4 - his wolf

Ember Harper's POV:

Dropping me on the enormous king sized bed, he started walking over to the other side of the lit up room. Every step he took radiated off with dominance and pure power.

Who was this man?

Even though still ghostly scared, I started looking around the expensive looking bedroom. From top to bottom, everything in here was either black or grey.

And in the pile of that, stood out my red oversized t-shirt. Collecting myself on the bed, I did not dare to move.

"You are one beautiful girl, don't you know?" a man suddenly appeared all over again, his dressed up attire now changing to a pair of sweatpants and a plain white t-shirt.

He approached the bed slowly, making me feel like a prey to a hungry animal that was ready to attack.

He stood on the edge of the bed, his straight eyebrow raised up in a daring manner.

I gulped, letting my first thoughts spill out of my mouth.

"Please don't rape me!" I blurted out, almost in a shout as i covered my face with my hands instinctively.

I was expecting a hit or even a harsh word, but got nothing in response but the airy laugh the man let out.

I dropped my hands down to my lap, looking up to him hesitantly. His face not turned back to normal, his arms held behind hid back.

"I would never attempt to sexually harass you, my dear. At least not without your will." He said with a softer tone this time, sending me a small wink.

My stomach flipped and turned, but my body relaxed slightly.

He sat down on the bed, putting his hands behind his head as he let his head drop in between the soft looking pillows.

"Tell me your name. I can't call you by nicknames, can't I?" he said, licking his previously dry lips.

Please do.

"Ember." I let out, which was followed by a rough cough. I surely needed something to drink which he noticed instantly.

He handed me a bottle of water that was placed on his desk, cracking it open for me.

"Ember. Such a beautiful name." He told me as i started drinking the soothing cold water.

The way it rolled off his tongue was enough to make my knees buckle. Luckily, I was sitting down.

"T-thank you." I said shyly, as always.

"Would you tell me why I'm here? did those man save me from that animal?" I asked, getting curious now that i relaxed.

His eyebrows raised, making his beautiful eyes stand out more than before.

With a sigh, he sat up properly, scooting closer to me. And that seemed to phase both of us, it seemed.

"You are here with a purpose. Ember, you are here so you could be mine." He said, making my eyes widen instantly

Was this man insane? was he a psychopath?

"Of course, you don't understand what that means" he breathed out slowly.

A well known feeling of fear built up in my body quickly as he said that.

"What the hell are you talking about?" i asked, seeing that his facial expression darkened as soon as i used a swear word. He blinked slowly, taking in a sharp breath before starting to talk again.

"I am a werewolf." He said, making me give him a confused and frightened look.

I read about werewolves, ancient powerful creatures that lived in big packs and had their leader.

"Are you joking?" I asked harshly, hoping that he laughed right after.

But to my unfortunate, his face stayed plain and without any emotion whatsoever.

"No, mi bella, I am not. You are my mate, someone I am destined to love." He said, his icy blue eyes now changing colors.

Red tone flashed in his orbs, making me jump back.

This was true...

My jaw dropped from all the shock, my brain wanting to believe that this was nothing but a sick joke.

Was he going to keep me here forever?

Wanting to say something, I started moving my mouth. But nothing came out, most likely making me look ridiculous.

His eyes now softened, bringing back more green than blue. He moved towards me, but I did nothing but back away.

I was currently sitting with something that could rip my head off so easily.

But thankfully, he chose not to.

"Don't be scared of me. I am here to protect you." He reassured, me finally letting him take my hand in his.

Warm waves that radiated off his smooth skin warmed my body up almost instantly.

I slipped my hand out of his huge one, not feeling good about touching him now.

"Go to sleep now. You are tired." He said, clearing his throat.

"Here?"

"Yes, here." He answered, lifting up the covers so I could get under. Even though i was ready to fall asleep, my mind was wide awake and panicking.

"I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep after this." I said, scooting away from him as much as I could.

What was going to happen now?

He looked at me sharply, a small grin stretching over his plump lips. I could feel my breath hitch, so I looked away in hope that he would do.

"Don't worry. I will help." He said, clicking off the lamp that gave this room a small amount of light.

Resting in between the pillows, i heard him breathe out a small sigh before turning to his back and closing his eyes.

Oh god, I think there will be no sleep for me tonight...
