Chapter 18

Bonnie's POV

"Mama please don't leave me" the young girl cries hysterically while her mother hugs her tightly.

" shhhh..It's okay sweetie, mama will never leave you" a woman with brown curly hair brushed the young girls hair while rocking back and forth with her.she looks at the young girl , and whispers.

" Sweetie, how about we play hide and seek, except this time you will hide in here, while mommy tries to sneak up on Daddy. " The young girl shakes her head, but her mother cups her face.

" Mama please don't go, they will hurt you, I don't want to lose you, please mama , please don't go" the young girl sobs and clutches her mother's hand.

" Sweetie pie you know that I will never leave you, remember mommy will always be with you wherever you are even in your heart." The woman gives the little girl a kiss on her forehead.

" Sweetie I need you to be brave Okay, now be super quiet and don't leave this spot alright, mommy will be right back" the little girl is frightened but nods. Her mother stands up and closes the closet she's hiding in, leaving her in total darkness.

The house is silent when suddenly the same terrifying howls erupt all through the house, they finally found them, the young girl pulled her knees closer to her chest and covered her ears blocking the loud crashes she heard.

She starts crying and remembers a lullaby her mother sang to her every night she went to sleep , she starts humming softly, this calms her, she breaks her trance when she hears a blood chilling scream from her mother mixed with a growl. She slowly opens the door of the closet and crawls peeping through the door way, she freezes when she sees lots of blood gushing from her mother's neck, on top of her is a wolf. She screams.."

I fall off the bed as I wake up screaming. Adrian rushes to my side.

" Bonnie , it's okay hush , you were having a bad dream" Adrian wakes me up, and hugs me when she sees my tears.

" It's happening again Adrian, it's ... happening" I croak while saying this.

" What are you talking about and what do you mean it's happening again." Adrian asks me while helping me up on the bed.

" The dreams.. the little girl." I whisper while shaking terribly in her arms. Damos and Roman enter the room, they both notice that I am upset.

" What's going on, why is she crying?" Damos gets closer to us.

" She had a bad dream. " Adrian releases me and places her hand on my forehead checking for my temperature. Adrian tucks me back into bed and pulls a food trolley next to the bed.

" Thank you Adrian but I am not hungry" I push the tray of food away but Adrian pushes it back.

" No can do young lady, Dr Carol instructed that you rest and eat properly" she takes a spoon and tries feeding me the soup in the white bowl, I try moving away but know it's pointless as my other arm is hurting. Instead I purse my lips tightly.

" Come on now, open up!" Adrian tries to persuade me but I keep shaking my head.The boys are chuckling at the sight before them.

" This is pointless.." I try smiling noticing that Adrian feels like giving up, but what she does next leaves me stunned.

" Brother I think you should try feeding the luna, seeing that she won't let me do it." Adrian turns to Damos holding out the dish of soup.my eyes grow wide while Damos looks dumbstruck.

" I don't think that's a great idea, maybe we should..." Damos tries to turn her down but she stands up and places the bowl in his hands.

" Nonsense, besides Carol said that it's important she eats ,now Roman I think we should leave these two love birds don't you think?" She grabs Roman before he even responds and they both leave the room.

I feel like strangling Adrian, the atmosphere is tense between us ,I notice that he's wearing the shirt I bought him, weird I don't even remember giving it to him let alone how I got to bed last night. I clear my throat,

" Uhhhm, I see you got my gift, it looks good on you." I can't help but gush over his ink stained biceps, I shift my gaze to the bowl he's holding

" You actually gave it to me ,yesterday and I must admit I really like it , thanks" he smiles revealing a dimple I never saw before, I feel giddy by just looking at him,wait he said I gave it to him, except I don't recall giving him that shirt.

" That's good to know, and... I am sorry for maxing your card out, I just wanted to have fun with the girls while getting to know them." I am not the type to say sorry but in this case it's the only way I know how to bring him closer to me.

" Actually, I should be the one apologizing after treating you like.." he looks down to the floor as he tries to finish off his sentence but I interrupt him.

