His Heir (On Hold )

3.

Dawn's POV

I looked at the room making sure that I haven't forgotten to pack a single thing. I was going to leave today and I already gave Carly a call telling her that I had to leave because of personal reasons. I wasn't going to tell her that my mate, well ex-mate is currently on my tail. I wouldn't want to draw any more pity from her. Plus, I wouldn't want to bother her. She's done so much for me already. I looked at my watch; she should have been here 10 minutes ago. During our conversation, she mentioned that she wanted to tell me something and she wants to see me before I leave. After hearing her pleas, I finally said yes. I started tapping my foot. What if? Nah, you are just being paranoid Dawn. No one is out to get Carly. Besides, Carly knows her way around her. This is, after all, her apartment. I glanced at my watch once again. Where is she? There was a knock on the door. I immediately opened it without looking at the person.

'Thank God Carly, I was so worried about you. I thought you were in trouble or something!'

There was no reply from the person at the door.

'I know that you're surprised because I'm ranting right now but i got worried so much and you were never late when we meet up.'

There was still no reply from her.

'Hey,what's -- '

When I turned to see Carly, I saw a tall, blonde man standing. Not just an ordinary man. A wolf. Blood drained from my face and I felt my knees buckle as I stared at the man. He looked at me seriously but didn't say a thing. I decided to break the silence and tried to keep my confidence, knowing that there is nothing in my current situation to be confident about.

"Uhm, w-who are you?"

My voice came out almost as a whisper but with the silence filling the room, I'm pretty sure that he heard it.

"You're a rogue."

It was a statement, not a question. Fuck. I tried to act nonchalantly and pretend to be confused with his statement.

I let out an awkward chuckle .

"W-What? Uhm, y-you must be joking. Who are you?"

Instead of giving me an answer, he took his phone out and I'm very certain that he was about to call someone. Panick seeped through my system as it dawned on me that he was about to call someone. His alpha, maybe.

"WAIT!"

I screamed bloody murder that made him look at me.

'Look, I don't know who you are and clearly, you are trespassing! So, if I were you I'd step out of this apartment before I call the cops!"

I gave myself a mental tap at the back as I said it without stuttering. I hope that it would work.

'Trespassing? Who do you think is the one who is trespassing here?'

I looked around helplessly as he resumed using his phone. Darn it. There is only one door in this apartment at the man is currently blocking the way. I saw a scissor and a packing tape at the center of the table and an idea came into my mind. If I could just get my hands on him and find a way to make him stay put, I could tape his hands and legs so that he couldn't move. I glanced at the man, who was still by the way busy with his phone. Nope, there is no way in hell that I could get my hands o him. He is definitely bigger than me. I mentally sighed. There's got to be some way that I'll be able to escape this situation. Come on Dawn, you've been on the run these past few months and you are not getting yourself caught now. Think Dawn. Think.

I took a deep breath and focused on getting myself out of here. There were unanswered questions in my head and I'm not going to get them if I get caught.

I noticed that my bedroom door is open and an idea, this time it's not lame, popped into my head.

I ran to my bedroom as fast as I could and locked the door. Moments later, I heard him pounding at the door but I did my best to ignore it. The locked door will buy me sometime but it won't be long until he's going to break it. I checked my phone to see if there was a call or even a message from Carly. No such luck. I was thankful that I kept my phone with me at all times and in my situation, a phone is really handy. I dialled Carly's number but there is no answer from her. I cursed. I took a risk and called her again but there was still no answer from her. Darn it Carly, where are you? Are you safe? Are you okay?

I heard him curse on the other side and I hurriedly opened my window. Yes, this is my plan. I intended to use the widow as my exit. I was on the second floor and I convinced myself that it was not that high and I would survive without any casualties when I land on my feet. Another loud thud came from the door and I'm pretty sure that he's now kicking it. I took another glance at the ground. Okay. It's now or never.

Gathering all courage I could muster at the moment, I jumped.
