Willow's POV:

I walked into work right on time and clocked in before going up to Mr Riley's office.

I knocked on the door before hearing a gruff "come in."

My heals clicked as I walked to his desk. "Good morning, Mr Riley."

"Good morning, Aroura . Follow me and I'll show you your office."

I nodded once before we made our way across the hall o my new office. It had a desk in the middle with plain grey walls. It has a microwave and water dispenser in the corner along with a set of keys on my desk.

"There are papers on your desk. You go through them, some of them will require your signature along with mine. The key chain has a key to every door in this building, the room name is carved on the key. The microwave, water dispenser, and coffee machine all work and you may use them. Any questions?"

I shake my head before going to sit at my desk, I put my purse underneath the desk before putting my spare dagger and gun inside the desk drawer and locking it.

Mr Riley silently left the room as I put my coffee in the surface of the desk. I signed my name to any papers that required it after reading them. If any papers had a date from a different date, I threw them away.

A few phone calls came in, requesting a meeting with Mr Riley. If any of them weren't for meetings then I just told them no unless they gave me a valid reason.

I went a made me a cup of water when the phone rang again. "Hello, this is Mr Riley's PA, how may I help you?"

I very deep gruff voice came on the other end of the phone, "I need to speak to Mr Riley personally."

That voice seems oddly familiar, where have I heard it before?

"Yes sir. May I ask your name?"

"Just tell him it's 'L'."

My brows furrowed before giving him a slight "ok" and walking into Mr Riley's office.

"Mr Riley, someone would like to speak to you. He said that his name is 'L'?"

"Forward him to me." I have a slight nod before walking back to my office and letting the mystery man know that he's being forwarded.

I grabbed my water and began drinking it. As a demon, I sadly can't have more than one cup of caffeine unless I want to lose my demon.

Mr Riley walked into my office causing me to look up at him. "If the receptionist calls you saying 'L' is here than allow him up here and unlock my office for him. I'm going to the bathroom." I nodded before he left.

I continued signing my name onto papers and making a stack of the ones that are trash and the ones the require Mr Riley's signature.

The phone rings again before I answer it. "Mr Riley's PA, may I help you?"

"Yes, this is Molly, the receptionist. There's someone by the name of 'L' here to see Mr Riley. Should I send him up?"

"Yes send him to my office."

The beefing on the phone signals the call ended. I fill out one more signature before there's a knock on the door.

I get up and open the door. There stands a man with jet black hair, a few greys in the mix. He seems so familiar to me. He has the darkest red eyes that I've ever seen. Definitely a demon. A highly familiar demon, but a demon for sure.

"Hello, Mr L. Right this way." I walk across the hallway and jiggle the door knob to make sure he didn't unlock it before finding the key for his office and opening it.

The room was empty. He hasn't left the bathroom yet. "You may leave miss..."

"Diance."

"Ok well you may leave miss Diance."

"I'm required to not leave anyone alone in Mr Riley's office unless it's him, himself. You know, thief protocol."

He rolled his eyes before scanning me from head to toe. "You know, ms Diance, you look oddly familiar. What's your first name."

I stay silent for a moment before answering "Aroura."

He continues to analyze me for a few moments before Mr Riley finally enters. "You may leave now Aroura. You get off in an hour."

I check my watch and see it's already 7pm. Time flies by.

"I'll have papers on your desk by the time I leave, Mr Riley."

I walk out and go to my office to finish signing my name on papers and making stacks. At about 7:55 I throw away the trash stack and go to put Mr Riley's papers on his desk.

When I walked in, Mr L watched my every move. "I've clocked out Mr Riley. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok. I've emailed you your schedule for this week. Have a good evening."

I give a slight nod and walk out of the office building and begin my walk home.

It's very dark outside because of the winter season. Good thing I don't get cold because of where I'm from.

I take the long way home so that I don't have to pass the club on my way home and encounter a bunch of stupid drunk people.

Who am I kidding. If my witch could handle it, then I'd be shitfaced every night. But if I drink more than a few shots of alcohol then I lose control of my powers.

I walk past a big forest clearing and my wolf yearns to strip and go for a run. I look around to see no one as I go behind a big tree and shift and begin my run through the woods back to my apartment.

I shift back and put my work clothes back on before making way into my apartment. When I enter, the door is unlocked. I know I locked it when I left. Right?

I walk in and my couch is slightly moved to the right along with the TV. The microwave door is cracked open and the thermostat is now 2 degrees below what it was when I left. Someone is fucking with me.

I fix the living room before going and doing the same thing I did last night. Check my home, shower, make sure my stuff is under my pillow, and going into a restless sleep.
