Chapter 5
Adolpha laid on the bed with eyes constantly staring at the ceiling and ears listening as the clock tick by. Her mother had gone to work and Hardulf her younger brother had gone to college , she and Ylva were the only one at home.
She couldn't stop thinking about her encounter with Connor.
" You are my mate" that sentence kept flashing back and forth her memory.
'Was he pulling my legs?' She said suddenly sitting upright on the bed.
She kept finding it mysterious how he got the mate feeling while she didn't. Her mother told her it would be a mutual feeling for her and her mate but it wasn't the case.
" Ahhhh" She whined scattering her hair with her hands and hitting her legs against the bed.
Ylva came into the room to see what made her big sister whine like a baby.
" Why are your hair scattered? " She asked as soon as she entered whilst trying to stop herself from bursting into laughter seeing on her sister look like a mad woman.
"Ylva....." Adolpha whined again this time dragging Ylva to sit on the bed with her.
Ylva wondered what got into her and looked at her in a way that would make Adolpha know how weird she acted.
Adolpha explained everything that happened with Connor to Ylva.
"Oh my god you found a mate at last" Ylva shrieked with excitement.
" But wait how come you didn't feel anything, or are you in love with someone else?" She asked as the smiles and excitement suddenly disappears.
"No Ylva, you'd be the first to know if that were to be the case" Adolpha replied sadly.
" He was probably lying then " Ylva concluded.
She felt angry just with the thought that someone tried to play with her sister's feelings, she promised to teach him a lesson whenever she meets him.
She tried to put Adolpha at rest by telling her she would find her real mate soon.
" Don't tell mum about this" Adolpha pleaded with Ylva.
" I won't,I promise"

Gringggggggg!!
The alarm sounded loudly waking Adolpha up from sleep. She planned of sneaking out of the house that day to avoid her mother's sermon.
It was her first day of work and she needed to get to work as fast as possible. She checked her mail hours after she spoke with Ylva two days ago only to see a mail sent from 'Just you perfumery' congratulating her on her employment as the new product manager. She couldn't believe she would be the product manager for one of the biggest perfume companies in world. Hardly would you go to a cosmetics store and not see a perfume by the company,that's how popular they are.
She had neatly ironed her clothes the night before and now is the time to suit up. She took a very quick bath, rubbed her favorite strawberry flavored lotion and then took her clothes from the closet. It was a three pieces clothing,a nude blazer with black trousers and then an inner black colored top.
She applied a light makeup after wearing her clothes,tied her hair backwards,grabbed her shoulder bag and quietly left the house. As She walked along the route to the bus station she remembered how happy her mother was when she broke the news of her employment to her. At least now her mother would stop working as a cook.
She checked the time on her phone,it was 6:30am. She would get to work on time if she increased her pace so she hopped on her feet playfully as she went but suddenly stopped when someone stood in front of her. It was Luther, the crazy vampire that wouldn't let her be.
She had known Luther ever since she moved to the neighborhood when she was little. She tried to stay away from him as much as she could because they were enemies by nature not only that she disliked him as well.
" Hey pretty " He said try to touch her cheek. To Adolpha vampires smelled like rotten egg so she hated coming in close contact with one,dirty ones like Luther were worse,she felt like throwing up .
She moved backwards to prevent him from touching her.
'Why would I meet such a nincompoop on my first day of work' She thought cursing under her breath at the same time.
" I will be waiting patiently for your reply baby" He said smiling sheepishly.
" I thought I already gave you my reply. I'm not interested in marrying you!,what part of that don't you understand?"
Luther's eyeballs were on fire as soon as she said that. He moved close to her, took her by the hand and dragged her to a secluded area pinning her to a wall.
" This is such a silent place and I can snap your neck within a second without anyone noticing you're gone" He said smirking evilly like a psychopath.
Adolpha knew she wouldn't dare to scream at this point because he would kill her if she does.
He closed his eyes sniffed her neck and licked it
" You smell so good,one wouldn't know you're a crawling beast. Smelling your blood makes me crave for breakfast as well".
He tried lifting his face up to her lips when he was knocked out from behind.
Adolpha trembled in fear, her eyes were closed ever since Luther pinned her to the wall. She heard a thump so she opened her eyes to see Connor before her with a heavy plank. He raised an eyebrow and smirked,he grabbed her hand and they ran as fast as they could to the bus station.
They got a bus as soon as they got to the station,she felt safe around him.
" Are you okay?" Connor asked after noticing her silence ever since they left the station.
"How.... did you find me?" She stuttered.
"I had a feeling you were in danger so I ran as fast I could to your house,you weren't there so...." he paused and whispered in her ear
" I traced your smell"
"I understand that you did that but why would you endanger your life like that just to save a stranger " She asked him with notes of frustration in her voice.
He turned to look at her and smiled " You're mine and I wouldn't let anyone harm you in anyway ".
" You're definitely crazy" Adolpha replied angrily.
