I fell backwards onto the bed from the force of the push as he hovered over me with lightning speed. "You love pissing me off, don't you, 'mate'?" He said irritatedly with his breath fanning over my face. I looked him straight in the eyes and said, "I think you've overstayed your welcome, 'mate'." I spat the last part with all the hatred I could possibly muster.

  I saw a look of anger flash through his eyes before calmness took over as he moved from on top of me into a sitting position. "Tomorrow you are not leaving this house, and if you do I will hunt you down and you will regret it." He said in a calm eerie manner, which in turn scared the shit out of me. My eyes caught the attention of his hands and they were visibly shaking. I swallowed a lump in my throat having the urge to comfort him, but I pushed it down.

  He was obviously about to flip his shit, and I knew how to pick my battles, but this was one I knew I wouldn't win. I sat up not talking to him as he stood up and turned toward me. I felt like his eyes were piercing my soul as he bent down leaning closer to me as I tensed up in fear. His hand pulled the back of my head closer to his own as he planted a feather-like kiss on my forehead.

  He let go and said a quiet goodnight as he went to the door looking back at me before he exited the room. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as soon as I heard the door close. That man terrifies me and as if on cue, my phone chimed signaling that I had gotten a message. I opened it already knowing it was him.

Calix: Don't worry about locking the doors back because I already did it, and in case you're wondering, yes I have a spare key.

  I re-read the message to make sure I didn't read it wrong. There was no way he was serious I thought as I made my way down the stairs going to investigate the supposedly locked doors. When I went to the front door I felt my heart speed up a bit as I turned the knob only to reveal that it was locked. Then I went to the back door and it was locked as well.

  Alex literally just installed those locks today so how did he have a key made? Was it while I was sleeping? I mean even if it was it's not like it could be ready that soon, and when did he even have time to get it if he was with me the whole time? Unless he wasn't. As the questions started to fill my head I decided to just ask him before I gave myself a headache. I shot him a text and not even 2 seconds later he replied.

Amani: How and when did you get a key to my house?

Calix: I ordered a spare before you got home when you left with that mutt. After looking at it I immediately knew which kind of lock it was and just called it in as a rush order and went to go get it while you were sleeping.

Amani: I will call the police on you and file a report and you will go to prison because that is a crime.

Calix: Righttt because that worked out so well for you the last time. You're going to eventually move in with me anyway Amani. So get over it.

  Move in my ass, who does he think he is? I put my phone on my bed as I got undressed and headed to the shower. This had to be another level of stalking or something, or delusion at its best. There was one thing I was curious about though and I decided to ask him about it tomorrow face to face.

   I got in the shower and ran the water as hot as I could get it to wash his lingering touch off of me. I was going to need to wash the sheets and covers on my bed that were tainted by his touch. I got out of the shower and lotioned up my body looking in the mirror for the first time since I woke up and got dressed. I noticed that I had angry red marks on my jaw where Calix had held my jaw in place. It didn't look that bad or hurt at all, but the fact remained that his touch irritated my skin in more ways than one.

  I took the covers off the bed and put them in the laundry basket then I went downstairs to put them in the washer. The washer and dryer came with the house which worked out well for me because I didn't have to buy one. I put the covers in the washer and sat on the couch opening my laptop to check the emails my editor had sent me. My manuscript was officially good to go, which made me over the moon happy that I didn't have to do any revising and fixing it up.

  I brewed some tea and sat down flicking through Netflix shows trying to pass the time. I soon found myself dozing off after an hour or two of killing my brain cells with Ginny and Georgia.

  I woke up so warm and cozy. I never wanted to leave this spot as I snuggled into it deeper only to be wrapped in muscular arms which made my eyes shoot open in realization. I tried to get up but of course he held me in place preventing me from moving. I looked up to find that I was encased in his arms on top of his chest laying down in my bed that was made to perfection.

  "Stop moving Amani." He said gruffly as he gently pushed my head back down on his chest. "Let go of me, and why the hell are you here?" I asked annoyedly as I tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but one sharp slap to my ass made me immediately stop as I gasped in surprise.

  "It'd be in your best interest to just do what I ask of you." He said pointedly. I rolled my eyes in annoyance at his statement, but complied with his demand to stop moving so I wouldn't receive another slap to the ass. "Why are you here Calix?" I asked him as I failed to hide the obvious irritation in my voice.

  "Do I need a reason to see and spend time with my mate?" He asked mockingly as he started rubbing my lower back in a circular motion. It was very soothing, but I'll never admit that to him. "You know this is called breaking and entering and I can have you arrested because it's a crime." I spat.

  He hummed in response, obviously not giving a shit. It made me wonder even more who he really was. I mean the guy was obviously loaded and it seemed like he was an exception to the law seeing as he wasn't in prison right now for all the crimes he committed against me. "Calix?" I asked, turning my head up slightly towards him.

  "Yes beautiful?" He said looking down at me with those vibrant inhuman blue eyes. "Who are you really?" I asked curiously awaiting his answer.

  He chuckled a bit before he answered me. "Are you finally interested in me Amani?" He asked playfully as he smiled at me and sat up a bit more. "Don't get the wrong idea. I only asked because everyone seems to worship the ground you walk on. Like you're some kind of celebrity or something." I told him truthfully.

   "Oh that." He smiled as he bent down slightly to kiss my head. I in turn grimaced at the action. "It's one of the perks of being an Alpha." He said proudly. "And you are my Luna, so people will respect you as much as they respect me." He continued.

  I looked at him in confusion as I sat up completely. "What are you talking about?" "Every Alpha and pack has a Luna. The Luna is the other half of an Alpha and she is the female Alpha. The Alpha can only rule to the best of his abilities with his Luna by his side. Since you are my mate, that makes you the Luna of our pack." He explained.

  I straight up laughed in his face. If he thought that I was going to be his 'Luna', he had another thing coming. He seemed to be forgetting the fact that he and I would not be anything other than associates at best. Scratch that, I wasn't even willing to associate with him, mostly all of our interactions were forced by him.

  "I will not be your so-called Luna. I refuse to even put that thought in your head so you can shove-" He cut me off by wrapping his hand around my neck and pulling me closer to his face. The action made my head jerk back a bit at how fast he did it.

  "Do not test my patience mate. The next time you say such disrespectful words, I'll make you choke on them."
