His Claws On My Neck [Completed]

Chapter 6: The Mystery Behind Her

Confused by the sudden change in her emotions, Axel's smile completely vanished and his questioning eyes darted to her retreating figure. 

What just happened? 

One moment she was just in front of her, the emotions in her eyes mixed with astonishment and bewilderment, then the next it was void of any, with her shoulders turning cold towards him and leaving him suspended in the air. 

When she closed his door, his senses went back to him. Though he was still a bit confused, he quickly pressed on his intercom. Not a mere second later, his secretary immediately storms inside his office. 

"You called for me, Sir?" 

He nodded. "Alert the guards to watch out for a girl in a beige trench coat, a scarf, and black boots. Take her back to me." 

"Isn't that the girl you brought inside, Sir?" She asked, her brows furrowed in confusion. 

"Yes, now tell them! She might've left the building already!" 

His secretary rushed outside, as he exasperatedly sighed and leaned back on his chair. He can't let her go. Not when he found her again. He didn't think he'd see her again, after that night at the bar. She smelled so uniquely rapturing, and when he asked his COO, Tyrone, he said that meant that she was his mate. 

A mate. He had almost given up looking for his mate, but she came at just the perfect time.

That morning, he regretted so much why he let her out of his sight. But fate really had plans. She voluntarily walked to him, in his own company, announcing her undeniably stunning presence. 

She was even more beautiful with the sunlight hitting her features, was his first thought as soon as he found her.

Everything felt like a daydream from then on, but it shattered when her eyes fell when he introduced himself. An indescribable emotion flashed in her eyes, something foreign when matched with her angelic aura. She looked so timid then, but when her face changed, she looked... lethal, and somewhat broken. When her mood dramatically shifted, her cold demeanor chilled the room. He felt like he saw a totally different side of her. The shy and fidgety Leal was gone, and what replaced was a stone-cold one. 

And he has a feeling his name had something to do with it. 

Axel patiently waited, having immense trust in his guards. But minutes passed, and there was still no Leal entering his office. After half an hour of waiting, he impatiently stood up and left his office. He went to his secretary's desk outside his office and saw that she was nowhere to be found. 

He frowned and went to the elevator. 

What greeted him on the base floor was mayhem. 

He saw a few of his guards bruised with claw marks, getting treated on one side, while a few of his other employees were gathered up in a circle. When they noticed him getting near, they made way for him as he saw his secretary on the floor in a horrible state, and the floor stained with blood. 

"What happened, Riye?" 

Riye, his secretary, looked up at him. He was greeted by one of her eyes turning purple with a black eye. 

"She happened, Sir! She pounced at us! We didn't know that she was a shifter!" 

Axel tilted his head in confusion. 

She pounced at them? In broad daylight? 

Well, she definitely didn't look like she was the aggressive type.
