Part Wolf

Wolf

Elize cocked her head t the side in confusion, momentarily forgetting that she was kidnapped.

"Do I know you?" She asked.

The man standing in front of her was surprised for a moment. But he was quick to mask it. His face hardened once again. Elize stepped out of the room and slowly started walking towards him. She didn't know what came over her. But it was as if by instinct- she wanted to be closer to him. She knew that she was forgetting something.
She wanted to know something. What was it?

The man was quite tall, Elize thought. Maybe even taller than Alex.
Alex! Her brother is not with her!

She stopped in the middle of the corridor, one step away from the stranger. She pointed her index finger at his face.

"You! You took me here!" Elize accused the man, narrowing her eyes.
He stood looming over Elize, looking down at her with his expression unchanged as if she didn't matter. A low growl erupted from somewhere, in a warning.

"How dare you point your finger at our Alpha?!" A voice thundered from behind him.

It was the other man that he was talking to a while before. Elize stepped sideways to see the man behind the voice. He was tall - but at least three inches shorter than the man who he just called Alpha. He had clear brown eyes and pale skin. His black hair was held back neatly by a band. His black t-shirt was strained by the muscles underneath. Wherever his skin was exposed- it was covered in tattoos- except on his face.

She raised her right eyebrow at him "Then, would you like to answer my question?"

The man seemed to get more irritated with her by the second.

"Enough Mikail. She's just a woman." Blue eyes commanded in a deep voice.

At this, the tattooed man backed off, bending his head. But his fists were clenched. For a moment, Elize wanted to step closer to the origin of that voice. But she resisted. How dare he insult womankind?!

"What. Did. You. Just. Say?!!!" Elize screamed. "JUST a woman you tall piece of shit?!"

She couldn't help it. They were asking for it. At this, the stranger turned towards her, clearly annoyed. He opened his mouth to say something and then closed it as if he knew better than that.
Elize counted down to ten and breathed slowly to calm herself down. She can't be distracted. She needed her answers.

"Look," she said with more determination, "I think I got lost. I need to find my brother. Is this the Island?"

The man narrowed his eyes. "How do you know about this place?"

Relieved at the obvious answer to that question, she relaxed a bit.

She explained. "You see, I was invited. Someone is waiting for me and I bet she is worried sick right now."

His gaze on her hardened. He didn't believe her.

"How did you open a portal? You don't smell like a human."

Elize was taken aback. How could he know that?! And what does he mean smell?

"I don't know what you're talking about." Elize fidgeted.

The man inched closer to her as she retreated from his presence. He cornered her against a wall. He placed his hands on either side of the wall and bent dangerously close to her face.

"Don't lie to me woman. I can smell your fear. You lie." He said, breathing down on her.

Elize didn't know what to do. She had a strange urge to lean closer to him and smell him. He smelled like the earth on a rainy day mixed with sweet honey. She shook her head. Not right now, she thought to herself. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the man now standing in front of her. She needed to escape.
