I sat down with my head bowed. The handsome man took me into his house. I was terrified. He kept talking about my mom's necklace.
"Do you really not know where your mom got that necklace?" the man in the black suit asked.
"I have to tell you how many times. That necklace was my mother's. And I don't know where my mom got it."
I felt like the accused. The handsome man kept intimidating me. He couldn't calm down.
"Mr. Maxwell, calm down. There may have been a misunderstanding," said the man in the black suit.
"Misunderstanding?" The handsome man turned out to be Mr. Maxwell. He glanced at me. "I have that bond, Aiden! She is my mate. She is human!"
Mr. Maxwell was furious. I didn't understand what he meant by mate, and he called me human. Why would he call me that? Is he not human?
"Excuse me. Are you going to be like this all night?" I asked. I was so cold, and they had been arguing with each other since before. "If this conversation is over. I'd better get going. I apologize for carelessly entering this house."
They turned to me. I became awkward again. So, I lowered my head.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but we're not done yet," Mr. Maxwell said. "You must take responsibility."
"I have to take responsibility? What did I do wrong?"
Mr. Maxwell justified his position. He stepped towards me and then showed me his incredible charm. I must admit he was very charming. I don't know why I feel like I have an attraction to him.
"Do you feel something on me?" Mr. Maxwell asked.
"Something? Like what?"
"Like the desire to make love?"
"Sir." The man in the black suit, named Aiden, reprimanded Mr. Maxwell. "She's still young."
Mr. Maxwell shuddered. He looked at me closely. "How old are you, Sweetie?"
"I'm eighteen today," I replied.
Mr. Maxwell held his forehead. He seemed to be frustrated. What made him feel frustrated?
"Oh. This is your birthday. Are you ready to sleep with me?" asked Mr. Maxwell.
"What?" I couldn't believe a strange man was asking about something sensitive like this. "Sir, forgive me if I made a mistake. I don't think those words are appropriate for you to say. Don't we know each other? You are a stranger.”
"I'm not a stranger. You should feel what I feel." Mr. Maxwell insisted.
I looked around. I felt that something was wrong with this man. This house is huge and has very nice decorations, but I don't see anyone here. I know rich people have strange habits. But I don't think this is normal.
"I have to go, Sir." I quickly got up. I had to leave this place, or I would have bad luck.
Suddenly, Mr. Maxwell pulled me by the waist, and I fell into his arms instantly. I was shocked. Is he going to do something terrible to me? What should I do? I was getting scared. I heard that many people have dirty jobs in the dark world. Maybe he was someone who ran a human trafficking business.
"What are you doing, Sir? Let me go!" I yelled.
"Aiden, prepare a room for her. She's cold," Mr. Maxwell said.
"No!" I tried to rebel, but there was nothing I could do. His hands gripped my body tighter and tighter.
I felt a strange feeling. I was scared, but another side of me seemed to recognize him. Even though I had never even met him before.
"I won't hurt you. If you stay calm, I'll explain everything," Mr. Maxwell said.
"I don't need an explanation. I've had a very bad day today. I don't want it to get worse because of you!" I retorted loudly.
Mr. Maxwell's eyes flashed red. I was even more shocked. How could that be? A moment later, I felt his body heat up.
"s**t!" Mr. Maxwell growled. "Aiden!" He even shouted.
"The room is ready, Sir!" A man named Aiden provided the information. "Please, over here."
Mr. Maxwell carried my body. I was even more stunned. What the hell is this? What are they going to do to me? I've already been kicked out of my uncle's house. I shouldn't have to succumb to misfortune again.
My body was led to the interior of the house. We passed through a large hallway. I was stunned by the luxurious furniture in this house. Who is this man? He's so wealthy. Is he a conglomerate?
We arrived at a room. Aiden opened the door for us. Mr. Maxwell led me inside. I saw a large, clean bed. This room was also very lovely and bright and had cozy decorations. Am I going to be defiled here? Oh, no. I don't want to do anything with a stranger.
My body was laid down on the bed very carefully by Mr. Maxwell. I closed my eyes in fear.
"I told you that I won't hurt you. You can sleep here tonight," Mr. Maxwell said.
"Why?" I asked. "Why are you being nice to me? You must have bad intentions towards me! Are you going to sell me into the dark web?"
Mr. Maxwell was staring at me intently. I looked into his clear brown eyes. I became embarrassed because I was intimidated by his good looks.
"How do you know about the dark web? You're so young," Mr. Maxwell said.
"It's on social media. Now, explain to me why you brought me to the room. Why did you want me to sleep here? Why did you ask about the necklace? Why did you… " I lost focus as I was stunned by Mr. Maxwell's good looks. "Why can't I stop staring at you?"
"Because we are mates," Mr. Maxwell replied.
"Mate?" Again, I hear this term. "You mean like a couple? I think you have lost your mind. We never even knew each other before."
"I know," Mr. Maxwell replied. "But that's what happened. I've been waiting for you for so long, My mate. I've finally met you. You will be here with me. Let me introduce myself. I am Logan Maxwell, Alpha of Star Moon Pack claiming you for being my mate. You are my destiny."
I saw Mr. Maxwell's eyes glow red again. Why is he like this? Did he have some kind of disorder? But I suddenly got goosebumps when I saw something appear before me. I saw something I couldn't believe.
"Argh!”
