Story: Ellie 2
I snorted and didn’t even look over. “Go fuck yourself. There, good chat.”
The vehicle swerved in front of me to block my path and I looked at the man then, seeing the same rage-filled eyes I had earlier on the husband.
“Your father really needs to get you in line, girl,” he bit out.
I threw back my head and laughed. “I’m older than you,boy, and my father is a useless piece of shit who is as deluded as you are.” I smirked at him. “But bully on you for doing your homework and learning I’m from that family. At least you’re not a lazy adversary. Even the former board of directors didn’t do their due diligence.”
He didn’t hide his surprise well and shook his head. “Laziness really comes at all levels.”
“Oh, I didn’t think there would be anything I agreed with you on, but I do that.” I still made it clear that I looked down on him. “Well, good chat. I’m too busy for this, and I believe you’re wanted by the police, yes?”
He adjusted his neck and opened the door, getting out of the vehicle. “We’re about to handle that, so get in the car and let’s have a pleasant chat before this gets ugly, Ms. Reed.”
The window of the passenger’s seat rolled down and I saw the gun before I heard it click.
I smirked at that guy. “Yeah, go ahead. Not only would I be fine, but cameras are all over here and security is absolutely on their way since they always watch my walk to the garage. So your threat is stupid and—”
“You are on my last nerve,” the patriarch snarled as he moved towards me.
I was ready to block him when he reached for me but gasped when he suddenly wasn’t there.
And instead, was on the ground being mauled by an extremely large wolf.
Oh shit.
The guy in the front seat opened the door to get out and help his boss, but I kicked the door hard. It bounced him into the car and he dropped the gun.
“It’s Dr. Clark!” someone yelled from my left.
I saw security coming out of the corner of my eye as the driver got out. He was armed too, but he saw that more help was arriving and flipped the gun in his hand so it wasn’t a threat.
“The wolf is Dr. Clark,” one of the guards I knew well said as he joined us.
Oh, right, the wolf.
“Makes sense,” I muttered, giving a half shrug when the wolf turned to me and huffed. “Hey, it’s not like I’ve seen your wolf, and I was kind of focused on all of this.” I gestured to the vehicle and people.
I took it as a good sign when the wolf just plopped down next to me.
“He’s alive,” a different guard said as he went to the now-mauled vampire. He glanced up at me. “We have to like help him, right?”
“Yes, we’re a hospital,” I drawled. I rubbed my hand over my face before looking down at the wolf. “You are really an enigma and just made a huge fucking headache for yourself.”
“We were alerting people we were leaving our posts because you had a problem and Dr. Clark blew by us,” the first guard explained. “I’ve never seen someone run that fast and then his stuff was on the ground and…” He gestured to the wolf.
Yeah, he shifted. Even I was caught up on that.
“Alright, let’s go handle the next headache for me instead of the salad in my fridge from that new place I’d been planning for my exciting night,” I drawled as I headed for the police who were pulling up.
Always,alwayssomething to deal with.

Ha-joon
I had thought I’d beat Ellie to her condo given she had to talk to the police and handle more, but then again, I’d had to talk to them as well. And security.
And I’d stopped for flowers.
