Pack after midnight and the journey wasn’t too short.
| yawn, pausing as | stretch when | hear the faint creak of a
floorboard, makingfreeze. It’s not a violent stormy night that the wind would cause the apartment to creak.
| tilt my head, but there’s nothing more and | almost smile. Why am | being so paranoid?

| walk to my bedroom, pausing when | see it standing ajar. Strange, I'm sure | shut the door when I left.
| specifically remember trapping my dress in it and then opening it, pulling out the dress and then closing it...
| shake my head as | step inside and flip the light switch.
Darkness. | groan in annoyance.
“Do | even have a spare bulb?”
Tonight is not my night!
I'm about to turn to leave the room when | see a slight movement from the corner of my eye. On reflex, | turn
sharply, my heart dropping when | see the tall, masked man who stands in the corner behind the door. He's in
baggy clothing with his hood up, his head is lowered and in his gloved hands he’s holding... a hammer.
We move at the stime, and | instantly grab the small vanity table that stands beside the door, lifting it up
and swinging it at him with all my might. He ducks, and the table goes flying against the far wall.
| turn, knowing I'm no match for him | need to alert security!
I'm barely two steps out of the bedroom when he grabs my dress, yankingback into the room and kicking
the door shut. He grabs my hair and throwsto the floor.
“What do you want!” | scream as | hit the floor.
F u ck, he’s strong!
I'm about to shout for help, but his gloved hand covers my mouth.

“I need to make sure you aren’t a Blood Born.” He hisses.
A what?
| kick him off, scrambling away.
“I don’t know what that is! You got the wrong person!” | say as he grabsby the arm and violently throws me
onto the bed and climbs on top of me.
Fear envelopsas | struggle fruitlessly.
“Don’t fightand letsee if there’s a mark or not. You might just live,” he snarls.
That voice sounds so... familiar...
“If-if I'm not who you're looking for, will you letgo?” | ask, my heart thundering, feeling his strong thighs
against my own.
They feel like rock. He's pure muscle and in a battle of strength, | will lose. His hand wraps around my throat
squeezing tightly.
He pauses slightly, and at that moment I'm able to see his blue eyes.
Alpha?
My heart plummets as confusion fills me. He was asleep in the car ten minutes ago...
“If you really aren't, then, of course,” he says, caressing my cheek. But one sound and | will kill you.”
The threat is real.

But if | tell him I know... he might just kill me... even if he’s wearing that black mask.

| break out in a cold sweat, sensing his anger rising as he yanks and pulls my hair - until he takes a long
shuddering breath.

“Ah... there it is...” he yanks my hair as his attention falls to the
hammer that lies on the bed.
