Years Accompanied by Demons

Chapter 2 Be his prey

Hearing the man's voice, I trembled with fear. I raised my head and saw those blue-gray eyes.

I tried to get rid of him and walk around the other side of the Billboard, but he grabbed my jaw. He stretched out his legs and trapped me inside.

I kept begging, "please let go of me. You've got what you want" I shed tears because of fear, and my voice trembled, "You have destroyed everything about me. Why do you still try to find me?"

The man pressed my hand against the wall, and the way he looked at me made me feel terrified. 

It was like a beast staring at the prey in his hand. He seemed to be greedy for the smell of me. He lowered his head and sniffed gently at me. Soon, he seemed to calm down, but I felt the grasp on my hands was strengthening.

He pinched my wrist, and my bones seemed to be about to break. I could feel that he hated me, even though I didn't know why.

He came close to my ear and said in a low voice, "Don't hurt my sister again. You know, as a werewolf, I can kill you easily."

I replied helplessly, "No one wants to hurt her. As I said, I didn't know Logan was married. He lied to me. If I knew Stella was his wife, I wouldn't be with him. I don't want to hurt anyone, including Stella and your family."

I struggled to get him to let me go. This man's strength was so muscular that I couldn't get away quickly. I could only promise him, "I promise, I'll leave here and never see Logan again. Please don't come to me again."

The man smiled sarcastically. He threatened me severely, "Good choice. I'll always make sure you won't do anything to hurt my sister again." The man turned and walked away. 

I lost my strength and collapsed in the narrow space behind the Billboard. The pain made me very uncomfortable, but I must leave here as soon as possible.

Calling the police was useless in my world. Werewolves were the most powerful, who even human police didn't dare to piss off. Offending them meant nobody could protect me but myself. I just wanted to start over and forget the bad things I ever had in this place.

When I got home, it was an ordinary apartment. This building was a little far from the company, but fortunately, the rent was cheap.

I saw Logan's car parked on the side of the road. He knew where I lived, and he often drove me back when we went to the movies on our date.

Since then, Logan had often come to my apartment. We like playing games and watching movies at my home.

I just remembered that Logan never invited me to his house. Maybe he was afraid that I would meet Stella.

I saw Logan standing by the side of the road, leaning against the door. He seemed to be waiting for me to come back. Seeing me, Logan said, "Eleanor, are you okay?" He grabbed my arm and looked worried, "I called you, but you didn't answer. I came to the apartment to see you, but the landlord said you haven't come back."

My arm had been hurt by the man before. So, Logan's touch only made me afraid. I resisted and said, "Logan, let's break up."

Logan couldn't believe it and asked, "Eleanor, I love you very much. I can't live without you."

I thought it was funny. I looked into his eyes and said, "Stella came to me."

Logan was silent for a long time before he said, "Eleanor, I'm sorry to let you know this, but I can explain that I have no feelings for Stella. No, never. I don't love her at all, but what can I do? Stella and her brother are Alpha, and I'm just a Beta. She likes me and wants to marry me. I can't resist it at all. But it's different now."

Logan looked a little emotional, utterly different from what he used to be. He was always elegant before.

"Eleanor, I like you and want to be with you. I thought my life would end, but I know that there is a second possibility since I met you. The life I want to live is to escape from Stella and his brother so that I will divorce her as soon as possible. Please give me another chance, okay?"

Logan came forward as if to hug me, but I pushed him away. I was exhausted physically and mentally. I didn't want to hear any explanation from him and continued this relationship. 

"But Logan, you lied to me from the beginning, didn't you? I won't accept betrayal in a relationship. Please go away. I don't want to see you again."

When I was a child, I remembered that Mrs. Howard, the neighbor, caught her husband and other women together. People in the town scolded the woman who destroyed other people's families and marriages. 

I wouldn't say I liked it very much. However, I became the most annoying person because of Logan's deception. I couldn't continue this relationship after knowing all the truth.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, and I don't want to be a home-wrecker. Please don't come to me again." I pushed Logan away and went upstairs. 

When I was ready to open the room, I suddenly thought that the apartment's key seemed to be in the company. I put it on my desk when I was packing up. Because of the conflict with Stella, the table was overturned, and the key fell to the ground.

I was a little scared to come back to the company. But I should get my key to get into my apartment, so I decided to go downstairs.

I heard sounds downstairs. I was liked walking on eggshells.

'Will I meet that man and Stella again?' Please no...