" Damos..stop, I know why you did it, and quite frankly I would have done the same if an intruder came in my territory, and I felt threatened by them. If you must know I don't like eating cold soup and I suggest you feed me before I change my mind again."

He nods and sits next to me, he looks at me for a moment and starts by holding out the spoon to my mouth,as I open my mouth I feel my heart beating fast.

"You know it was kind of funny seeing your wild side" Damos grins as he says this.

" What do you mean by my wild side?" I feel confused, I even noticed earlier that Roman couldn't look at me.

" Don't you remember, you asked me and Roman to give you a strip show" I choke on the soup in my mouth and cough.

I feel my cheeks flush red , surely he was joking.

" Mmm ..I don't know what you are talking about." Damos gives me a napkin to wipe my mouth while I try to register what happened last night.

" Well you were all over the show, you know.." Damos looks sideways while scratching his head.

" I.. well..that was ... probably the medication talking" I try regaining my composure.

" Yeah, maybe anyway let's get you well fed so you can drink more of that medication, I would like to see more of that wild side again." Damos says this in a flirtatious tone.

I take the pillow next to me and hit him with it.

" Hey..what's that for, I was just saying." He laughs and takes another pillow but before he can even attempt anything I stop him.

" Don't you dare, unless you want Adrian to know about this, and we both know how it will end." I grin knowing very well he can't touch me, we both laugh.

After finally swallowing the last spoon of soup, Damos hands me some green tablets,I hesitate as I don't exactly trust them after what he told me.

" Relax, we got them from the pharmacy in town they should help with the pain, and I also told Carol to lower your dosage next time." He hands me a glass of water while I put the pills in my mouth, our hands touch sending an electric spark to my skin, my heart rate rockets while we gaze into each other's eyes.

I break the eye contact, and take the glass of water. I drink all the tablets .

" Thank you." I say this handing the glass back.

" Pleasure, I will get the girls to take this out , as for me I need to get to a meeting." Suddenly the old cold Damos is back , I don't exactly want him to leave after the moment we just shared, but then again I have a mission.

Damos says his goodbye and leaves the room, a few minutes later Elaine comes to take the food trolley out, I jump out of bed and head to the shower, my arm stings as the water trickles down my body. I smile thinking about Damos, and how I feel whenever I am around him, but then I remember my mission and how it all started.

Luther quitely stands behind his desk looking back at his view from the tower, soft opera music plays in the background of his classically furnished office, I cough.

" you wanted to see me".

he snaps out of his trance turning back to face me, Luther has a well built figure,he's silver grey hair is gelled back neatly for a man in his late forties he sure had a great body ,

"Bonnie I need you to drop all your plans I have your next target"

he replies with a booming voice, I tune out of my thoughts I give him a confused look, he hands me a black file I scan the file, a picture of a man with black hair and a well structured face,he's big muscles had tattoes. I look up in shock as I realise who my next target is, he's a well known business mogul and lives far away from Illinois Chicago deep in the woods , Damos Eli Parker.

Luther clears my confusion " a client wants information about his dealings and I knew you were the perfect candidate for this job" he sits back in his leather chair and drinks his whiskey ,

" so you want me to spy on him is that it?" I ask , a smile appears on his tan face

"why yes Bonnie not everything has to be about blowing people up, besides this is going to be easy for someone experienced as you". I raise my brows

" couldn't you find someone else for this little pesky job I mean I don't exactly find anything amusing about following some rich guy."

Luther bends back in his chair "Bonnie this is not about you finding pleasure and you are the best candidate who will successfully do this job" I roll my eyes

"fine when do I start?" The smile on his face disappears replacing it is a frown

"Bonnie this assignment is going to be different from all your assignments and you are going to be bothered by what you find." I laugh at him

"Oh Luther what can possibly scare little Bonnie" he shakes his head and replies

" you start tomorrow Phillip will have everything you need delivered to your Penthouse, and I suggest you rest before going to your wild parties." I give him a mischievous look "Luther you really need to relax anyway I need to head back to my training" I take the file and head towards the heavy oak door as I am about to open it Luther calls out "Bonnie be careful " I give him a wink and head out.
