing all the details that I had. They got all the important information form Mr. Black on a conference call.

    We took a break and had lunch. I took my lunch break with my friend in my department. We chatted a lot, and how they missed me. Well I missed them too, but I don't wanna be cheesy by saying it out loud. About how I wish, if given a chance I will be in my old desk in a jiffy. We both took fried chicken burger. "how's it going with Lana, last time she was going to move here" I said while drinking my Chocolate shake. "Lana was going to move here but its getting uncertain since her brother doesn't wants to take the alpha title and next in line is Lana, nothing is yet decided. But I might have to go leaving my family behind, you know how the law is and there can't be any compromise done in bond for an extended period of time. I do love her, I am sure we would reach a common ground in our decisions." He said.
"Lets just be optimistic and anyways whatever happens, happens for some good " I said. Trying to pass on some good energy.
"Whatever man, tell me about you, when are you going to propose Grace" he said.
"Soon bro, we are planning to go to Paris next weekend, I have no perfect plan as of now, but I would plan something, will visit the ring shop this weekend" I said with a smile.
"All the best man, you both will be great for each other." He said stuffing the burger.

I reached Mr. Blacks office. Both the brothers were there on call.
I just sat there listening in to the conversation.

From this cabin, I can see the whole city. So many things could be happening in those tall buildings. Some one would be having a bad day or someone might be having a blast. Some may be working so hard just to get by. So many different feelings.
"... Ezra" I looked at the Noah.
"You seemed to be lost" he said seemingly in a good mood than I have ever seen him.
"Sorry, just got lost in my thoughts" I said slightly embarrassed.
"A penny for your thoughts that you seemed so immersed in." He said. What's with them.
And what the heck was I even thinking. "I honestly don't even remember what was I even thinking, but we can start discussing regarding the affordable housing project in downtown" I said.
   "Do you think anyone in our office might not have done the mate gene test" Damien said totally disregarding my opinion.
"I have no idea about that, but in the procedure of recruitment, the test is a compulsory requirement." I said, stating the facts. But my heart rate spiked.
"You seem to get tense at the mention of the test, were you positive on the test". Noah said amused for some reason.
"N-no, I had a negative result" I said looking anywhere but them. Why do I fucking stutter when I lie. And that too in front of fucking law makers.
We would be fucked if our tests go in audit. Well if they sensed my lie, I would be digging my own grave, irrespective if I have a mate or not.
"Have you guys found your mates yet" I said trying to divert the topic from the tests.
"Not yet, not even from the results, but our wolves seems to sense them. Like they are somewhere near us." Noah said.
"I am sure whoever they will be very lucky to have the future kings as their mates". I said trying to sweat talk to them.
  They had a dreamy space look going on. "We wish you would have a mate too. Just the only one for you, and you for them" Noah said.
"I am happy with my love life" I said with a smile and trying to end the conversation.
"What do you mean, your love life" Damien said quickly with a growl. Almost angry, I have never seen him this angry. Noah looked angry too a big contrast to his calm and collected look.
  "I-I m-mean my non-existing love life and work, relationships can be a bit hectic to me." I said. I mean I have to hide my relationship as to not blow away my stable job due to some stupid policy. The way Damien reacted seemed like he have problem with me being in a relationship in general.

  "How about we get back to work, enough with the chit chatting" Damien said looking content with my answer.
"Yeah sure" well you are the one who wants to gossip. Why do they even want to know who has done the tests.
  It was again a hectic day with full of meetings. Compared to my days being in my element and working on my designs.
I would have to start searching on getting a beautiful ring for my beloved. I need to have some sort of plan, after all its gonna be remembered all our lives.
"Do you want us to drop you off on our way" Noah asked.
"I have my car sir, I will be fine." Damien nodded and moved to the elevator.
  I went to my car and turned it on. Ggggrrrjhhhh it made this weird sound and the engine died down I again tried to turned it on and it made the same noise again. Just awesome I have to take the subway like old times.

"Broke down? Hop in we will drop you off." Damien said, more like a order.
"Its fine Sir, I am going to take a subway or a bus, don't worry about me, goodnight ." I said getting out of my car and trying to get in the opposite direction of their car.
"Do you want me to get down and bring you in the car on my shoulder" Damien challenged me.  "Pls say no Ezra, I want to see you on his shoulder" Noah said clearly entertained at my cost.
   I don't want to go with them, something seems off about them.
But then again i don't want to be on his shoulder and my intuition says he would do exactly as he says.
  "Sir I appreciate you taking care of you employee, but my leg is a bit stiff from sitting the whole day, might as well get to walk and exercise my leg a bit." I said giving my last shot.
  "Get in the car, right now." Damien said in a very strange voice. I just start to walk on the pavement and open the car door to get in, and settled in the back seat. As I sat I felt very helpless, how could i just sit in somebody car with just a order.
  "Its fine, next time just listen to him."  Noah said.
  I didn't replied. I don't know what to say. I know he is the future alpha king. But how could i just do something just like that, as if I was hypnotized. 
  He could have literally said to jump from the window. And I would just do it. If I was not terrified of these creatures before, now I am.
Should I tell them my address. I feel my tongue is tied. But I want to get out of the car.
"Just take next right, my house is in that lane" I lied, not wanting them to know my actual address.
Damien or Noah didn't replied.
And just went ahead and in sometime we were in front of my house.
"Next time you lie there will be consequences" Noah said.
I just starred at him, so many questions going through my mind.  How do they know my house address. And why are they suddenly so bossy around me.
"Words Ezra, is that understood?" Damien reprimanded.
"Yes Sir, its understood" I said. I heard a click sound indicating the child lock is off.
"Go ahead Ezra have a good night" Noah said.
 I said good night barely above a whisper. And went ahead without looking back. 

 I have had enough of them.
