Food made by her
The next day was Saturday.
She went back to Alex’s house the next morning. Even though she wanted to go back in the evening, she couldn’t because Alex sent Shawn to pick her up early in the morning.
She had no choice but to follow Shawn because she also didn’t want her mom to find out about anything going on, but she was still curious about what her mom told Alex.
She entered the house only to see Alex sitting on the couch in the living room. “My bunny is finally here.” Alex said with a smile as he walked up to her.
She did not say anything to him because she did not want to start arguing with him, so she just kept quiet.
“I’ve been waiting for you,” Alex said.
“He’s been waiting for me? Why? I’m sure he’s planning something.” Ellie thought, frowned, and asked. “Why?”
He smiled and walked closer to her. “I was just waiting to eat the food made by you,” he answered.
Ellie looked at him with disbelief. She couldn’t believe that he was the same man who acted strict toward her the second time they met, because the way he smiled at her always made her think back.
“Cook?! When did you start eating food made by other people?” She asked.
“How can I eat other people’s food when my bunny cooks such delicious food?” Alex answered.
“I am not your maid, OK? There are maids in the house that can cook for you.” Ellie said to him: She was already so tired from arguing with him that she just walked forward to leave for her room.
“I’ll allow you to go anywhere without asking for my permission.” Alex said with a smile, and suddenly Ellie stopped in her tracks. She turned around slowly to look at him.
She walked back to where he was and asked, “Do you think I’m a fool? You think I’ll believe whatever comes out of your mouth?”
“I give you my word, Ellie,” he said. Ellie looked at him for some time; she knew that it was only when he was being serious that he called her by her name.
She was still having doubts about him, but she sighed and said, “Fine.”
“What do you want to eat?” Ellie asked.
“I will eat anything you cook.” He said, to which Ellie nodded.
She dropped the bag with her and walked to the kitchen. The maids who were in the kitchen quickly dropped what they were doing; they bowed their heads and walked out of the kitchen. They were all surprised to see their masters in the kitchen, especially their Alpha.
“What are you doing here?” Ellie asked, not knowing that he had followed her.
“I’m here to learn,” he answered.
“Learn? You have to leave. What do you want the employees to think about you?” Ellie said. She knew that the maids were definitely gossiping about her, not to talk about them seeing Alex in the kitchen with her.
“They can think whatever they want. It’s my kitchen, and I can enter anytime I want.” Alex said with a smile, which Ellie couldn’t help but to accept. He stood beside her, watching her every move.
Ellie kept cutting the veggies, despite Alex’s gaze at her. She told him to leave the kitchen, but he did not listen. She was worried about what his employees would think of her, but Alex did not look like he was going to leave.
She decided to just leave him and focus on the cooking until she looked up to him. “Is there a reason why you like eating at a specific place? Or is it common for all werewolves?” Ellie asked, her face showing the curiosity she was having.
“No. I almost got killed by food from a maid.” Alex said with a smile. But Ellie, on the other hand, looked at him in shock. “How can he joke about such a thing?”
“I see.” She managed to say. “But why does the maid want to kill you? Did you do something to her?” She asked, knowing the kind of behaviour he has.
“You think I did something to her?” Alex snorted with laughter. “Who cares why she did it? I made sure she wouldn’t think of doing that again by cutting all her limbs off.” He said this, staring deep into Ellie’s eyes.
Ellie just stood there looking at him. She quickly took the knife and continued cutting the vegetables without saying a single word. She knew that he was not a nice person, and what the maid did was also bad, but cutting off her limbs was too much for her.
After some silence between the two of them, Alex asked. “Where did you learn to cook?” He wanted to clear up the awkwardness between them.
“My mom,” Ellie answered.
“Speaking of my mom, what did she talk to you about?” Ellie asked, looking up at him. She had finished cutting the veggies, and she had started cooking them.
Alex smiled; he knew that it had been eating her up since last night. “It’s a secret. And I can’t tell anyone.”
“Secret?! How can you have a secret conversation with my mother?” Ellie asked. She had been so curious about what they talked about; she even asked her mom, but Mrs. Loren did not answer her.
She did not bother saying a word to him again; she thought maybe cooking for him could make him talk, but she had forgotten he was a devil who shouldn’t be trusted.
“Is my bunny angry at me?” Alex asked with a teasing smile, but Ellie did not say anything to him.
Suddenly, Alex held her hand and pulled her closer. “You’re owing me something.” He said it with a cunning smile.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
What are you doing? Let me go! Ellie said, trying to push him away. She knew that he was thinking of doing something bad because of the smile on his face.
Without giving her any time to talk again, he slammed his lips on her. He held her waist and sucked her lips as if his life depended on it. He only let her go when she kept mumbling under his lips about the food getting burnt.

Late in the night. In an uncompleted building. Sophie was sitting on a couch with smoke coming out of her mouth.
Then, suddenly, the door opened, and Gregory entered with a lady. “This is the girl. It was not easy finding someone, but due to the money she needed for her mother’s health, she’d do the job.” Gregory said with a smile. He was the only one who knew the kind of trouble he had been into getting the girl.
Sophie stood up from the chair, walked to the girl, and placed her hand on the girl’s chin. “I see. What’s your name, girl?” Sophie asked.
“It’s Belinda, ma’am.” The girl answered; she noticed the weird smile Sophie was giving her.
Before Belinda could ask the question in her mind, everything happened so fast that she suddenly heard a gunshot.
She screamed at the sight of a body that had dropped to the ground.
